Chapter 685: Walking Into a Trap

Rushing to Beijing from the west, the road is along the mountains, which is the famous Taihang Mountains.

When the Taihang Mountains reach the end of its remaining branches, there is a mountain named Xishan. After passing the Xishan Mountains, the open land in front is the capital city. Xishan actually means the mountain west of the capital.

When Yeletu led his troops to arrive at Xishan, it was already late at night, and the capital was still hard to see in the snowy night.

He suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the team: "The closer we get to the target, the less we can relax... The fighting methods of Middle-earth are very different from ours, so be careful of ambushes. Go to the two teams and explore the mountains on the left and right in front."

Soon, two teams dismounted and started to perform Qinggong to penetrate into the forest ahead.

The cavalry reined in their horses and looked around. The mountains and forests were dark in the night, and they looked a bit mysterious and scary for no reason.

There are many differences between fighting in the snow and the routine. For example, in the mountains and forests, it is impossible to judge whether there are people by the presence of startling birds, because there are not many birds in the first place.

But everyone still felt that the protector was too concerned. How could Xia Jing arrange an ambush here? They didn't have any soldiers.

Not long after, the scout reported: "There is no ambush."

Yeletu breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that they are really undefended, speeding up and sending out signals!"

"Whoosh!" A firework shot straight into the sky, and Qingqi headed straight for the capital.

Lu Jianzhang stayed up all night, looking at the moon on the roof of his house. When he saw the fireworks in the distance, he finally breathed out: "Get ready."

Originally, Lu Jianzhang had no intention of rebelling. He followed Xia Longyuan and Xia Chichi.

Earlier, Xia Longyuan let a fake govern the country. As the prime minister, he could get more benefits and power, but in fact, he was still vain. He was afraid that the king who was the best in the world would suddenly become more serious, and he was frightened day and night. It is said that fakes have made many stupid moves, and everyone places the first responsibility on Xia Longyuan himself. If it were not Xia Longyuan's indulgence, what can fakes do? But what about secondary blame? No one said.

Of course, the second culprit is him as the prime minister. To be honest, it is okay to say that he is the first culprit. If Xia Longyuan wanted to govern, he would have been the first to chop him up.

Now Xia Chichi will not settle these old scores for the sake of the stability of the new dynasty. He, Lu Jianzhang, originally thought that it would be better to hang out with the new dynasty than before. He didn't have as much power as before. It didn't matter. The victory was stability. At the beginning of the founding of the new dynasty, Lu Jianzhang actually put forward many useful suggestions for revitalizing the economy.

But absolutely no, the new emperor shouldn't really continue the previous emperor's idea of ​​suppressing aristocratic families. Although Xia Chichi did not show it for the time being, everyone understood the contents of the table once the Cui family came down.

Even the Cui family has given up their martial arts in order to survive, so what else can other families want to end up with?

You have just established a new dynasty and are withering everywhere. You don't seek stability, and you actually start to use such a knife that hurts your muscles and bones. Putting aside his own interests, Lu Jianzhang also felt that this new dynasty had no future when talking about the prospects of the empire.

What's even more funny is that within two days, the only army that could fight was transferred away to fight against the Wang family... Do you really think that the capital is as stable as Mount Tai?

Lu Jianzhang strode downstairs and led everyone out of the house.

Not long after, the sound of horse hooves sounded loudly at the west gate of the capital, and Yeletu led the crowd to the city gate. Their internal response was more direct than Guichen's at the Wang family, and the city gate guard opened the door directly.

Yeletu led his army straight in, stepped onto the main street without any hindrance, and went straight to the palace.

It's easier than imagined... Previously, the bureaucracy in the capital was unorganized, and the Four Symbols cultists easily controlled the capital. But this time, the Four Symbols cultists were unprepared. Most of them were probably sleeping now, and there was only some confusion outside the palace gate. The lazy and sleepy imperial guards were stunned when they saw the barbarian army sweeping in.

"Uh-huh!" Yeletu chopped up a forbidden soldier with one knife, flew up, and slashed straight into the middle of the palace door.

The chaos inside the gate can already be heard, and the Four Elephants cultists are shouting: "The enemy is attacking! Guard the city gate quickly!"

For a strong man like Yeletu, the city gate's protective power is really not great. Within two or three swords, the palace door opened, Yeletu turned back on his horse, and Qingqi swept in.

But the team was only halfway through the door when Yeletu's movements froze and he reined in his horse in shock.

A neat military formation of spears stood in front of them in the square, and the cold light on the spear tips shone brightly in the snow. Xia Chichi stood in the military formation wearing a dragon robe, protected by high-level protectors of the Four Elephants Sect on the left and right.

It turned out that the emperor had been standing here for a long time, and the Four Elephant Cults were waiting in full formation. The chaos inside they heard before was completely staged, and they were waiting for them to break into the palace entrance, and they were stuck in a position where they could not form their formation, unable to advance or retreat.

Yeletu suddenly looked back. Outside the palace gate, countless Four Elephants cultists appeared indistinctly on the left and right streets, blocking the main roads everywhere.

This is a complete trap!

The new emperor actually knew that they would come for a sneak attack, and when he knew about it, he didn't set up an ambush outside, and forcefully led them to the palace gate for a decisive battle?

Xia Chichi looked at Yeletu up and down and sighed: "It's not interesting. I thought it would be the Vulture tribe. The Vulture Hunters injured Changhe back then, and they can help him avenge him. I don't know who this is. ”

Yeletu's expression was extremely solemn. The new emperor stood there with no flaw in her body. With such magnanimity and martial arts, she was definitely not in the middle of the people's list of people. She was most likely a second-level secret treasure. Ranking ability!

All wrong!

Yeletu took a deep breath: "Where is Lu Jianzhang?"

Xia Chichi smiled slightly: "Did you think he would lead the crowd to support you? It's a pity that the so-called 'people' can't even get out of their alley."

She yawned, waved her hand and said, "Fire the arrow!"

In the spear formation, arrows rained down like rain.

Yeletu shouted loudly, swung the long sword in his hand and blocked the arrow rain for his subordinates, and at the same time shouted: "Where is the God!"

Xia Chichi sighed: "My venerable is watching us. Just fight well. What's the point of asking this person and that person?"

Yeletu felt very aggrieved. He always felt that the other party was playing a game of house, but played the war that everyone treated very carefully like a dog.

He couldn't help but ask one more question: "Now it seems that your troops must not have gone to Langya. Where did they go?"

Xia Chichi sighed: "We ambushed the follow-up troops of the Li family in Taihang. You were too busy on the road. You wouldn't go through the woods to explore all the way. At most, you explored the last West Mountain? But we didn't ambush in the West Mountain... By the way, since you have passed the mountain and sent a signal, the Li family behind you saw it and thought you had explored it all. Most of them would not scout all the way. It's considered that you helped me a little?"

Yeletu: "..."

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!" The second round of arrows fell like locusts, Xia Chichi's icy soul was lightly raised, and the snowflakes in the sky became colder.

When Yeletu entered the city, at the other end of the capital, Wuyi Lane, where many high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the capital gathered, gathered together. In the residences of many high-ranking officials headed by Lu Jianzhang, countless servants gathered out of the lane and tried to follow Yeletu into the palace.

Lu Jianzhang even planned to divide his troops: "Shouyi, Yushi, you lead the crowd to the Tang family and entangle the Tang leader. Are you confident?"

Lu Shouyi and Pei Yushi are the best of the Lu and Pei families. Both of them are only on the human list, but when Zhao Changhe saw Lu Shouyi in Bashu, he suspected that Lu Shouyi was close to the edge of the second-level secret treasure. In fact, he broke through these days, and Pei Yushi was almost the same. In addition, there are many powerful people on the human list of major families and those who are close to the human list. Once the terrifying foundation of the families is united, it will be enough to overturn the capital.

If the Demon Suppression Division is not prepared, it is not difficult to overturn the Demon Suppression Division, but it is even easier to entangle Tang Wanzhuang.

Lu Shouyi was still cautious: "It's hard to say. It should be okay to just entangle Tang Shouzuo... Qin Dingjiang committed a serious crime and was imprisoned before. Now the Demon Suppression Division lacks other prestigious and capable generals. If Tang Shouzuo loses his leadership, the Demon Suppression Division is not to be feared."

A long sigh came from the air: "It would be great if your wisdom and strategy could be used against foreign races... How could you be so cruel just to collaborate with the enemy and betray your master, leaving a bad reputation for thousands of years?"

The people in the alley immediately changed their colors. When they looked up, Tang Wanzhuang stood on the wall, looking at them quietly. Beside her were the elite warriors of the Demon Suppression Division, all of them drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the alley.

It was a cold snowy night, but Tang Wanzhuang no longer had the thick mink fur she used to wear. She wore a moon-white light dress, as beautiful as a painting.

She was no longer afraid of the cold...but everyone present felt cold in their hearts.
