Chapter 65 [Lu Si] Empress of the Oriole

"How is the situation in the capital?"

The convoy was galloping along the official road, and the three horses that were so tired that they were foaming at the mouth ran at the forefront.

Xie Chen rode on the horse, and never said a word.On the contrary, Sun Peng, who was concerned about the situation in the capital, asked Chen Yi immediately when he saw Chen Yi came back again.

Chen Yi pursed his dry lips, and didn't care to drink water: "There is a ban in the capital. Those who are officials in the capital are not allowed to leave the city. Even the common people have to go through the inspection of the soldiers guarding the gate."

"What about the palace?"

"I dare not enter the city. I am afraid that I will not be able to get out, so I have to inquire outside the city. It seems that things have been done in the palace."

"Third Highness...is it done?"

Sun Peng was shocked for a moment, the first horse had already been exhausted, its hooves slackened, and it led the man on the horse, fell to the ground directly, foaming at the mouth.

The moment Sun Peng landed on the ground, he subconsciously let go of the reins and rolled forward, so as not to fall to the ground and be crushed by the horse.Even so, half of his body was rubbed against the dust all over the floor, and the carriage that was frantically stopping behind him almost ran into it.

Chen Yi was also taken aback: "Qilang!"

"I'm fine." Sun Peng wiped his face, saw Xie Chen leaning over, immediately reached out to grab him, and sat on the horseback.

"The Third Highness took those 7000 people and just broke through the Forbidden Palace, forcing His Majesty to write an abdication edict?"

"I haven't heard that His Majesty has written an abdication edict. But I'm afraid it will only be a few days. Since the Third Highness dared to lead troops to force the palace, he should not give His Majesty too much time."

The more Chen Yi talks, the drier his mouth becomes.Pei Chu threw a water bag to him from the side, he took it and looked up and took a big gulp.

"Command, be careful of everything along the way these few days." Xie Chen said suddenly.

Sun Peng raised his head suddenly.

Xie Chen said: "Xie Yu dared to force the palace because he was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy. The emperor has not written the abdication edict so far, so he must be waiting for Gu. And Xie Yu will definitely not allow Gu to return to Beijing at this time."

Even if Xie Yu agreed, since Wang Youzhi and Queen Wang gave up Xie Zhang and used Xie Yu instead, they would never let him talk about "brotherhood".

He and Sun Peng are all too clear about the ambitions of the Wang family from the previous life to the present.

Pei Chu responded, turned his horse's head and ordered the people accompanying him.

Sitting behind Xie Chen, Sun Peng looked at the stormy sky and asked for a long time, "Human, is that enough?"

"Enough." The man's voice seemed so calm and stable no matter when and where.

"Thank you Yu, it won't work."

No matter how confused his father was, he would never be so confused as to abdicate for a puppet.

Getting closer and closer to the capital, the things encountered on the way began to increase day by day.

A series of things, such as assassination, poisoning, false request for help and then assassination, etc., began to happen around Sun Peng and others.

Before arriving in the capital, they finally ushered in a rare opportunity to rest.

"We will be able to arrive in the capital tomorrow." Pei Chuyou was given medicine by Sun Xian, endured the pain from the powder irritating the wound, and said to Sun Peng, "Please advise Your Highness, don't be impulsive."

"How to persuade?" Sun Peng checked the luggage on the horse's back, "My siblings tried everything to kill me, so why can't I give those people a warning, instead of giving in step by step?"

After their trip got closer to the capital, they began to disguise themselves as a convoy of ordinary wealthy families escorting their wives.Even so, he was still constantly being attacked by the troops sent by Xie Yu.

Afterwards, Sun Peng used a trick to catch the spies mixed in with the team, which made Xie Yu's actions less.

But even so, many people still died on the road.

Even Xie Chen and Pei Chu were more or less injured.

"Haven't you looked into His Highness's eyes?" Pei Chu bared his teeth in pain, "When you kill someone, it turns red, like a beast." Such a person who has been soaked in Buddhist scriptures all year round actually picked up a sword, raised the knife and dropped it. , never relentless, and even once killed red eyes, like a ferocious beast, which makes people awe-inspiring.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's mount is called Wangtianyan, Dizang Bodhisattva rides Diting, and Manjusri Bodhisattva is a green lion. These three are all beasts. Wangtianjiu can convey the will of heaven and the people's feelings, listen to and understand Buddhist principles, understand human nature, and avoid evil. Evil, the green lion deters the devil with its roar. Your highness is like a beast, but he has bodhi in his heart, but he just kills to stop killing."

While speaking, Sun Peng left Pei Chu, took the water bag and went to find Xie Chen who was talking to Chen Yi.The latter was wounded in his shoulders, so he took the medicine for the wounds, but he refused to relax for a moment.

Chen Yi's horse died on the road.That horse was the first horse he got after returning to vulgarity with Xie Chen. It was also a war horse. It traveled fast, but it was not a solid body after all. In the end, it died under the random arrows of a team of archers sent by Xie Yu. .

"After returning to Beijing, senior brother will find you another good horse." After giving orders, seeing that Chen Yi was still sad, Xie Chen couldn't help but sighed and comforted him.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm fine. I'm going back to Beijing!" Chen Yi glanced at Sun Peng who was approaching, "Brother, the matter of the Sun family..."

"I'll talk to him."

After Chen Yi finished speaking, he hurriedly rode on his horse and left, Sun Peng only took a step ahead as he had been ordered, and didn't care.

"Drink some water." Sun Peng held Xie Chen's extended hand instead, "We are less than a day away from the capital. I don't know if His Majesty can hold on."

Xie Chen raised his head to drink water: "If you can't hold on, you have to hold on. Otherwise, Da Chu will change his dynasty. With Wang You here, Xie Yu won't be the emperor for a few days."

Sun Peng nodded: "That's natural. Although the Wang family was defeated, as long as Wang Youzhi is still there, it will be a matter of time before they get up again, not to mention, Wang Youzhi has a son who is studying abroad. Let Xie Yu be a puppet, let him abdicate in the future to let the virtuous, and send that Wang family man to the throne of God..."

"The prince of the Wang family is now in the hands of Mrs. Sun." Xie Chen said suddenly, "On the day Xie Yu forced the palace, Mrs. Sun ordered someone to capture Wang Youzhi's beloved son from outside. In addition, before Wang Youzhi started the incident, he sent his family members They were secretly sent out of the capital, but now, they are all under the control of the Sun family."

Sun Peng was stunned.

"The Sun family is a straight minister, and what straight ministers are most afraid of is rebellious ministers and thieves. Wang Youzhi thinks that with Xie Yu, he can drive straight in and force his father to abdicate to make a worthy man. But there are also orioles behind the mantis and cicadas. Sun family, hold on His fate."

Sun Peng gasped.

He never thought that his grandfather would have such means.But this trick is not bad.It was like putting Wang Youzhi on the fire.

Xie Chen squinted his eyes: "Qilang, I need you to do something for me."

"What's the matter?" Sun Peng came back to his senses.

Xie Chen turned his head to look at the people who were still resting in place, and said calmly: "Take my warrant and send [-] troops to the outskirts of Beijing."

Sun Peng's eyes shrank suddenly.He knew that it was impossible for Xie Chen to have no soldiers in his hands during these years of management, but once this number of [-] soldiers was discovered, it would be considered treason by the extremely suspicious Emperor Xihe.

"Those [-] people are not only my soldiers, but also the forces of the Pei family who stayed in the capital area, as well as the 'prince sons' back then."

This "□□" refers to the officials of the East Palace who only looked after him when Xie Chen was the crown prince.After more than ten years of experience, these people have developed from civil to martial arts day by day, and have already become an indispensable force in the court. In their hands, they have gradually accumulated a large number of people who can be dispatched by Xie Chen .

These people, before rebirth, Xie Chen had always kept in touch.But at that time, he never thought of using them to do something.

Now, it's time for the hidden sword to show its sharpness.

*****

Xie Chen rushed to the front of the capital with his people, but was intercepted again.

It was a group of cavalry, who seemed to have been hiding in the woods on both sides of the official road outside the capital.When their convoy passed by, they heard the sound of arrows swishing, and instantly flew out of the woods on both sides.

"Go forward!" At the same time as Xie Chen gave the order, Pei Chu protected Sun Xian's carriage and rushed towards the city gate quickly.

Flying arrows pierced the carriage, and horses were hit by arrows from time to time, neighing and falling down.

Xie Chen raised his knife and knocked over a soldier who was rushing to him.Most of these people wore the guards of the Eastern Palace, but they were all the guards of the Eastern Palace who joined Xie Yu after Xie Zhang lost power.

Another horse galloped over, Xie Chen stood up and slashed, knocking the man off the horse.A tall soldier followed closely behind, and the two swords clashed, sparks splashed with a "ding".

"Yang Wei?"

Xie Chen recognized the identity of the person at a glance.As the commander of the Eastern Palace's personal guards, Yang Wei's appearance further confirmed the identities of these cavalrymen.

"Once Xie Zhang falls, you will become Wang Youzhi's eagle dogs?"

Yang Wei roared, raised his knife and slashed towards Xie Chen.

"If you don't want to be an eagle dog, do you want to follow an abolished prince? A person who knows the current affairs is a gentleman. I am not like His Highness, who still wants to go back to the palace in this situation today. It is better to die obediently. Maybe the Third Highness will return to the palace." For the sake of seeing brothers in the past, I will leave you with a dead body."

"Heh," Xie Chen chuckled, "Who left the whole body for whom?"

"what……"

Before Yang Wei could ask back, a falcon screamed high in the sky.He suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind. The sound of the horseshoes wrapped in the cold autumn wind seemed to shake mountains and rivers.

He looked back, and there was a young man wearing brocade clothes, riding on the back of a jet-black war horse, icy arrow feathers caught the cold wind, while the horse's hooves were trampling, they came suddenly, impartially, and shot into his eye sockets.

That was the young man he once wanted to tease under him, but now he has become the ghost who took his life.

The next moment, the cold knife and ax slashed at the back of Yang Wei's neck.

Bright red blood splashed violently from the severed head's neck.The falling head was kicked away by the mount of Donggong's personal guard who was flying by, and there was no time to dodge it, and blood streaked across a long trace.

Some blood fell on the side of the boy's face.

Behind him are those thousands of soldiers who obeyed orders and expressed gratitude.

The gate of the city has already been opened in a surrendered manner, ready to welcome them to drive straight in and capture the traitors.
