Lanke Chess Edge

In the backyard of Prince Wu's Mansion, the servants led Du Changsheng slowly towards the banquet hall. Every time he passed an intersection or gate, the servants of the Prince's Mansion would extend their hands to invite him, which was considered a courtesy.

"Tianshi Du, this way please."

"good!"

Walked through the porch, walked through the garden, and walked among the pavilions for a long time before arriving at the place for tonight's banquet. There were still a group of servants preparing for the dinner, but Du Changsheng looked over and found no other guests .

"Uh... just now, the adults from the prince's side didn't come over?"

Du Changsheng asked the people around him.

"If you go back to Tianshi, maybe the prince still has something to do, you can wait here for a while, please use the pastry and preserved fruit on the table first!"

While they were talking, another servant hurried over from the front and walked to Du Changsheng outside the banquet hall to salute.

"Du Tianshi, the prince has ordered that Tianshi and the guests can eat first. He has something to do today, so he won't come."

"Then, what about the other guests?"

"I'll be there right away, Heavenly Master, please be seated first!"

Du Changsheng nodded with a smile on his face.

"good."

Just waiting for the person who sent the message to leave, Du Changsheng looked around and then looked in the direction of the front hall of the palace, and there was a billowing red flame in a trance.

Shaking the collar, the inside is full of sweaty heat.

"Oh my mother, if you don't come early, don't come late, today is really not the time, isn't the almanac issued by Si Tianjian auspicious today... Forget it, forget it, don't slip away at this time, I am afraid that you will be involved in a big event... '

Sweat was seeping from Du Changsheng's body, but he didn't show it on his face. He asked others with a smile.

"Excuse me, is there a toilet near the banquet hall?"

"Du Tianshi, the toilet is at the end of the long corridor on the left behind the banquet hall, and the villain will take you there."

"Oh, no need, Du can go there by himself, you are busy, you are busy!"

Du Changsheng used his urine escape to bypass the banquet hall, walk through the back corridor, and reach the edge of the latrine. After checking left and right, he took out a bag from his inner chest pocket, and carefully took out a small yellow paper cut into a human shape from inside. .

"Why……"

Sighing, Du Changsheng frowned, bit his index finger, and spotted a drop of blood on the yellow paper.

"The Hercules are summoned!"

The human-shaped yellow paper fell down, and after a yellow halo diffused, the yellow paper expanded rapidly, and a figure from shriveled to strong appeared in the place where the paper fell in an instant. A real person, if you look closely, it looks like an exquisite paper figurine in a white shop.

"Quickly, help me out of the house!"

Du Tianshi said something impatiently, so Lishi bent down to use it as a stool, Tianshi stepped on its back, then Lishi stood up slowly, and sent Tianshi to climb the wall.

"Hey, hey, be careful, slow down... Oops!"

He climbed over this fence in a hurry and fell when he landed. Fortunately, he was also cleansed by spiritual energy and his body was strong, so the fall was not too painful.

Looking at this remote alley outside, Du Changsheng raised his hand to pick up the falling yellow paper, and then hurried away, but the yellow paper didn't come.

‘Oops, it didn’t fall back into the yard, did it? How can this be good! '

It must be flipped back. Things are too important. Just as he was about to take another piece of yellow paper, Du Changsheng looked up at the courtyard wall, and found a strange paper bird on the courtyard wall at the corner of the palace. The bird's head seems to be still holding his yellow paper.

‘Which urchin’s? Got stuck when the yellow paper flew over? '

Du Changsheng was stunned for a moment, looked left and right, found a fairly long dead branch, and held it up to remove the paper bird and yellow paper, but the branch just poked through, and the paper bird on the courtyard wall actually flapped its wings He flew up by himself, startling Du Changsheng.

"Can fly? Hey, wait! My paper wrestler!"

In a moment of impatience, Du Changsheng chased the paper bird all the way and ran in the side alley. When he passed through the long alley, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and regained his composure.

‘How can there be a paper bird that can fly by itself in the world? Could it be that it has encountered some kind of monster? Or met some real expert? Should I chase or not? '

When he was thinking about it, he found that the paper bird was parked on the wall on the side of the alley, with a humanoid yellow paper sandwiched between the beak and the bird's neck, facing him. Although the paper bird should have no eyes, Du Changsheng always felt that he was watching. Own.

'It's too evil, let's slip away...'

Just as Du Changsheng was about to turn around, he saw a man in green shirt approaching from the other side of the alley. The paper bird immediately flew up and landed on the man's shoulder with the yellow paper in human shape.

"The method used by Tianshi Du is unique. My surname is Ji. I wonder if I can have the honor to invite Tianshi to talk and drink tea with me?"

Du Changsheng looked at the person who came, no matter how he looked at him, he was an ordinary person, but under this kind of timing and circumstances, no matter how he thought about it, he was not ordinary. Upon closer inspection, the other person's eyes seemed to be abnormal, and the paper bird fell. to the man's shoulders.

"Uh...Du still has some urgent matters, it may be inconvenient..."

"Oh, Tianshi, please go ahead... Return the things to Tianshi."

The first half of Ji Yuan's sentence was addressed to Du Changsheng, and the second half to Zhihe, but the latter didn't move with the yellow paper in his hands, as if he didn't want to return it.

"Huh? You don't even listen to what I say?"

The paper crane twitched its two paper wings, then flew up again, and flew to the top of Du Changsheng's head with the yellow paper, then let go of its head, allowing the yellow paper to fall.

"Since that's the case, Ji said goodbye and disturbed Tianshi Du."

Seeing Du Changsheng catch the yellow paper, Ji Yuan cupped his hands and turned to leave.

"Sir, please stay, sir, please stay!"

Du Changsheng almost instinctively opened his mouth to keep people, and after a little hesitation, he quickly chased after Ji Yuan in three steps at a time.

When the two were talking to a teahouse on Yongning Street.

Ji Yuan also turned his head to look at the aura rising from the Prince Wu's mansion in the distance. A prince gave out such murderous intent that it even affected the atmosphere of the imperial city, and said something with emotion.

"I think it will be very peaceful tonight!"

Du Changsheng looked at the people beside him, and happened to see those blue eyes turning their heads to look at them. There was no wave but deep in them, and there was no reflection.

"Uh, sir, you mean Prince Wu's Mansion?"

"Hehe, that's right."

. . .

In Zhang Jian's camp, a messenger expert from Prince Wu's mansion quietly entered the commander's barracks and conveyed King Wu's order.

"What did you say!?"

Qian Junke, who was eating, stood up immediately upon hearing this.

"Your Highness is ordered to raise troops to force the palace! Commander Qian, Conglong's contribution is tonight!"

Qian Junke closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were firm.

"The matter has come to this point, there is no way out! Okay, let's raise troops!"

...

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The sound of drums in the camp was loud.

"Hurry up, prepare armor and weapons, everyone gather!"

Everywhere in Zhang Jian's camp was the sound of soldiers gathering, the sound of orderly footsteps and the clash of weapons and armor.

"Hurry up, everyone, the crossbowmen bring their arrows!"

"Great changes have taken place in the imperial palace. There are traitors holding His Majesty hostage. We have ordered His Highness King Wu to quickly enter the palace to serve the King! Hurry up, hurry up, this is a major event that concerns the world!"

Under similar agitation, all soldiers were extremely nervous.

Except for Zhang Jianying, soldiers from the Beixuan Camp and the Southern Army gathered in groups at nightfall.

Later, King Wu put on his clothes and held a sword, and personally led a group of military officials and masters of the palace, and led the soldiers to rush to the palace.

The setting sun was still dim in the sky, and some big lanterns in front of the palace had just been lit, and the imperial guards guarding the palace suddenly found that a large number of soldiers had invaded the imperial city, and it turned out that King Wu was leading them.

"Stop! His Royal Highness King Wu, this is the imperial palace. You came here with soldiers. Could it be that you want to rebel?"

The goalkeeper held his knife in both hands and glared, while soldiers were already there to summon him.

"There are thieves who hijacked my father and disrupted my Dazhen court. This king received the news and led all the kings, and those who stop him will be killed without mercy!"

"Zheng~" "Zheng~" "Zheng~"...

Having reached this point, King Wu didn't talk too much nonsense at all. After waving his hands, the soldiers in the rear drew out their weapons and rushed to the palace, and the opposing sides immediately started fighting.

On the long street outside the Prince Jin's mansion, the surroundings of King Jin's carriage were also engaged in fighting, and even King Jin himself was fighting with a sword.

There are all masters around, except for the high-level confrontation, the fight around the constantly advancing carriage is particularly fierce, even if he secretly prepared hidden guards, but this time there are too many people, the number must have exceeded a hundred .

"puff…"

Cutting meat with bare blades, an assassin was hacked to death next to King Jin. Before the guard who did it had time to catch his breath, he suddenly felt like a light was on his back.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Whoosh whoosh...

Dozens of crossbow arrows flew over.

"Dud duk..." "Dangdang..." "Puff puff..."

At least three of the guards were shot dead, and King Jin himself was shot in the left arm.

Amidst the wailing sounds of the horses that seemed to be able to tear the eardrums, the horses dragged the broken carriage on a rampage.

"teacher!"

"Your Highness, you are injured!" "Protect Your Highness!"

"Stop the carriage, the teacher is still on it!"

"It's the yellow crossbow! Your Highness, hurry up, maybe the imperial army is here too!"

King Jin was covered in sweat, he gritted his teeth and tied the wound tightly.

"Stop the carriage, don't panic, it's not the imperial army's heavy troops, it's because they have embezzled heavy weapons from the arsenal, go and stop the carriage!"

A few guards supported King Jin and ran wildly together, while the remaining dozen or so masters fought desperately left and right, chasing the carriage ahead.

At this moment, the injured horses on the carriage looked like crazy monsters, leading the carriage on a rampage in front, and a few masters jumped up and fought on the carriage to clear the way.

Whoosh whoosh...

This is the sound of the killing yellow crossbow. After the crossbow shot, several guards fell to protect King Jin, and more and more dead soldiers surrounded and killed them. Fist is no match for four hands.

"How long will it take for our people to arrive?"

"The people who scattered into the city a few days ago should all be here!"

"Kill out, kill out...to the direction of the Gyeonggi government office!"

. . .

At midnight, King Wu, who was also covered in blood, led the sergeants who fought all the way to the outside of the emperor's study room. There were only two hundred forbidden troops and a dozen guards with swords in front of the emperor.

At this time, Emperor Yuande was still reading books in the imperial study.

Of course, he knew about the night-time battle that shook the sky. Even when the first few lines of defense in the palace were not breached, a secret report came in, saying that King Jin had been assassinated by many assassins outside the palace, and then broke through and fled into the area of ​​the capital.

"Your Majesty... If, if Qian Commands them really..."

The old eunuch's forehead was covered with sweat. He knew that His Majesty had already made arrangements, but he couldn't hold back in this situation.

The emperor looked at him and put down the book in his hand.

"Then let him win the world."

The old emperor dragged his tired body up from the slump.

"Let's go and meet Gu's son, Li Sizhe."

"The old slave is here!"

"Bring the letter of uploading the position."

The old eunuch was stunned for a moment, and asked subconsciously.

"Which one?"

Emperor Yuande laughed "hehe".

"The king's share."

"yes!"

The old eunuch walked slowly to the bookcase next to the dragon's case, and opened an agarwood wooden box, which contained two volumes of imperial edicts. To make sure he hadn't taken them by mistake, he opened them and looked at them.

These two volumes of imperial edicts belonged to King Wu and King Jin respectively, and the dates were both on the first day of September, which was the day when Yin Zhao advanced to Jingmiansheng.
