Seduction

"This, this, no, miss, it's too dangerous outside now." The young man picked up the key and was at a loss.

"What are you afraid of? If you really hit the Taiwei's Mansion, you can still go around this house. Let me go out."

The young man lowered his head, he didn't know what else he could do other than repeatedly saying "dangerous", his ears softened, he couldn't hear Zhang Xirao begging him, but if Zhang Xirao really wanted to come out, would he be able to protect him? . , He knew that he could do nothing but hold the key tightly in his hand.

Zhang Xirao patted the door eagerly, urging the young man.

In her heart, her former father was not like this.When I was young, my family of three often went to Luohua Temple. Luohua Temple is the most famous temple in the whole capital. Both locals and tourists would come here to burn incense and worship Buddha for peace.

But Zhang Xirao didn't want to go in, so she just stood at the door and waited, because the Maitreya Buddha at the door was smiling, but the Bodhisattva who turned around had a straight face. Zhang Xirao was very scared, so her mother knelt down and held her hand.

"Aren't the Four Heavenly Kings more fierce? Why isn't Xiao Xiluo afraid?" Mother asked with a smile.

Zhang Xirao pouted, "Father told me that the four heavenly kings mean good weather, and I'm not afraid." Mother smiled, and turned to look at Zhang Jiyao who was standing by, "Can you please tell me the story of the Bodhisattva again?"

When Zhang Jiyao heard the call, he also smiled, squatted down, held his wife in one hand, and put his arm around Zhang Xirao in the other, "All right, tell me everything," he said.

Zhang Xirao recalled that his father should have been like this, instead of gathering with a group of aristocratic families and disregarding human life.

With a "bang", the lock fell to the ground. Zhang Xirao and the young man faced each other again after many days. The young man's frowning and embarrassing expression was a bit funny, but Zhang Xirao couldn't laugh at all.

"Miss, it's better not to ask..." the young man said.

"My father is a good official, and a good official should be aboveboard. Are you afraid that I will ask you a few words? Don't worry, I will be fine." Zhang Xirao said.He ran sideways from the young man, leaving only a faint scent of lily.

Wu Zheng went out from the prison, the imperial city was very quiet in the morning, but now it is in chaos, the emperor and the Taoist priest are practicing in seclusion, no one is seen, the three circles around the training ground are full of soldiers.Wu Zheng already knew what his father was doing, and knew that it would be useless to spend too much, so he turned his head and joined Chen Jiang.

Chen Jiang's elite soldiers returned to the palace as quickly as possible. The situation changed suddenly. The sun, which was dazzling just now, was swallowed up by dark clouds before they knew it. The dark army surrounded the palace tightly.

"Prince, the future is late." Chen Jiang clasped his fists when he saw Wu Zheng.

"Not too late." Wu Zheng waved his hand and welcomed Chen Jiang into the prince's mansion, "Why did the barbarian army break through all the way to the imperial city before we received the news. It's only been a few days since Kong Fu brought the army back."

"Based on the time when they came here from the northwest, the barbarians and Kong Fuyi should have seamlessly handed over. They should have gone to the northeast when Kong Fuyi withdrew and merged one by one, and they came in immediately. Military division Zhan guessed right in the morning. , came in from the northeast." Chen Jiang said.

"How did they hide until now? There was no burning, killing or looting along the way, and we haven't received any news." Wu Zheng was puzzled.

"I know." Chen Jiang suddenly remembered, and said, "Boss Gu wrote me a letter two days ago, saying that his business route in Dongying was taken over by someone, and the rice he shipped came to the northeast of Yuezhu. Have I arranged for troops to be there?"

"Dongying? Zhang Jiyao has been transporting food from Dongying to the barbarian army in order not to let us find out. What does he mean? The goal is the imperial city? He wants to swallow us in one fell swoop."

"I guess so." Wu Zheng nodded.

"However, if you really want to come from Dongpu, you have to cross the sea twice, and the loss and cost during this period are too great." Chen Jiang was puzzled.

Wuzheng was mentioned by Chen Jiang, and he thought it made sense, but then he thought of the case he and Zhan Xingruo had been investigating before, and felt that it was not impossible.

"More than ten years ago, Zhang Jiyao began to draw Yuezhu's silver military pay. The amount was not large but it has not stopped for ten years. If he has been saving that money, it is not impossible to transport food from Dongying to supply the army."

"This, this, he's been plotting for so long?" Chen Jiang clenched his fists nervously, "That said, Zhang Jiyao is bound to win this battle."

"You can say that." Wu Zheng nodded. It's not that he didn't panic, but he didn't know what to do. The old emperor couldn't see anyone in seclusion, and the imperial guards couldn't move. How could Chen Jiang survive in all directions of the capital? .A bead of sweat fell from Wuzheng's forehead.

Suddenly, the guards outside the door rushed over.

"Report to the prince! There are people outside the door begging to see you!"

"See me at this time, who is it?"

"I don't know the little one. He wears a mask, and he won't get off his horse even if he is asked to dismount, and he still holds a gun in his hand." The guard said.

Wu Zheng met Chen Jiang's eyes, and immediately thought of the same person, so they hurried out together.

Gu Qing was dressed in silver armor, blending with the chaotic clouds in the sky, the black horse stomped its hooves, Gu Qing lowered her head, and pushed the ghost face up.

"His Royal Highness, long time no see."

"Gu, Gu Chengyuan, why are you here?" Wu Zheng asked.

Gu Qing jumped off the horse and handed the reins to the guards, "Why can't I come?" She said as she entered the Prince's Mansion.

Chen Jiang was taken aback. This silver armor reminded him unconsciously of when he was still in the Northwest more than ten years ago.He took the reins of Gu Qing's horse from the little guard, saw Gu Qing's back, couldn't help thinking of Cheng Feng Hou, and he was stunned for two seconds before following him again.

"Where is the military advisor?" Gu Qing asked directly as soon as she entered the Prince's Mansion.

"What does it have to do with you." Wu Zheng said bluntly, Gu Qing suddenly stopped, turned his head, and frowned, "Let me see him." He said.

"No." Wu Zheng walked past Gu Qing, "It's the time of war, and he still has important work to do, so don't disturb him."

"What do you mean?" Gu Qing caught up with Wu Zheng in two steps and grabbed Wu Zheng, "Tell me where he is now? Is he in danger?" Gu Qing asked, Wu Zheng couldn't tell him what he had said, and he closed his eyes Closing his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Ah Li told me not to tell you, so don't make things difficult for me."

After Wu Zheng finished speaking, he shook off Gu Qing's hand.

"What did he do?" Gu Qing wanted to ask Wu Zheng, but Chen Jiang grabbed his wrist, "Boss Gu, calm down." Chen Jiang said, "The current situation is special. It doesn't matter to him. If you make trouble for him again, it will be even more messy."

Only then did Gu Qing slowly send Wu Zheng away.

"Report to the general! The barbarian army has broken through the outer city and is coming this way!" A guard ran in and said,

The three of them talked a few words, and the news from the front came frequently.

"Zhang Jiyao has already started to act." Chen Jiang said, "To defend the imperial city, we must fight immediately."

"I understand." Gu Qing stood up, holding onto Mo Yan, "I'll meet Zhang Jiyao, General Chen guards the east gate, don't let his reinforcements come over."

"Okay." Chen Jiang also stood up, and was about to put on his armor to go into battle, but suddenly thought something was wrong. He wondered if Kong Fuyi's army left outside the western city had come in. It's not easy to fight.

"The west can't leave a gap. We are like this, so it is easy to be ambushed. Now the barbarian army has surrounded the periphery of the imperial city. I don't know where they will start their attack." Chen Jiang said.

"Since Zhang Jiyao has attacked the imperial city, the target must be the dragon chair. Breaking through the main gate is the fastest way, so it must be heavily guarded."

"It's just that there are too many soldiers and few generals now, and it's difficult to defend all four gates. If one is broken, the whole game will be lost." Chen Jiang said, "And compared with the barbarians, the number of our people is insignificant." The atmosphere became solemn in an instant.

At this time, someone knocked on the door of the living room of the Prince's Mansion suddenly, and everyone turned their heads, only to see Piao Yao panting slightly.

"I, I can guard the west gate."

"Pian Yao, why are you here?" Gu Qing was startled.

"Master Gu, don't worry, Wang Yao is safe. I also want to be someone who can protect him..." Piao Yao whispered.

Wu Zheng looked at Piao Yao, and didn't know how he got in. Could it be that the guards let him in when they saw his face, but no matter how friendly the red eyes were, they still wanted to let him know.

Wu Zheng thought he was a pharmacist following Gu Qing, but now it seems that he has to re-examine.

"General Chen, please assign me an army, and I will guard Ximen." Piao Yao said.

Chen Jiang nodded, "Leave immediately."

"Then I'll go to the back door!" Wu Zheng also stood up.

"No." Gu Qing said, "there is a moat at the back gate of the imperial city, and the barbarians are not good at water. Generally, they will not fight across the river unless they are forced to. Prince, you should stay in the emperor's house."

"What is this?" Wu Zheng stood up angrily, and slapped Yi Zhang on the table.

"You can't die." Gu Qing grabbed Wu Zheng's collar, his armored fingers were exceptionally strong, and Wu Zheng could feel the chill from Gu Qing's body when he got close to him, "You still have to clean up the mess of your family." " He said, "You have promised the military advisor something before, and you must keep your word. Keep the throne, and we will fight the war." Gu Qing said, let go of Wu Zheng, and Chen Jiang and the two men straightened their armor, got on their horses and left After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Liu Wuzheng sat on the chair in a daze.

Wuzheng took a deep breath.

The heavy rain finally came down, and the rain roared, washing away the filthy imperial city, and the black people's heads gathered together, forming one with the billowing dark clouds.

This day has finally arrived.

The promenade of Taiwei's mansion unexpectedly twists and turns. Zhang Xirao quickly walked through the promenade against the falling rain, and ran towards Zhang Jiyao's room, only to see that Zhang Jiyao had already put on his armor, which he had never seen before. Passing through the armored father, he was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Zhang Jiyao turned around and saw her, and immediately frowned, "Why did you come out!" He shouted.

Zhang Xirao was not afraid this time, but yelled and asked, "What the hell is father going to do! Why didn't you tell me!"

"You don't have to ask more about your lord's affairs," Zhang Jiyao said.

"Father, are you lying to me?" Zhang Xirao choked up.

Zhang Jiyao stopped what he was doing and turned to look at his daughter.

"Father didn't lie to you."

"You kill people and release the barbarians. Why do you do this?" Zhang Xirao asked word by word.
