People write diaries in Zongwu, and the heroes collapse

Chapter 678: Battle of the Capital (1)

Marquis An Zhen, who had rushed out of the palace, was in a very miserable state and covered in blood. He leaned against the wall and gasped. It took him a long time to recover.

"Damn you Liu Jiyan, how dare you betray my father."

Marquis An Zhen was furious and thought that Liu Ji Yan had betrayed them, otherwise why would the people from the Six Gates come to kill them.

The Six Gates had been controlled by Liu Jiyan for some time. Without his order, how could Ji Yaohua come here?

"My Lord, what should we do now?"

A guard from the palace asked.

A total of four guards from the palace followed him and rushed out. These four guards were all first-class masters.

"Go to the Divine Guards camp, and notify the martial arts sects in the capital that have joined us, and have them join forces to capture the capital. As long as the capital is in our hands, what does Zhao Ji matter to us?"

An Zhenhou said coldly.

"My Lord, if you mobilize the imperial guards now, what about the prince?"

An Zhenhou said with a gloomy face: "We can't care so much now. The court has already taken action against us. We don't have time. Among the four armies, the Divine Guard Army and the Dragon Guard Army are already under our control, and the Tianwu Army was beaten by Lu Chen last time and has not yet recovered. As for the Pengri Army, although I haven't completely controlled it, I have two armies in my hands, so it is not difficult to capture the capital."

"Moreover, this is a rare opportunity. Zhuge Shenhou was severely injured, Tie Shou and the other four famous detectives were crippled of their martial arts, and the old eunuch Kuihua was also restrained. This is simply a godsend for me."

After saying this, Marquis An Zhen laughed out loud.

The top four armies of the Imperial Guard are the Pengri Army, the Tianwu Army, the Longwei Army, and the Shenwei Army. The Tianwu Army was defeated by Lu Chen last time in order to stop Lu Chen.

Now he must take advantage of this rare opportunity to mobilize the Divine Guard and the Dragon Guard to seize the capital and the throne in one fell swoop.

As long as the capital was occupied, people all over the world would respond. After all, Zhao Ji had lost the support of the people because of what he did when he was emperor.

"Hurry, they are right ahead, chase them!"

Hearing the voice coming from behind, An Zhenhou didn't dare to rest and said, "Let's go quickly."

However, the Six Gates Constables and the Imperial Guards soon caught up.

"My Lord, hurry up and let's stop them."

The four master guards were very loyal and let Marquis An Zhen go first while they blocked the pursuers.

An hour later, Marquis An Zhen finally arrived at the Divine Guard Army camp.

General Rong Bo of the Divine Guard was very surprised to see Marquis An Zhen in such a state of disgrace: "My Lord, what are you doing..."

An Zhenhou waved his hand and said, "Stop talking. Father trusted the wrong person."

So, he told everything that had just happened. When Rong Bo heard it, he said angrily, "Damn Liu Jiyan, I have long seen that this person has evil intentions. For the sake of fame and wealth, he dared to betray the prince. I will lead the troops to kill him now."

"Liu Jiyan deserves to die, but our priority now is not to kill Liu Jiyan, but to take advantage of the chaos in the capital, attack the city and occupy the palace in one fell swoop."

"Send someone to inform the general of the Dragon Guard right now and have him gather the troops immediately. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Marquis An Zhen said in a deep voice.

"My Lord, this... is without the order of the prince..."

Although Rong Bo did not finish his words, his meaning was clear enough. Such a big matter must have the prince's order.

Mobilizing a large army is no joke; it's a rebellion, and if it fails the entire clan will be killed.

"Father is trying to contain Sunflower Patriarch. Now that we have come to this point, there is no way out. Only by seizing the capital can we all survive."

Marquis An Zhen said in a deep voice.

"But this..."

Rong Bo was about to speak, but with a swish, Marquis An Zhen drew out Rong Bo's saber and put it on his neck: "Father is not here, so you have to listen to me now, understand?"

"I understand."

Rong Bo knew that Marquis Anzhen was arrogant. If he disagreed, Marquis Anzhen would kill him and take control of the army himself.

All the generals under his command had pledged allegiance to King Zuo Wu, so even without him, Marquis An Zhen could still mobilize the army.

Rong Bo immediately went to gather troops and sent someone else to the Dragon Guard Army camp.

……

In the palace, Concubine Wei was fighting fiercely with two old eunuchs. Her martial arts were better than those of the two old eunuchs, but the two old eunuchs had strange movements, were too fast, and cooperated very well, so they were able to entangle her.

When she was being harassed by two old eunuchs, Liu Jiyan brought people to the Yangxin Palace and saw this scene.

"How did you come?"

Zhao Ji was very displeased when he saw Liu Jiyan.

Liu Jiyan hurriedly said: "I sensed that the emperor was in danger, so I rushed here to protect him."

After hearing this, Zhao Ji's anger subsided a little.

"It's good that you're here, so go ahead and capture this witch."

Zhao Ji said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Liu Jiyan responded, then took a single sword from his subordinate, flew up and joined the battlefield.

Liu Ji Yan’s joining doubled the pressure on Concubine Wei.

Liu Jiyan is very skilled in martial arts, and when he joined the battle, Concubine Wei was at a loss.

"Liu Jiyan, you still dare to show up?"

Concubine Wei had an ugly look on her face. If it weren't for Liu Ji Yan, she would have been able to absorb the dragon energy in the palace. However, all this was ruined by Liu Ji Yan.

"Witch, don't surrender yet."

Liu Jiyan shouted with a serious face, and his hands moved quickly, swinging out more than ten times in succession, each knife aimed at Wei Guiren's vitals.

"Humph, you're dreaming if you want me to surrender."

Concubine Wei snorted coldly and swung out three palms in a row. The terrifying palm force pushed the three people back. Then she looked at Zhao Ji and said, "You dog emperor, I will come to you again."

Seeing that this evil woman was still thinking about the dragon energy on him, Zhao Ji was so angry that he shouted, "Kill her!"

Upon seeing this, Concubine Wei leaped away and disappeared from their sight.

Liu Ji Yan chased after him immediately, but the two old eunuchs did not, as they were afraid that they had been tricked into leaving the mountain to dig a tiger away.

Only after seeing Concubine Wei escape did Zhao Ji finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After resting for a while, he immediately ordered a secret investigation of all the concubines in the palace. He didn't want to be beheaded one night.

Zhao Ji did not wait for the news that Liu Jiyan had captured Concubine Wei, but heard even worse news.

Ji Yaohua entered the palace and reported to him the rebellion in Prince Zuo Wu's mansion.

Zhao Ji had long known that Zuo Wu Wang was restless, but he had never thought that he would actually rebel. "Are you sure that Zuo Wu Wang really rebelled?"

"To your Majesty, I am very sure that on my way to the palace, the spy from the Six Gates sent me news that Marquis An Zhen has gone to the Divine Guard. According to the intelligence from the spy, the Divine Guard may have been controlled by Prince Zuo Wu. If he goes to the Divine Guard at this time, he is very likely to mobilize the Divine Guard to enter the capital."

Ji Yaohua replied.

"What? The Divine Guards are actually controlled by King Zuo Wu..."

Zhao Ji's body swayed and he almost fell to the ground. The Divine Guard Army was one of the top four armies and they were all the elite among the imperial guards. If they were controlled by King Zuo Wu, the capital would be in real danger.
