After dressing as a widow

Qin Ziwen and Wei San could see clearly that the Lizhou army was brave and good at fighting under the banner of rescue, and the Beijing army was no match for them at all, and they were retreating steadily.

The two saw a familiar figure on a horse. Wei San and Gu Lin had only met each other on a boat. Qin Ziwen had secretly sent letters to Gu Lin over the years. state.

His original intention was to ask Gu Lin about the battle between Lizhou and Che Luoguo. If he had spare energy, he would dispatch some troops and his own private soldiers hidden in Lizhou to return to Beijing quietly. Some courtiers loyal to the country quelled the chaos as soon as possible.

Only by solving internal problems can we free up our hands to deal with external problems.

Qin Ziwen didn't expect that Gu Lin would come in person, even in the name of rescue with great fanfare.

Riding on the horse, Gu Lin seemed to notice the gazes of the two of them, and looked in the direction where they were hiding. Qin Ziwen simply appeared with Wei San: "Lord Gu."

Gu Lin who was riding on the horse nodded: "My lord."

"The gate of the palace has been closed for several days. I don't know if the emperor's dragon body is healthy. The prince also entered the palace. How about it?"

Qin Ziwen's heart moved, and he said: "Because of emotion and reason, this king should go to the palace to see the emperor."

As he said that, he got on a horse that was originally ridden by the Beijing army and now has no owner. The hand holding the rein was sweating for some reason.

Looking at Gu Lin, and the sergeant behind Gu Lin, he felt that the world had been turned upside down, and it was all in today.

Lizhou is too close to the capital, and as the highest official in Lizhou and Jingzhou, he also leads [-] frontier troops. After careful calculation, he can use at least [-] or [-] troops.

He who claims to be well versed in the number of people, really did not expect this day to come?

Wei San also followed, looking at the armor, horses, and weapons in the hands of the Lizhou sergeant, his eyes flashed strangely.

Having been in the army for several years, he knows very well what is going on in the army. It is absolutely impossible for such an elite soldier to be raised by the imperial court with money and food. Master Gu, who holds such a heavy army, returns to Beijing this time——

The 2 horses brought by Gu Lin were like a drop of water, splashing into the oil pan in Kyoto, relying on the Beijing army to guard the palace gates, and even the dragon robes were sent to be made by Prince Xuan, who suddenly heard someone come to report that Lizhou When the army came, they also claimed to save them, and those who stopped them would be killed without mercy.

Prince Xuan only managed to turn his head pretending to be the throne, before realizing the word Lizhou Army.

He asked the people beside him: "Lizhou Army? Lizhou has an army?"

The person beside him choked up for a moment, looking at Prince Xuan, who was not pretending to be stupid, but who really didn't know, and said, "My lord, Gu Lin, the governor of Lizhou last year, repelled the army of Che Luoguo, and was named Mingwei by the emperor." General, in addition to leaving the state, lead Jingzhou."

"Oh, this king remembered, there is such a thing."

"He's a little magistrate, and he's using the name of rescue, who gave him the courage."

"Besides, the emperor is in the palace well, so how could he need his rescue, pass on the king's words, let that Mr. Gu stay where he is immediately, and punish him for treason against his orders."

"Yes." The person who came to report quickly stood up, ran between the Jing army who was fighting with the Lizhou army, and relayed what Prince Xuan had said to the commander of the Jing army.

The commander of the Beijing army was not optimistic. He looked at the Lizhou sergeant who had driven them here from the gate of the city, and asked someone to convey Prince Xuan's words to Gu Lin's ears.

Gu Lin, who was riding at the front, listened to the words from the Beijing army, and said in a deep voice: "I am here only to save you, and I will personally accept the crime after seeing the Holy One."

He waved the thorn in his hand, "If you wait to prevent this official from entering the palace, you will be offended."

"kill--"

The thorns in his hands were heavy and sharp, and his body became an empty area. The black horse's fur showed a dark red, and the blood dripped down. The strong smell of blood made the horse bear it. Can't stop sniffing.

The Beijing army retreated faster and faster, and suddenly broke up and completely gave up resistance.

Gu Lin did not ask his subordinates to chase and kill the scattered Beijing army, but went straight to the palace gate.

The sound of horseshoes sounded like thunder, and they knocked on the floor tiles with a crisp and frightening sound. Soon, Gu Lin brought [-] people to the gate of the palace.

This is the third time Gu Lin stood at the gate of the palace.

For the first time, he took part in the palace examination, and he became the number one scholar, and he was granted the title of magistrate of Lizhou.

The second time was last year, when he returned to Beijing to report on his duties. After he was named General Mingwei and the prefect of Jingzhou, he spoke about his marriage with Uncle Lin in court.

This is the third time.

Dayu established the dynasty for more than a hundred years, and the current palace is an extension of the palace of the previous dynasty. It is majestic and majestic.

But more than 100 years have passed, and the tall city wall also looks old, like an old man in his dying years, bending over and lingering on his last breath.

Gu Lin looked at the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes who was standing on the city wall with a look of horror, and repeatedly ordered the Beijing army to fight him to the death. His face was expressionless.

He raised his hand and ordered the sergeant to step back a little, held up the banner of rescue, and let the sergeant who had practiced throwing come forward.

Qin Ziwen and Wei San looked at these unarmed, round-armed, and powerful soldiers, wondering what Gu Lin meant.

The next moment, under Gu Lin's order, they saw these soldiers igniting the things in their hands and throwing them at the palace wall.

"Boom—" One sound after another sounded, the sky was full of dust, the originally pure sky became gray, and screams and terrified voices came.

Qin Ziwen and Wei San both looked at the small pillar that was thrown again, and they both held the reins tightly in their hands.

This is explosives.

Last year, someone in the court mentioned this thing that appeared in Lizhou, but Gu Lin guarded it tightly, and the others didn't know who made it, and they didn't know how to do it.

Immediately afterwards, Lizhou and Pingzhou were invaded by Che Luoguo and Yanguo, and this matter was even more suppressed.

After all, none of them had seen explosives with their own eyes. They only heard what Bao Mo said, but Bao Mo also heard what the sergeant in Lizhou said. Who knows whether it is true or not.

However, at this moment, Qin Ziwen and Wei San felt some real fear from the depths of their hearts.

In just two hours, the Beijing army guarding the palace gate was defeated. Relying on the Beijing army, Prince Xuan, who was only one step away from the position above the ten thousand people, was tied up and brought to Gu Lin.

Gu Lin's gaze didn't even fall on Prince Xuan, he just rode his horse and said, "Enter the palace."

Prince Xuan, who was stunned by the explosives, was disheveled and disheveled. He shook all over and cursed at Gu Lin: "Gu Lin, you, a foreign minister, brought soldiers and horses to Beijing without Zhao. It is a treasonous crime, and it is a great crime to punish the nine clans!"

"Quickly let me go!"

There was still the lingering smell of gunpowder in the air, mixed with the smell of blood, which was really not a pleasant smell.

But this kind of smell inexplicably makes people's back tight. The sergeant who followed Gu Lin was actually a little confused. They looked at the banner of rescue, and then at the captured Prince Xuan, all their eyes fell on Gu Lin.

All the people in the army respected Gu Lin. He was like a character in a storybook. He had never been defeated so far. He led them into the court of King Che Luo at an incredible speed, and captured the Khan and prince of Che Luo Kingdom alive.

For these sergeants, Gu Lin is the biggest official they can come into contact with. This official is also very capable. He not only feeds them, but also leads them to win battles. He has no other thoughts.

Gu Lin asked some soldiers to clean up the remaining Beijing troops in the palace, and took Qin Ziwen and Wei San to the palace where Qin Zhong lived.

The sound of explosives at the palace gate, let alone the entire palace, was heard by everyone in Kyoto, especially the nobles next to the palace. They almost thought that thunder was coming from the blue sky and the sun was setting, killing those princes who used Kyoto as a battlefield.

Originally scattered everywhere, the Beijing army controlling the palace realized that there was a change, and they all regarded Qin Zhong as the last life-saving talisman.

However, Gu Lin was no longer a vegetarian, and he dealt with everyone neatly, stepped on the stumped limbs all over the ground, and bowed his hands to the palace gate: "My minister, Gu Lin, came late for rescue, I hope the emperor will forgive me."

The sound of things being smashed came from the hall that was in a mess, and the clothes were a little messy. The eunuch who often followed Qin Zhong with a disheveled face leaned against the window and looked out cautiously. Yuan's Gu Lin, instead of the ferocious Prince Xuan, trotted up to Gu Lin with his robe in hand, and knelt down firmly: "Master Gu!"

"Master Gu, you have come to rescue me, but it's okay, I think it's okay, the servant thought..."

As he said that, the eunuch wiped his tears with the corner of his clothes, looking very moved.

Qin Ziwen asked him: "How is the emperor, is the dragon body still okay?"

Only then did the inner eunuch see Qin Ziwen and Wei San, glanced at them all, thought for a while and said, "Please Mr. Gu and the prince come into the hall to talk."

Gu Lin and Qin Ziwen followed, the inner eunuch closed the door, and led them to the dragon bed. After stepping into the bedroom, the two of them smelled an indescribable smell, which made Gu Lin, who has always loved cleanliness, slightly wrinkled. Lower your brow.

When the inner eunuch lifted the curtain to reveal Qin Zhong on the dragon bed, the two of them knew where the smell was coming from.

I saw Qin Zhong, the former Ninth Five-Year Supreme, the emperor who held the power of the world, lying there with his mouth a little crooked, with saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth from time to time, and the quilt covering him was also a little dirty.

The mouth is crooked, but Qin Zhong, who is still thinking normally, saw that it was Gu Lin and Qin Ziwen, not Prince Xuan who he loves but forced the palace. ..."

It's hard to say anything, but both Gu Lin and Qin Ziwen could hear Qin Zhong's hatred for Prince Xuan, wishing to cut him to pieces.

Gu Lin clasped his hands, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, because Prince Xuan led the Beijing army to guard the palace gate, he refused to open the palace gate after several times of persuasion by the minister, and asked the minister to confirm the emperor's safety. Now he is brought to the palace by his servants."

"I am late to save you, I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Qin Zhong had a ferocious expression on his face, he opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly he couldn't catch his breath, and his complexion suddenly turned pale.

The inner eunuch was so frightened that he hurriedly yelled, "Call the imperial physician!"

The eunuchs and maids who were hiding in the dark saw that the situation had calmed down a bit, and the Beijing army who had been doing bad things in the palace had dispersed, they fumbled out, and rushed to the imperial hospital when they heard the eunuch's words.
