Chapter 2033: Linghu's Helpless Choice

How could the gate of the palace be breached? Such a thing has not happened in the past hundreds of years. In the hearts of all people, the palace can be said to be a sacred existence. Not to mention breaking through the gate there, it is very happy to take a look at it from a distance , but now it turned out that the rebel army has captured the first location. It can be said that the rebel army has no foothold in the entire city. If five minutes ago, everyone would have chosen to support the royal family without hesitation. Because they feel that the army of the Linghu family has no hope of winning, but now the army of the Linghu family has broken through the gate of the palace with the support of those unknown reinforcements from outside. My brain is not enough, what should I do? Which side should I support? Or continue to wait and see for a while? They all began to hesitate in their hearts.

His Majesty the Emperor and some ministers who were discussing how to suppress the rebellion in the palace were also dumbfounded. They really didn't expect things to develop into what they are now. They could have won. These damn things that just came from the sky are what? Where do they all come from? Soon someone came in and reported that the city gate had been breached. They were dumbfounded. When they saw the Linghu family's army coming towards the imperial city like the tide, the members of the royal family were all scared. The words are very bullish, why if these troops come, they will fight and they can't find North, but now that these troops have really come, do they really have the courage to raise their knives and guns to fight these rebels? That is absolutely impossible. The people of the royal family were very powerful tens of thousands of years ago. Tens of thousands of years later, these people only know how to eat, drink and have fun. They dare not go to the things on the battlefield!

His Majesty the emperor, who is usually known for his calmness, was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. He never thought that the gate of the palace could be breached by the enemy. He thought it was the safest place in the world. Indeed, from He has been living in this place since he was born, and he will never believe that someone will break this situation, but now these rebels really rushed in, and he can even see with his naked eyes that the rebels are already Rushing to the second door. The distance from the first line of defense to the second line of defense is only 300 meters, but I don't know that there are more than 3,000 Imperial Forest Army. But now all the 3,000 imperial guards have turned into corpses. Even a group of pigs can hold on for a while, but now they don't have any time to hold on. He glanced helplessly at the imperial guards in front of him. Should you trust them? Can they keep these people out? This is all an unknown.

That is also impossible. Although these Imperial Forest Army are very powerful in normal times. It seems that the clothes they wear are better than others, and other troops will detour when they see them, but it's not because they are very powerful. It is because they are the emperor's pro-army and the emperor's people. No matter who they are in this empire, they are not as powerful as the emperor's people. They are slaves and servants, but their master is His Majesty the emperor. It’s enough to serve him alone, so when they go out, no matter what they do, everyone will give them the green light. Now he said that life and death occasions are different from before. There is no need to give these people face. In some exercises, of course, I will give them face or even deliberately lose to them. But now I tell you that I will lose my head. No one wants to see such a thing Arrived, so I can only say that you are going to die.

Ministers all know why? They also know that these Imperial Forest Army are actually some fancy but useless guys, but it is useless to say anything at this time. Tell the emperor that these troops of yours are useless? It is useless to say this now, they are now on the same boat as the emperor, they must solve this matter, otherwise, they will rush to their palace with less than two kilometers left , that time is the most terrifying thing, those rebels don't care what faction you are, this is why scholars can't tell when they meet soldiers, although there may be people from the Linghu family among them, but you go tell these Soldier, the master I gave you is a group. Don't these soldiers kill you? That is absolutely impossible. These soldiers are now red-eyed. They might hack everyone to death with their swords. These people are also panicked. How should they hide now?

The one with the different expressions of the emperor's pro-military is Young Master Linghu. At this moment, Young Master Linghu is standing at the gate of the palace in high spirits. He never thought that his army would enter the palace. Of course, this It's all because of the help of Li Cong's grenades. Without those grenades, his army might have been wiped out by the emperor's army now. , He told the messengers around him not to be Li Cong in the sky to signal, and let Li Cong's plane continue to throw grenades forward. If that was the case, he might succeed in this coup. He was about to succeed, and this sudden change made Young Master Linghu a little unbearable in his heart, no matter how good his mental quality was, such a huge change would still have an impact.

Li Cong, who is high in the sky, naturally won't listen to him. He looked at the entire imperial city, the entire capital, and even she knows the situation outside the capital. This is absolutely impossible, you Linghu The family is about to decline now. Your failure can be seen with the eyes. You can see it by looking at the color of the army's clothing below. The clothing of the Linghu family is gray, while the clothing of the royal family is basically yellow. , a large area of ​​yellow is slowly swallowing and fading. Except for Young Master Linghu who still exists with five thousand troops in his hand, the other troops can no longer hold on. Even if you can take down the palace, you can defend it. do you live? The tens of thousands of troops here are also helping them, but what is the final result? It is still impossible to maintain power. Although the emperor is the most important person in the royal family, other people in the royal family are also very important.

A new emperor will come out, and the emperor in your hand will have no effect at all. For the sake of the foundation of the entire empire, the person who can speak in the royal family is not even the emperor in front of you. In the dynasties, although there is always one person who is in charge, for example, the person who can call the shots in the Western Empire is Prince Zheng. Even His Majesty the Emperor is not as important as the arrest of Prince Zheng. I believe the same is true in the Eastern Empire. So he immediately let his own people. All supply equations, and then just wait for Li Cong's people to rescue them. What waves do you want to make in the imperial city, even if I tell everyone here, you have failed in this coup. The root cause of failure is. The gap between the royal family and the Linghu family is too great.

"Move faster. Our victory is just around the corner. As long as we charge in and kill those people in the palace of the dynasty, the entire empire will belong to our Linghu family. You may have been a little soldier in the past." , but from today onwards you will become leaders, generals, generals and even princes. All these things are possible. Our Linghu family will never treat you heroes badly, and the Linghu Dynasty will never treat you badly in the future. You, you all will have a very good life, as long as you hold the knives in your hands tightly and rush forward, all this will become a reality, young master Linghu, the mobilization order who is still sitting next to his army, In his eyes, he has already lost his mind, or the person in front of him is already a crazy person, delusional to rely on the five thousand people in his hands to change the entire battle situation, even Li Cong who helped him Will also put all these people into it.

Cao's House sent a message, saying that our troops in various parts of the capital are already under siege, and the possibility of failure is very high. If we are so obsessed, we may not be able to get out. He The suggestion to us is that we all retreat into the imperial city now, but don't resist the imperial army in the imperial city. We must maintain our own strength and defend here. The airship of Cao's House will come and borrow us all. Go out, this is his advice to us. "It was as if a pot of cold water had suddenly been poured on Young Master Linghu's head. He would never have believed that such a thing would happen. They already believed that victory was imminent, but the result in front of them made Linghu Young Master Fox was dumbfounded. What does Cao’s House mean? What does Li Cong mean? Didn’t he come to help me defeat the entire Eastern Empire? Why is he making me retreat now? Young Master Linghu can’t accept the facts in front of him .

It is very normal to experience some ups and downs in life, but the ups and downs that Young Master Linghu has experienced today are too many. Just now, I was about to face failure, and I was already able to bear failure in my heart, but Suddenly Li Cong's arrival made him see the hope of victory. Of course, when he was advancing towards victory, he thought you were at this time, and no one else would think so. Just as he was advancing, Li Cong Since I suddenly told him that this victory was impossible, my mood suddenly fell to the bottom just like before. In fact, Young Master Linghu doesn't know where it came from now? The other liaison officers didn't come over at all, except for my own team, which may be the same as what Li Cong said, the other troops have already fallen into a state of being besieged, and it is only a matter of time before they are wiped out. It is impossible to win, does Young Master Linghu understand now?

The young master glanced at the main hall not far away with some reluctance. It is only two kilometers from here to success. Do you really want to give up? Although there are more than 100,000 troops at a distance of 2,000 meters, it didn't take even a minute for his 5,000 men to deal with the 300 Imperial Forest Army just now. He could see the fighting power of those Imperial Forest Army very clearly. When the army marched in a neat queue, they exposed their backs together. Those imperial forest soldiers thought about how far they could run. The life and death of the emperor may have nothing to do with them. The main thing is these imperial forest soldiers That is, the nephews of some officials in the imperial court, what they value is their own heads, and they are definitely not the consolation of the imperial city, although their escape now will bring certain losses to their family, it can be later. It is a very good thing to keep one's head. There is no need to lose one's head here, it is not worth it.

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor has already walked out of his room. He can no longer sit in the room and issue orders as before, and his life is also threatened. At this moment, he and Young Master Linghu have seen each other, the Emperor When His Majesty saw Young Master Linghu's eyes, he also felt a burst of fear, if this kid put all his eggs in one basket. It might be really dangerous. Although there are many masters in the palace, he can't order those people to act. He knows very well that there are many masters in the Linghu family. It can be said that it can be a tie with these people in the palace. If a full-scale war breaks out, his life will be even more open. Although there are two tenth-level fighters in the palace, who can guarantee that there are no tenth-level fighters in the Linghu family? If the war really expands to the scale of tenth-level fighters. The aftermath alone can kill himself, so it is not absolutely impossible.

Right now, it can only be fought by ordinary people. Can these ordinary people trust themselves? Normally, they all stand up straight and answer their own questions very loudly, but the scene just now made me understand that these imperial guards are just some fancy but useless guys, just posing or something There is no problem, and it can save face for themselves. Even if they travel long distances, they will not reveal their crimes. But when they actually go to the battlefield and encounter blood, they are not the original ones. People, they are actually some timid people. His Majesty the Emperor has an idea in his heart. If this crisis can pass, he will never let these officials' children enter the palace as guards. These are afraid of death The guy is useless at all, it's better to get some ordinary people from the front line, these ordinary people can at least work hard for themselves, but these officials' children are thinking about themselves now matter.

Now neither side knows what the other is thinking? But they all want to know what the other person is thinking? In fact, they are all at the end of their battles now. From the perspective of His Majesty the Emperor, he has no other army that he can trust except for the hundreds of thousands of imperial forest troops in front of him. He doesn't have any other troops other than 5,000 troops. If it's the last sprint, it's not impossible. If it succeeds, it's okay. If it fails, he will lose the last bit of weight in his hand. The entire Linghu family is self-made. The loss is very big. Except for some troops in the fief, there may be nothing else. If the Linghu family is playing this time, it is very likely that they will all be killed. Many people do not believe this fact. , sometimes all of this may come to an end, do they want to go all out?

Li Cong, who was in the sky, also found these two people. He had been praying in his heart that this young master Linghu must not mess around. If he really came back, he might really have to pay. It’s still okay to hold him, if he really starts, it’s impossible for me to pull him when I charge for the first time, if I leave him and run away, then all my investment in the Eastern Empire will be in vain, and it will never be realized. Yes, at the beginning, he didn't want the Linghu family to follow the imperial government so blatantly against the imperial government. There was no benefit in doing so. For Li Cong, the Linghu family was like an internal agent in the Eastern Empire. Spies will not live like this in order to maximize their own interests. Who knows that the young master Linghu leaned against the wall and started fighting with others. If it saves him, he will not lose money.

The hundreds of thousands of Yulin soldiers were also very scared. They didn't know how the five thousand people on the opposite side should go? But just now they saw on the city wall how these five thousand people entered the palace? The weapons in their hands are very strange, as if the bows and arrows can't be used up, they immediately have them again after shooting from there. They also have bows and arrows in their hands, but the speed of shooting is incomparable to that of the opponent. It takes a long time to complete the second ejaculation after shooting a bow and arrow, and the other party will shoot a few directly. This kind of thing makes them feel very strange, although they have heard of Cao's House of Commerce very early. Friends have this kind of strange weapon, but they haven't seen it with their own eyes, and they don't believe that the weapon will be so powerful. Now they finally believe it, but they don't want to use their own bodies to fight against such a weapon. In the end, they may be the ones who suffer, and they also want to save their lives.

Li Cong's serial crossbow once again showed its amazing combat power on this continent. An army of 5,000 people can instantly kill 3,000 of the very powerful army of the empire. These 3,000 people were killed by the serial crossbow without even reacting. Many of them are first-level or second-level fighters or third-level fighters, but they didn't realize that the powerful penetrating power of the serial crossbow directly saw through them all. Ordinary people have certain offensive capabilities in war, but this time Li Cong saw that as long as it is a group attack, it is a level 3 fighter. Even level four. But they don't have the ability to understand this, so it might be different for the time being. The reaction ability of a first-level fighter is not at the same level as that of a fifth-level fighter. It can be said that fighters from the first to fourth levels are in the same class. Five to seven grades. Eighth and ninth grades are the same level. Level 10 is a level of serial crossbow, this weapon can kill fighters below level 4.

For fifth-level fighters, its combat power is still far from enough. Just when both sides were hesitating, another incident broke out at this time. About 3,000 eunuchs rushed out from the harem. Each of these eunuchs has their own skills. Li Cong can see from the sky that although these eunuchs are not fifth-level fighters, their combat effectiveness has already reached fifth-level fighters. Maybe they have their own set The only way is to exercise your body. Young Master Linghu also has his own intelligence organization in the Eastern Empire. He also clearly knows that these eunuchs may belong to the empress. , They brought out their own ability to suppress the bottom of the box. The background of a dynasty is definitely not comparable to that of a family. Even if this family is considered a royal family, it is useless. Now it can be seen that he has nothing.

Young Master Linghu glanced at the gate in front of him with some sadness. This victory was close to him, but he couldn't touch it. What he can do now is to retreat quickly. If other forces in the palace If you wake up, if you want to fight with yourself next time, then these people of yours may not be able to hold on for long. A few minutes ago, the advantage was still in your hands, but after a few minutes, this advantage has become others. Young Master Linghu glanced helplessly at Li Cong in the sky, and nodded heavily. Li Cong also understood that Young Master Linghu did not do anything to disappoint him. Some rationality, forcing oneself to give up this risky action does not mean that he is not allowed to take risks. If there is a hope of success in taking risks, then it is possible, and if there is no hope of success, then it is stupid.

"The airships on the left and the right immediately attacked the palace hall until the bottom was smashed into ruins. The remaining empty airships immediately went down to pick up people. As soon as we picked up people, we immediately retreated. Don't stay here for a minute. Knowing that this minute may kill us, no one knows whether the Eastern Empire has other weapons to deal with us, and we must pay attention when picking up people, and we must ensure our own safety before picking up people. If you can't even guarantee your own safety, then you can stay in the air." Li Cong quickly said to the twenty airships behind him, and now they are going down to pick up the people of the Linghu family, but they can only borrow some more important ones. It's just people, if it's not important, then they have to give up, just like the 5,000 soldiers in the square, but they will never bring them along, even if they are the elite of the Linghu family, they can't squeeze into the airship .

Young Master Linghu also looked at his 5,000 soldiers with some sadness, then turned his head and said to his soldiers, now it is the last moment, we have to fight once, you all give me enough , we must kill the emperor, and if we get involved, our Linghu family will still have a chance to turn around. If not, we will have nothing, and we will be regarded as traitors and traitors, and we will be beheaded at the Meridian Gate The fate I gave you is also the same. Now we have no other choice but to fight to the death. Everyone thought that Young Master Linghu was going to give up, but they didn't expect him to say such words at this time. Li Cong was also in the sky. Hearing this, he wasn't surprised at all, but just nodded with a smile. In the end, this little brother still chose to use these five thousand people as his own stepping stones. If the hundreds of thousands of Imperial Forest Army rushed up during the retreat.

Compared with the entire retreat, it was a very dangerous thing. If they were to rush forward, these hundreds of thousands of Imperial Forest Army must have no other intentions to stop the family's retreat? The important personnel of the Linghu family are all in this city, and they have all rushed to the palace at this moment. Of course, some valuables of the Linghu family will not exist in the imperial city, and they will all be placed in their own space rings. It was very easy to retreat the space ring. With just a dozen boxes, everything of the entire Linghu family was taken. About 800 members of the Linghu family boarded the airship. These eight hundred people are all the essence of the Linghu family. That country controls a population of tens of billions in the entire Eastern Empire, and these people are also selected out of the hundreds of millions of people, and will play a major role in the rise of the Linghu family in the future. Just like the last time the Tuoba family retreated, only the most important people were brought.

His Majesty the Emperor did not expect that the young master Linghu finally chose to enter. He was also deceived by the Linghu family's attack. Immediately ordered all the people under him to rush up, and he didn't see that the people of the Linghu family were leaving in the airship. If he saw it, he would definitely slap himself hard. Because the departure of these people brought him huge troubles in the days to come, the combination of the Linghu family and the Cao's firm is a very terrible enemy, these people have their own news inside, and outside they have their own powerful appearance The seemingly powerful Momentum Nation seems vulnerable in front of them. This is also the most regrettable thing in the life of the Emperor of the Eastern Empire. If he stayed, many hidden dangers might be eliminated in the future, and it was impossible for these five thousand people to kill him, but he felt that it was important to save his life in the panic.

Li Cong's airship also began to land. Unlike other airships, Li Cong never thought about landing his own airship on the ground because the airship Li Cong was on was too huge, and it was for His Majesty the Emperor. The palace is also very large in comparison. If such an airship is to land, it will be very dangerous. The masters in the palace Ruyun said that two or three can destroy the airship. Li Cong will never let it I am in danger, even if this person is the person I am optimistic about, I can't take it for granted. My brother is an exception. There is still a big gap between the position of Young Master Linghu and his brother. Li Throwing a cable from the sky, about 50 meters, 50 meters is not a high distance for advanced fighters, but it is not a short distance for Young Master Linghu, this is impossible with your own ability Jumped up, but with this cable it's different.

When Young Master Linghu grabbed the cable, his subordinates already understood that their master would not be relentless and killed so many of them by himself. They were in a difficult situation. If they surrendered now, the chance to meet them might be reached. These Imperial Forest Army will not be soft-handed and kill so many of them by themselves. If they don't kill themselves, they can all become Buddhas. That is impossible. It can be seen on the faces of these Imperial Forest Army. After killing all of them, the remaining 5,000 members of the Linghu family tried their best to frighten the Imperial Forest Army on the square. There are 30,000 people, and no one feels sorry for the 5,000 people. The young master Linghu in the sky will shed tears when he sees this scene. He also feels sorry for his subordinates. He is the most loyal His men were thus lost.

Since it is a military coup, you should understand the cruelty of this war. Either you die or I die. Now that you have failed, their death is a matter of course. Li Cong patted my little master Liu on the shoulder He said that he has seen such things too much, whether it is on his own side or on the rty alien planet, he understands everything very well, the winner will announce the result arrogantly, and the loser except I cry silently, but there is no other way, because now you have lost all the chips in your hand, if you want to get it back, you need to endure it all year round, even without showing your face or even in this world Disappeared, waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that is beneficial to him, an opportunity that allows him to return to this land, now Young Master Linghu can only wait for the opportunity slowly. They will also become members of Cao's firm in the future.

I didn't expect that we would fail so miserably. At the beginning, I thought that our Linghu family would have at least 30% leftovers, but now it seems that we don't even have 10%. The fox family may no longer exist at all. Compared with the results at that time, it is already very good. I am not a dissatisfied person. Now I can see a lot of wealth in the family, and I can quickly get along with the important members of the family. The transfer, for me, can be regarded as a small victory. The expression on Young Master Linghu's face was different from what he said. This Li Cong can tell that he is very sad, but he can still say these scene words when he is the saddest, and it can be seen that this guy is also very qualified in his heart. It has its own background. If it's those who can't bear it, they will jump down crying and shouting now. After all, this was no small failure.

It doesn't matter, there have been many families that failed coups throughout history, and many families were killed by the whole family. Just like what you said, your Linghu family still has the capital to make a comeback. Look at the people behind you. They are all the most elite members of the Linghu family. Moreover, your Linghu family still has its own territory in the sea, in the entire continent. There is still your own fief in the world. As long as you can manage your own territory and back cover well, I don’t think the Eastern Empire’s royal family can do anything to you. What you have to do now is to cheer up instead of staying in this situation. In such a sad mood at the time, this is of no benefit to you. What you have to do now is to cheer up and let the royal family of the Eastern Empire see who is the real master. Li Cong's method of comforting people is also possible. With just a few words, the fighting spirit in Young Master Linghu's heart was aroused. He looked towards the distant sky, yes, he still has a future family and a future.

But when Young Master Linghu turned his head again, there was already a fierce light in his eyes, without the kind eyes just now, Li Cong looked at the old men behind him, and suddenly seemed to understand something, It turns out that the Linghu family is not as united as it appears on the surface. If the coup d'état of Young Master Linghu was successful, it is okay to say, but now this military coup has clearly failed. It can be said that it failed completely. Some rebellious officials and thieves in history are not much better than them, they just saved their own lives. It seems that the fate of Young Master Linghu has been rushed to the territory of the Linghu family. If you can imagine it, it must not be possible. How good it is, these old men must have their own ideas in their hearts, and they can't let this young man continue to toss about. Li Cong already has his own plan in his heart at this time, and he must help Xiao Linghu master.

I need your help just like you helped me before, and now I think you have no other choice but to help me. Among the Linghu family, although they thank you for saving their lives again, you will miss them in the future It is absolutely impossible to cooperate with you and cooperate with you in your own way. What these old stubborn people think about is their own prosperity, or how to live in the future. It is absolutely impossible for them to fight for you Things, now you have no other way but to cooperate with me, I hope you can help me, root them out, with your hands instead of mine. "Master Linghu and Li Cong went to a relatively remote place and said, your classmate didn't expect this guy to speak so directly, and thought he would speak slowly. It is very simple for him to get rid of these old men, but what benefits can he get? This is the most important thing.

"Don't make it so absolutely as if I have no other partner besides working with you. Now that there are so many things happening in the Eastern Empire, many big families have seen it. If you only work with the royal family, it will not end well. , My airship also showed them another way. If they want to cooperate with me, I think I will have many partners, so not only yourself, I think this is the first time I speak in this tone It's also the last time, if you want to talk to me like this next time, you can watch it yourself." Li Cong patted this guy on the shoulder and said, don't think that you are equal to yourself now, talk, This is absolutely impossible. The previous Linghu family did not have such a status, and the current Linghu family does not have such a status. You are now like a bereaved dog. The whole family is saved by me. Yes, what to do I have arrangements.

Young Master Linghu frowned. In the past, Li Cong never spoke to him in such a tone. Now that Li Cong speaks to him in such a tone, he understands a little bit. The Linghu family is the same. Now the Linghu family has become rootless in most parts of the Eastern Empire. Although there are still many industries, it is only a matter of time before they are eradicated by the royal family. Li Cong had a whim Thinking of it, is it possible to collect the assets of the Tuoba family as last time? He quickly forgot about this idea. This is absolutely impossible. The Linghu family has too much information in the royal family, and the royal family also pays a lot of attention. The place is better, if you pick up this cheap here, you may break your teeth, this is all possible.

The entire Eastern Empire does not know how many people are watching how the royal family handles the Linghu family. Most of the family's income will definitely be taken over by the royal family. There are also many people in the entire royal family who are watching this part. Yes, they were unwilling to take the lead when the rebellion was put down, but now it's different, they have all seen the time to reap the fruits, the Linghu family has already begun to retreat in an all-round way, they don't care about this war Who wins or loses? What they want to care about is what they can get now, and what they can get in the Linghu family's property. Many people have been staring at the Linghu family's things for a long time, and now they can finally get their hands. If you are soft at this time, you may become nothing in the next ten years or even decades, and you will be surpassed by others. This will never happen. The real battle is useless. These people are faster than each other, and the emperor is very helpless. At this time, the empire has gone through such a chaos, and he has to rely on these talents, otherwise his emperor will not be able to sit firmly. (To be continued..)
