Chapter 3002 Kill Wei Qi, This Is Where You Will Die [2]
"Yes." Zeng Baihu of the Royal Forest Army quickly led his troops to check the situation.
Zhou Huang knew that something would happen today, so he asked his confidant Vice General Wu to stand at the last position of the generals, close to the palace gate. After discovering the situation here, he took a few steps back and asked Commander Yuan: "Commander Yuan, something happened. ?”
Commander Yuan is Yuan Zhi's father. He was originally trusted by Wei Qi, but today he was put to guard the palace gate, while Fan Mao led the imperial army to protect Wei Qi inside the palace.
Commander Yuan said: "There seems to be a sound of fighting over there at the Liubu Yamen. We have sent people to see it. We will not know what happened until they come back."
After hearing this, Vice General Wu hurried back to the palace and reported the matter to Zhou Huang.
Wei Qi had already noticed the movement here and took a look at Zhang Naijian.
Zhang Naijian asked in a sharp voice: "Marquis Zhou, what's the fuss about?!"
Zhou Huang didn't dare to hide anything, so he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Commander Yuan is here to report that there seems to be the sound of fighting outside!"
Is there any sound of fighting?
How is it possible? Isn't Wei Xiao dead?
Wei Qi panicked for a moment and quickly came to the conclusion... It seemed that Wei Xiao's loyal subordinates stationed in the imperial city learned of his death and wanted to avenge him.
However, Wei Xiao is dead, what kind of trouble can those subordinates make? !
The ministers also reacted, and they were all shocked.
Mr. Wang quickly turned to Commander Yuan and asked: "Commander Yuan, is there really a sound of fighting? You dare to cause chaos in the imperial city on New Year's Day. This is treason. Commander Yuan hastily led his troops to kill this group." Rebellious ministers and traitors!”
Commander Yuan entered the palace, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there are just faint sounds of fighting. Whether someone is causing trouble or not, we will not know until the Royal Forest Army comes back to report."
Lord Wang pointed at Commander Yuan and said angrily: "Commander Yuan, your Majesty and the ministers are here. If you don't kill the enemy when you hear the sound of fighting, do you want to put your Majesty and the ministers to death?!"
This charge was too serious for Commander Yuan to bear, so he immediately asked Wei Qi for instructions: "Your Majesty, are you going to lead troops to garrison outside the Jinluan Palace?"
"Accurate." Wei Qi agreed.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
When the gong sounded, the thousands of imperial guards guarding the outside of the Jinluan Hall immediately gathered and built three long defense lines with shields and bodies in the open space in front of the Jinluan Hall.
After the long defense line was built, the surrounding area became quiet, and the sounds of fighting became clearer.
Commander Yuan's heart trembled, and he quickly pointed to a small flag: "Chen Xiaoqi, quickly lead someone to investigate the situation again."
"Yes." Chen Xiaoqi ran away with his troops, but came back within half a quarter of an hour, along with Zeng Baihu.
Zeng Baihu's eyes were full of horror: "Commander Yuan, Prince Wei came with a large number of troops to kill, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was held hostage. The soldiers and horses arranged on the road were afraid of hurting the Crown Prince, so they did not dare to desperately stop Prince Wei. He was about to reach the Jinluan Palace!" "
this?
Commander Yuan was shocked and felt very complicated...Prince Wei and His Majesty finally reached this point.
"Let's go into the palace and report the situation to His Majesty in person!" Commander Yuan dragged Zeng Baihu to the Jinluan Palace.
With a splash, Zeng Baihu knelt down as soon as he arrived at the palace gate: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is in trouble, Prince Wei has rebelled, the prince has been captured as a hostage, and he is coming here to kill him!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole palace was in an uproar.
"The felon Wei Xiao dared to escape from prison and rebel. This, he wants to destroy the David Dynasty!" Mr. Wang shouted sadly, his body trembling with fear. He knew very well that Wei Xiao was powerful and it would not be easy to kill him. .
But the Wang family must support Wei Qi. If Wei Qi dies, the Wang family will no longer be a descendant!
Master Zuo was very smart. He just pretended that he was mute and did not even fart. He shrank his body in an attempt to make Wei Qi ignore him.
Wei Qi was stunned for a while, then came to his senses: "How dare Wei Xiao rebel!"
Wei Lin is a loser. He already put Wei Xiao in death row, put poison in the jail, and gave help to so many dead soldiers, but he still failed!
As expected, this seed with rural blood cannot be raised up. After Wei Xiao is destroyed, he must seize the time to give birth to two sons with noble births. He cannot let the blood of the David royal family be ruined in Qian Lier's hands.
Wei Qi ordered: "Zhou Huang, gather the troops and kill the rebel king Wei Xiao!"
"Yes!" Zhou Huang took the order and ordered a group of generals out of the Golden Palace on the spot.
Boom, boom, boom!
A drum beat of two, three, two, three sounded, and not long after, batches of armor-clad soldiers with swords and guns came from all directions. In a short time, the square outside the huge Jinluan Palace was filled up, and then they entered the Dongshen Gate of the Jinluan Palace Square. For the pass, sit and wait for Wei Xiao to throw himself into the trap.
The ministers in the Jinluan Palace had already poured out. Looking at the crowd of soldiers at the bottom of the steps, they were shocked... Wei Qi had quietly arranged so many soldiers and horses in the palace.
This must be at least thirty thousand, right?
In fact, even the observation tower has been rolled out... and all the luggage has been prepared!
Wei Qi also came out and stood among the ministers. Seeing the shocked expressions of the ministers, he felt extremely comfortable... Heh, do you think he was not prepared?
Wrong, he has been preparing to kill Wei Xiao!
Dang, Dang, Dang!
The gong sounded again, and the sentry standing on the observation tower shouted down: "Marquis of Zhou, the rebel king Wei Xiao is here!"
Zhou Huang asked: "Have you seen His Highness the Crown Prince? How is the situation?"
The sentry looked up for a while and replied: "I saw it. His Royal Highness was held hostage. His body can move and he is still alive!"
After hearing this, Zhou Huang breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and went up the steps, and said to Wei Qi: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is still alive... For the sake of the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince, don't shoot the rebel king with arrows, otherwise the Crown Prince may be injured. Your Highness’s life.”
After hearing this, Wei Qi almost blurted out, "Don't worry about Wei Lin, shoot Wei Xiao at any cost"!
But all the ministers were watching, and he could not say the words to kill him himself.
After hearing this, Mr. Zuo hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is your only heir. He is the inheritance of the David Dynasty. You must not let go of arrows... It is better to let Zhou Hou use the excuse of peace talks to deal with the rebel king. Fan, take the opportunity to rescue His Highness the Crown Prince, and after the Crown Prince is safe, kill the rebel king with random arrows!"
This is a good strategy.
Many ministers stood up and said: "I second the proposal!"
Wei Qi had no choice but to say: "That's right."
Master Zuo, Master Wang, Master He, Master Quan, and Mr. Shangguan Ge were appointed as lobbyists, while Mr. Feng, Ouyang Zhang and others who were more able to persuade Wei Xiao were retained.
Mr. Feng is kind to the Wei family, and Ouyang Zhang is an in-law of the Qin family. Both of them have some importance to Wei Xiao. Keeping them can be used as hostages at critical moments to threaten Wei Xiao!
"My lords, please follow me!" Zhou Huang said, leading several adults, a group of generals, and a hundred archers to Dongshen Gate.
Mr. Zuo felt extremely regretful... If he had known that he would be asked to be a lobbyist, he would have pretended to be mute to the end.
After Zhou Huang arrived at the gate, he rushed to Wei Xiao through the defense line formed by shield soldiers and said: "Prince Wei, let His Highness go immediately. Don't be stubborn anymore!"
Ha, Wei Xiao smiled: "Don't be the one who is obsessed with it."
Then he said: "Zhou Huang, I respect you as a man. As long as you withdraw your troops and horses and let me enter the Jinluan Palace, I can guarantee that you will spare your lives!"
