The Eight Winds of Rebirth

As soon as Eunuch Sun left, another young eunuch sprinted into the hall and presented a letter to Emperor Zongzheng with shaking hands.

Emperor Zongzheng was so dazed that he forgot to pick it up, but Qu Guang quickly took the letter and handed it over: "It's a secret report from a few counties in the east."

This thing has been given away every other month in recent years, and it was all about the disaster in Dongxian County. Emperor Zongzheng didn't have the heart to see it right now, so he waved his hand and said, "Tear it down."

Qu Guang opened the letter, but after a cursory look, he suddenly turned pale with shock.

"Your Majesty..." Qu Guang said as if his throat was blocked, "This is an urgent report sent from Bufang County last night. The 30 Yulin Army in Dong County has also rebelled, and they are pulling out their camps and heading south to the capital!" In other words, even if the imperial army blocked the imperial army at this moment, within a few days, the Habayashi army from Dongxian County would capture the imperial city, and their lives would be in danger...

Emperor Zongzheng stood up straight, stunned for a while before saying quietly: "Call back all the Shenwu troops stationed at the border, call them back quickly!!"

No, how could I die, how could I die!How many years has he been on the throne?Is it going to be all in vain overnight?After so many years of chasing each other and exhausting all our efforts, in the end there is still nothing left?No, it must not be like this!

Qu Guang knew that it would be useless to call back the Shenwu Army at this moment, not to mention the remoteness of the frontier, how could it catch up with the speed of Dong County flying south at the moment, and even though the Southern barbarians stayed away for a while, the centipedes were dead but not stiff. Withdrawing all the defense lines in the southwest and southwest of Daye at this moment is tantamount to opening the country's gates wide open to lure wolves into the house, but he has no other way. If they only rely on the imperial army at this moment, they have only one way to die.

But just as he made up his mind on this side, there was another little eunuch tumbling down in front of him, weeping with a broken mind: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Commander Chen Xi broke through the defense of the imperial army and chased after him all the way." Seeing that General Cao has already passed Qiankun Palace, he is about to go to Ziwei Palace!"

At that moment, Emperor Zongzheng felt his heart tremble, and he stepped down from the throne in disbelief, grabbed the little eunuch on the ground and said fiercely: "How is it possible?! Major General Bing is not so vulnerable!" Cao Qin has been mediating hostilities with the Southern Barbarians for so many years, and he has become famous all over the world, but it has only been more than an hour, and he has already been unable to stop the forbidden army? !

Thinking of this, Emperor Zongzheng was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand in a trance, various expressions such as surprise, resentment, regret, and hatred surged on his face for a while, and finally all turned into fear and timidity.

"Cao, Cao Qin... You, you actually rebelled with the rebel... Rebelled!!?"

Listening to Emperor Zongzheng's words that were like weeping blood, both Qu Guang and Zhong Xuliang turned pale.

The general of Yuguo turned against him? !

Emperor Zongzheng walked back and forth in the hall as if he had lost his mind: "Prince, prince...you all go find the prince for me, I won't be defeated so easily, even if I don't rely on Cao Qin, Zhao Yuan, or Hou Bingchen, those good sons who don’t rely on Zhao Mi, I will not lose easily! Whoever dares to rebel, I will cut off his head! Cut off his head! You are the same! Hurry up and find the prince!"

Seeing Emperor Zongzheng's chaotic and delirious appearance, some servants in the palace were frightened and ran out to find the prince in a hurry, while others hid behind the pillars and waited quietly, shaking like sifting chaff. But people like Zhong Xuliang, Qu Guang and the others looked at each other for a moment, and all sneaked out from the side door. They all knew that at this time, there was probably no place in the whole palace more dangerous than the place Zhao You and Zhao Mian were in. up.

The army outside entered the palace just after passing the Qiankun Palace, but they saw that Cao Qin did not go towards Ziwei Palace, but instead led people to fly towards Chengfeng Palace where the prince was. The sky and the earth in the entire palace changed color and became chaotic.

Outside the door, Cao Qinhu pulled his horse to a sudden stop, looked back at Chen Xi who was already confused and said, "Why, the person you are looking for is inside, is the commander timid? How can Ban Ke explain to the Three Kings well?"

Chen Xi's heart turned sharply. Even though he really couldn't figure out Cao Qin's thoughts, he still knew that there was no such good thing in the sky. How could the faction of the great prince be united with him in the same hatred?It's just a treacherous plan by Cao Qin, just looking at the chaos in the Prince's Mansion, and at the same time, some soldiers arrested Eunuch Sun who was sneaking around outside the mansion. It can be seen that Zhao Mian is indeed still inside, and it is too late Fleeing, Cao Qin didn't want to collude with Emperor Zongzheng to set him up, because Chen Xi knew that the emperor and the crown prince didn't have the guts to go all out like this.

However, how could Chen Xi let go of such a good opportunity easily? If he could take Zhao Mian's head with his own hands, the three kings would definitely praise him greatly. Perhaps the credit will rank ahead of Luan Yu and Xing Xinghu.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi's eyes showed a fierce look, and he waved to the soldiers beside him: "Go in and catch Zhao Mian, it's best if you can catch him alive, if you really can't take it, then kill him."

The soldiers obeyed the order and entered Chengfeng Palace, while Chen Xi himself slowly approached Cao Qin in front of him: "General Cao doesn't think that he can escape this disaster by leading the prince to Chen, right? Hahahaha, Cao Qin The general thinks so beautifully."

Unexpectedly, he just finished laughing, but he saw that the opposite Cao Qin also had a smile on his face, smiling freely and fearlessly as usual, looking up at the bright moon in the sky while laughing.

"It's a pity that such a good day..." Cao Qin said in a nasty voice.

As soon as he said this, he suddenly raised the green dragon halberd in his hand, and the bright white moonlight fell on the halberd, shining a dazzling silver light. There was a roaring sound, there were horseshoes stamping on the ground and armor clashing, it was obvious that tens of thousands of troops were marching to this place.

Chen Xi's face froze, but after a while he managed to force a smile: "Humph, it really is a trap, General Cao has already ambushed his troops into the palace? But even so, do you think you can get away? The prince can too!" Got away?"

Cao Qin smiled indifferently, and turned the halberd in his hand like a feather: "Since I invited Commander Chen into the palace, I have to pay a price. The prince's fate is Cao The big gift I invited was originally for you, as for mine...it depends on whether you have the ability to take it."

Chen Xi couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, he actually abandoned the crown prince, what about Emperor Zongzheng?Cao Qin actually has the heart of rebellion?If he didn't care about the lives of the two father and son, this battle would be difficult...

Just as he was thinking, the imperial army had already attacked them from the front, back, left, and right sides. Cao Qin used himself and the emperor's prince as bait to lure them into the palace. Now Chen Xi's tens of thousands of troops were already surrounded by the imperial army.

Looking at Chen Cai, the deputy commander of the forbidden army who was leading all the troops riding on the tall horse, although the two sides were almost the same, Chen Xi still felt a faint sweat on his back...

Luan Yu led [-] cavalrymen all the way south from Xiaoliu, passed through Jiwan, arrived at Bufang, and then passed through Mosong. Seeing that he arrived at Mianyu County and traveled two more counties before arriving in Beijing, he encountered an enemy at the end of the Lianhe River. A group of horses intercepted.

Luan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the man on horseback in silver-white armor across the river bank.

"Imperial Army? Forbidden Army? Heh, this time the news of Emperor Zongzheng is quite fast."

But when the other party raised the long sword in his hand and led all the troops across the river to attack, the expression on Luan Yu's face began to change.

The person in front of him is tall and straight, even though most of his face is covered by the helmet, but the pair of eyebrows and eyes exposed are still radiant and looking forward, and the bright red tear mole at the corner of the eye makes the whole face look coquettish An extremely murderous spirit.

"Sixth Prince Zhao Yuan?" Luan Yu couldn't help blurting out, as far as he knew, there was only one man in the world with such an alluring appearance.

But isn't Zhao Yuan in Chenzhou?Why did you come here?Recently, I haven't heard from the capital about the return of the Shenwu Army's squadron. Could it be that he came back quietly?

Luan Yu's mind suddenly changed.

And when he frowned and pondered, Zhao Yuan had already rushed to the front, one person and one rider as fast as a stream of light, and the Jiyue Sword in his hand flashed a cold sword intent, beheading everyone who was close to him under the horse. There is no living thing within three steps between raising the knife and falling.

The turbulent smell of blood aroused the restless bloodlust in Luan Yu's heart. He bent his eyes in enjoyment, looked at the pile of corpses lying under his feet, snorted and pulled out the long sword behind his back.

His sword was not as silvery as Jiyue's, but instead had a deep purple-black color, as if it had been filled with endless blood and strong resentment, humming a cold tone.

Luan Yu's pale and handsome face glowed with anticipation, but those hanging eyes became more and more dark and cruel.

"Sixth son, Luan has always wanted to compete with you, and now I am overjoyed to have this opportunity. Let me think about it, what should I bet on? Well, if someone loses...then take the other party's head How about going home?"

However, as soon as Luan Yu finished speaking, Zhao Yuan's sword came in front of him. Thanks to Luan Yu's quick reaction, he dodged back and barely avoided the attacking sword edge, but he still accidentally cut off two tufts of hair .

Luan Yu grabbed his hand and cut off his hair, the smile on his face faded away, the corners of his mouth twitched, showing a ferocious expression, he was no longer interested in joking, and directly swung his sword towards Zhao Yuan.

The two main generals fought close to each other, and the soldiers on both sides had already fought together.

In order to catch up with the time, Zhao Yuan didn't bring many troops, only two thousand light cavalry, and such a small number of people faced Luan Yu's 3 people with an egg and a stone, so Luan Yu was not in a hurry, and only wanted to fight Zhao Yuan well. Yidou, he has always loved beautiful things the most, and it would be best if he could slowly peel off the skin of the sixth prince, who is as beautiful as an exiled immortal, and take it back to the mansion for collection. Thinking of this, Luan Yu felt excited, How gratifying and satisfying that must be.

So Luan Yu didn't attack hard at the beginning, but he didn't dare to take it lightly. After all, he had heard a lot about Zhao Yuan's achievements in Chenzhou over the years, and he had heard the Three Kings talk about Hu Tiandong, General Yulin at that time. dead face.At that time, the three kings chased and killed Hou Bingchen all the way to the suburbs, so it was impossible for Hu Tiandong to be killed by Hou Bingchen, so who else in the court could easily send General Yubayashi to hell?At that time, the three kings didn't think it through for a while, but Luan Yu realized that Cao Qin was not in the capital, and the only possibility... was the person in front of him.

Now that the two of them had gone through dozens of moves, Luan Yu felt that he must have guessed right. Zhao Yuan's sword style was very similar to his own, both of which were good at speed, but Zhao Yuan's figure was lighter and faster, relatively The power was weakened, and as far as Luan Yu saw it, the two fought against each other, but he still had the upper hand.

But Zhao Yuan is indeed a good opponent, at least the only person Luan Yu has met in these years who can make two moves against him, so it is a pity that he was killed like this.

While pondering, Luan Yu urged the long sword in his hand to block from left to right with all his strength, and the two silver blades flashed across the night sky, shining like stars.

Zhao Yuan, on the other hand, kept a cold face from the beginning to the end, every move was neither fast nor slow, even though the number of people on his side gradually decreased with time, there was still no trace of panic in him.

On the contrary, Luan Yu saw fine sweat on his head, but Zhao Yuan still breathed calmly, and Luan Yu became a little irritable.

"The scorpion shakes the tree and seeks its own death... Do you know that all of your soldiers will be buried here before dawn?" Luan Yu shouted.

Zhao Yuan raised her eyebrows, firmly resisted Luan Yu's chest attack, and said flatly, "Then you can try."

Luan Yu frowned, turned his long sword, and slashed at Zhao Yuan's lower body with his backhand, while Zhao Yuan used a dead tree beside him to jump up in the air with a pedal, and flipped lightly to the ground. Pointing directly at Luan Yu once.

Luan Yu was shocked suddenly.

This figure...why is it so familiar?

His memory suddenly drifted to the night when he was attacked in the camp a few days ago, and his heart suddenly turned cold.

"It's... you?!"
