This night is destined to be uneven.

At Zishi, in Chong'an Square, Wuhou, who was watching the night, was knocked unconscious from behind. A man in black night clothes found the key to the gate of the workshop from him, walked quickly to the gate, opened the door, and beckoned outside. wave.

A small group of people also dressed in black night clothes walked in one after another with swift steps, and the last four carried two large buckets.During the whole process, there was no noise other than the sound of thin footsteps.

All the families in the square were asleep, the lights were dark and the moon was covered by dark clouds, the only source of light was the lantern that Marquis Wu had dropped on the ground.

The leading man in black turned his head and gestured to those following him, who nodded in understanding.The person who carried the barrel opened the lid of the barrel and sprinkled the oil inside along the foot of the house.The rest of the people took out the fire folders and lit the fire together after the oil was poured.

One of the people pouring oil seemed to feel something was wrong. He touched the remaining liquid on the wall of the barrel with his hand, and when he was about to smell it, he suddenly saw the surrounding fire brightly.

"General Liu, you are safe and sound." A middle-aged man in armor asked leisurely. Behind him, a dozen soldiers with torches stood in two rows. I can see shadows of people.

The oil-sprinkling soldiers didn't recognize this person, but the leader, General Liu Wu, did recognize him, and it was General Zuo Wuwei, Qu Hao, who came.

Liu Wu was shocked. Qu Hao clearly came prepared. Could it be that their secret operation was seen through tonight?

He hastily turned around and wanted to retreat, but he saw that torches were also lit in the rear, and a young general folded his arms and smiled, cutting off their retreat.

"What are you still doing in a daze! Light it up, light it up!" Liu Wu knew that it was impossible to be good this time, and desperately urged his subordinates.

"General, general, it's water!" the little soldier tremblingly said, he just realized that the smell of the things poured out of the bucket was not right, and the two large barrels of oil were replaced with water at some point.

Liu Wu couldn't believe it, or he didn't want to believe it.Frantically, he threw himself on the ground, tore open the lantern, picked up the candle, and threw it where the oil had been spilled.The candle rolled twice and fell to the wet wall, and the flame was extinguished instantly.

It's over, it's over... Rebellion is to punish the nine clans...

Liu Wu sat on the ground with staring eyes staring blankly for a moment, then suddenly rolled over and hugged Qu Hao's leg, crying bitterly, begging: "Zheng Wei forced me! He forced it all! I have always been loyal to His Majesty, Zheng Wei gave me an order, I have no choice but to put on a show. I didn't think about rebelling, really! I beg you to give me a way out, please!"

The little soldiers he led also dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Qu Hao pushed Liu Wu's hand away with the scabbard, and said to him with a fake smile: "I can't be the master of this, you should save these words and tell your majesty."

After finishing speaking, he waved to his opponent and ordered: "Take them all away!"

The subordinates shouted "yes" in unison, stepped forward and bound Liu Wu's group one by one, led them out of the workshop gate in a row.

Chong'an Square regained its tranquility, and the Wuhou who fell on the ground was also carried to Wuhou's shop on the corner of the street.The soldiers came and went quietly, and the sleeping people didn't know that just now, they had walked before the gate of hell.

At the same time, in several other districts, Zheng Wei's accomplices who were wearing night clothes and tried to set fire were also arrested one by one.

……

Zheng Wei led people to ambush outside the palace, waiting for the fire in the city to act.According to his vision, the city would be in chaos just to put out the fire, and most of the imperial guards who did not participate in his rebellion would be dispatched.

Putting out the fire, arranging the wounded, arresting the arsonist... These things are enough to restrain the imperial guards for a whole night, and he can lead people into the palace in the name of protecting His Majesty, and no one will doubt him.Those generals saw that someone was guarding the palace, so they would stay in the city to prevent the panicked people from creating chaos. By the time they realized it, the dragon chair had changed hands!

Zheng Wei made a good plan, but he waited and waited. Almost an hour has passed since the agreed time, and there is still no fire.

"Boss, we won't be discovered..." Zheng Wei asked a subordinate next to him.Except for the more than 500 people who were sent to set the fire, this time Zheng Wei placed a total of more than [-] guards inside and outside the palace. Among these people, there were less than [-] confidants who knew Zheng Wei's true purpose, and this person was one of them.

He was a little timid at first, but only after hearing what Zheng Wei said so confidently, he reluctantly persuaded himself to follow Zheng Wei.

Think of him as a centurion, and he is not at the border, so there is no chance to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. Unexpectedly, there is no chance to be a general in this life.

But if Zheng Wei's rebellion succeeds, it will be different!At that time, he will be the hero of the founding of the country, and he will enjoy endless glory and wealth.

He thought so, and the rest of the people who knew the inside story basically thought the same way.Everyone only thinks about what will happen after success, and they dare not think about what will happen if they fail, because it is too heavy for people to bear.

However, the current incident made him somewhat unable to hypnotize himself.There was an accident at the first step of the rebellion, it was a bad start...

Zheng Wei was also a little flustered, but he was different from these people. These people still had a way out. As long as they disbanded on the spot, no one would know that they had participated in this conspiracy.He was different. If the people sent to set the fire had been caught, it meant that the other party had already seen his intentions, so even if he went back home now, it would not end well.

Left and right are dead, it is better to give it a go!

"Don't wait, let's go!" Zheng Wei gave an order, leading the crowd into the palace, shouting loudly to catch the assassin.

The guards he arranged in the palace didn't know why, and they really thought that an assassin had entered the palace, only to hear Zheng Wei gathered people together and dispatched: "Your team is going to search Hanyuan Hall, Chengqing Hall and Anren Hall, how many of you are there?" One will go to the Royal Garden, and the rest of you will go to the Hongwen Museum, you, you and you will lead the team to protect the empresses of the palaces. If you..."

Zheng Wei glanced at his confidant, and said: "Your Majesty will be staying in the Qiankun Palace tonight, you take someone to invite the Queen Mother here, so that you can concentrate on protecting her."

The confidant got the order, and brought more than a hundred people to Jing'an Palace where the Queen Mother lived, and Zheng Wei personally took the rest of the confidants to Qiankun Palace to "protect the emperor".

Empress Dowager Chen was awakened by the noise outside the palace, she called Chen Mingxi and asked, "What's going on outside?"

Chen Mingxi also just got up, wearing a white underwear and only a coat, hurried out to take a look, and came back and said: "It seems to be to catch an assassin."

"The arrest of the assassin made such a big commotion..." After all, the Empress Dowager Chen was an old man in the palace, and soon realized that something was wrong, "Where did they go, where is Zheng Wei?"

"There are people going to all the palaces. I just saw that Commander Zheng seems to be going in the direction of Qiankun Palace. I think he is going to protect His Majesty..."

Chen Mingxi was interrupted by the Empress Dowager Chen before she finished speaking, her voice was anxious and angry: "What are you protecting His Majesty, he is rebelling! Quickly help me up, you guys go and close the palace gate, quick!"

It was too late, and a strange man's voice sounded outside the house: "Assassins have entered the palace, and I was ordered to invite the Queen Mother to go with me to the Qiankun Hall to hide."

"Who are you? What's the point of yelling in Jing'an Palace in the middle of the night? If you disturb the Empress Dowager, can you bear it?" Chen Mingxi knew the situation was critical after hearing what the Empress Dowager Chen said. Even though she was afraid, she still gathered her spirits Deal with people.

"The humble position is Xu Zhong, the centurion under Commander Zheng. He worried about the safety of the Queen Mother and had to disturb the Queen Mother's purity. Commander Zheng has led a heavy army to guard the Qiankun Palace to protect His Majesty. He really can't spare people to come to Jing'an Palace. He is worried that assassins will take advantage of it. I am specially ordered to invite the Queen Mother to go to Qiankun Hall."

"According to what you said, it must be very dangerous outside. There is still some distance to go to Qiankun Palace. What if something happens along the way?" Chen Mingxi was delaying time while calling in a low voice to the eunuchs and maids in the bedroom to bring things. Hold against the gate of the palace.

"I will wait for the Queen Mother to be safe, and please leave as soon as possible!" Xu Zhong lost his patience and began to knock on the door.

Empress Dowager Chen got dressed, sat in the hall and said loudly: "What if the Ai family insists on not going?"

Xu Zhong replied: "Then don't blame the humble job for being rude!"

The gate of the palace can only be used for a while, originally there should be a guard to rescue him within this time, but now the guard has become a traitor, so this door is just a layer of paper that will be broken sooner or later.

Not long after, the doors and windows were broken from the outside, and Xu Zhong and his men entered the hall.Xu Zhong slashed to death the little eunuch who wanted to stop him, and walked in front of the Queen Mother Chen with blood all over amidst the screams of the maids.

"Does the Empress Dowager need a humble job to help you?"

Empress Dowager Chen stood up with a cold face: "The Ai family will not be frightened by this little change."

Chen Mingxi supported the Queen Mother's outstretched hand. She had already pretended to be calm enough, but she was still a little worse than the Queen Mother Chen, so she had to try not to look at the corpses on the ground, and not to think about these father-in-laws a few hours ago. He also talked to her, and followed the queen mother towards Qiankun Hall with a white face.

The situation in the Qiankun Palace is slightly better than that in Jing'an Palace. When the Empress Dowager Chen and the others arrived, Luo Jinhe's bodyguards were fighting with Zheng Wei's men in front of the palace. The gate of the palace was open, and Luo Jinhe was standing inside. Looking at Zheng Wei at the bottom of the steps.

"The queen is late." Xu Zhong stepped forward to report.

Zheng Wei shifted his gaze from Luo Jinhe to Empress Dowager Chen, and turned between Empress Dowager Chen and Chen Mingxi.

"Hey, isn't this the Empress Dowager Chen..." Zheng Wei bit the word "Chen" deliberately, "I thought the Chen family was so powerful, why did the Empress Dowager fall to such a state?"

Empress Dowager Chen sneered, but remained silent.

"As expected of the Queen Mother, you can still laugh when you are about to die!" Zheng Wei has suffered too much from Empress Dowager Chen these days, and today is finally a good reincarnation, and it is time for him to mock Queen Mother Chen.

It's a pity that the Empress Dowager Chen is not him. After being ridiculed, not only did she not show any anger, but she came back with a smile: "Do you think that if you killed the Ai family and the emperor, it will be your turn to take the throne? My elder brother Ping Xiang Wang stationed troops in Huakang, only one day away from the capital; Dingnan King and Zhengxi King are far away. Once you kill the emperor, they will attack the capital under the banner of revenge for the king. Even if you have [-] forbidden troops They can't last a few days under the attack from three sides..."

"Shut up!" Zheng Wei was slapped severely by the Empress Dowager Chen when she felt guilty.

A ray of blood spilled from the corner of Empress Dowager Chen's mouth. Chen Mingxi looked at her worriedly, but saw her raise her hand to wipe it casually, and laughed out loud.

"The incompetent bastard also wants to become the emperor, it's really ridiculous hahahaha!"

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Zheng Wei slapped the Empress Dowager Chen several times in a row. Chen Mingxi wanted to step forward to cover the Empress Dowager Chen, but was held down by the shoulders and could not move. Just as she was in a hurry, she suddenly Seeing the direction of the palace gate on the side, a man with a long | gun was walking towards him step by step. At the man's feet, many rebels had already fallen.

"Princess Leping!" Chen Mingxi blurted out.Zheng Wei turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw Luo Fengxin wearing silver armor, holding her famous soul-breaking gun.There were many soldiers squatting densely on the palace wall behind her, each holding a bow and arrow, pulling the bowstring, waiting for her order.

The more than [-] imperial guards who had been sent by Zheng Weizhi to catch the assassins also began to realize the strange situation, and gradually approached the Qiankun Palace, holding their knives between Luo Fengxin and Zheng Wei.

"Luo Fengxin led the troops to force the palace to rebel, take it down quickly!" Zheng Wei shouted first.

Luo Fengxin sternly said: "The thief is calling for the thief! Both Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have been hijacked by Zheng Wei. It is clear at a glance who is the traitor!"

The guards looked at Luo Fengxin who was approaching step by step, and then looked back at Zheng Wei's subordinates who were fighting with Luo Jin and the bodyguards, with a hesitant look on their faces.

Zheng Wei knew that he was going to suffer as soon as he saw it, so he hurriedly said loudly to the guards: "You have been following me for a long time, and now the glory and wealth are close at hand! Everyone has a part in the rebellion today, and it is too late to surrender now. Luo Jin and It is in my hands, as long as Luo Fengxin is taken down, and when I ascend the throne, you can all be promoted to rank!"

The guards were about to turn against the water, but after hearing what he said, many people felt that it made sense, and hesitated for a while, standing in place holding the knife and staring at Luo Fengxin vigilantly.

They could drag it, but Luo Jin and the others couldn't.Although he has increased the number of personal guards today, in order not to arouse Zheng Wei's vigilance, the number is still small. Against Zheng Wei's rebels, the guards will be able to draw with one enemy by virtue of their martial arts skills. In the long run, there is bound to be a loss. If Luo Fengxin's side continues to stalemate, Luo Jinhe's life will be in danger.

Luo Fengxin saw that, no longer arguing with Zheng Wei about who is the rebel, the two thousand or so guards sandwiched between them will not care about this issue at this time, these people are now in an awkward situation, as long as whoever can gain the upper hand, they will Who will fall to.

She swung the soul-severing spear horizontally, and raised her voice: "I have heard for a long time that the ancestors of the Zheng family have mastered the thunder-bending saber technique. I don't know how much success is left in your generation. Commander Zheng dares to fight me?"

Zheng Wei also knew that if he showed his timidity now, his [-] or so subordinates would turn their swords around in an instant, and he had to fight this battle.Although he lost against Luo Fengxin several times before, it may not be because of Luo Fengxin's sneak attack first. Now that the battle is open and honest, he doesn't believe that he, the commander of the imperial army, will not be able to defeat a woman!

He pulled out his saber, and licked the tip of the knife with his tongue. His gaze, like a poisonous snake, was cold and sticky, moving from Luo Fengxin's face to his chest and then to the tip of the spear.

"I heard that there is a rumor in the northern border that Princess Leping can defeat a million soldiers with a single shot. Today, Mr. Zheng came to ask for advice!"

The author has something to say: the army numbers are all made up by me, and they do not conform to the division of labor of these armies in history, so you don’t need to study carefully~
