Chapter 1737 The Rain Is About to Come and the Wind Is Full of the Building!

Chapter 1737

Wang Chong didn't speak, but slowly closed his eyes.

The capital has the theory of outer gates and inner gates. The inner gates are the four gates of the imperial palace, and the outer gates are the nine gates of the capital. Controlling the outer gates controls the traffic in and out of the capital, while the inner gates... have long been established in Da Under the control of the prince.

"Has it finally started?"

Wang Chong secretly said in his heart.

Before, the eldest prince used the name of the regent to control the inner sect. It was still within his scope of authority and would not attract too many people's attention, but no matter what, the eldest prince still had some scruples. Will not start with the outside door.

After all, the merchants and people who come in and out of the outer gate every day are busy, countless, and extremely eye-catching. If they are too visible, they will even attract criticism and impeachment from the ministers of the DPRK and China. However, the current eldest prince seems to have completely ignored these things, and has no scruples at all.

More importantly, for Wang Chong, the moment the first prince completely controlled the outer gate, it meant that he could no longer suppress his ambition and was ready to start his conspiracy!

"Is there any other movement?"

Wang Chong asked.

"Not yet. After the First Prince controlled the outer door, there was no other action for the time being. However, the First Prince has summoned the city defense department and the leaders of the city guards in the morning, and has replaced them all. In addition..."

Xu Keyi hesitated at this point, hesitatingly said:

"Just received the news that Zhao Fengchen was seriously injured and unable to continue to lead the Xuanwu Army on the grounds that the Forbidden Army has temporarily deprived him of his commanding position and replaced him with someone else temporarily!"

Wang Chong remained silent, his mind was racing one after another.

With the relationship between Zhao Fengchen and himself, it is impossible for the First Prince to keep him, and with his serious injuries, his inability to continue leading the Xuanwu Army is the best reason.

As for the City Defense Division and the City Guard Army, both are important forces in the city, although their combat effectiveness is not strong, and they are usually mainly responsible for maintaining order in the capital. But in essence, it is still an army, and it can still play some role at critical moments. With the personality of the eldest prince, it is impossible to keep them still.

"knew."

a long time,

Wang Chong finally opened his eyes and said:

"You go out."

"yes!"

Xu Keyi bowed and saluted, and left quickly.

And not long after he left, Wang Chong also stood up, a gust of cold wind poured in from the window, Wang Chong turned his head, and through the open window, he saw dark clouds hanging down in the capital, giving people an extremely oppressive feeling.

The mountain and the rain were about to come and the wind filled the building. Although there was calm outside the window, no matter whether it was Wang Chong, the First Prince, or many aristocratic families, everyone knew that all this would not last long.

"It's time to go out!"

Wang Chong secretly said in his heart.

A moment later, Wang Chong opened the door and quickly walked out from the foreign palace.

"My lord!"

Seeing Wang Chong leave, a group of Jinwu guards quickly gathered behind Wang Chong in all directions.

"You all go down, I want to walk alone."

Wang Chong waved his hand, and after saying this, he disappeared into the crowd outside by himself.

The street was peaceful. Wang Chong walked along the street and saw an old man, a child, and a woman passing by. The woman had a smile on her face, and the child was happily playing with the paper pinwheel in her hand. It was a kind old man, and everyone was completely unaware of the coming storm.

And farther away, the steam is rising, the sellers of meat buns, butchers, candied haws, and the sellers carrying loads..., the shouts are intertwined, everyone is focused, immersed in their own lives Among them, they were all ignorant of the upcoming crises and even greater catastrophes.

Although it was not the first time Wang Chong had seen this scene, the feeling in his heart was completely different at this time.

Once upon a time, I was just an unknown "spectator", powerless to do anything, but now, unknowingly, I have stood in that position, the fate of everyone, including the safety of the empire, is in my own hands. Even for those ordinary and fulfilling faces, for those ignorant smiling faces, I must do my best to protect this empire.

This thought flashed through Wang Chong's mind, and he felt that some places in his heart were slowly becoming solid.

Looking at a small vendor selling candied haws on the side of the road, Wang Chong's heart moved, he walked over suddenly, and said with a slight smile:

"Please give me a candied haws."

In the past, Wang Chong would never buy these small things when passing through these places, but for some reason, at this moment, Wang Chong really wanted to taste the candied haws, to feel the ordinary people who had become so precious to him. Life.

"ah!"

Seeing Wang Chong in front of him, the man was slightly taken aback, but quickly reacted, took a candied haws from the shelf, and handed it over:

"Young master, here it is!"

Wang Chong smiled slightly, took the stick of candied haws, threw down an ingot of silver, and walked forward quickly.

Walking aimlessly all the way, shuttling through the streets and alleys of the capital, I don't know how long it took. When Wang Chong stopped, he opened his eyes and found that he had unknowingly arrived at a familiar place. .

Qingfeng Tower!

Not far from the side of the street, a building stands tall, and the three familiar words on the huge plaque come into view. This is the place where Wang Chong sold his first Uzi steel sword.

To some extent, this is the starting point for Wang Chong to change the fate of the entire empire after his rebirth. It was by virtue of Qingfeng Tower's fighting swords that everyone in the world saw the power of Uzis steel swords. Since then, Wang Chong has accumulated a lot of wealth from these Uzis steel weapons, and prepared to build Wushang Iron Cavalry for himself in the future. Building the city of steel in Erhai Lake, including the purchase of war horses from the Eastern and Western Turks, laid the foundation for the formation of cavalry.

But now, on the eve of this great change in the empire, he unexpectedly came here again without knowing it.

"Shopkeeper, bring me a cup of tea!"

Wang Chong suddenly turned around, stepped into the restaurant, and once again came to the second floor of Qingfeng Tower where he hung his sword and sold it.

It was very quiet in Qingfeng Building, there was no one else except Wang Chong.

"Young people are really very elegant. They are almost in prison, and they are still interested in enjoying the beautiful scenery here. Are you recalling the time when you first tried to sing and became famous all over the world?"

I don't know how long it took, and accompanied by the sound of the stairs, an old voice came from behind, the voice was leisurely, showing a sense of calmness.

Suddenly, the restaurant was quiet, even the voices of the shopkeeper and the waiter disappeared.

"You came!"

Wang Chong looked forward, flicked his sleeves, and said with his hands behind his back, without even moving his feet.

"Hehe, you don't seem surprised at all."

At the stairway behind, the man was dressed in a black robe, approached slowly, and it was Hou Junji!

Right now, the entire capital is on the verge of swords and swords, countless soldiers and horses are on the move, and there is an atmosphere of black clouds overwhelming the city, and everything is because of the two people in front of them.

However, who would have imagined that at such a sensitive moment, the core figures of the two parties who are hostile to each other would appear in this small Qingfeng Building at the same time.

"Why should you be surprised? Didn't you ask me out?"

Wang Chong said calmly, his expression was unusually calm, as if nothing in this world could shake his state of mind.

"oh?"

Hearing these words, a strange look flashed in Hou Junji's eyes, then he walked forward, and finally stopped not far behind Wang Chong.

"Where do these words come from? The old man and you didn't have the slightest word, or did Jin Youshi send you some news behind the old man's back?"

"The saber has been unsheathed, it is hanging high on the top, but it has not yet fallen, so I have something to say, or maybe I am wrong, and the senior didn't mean it?"

Wang Chong said lightly with his hands behind his back.

Although he said so, Wang Chong's expression was clear and determined.

The eldest prince has already controlled the imperial army, and also controlled the three frontier guards of Anxi, Beiting, and Beidou, but after controlling the outer city gate, he did not make the slightest move. This move may not be obvious to others, but to Wang Chong, it is already a clear signal.

There is a person who controls all the soldiers and horses of the First Prince, but before the decisive battle, he wants to ask himself out for a while.

"good!"

Hou Junji took a deep look at the young man in front of him, and nodded slightly:

"Now I finally understand why Su Zhengchen made an exception and accepted you as a disciple in his twilight years after decades with Su Zhengchen's personality of being above the top!"

For Wang Chong, Hou Junji always had a slight hostility, but so far, this was Hou Junji's highest evaluation of Wang Chong.

"Remember our previous agreement?"

Hou Junji smiled slightly, and continued:

"Until now, do you still think that the fifth prince can ascend to the Ninth Five?"

"Until the last moment, it can't be said that the dust has settled. It's still unknown who will win the battle. Don't seniors think it's too early to say these things?"

Wang Chong flicked his sleeves and finally turned around.

The moment the two looked at each other, hum, there was silence in the restaurant, and even the air seemed to freeze.

Hou Junji in front of him was dressed in a black robe, and looked like a most ordinary old man with no strength to restrain a chicken, but no one knew better than Wang Chong that this old man in front of him posed an unprecedented threat and destruction to the entire empire However, whether it was the Sunset Palace incident or the Beidou City incident, including the Big Buddha Temple incident earlier and the recent Forbidden Army Contest, they were all written by the other party.

And all this is far from over, the old man in front of him is far from releasing the terrifying destructive power in his heart that belongs to the God of War.

"Haha, it's already this time, are you still refusing to admit defeat? Let your master come out! If he doesn't come out again, I'm afraid he won't have a chance!"

Hou Junji's eyes flickered for a moment, and the last sentence revealed his real purpose of coming to see Wang Chong this time:
