MTL - Our Mommy is the Best Investigator!-Chapter 732 to die
Lin Jinxiao arranged the defense of the palace, and just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ji Huaishu leading Caiwei back. The two of them were anxious, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Staring at Caiwei who was in a state of distress, Lin Jinxiao asked coldly, "What happened?"
"Your Highness, servant servant servant"
Caiwei was panting as if she hadn’t recovered from the fright just now, so Ji Huaishu had no choice but to report for her: "Your Highness, as you expected, Tang Ru and Kang Xiu have led the troops to the palace."
"It came so fast?"
Lin Jinxiao couldn't believe his ears.
Just now when he received the news from Jingzhong, Tang Ru made some moves. It seems that he still underestimated the strength of King Qinghe.
Ji Huaishu obviously didn't expect Tang Ru and the others to move so fast, rubbing his palms in confusion, already lost his mind.
Lin Jinxiao made a prompt decision, fetched the Son of Heaven Sword, and walked out while ordering to Ji Huaishu: "The closest to the palace in the city is the Haiphong Battalion, Ji Shangshu, I will send someone to **** you out of the palace, and you should immediately go to the west of the city with my token The county captain's mansion, notify Li Sanmu and Zheng Haichuan to come to the manor to help, and I will hold them back for a while."
"But there are only 500 guards left in the mansion, how to resist Kang Xiu's strong army from the Central Capital?"
Ji Huaishu asked hesitantly.
The group of people under Kang Xiu's hands are all desperadoes, and they don't want to die for fame.
"It's okay, fortunately, there is still some time to prepare, Lord Shang Shu, don't delay any longer, let's go."
Lin Jinxiao led him out together, ordered all the horses of the palace to be released, ordered him to lead fifty people to break out from the west gate, and immediately ordered the guards to close the gate of the palace, and gathered everyone to the front yard to fend off the enemy.
All of a sudden, the servants of the various courtyards took up weapons one after another, and stood guard at the lower positions of several gates and courtyard walls in full battle.
Ji Huaishu rushed out, and ordered the fifty or so riders under him to go to the west, south, and east of the city in three routes, shouting for help with great fanfare along the way, while he himself found a shop in disguise and quietly He rushed to the county Wei's mansion.
Hearing the movement in the city, Tang Ru guessed that the girl Caiwei must have rushed back to the palace to inform the news, and immediately led someone to shoot and kill the guards who rushed out of the palace to ask for help. The sentry cavalry shot and killed all of them, and let people occupy various city gates.
Then assembled the people and rushed to the Pingning Palace in a hurry. According to the previous agreement, the palace was surrounded by water, and then began to launch a fierce attack.
The aura of dark clouds pressing down on the city caused panic to be heard from all over the palace.
Lin Jinxiao had heard about Kang Xiu's powerful Zhongdu army for a long time, and knew that if both sides were prepared to fight rashly, he would not be sure of victory, so he asked someone to arrest Song Liao, and sat down calmly. In the center of the palace, quietly waiting for the moment of the decisive battle.
Calculating the time, if Ji Huaishu can successfully ask for help, it will take nearly an hour at the fastest. Even if it fails, Li Ce will come to help when he knows that the palace has changed.
Tang Ru rashly launched a rebellion, naturally wanting to take down the palace as soon as possible.
For the current plan, all he can do is delay the time, the longer the delay, the better for himself.
Although the whole palace fought hard to resist for a while, as time passed bit by bit, the rebels led by Tang Ru and Kang Xiu quickly broke through the gate of the palace and rushed to the main hall of the palace from all directions.
The newly appointed military commanders Cao Xuan and Sang Kun led the people back to the main hall in a hurry, looking at Lin Jinxiao who was still calm, Cao Xuan hurriedly urged: "Your Highness, the rebel army has broken through the gate of the mansion, and the last general wishes to lead the troops to protect him." Your Highness breaks out of the city."
"Breakout? How to break out?"
Lin Jinxiao smiled indifferently: "It's the New Year's Eve right now, and government offices at all levels are resting. If this king leaves the city, there will be chaos in the city. At that time, Kang Xiu will take over the coastal defense battalion in the name of the court under the guise of the captain of Sili. , forcibly suppressing the Duwei’s Mansion and controlling Luyan Port, not only will the king’s life be lost, but the state government officials will also suffer.”
Furthermore, if he loses the dominance of Pingning Prefecture, how can Chu Nanzhi, mother and son return to Luyan Port safely?
Silent for a few seconds, he resolutely said: "The safest way right now is to guard the palace, so that Tang Ru has no time to look after him. As long as the news spreads, when reinforcements arrive, Tang Ru and others can be wiped out."
Seeing that Cao Xuan still had concerns, Lin Jinxiao immediately ordered: "Don't think about it anymore, the king is here in the palace, Sang Kun, you and General Cao gather everyone around the palace for security, and order the female family members to take refuge in the palace. , the rest of the people line up in front of the hall, not one person retreats in front of the battle, desperately resisting the rebels from entering the hall, and those who dare to escape will be killed without mercy."
Sang Kun knew that he should not get confused at this time, so he hurriedly left.
Cao Xuan saw that King Pingning had made up his mind to see death as home, and he no longer hesitated. He walked out of the palace and personally supervised the guards and the people of the palace to resist the attack of the rebels.
The disintegrated palace people retreated to the jade steps of the main hall. When they heard that King Pingning was still standing in the hall, and that someone had gone out to ask for help, they suddenly became more courageous. The menacing rebels no longer have the slightest fear.
The maids in the mansion were all sent by the Empress Dowager to serve Lin Jinxiao. In the palace, they were used to seeing those royal clansmen single-mindedly fighting for power and treating human life like nothing. He loves the people like a son, but only loves the master who loves the people like a son, but only loves the tyrants and corrupt officials.
They plucked up their courage, held the tools they usually used, and begged with high ambition: "General Cao, the servants are willing to die for His Highness, and resist the rebels with you."
Seeing that the usually weak and charming daughters are all high-spirited and unwilling to take refuge in the main hall, the guards are encouraged.
Cao Xuan raised his saber high, looked down at the rebels who entered the courtyard, and solemnly shouted: "Die for Your Highness, kill the rebels."
Hearing such an impassioned voice, Tang Ru couldn't help but shudder in his heart. He didn't expect that so many people would not avoid life and death for a foreign prince whose foundation was not stable.
He personally led the men and horses and rushed under the jade steps of the main hall. Looking up at the majestic and majestic palace hall, he raised his voice and shouted: "Your Highness, hurry up and capture me, as long as you are willing to walk down the jade steps, obediently give me a few knocks!" If you surrender and beg for mercy, I will definitely read it to your comrades, save your life, and treat your clansmen kindly."
Hearing the provocative shouts outside, Lin Jinxiao walked out of the hall slowly holding the Tianzi sword, looking down at Tang Ru at the bottom of the jade steps, but unhurriedly drew out the sword and inserted it into the front of the hall, smiling calmly Said: "Tang Confucianism, this king is here, and I won't go anywhere. If you can make half a step up the jade steps today, this king is willing to surrender to you."
"Looking for death."
Tang Ru knew that time was running out, so he didn't dare to delay. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers rushed towards the hall like crazy tigers.
For a while, the shouts of killing were loud.
But what surprised Tang Ru was that the eunuchs, maids, and handymen in the mansion who were holding kitchen knives and sticks suddenly seemed to have been reborn, and they stood in the front without hesitation, and together with the guards of the palace, completely stopped the soldiers. They rushed to the road of the jade steps, so anxious that he sat on the horse and squeezed cold sweat.
