Chapter 76 Seven Generals

"Stop!" Seeing someone galloping in the dark, Li Hongsheng stopped his horse in the middle of the road.

This time when they went to Beijing, Li Hongsheng was always uneasy. During the years they guarded the border, the emperors of the two dynasties did not summon him to Beijing, which showed that they trusted him and these seven people.

In Li Hongsheng's heart, the old emperor is his reborn parents. If there is no old emperor, I'm afraid they will starve to death on the street.

After the old emperor passed away, the little emperor also loved him very much. Not only did he bestow favors on him, but he also called the seven of them brothers.

It is incumbent to guard the frontier for one's own brothers.

But this time, when he was summoned to Beijing, Li Hongsheng always felt that there was something weird about it.

This time, it was not the eunuch close to the emperor who delivered the decree, but a person he had never seen before.

From time to time, this person revealed a sense of superiority, and his intention was to immediately put down all military affairs in his hands and enter Beijing immediately.

Along the way, Li Hongsheng was very uneasy.

On the way to the capital, he met his other six brothers.

All six felt the same way.

According to the laws of the Great Qi State, the border guards should not bring more than three hundred soldiers with them when they enter the capital. Li Hongsheng surrounded him to show his sincerity and waited for more than a dozen followers. He drove back from the remote frontier quickly.

He also wanted to meet his emperor's younger brother.

However, just ten miles away from the capital, when the few of them stopped to rest, they met a person running fast in the dark night.

This person is Chen Fan.

Chen Fan stopped in his tracks and carefully looked at this man with a face full of wind and frost. This man was in his 40s, with dark skin, and he was riding on a horse, exuding a chilling aura.

Chen Fan didn't dare to delay. He didn't know whether the person blocking the way was an enemy or a friend, so he had to stop to see the situation.

"Who are you? Why did you come out of the capital in the middle of the night?" Li Hongsheng asked Chen Fan.

"I'm just an ordinary person. My daughter-in-law is sick and needs medicinal materials urgently. I have to go out of the city to collect some medicinal materials!" Chen Fan didn't dare to express his thoughts, so he had to make up a reason.

"Hehe, you don't even know how to lie. Where can you collect medicine like you, with a knife on your back? I think you are clearly a thief!" Li Hongqi, the second child, stared at Chen Fan with bright eyes.

Seeing that the situation was difficult to deal with, Chen Fan had no choice but to draw out the knife and stared at the seven people vigilantly.

"Be honest, we are not just seven people, look behind you!"

Chen Fan glanced back, and his scalp felt a little numb. Behind him, there was a row of soldiers stretching their crossbow arrows. Under the moonlight at night, the arrows were all glowing with blue light.

These crossbow bolts are definitely coated with highly poisonous poison!

Chen Fan could even smell the choking smell of poison on the arrow.

"In front of our seven brothers, I think you should not take chances, just tell the truth!"

Chen Fan didn't want to work for this country at all, so what if they were controlled by the Eight Sects of Spring and Autumn?The relationship with Chen Fan is really not that great.

Chen Fan thought of this, he took out the jade pendant from his arms, and said, "I was ordered to intercept people, the emperor told me to prevent them from entering Beijing!"

Chen Fan didn't say anything about the following things, about the tiger talisman, about the deployment of troops, he was afraid that all the people in this group were from all ages!

After seeing this jade pendant, Li Hongsheng's eyes brightened, because he was most familiar with this jade pendant, there was an identical thing on his body, and his six brothers had this jade pendant just like him.

However, the only strange thing is that this jade pendant should have been brought to the mausoleum with the death of the old emperor, how could it appear on this young man.

"Tell me, where did you get this thing?" Li Hongsheng couldn't bear it. What if the emperor's things were stolen or something happened to the emperor's mausoleum?
They didn't go to the capital because tonight, the situation in the capital was a little strange. It was very quiet, and it was so quiet that it was scary.

"The old emperor gave it to me, what's the matter?"

"Impossible. His Majesty the Emperor died a long time ago. Now that the crown prince is ruling, how could it possibly appear in your hands?" Li Hongsheng lowered his voice and asked in a low voice.

This jade pendant is a royal secret, how could it appear in Chen Fan's hands?

Hearing this, Chen Fan understood that the seven people in front of him should be the seven people he was looking for.

"Did you come back from the frontier?" Chen Fan asked tentatively.

"That's right, I am the governor of Fancheng, Li Hongsheng!"

Chen Fan involuntarily took three steps back. Li Hongsheng's strength was not inferior to his own.

"The seven of you are the seven generals sent by His Majesty the old emperor to the frontier, right?" Chen Fan asked.

"Yes, how do you know about the seven of us going to Beijing?"

The seven of Li Hongsheng didn't understand that this Chen Fan, dressed as an ordinary person, could recognize the seven of them!
"Just find you, the emperor wants me to give you this jade pendant, so that you don't enter the capital!" Just after Chen Fan finished speaking, he heard the sound of commotion and chaos in the capital. The place was still on fire.

"It seems that they have made a move!" Chen Fan said to himself.

"What's going on? What happened to the capital?" Li Hongsheng became anxious now, he couldn't watch his capital be destroyed.

"I have something to tell you. The old emperor is not dead, nor is the national teacher. The current situation is that the little emperor is under house arrest, and any orders issued are done under the persecution of others. Now These people have already taken control of the capital, and they are waiting for you to enter the capital, and then they will kill you!" Chen Fan told the seven people what he knew.

Although the current situation is that these seven people are skeptical and dare not directly make up their minds, after all, these things are too terrifying.

The two people who have been dead for 30 years are still alive, and the little emperor has also disappeared. Who are the people in the city?

"The old emperor asked me to give this to you, and let you go to the Gyeonggi garrison camp to transfer troops and go back to rescue him!" Chen Fan took out the tiger amulet, and Li Hongsheng completely believed Chen Fan's words.

Li Hongsheng took the Tiger Talisman, and said to the remaining six people: "Lao Qi, take our soldiers and rush to the city gate quickly, you six, follow me to dispatch troops!"

As expected of a general who has been leading troops outside, Li Hongsheng made arrangements in the shortest possible time, and then rode his horse to the Gyeonggi Garrison Camp.
