Outside the courtyard of the Black Tiger Hall, Wang Xian sat on a chair, listening to his subordinates report on the battle situation with his eyes slightly closed.

"My lord, more than 300 enemies were killed and more than 1,000 were captured in this battle, and the losses of the soldiers were negligible." Cheng Zheng was a little frustrated: "But there are tunnels in the Black Tiger Hall, and those leaders have absconded......"

"Don't be too demanding...... Wang Xian didn't care, "Those are all old and cunning guys, if you say that there is no secret way, you can be caught obediently, it is really strange." ”

Cheng Zheng raised his voice slightly and said, "The brothers are in pursuit, and they must be arrested!" ”

"It doesn't matter." Wang Xian shook his head and smiled: "Our goal is to destroy their forces, and there are some fish left that have slipped through the net, which has nothing to do with the overall situation." ”

"Yes." Hearing what the adults said, Cheng Zheng felt a little better, and Fang showed a smile and said: "My lord's hand is really amazing, originally these guys were very scattered, and we couldn't wipe them all out, but our actions during the day made Ji Gang mistakenly think that we were going to use those martial arts people to deal with his disciples and grandchildren, and he ordered them to gather together...... Unexpectedly, we have been waiting for them to get together and give him a thunderous blow! ”

"Fiction and reality, reality and fiction." Yang Rong also smiled: "Your lord's attainments in the art of war have been perfected. ”

"Okay, stop slapping. Besides, I'm proud......" Wang Xian stood up from his chair and said, "Go look elsewhere!" ”。

The same encirclement and suppression was carried out inside and outside the capital, and without the need for his subordinates to report, the sound of artillery explosions woke Ji Gang from his sleep.

"What's the situation?" Ji Gang walked outside the house barefoot, only to see Zhuang Jing hurriedly put on his clothes and come out, the two of them looked at each other a little stunned, and then looked frightened.

"It seems to be outside in the **** ......" Zhuang Jing said with a stir, patted his thigh vigorously and said: "It's bad, we were played!" ”

"......" Ji Gang also understood that he was completely calculated by Wang Xian. The fierce offensive of the original surnamed Wang during the day was actually just a false move, and the real purpose was actually to let him give an order to gather those disciples and disciples, and then Wang Xiancai used the army and the Beizhen Fusi to wipe them out!

The reason why it was chosen at night is because every day when it gets dark, the nine gates of the imperial city will be locked, and the door will not be opened unless the emperor's gold medal is not opened! And the Han Wangfu is in the imperial city, and his brocade guard yamen is also in the imperial city, but the Beizhen Fusi Yamen, which was later separated, is located outside the imperial city because there is a huge edict. As for the lair of those gang members, naturally none of them were located in the heavily guarded imperial city, and all of them were outside the city and outside the city......

Wang Xian took advantage of the fact that he and King Han could not be there tonight, so he would let go of the killing so unscrupulously...... Because after tonight, the soldiers of the King of Han and the Jinyi Guard will strictly guard against his people, and it is impossible to let go of their hands and feet.

"The old ancestor is not good!" Ji Gang's face was iron-blue, his hands and feet were cold, Wang Qian hurriedly came in and reported: "Just now the children climbed the city tower, I saw that there were fires on all sides of the outer city, looking at the location, it was the place where the children gathered!" ”

"Wang Xian......" guessed this result is one thing, and it is another thing to confirm this result, Ji Gang's male body shook, in the firelight, a face was white, and the corners of his mouth were bloodshot: "You deceive people too much!" ”

Zhuang Jing opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak. Those ideas were all from him, who knew that they were in the hands of others. This is like playing mahjong to light a cannon for others, and the damage to confidence is too great......

"Old Ancestor, although we can't get out of the Imperial City, Lord Yuan and the huge people are outside!" Seeing that the two of them were silent, Wang Qian had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "The two of them may be able to block Wang Xian......"

"Count on those two goods, it's no ......" Ji Gang said hatefully, "Change clothes!" ”。

Since the twenty-seventh year of the Yuan Dynasty, when Zhu Yuanzhang, who called himself 'King Wu', began to build the new palace of King Wu for himself, after 25 years of construction, the palace of the Ming Dynasty and the inner and outer imperial cities coexisted with a huge pattern. Miyagi is the emperor's harem, and the main buildings are Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace. The Inner Imperial City is the place where the emperor went to court, and the main buildings are the three major halls. The Cabinet and the Six Sections are also located in it. The most eye-catching thing in the outer imperial city is the square in front of Chengtianmen, which has a thousand steps corridor on the left and right. The east side of the square is divided into five departments: officials, households, rites, soldiers, and workers...... The criminal department is outside the Taiping Gate in the north of the imperial city, and the west side is the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Jinyi Guard Yamen. The prince's east palace and the Han Wang's palace are also in the inner imperial city, separated from the world of civilians by a strict city wall, and the main gate of the outer imperial city is called Hongwu Gate!

Dozens of horsemen surrounded Ji Gang and rode out of the Jinyi Wei Yamen, and went straight to the Hongwu Gate!

"Stop!" The torches under the Hongwu Gate are bright, and the light is as bright as day. The forbidden army was heavily guarded, and when they saw someone riding on the street, they hurriedly stopped the horse in the middle of the road. The commander of the gate made Wang Tie shout in a deep voice: "Who dares to ride a horse in front of the gate of the imperial city late at night!" ”

Wang Qian, who was the leader, showed the brocade clothes and guarded the waist card, and said sharply: "Open the city gate quickly!" There is a rebellion outside the city, and the governor of my family wants to go out of the city to quell the rebellion! ”

"It turned out to be Wang Qianhu." On weekdays, he looked down and didn't look up, Wang Tie naturally knew Wang Qian, but he didn't dare to hold it up: "Dare to ask if Ji Dudu is there?" ”

"This seat is here, General Wang, please open the city gate quickly! Don't delay the big event of Jinyiwei! Ji Gang came out of the crowd, and a unicorn suit was particularly dazzling in the firelight.

"The last general will meet with the Governor." Wang Tie hurriedly saluted on one knee, but refused to let his subordinates move away from the horse: "The governor is famous, and the last general should have obeyed, but the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, Hongwu Gate is closed late at night, and the door must not be opened unless there is a holy decree!" ”

"It's a sudden change!" Ji Gang is naturally well versed in the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and said urgently: "You can open the door when there is a sudden change!" ”

"But that requires the edict of the prison country...... Wang Tie looked puzzled: "Don't blame the governor, if the last general dares to open the city gate without permission, it can be tantamount to rebellion, and it will punish the nine clans......"

"Bastard!" Ji Gang didn't have time to talk to him, glanced at the soldiers of Chang'an, and knew that no matter how verbose it was, it was nonsense, so he rode his horse and turned to Dong'anmen.

Who knew that in front of Dong'an Gate, the same scene was staged again, and the commander of the gate said helplessly: "Without the emperor's gold medal and the decree of the superintendent, we dare not open the door......"

touched Ji Dudu, who had a gray nose, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and then rode his horse back.

"Ancestor, let's go to Xi'an Gate to have a look?" Wang Qian asked in a low voice.

"a fart, touch a nose of ash?" Ji Gang scolded and ordered: "Go to the Han Palace!" ”

The Han Dynasty's mansion was also alarmed, and Zhu Gaoxu's father and son thought that Ji Gang was the first to rebel. is busy gathering the generals of the pro-soldiers, armed and ready to go straight to the East Palace, and chop up Zhu Gaochi's fat pig first! Who knew that when he gathered all the people and horses, he was about to set off, and he saw Ji Gang coming in sweating profusely.

Zhu Zhantan hurriedly greeted him and said, "Didn't you say that you want to do it together?" How did you start it in advance! ”

"What did I unleash?" Ji Gang was confused, and then he came to his senses, and scolded: "It's not my hand, it's Wang Xian's madman, who took advantage of the closure of the imperial city to kill outside!" ”

"Ahh Zhu Zhantan was surprised: "He's so bold, aren't you afraid that we will sue him for rebellion?!" ”

"That's all for later, let's look at the present!" As Ji Gang spoke, he came to the main hall of the palace and saw Zhu Gaoxu, who had recovered from his injuries. It is said that His Royal Highness the King of Han deserves to have the strongest body in the Ming Dynasty, and after being so seriously injured, it has only been a few months before he has recovered as before.

"What's going on, Ji?" Zhu Gaoxu was dressed in bright yellow armor, holding a golden gun that had accompanied him for many years, and glared at Ji Gang with tiger eyes: "Which one are you singing?!" ”

"It's not a ...... of anything" Ji Gang had no choice but to repeat what he said to Zhu Zhantan to King Han again.

Zhu Gaoxu exploded when he heard this, "Hey, this kid is so bold, do you treat this king as an ornament!" ”

"Isn't it?" Ji Gang said angrily: "Don't take us seriously!" ”

"But you're also a waste, you can't get out of Hongwumen if you can be blocked!" Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand, and the family general took his big black horse, turned over and said, "Look at me to open the door!" Saying that, more than 1,000 pro-soldiers and generals followed him out of the Han Palace, and came to Hongwu Gate in a blink of an eye.

"Wang Tie!" Seeing the rejection of the horse across the street, Zhu Gaoxu waved the golden gun in his hand, and the halberd pointed at the commander of the city gate guard and shouted: "Come and see Lonely!" ”

"Lord Wang......" As soon as Wang Tie saw that it was his old boss, his hands and feet became weak, but he didn't dare to step forward. Because above his head, there was also a heroic young man wearing bright yellow armor and a face that resembled that of Emperor Yongle.

"Hehe, the second uncle is so majestic." That person is naturally none other than Zhu Zhanji. His Royal Highness Taisun stood on the tower of Hongwumen City, stared at his uncle and said, "You took people out of the palace late at night, are you going hunting!" ”

"Oh, who should I be, it turned out to be the eldest nephew." As soon as Zhu Gaoxu saw that it was Zhu Zhanji, his eyes narrowed with hatred, but his voice said with a smile: "What, you want to stop the second uncle?!" ”

"How dare you dare, it's just that the ancestral system is difficult to violate." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "If the second uncle is not in a hurry, it is better to wait until dawn before going out." ”

"Why am I not in a hurry? Can't you hear the rebellion going on outside? Zhu Gaoxu said with a dark face.

"Because the situation is unknown, the city gate cannot be opened." Zhu Zhanji still smiled nonchalantly: "According to the regulations, the city defense should be strengthened at this time, and we will make plans after dawn!" ”

"You don't have to pretend to be confused here!" Zhu Zhantan said: "Don't you know who is making trouble outside?" ”

"I don't know." Zhu Zhanji flatly denied it: "I am here to inspect the imperial city on my father's orders!" As he spoke, he raised his voice and said word by word: "The edict of the prince of the prison country - those who dare to open the city gate without permission tonight will be punished for rebellion!" ”

"So, you're going to die and can't open it?" Zhu Gaoxu exploded his lungs in anger.

"It is difficult to disobey the order of the country...... Zhu Zhanji still said indifferently.

"Take the chicken feathers as ......an arrow," Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth and said: "I'll see how you end up tomorrow!" ”

"Tomorrow's things will be talked about tomorrow," Zhu Zhanji smiled indifferently: "Oh yes, it's not tomorrow, it's today." ”

"You wait for me!" Zhu Gaoxu roared: "This thing has just begun! ”

"That's right, we're just getting started!" Zhu Zhanji also said with a gloomy face: "Second uncle, just let the horse come!" ”

"Good! Good! Good! Zhu Gaoxu stared at his nephew on the city tower with resentful eyes, and finally turned the dock and shouted hatefully: "Go back first!" ”

"Father......" Zhu Zhantan was a little dumbfounded, how could his father, who has always been tough, give in in front of his most hated nephew?

"Shut up!" Zhu Gaoxu glared at him fiercely, and rode away without looking back. The generals of the pro-soldiers looked at each other, so they had to follow His Royal Highness the King of Han back.

In the blink of an eye, calm was restored in front of the Hongwu Gate, and only Wang Tie and the others, whose faces were full of panic, looked at His Royal Highness Taisun on the city gate with anxiety.

I saw Zhu Zhanji's face as pale as iron, and his eyes burst out with murderous intent!
