Liaozhai Great Sage

"Hitting an egg against a rock?" Li Xiuyuan showed a smile; "Cui Wei, you think highly of the garrison in the capital too much. Be on guard. I have been around the capital since I entered the capital. Do you think I don't know? The total number of defenders in the city is less than one thousand, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled without any combat power. My two thousand elite soldiers are fierce soldiers who were killed in the battle of Jiushan King in the south."

"With this little force, under my leadership, I can go back and forth eight times across the capital. As for the 80 imperial troops? Sorry, my father-in-law is the Minister of the Ministry of War. He told me when he was in Jinling City that the imperial army number 80 80, but there are actually less than [-] people who can fight, I don't think my father-in-law would lie to me at that time, so I dare to believe that the [-] forbidden troops are nothing but fiction."

"Five thousand infantry versus two thousand fine cavalry? Do you think I will be afraid? Don't forget, last year outside Jinling City, I dared to charge [-] cavalry against the formation of more than [-] rebels."

Cui Wei's heart shuddered, and a cold sweat broke out behind Li Xiuyuan's words.

"Li, Master Li, you, you wouldn't have arranged all of this long ago, right?" He also knew that if it was true what Li Xiuyuan said, he could take down this capital by himself.

Is this what Mr. Yan said about being loyal and traitorous?

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "I just like to keep my hands on things. If I am murdered in the capital, two thousand fine riders can take me out of the capital. I know that this time I went north to Beijing with the awareness that I must die, and I didn't come here to visit the mountains and rivers."

"It's just that the court has arrested Fu Tianchou, my unmarried wife, and Fu Yuechi. I can only let the cavalry come to rescue them."

"What if the court doesn't let him go?" Cui Wei asked with some fear.

Li Xiuyuan supported Tai'a sword and said calmly: "Shoot into the palace, Qing Jun's side."

Everyone trembled in their hearts, and looked at Li Xiuyuan in surprise, but then Yan Chixia laughed loudly and said: "Okay, you are so courageous, this is the nature you should have as a scholar, it is really worth it for me to stay, Those corrupt officials know how to mess around in the court, I think it’s okay to break into the palace today and kill those dogs, and I don’t want to see how the world has been ruled by them.”

Xia Houwu also became a little excited. If it doesn't work out today, the dynasty will change. If Mr. Li becomes the throne, he will be able to become a general, prince, and honor his ancestors.

Cui Wei felt his hands and feet were cold at the moment. Sure enough, this Li Xiuyuan had huge ambitions, not just protecting himself.

Chapter 763 Waiting

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan was wearing armor, a golden-red cloak, a sword hanging from his waist, and riding a dragon horse, leading his subordinates to Ruyifang.

Followed by Yan Chixia, Xia Houwu, Wu Xiang and other people with high martial arts skills, followed by his twenty personal soldiers, and the bodyguards of the Shunfeng Bodyguard Bureau.

There are not many people, and they add up to less than a hundred people.

He didn't take any of the yamen servants of those yamen and the arresters of the six gates.

At this time, you can't rely on those you can't trust, you must use people you can trust.

Cui Wei also lowered his head and looked down while riding a horse, looking a little nervous and lost.

Li Xiuyuan didn't let him go for the time being, because the plan had just started, and his cavalry hadn't arrived yet, so Cui Wei couldn't let things go badly, so he had to stay for a few hours, and it was up to him whether to go or stay at that time up.

On the way, he suddenly said, "Xia Houwu, can you do me a favor?"

"Young Master Li has just ordered it." Xia Houwu's body and mind were hot at the moment, and he was now full of thoughts about his future appointment as a marquis and general.

Li Xiuyuan said: "The cavalry entered the capital from the south of the city, so I trouble you to go to the south of the city and make sure that the gate in the south of the city will not be closed. Although there are not many people guarding the city, if the gate is closed, we will The cavalry has no ability to break the door and can only be rejected. I don't want this accident to happen, so I can only rely on your ability. If everything goes well, you can come to Ruyifang with the Shajin cavalry. If it doesn't go well, cut it for me The defenders who closed the city gate."

"Mr. Li, don't worry, I will definitely be able to enter the capital with me in the cavalry." Xia Houwu smiled excitedly, and immediately clasped his fists to obey, then turned around and left on horseback.

He is also a frequent visitor to the capital. He knows how many defenders there are in the capital and how many abilities they have.

This job is not too easy for him.

Li Xiuyuan was thinking while riding a horse, mainly checking for gaps and making up for omissions, so that his plans and arrangements had the fewest loopholes, and did not give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of.

Suddenly, he thought of something again, and said, "Someone, does anyone know the residence of the third prince Zhao Jing?"

"Eldest young master, I know you young." An escort said with his fists clasped.

"Okay. I have something for you to do. Send a message to the third prince Zhao Jing for me, saying that I will make a picture of a real dragon in Ruyifang, and ask him if he would like to come and admire it." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, young master." The bodyguard responded and prepared to leave.

Li Xiuyuan said again: "Don't be in a hurry, send the letter after about an hour, so as not to affect my arrangement too early."

"An hour? I remember." The bodyguard nodded before leaving.

"Master Li, why do you need to inform the Third Prince about this matter? Could it be that Master Li wants to use the Third Prince as a hostage?" Cui Wei, who was on the side, said with a suppressed voice.

Li Xiuyuan smiled: "It's just to save a hand to deal with the aftermath. You don't need to be nervous. Anyway, everything today will have a result."

Cui Wei remained silent.

He is not Li Xiuyuan, so he doesn't know what this Lord Li is arranging, but he vaguely feels that everything this Lord Li does is very methodical, orderly, and easy to advance and retreat, judging from the confidence revealed by him , the chance of success is great... Soon, everyone came to Ruyifang.

The current Ruyifang is no longer under the control of Wutongjiao. The last time Li Xiuyuan surrounded Ruyifang, he killed Shihu and at the same time hit Wutongjiao’s forces to a certain extent. Sixteen female ghosts were sent down to sneak into Ruyifang.

Now, under his coercion, Wutongjiao has given up control of Ruyifang.

Now, the sixteen female ghosts who have resurrected their bodies are the masters of Ruyifang.

As soon as the talent arrived, there were sixteen beautiful women standing at the gate of Ruyifang, some were gorgeous, some were charming, some were quiet. They had different expressions and temperaments, but all of them were one-in-a-million beauties.

These are the popular ladies and gentlemen of Ruyifang.

"My family pays homage to Master Li." The leading woman is Lian Xiang, she smiled sweetly and bowed gracefully, both respectful and charming.

The other women behind him also saluted one after another.

Li Xiuyuan got off his horse and said, "You don't need to be too polite, just follow me into Ruyifang."

Without hesitation, he led everyone in with great strides.

"Is Ruyifang in your charge now?" Li Xiuyuan asked Lianxiang beside him while walking.

Lianxiang smiled softly: "Don't dare to live up to your lord's entrustment, now all the people from the Wutong sect in Ruyifang have been driven away, and more than a dozen sisters have firmly controlled Ruyifang, even the officials of the official square have to Listen to our orders, but the servants dare not take credit for it, it's all because of the majesty of the adults. Otherwise, things couldn't have gone so smoothly."

"Very well, something will happen today. You have to close the door to thank the guests in Ruyifang today, and send away as much as possible. The guests in the workshop, maids, servants, and even girls are all allowed to temporarily leave. To leave, it's best not to stay except for the sixteen of you." Li Xiuyuan said.

Lian Xiang was stunned for a moment, then said: "Sir, did the servants send them all away, or give them a day off temporarily? It would be difficult if they were all sent away for a while."

"Give them a day off temporarily, there is no need to dismiss them." Li Xiuyuan said: "Of course, if the women who are willing to leave Ruyifang can dismiss them, they should try to dismiss them as much as possible. It is considered a good deed."

"My family understands." Lianxiang gave a glance after finishing speaking; "Lianyue, I leave this matter to you, don't let your lord down."

A beautiful woman immediately said: "I will try my best to finish it, please rest assured, my lord."

After speaking, she took a few sisters and left.

They are all female ghosts who have suffered in the underworld. How dare they make a mistake when they return to the underworld with their corpses, and they don't even look at who they are loyal to now.

When Li Xiuyuan brought everyone to Ruyifang, in addition to ordering Ru Lianxiang to dismiss the irrelevant people, he also arranged for people to guard the entrances of Ruyifang, close the doors and windows, and prevent anyone from entering.

"Master Li, why would you risk your life? Now, Master Li, you still have time to leave, so why bother to resist to the end." Seeing Li Xiuyuan's constant arrangements, Cui Wei couldn't help but persuade him again.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Cui Wei, do you still want to persuade me to turn back at this time? I understand your loyalty to the court, so I don't think you are bored or dull. It's just that everyone's path is different. The way to go has been decided, and then I invite you to sit aside and drink quietly, I wonder which girl is willing to drink with Cui Wei?"

"Hehe, how dare you disobey my lord's instructions, and I will go drink with Mr. Cui at the bar." A seemingly weak woman walked over with a delicate smile, her eyes carried a bit of cold meaning, and she looked at him with a smile. Looking at Cui Wei on the side.
