Mrs. Rebirth

After drinking a lot in the evening, Zuo Shaoqing felt suffocated after doing it for a while, so he found a young servant to lead the way. The Peony Garden is located at the back of Jiangfu, some distance from the hut.

The young servant at the front led the way with a lantern, bowed his waist slightly, and his attitude became extremely respectful after seeing that the master's servant dared to kick and beat the court ministers casually.

I think he is just a servant of the Jiang family, if he offends this master, he will be crushed to death like an ant, and judging from the situation just now, the Jiang Zuo family is about to become in-laws.

Because the hut was a little far away, he was afraid that Third Master Zuo would not be able to hold back, so he chose a convenient path to walk, and after walking for a while, there was a little noise from the flower gardens on both sides of the path.

The boy thought it was the pair of wild mandarin ducks having a tryst in the middle of the night again, so he didn't care, but he heard the tall man shouting: "Who's there? Come out!"

Yinyi immediately pulled Zuo Shaoqing behind him, staring vigilantly at a part of the flower garden, Zuo Shaoqing didn't dare to be careless, and secretly put on his belt.

It was the most suitable weapon that Lu Zheng mentioned before. When Zuo Shaoqing first got it, he didn't even know what it was. It was thin and soft, but extremely sharp.

Later, after a demonstration by Lu Zheng, he realized that it was a soft sword. Lu Zheng was careful and asked people to make special girdles of various colors, which happened to be able to hide the soft sword in the girdle.

Seeing the appearance of these two masters as if they were facing a formidable enemy, the young fellow secretly laughed in his heart, and said to the flower garden: "Whoever is in there, hurry up and make amends to the two masters!"

There were a few more rustling sounds in the flowerbed, and then two figures really stumbled out.

It's just... When Zuo Shaoqing saw the faces of those two clearly, he coughed unnaturally.

There was no other reason. It turned out that there were two men hiding here, and seeing the messy clothes of the two, it was obvious that they were doing something shameful.

Although the young man wondered why he had never seen these two servants, he was stimulated by the fact that the two men were getting together, so he didn't think about it for a while.

There is a masculine young master in Jiangfu, so he is more accepting of this kind of thing. The servant just taught the two of them a few words: "Don't you hurry up and apologize to the two masters? You can afford to offend a distinguished guest." ?"

The two men walked over with their heads down, bent their backs, and looked like they were about to kneel down, but just when the three of them relaxed their vigilance, the two suddenly jumped up, shaking out a sharp sword from their sleeves, He stabbed straight towards Zuo Shaoqing's position.

Zuo Shaoqing stood behind Yinyi, the first attack was successfully resolved by Yinyi, but the two swords also separated him from Yinyi.

Seeing the skills and eyes of the two men, Zuo Shaoqing knew that they were not good enemies, so he quickly drew out his soft sword to meet the enemy.

"Ouchi bodyguard?" Yin Yi's expression sank completely. He is Lu Zheng's confidant, so he naturally knew that the Fourth Prince had changed something, but he couldn't be sure that these two were sent by the Fourth Prince.

Yin Yi's kung fu was obviously much higher than that of the assassins, and he quickly gained the upper hand. Although Zuo Shaoqing was not as good as him, he was still able to protect himself, and he was fighting hard against one of the assassins.

However, just when Yin Yi was about to win, several cold lights flashed across the flower beds on both sides at the same time, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen big men in black came out.

Not daring to be careless, Yin Yi slapped the assassin's chest heavily, grabbed the sword in his hand, and moved closer to Zuo Shaoqing.

The two stood back to back, confronting a dozen men in black with solemn expressions.

The servant of Jiangfu was stunned by this series of events, and it took him a long time to raise his voice and yell loudly: "Come here..."

A soft sword slashed across his neck, and his screaming was stopped in an instant. The boy's body twitched a few times, and then fell to the ground without a sound.

Zuo Shaoqing frowned, "I don't know who you are here for? Should we be made to be sensible ghosts before we die?"

"It's only your fault for offending someone who shouldn't be offended!" A man in black replied in a deep voice, and then made a gesture, and half of the men in black immediately surrounded Zuo Shaoqing and Yin Yi.

The other half of the men in black obviously didn't obey his orders, but waited for another leader-like man to give an order before moving.

"Third Master, my subordinates stopped them, you ran back and forth, the Jiang family dare not let you have an accident in Jiangfu." Yin raised his sword and attacked first as soon as he finished speaking.

The sharp sword pulled out a bunch of sword flowers with phantoms in his hand, and successfully blocked a quarter of the enemies, but he alone couldn't scruple in all directions, and soon three men in black moved towards Zuo Shaoqing. Make moves at the door.

Zuo Shaoqing didn't intend to run first, holding the soft sword that hadn't been used well to resist the opponent's attack with difficulty.

The software is too flexible, and if you are not careful, you can't tell the enemy from yourself, and you even scratch yourself. When Zuo Shaoqing's software wrapped around a sharp blade, another sword pointed straight at his neck and stabbed him.

"Catch the living!" A deep command made the sword shift its direction, and Zuo Shaoqing dodged it in time, only a section of hair was cut off.

"Yinyi, their target is me, and they don't intend to take my life for the time being, you go find someone!..."

Taking advantage of the chaos, Zuo Shaoqing pushed Yin Yi out of the encirclement, and roared: "Go!" He managed a few moves, but he also inevitably suffered a few wounds.

Yin Yi clenched the sword in his hand, gritted his teeth and performed light kung fu, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Zuo Shaoqing's physical strength was exhausted, and his two fists were no match for four hands, so he didn't resist at all, and threw down his sharp sword to catch him without a fight.

A leading man in black looked at Yin Yi's disappearing direction, which was uncertain, but such a big move had already alarmed the Jiang family. He had no time to chase, so he could only order someone to take Zuo Shaoqing away!

Zuo Shaoqing only had time to hear the sound of chaotic and hasty footsteps before he was slashed on the back of the neck by a palm knife, and his eyes turned black and he passed out.

Lu Zheng led the bodyguard all the way to the palace, and along the way, he also received news from several spies from the Duke of Zhen's mansion.

Standing in front of the palace gate, Lu Zheng saw that the palace gate was closed tightly, and the imperial guards on the city wall looked tensely on guard, so he ordered a guard beside him: "You go back to the mansion and pass on my orders. Everyone is on guard, no matter who dares to come to harass, they will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes."

Seeing that the guard turned to leave, Lu Zheng added: "After returning to the mansion, take a group of people to Jiang's mansion to bring Zuo Sanye to Zhen Guogong's mansion."

The guard agreed respectfully again, and then hurried away.

Seeing the arrival of Lord Zhen Guo, the leader of the imperial guard hurriedly asked someone to open the palace gate, and hurriedly greeted Lu Zheng when he came in.

"what's the situation?"

"Grandpa Lu, an hour ago, the emperor suddenly summoned all the imperial guards, closed the palace gates, and put on strict guard. The subordinates don't know when it happened, but a quarter of an hour ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a lot of weapons. .”

Lu Zheng paused, glanced at the box under the corner, and knew that a fierce battle was inevitable tonight.

Compared with these imperial guards who are used to being comfortable in the capital and the emperor on the dragon chair who has never been on a battlefield, Lu Zheng obviously knows how to command the army better.

"Pass down the order, let people prepare food, first serve the guards, all cheer up, there will be no peace tonight."

Although the Imperial Guard Army was not under the jurisdiction of the Zhen Guogong Mansion, no one in the Imperial Guard Army refuted Lu Zheng's words. On the contrary, seeing him, the original uneasy heart was settled.

"Increase the number and frequency of patrols, and take down any suspicious people immediately."

"Yes."

Lu Zheng turned his head, glanced around, and said loudly: "Those who are afraid of death, withdraw first, and don't be so frightened that you can't even hold the knife steadily when something happens, you will harm others and yourself!"

The imperial guards were all noble children, and most of them had never seen blood, but they should have a little bit of arrogance. After being ridiculed by Lu Zheng, they all blushed.

"I swear to protect the imperial city to the death!" Someone yelled first, and then the imperial guards of the entire palace responded with great momentum.

Lu Zheng was a little satisfied looking at the refreshed imperial guards, and then followed the servant to the imperial study.

In the imperial study room, Zhan Yuanfeng did not sit on the dragon chair, but sat cross-legged on the soft bed beside him, with an unfinished chess game in front of him.

Lu Zheng walked into the imperial study room unimpeded all the way, and seeing that Zhan Yuan Feng was not in a hurry, he couldn't help teasing: "The emperor is very elegant!"

Zhan Yuanfeng touched his chin, messed up the chess game with a wave, got up and said with a smile: "Aiqing still has a way, I was still thinking about how to improve the morale of the imperial guards just now." Feng heard it all.

There were still a few ministers standing in the study room. They were the chief assistants of the court, and there were quite a few of the six ministers, but a few of them looked bewildered, obviously not knowing what happened.

"The imperial guards are only 3 in total, and there are indeed [-] in the Nine Guards of the capital. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to defend the palace!" Lu Zheng told the truth, but it made several ministers listening to him break out in a cold sweat.

Those who can get above the second rank are not idiots, and a few short sentences are enough for them to understand the seriousness of the matter.

Moreover, they also saw the changes in the imperial city just now. After several guesses and combined with the matter, it is not difficult to guess the truth of the matter.

It's fine during the day, but the palace is on guard at night, so it must not be an invasion from outside, it could only be a rebellion from within.

Among the remaining princes of the late emperor, except for the fourth prince, King Ruiqing, who has grown up, the rest are still children, and they can't think of anyone else except King Ruiqing.

It's just that he never expected that the fourth prince, who has always shown his pure heart and passion for calligraphy and painting, would have such ambitions, and he didn't know when he would win over the nine guards of the capital.

Minister of the Ministry of War's legs softened, and he knelt down on the ground: "The emperor forgives the crime, but the humble minister was negligent, and he didn't know when Xu Zegang gave birth to a rebellious heart."

Shang Shoufu took a step forward, and Lang Lang said: "Commander Xu is the nephew of Concubine Xu, who was highly valued by the late emperor, and unexpectedly embarked on this road of rebellion. I think that your majesty is in the most serious danger now, so you should dispatch the Jingji camp Come here to escort you." As he spoke, he did not forget to take a deep look at Lu Zheng.

Everyone understood what he meant. The [-] soldiers in the Jingji Battalion plus the [-] soldiers and horses stationed by Lord Zhen Guo in the suburbs of Beijing were enough to fight against the Jingdu Nine Guards.

Lu Zheng held a heavy army, but only [-] soldiers remained near the capital. Firstly, it was a waste to keep a large number of soldiers here, and secondly, it was to avoid arousing the fear of the officials.

Zhan Yuanfeng didn't make a decision right away, because he still couldn't guarantee that the people in Jingjiying would not be bribed by King Ruiqing.

Just as he was weighing the gains and losses, the leader of the imperial guards brought an urgent report, "Reporting to the emperor, the rebels have surrounded the palace."

"How many people came?"

"Visual estimation is not under [-]."

Zhan Yuanfeng glanced at several ministers, decisively took out the soldier talisman from the hidden compartment, and handed it to Lu Zheng cautiously, "Ai Qing, I have given you the command of the Jingji Battalion. If anyone refuses to accept it, he will be killed on the spot." !"

"The minister obeys the order!"
