Not only the person who asked the question, but all the officials present were stunned.

——Although just now this man and the sixth prince can hear his disobedience, but the city is about to be destroyed, and everyone knows that the great sustenance is exhausted. If you are stubborn, you probably don't have any serious heart towards Su Chao.

For example, the doctor of Guanglu Temple, who is staying at this moment, is thinking about waiting for the rebels to enter the city. Maybe he, a former official, can play around and help the people restore their livelihoods as soon as possible.

There are also some who are just about to move, thinking that they will flatter and surrender as soon as the "new king" arrives.It's just that there is a need to save face, so it's not easy to express such thoughts here, and only wait for that Gu Yi to enter the palace before thinking about it.

But—but—

Having the intention of rebelling against the Su Dynasty, and colluding with the rebels a long time ago, these are completely different things!

The former is "just" "knowing current affairs", while the latter... the latter... is simply a spy, a spy, and a heinous traitor!

The speculators were stunned on the spot, and the few who were truly loyal to Dasu immediately saw their eyes tearing apart:

"Shuzi dare!"

While they hissed and reprimanded, Uncle Xuan Ping slowly stretched the folds on his robe sleeves:

"The son of heaven has no way, cruelty to the good, rewards and punishments from the heart, and punishments to the mouth. As a result, the people's livelihood is so difficult, mourning is everywhere, and the beautiful land in the south of the Yangtze River, there are people who eat each other. The tyranny of the stupid king is so tyrannical, and the people of the world have to punish it together. Zhang Why don't you dare to oppose it?"

See the poor dagger as shown in the picture.

The man's long and narrow eyebrows were drawn towards him like a knife's edge, and his tone was calm and penetrating.

Under his calm but awe-inspiring aura, those few loyal ministers couldn't speak for a while.

Tan Jiuzhang twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered:

"It's the same now. The emperor fled in a hurry, and the sixth prince wanted to lure the people of the city to block Gu Jun's iron cavalry, Yinmucang... The roots of this big hotel are rotten. You say I colluded with the rebels... But the rebels , What was it in the first place? It was the frontier army, the mighty army guarding the northwest of Dasu, and the barrier of the country!"

He shouted angrily, his eyes swept towards the minister who questioned him before like lightning.

"I, Qin Zhang, do I want to let the hero not get close, and get close to the thieves who are trying to survive and rule the tyrannical country?"

He made a loud noise, and for a moment, the interrogator was tongue-tied and unable to respond.

On the contrary, a minister who has a good relationship with Tan Jiuzhang recently, was stunned for a while, shook his head and said:

"Even so, it's all you need to speak out to remonstrate, how can, how can you do such a thing of secretly colluding with the rebels?"

"Hasn't Mr. Wu ever advised you above? What's the result?"

Master Wu's complexion changed constantly, and finally he could only shut up with a wry smile.

Seeing that no one could speak, Tan Jiuzhang turned around and walked out of the hall, saying as he walked:

"The merits and demerits of Zhang's actions are free for the people to judge. I am going to meet the general now. If anyone cares about the suffering of the people, you may wish to walk with me. If you want to stay with this decaying Dasu to the end... "

He didn't continue, just snorted and laughed, but everyone knew what he meant.

Hearing what this uncle who had no scruples about collaborating with the rebels said, the group of people here looked at each other secretly, and most of them saw hesitation on each other's faces.

——After all, only a few of those here at the moment are devoted to Dasu, and the rest either care more about the common people than the imperial court, or they are trying to support a new monarch.It's just that everyone wants to save face, and everyone wants to maintain the face of this "loyal minister".

Seeing the flicker on the faces of their peers, everyone has a ghost in their hearts, their eyes are divided as soon as they are touched, and they hesitate.

Seeing that tall and tall figure walk out of the palace gate, gradually going away along the steps, and gradually turning into a faint red shadow, someone finally gritted his teeth, unable to hold on to his vain face, he suddenly got up and walked towards the door outside:

"Come on, let's go, let's go, the matter has come to this, Dasu is powerless to return to heaven, why not fight for a ray of peace for the people in the capital. I, Lu, will go!"

"Master Lu, you—"

Someone screamed.

But soon, with the leader, officials followed one after another and gathered in one place. Everyone's official uniforms with wide robes and long sleeves were put together, which gave people a mighty feeling at a glance.

The eyes of several officials who vowed to defend Dasu to the death were darkened, and they sat down on the ground with pale faces, crying, "It's over, it's over."

The cry was so shrill, if people heard it, they would be unbearable...

But in the meantime, the palace people had already left, and the other ministers also left with Tan Jiuzhang, and no one could hear the final cry of the end of the dynasty.

The road in the middle of the palace, except for the emperor, only the queen on her wedding day, and the number one scholar, second place, and Tanhua when she leaves the palace can walk once in a lifetime.

However, at this time, there was almost no one in the palace, so naturally there were no rules to speak of.

Tan Jiuzhang stepped onto the royal road without hesitation, and walked all the way to the outside of the palace gate.

His posture shocked the other ministers who caught up with him later, but they didn't dare to say anything - only a few people secretly made a note in their hearts, thinking about the change of dynasty and the new emperor ascending the throne in the future. The impeachment of this person.

Take the royal road before Dasu has completely disappeared?How arrogant is this man's disobedience!

Moreover, without Dasu, there would be no new dynasty?

After that General Gu came to the throne, knowing this, he had to fear Qin Zhang.

If Xia Yi heard the thoughts of this thoughtful official, he would probably burst out laughing: What's the point of going the royal way?My Tan Jiuzhang can still sleep on the dragon-bed.

Of course, no one dared to criticize Tan Jiuzhang at this time, they just caught up and asked cautiously: "Uncle Qin, where are we...?"

"Go to the city gate."

At this time, Tan Jiuzhang had received Xia Yi's message.

His family's little bastard is currently leading people to attack the capital in an all-round way, and all the eight gates of the capital are blocked and attacked by the rebels.But Li Chengye, the sixth prince who led people to guard the city, is not a fool after all. He knows that there are many gates in the city, but there are few people on his side, and it is not enough to divide it into eight gates.In order to make up for this, they came up with an idea to find countless bricks, tiles, huge stones and cross-logs, and sealed the door tightly. Soldiers were asked to burn boiling water on the top of the city. Once the rebels climbed up, they would pour boiling water down.

Since then, the gates were tightly blocked, one is that the rebels are not easy to fight, and the other is that the defenders in the city should not even think about escaping or opening the city gates to meet the rebels.

Xia Yi also knew that this bone was not easy to chew, but fortunately there were so many others, with a 20 army, it was more than enough to fight with eight divisions.But it is really inconvenient for the door to be blocked, and it is necessary to use artillery or bombs to force it open.

After several months of fighting, the stockpile of firearms has bottomed out, and it is definitely not enough to be divided into eight divisions.

Xia Yi chose Zhengdongmen as the fire point, and he himself went to direct the fire.

Li Chengye on the other end realized that this end had the strongest firepower and was the most dangerous, so he also came here.

[Li Chengye came to the east gate, which boosted the morale of the defenders.But even so, we estimate that it will take at most one or two hours before we can win. 】

Tan Jiuzhang laughed and replied:

[Okay, I'll welcome you into the city. 】

[My Majesty. 】

When Xia Yi received the news, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

He raised his eyes and looked in front of him, his soldiers were attacking the city with all their might.

Xia Yi took out all the "bombers" that hadn't been used up before, and together with the guns, the rumbling sound continued to explode on the ten-foot-high city tower.

At first, the soldiers still held up the thick-sturdy rams, shouted chant, and slammed down the door neatly.However, they soon realized that the door was blocked by countless sundries and could not be knocked open, so they changed their minds. Under the cover of artillery fire, the soldiers slipped under the base of the city and began to use flying cables, iron claws and other objects to try to attack the city. climb.

Li Chengye commanded pouring boiling water and throwing boulders below, but the rebels who controlled the firearms also suppressed their movements with firepower, buying time for the soldiers climbing the city.

Xia Yi glanced at the battlefield, then raised his eyes to look at Li Chengye who was in armor on the city wall.

He has good eyesight and can see the figure of the protagonist in the original world line swaying slightly. It is obvious that he can't bear to face the war head-on.

But after all, he has three points of spirit, and he keeps shouting to organize the defenders to prevent the violent attack below.

Xia Yi clapped his hands, and the soldier beside him handed over the horn.

"Open the door and surrender, disarm and don't kill! Defenders, you know, the emperor of Dasu has run away with the prince! Why do you have to risk your life to defend the city? Why don't you go home and take care of your wife and children!"

He raised his voice to shout to the defenders at the top of the city.

Li Chengye thumped in his heart—he was afraid that the defenders would find out that the emperor and the others had run away and had no intention of fighting, so he suppressed the news, and stood at the front to cheer everyone up.Unexpectedly, Xia Yi yelled at him.

He was flustered. He didn't know how Xia Yi knew about this, but he didn't dare to show any strangeness on his face, and shouted anxiously: "Don't listen to the rumors of anti-thieves and demons to confuse the people! Your Majesty is sitting in the palace, why did you ever escape? This prince is here with you." Everyone guard this city together!"

Xia Yi shook his head lightly, turned his face and asked the adjutant, "Has Emperor Su Chao caught him?"

"Just now the messenger came to report, and he has been caught! General, don't worry."

"What about people now? Bring it to the soldiers guarding the city to see. Let them know whether it is true or not."

"This……"

The adjutant looked troubled.

"The dog emperor and the prince's group walked slowly. They were all prisoners and they couldn't get a car. They were all rushing away. They won't be able to get through for a while."

Xia Yi reached out and knocked on his forehead helplessly: "Okay, I see."

But in this way, he couldn't convince the defenders on the city.

Li Chengye, a prince, stood on the top of the city with the posture of taking the lead, which really made the city defenders exert their [-]% strength.

[Hard bones. 】

Xia Yi licked his lips and chatted with Tan Jiuzhang using the system.

However, there was no reply from the other side.

He raised his eyebrows in confusion.

At the same time, in the city, a group of people approached the east gate.

"Who? Stay away!"

The soldiers guarding the city immediately pointed their long guns at them vigilantly.

"We want to see the sixth prince, please inform me."

The young man in the lead is tall and tall, wearing a unicorn robe embroidered with gold on a crimson sandy ground.Xiao Bing naturally didn't recognize what color it was, but he knew that the color and texture of it must be worn by very expensive nobles.

What's more, between his long and slender fingers, he held a piece of button print, which shone like a jade-colored luster in the sun, but judging from the delicate lines, it was ivory.

The leader of the team below the city swallowed.He was originally a city guard and was familiar with various seals.

This is the identity mark of the noble and noble.

Sure enough, the tall man added a sentence, which was self-introduction: "Go and report to His Highness the Sixth Highness, just say Uncle Xuan Ping, Qin Zhang, please see me."

The soldier agreed, but then thought of the Sixth Prince defending against the enemy at the top of the city, and his sense of responsibility made him ask one more question: "My lord...what do you want to do with His Highness the Sixth Prince?"

The noble uncle sighed, his brows darkened:

"His Majesty and His Royal Highness, who left Beijing through the secret road, were captured by traitors. I had no choice but to ask His Highness Six for advice."

"what?"

The soldier screamed out in shock - with him, there were other defenders of the city, as well as the ministers following behind Tan Jiuzhang.When they left the palace in a daze, there were servants from Xuan Pingbo's mansion waiting outside the palace gate, armed with weapons, they seemed to be the guards of the uncle's mansion.

After answering a few words with Uncle Qin, the people in the Xuanping Mansion led them all the way to the east of the city.

But this uncle never said that the emperor was arrested!

How did he get the news?When did you get the news?No, he was originally a close minister of the prince, so he probably knew the escape route of the emperor and the others, maybe he led someone to arrest them?

The ministers were terrified, but Tan Jiuzhang didn't even turn his head to look at them, only looking at the soldiers in front of him.

The soldier was caught off guard when he heard the news, and the first thought in his mind was:

Didn't the Sixth Highness just say that the emperor is in the palace?How did you escape and get caught?

Followed by the anger and sorrow of being deceived——unexpectedly, as the traitor said, the emperor ran away by himself regardless of the people in the city!

The soldier's expression froze for a moment, his mind was muddled, and he wanted to cry, but he had no choice but to turn around and report to the sixth prince up the tower.

When he left, all the officials behind Tan Jiuzhang were quite anxious, and asked in one go:

"Uncle Qin, what's going on? What's wrong with Your Majesty?"

"Yeah, you asked us to come here...why?"

Tan Jiuzhang didn't pay attention to it, he just waited for the soldiers who were going to report the news to hurry down from the top of the city, and told him: "His Royal Highness Six told you to go up."

So the guards holding the long wooden warehouse put away their weapons to make way for a passage.

Tan Jiuzhang and his party walked towards the city wall, but were stopped: "Sorry, Your Highness means, please go up alone."

Tan Jiuzhang let out a snort from his throat.

The ministers behind stopped consciously, but the family guards of Uncle Xuanping's mansion did not.

The soldier frowned: "Uncle, I have made it very clear just now..."

Tan Jiuzhang raised his crimson robe sleeves and waved them lightly.

The next moment, those servants and guards of Uncle Xuanping's Mansion suddenly raised their weapons in unison—judging from the coldness of the blade, the level of sophistication of this weapon definitely exceeded the limit of the imperial court—to face the guards. The city army launched an attack.

The guards were caught off guard and screamed.

The soldier who reported the message was stunned for a moment, and then roared: "Enemy attack! Stop them!"

The ministers who followed Tan Jiuzhang didn't think about this at all, and found themselves in the middle of the battle in panic. They didn't care about their appearance and shouted: "Uncle Qin, what are you doing!"

"Aren't we going to welcome General Gu into the city together? Now it's natural to help the general."

Tan Jiuzhang responded loudly.

Immediately, the defenders looked at the ministers with strange eyes.

The ministers broke out in cold sweat. Most of the people here are civil servants. They never expected that they would be confronted by a group of soldiers with weapons just because they wanted to win the meritorious service of the dragon.

"Misunderstanding—it's all a misunderstanding—"

"Qin Da blocked the defenders, Qin Er took people to move the sundries at the city gate, and cleared the space!"

Tan Jiuzhang interrupted the debate of the ministers, and at the same time, his subordinates continued to move, cooperating with the servant's movements like flowing clouds and flowing water, and directly kicked the soldier who had just reported the letter - that is, the highest-ranking soldier in this team, a hundred households - on the ground.

"Yes!"

The people in Xuan Ping Bo's Mansion were all trained by Tan Jiuzhang long ago for today, and they usually don't show their talents, but when the war happened, they showed their abilities.

The garrison army is only five thousand, divided into eight city gates.Even though the East Gate is the main attack point of the Gu army, there are more defenders, but there are only [-] of them. At this moment, most of them are defending the enemy at the top of the city, or preparing lethal weapons such as boiling water. Even inside the city gate, there were a lot of debris piled up to block the city gate, but only a hundred soldiers were set up.

The servants under Tan Jiuzhang's leadership were all meticulously trained and drilled. Regardless of the fact that the city guards have the title of "army", they have never seen blood, and they were only on patrol before.Now fighting, even though there are few people in Bofu, they are completely suppressing the defenders.

Seeing that the leader of this team—that is, the hundred households—was captured by Tan Jiuzhang, the rest of the soldiers panicked and hurriedly shouted for help from the top of the city.

The movement under the city attracted the attention of the people above, and soon someone noticed the battle below and reported it to Li Chengye.

Li Chengye took a look and understood it. Thinking of the verbal dispute between himself and Qin Zhang in the palace, and remembering that he was taken away by the other party with nothing, and his face was humiliated. He had a new and old hatred for a while, and cursed:

"I should have killed him before I knew it!"

He raised his voice and called to the soldiers around him: "Bring the arrows!"

Even if he didn't adapt to the battlefield at first, after staying for so long, he has gradually become numb to blood and death.However, compared to chopping people with knives and guns, archery, an activity that was often carried out in hunting before, made him more cautious.

Li Chengye unloaded the bow on his back, bent the bow and set up an arrow, turned around towards the city, and aimed at Tan Jiuzhang under the city from a distance, and slowly pulled his arms away!

"Something's wrong."

Outside the city, Xia Yi narrowed his eyes, suddenly vigilant.

"Li Chengxiang raised his bow towards the city..."

Reminiscent of Tan Jiuzhang who didn't reply to him for a long time, he suddenly called the system in his mind: 【Is Assistant Tan in the city? !Tell him to be careful! 】

[Don't worry, I know. 】

The short message was sent before he could ask clearly.

It seems to be a tacit understanding.

[I said, I will welcome you into the city. ...my sire. 】

The man in the unicorn robe seemed to have eyes behind him, and turned around quickly at the moment when the feather arrow shot out!

"what!"

The screams came from the Baihukou that was restrained by Tan Jiuzhang.

A sharp arrow pierced his shoulder fiercely.

"Damn!"

Li Chengye cursed bitterly, and raised his bow again to try to aim at Tan Jiuzhang below.

However, the man under the city suddenly raised his head, found his figure accurately, and showed him a warm smile.

"!"

Li Chengye's heart trembled subconsciously, and the arrow in his hand could not be released in time.

Realizing that he was intimidated by the other party's eyes, he became angry from embarrassment, and immediately wanted to bow again in resentment.

However, before he could adjust the angle, the man in the red robe rushed down the city in a few steps, and then climbed up the city wall fiercely and quickly along the steep steps like a beast!

Li Chengye almost didn't react, but a commander next to him shouted for the soldiers to come and shoot arrows.

However, before the soldiers had assembled and showed their weapons, the uncle, who was obviously supposed to be pampered and unable to lift his hands, turned over with a kite and landed lightly on the top of the city, standing right in front of Li Chengye.

The latter hurriedly took a step back, while other soldiers shouted and besieged.

Tan Jiuzhang smiled, stretched out his hand and bent over neatly, swept his legs, punched, and dodged... A series of movements flashed past the chaotic attacks of those soldiers, and approached Li Chengye.

Then, after meeting each other, the long knife in Li Chengye's hand was disarmed by him like a useless toy.Then, he put the long knife on Li Chengye's neck with his backhand.

"Everyone, don't act rashly."

The man hooked the corner of his mouth, took a step back and let himself lean against the city wall, making sure his back was safe.

He used Li Chengye's body as a shield in front of him, and said to the soldiers who were facing the enemy with a leisurely expression:

"The emperor, the crown prince, and the seventh prince have all been captured. The other royal families have already fled. There is chaos outside. I don't know if they are still alive. The one in my hand is the last royal blood of Dasu. One can't make trouble... ..."

He smiled meaningfully.

The soldiers really didn't dare to act rashly.

Tan Jiuzhang nodded in satisfaction, and said to the one who seemed to have the highest status among the soldiers: "Stop shooting arrows down the city, and order the soldiers in the city to stop my family."

"……This is impossible."

Tan Jiuzhang exerted a little force on his hands, and a bloodstain immediately appeared on Li Chengye's neck.

"Your Highness!"

The commander screamed and had to grit his teeth and shout: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

"No!" Li Chengye's head was covered with cold sweat because of the threat to his life, but he tried to stop him, "Leave me alone! Defend the city!"

"Your Highness!" The commander struggled with pain on his face.

This scene was a little touching for a while.

But Tan Jiuzhang was not moved at all. He looked at the hesitant commander, and added more strength in his hands. The cold blade wedged a point into Li Chengye's neck, and the dark red blood slid down the blade, and soon became red. Li Chengye's skirt was removed.

No matter how righteous and awe-inspiring he was, the instinctive fear of death still prevented the prince from opening his mouth.

Tan Jiuzhang took the opportunity to smile at the commander.

"Think about it clearly. The five thousand troops in the capital are powerless to bring back the sky, and the city will be destroyed sooner or later. No matter how tightly you block the gates, a 20 army will be able to trap you to death. Of course you can listen to the Sixth Highness. Yes, continue to resist regardless of his life, and even shoot me to death together with him. But the result is still the city is broken, and the last royal blood of Dasu will disappear. Stop now, at least the sixth highness can save his life .”

The commander looked painful, but after hesitating in every possible way, he still gritted his teeth and conveyed the order according to Tan Jiuzhang's meaning.

The servants of the Xuanping Bo's Mansion were not hindered any more, and immediately moved quickly to move the sundries blocking the city gate.On the other side, the pressure on the rebels outside the city suddenly dropped, and they were a little confused for a while.

"Tan Nine Chapters!"

Only Xia Yi stared at the bright color of the unicorn robe on the top of the wall, fiercely spitting out his lover's name from between his teeth.

"You lunatic!"

Single-handedly hijacking Li Chengye... Do you think you are the protagonist in a blockbuster movie with a halo?

He was a little impatient, and shouted at his soldiers: "Speed ​​up the attack! Break through the city gate!"

"Yes!"

The rebels attacked the gate faster.

The people on the top of the city have also noticed this.

The sundries behind the city gate were gradually cleared away by the servants of Uncle Xuanping’s mansion, while the rebels outside used a ram to slam into the door. Judging from the increasing movement, the city gate might be knocked down soon. broken.

Li Chengye's expression was forbearing, and he suddenly shouted "Long live Dasu—" and then he leaned forward suddenly, and his whole body bumped into the blade on his neck!

"Your Highness!" the commander cried out in grief, his eyes tearing open.

However, the next moment, this tragic scene was mercilessly stopped——

Tan Jiuzhang used his hands to control Li Chengye's hands, pulling him back mercilessly like an eagle catching a chicken.

The blade brushed against the sixth prince's side face between the movements of the two, leaving a bloody gash.

"Want to die? I'm sorry, I want you to see with your own eyes how Dasu was completely breached."

Tan Jiuzhang lowered his voice and whispered in the other party's ear.

The moment he finished speaking, accompanied by a loud bang, cheers resounding through the sky suddenly came from under the city.

The city gate is broken.
