According to the court's practice, the left and right guards had to take turns staying in the palace. The left guards were on staying tonight. Liang Xiu, the general of the left guards. After receiving the order from the emperor to strictly guard the palace, he immediately went to the palace wall to inspect. Just after midnight, a guard suddenly came to report that a large area of ​​fire was lit from the east palace. I don't know what happened. Liang Xiu hurried to Donghua Gate, climbed up the wall, and looked at the East Palace through the pheasant. The fire was floating and swaying. Under the moonlight, you could see faint smoke and dust, but it was not as strong as the water. He had been in the army for a long time and almost instantly he could tell that it was the torch lit by the army formations in a row.

What is this to do?

Liang Xiu did not think that the prince dared to rebel. An Zidao was in power for many years, and his civil and military achievements created the current peace of Chu State. The ministers were obeyed and supported by the people. There were hundreds of thousands of Hu Ben in the central army to be intimidated, and there were Sili Prefecture to correct the prosecutors and officials. Unless the prince was crazy, he could only seek death.

"Come here, go and report to the Lord, saying that there is something wrong with the East Palace. My Left Guard is paying close attention. But please be content with your lord, and there will be no mistakes in Taicheng!"

Before the emperor's order was reported, the prince had already brought his men to the outside of Donghua Gate. The East Palace and Taicheng were separated by two walls, and the distance was very close, and he shouted loudly: "Open the door!"

Liang Xiu stood at the top of the city and said, "According to the rule, the Eastern Palace team is not allowed to enter Taicheng. If the prince wants to meet, please let the rest of his troops retreat, and I will open the door!"

The prince sneered: "Liang Xiu, I received a tip. You led your troops to rebel and took the master to do something wrong. I remember that you have been fighting for the country for many years, and if you open the door to surrender, I will spare you and never die!"

Liang Xiu was shocked. His identity was always sensitive. Although he had received the absolute trust of An Zidao and was the general of the Left Guard, there were many people who were not convinced by the Left Guard in the Left Guard. He knew that he was like duckweed in Chu, and his foundation was unstable and had no support except the emperor. However, the emperor could not solve the problems of the morale of the army. Therefore, he was kind to everyone, and he was mostly governed by kindness rather than harsh laws. On the surface, he maintained the situation without chaos, but in fact he did not have much dominance over the Left Guard.

After all, the crown prince was the crown prince for more than 20 years. Only those at the top of the pyramid knew about the dirty fights with the emperor. Compared with the Left Guard General, his son was of course closer to him. His words were undoubtedly extremely inciting. The guards guarded at the top of the city looked at each other, and they were at a loss, and even their hands holding swords and guns were loosened. They were confused. They fought with each other, no matter what the reason, it was difficult to gather the morale of the army.

If the morale of the army is lost, the combat effectiveness can be imagined!

"Hahaha!" Liang Xiu suddenly laughed and said, "Crown Prince, the Lord discusses matters with the ministers in the palace. I have sent someone to report that a decree will come soon. If you don't believe it, just wait for the horse and wait. When the decree arrives, you will naturally understand who is right and who is wrong."

Of course, the prince cannot wait. The troops stationed in various places in the capital may wait and see for a while, but not for a lifetime. Before dawn, Taicheng must be taken down, otherwise the situation will be completely out of control.

"Come on the bow!"

The prince took the strong bow handed over by his confidant's statement, exhaled and opened the full moon. With a whoosh, he headed straight to Liang Xiu's face. Liang Xiu dodged and was about to order a counterattack, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist and ribs. He turned around in shock, but saw a military marquis under him stirring the short knife in his hand with a cold face.

The stomach and intestines were broken and blood was flowing all over the ground!

"Wei Jing, why are you... you?" Liang Xiu didn't even keep his eyes open until he died. Wei Jing, who he trusted the most, was born in a humble background. If it weren't for his appreciation and promotion, how could he be promoted to a marquis of the army? Usually, he was the most obedient and supported his work in the Left Guard. Who knew that he would dare to affair with the prince and assassinate the chief general?

Wei Jing smiled gloomyly and whispered in his ear: "General, don't blame me, I only listen to Hemingshan's orders!"

Liang Xiu staggered back, leaned against the wall, covering his stomach, the pain made him almost speechless, and said sadly: "Tianshi Tao, Tianshi Tao..."

Tianshi Dao has been established for hundreds of years, and the foundations between the court and the country are too deep and too dense. If it were not for the digging of the dagger, no one would know how much strength Sun Guan had hidden. An Zidao was afraid of this huge and uncontrollable force. Over the past ten years, he had almost used all means and finally forced Tianshi Dao to a desperate situation. But even he himself did not expect that Tianshi Dao's counterattack would be so fierce and decisive, and even he would not hesitate to burn both jade and stone, and he would still seek to survive and open another way to live.

Why haven’t the person who reported the letter to the Lord come back yet?

This is Liang Xiu’s last consciousness.

Wei Jing raised his foot and kicked Liang Xiu's body to the top of the city, spitting out disdainfully. Liang Xiu's personal guards reacted until this time, and surrounded Wei Jing in panic, waiting for the command of the team leader to immediately chop him into meat sauce. However, Wei Jing was responsible for guarding the palace walls from Donghuamen to Duanmen, and the surrounding area was densely covered with his subordinates. Although this situation may not be as obeyed as usual, at least fifty confidants could fight to the death for him at all costs.

Dangdangdangdangdangdang!

The two sides confronted each other with swords, Wei Jing said with a righteous face, "Didn't you hear the prince's words? Liang Xiu is planning a rebellion, and we should kill the thieves for the country. How can Yuzhong follow him and seek death? Now put down the knife, and I plead with the prince for you!"

Squeak!

Wei Jing had already arranged by his subordinates to secretly open the city gate. The prince's face looked extremely happy under the fire. From the tip of the knife, he looked at the deep and unsightly palace and said one by one: "Roar in, you will win a great victory tonight, and I will protect you forever!"

"rush!"

"Kill"

When the palace gate opened, the brave ones won when they met on a narrow road. The left and right guards who were defending other places found something wrong and gathered towards Donghuamen from all directions. However, Shen Muzhi was like a divine weapon descending from the sky, causing the water to surround Taicheng to be broken. He led his troops to attack the Grand Sima Gate, Xihua Gate, Guangzhen Gate and Yanjing Gate at the same time, attracting a large number of troops from the left and right guards. In front of the palace, only the emperor's ultimate power, the Imperial Sword Swallower.

"What's going on outside?"

In Hanzhang Palace, An Zidao suddenly felt restless. This was not uncommon in his imperial career. It predicted that something big would happen every time, and this time it would be no exception.

Lin Shuanghu bowed and said, "I'll go out and have a look."

After a while, he hurried back with a serious expression and said, "The Eastern Palace called Liang Xiu rebellious and was leading troops to attack Taicheng!"

"What?"

An Zidao was shocked and angry, and spit out a mouthful of blood. Lin Shuanghu was held in his arms and said sternly: "Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor Xuan!"

"I'm fine!" An Zidao pushed Lin Shuanghu away, sat up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes became as quiet as a mountain, and said, "Okay! Ni Zi has such courage, but he is worthy of my descendants of An!"

After all, he had been through a long battle formation and three northern expeditions. He was used to the big scenes. The prince raised his troops to rebel, which had gradually been destroyed over the years, and said: "Take my armor."

Lin Shuanghu advised mournfully: "The Lord takes care of the dragon body. The prince only has five thousand troops, so it is not worth worrying. If there are left and right guards guarding Taicheng, there will be no danger."

An Zidao shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the monk's magical powers and magical methods, my body would have been gone a few months ago. I originally thought that I would have lasted another year and a half to solve the prince's problem, but who knew that when the weather was right, this rebellious son... cough, cough, dare to rebel openly..."

An Zidao is almost in his twilight years, and his body and energy are far less than before. Occasionally, water overflows from the corners of his lips without knowing it, he is drowsy, drowsy, and deaf. However, he is worried about state affairs and barely hold on to the prince, and he finally cannot afford to get serious illness. He does not go to court for three months, and is uneasy inside and outside. In order to maintain the overall situation of the court and the country, An Zidao resolutely asked Zhu Daorong to use Buddhist secret techniques and force his life to prolong his life. On the surface, it seems to be fine, and it is even compared to his prime. In fact, this is a short Qingming Festival at the cost of burning the remaining life, in order to ensure that this powerful empire can be smoothly over to the next king's era.

It’s just a pity that when he was about to depose the crown prince and establish a new king, his elbows changed!

Lin Shuanghu gently patted his back, and said to An Zidao as he followed his anger: "The prince must have been provoked by others to do this great deed. When the guard captured him, he would be questioned clearly. Please don't hurt the dragon's body for such a small matter."

At this moment, Zhu Daorong suddenly stood up, looked northeastward and said, "Sun Guan is here!"

Sun Guan!

An Zidao's face suddenly became ugly, and he said, "How did the monk master know?"

"This is my fate and him!" Zhu Daorong turned around and looked at An Zidao, with a little thankfulness and a little worry in his eyes, but it eventually turned into letting go of all indifference, putting his hands together, bent down slightly, and said, "Sun Guan is waiting for me in Benwu Temple! Lord... take care of him!"

Everyone knows that Zhu Daorong may not be able to come back alive. The three great masters of the two dynasties, whether it is Yuanguang or Zhu Daorong, all the people in the world naturally believe that Sun Guan should be the first. This is not a speculation or a preference, but a great reputation that Sun Guan has created over the years.

An Zidao and Zhu Daorong have been with each other for decades, and have been together day and night, obeying their own words. It can be said that the relationship between the king and the minister is much closer than that between father and son and master and disciple. At this time, I suddenly heard that he was going to fight Sun Guan in a decisive battle, and my heart seemed to be suppressed by something, and I walked to Zhu Daorong from behind the imperial case, with a caring look on my heart, and said, "Master Monk, don't go..."

Zhu Daorong smiled and said, "Do the Lord think I have no chance of winning?"

Although An Zidao did not know martial arts, he also understood that when facing the enemy, he was most afraid of lacking confidence. He hurriedly said, "How can the monk's cultivation be comparable to Sun Guan? However, Mencius said that those who know their destiny do not stand under the rock wall. You are the monk in the world, so you don't have to compete with the rural village man in the country to compete with Sun Guan's rural areas for martial arts. If he follows the prince and the national law is in front, what about the great master? Hundreds of thousands of troops in the army, even one hundred Sun Guan also killed his head, and he was a warning to those who use martial arts to ban them!"

Zhu Daorong proclaimed the Buddha's name again and said, "I have known the Lord's heart, but the arrows in this battle are on the strings and have to be fired. Sun Guan's good time to choose, if I don't go, he will definitely come to Taicheng. At that time, the fight will be too threatening to the Lord. Instead of putting the battlefield in the palace, it is better to put it in the temple. If I win, everything will be at peace, but if I lose, at least Sun Guan will not be a variable that will influence the situation in this battle!"

Everything he said was reasonable. Zhu Daorong had to go for the good opportunity that Sun Guan really chose. Otherwise, no one could stop the destructive power of the two great masters, especially the emperor was on the side and the siege of the city. The guards could not concentrate on guarding Sun Guan, which was too great.

Zhu Daorong had just left, and someone came to report that Chen Mu's army attacked the city. It was late at night, and it was roughly estimated that there were no less than 50,000 people. Xihua Gate had been lost, and he joined forces with the prince who entered the city of Donghua Gate and headed straight for Taiji Hall.

An Zidao suddenly looked at Xiao Xunqi, his eyes as if frozen for the years, and said, "The prince rebelled and thought he was suddenly there, and the Sili Mansion had no time to investigate. But Chen Muzhi brought 50,000 troops into the capital, from Wuxing to Jinling, hundreds of miles of water. How big is the movement? How can you, the Sili Captain, know nothing about it?"
