   Chapter 668 Unrest (4)

"no!"

   Lu Lin said unexpectedly to stop it: "Don't act rashly! Although the Meng family army was defeated, they did not surrender. If the fleeing Meng family army was not killed in time, I don't know how many people would suffer!"

   solemnly anxious: "But, the Marquis of Guangping led people to the palace. If the palace is breached, everything will be over! It will be too late to regret it!"

   Anxiety and pain flashed in Lu Lin's eyes, but his voice remained calm and calm: "There are 20,000 imperial guards in the palace. With Xiaoyu here, I will be able to defend the palace gate."

   solemnly: "…"

  's solemn mouth moved, and he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it.

   He was worried about his sister-in-law, wouldn't his father-in-law love his daughter?

   But right now, the most important thing is to pursue the victory and completely defeat the Meng family army. Otherwise, I don't know how many innocent people will die tragically.

   This is what a soldier of the Great Wei should do.

   looked at the direction of the palace solemnly, and prayed silently in his heart. I just hope that Lu Mingyu can lead the troops to block the Marquis of Guangping for a moment and a half, and can last until they go to the rescue.

  Lu Lin also turned his head and glanced at it, and quickly retracted his gaze, picked up the long knife, and joined the chaotic battle. His raging anger gathered on the raised sword, and when the sword went down, a soldier of the Meng family's army must fall.

   solemnly restrained his mind, greeted a group of personal soldiers, and followed Lu Lin closely.

  …

  In the barracks of the Zhao family.

  The Marquis of Puyang, who had always been able to keep his temper, was restless at this time, pacing back and forth in the military tent. Like a donkey being led by its neck, turning around.

  There were two other people in the army tent, one was General Zhao Cang, the younger brother of the Marquis of Puyang, and the other, surnamed Xu, was a staff member of Marquis Puyang. Both of them are the confidants of the Marquis of Puyang.

   "Master Hou!" Zhao Can can't hold back anymore: "What should I do now, Master Hou will come up with an idea as soon as possible!"

  The Marquis of Puyang was full of evil fire, and glared at General Zhao Cang: "For such a big matter, I have to think about it carefully, what to urge."

   Every move is the disaster of beheading and exterminating the family, how can you act rashly!

   Zhao Shen will have to keep his mouth shut.

  This morning, Puyang Hou received two letters one after another.

  The first letter was sent by Quang Pinghou. After Puyang Marquis read the letter, his face changed, and he immediately called General Zhao Can and Xu's staff, and said in a low voice, "Something happened in the palace! Avenge the emperor."

   General Zhao and staff Xu were so shocked that they were speechless.

  The Marquis of Puyang paced irritably and said to himself, "Marquis Guangping would never dare lie to me about such a big thing! If the emperor really dies, he will lead troops to avenge the emperor..."

   Take revenge on the fart!

   is clearly to take the opportunity to seize the throne of Jiangshan!

   Moreover, in the letter, he tried his best to convince him to send troops together, and the two shared the land after the incident.

   Although staff member Xu didn't read the letter, he could guess what was written in the letter, and said in a low voice, "Master Hou, don't be angry, calm down first, and think about it carefully."

  The Marquis of Puyang squeezed out a cold snort from his nose: "What kind of heart can Meng Hui have! He made up his mind to drag me into the water together, otherwise, even if he won the capital, he would not be able to resist the Xingyang army and the Zhao family army."

   As he was talking, the personal soldiers sent a letter in again: "Ms. Qi, King Xingyang has sent a letter."

  The Marquis of Puyang twitched the corners of his mouth, took the letter, and quickly opened it and read it again.

This letter from King Xingyang is exactly the opposite of what the Marquis of Guangping said: "...the emperor collapsed in the hands of the villain, and there is a queen and a princess in the palace, so there will be no chaos. The only thing to worry about is that the Marquis of Guangping took the opportunity to cause trouble. I have received a secret order from the palace, and the 50,000 Xingyang army will come out in full force. Together with the Royal Forest Army, I will suppress the Meng family army as quickly as possible."

   "If you receive a secret order from the palace, you can also send troops together. If not, you can guard the military camp with peace of mind. To prevent the younger generation from making trouble at night!"

   There is nothing in this letter that cannot be seen.

   After reading it, the Marquis of Puyang gave the letter to General Zhao Can and Xu's staff. The two read the letters one by one, and each expressed their opinions in a low voice: "The last general thinks that what King Xingyang said is very reasonable. Without the will of the palace, we sent troops without authorization, and if we investigate it in the future, it is a serious crime of looting and annihilating the family."

   "Exactly. Why don't you wait and see what happens, Lord Hou, and wait until today."

   In short, the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit. Don't be in a hurry, just take a look at the movement.

  The Marquis of Puyang quickly made up his mind and decided to stand still.

   However, before the incense stick, he received news from the capital. The Marquis of Guangping had an inner response at the city gate and had already led his troops to the city gate.

   Knowing this, the Marquis of Puyang was very regretful and annoyed. A great opportunity was missed!

   It's just that it takes three hours to send a letter from the capital.

  Who knows what happened in these three hours?

   Now if we send troops again, when we arrive in the capital, maybe the battle is over and the outcome is already decided. There is no benefit for him to go.

   In a word, the heart of Puyang Hou is like being placed on a charcoal fire, roasting back and forth. Circling irritably in the tent.

  Xu's staff is nearly fifty years old, and he is old and heavy, and he is also the best at trying to figure out the master's mind. He whispered comfortingly: "The situation is unclear at the moment, and it's hard to say what the outcome will be."

   "Master Hou, please wait a little longer!"

  Character determines destiny.

  The Marquis of Guangping was talented, ambitious and dared to take risks, and as soon as Emperor Yongjia died, he dared to lead an army to force the palace.

  The Marquis of Puyang has the heart to make a profit, but he does not have the guts to risk his life! Just wait patiently!

Sure enough, the Marquis of Puyang let out a long sigh and made a decision: "Well, it's too late to do anything now. Why don't you just wait in the barracks. If the Meng family's army is defeated, I'll just dodge a catastrophe. If Meng Hui wins... with King Xingyang and Liang The general is here, and there is still a prince concubine in the palace, this possibility is really unlikely."

   This is also the conclusion that Puyang Hou made after weighing for most of the day.

   In any case, the chance of winning the Marquis of Quang Ping is not big, not more than 30%.

  The Marquis of Guangping was also really crazy, so he made a desperate bet and bet his life on it.

   After the Marquis of Puyang made up his mind, he made people prepare wine and dishes. It was getting dark, so he drank a few glasses and continued to wait for news from the capital.

  …

   "Your Highness, it's getting dark."

   Outside the Donghua Gate, the four princes' personal soldiers were tired from standing, and sat down on the ground under the master's instructions. One by one stared vigilantly ahead.

  The fourth prince also sat for a long time without even drinking any saliva.

   Even if there is delicious food in front of him, he can't eat or drink.

   When he thought of Emperor Yongjia who died, the tears of the Fourth Prince poured out. After most of the day, my eyes were red and swollen from crying, and there was only one seam left.

   Seeing that the sky was getting darker a little bit, the personal soldiers around him were also a little anxious, and whispered: "His Royal Highness, we can't wait here all the time."

  The fourth prince opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, the ground suddenly trembled, and a strange sound entered his ears.

   The complexion of the fourth prince changed suddenly.
