The emperor had already moved into the Hunting Palace, but except for the State Adviser, the Prince and the Prince, the rest of the clan and accompanying officials still camped out, retaining the proper scene of the Hunting Sacrifice.

Mu Yanshan, who brought the soldiers who called the police, was soaked in blood, and was speechless when she was brought in front of Emperor Liang. From his distressed appearance, it could be seen that the matter was correct.

Listening to the report from the police envoy, Emperor Liang didn't know whether he was angry or frightened, his whole body kept shaking, "Nizi, this Nizi!...Zhen...Zhou should...should have strangled him to death!"

Mu Yanshan stood beside Emperor Liang calmly, "The master came from no name, and King Yu must be playing the banner of saving him. They will say that King Jing made a mess and threatened His Majesty, so they came to protect King Qin."

"When did Jingyan kidnap me?"

"The rebel army must have a reason for their rebellion. In the future, they can say that when they came to rescue him, the scene was chaotic. Although King Jing was wiped out, His Majesty and the national teacher were also killed by King Jing. At that time, there was no prince, no The national teacher will naturally establish a new heir according to the queen's order."

"Delusion!" Emperor Liang roared angrily, then forced himself to stabilize his mind, looked at the national teacher beside him, and signaled Gao Zhan to announce King Jing and Meng Zhi.

Gao Zhan briefly explained the situation, not only Meng Zhi, but even Xiao Jingyan jumped up, ignoring the rules, pulled Mu Yanshan past, walked directly to the topography map in the imperial tent, pointed to the topography and said, "Shengjia travels, the four directions There are police posts. There are two police posts between the capital and Jiu'an Mountain. One is closer to the capital. It will be pulled out by King Yu, and the other is near Jiu'an Mountain. King Yu couldn't move. The Qingli army had to go through several big towns in this raid. It was difficult to hide for a long time, and the land was a fast word. In order to save time, it was impossible for them to bypass this police post and go other ways. of."

Meng Zhi made some calculations, "But it's already too late! This post is only fifty miles away from the foot of Jiu'an Mountain. Even if we are going to protect Shengjia and leave right now, we will definitely hit him head-on!"

"The rebels are using a surprise attack tactic, so the speed must not be slow. Once they surround the main road down the mountain, it may not be easy to rush out!"

Hearing this, Emperor Liang put his hands on his sweaty forehead, and slumped in the chair weakly.

"Suppose Xu Anmo can bring all the [-] Qingli troops. The guards of the imperial army are three thousand, and they will fight against danger. It will last two or three days, right?" Mu Yanshan's eyes turned cold.

"Your Excellency underestimated our Imperial Army." Under special circumstances, the Commander-in-Chief of Meng didn't care about losing his composure, and said dissatisfiedly, "Since we now know that they are coming, we must make preparations in advance, and it will be no problem to last five days. It's just... Three days and five days, what's the use?"

"Okay, you don't need to analyze any more, national teacher, just tell them your plan and let them listen to your arrangement!" Emperor Liang was sweating profusely, and he didn't have the heart to listen to their discussion of the situation in a few words, but in the end Emperor Liang knew Mu Yanshan well, and if she didn't have a plan in mind, she wouldn't rush to reciprocate.

Mu Yanshan nodded with a serious face, "Your Majesty, the only solution now is to ask for help. Commander Meng, Jiu'an Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Please lead the [-] forbidden troops to take advantage of the terrain to hold Jiu'an Mountain."

"Sir, obey!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing, the north slope is a cliff, but there is a dangerous and steep path that is completely covered by weeds. Few people know about it. You should leave Jiu'an Mountain from there and go to Xiang Jicheng's army."

"it is good."

"And I will personally lead the troops back to the capital, and bring the [-] elite soldiers placed outside the capital to rescue. Your Majesty, during the period, I will order the mages stationed here to set up formations. I trouble you to stay in the palace with your royal family and nobles. Please do not act without permission." move around."

The situation is critical, and there is no room for hesitation at this time, so Emperor Liang only pondered for a while, and he personally went into the inner account to fetch half a soldier talisman, and solemnly handed it over to King Jing: "National Teacher, Jingyan, Jiangshan Sheji, now you two body, remember not to lose anything on the way!"

"Yes! I will not disgrace my life." The national teacher and King Jing knelt down and saluted. Xiao Jingyan took the military talisman and stood up, grabbed the cloak in the servant's hand, shook it in the wind, tied it on his shoulders, and strode out of the hall. go.

After Meng Zhi and Prince Jing had left and there was no one in the tent, Emperor Liang said, "Yan Shan, tell me honestly, is Xia Jiang the one behind the scenes?"

"It was he who asked His Royal Highness King Yu to give it a go."

"This time you go back, you must execute Xia Jiang, did you hear that!!"

"Yes!"

Mu Yanshan walked out of the imperial tent wearing a snow-white cloak. Prince Jing was waiting outside. When he saw her coming out, he stretched out his hand and pulled her to go outside.

Now the most honorable two faces are as cold as iron, walking like the wind, not at all moved by this panic. After their straight and firm figures passed through, the people watching them on both sides became inexplicably calmer.

Walking around the huge platform in front of the Hunting Palace, one can see Mei Changsu and Meng Zhi standing side by side by the mountain path at a glance, one pointing to the terrain ahead as if saying something, the other nodding frequently in agreement.

"I'm leaving immediately," Prince Jing said solemnly, "On the mountain, I'll leave to the commander."

"Your Highness, don't worry!" Meng Zhi clasped his fists, and answered these four words very crisply.

Xiao Jingyan turned Mu Yanshan's body, held her face in his hands, and stared at her deeply. He said nothing, but it was worth a thousand words. His deep eyes firmly held her, and he couldn't let her go.

Their eyes met, and as soon as she saw his affectionate eyes, she seemed to realize something instantly.

She felt suffocated and took a long breath, her chest heaving.

Xiao Jingyan lowered his head and gave a fiery kiss. Gradually, between the exchange of breaths, a restless emotion developed. He held her waist and whispered softly in her ear: "Come back well, you and I will come back , Shan'er..."

Xiao Jingyan was afraid that he couldn't help it, so he turned his head hard and ran towards the north slope with big strides.Food and water for the horses had already been prepared at the foot of the mountain. Five knights who accompanied them had come down the mountain the day before and were waiting at the intersection.

Mu Yanshan was stunned, she turned her head and saw Mei Changsu and Meng Zhi looking at her with two dedicated expressions for watching the excitement, Mei Changsu had the expression of a young girl in my family, and Meng Zhi was amazed that His Royal Highness Prince Jing was so brave today!

"Take care of yourself." Mu Yanshan looked at Mei Changsu, who nodded slightly to reassure her.

In a blink of an eye, Mu Yanshan and Mu Xuan had disappeared in place.

It may be ironic, but when the bloody smell is approaching, the weather is unusually bright. Between the gaps between the trees where new green teeth emerge, little golden sunlight dances lightly, bringing a sense of leisure and warmth.

Meng Zhi held his sword and stood at the forefront of the Imperial Army's line of defense, motionless as a mountain.Born on the battlefield, he knows that when the enemy is more than ten times the size of his own and swarms up, the sense of oppression is amazing. Once the soldiers can't bear it and become timid, they will be defeated at any time , so he must take the lead, arouse everyone's courage, and can't lose the contact at the very first moment.

Due to the high mountains and dense forests, the narrow and winding roads, and the imperial army's well-equipped armor and strong shields, the Qingli army could neither use cavalry nor crossbows to clear the way. The snow is bright and dense, like a forest, rushing forward amidst the shouts of killing soaring to the sky.

Facing the attack like a huge wave, the forbidden army is as stable and stable as a rock on the seashore.

The front row is thick and solid shields, covering the strong crossbowmen in the second row. As soon as the rebels rushed into the range, the sound of feather arrows "swish" sounded, not dense but extremely accurate.In an instant, one piece fell, and those behind rushed forward, and people kept turning over and falling to the ground.The momentum of the attackers who came with the crowd was suddenly broken by several points.

The Qingli army was mobilized by 5 people this time, and they had an overwhelming advantage in strength. They could go to the battlefield batch by batch, but the imperial army had to fight continuously, and sometimes they didn't even have time to drink water and eat. , and had to retreat section by section, relying on pre-arranged traps and changeable tactics to maintain resistance.

In the early morning of the third day, the imperial army almost retreated from the edge of the dense forest.

However, at this moment, they who were already exhausted suddenly launched a counterattack. The Qingli army was startled, and hurriedly withdrew their troops and retreated temporarily. Unexpectedly, as soon as this side retreated, the other side retreated at an extremely fast speed. They withdrew completely from the dense forest, and the broken group of crossbowmen shot rockets, igniting the fire starters that had been arranged in various places in the forest.The mountain wind was fierce, and it burned into a line of fire in a short time, and gradually spread rapidly.

Beyond the jungle.It is a mountain stream, about five feet wide.There is plenty of water and a natural fire dividing wall, so there is no fear that the fire will be led to a higher hunting palace.

Mei Changsu stood on the high platform outside the hunting palace, staring at the billowing smoke and the intensifying fire rising from the direction of the dense forest, his plain white face was calm and unwavering.Without the slightest expression.

"Mr. Su," Lie Zhanying rushed over panting, his face covered with black ashes, "the imperial army still has a total of 300 people in combat strength, plus the guards from various prefectures, it can make up 2000 people, the commander-in-chief suggested Everyone retreated into the Hunting Palace and asked me to ask what you mean, Mr.

Mei Changsu nodded, "It's right to do so. The Hunting Palace is surrounded by open grassy slopes, there is no danger to defend, and there is no need to fortify. It is the best choice to retreat directly to the Hunting Palace.

"Yes." Lie Zhanying replied, while stretching his neck to look at the fire in the distance.

At this time, basically all the people had moved into the hunting palace, and it was very crowded for a while, but in this situation, no one had the leisure to complain about the poor conditions, everyone's face was tense, and their faces were as yellow as dirt.

The mages of the National Teacher's Mansion drew out formations to separate the palace from the battlefield, forming a protective layer to keep out all the arrows and cannon fodder that were shot at the palace.

The princes and princes were called into the emperor's dormitory to accompany him, first to free up space for other clans and accompanying civil servants to live in, and second, these people talking to Emperor Liang was also good for the old emperor's emotional stability.

Since Prince Jing was not around, everyone else in Prince Jing's residence was in the battle team. Concubine Jing invited Mei Changsu in after asking Emperor Liang for an order. Zhi went there.

After a day and night that was almost suffocating in silence, the figures of the rebels reappeared in the sight of the hunting palace defenders on the evening of the fourth day.

The fierce battle at this time was even more different from the previous few days, because it was so close, so close that the big shots in the palace could almost smell the smell of blood.Under the wave after wave of attacks by the rebels, the imperial army, who had run out of arrows, tightened their front line and began to guard door by door, step by step.Because this is the most elite part of the most elite team trained by the top master in Daliang, and because of the bloody courage of the last stand, they fought until late at night, and the rebels only broke into the outermost side pavilion.

"Haven't the reinforcements from the imperial capital arrived yet?" Hearing the shouts of killing outside, Emperor Liang murmured in his bedroom, whether it was from a human being or talking to himself.

"Hurry up, trust me, Master Guoshi." Concubine Jing comforted softly, holding the old emperor's trembling hand.

For fear of becoming a target, only a few dim lamps were lit in the room, and the dim light made the faces of the people in the palace look ashen as ever.

Duke Huai, who was the most timid by nature, couldn't help curling up into a ball long ago, and said in a trembling voice: "If they attack us, do they really dare to ... do something to us?"

"Shut up!" Emperor Liang yelled angrily, trying his best to maintain his imperial demeanor, not wanting to show timidity in front of others, "How could this group of rebels attack in? I trusted Meng Zhi, Jing Yan, and even more National Division!"

Following the angry reprimand, the room fell silent, which made the shouts of killing from outside even harsher, and the smell of blood became more intense.

Foya raised his head suddenly, and let out a long cry of "嗤----", which shocked everyone in the hall who had already been tense.

"What kind of beast is this? How did it get in?" Emperor Liang shouted angrily.

Mei Changsu gently stroked the back of Buddha's Tooth to appease its wildness aroused by blood, while Concubine Jing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please be safe. This is Jingyan's war wolf. Although others are not here, let this wolf be left behind." , it can be regarded as protecting His Majesty on his behalf."

"Oh?" Emperor Liang immediately turned his anger into joy, "This wolf, can kill the enemy?"

"Yes, with it guarding in front of His Majesty, who can take the next step near His Majesty?" Concubine Jing's calm smile eased the tense atmosphere in the hall in a timely manner.

Under Mei Changsu's touch, Buddha's tooth gradually returned to calm, but his ears were still standing upright vigilantly.

However, the night has become more and more restless.

Although the pace of the imperial army's retreat was slow, they were retreating step by step after all. Everyone in the palace felt this.

"The reinforcements haven't arrived yet?" King Ji couldn't help but said this time, "The Hunting Palace is already the last line of defense!"

"Of course not," Mei Changsu's voice as calm as ice sounded at this moment, "the palace gate and this palace gate have been breached, the palace gate and our own body have been breached. As long as there is one breath left, we will be It’s not a failure.”

What he said was so cold that King Ji was terrified, and Emperor Liang's eyes couldn't help jumping rapidly.

Mei Changsu turned around and faced the monarch sitting in the middle: "Your Majesty also has a sword by his side, doesn't he?"

Liang Di was aroused by his heavy gaze, and he was young. He tightened his fingers and grabbed the sword next to the throne, but he couldn't draw the sword out of its sheath after staring for a long time.

Concubine Jing got up slowly, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, the sword's edge flashed across her eyebrows, and a chill shone in the autumn water. "Your Majesty, please bestow this sword on my concubine, who is willing to be your majesty's last line of defense."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Liang's heart trembled violently. While being moved, his former arrogance suddenly surged up. He grabbed Concubine Jing's sword-holding hand and said loudly: "I am here and you are here, who dares to hurt you?"

Before the lingering sound fell, a stream of arrows broke through the window as if to destroy the momentum of his words, and was nailed to the pillar with a whistling sound. Although it deviated far away, it was enough to cause panic in the hall, Amidst the panting and low yelling, some people even began to sob in the dark.

The mage of the National Teacher's Mansion was overjoyed. Some people were already covered in sweat and fell to the ground, but everyone could see the joy on their faces. The mana comes from Mu Yanshan. Under special circumstances, Mu Yanshan needs to put her mana back together in order to quell the war to the greatest extent.

The hall was full of voices of long sighs of relief, Emperor Liang put his arm around Concubine Jing's shoulders overjoyed, and kept saying, "Okay...okay..." At this time, Dongfang had already seen white.

On the battlefield outside, ten thousand elites pierced straight into the heart of the rebels like a sharp arrow, and a silver-white figure swept up immediately, and rushed down like a roc with wings spread, stepping over the heads of many rebels and heading straight for this person. It was just a simple movement of chopping and retracting, the head flew up, and at the same time as the blood gushed out, the silver-white figure jumped back to its original position, standing proudly upright with a horizontal sword in its chest.

The majesty of the national teacher instantly calmed the audience.

Amidst the thunderous applause of the forbidden army, the Qingli army's position was a little loose, and they were unable to push forward any further.

But only for a moment.The new commander has been replaced, and this time he stands farther away.Drive soldiers hard in the rear.Keep increasing the reward.

At the same time, heavily armored soldiers were replaced.To deal with the rain of arrows in this way, this trick is really effective. After all, there are not many good archers who can shoot through the gaps in the iron armor. Almost no one fell down in the first half, and only a small part fell in the second half, but most of them fell. Still rushed to the front of the shield formation.

At this time, the shield bearer suddenly retracted the shield and retreated, and the crossbowman turned sideways, revealing a row of swordsmen, all of whom are excellent fighters with outstanding martial arts skills, light armor and strong armor, and thin swords like ice, dealing with heavy armored soldiers is like chopping melons Like a dish, it only attacks people's unbound joints, and the occasional counterattacks they encounter are all slow and easy to dodge.

In the state of being slaughtered all the way, the armored soldiers of the subway were followed by the infantry who moved more lightly. They were originally prepared to break through the scattered arrows and use them as the main offensive.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the butcher's knife of the god of death has been raised.Ten thousand elites had already shown their swords and halberds and charged at the rebels.After staying in the capital for less than half a year, all the soldiers took a deep breath in their hearts. Now that they have a place to use their talents, each one is more heroic than the other.

It took only one day for Mu Yanshan to return to Beijing to lead troops to recover the capital, arrest King Yu, execute Xia Jiang, and guard the entire palace.Then he led the elite army to rush all the way, non-stop along the road, robbing and killing the rebels all the way, leaving no one alive.

So a new round of fierce fighting began.
