Chapter 1164 The Choice of Zhongshan King

Just like other streets, Tai Ping Road is also very deserted.

The Tianhai family and the masters from the palace had already left the city to join the rebels and were outside the palace.

At this time, King Zhongshan left the rebels and returned to the palace on Taiping Road.

Among the princes of the Chen family, the ones with the highest prestige in the military are the Prime Minister and the King of Zhongshan.

His departure is a shock to the rebels and may even shake their morale.

Qin Chi was the chief adviser of the palace. He did not go north with the army, but stayed in Kyoto secretly to provide communication and support.

After receiving the news, he quickly returned to the palace and saw the prince sitting in the grand master's chair, as if he had seen a ghost.

King Zhongshan has been recuperating in Yonglan Pass. He just arrived in Kyoto today. He met with the Prime Minister in the rebel army. After talking for a while, he returned to his own barracks. No one expected that he would return to Kyoto and his home. Afterwards, I took a shower, slept, and changed into a soft silk dress. At this time, I was holding a bowl of fried noodles and snoring.

"My good prince... what are you doing? Do you know that we are plotting a rebellion? Are we rebelling?"

Qin Chi said with a ridiculous look on his face: "You either follow the rebellion, or you quickly make up your mind. How can you go home and sleep? Is this bowl of noodles so delicious?"

King Zhongshan put down the bowl and said expressionlessly: "Feng, just tell me what you want!"

Qin Chi rolled his eyes slightly and whispered: "Looking at the situation outside the imperial city, King Xiang seems to be very confident."

King Zhongshan sneered and said, "Do you think Brother Wang will let me be the emperor?"

Qin Chi was slightly startled and said, "I think... probably not."

King Zhongshan said: "In this case, whether he can succeed or not, what's the difference between me and now?"

Qin Chi smiled bitterly and said, "The problem is, if you don't obey the Prime Minister, he will definitely kill you when the matter is accomplished."

King Zhongshan said: "That makes sense. Since Your Majesty will not kill me, I'd better support Your Majesty."

Qin Chi was stunned again, wondering where to start from.

Before he could say anything else, King Zhongshan's hand fell on his throat.

——The prince's fingers were like iron. I really shouldn't have persuaded him to put down the bowl of fried noodles just now.

These were Qin Chi's last two thoughts in his life.

Until his throat was crushed, he didn't understand why the prince knew about his private connection with the prime minister's palace, and why he did this.

Qin Chi's body was dragged away. King Zhongshan still felt very unhappy. He untied his clothes and fanned himself vigorously.

A beautiful concubine came in and quickly picked up a small fan to fan him.

What the counselor could not understand until his death, this concubine could see clearly.

Even if the prince did not know that this counselor had a private connection with the prime minister's palace, he would not listen to his advice, because the prince was not optimistic about the prime minister.

Even if the situation of the rebels is very good now, even if King Chen Liu has been a hostage for ten years, he can still successfully convince so many courtiers. He is indeed an amazing person.

"I heard...some people in the palace were also persuaded by King Chen Liu."

The concubine glanced at King Zhongshan hesitantly.

King Zhongshan said: "The tongue is like a sword, but it is not a real sword after all. What's the use?"

The concubine sighed and filled the wine glass in front of him.

Xiang Wang looked at the autumn sky outside the window, holding a small wine glass in his hand. His mood was not as relaxed as his expression.

The rebels took control of Kyoto, but they were still some time away from taking the palace.

Where does Xiang Wang’s confidence come from? Why didn't he care about Chen Changsheng?

King Zhongshan suddenly thought of something, smashed the wine glass on the table, and shouted sternly: "Pingbeiying!"

…

…

As can be seen from the name, Pingbeiying is the strongest army of the Monster Clan.

The Pingbei Camp was supposed to rush to support the human army and launch an attack on the demons, but soon after passing the Congzhou Military Mansion, they stopped heading north and kept circling in that wilderness.

At first, many people thought it was the demon clan's betrayal. Later, when two demon clan reinforcements suddenly appeared under Xuelao City, many people thought that the reason why Pingbei Camp did this was entirely to provide cover for the two demon clan reinforcements. However, it turned out that all guesses were wrong or incomplete.

Before the two demon clan reinforcements passed through the mountains beside the Xiuling Tribe grassland and headed for Xue Lao City, the Pingbei Camp had already moved in advance. A team of 20,000 demon clan warriors passed through the Congxi Plateau at high speed and arrived at Yongxue. With the deliberate release of the garrison, they quietly passed by the left side of Tianliang County and finally arrived at the outskirts of Kyoto.

Moshan has collapsed for ten years and turned into more than a dozen low and shallow hills with all kinds of wild flowers growing on them.

Passing between the hills, many monster warriors will have a wild flower on their collars.

Many farmers along the way have noticed the existence of this demon army. The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty could often see the demon clan, but rarely saw so many burly demon clan men at the same time. They were inevitably a little uneasy. They just thought that the demon clan was an ally of the human race, so they did not shout in panic.

The Pingbei Camp is indeed the most elite unit of the Monster Clan. The Monster Clan warriors are naturally free and loose, but they still maintained very good military discipline during such a long march. Until they officially met with the rebels on the outskirts of Kyoto, there were no problems. There was no military chaos that many people were worried about.

Twenty thousand powerful monster warriors joined the rebel side, which completely unbalanced the balance of power between the two sides. More importantly, the appearance of Pingbeiying in Kyoto represented Bai Emperor's attitude. It was not until this time that everyone knew that Bai Di The emperor and the prime minister actually already had an alliance.

After the Northern Expedition against the Demon Clan, the Saint Realm powerhouses must have needed a long time to rest. Shang Xingzhou is old and Wang Zhice will not participate in secular affairs. The two Saint Realm powerhouses, Xiang Wang and Cao Yunping, will not In addition, the saint Baidi is indeed qualified enough to determine the situation of the entire continent.

The morale of the rebels was boosted, but after all, the front line was in a decisive battle with the demons. Neither the princes nor the generals and soldiers could really feel confident, so until now they have not used large siege weapons such as trebuchets. , but if the situation continues to be stalemate, bloodshed will inevitably come.

The gates of the imperial city were closed tightly, and the rebels and defenders kept yelling at each other. The rebels did not use siege weapons, or perhaps for this reason, the divine crossbows on the imperial city were never fired. It was just that those obscene words fell on our ears, and they were no better than those arrows flying through the air. go.

With the support of several civil servants, Grand Tutor Bai Ying walked tremblingly to the city wall. He looked at the rebels below and spoke for a long time through the loudspeaker. Seeing that the rebels were unmoved, he couldn't help but grow angry and directly He started shouting to the Prime Minister, and his words were always cursed by Qianqiu.

The rebels separated like a tide. King Xiang rode to the imperial city and said to Taifu Baiying: "Thousands of people have pointed out that they died without a cure. That is the weak one, not me."

Taifu Baiying was disappointed when he heard this. He put his hand on his chest and was helped down by the officials.
