On the night of the second day of November, the Qing army took Tongzhou directly and immediately blocked the news.

Zhang Xian was woken up by a ladle of water, and was about to get up to beat someone, but found himself tied up.

"It's from me! Who the hell tied me up! I kicked your ass off—"

"General."

Sun Xin interrupted him with a deep voice, his expression was serious and serious, totally different from his usual silly smile.

But Zhang Xian didn't react, and still ordered him as before: "You don't have to untie this general! Who tied me up?"

Sun Xin just looked down at him without reaching out.

"General, we have won."

"Win what?" Zhang Xian looked bewildered.

"Last night when the Qing army attacked the city, we defended the city victoriously and beat the Qing army to pieces."

Zhang Xian's eyes widened: "Are you dreaming?"

He suddenly realized, "Why did your words change?!"

Not just the accent, but even the diction has become much more refined.

Sun Dao said, "We will take the prisoners of the Qing Army back to the capital when the sun rises. General, for your great achievements, Shi Ming will definitely make you a prince."

Zhang Xian finally noticed something was wrong.

He looked at the familiar barracks, felt the strange silence outside, his heart was beating non-stop, and his breathing became heavy and rapid.

"Who the hell are you! You've been lying to me all this time!"

Sun Xin continued to think to himself: "I also want to tell you a piece of good news. We have successfully captured Prince Qing's son. How about you personally escorting him to Beijing?"

"Are you from the Northwest Army? Or from the King of Yue?"

Sun Xin smiled slightly, but did not answer, but turned to face the door, and bowed.

"Subordinates see the lord!"

Lou Yu stepped into the barracks, Huo Yan followed closely.

Both of them have faces like crown jade, and the phoenix looks like a dragon.

"Get up, you have worked hard these days." Lou Yu smiled gently.

Sun Xin said excitedly, "Your subordinate is not working hard!"

Lou Yu helped him up himself, then turned to look at Zhang Xian.

"General Zhang, nice to meet you."

Zhang Xian asked in a daze: "Who are you?"

Lou Yu didn't reply to him, but just handed a box to Sun Xin, and said lightly: "Feed him to eat."

Sun Xin did as he said, and under Zhang Xian's terrified eyes, he stuffed an unknown, cold, hard thing down his throat.

Something slipped into the esophagus.

"What did you eat for me!"

Lou Yu asked: "You are a member of Tiansheng Sect, I wonder if you have heard of Southern Border Gu Art?"

"..."

In fact, the teachings of the Tiansheng religion they established were all plagiarized from other sects.

Even if you haven't seen Gu Shu with your own eyes, you have heard of some deeds about Gu Shu.

It is said that if the bewitched person does not listen to the bewitched person, he will die of intestinal rot, and after death, he can only go to the [-]th floor of hell.

Zhang Xian is afraid of ghosts and gods.

He asked tremblingly, "You, what exactly are you feeding me?"

Lou Yu smiled extraordinarily gently, but what he said made Zhang Xian feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"A small bug that can burrow through the intestines."

Zhang Xian collapsed instantly: "Please let me go, I don't want this city anymore, your lord has a lot, let me go, I promise I won't show up again..."

"Shut up." Lou Yu interrupted him coldly.

Zhang Xian immediately fell silent.

"As long as you are obedient, I will detoxify you, otherwise you will wait to die of pain."

"I listen! I listen!"

He was not a person with a bottom line, and he followed Shi Ming only because he had a way out.

Now that people are dying, what do you care about being loyal?

To put it bluntly, the people under Shi Ming's hands are all greedy and selfish villains.

When disaster is imminent, everyone wants to fly.

The Qing Army quietly entered Tongzhou City and beheaded the other small leaders of the Tiansheng Sect, leaving only Zhang Xian.

Lou Yu sometimes felt that communication in ancient times was really inconvenient, and sometimes he felt that poor communication was a good thing.

Originally, it was the Qing Army that captured Tongzhou City, but just a little change can temporarily present a false impression to the world——

The Qing army failed to attack the city and fled in embarrassment. Prince Qing's son and all the Qing army were captured. General Zhang Xian escorted them back to the capital to claim their reward!

This is Lou Yu's plan to surprise the capital.

He wanted to paralyze Shi Ming first, making Shi Ming mistakenly think that Prince Qing's son failed and was captured.

In this way, Shi Ming must be overjoyed, and maybe he will have to feast and have fun with his officials.

After Zhang Xian listened, he finally understood who the person in front of him was.

He is Prince Qing's son!

This son of King Qing actually started planning so early. He placed meticulous work by his side and encouraged himself to garrison Tongzhou City, just for this day!

He lied to everyone!

Zhang Xian couldn't help asking: "It's been so long since you've entered the city, aren't you afraid that someone has already gone to the capital to report the news?"

He had been in a coma before, and he didn't know how Lou Yu and the others attacked the city.

Sun Xin explained in "good faith": "It was the gate guard who opened the gate to welcome us into the city, and it took only a cup of tea."

And after they entered the city, they immediately sealed off all the city gates to ensure that not a single fly could fly out.

Zhang Xian: "..."

Sun Xin said again: "The capital is busy collecting supplies, and it is in a mess now. I guess no one cares about Tongzhou's affairs."

To be honest, Shi Ming and Du Qian may only be concerned about the situation in Tongzhou in the current capital.

Shi Ming sat alone in the palace, closed his eyes and listened, completely unaware that his heart was already distracted.

After Du Qian's assassination plan failed and he vomited blood, he is now bedridden.

The remaining officials and generals, who were from the Heavenly Sacred Sect, plundered money and food from the people wantonly, trying to find a way out for themselves. Officials who surrendered were soft bones, no matter who called, they would not resist.

Everyone has their own minds.

General Yunhui looked at the belongings piled on the table, and happily said to his confidant: "This general will not be so stupid as to die!"

He already has so much money, with so much money, wouldn't it be good to just find a place to live happily?

At the beginning, he was willing to attack the capital, but because there was no way out.

The confidant said: "General, have you thought about retreating?"

General Yunhui grinned: "I plan to leave the capital tomorrow!"

There are plenty of people who think like him.

How Shi Ming sat on the dragon chair is well known to everyone.

In other words, betrayal of the Lord is nothing new.

When Shi Ming can do them good, they are naturally willing to follow. Once Shi Ming is in trouble, they will run faster than anyone else.

No one really wants to defend the city, everyone is looking for a way out for themselves.

There is only one life, cherish it.

On the third day of November, the sky is fixed and the ground is closed, and the vegetation is sparse.

On the tower of the east gate of the capital, the guard yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and suddenly stopped.

Not far outside the city, a large wave of horses and horses galloped in. Wherever they went, there were horseshoes and dust.

The guards panicked at first, after all, they didn't have so many war horses.

But after seeing the flag fluttering in the wind, he let go of his hesitation.

That is the flag of the Tongzhou garrison!

Sun Xin led the loveless Zhang Xian all the way to the bottom of the city tower, waving his arms, and shouted excitedly: "Tongzhou victory! Tongzhou victory! General Zhang captured Prince Qing's son and five thousand Qing troops. It's not too soon." Open the city gate!"

The guard was overjoyed, Tongzhou won? !

No wonder General Zhang has so many war horses, they must have been snatched from the Qing army!

He quickly notified the chief.

Because the Qing army was always blocked by Tongzhou, Shi Ming did not deploy many troops at the east gate of the capital, and the generals guarding the gate were not very useful.

Zhang Xian is Shi Ming's confidant, and it is impossible for the generals defending the city not to know him.

He hurriedly opened the city gate with a smile, and said flatteringly to Zhang Xian: "Master Hou, you are really a star, and you have captured the Qing army in just a few days, it's amazing!"

Zhang Xian: "..."

Thinking of the Gu worm in his stomach, he regretted it!

Why can't he think about guarding Tongzhou?

If he hadn't gone to guard Tongzhou, he could still be lying in the house drinking tea and having fun.

So what about the siege of the three armies?

He can take advantage of the chaos and escape from the capital!

But no matter how regretful he was, he could only follow Lou Yu's orders now.

Zhang Xian said expressionlessly: "What are you talking about, let me enter the city quickly."

It adds a bit of majesty.

The guard turned sideways quickly, "Master Hou, please."

It is a great thing for the capital that the Qing army fled in Tongzhou!

The guard looked around for a few times, and found that there was a man in the team who was tightly tied up with a rope. The clothes on his body looked very luxurious at first glance, and he looked fair and clean. He must be Prince Qing's son!

This time the emperor must be very happy, maybe Zhang Houye's title can be raised even higher.

He can't afford to be negligent.

This time Zhang Xian led the "Three Thousand Tongzhou Garrison", tied up "Five Thousand Qing Army Prisoners", and entered the capital openly.

In fact, these 8000 people are all Qing troops in disguise!

For the 8000 to [-] garrisons in the capital, these [-] people may not be enough to fit between the teeth.

But the Qing army has three advantages.

The first is to catch the unprepared by surprise.

Second, the capital is chaotic, the hearts of the people are scattered, and the morale of the army is unstable, let alone morale, which is completely absent.

Third, 8000 people in the city are enough to disrupt the capital, and there are more than 3 people on standby outside the city.

Lou Yu strives for a quick solution.

The "Prince Qing's son" who entered the city was of course pretended by others, and Lou Yu and Huo Yan were approaching the capital with an army of [-].

When the news of "the Qing army was captured" spread to the palace, Shi Ming's jaw almost dropped in shock.

It's too abrupt!

After the surprise, there was a burst of ecstasy.

The Qing Army was defeated!

Doesn't this mean that it will be more difficult for the Northwest Army and the Vietnamese Army to break through the capital?

great great!

He asked the left and right: "Where is Zhang Xian? Is Lou Yu really captured?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Master Zhang Hou is still rectifying his troops, Prince Qing's son has indeed been captured."

Shi Ming clapped his hands and laughed happily.

The continuous bad news had caused his nerves to collapse to the extreme, and he had lost his mind when he suddenly heard a good news.

He didn't care about the specific situation of the Tongzhou victory, or whether it was reasonable for Zhang Xian to bring five thousand prisoners into the city, he only knew that he still had hope of victory!

"Okay! Zhang Xian has made a great contribution this time, and I will reward him heavily!"

A while later, Zhang Xian brought Sun Xin into the palace in military uniform.

Shi Ming smiled and said: "Aiqing has done a great job in defending against the enemy this time, so just tell me what reward you want!"

"Your Majesty, the Qing army is no longer in a good position. Prince Qing's sons are all in the hands of Wei Chen. It is estimated that those Qing soldiers who escaped have no intention of attacking Tongzhou. Now Wei Chen is only worried about the Northwest Army and the Yue Army. The Northwest Army used to be The troops brought out by General Huo Yi must be much stronger than the Qing Army, I am very worried about the safety of Your Majesty and the capital!"

He spoke with sincerity, and Shi Ming was quite moved.

"But they only add up to 8 horses. Could it be that our [-] to [-] troops can't hold a capital?"

After the victory in Tongzhou, Shi Ming's confidence rose sharply.

He looked at Zhang Xian with bright eyes and said, "Zhang Aiqing is very capable, why don't you guard the city this time!"

Zhang Xian: "..."

He looked at the complete trust and expectation in Shi Ming's eyes, and suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart.

Sun Xin stood behind him, calmly rubbing his back.

The friendship in Zhang Xian's heart was instantly extinguished.

No matter how strong the guilt is, it can't compare to his own life!

He immediately half-kneeled on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "My minister obeys the order!"

Shi Ming helped him up kindly.

"By the way, where is Prince Qing's son? I want to meet him!"

Then kill him!

Zhang Xian said: "Your Majesty, after I entered the city, I was a little worried when I saw the soldiers in the city listless. Tang Cheng and Lou Zong were about to call, and they were so frightened before they went to the battlefield. How would we defend the city then? Since we captured Qing Prince Wang, why don't your majesty call all the big guys together and let them have a look at Prince Qing, so that they can refresh themselves. Anyway, the Northwest Army and the Vietnam Army are still far away from the capital, so it's no problem to call everyone here."

"Good idea!" Shi Ming's eyes were completely different, "I will do as you say!"

His favorite thing to do is to trample the enemy under his feet.

It would be more enjoyable to be able to humiliate Lou Yu in front of everyone and then kill him!

Zhang Xian saw his killing intent, so he proposed: "Your Majesty, I think that after Tang Cheng and Lou Zong arrive, we can hang Prince Qing's son on the tower to frighten them!"

When he spoke, he always only called Tang Cheng and Lou Zong by their names, but never called Lou Yu's name directly.

Shi Ming didn't notice this detail, his mind was already full of the sudden victory.

"You're right! I want to show them what it's like to be against me!"

Zhang Xian said at the right time: "Your Majesty, the safety of the capital is more important. I will go down first to formulate a plan to defend the city. Later, someone will bring Prince Qing's son to see you!"

"Okay, if you defend the capital, I will make you a Duke!" Shi Ming solemnly promised.

Why didn't Zhang Xian know how to fight before?

Looks like I found a treasure!

After Zhang Xian retreated with Sun Xin, he took Shi Ming's decree and became the supreme commander guarding the capital.

It is said to be the commander in chief, but it is actually just a puppet.

In the palace, Shi Ming asked the generals to gather together in the palace, saying that he wanted everyone to meet the defeated generals.

The general who accepted the edict was dumbfounded.

what's the situation?

Let them go to see the captured Prince Qing's son together?

What a sight!

But no matter how dissatisfied they were, under the power of the imperial power, they still reluctantly went.

Anyway, the Northwest Army and the Yue Army are still far away from the capital, and the Qing Army is gone, so there is no need to guard the tower now.

Everyone rushed to the palace together.

Du Qian was recuperating in the mansion. When he heard the news that "Prince Qing's son was captured", he suddenly sat up in shock and asked the servant: "Has Lou Yu been captured? Did the Qing army lose the battle?"

"Yes."

"How is this possible!" Du Qian couldn't believe it.

Although this was indeed the result he wanted to see, rationality told him that this victory came too easily.

He doesn't believe it!

"When did the war start in Tongzhou? Why didn't the capital hear the news?"

"It is said that the Qing army attacked at night last night, but they were beaten to death by Master Zhang. Prince Qing's son was also captured, and he should be taken into the palace now."

Du Qian's heart skipped a beat: "What are you bringing to the palace?"

"It was the Holy Majesty who said that he wanted to meet Prince Qing's son, and even called the generals in the city to go to the palace together."

Du Zhi's heart sank, he held the quilt tightly and said:

"The Qing Army has 4 people, Zhang Xian has only 8000 people, and he is the defender of the city. He actually defeated the Qing Army in just one night? It's a dream! Absurd! Ridiculous!"

Were Shi Ming and the group of idiots under him overwhelmed by "victory"?

Do they feel that they can easily attack the capital?

If Zhang Xian really had such ability, why didn't Shi Ming even get a marquis when he rewarded the officials?

Having fought against Lou Yu several times, Du Qian knew Lou Yu's cunning very well.

He wouldn't believe it until he saw Lou Yu captured with his own eyes!

"Prepare the car and go to the palace!"

"My lord, but your body..."

"Go!" His eyes were red.

The servant hurried down to prepare the carriage.

Inside the palace.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Shi Ming looked at the generals stepping into the hall one after another, and said with a warm smile: "Tongzhou great victory, Zhang Aiqing captured Lou Yu and more than five thousand Qing troops, he single-handedly eliminated a formidable enemy for us , it can be said to be a great contribution!"

After being emperor for a few months, he has also learned some elegant expressions.

The general at the bottom asked: "Your Majesty, where is Lou Yu? Come up and let's meet together!"

Many people nodded perfunctorily.

They even killed Emperor Zhengqian and the prince, so they didn't think there was anything unusual about a son of a vassal prince.

Anyway, the Qing army was no longer a threat.

Seeing their expressions, Shi Ming felt a little displeased.

Thinking of Zhang Xian's words that the morale of the soldiers was not high, he took it very seriously.

Look at these one by one, like lodging wheat, can't lift the slightest energy.

Shi Ming then ordered someone to bring "Prince Qing's son" up.

There are no civil servants in the hall, only military generals, and they are all military generals from the Heavenly Sacred Sect.

They have never seen Prince Qing's son, and they don't know what Prince Qing looks like.

When "Prince Qing's son" was escorted to the main hall, Shi Ming and all the generals were a little disappointed.

That's it?

"Prince Qing's son" was tied up with a rope, and he looked ordinary, no different from ordinary people.

It is estimated that those reputations are blown out.

Shi Mingju said condescendingly: "Lou Yu, why didn't you kneel when you saw me?"

"Lou Yu" raised his neck and said, "What are you, how can you make me kneel down!"

Needles can be heard falling in the hall.

All the generals were waiting for Shi Ming to get angry and chop "Lou Yu".

Shi Ming was furious, of course he wanted to chop "Lou Yu" with a single knife, but he held back Zhang Xian's suggestion of "hanging the tower".

But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped!

He immediately ordered: "Come here! Cut off his tongue for me!"

As soon as the words fell, a servant suddenly reported: "Your Majesty, Du Shangshu is asking to see you outside the palace gate."

Shi Ming frowned: "What is he doing here?"

In his opinion, Du Qian didn't accomplish anything, he was just a waste!

"Du Shang wrote that there is something very important to report to His Majesty."

Shi Ming frowned: "Okay, let him in first."

"Lou Yu" in the hall lowered his eyes slightly.

A moment later, Du Qian stepped into the hall while coughing.

A person in the hall was tied up with a rope. From the back view, his figure was similar to that of Lou Yu.

But he could tell at a glance that this was not Lou Yu!

Du Qian hurriedly walked to "Lou Yu", seeing his side face, his pupils shrank suddenly.

He is really not Lou Yu!

Du Qian was about to open his mouth, "Lou Yu" was as fast as lightning, and suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck!

The crowd was stunned.

what happened?Isn't Prince Qing tied up with a rope?Why did he break away suddenly?

Du Qian's eyeballs protruded from the pinch, his face turned purple, and he couldn't say anything.

"Lou Yu" made a sudden attack, and the generals in the palace were stunned for a few breaths before reacting immediately.

But they can't wear weapons when they enter the palace, and they don't even have a weapon in their hands.

"Lou Yu" is an elite in the special battalion, since Lou Yu sent him here, it's not for death.

He casually threw Du Qian at a group of rough and clumsy generals, and before Shi Ming could react, he strode up the steps and grabbed them!

Shi Mingben was born with mud legs, how could he compare to the well-trained elites of the special battalion?

He only felt that the hand pinching his neck was cold and cruel, with endless killing intent.

It's also because he was too excited before and didn't have the slightest defense.

How did he know that Zhang Xian would betray him!

How could he have imagined that Lou Yu would easily capture Tongzhou City!

He couldn't even imagine what kind of chaos the imperial city he controlled had become.

The emperor was detained, and the generals were all dumbfounded.

How to do this?

Shi Ming panicked and said incoherently: "Let me go, I will give you money, I will give you a big house, I will give you a lot of land, and I will give you whatever you want!"

The military commander also shouted: "Let go of Your Majesty! Please spare your life!"

Du Qian: "..."

He was thrown just now, hit the general, and was pushed to the ground. He felt that his internal organs had shifted, and his whole body was in severe pain.

He stared bitterly at the outside of the hall, and couldn't figure out why all of this was happening!

Just like he couldn't figure out why Du Zhi died.

Lou Yu is a devil!

Suddenly a palace official came to report: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The Qing Army is calling! The Qing Army is calling!"

Another person rushed over: "Your Majesty! The city is in chaos! Everything is in chaos!"

Most of the generals in the city were summoned to the palace, even if there were [-] to [-] soldiers, so what?

Without the command of a general, they are just a piece of loose sand, without any combat effectiveness at all.

When the city was in chaos, Lou Yu led 3 people to appear outside the capital.

When he set foot on this land again, his mood was completely different from the previous few times.

There are no guards in charge, only Zhang Xian, Sun Xin and others are cooperating inside and outside.

In Lou Yu's eyes, the impregnable capital city is nothing more than a castle on the beach, which will fall down when the wind blows.

When Shi Ming cooperated with Lou Zhi, Cao Yan and others to seize the capital, he probably never thought that one day he would lose the capital in the same way.

The well-trained [-] troops rushed into the chaotic capital like a gust of wind and thunder, and electric fire flew through the air.

The soldiers in the city had no intention of sticking to it. Seeing the Qing army rushing in aggressively, they didn't want to fight, so they directly raised their flags and surrendered.

At this time, the 8000 troops who entered the city first had already surrounded the imperial city.

Shi Ming and a group of generals were trapped in the palace.

There were faint cries and screams from outside the hall, like the sharpest knife stabbing into Shi Ming's chest forcefully.

Blood dripping.

The most painful thing in the world is to gain and lose again.

He has tasted the taste of power at the peak, and now he is watching power slip through his fingers little by little, how unwilling he is!

The entire hall fell into an eerie silence.

Du Qian struggled to get up and sat on the resplendent Panlongzhu.

He looked outside the hall without blinking.

I do not know how long it has been.

Like a day, and like an instant.

The palace gate was finally broken.

A tall and tall figure appeared outside the hall.

Wearing armor and holding a long sword, he stepped up the white jade steps step by step.

Under the golden sunlight, his eyes were particularly deep.

The tip of the sword slanted downwards, and dark red blood beads rolled down to the ground.

The strong murderous aura on his body forced all the generals in the hall to take a step back involuntarily.

Du Qian looked at him with vicissitudes of life, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant.

"You are Huo Yan, Huo Yi's son."

Huo Yan didn't talk nonsense, and directly crippled his hands and feet with his sword.

Du Qian also had the guts, he gritted his teeth and held back, and didn't cry out.

He collapsed on the ground, and after the severe pain passed, he couldn't help laughing.

"Huo Yan! What do you think you will end up with? Their Lou family members are all cold and selfish, so you are not afraid of falling into the same end as your father and brother in the future?!"

Huo Yan did not hesitate: "Even if it is death, I am willing."

Du Qian: "..."

"Du Qian, have you spent your entire life trying to sow discord?"

Qingyue's bright voice came from outside the hall.

Huo Yan immediately went up to meet him, and was about to kneel down to salute, but was stopped by Lou Yu.

There are many Qing troops outside the hall.

There was panic and silence in the hall.

In front of everyone, Lou Yu said without hesitation:

"Ayan, how could I be willing to let you die?"

Everyone: "..."
