Steel Dynasty - Chapter 521

[Chapter 521 The storm is surging]

. In the quiet night of Chang’an, you can hear a pin drop on the ground.

At this time, a dark figure came out of the princess’s mansion and headed towards the location of the firearms camp. Holding Yang Zhen’s handwriting, the servants of the princess’s mansion passed through several rounds of checks by the night watch soldiers and headed towards the firearms camp.

At the same time, Li San had returned to his residence. Unlike the streets outside the folk square, there were no soldiers patrolling the folk square. When night fell, Li San blew out the candles in the room.

Feeling in the dark, Li San lifted up his bed board, and a faint light came from under the bed board. Underneath was a secret passage, which connected Luo Quan and Fiji’s mansion.

After the secret guards entered Chang’an, the secret passage had already been excavated in order to allow Fiji and Luo Quan to secretly discuss the changes in Chang’an and how to deal with them.

And because Luo Quan’s mansion and Fiji’s mansion were only 200 meters apart, it was not difficult to dig this secret passage, but even so, this secret excavation took almost three months.

The secret guards responsible for digging every day would always pretend to be grain merchants to store the grain and then transport it out, but in fact what was transported out was just soil in the secret tunnel.

Following the secret passage, Li San headed towards one end of the secret passage, which was Luo Quan’s mansion.

“Dong dong dong, dong dong dong.”

When they reached the exit, Li San knocked six times in succession. This was the secret signal between them. After the sound sounded, the exit was opened, and the housekeeper of the general’s mansion was guarding the door.

“Commander Li, the general has been waiting for a long time. Please come quickly.” The old housekeeper said solemnly.

Li San nodded and followed the old housekeeper to the main hall of the general’s mansion. He saw Luo Quan wearing armor and a sword hanging on his waist, looking at the map of Chang’an on the wall.

“General.” Li San bowed and saluted. Today, Chang’an is extremely corrupt. The only people he can truly trust in Chang’an City are Luo Quan and Fei Zhongshu. After all, one of these two has a son in the Qingzhou Army, and the other is in the Qingzhou Army. The father-in-law of King Qi.

Luo Quan turned around and looked at Li San and asked, “How is Du Heng? Did you kill him?”

“No, General Du claimed to have received the emperor’s order, and he is still in the princess’s mansion.” Li San said .

Luo Quan frowned when he heard this, “It’s hard to distinguish between true and false at this time. We can’t just believe him.”

“What the general said is absolutely true, so in order to prevent Du Heng from leaking the secret, the princess will Heng stayed in the princess’s mansion, and now there are secret guards in the princess’s mansion watching secretly. If anything happens, with my people here, neither Du Heng nor the princess will survive,” Li San said.

Out of caution, he did not expose the secret guards in the princess’s mansion, but asked the secret guards to monitor the princess’s mansion all the time. Just as Luo Quan said, no one can fully believe it at this time.

“Well, as expected of the King of Qi, he is really thoughtful.” Luo Quan looked at the map of Chang’an City again at this time, and he said: “The Firearms Camp now has only 8,000 musketeers, while the Youwu Guard has 50,000 troops. There are 20,000 guards in the outer palace, but the guards in the outer palace are very difficult to deal with. It’s a pity that the Jinwu Guards are stationed outside the city. It wouldn’t be a problem if they help.”

Li San heard this and said: “General, this is the case.

Our purpose this time was just to rescue Concubine Zhen and the Emperor, and entering the palace was only secondary. The real purpose was to attract the troops of the imperial guards inside and outside the palace, and with the artillery from the firearms battalion, the city gate could be blown to pieces in an instant. “

Luo Quan sighed, “You are right. As long as we can rescue Concubine Zhen and the Emperor this time, we can make a comeback with the support of His Highness Prince Qi. For this, I will not hesitate even if I risk my life.” “

Don’t be afraid, General. I’m with you, General.”

At this moment, a voice sounded, but it was Fiji walking towards the two of them.

Luo Quan said: “It’s so urgent now, why did you come now?”

“I have to make Chang’an City chaotic, otherwise how can I take the opportunity to rescue the emperor and Concubine Zhen.” Fiji said.

Li San knew everything already. He explained: “Today, Fei Zhongshu wrote a personal letter to tell the third and fourth emperors about the affairs in the palace. During this time, the third and fourth emperors had doubts. Now Fei Zhongshu The book told him personally, and the Firearms Battalion attacked the city tomorrow, so

the two of them couldn’t help but not believe it. ” “Well, it makes sense. Many of the generals in Zuowuwei and Qianniuwei are members of the third and fourth princes. Even if they don’t want to help tomorrow. They will inevitably flee for their lives. Once King Zhao comes to Beijing, they will be reduced to hostages,” Luo Quan said.

Fiji said at this time: “We have no control over the actions of the third and fourth princes. The most reliable one is ourselves. I have summoned all the guards at home and are just waiting for tomorrow morning to attack the city with the firearms battalion.”

“My house’s The guards are all ready.” Luo Quan had a look of determination on his face, and then he looked at Li San, “Li San, we will leave our family to you.”

Li San’s expression became solemn, and he emphasized. nodded.

At this time, the three people continued to discuss tomorrow’s attack on the city, and then agreed to spread the news of the prince’s regicide in Chang’an City tomorrow morning to create chaos.

While the three of them were discussing the matter in secret, the third prince and the fourth prince were like ants on a hot pot.

They were originally suspicious that Xiao Wenxuan was seriously ill, but now Fiji’s superstition suddenly made them panic.

“Third brother, this time we should help each other. The prince has killed the king and usurped the throne. He will definitely kill you and me next. King Zhao’s hundred thousand black armored iron horses are about to attack the city. If you don’t take action now, it will be too late. “Today, the fourth prince stayed in the third prince’s house for a banquet, and the two of them kept discussing the matter.

Pacing back and forth, the third prince said impatiently: “Why are you so anxious? What if this is Xiao Ming’s conspiracy? You and I are just watching from the sidelines. Concubine Zhen is trapped in the palace, and what we are most anxious about is Xiao Ming, if he doesn’t move, we can’t move.” The anxiety on the fourth prince’s face did not diminish when he heard this, and he said, “What if it is true?

How should we deal with it

from now on?”

? When King Zhao comes to Beijing, I’m afraid his surname will be Zhao instead of Xiao. You and I will have to return to Yan and Chu respectively.”

“The Kingdom of Yan and the Kingdom of Chu.” The fourth prince noticed the change in the words in the third prince’s mouth. He still understood the third prince’s current thoughts. He said: “Our mothers and concubines are also in the palace. Even if they go their separate ways, we have to keep it together.” Let

them take them away. After all, this is the mother-in-law’s natal family.”

The third prince nodded, “So I said to sit back and wait for Xiao Ming’s men to move first. Only in this way can we have a chance of winning.”

“In this case, we will. Keep waiting.” The fourth prince sighed, and then he sat down and stared at the burning candle.

As time passed by, the night gradually faded. Just when the two were very sleepy, the roar of artillery suddenly sounded.

The third prince and the fourth prince stood up at the same time. The third prince said: “You and I will each dispatch our troops to attack the palace.”
