MTL - I Am Immortal In The Cultivation World-Chapter 8 Watching the fire from the other side

Watchtower.

Standing in the northeast corner, it is three stories high, from which you can look down on the Heavenly Prison.

According to the rules set by the imperial court, the watchtower is guarded by jailers day and night to prevent martial arts masters from coming in or escaping.

Now that the armament is slack, most of the jailers have become unpaid, and naturally no one goes to the watchtower.

Zhou Yi opened the iron gate of the watchtower, followed the narrow stairs, all the way to the top of the tower, there was a figure standing on it long ago.

"Master Lei, why are you here?"

"Watch the play!"

Lei Siyu nodded slightly and looked towards the palace.

The lights of the torches were connected into lines, which were extremely conspicuous in the dark night, and there were faint shouts of killing echoing in the night sky.

Zhou Yi pretended to be horrified: "Someone is leading troops to attack the palace. Is this a rebellion?"

"In front of this official, don't hide your clumsiness."

Lei Siyu said bluntly, "That was the Prime Minister Long who was leading his troops to attack the west gate of the palace. The generals leading it were the commander of the Wucheng soldiers and Ma Si, as well as the three major gangs and ten martial arts halls in Beijing."

Fifty percent of the soldiers and horses are responsible for guarding the inner city of Shenjing and patrolling the city of 108 squares.

The three major gangs of Shenjing Qinglang, Feiying, and Jinsha respectively control the brothel, gambling stalls, carts and horses, and have thousands of thugs under their command.

The top ten martial arts halls seem to have the smallest number of people, but they are all martial arts masters, and they are most suitable for taking the lead in tackling fortifications.

"…"

Zhou Yi murmured: "This adds up to 30,000 to 50,000 people, and the imperial guards are only three or four thousand. Is it going to change today?"

Long has been the chief assistant for 30 years. Almost all the officials in the court are his people. There are also many cronies in the army. There are officials from the "Dragon Party" in the local prefectures.

Tonight, by breaking the imperial palace and gaining control of the capital and its surroundings, the Sima family can do what they want.

It is safe to choose a young master to ascend the throne, and the Dragon Prime Minister continues to control the government.

Radical people directly call the emperor to change the Yuan, and the officials of the Dragon Party can also maintain a stable transition of the country.

"Long Xiang is very likely to fall into His Majesty's plan!"

Lei Siyu shook his head and said, "At the meeting a few days ago, Long Xiang also said that His Majesty is healthy and can live at least three or four years..."

"Could it be that Your Majesty is feigning death?"

Zhou Yi raised his brows, this dog emperor didn't care about his reputation for a long time, and he might give up his skin and fake death to fish for a dragon.

"His Majesty has not been to the court for thirty-six years, and the Prime Minister Long has the power to dominate the court and the opposition, and his influence spreads both inside and outside the palace. How can there be uncertainty about the news?"

Lei Siyu pointed to the south gate of the palace: "The deputy commander of Jin Yiwei tried to break through the south gate, but he fell into a trap and was fighting with his colleagues."

Jin Yiwei is the emperor's own army, and the deputy commander actually rebelled against the dragon!

Zhou Yi felt a little happy in his heart. The Emperor Dog was betrayed and separated from his family.

Lei Siyu said, "In the morning, the Dragon Prime Minister determined that His Majesty was really dead, and he left an edict to pass on the throne to His Royal Highness King Qin, and hurriedly summoned his troops to attack the palace."

After the failure of the previous prince's rebellion, Emperor Chongming never established a prince, and the King of Qin was the third son.

Zhou Yi clicked his tongue and said, "I don't want to establish long and I don't want to establish young, so Your Majesty has expected today?"

Lei Siyu sighed in admiration: "In this prison, you are the only one who is smart."

"Lord Lei is wrong. The kid likes to go to the bar on weekdays. I heard that Mr. Shu talks about history."

The storyteller mentioned by Zhou Yi, whose name is Miss Chou Chou, is the oiran who has become popular in Chunfenglou in recent days.

"This official also lingered on Goulan when he was young. My mother scolded me for humiliating my ancestors every day, and I lost all face of the Lei family. Later, I realized that a man should make a contribution and make a career, so he joined Long Xiang's command, and he was in charge of Tianjing in just over ten years."

Lei Siyu murmured, "If you are a young master who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun, and become a captain in Tianjing, maybe... you can avoid the crime of raiding your home!"

When Zhou Yi heard the first half of the sentence, he took a few steps back without a trace, and put his palm on the cloth bag around his waist.

The cloth bag is filled with lime powder, mixed with the highly poisonous poison taught by a certain death row inmate.

"You are too thief, this official is close to you, but you are always on guard!"

Lei Siyu said: "With such a cautious temperament, it's no wonder that after ten years of meals, he refuses to be promoted."

"We are stupid by nature and don't understand the calculations of big men, so it's better to be a jailer with peace of mind."

Zhou Yi said with a smile: "When we are old, we will pass the jailer to our son, and the son to the grandson. The children and grandchildren have iron rice bowls, and no matter who is in charge of the palace, they will not be hungry!"

"This is a really smart person!"

Lei Siyu said slowly: "In the morning, it was not the news from the palace, but the steward of Long Xiang, who ordered me to falsely convey the will, and lead the forbidden army to attack the imperial city. At the same time, the prison door was opened, and all the prisoners were released, causing chaos in the capital. !"

"How about the adults..."

Zhou Yi was puzzled as to why Lei Si Prison disobeyed the orders of the Dragon Prime Minister.

From the surface, it seems that the general trend of the dragon phase has been completed, and the change of dynasties is imminent.

What's more, Lei Si Prison relies on the power of the Dragon Phase to rise to the top, and has taken care of the Dragon Clan members who have committed crimes all these years.

Once the dragon phase is defeated, the new emperor will clean up the court in the future, and he will not let Lei Si prison be spared.

Lei Siyu looked at the direction of the capital. The torchlight once climbed the city wall, and then fell quickly. Obviously, the battle was fierce.

"This official has a premonition that Long Xiang will lose to His Majesty, so UU read www.uukanshu.com so he disobeys his orders and guards the prison without any trouble, and he can be cut from the whole family and reduced to exile!"

Zhou Yi said, "Lord Lei mobilized the Imperial Guards of the Heavenly Prison and attacked the Dragon Prime Minister from behind. Maybe he could make a great contribution?"

"What if the old man's hunch is wrong? Long Xiang has been in business for 30 years, and it may not be as good as His Majesty's layout!"

Lei Siyu sighed: "When this official was young, he would definitely fight. Now that he is old, even if he has made great contributions, he will not be able to enjoy it."

Zhou Yi secretly scolded that he was indeed an old fox. As long as Lei Siyu stabilizes the prison, no matter who wins, he will be able to retreat.

Waiting to continue talking.

Suddenly.

The rumbling of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.

The ground of Shenjing trembled, and countless black-armored cavalrymen emerged from various markets, gathered together in an orderly manner, and rushed towards the rebels who were attacking the palace.

"kill!"

A long roar sounded like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, obscuring even the sound of horses' hooves.

Lei Siyu said in surprise: "When did a martial arts master appear in the army, His Majesty hides deep enough, and the dragon will be defeated!"

"Master of martial arts!"

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up, and he followed the voice.

It's a pity that it is too far away from the palace, and it seems that there is General Yinjia leading the way to break through the army formation.

The torches that attacked the palace stopped. The imperial guards in front were shooting arrows, and the master of martial arts led the troops to rush into the formation.

The cavalry charged back and forth a few times, and then cut the rebels who were forcibly kneaded by the three forces into several parts to fight each other.

General Yinjia shouted again: "Longtu has been subdued, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

The rebels were leaderless and immediately scattered and collapsed.

On the watchtower.

Zhou Yi immediately smiled when he heard this.

"Tomorrow, there will be a guest in the prison. Those who have grievances will avenge their grievances, and those who have revenge will avenge them!"
