In the early morning, the guards trembledly awakened the two drunken generals of the sleeping murderous devil Luo Shixin and the worldly devil Cheng Yaojin: "General Luo, General Cheng, Your Highness has arrived urgently. The imperial guards who were sending the order are waiting in the front hall, please welcome them quickly."
The two of them hurriedly threw down the wine jar in their hands, got up, and rushed to the front hall. There was a bright light of fire, and there were soldiers wearing armor everywhere. Cheng Yaojin's heart broke out, and he didn't know what had happened.
A tall and burly Imperial Guard officer quickly met up: "Are they General Cheng of the Leopard Cavalry and General Luo of the Caval Cavalry?"
“That’s right.”
"I'm very sorry, two generals, Your Highness urgently summoned me. Please follow me immediately." The officer holding the torch spoke too quickly and vaguely, sleepy. Cheng Luo and the other men were in a hangover could not hear a word clearly, and asked, "What did you say?"
The officer repeated it again.
Cheng Yaojin gently said "Oh". After a while, he reacted and screamed in a scream of "ah": "Please wait a moment and let me change my clothes." He rushed to find the armor to change. Luo Shixin was very fast and was already dressed in a while. While waiting for Cheng Yaojin, he asked the officer of the Imperial Guard who was communicating the order: "Have you notified Shubao?"
"Report to the general, General Qin has already entered the palace first."
"Is that true?" Luo Shixin looked at the dark night, and the stars were shining in the dark night. It was early in the morning. He suddenly felt a little uneasy. Such an urgent summoning was not a good thing. Moreover, looking at the heavily armed and significantly strengthened martial law on the streets, this feeling became stronger and stronger.
Cheng Yaojin hurriedly changed his clothes, Luo Shixin came up and nodded to him, and whispered: "Things are not right, let's be careful."
Cheng Yaojin nodded: "I know." They followed the Royal Guard soldiers holding torches out of the door.
Walking through the dark and quiet street, facing the majestic imperial palace Ziwei Palace. The entire palace was sleeping in the darkness, like a sleeping giant beast. The light of the torch reflected on the huge pillar with a golden dragon, dyeing the entire pillar a scarlet red. Getting closer to this majestic building. Between the ornate cylindrical decorations, the calm footsteps of the guards echoed in the wide corridor, and General Cheng Luo Er seemed to smell a smell of killing and blood. {http:

Two years ago, on this white marble staircase. At that time, the two men, who were only a young general of the Liaodong Army, Qin Qiong, Zhang Yong, Chen Lei, Yuchi Gong, Li Chengyi, Zhang Jin and dozens of the most brave brothers in the Hebei army today broke into this place to bring Princess Izumo from the palace back to Liaodong. As a result, they brought the wrong person that time and regarded Princess Nanyang as Princess Izumo.
Just under this corridor, more than 20 of them were discovered by Yang Guang's Xiaoguo Imperial Guards. More than 20 people fought with a large number of guards in Yang Guang's palace. That battle was a life-and-death battle. They almost fell here and never went out. If the brothers outside broke into the palace to help at the last moment, perhaps there would be no more of them, the group of gradually becoming famous in the Hebei army today.
Luo Shixin still clearly remembered that he was hit by a spear in his abdomen and was surrounded by the guards. At the critical moment of life and death, Cheng Yaojin, who had already rushed over, resolutely turned around and killed him. When Cheng Yaojin was covered in blood and surrounded him, Luo Shixin's cold heart couldn't help but boil. At that moment, his blood was boiling and tears filled his eyes. From then on, he regarded Cheng Yaojin as the best brother in his life except Qin Qiong.
Cheng Yaojin breathed a long time, and somehow, he always felt very uncomfortable every time he came to Luoyang Palace. This feeling was particularly obvious tonight.
At the entrance of the palace, two rows of the most elite Imperial Guards stood solemnly with torches. General Yulin, the chief guard of the Imperial Guard, was waiting by the door. Seeing the arrival of the two, Chen Lei said expressionlessly: "You are late. Your Highness is waiting inside."
The shaking light of the torch shone on Chen Lei's dull surface like granite, illuminating his expressionless face. The two rows of iron guard soldiers next to him held a spear in one hand and a torch in the other, with a cold face.
Luo Shixin and the others looked at him and did not greet him. Chen Lei's serious appearance today gave them a worse premonition.
Thinking of King Chen's clan purge in Hebei, Cheng Yaojin felt nervous. Could it be that King Chen planned to come here this time in Dongdu, or someone in Dong wanted to do something? Who attacked first? It is unlikely that it was King Chen's side, otherwise he would not know nothing, but now when the Hebei army defeated Li Mi, there shouldn't be anyone in Dongdu...
While thinking about it, the two demon kings walked along the gorgeous carpet to the Wenhua Hall where they were discussing things tonight. He noticed that the guards of the palace today were much more severe than before. On the long road from the east of the Acropolis to the Wenhua Hall, soldiers holding sharp weapons were guarding everywhere, cold, gloomy, and quiet, only the sound of their own heavy footsteps echoed, the fire swayed, and the shadows were everywhere. This feeling made people shudder.
An iron guard pushed open the hall gate for him, and hundreds of palace lanterns illuminated the entire hall. Many people gathered near His Highness Chen's seat. Cheng Yaojin and Luo Shixin hurriedly approached. They knew that General Tiger Ben Qin Qiong, Director of the Special Service Department Zhang Jin and other Hebei generals in Luoyang had arrived first. Even the Marshal Li Jing, who was originally in Yanshi, appeared in the hall in armor.
"Do you know what's going on?" Cheng Yao's family asked everyone without hesitation.
Everyone shook their heads in confusion, their eyes showing confusion.
Seeing their confused look and knowing that they were not the only one who didn't understand, Cheng Yaojin felt a little relieved: "Everyone is also kept in the dark!"
After waiting for less than a moment, three women, Feng Hua, Zhang Chuchen and Zhai Jiaojiao, also hurried over one after another. Everyone asked, "What happened?" But no one could answer, and there was uneasiness in the air.
"Your Highness is here!" The royal guards standing by the door opened their voices and shouted clearly, and everyone immediately bowed their heads and saluted. Chen Kefu appeared at the door, wearing a black velvet cloak, his figure was bleak, and his eyebrows were entangled. For some reason, Changsun Shunde, who should have been in Taiyuan, Henan, appeared here. He was wearing armor and exhausted, as if he had just arrived in Luoyang.
"No need to be polite!" Chen Kefu's clear voice was a little tired, and then he became stern: "According to the latest information, we are in trouble, a big trouble!" He said coldly, and then slowly saw the face from this face and swept over the generals in the hall.
The air condensed into an instant.
After a long time, no one spoke first. Everyone felt the anger in Chen Kefu's tone, which was a rare kind of anger. In the past, even if Chen Kefu was unhappy, he rarely showed his expression.
Feng Hua stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Kefu: "Your Highness, I wonder what the big trouble you are talking about?"
"Hedong! The situation in Hedong has changed a lot. Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, Guo Zihe and Zhang Changxun have secretly formed an alliance. They betrayed us!" Chen Kefu slapped a few sons: "A few days ago, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, Zhang Changxun, and Guo Zi and the four secretly formed an alliance and suddenly turned against each other. They attacked Marshal Wang Rengong's camp of the East Expedition Camp! Fortunately, Marshal Wang was prepared for them. Although he was attacked, he defended the camp. Guan Jian Yanmen Yao Junsu stood on our side, and Marshal Wang was able to retreat to Yanmen." The solid green jade case was instantly shattered by Chen Kefu's palm, and the tiny jade fragments scattered all over the ground. Everyone was secretly frightened, but they did not expect that King Chen Han took an angry move, and his palm was so powerful.
"How about Taiyuan, Shangdang's Second City?" Li Jing's face was heavy. Liang Shidu and others turned against each other at this time, which surprised Li Jing. Although he knew that Liu Wuzhou and others submitted their support to the point of taking advantage of Hebei, they did not really surrender. However, no one expected that these local tyrants could reach an alliance so quickly, and even chose such a suitable opportunity to take action.
Chen Kefu calmed down his anger: "Fortunately, Marshal Wang had already received the order from this king. He had already transferred the 20,000 troops that were originally lurking in Hedong to the second county of Shangdang in Taiyuan before these four families rebelled against Taiyuan and Shangdang. Now Marshal Wang was in charge of Taiyuan, Wuji was in charge of Yanmen, and the brothers of Yuchi Jingde had arrived at Shangdang to take charge. Yanmen, Taiyuan, and Shangdang were now connected together, with their backs on Taihang Mountain and firmly in our hands. However, Dingxiang, Mayi, Loufan, Lishi, Longquan, Linfen, Xihehe River East, and the seven northern counties have all fallen into the hands of those four families."
The Wang family held five counties in the east and south of the river. Now Liu Wuzhou and others occupied seven counties. Although the Hebei army successfully used conspiracy to eliminate the Li family, and now it occupied Taiyuan and Shangdang, the important towns in Hedong. However, with Yanmen, the Hebei army occupied only three counties among the fifteen counties in Hedong. Among the three forces in Hedong, they suddenly occupied the most vulnerable side.
Feng Hua was also a little surprised by the change in the situation in Hedong. He was about the Hebei Army's previous use of local powers in Hedong to deal with the Li family, causing Hedong to fall into chaos, and waiting for the Hebei Army to be able to withdraw. That plan was a good plan, but no one expected that although the Li family was defeated, the four powerful forces in Hedong and Longshang did not fight each other. Instead, Chen Kefu had just won the Battle of the Central Plains and was about to fully enter the Central Plains and was about to ascend the throne and become emperor, suddenly, unbelievable joining forces to attack the Hebei Army at such an opportunity.
Looking at the angry Chen Kefu, Feng Hua understood his anger just now. According to Chen Kefu's plan, he was preparing to hold Yang Gao's abdication and his throne ceremony in Luoyang. Now that the situation in Hedong is in chaos, his plan is also in chaos. How can you not be upset? (To be continued...)
