Return of the Swallow

Chapter 637

The imperial palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty was renovated on the basis of the imperial palace of the Northern Ji Kingdom. The Imperial Palace is the emperor's home, and it was built with a lot of thought in the early years. Not to mention the solid construction of the entire Imperial Palace, the terrain is still easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Currently guarding the palace, apart from Jinghuwei and Ji Zeyu's soldiers who attacked last night, only the remaining guards, bodyguards and eunuchs remained in the palace.

There were more than 8,000 soldiers and horses from the five cities who attacked the palace. Even if the soldiers were divided into several groups, they were more than the people guarding the palace. Relying on the advantage of geographical location, the thousand talents guarding the palace could barely survive.

However, the people of Wucheng Bingmasi were excited at this time, and they were bound to take back the palace and cut the thieves into pieces. Under the anger, their fighting power went up a few more steps than usual. Although fighting alone is definitely not the opponent of Jinghuwei, who was born in the frontier army, but his bravery is still daunting.

The combat power is very different, and after the Wucheng Bingma Division, there may be a Huben army mobilized by Qingyanghou.

Huzi stood on the city wall and looked down. He saw the scene of nearly ten thousand people yelling and killing at the border. See you for the first time.

Such a big event happened at the feet of the emperor, and the people in the city were already alarmed. The common people hid in their homes, the doors and windows were closed, and those who lived nearer were scared out of their wits by the deafening shouts of killing.

The people don't know it. The only thing they could be sure of was that the capital, which had been stabilized for less than five years, was once again in chaos.

There is another war!

The last time Pang Xiao led his troops to break through the capital of the Beiji Kingdom and did not allow the Hu Ben army to disturb the people, the original people of the Beiji Kingdom were also worried.

This time, no one knew who was fighting whom. No one can be sure whether there will be riots in the city

chaos.

Even the imperial palace was being attacked, and if criminals in the city took the opportunity to burn, kill and loot, the crimes would be easily covered up.

But the five city soldiers and horses who maintain law and order are now the main force attacking the palace.

The people hid and shivered, silently praying that such a tragedy would never happen.

And King Li Jun, who led troops to attack the palace gate, was no less afraid than the people in the city.

He didn't expect

So many people can't conquer a palace!

If it continues to be consumed like this, wouldn't it be even more difficult to fight in the future if the soldiers and horses of the five cities were lost?

Go, hurry up and urge Qingyanghou, why is the Huben army not here yet! King Lijun urged his cronies to meet Qingyanghou.

On the other hand, they encouraged the people from Wucheng Bingmasi: Everyone, work harder, you must move quickly! The queen mother ordered the king to supervise the country. Today, the king did not announce that he would go to court, but the courtiers have all entered the palace. I think I fell into the trap of the Tartars, all of you brothers and sisters have elders who are officials, if we take down the palace and catch the spies as quickly as possible, maybe we can guarantee the safety of you adults!

King Lijun's words were spread by the messengers.

However, to King Li's surprise, after holding on for less than half an hour, not only did the soldiers of the five cities who attacked the city not attack harder, but everyone felt a little tired.

King Lijun was very disappointed, and said angrily: Don't you want to rescue the elders in your family!

Those who can hold an official position in the five cities of the capital are not of low background, and they are basically the children of officials.

And the officials who can show their faces at the court meeting are basically the heads of each family, at least they must be countable figures in each family.

Therefore, these soldiers and soldiers who attacked the five cities of the palace, the uncles and elders or the heads of the family are all present in the palace at this time.

It is uncertain which arrow will hurt the Patriarch.

It is not certain which head of the family will become a hostage threatened by Tatar spies.

The prosperity of a family is naturally inseparable from the patriarch. If something happens to the patriarch here, there will be chaos in the clan, and he cannot escape the blame.

Therefore, at this time, the soldiers of the Wucheng Army and Masi who were besieging the city were a little bit tied up one by one.

In Fengtian Hall, the shouting and fighting outside became more and more intense.

Seeing that the timing was almost the same, Li Qitian got up angrily and said angrily, Dear dears! Now there are crooks besieging the imperial palace, delusionally thinking that it will be detrimental to the country and the people of the Zhou Dynasty. I really can't imagine that such a situation can happen in the capital! It's really too Let me down!

The minister is terrified! The ministers groaned and knelt on the ground.

Li Qitian raised his arms and said: My dear friends, don't worry, the situation in the capital is not known at this time, the common people don't know if it's safe, and there are people like this coming to attack the palace. It's true that I haven't touched a sword in five years, so they will kill me I have become a soft persimmon that can be bullied!

My dear friends, follow me to kill the enemy!

Li Qitian's voice was full of confidence, after speaking loudly, he got off the Danchi and walked out quickly.

Ji Zeyu followed Li Qitian closely.

Pang Xiao then supported Qin Yining and walked behind.

The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, and everyone was very worried, but the Holy One spoke first, and the people were at the forefront. Naturally, the ministers did not dare to show too much fear in front of the Holy One, lest they become an excuse for political opponents to attack themselves.

Because of the unprecedented unity of civil servants and generals, they all stared angrily, planning to follow Li Qitian to see what was going on.

All the way to the city wall near the palace gate, listening to the roaring close at hand, watching the palace gate being banged by strong logs from outside, the guarding soldiers stared at the city with their bodies from the inside. The door, the dust from the shock fell down and covered people's heads and faces, and no one had time to pay attention to it.

Some timid legs began to tremble.

Li Qitian said righteously: My dear friends, follow me to the top of the tower to have a look!

Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu looked at each other, and immediately stood up to stop him, persuading him, My lord, it's too dangerous on the tower, what if you get hurt by a arrow?

However, Li Qitian flicked his sleeves righteously: No problem! I want to see who dares to rebel!

With that said, he turned around and stepped up the steps.

Seeing Li Qitian's righteous indignation, the courtiers were also aroused with pride. For a moment, everyone ignored their own life and death, and followed Li Qitian to climb the city wall together.

Qin Yining moved a little slower, and was brought up by Pang Xiao, who was half supported and half hugged.

On the high wall, the architectural layout of the entire city of Kyoto can be seen very clearly. There is not even a pedestrian on the street, and it seems that the capital has almost become a dead city like a border gate.

And the people who are attacking under the city are the people of Wucheng Bingmasi.

Li Qitian's face was full of surprise and sadness.

It turned out to be a member of Wucheng Bingmasi? That is... Li Junwang? Unexpectedly, he would bring my people to besiege the palace! Could it be that he really wants to rebel?

Whether it's true or not, his behavior is inappropriate! Just as Pang Xiao finished speaking, suddenly an arrow shot towards Li Qitian from the direction where King Lijun's banner hung high.
