Outside Fang Mansion, the war was raging more and more fiercely.

Pan Shangshu stood in the square in front of the main entrance of Fang Mansion with a livid face. He knew that behind this heavy door, there was a person inside who he had hated and feared for decades, the two emperors and ministers.

He has been a friend and an enemy for decades. As long as he catches him, the nightmares and haze that have been haunting him all these years will be swept away. This makes him more excited than being an emperor.

.

The attack on Fang Mansion has been going on for half an hour, and each attack was ruthlessly defeated by the imperial army. As expected of the emperor's personal army, at this critical moment, two to three thousand people actually blocked nearly ten thousand rebels.

Crazy attacks. Without solid fortifications or invulnerable armor, the Imperial Guards only relied on the standard steel knives and spears in their hands to block the rebels from the gate of Fang Mansion time and time again, making no further progress possible.

.

"Sir, order the sergeants to set fire to the house! If we continue to fight like this, we will suffer heavy casualties!" Zhao Hu's usually calm face showed a little anxiety. As a soldier, he only knows how to win every battle by any means necessary.

The victory of the battle, because the battlefield situation is ever-changing, time is the most precious for both the enemy and us, especially now, when personal lives are involved, it cannot be delayed.

"Absolutely not!" Pan Shangshu sternly rejected Zhao Hu's proposal.

"The four armies have not risen as promised. I am sure that they will not be able to come. In other words, now only your 30,000 troops are left to support the city. As long as any of the troops stationed outside the city comes to King Qin, you and I will

No one can escape death. The only plan now is to capture the emperor alive and hold the emperor hostage to order the princes. In just a few days, my disciples and old officials all over the world will rise up and respond, and the generals who are loyal to me in the various armies will also rise up to support me.

, Therefore, the emperor cannot die! If he dies, you and I will also be on the road to death, do you understand? "

Zhao Hu nodded with understanding, and then said anxiously: "Hundreds of forbidden troops just rushed out. I estimate that they went to move reinforcements outside the city. I sent troops to pursue them and killed them. However, the leader

No trace."

"Who is the leader?"

"Fang Zheng."

"Is it him?" Pan Shangshu's expression changed and his eyes narrowed slightly, "He has always had a close relationship with Feng Qiudao of the Longwu Army. I guess Fang Zheng went to find him to bring in reinforcements."

Then Pan Shangshu smiled coldly: "Let him go. When he gets to the Longwu Army camp, he will know that Feng Qiudao is also a mud Buddha crossing the river and cannot protect himself."

Zhao Hu felt relieved a little, drew out his saber with a clang, and shouted at the rebel soldiers: "Charge me again! You must rush in before dawn!"

"Charge!" The soldier stared with bloodshot eyes, raised his weapon high, and launched another fierce attack on the gate of Fang Mansion like a tide.

Shence Army Military Camp.

The prince is sitting leisurely in the handsome tent, looking at a map of the capital with great interest. The map has been messy with lines of various colors. It looks like a naughty boy scribbling on the paper, and then nothing.

It was a discarded object thrown away out of interest, but the prince looked at it with gusto, as if he was admiring a unique painting by a famous artist.

Liu Changsheng sat opposite the prince, looking at the prince's gentle smiling face, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Liu Changsheng is the leading general of the Shence Army, which is stationed in a camp less than seventy miles away from the capital.

Pan Shangshu rebelled, and the capital was captured by the rebels. Now the rebels have surrounded the imperial palace and Fang Mansion. Of course, he knows all this information.

Now he felt very panic. Although he had already sworn allegiance to the prince, and now the emperor was trapped in the city, the prince unexpectedly appeared outside his military camp late at night and strictly ordered him not to use any troops rashly. In his heart

It was one thing to swear allegiance to the prince while struggling constantly, but seeing the emperor in trouble but not being able to send troops to rescue him was still a bit unacceptable to Liu Changsheng, who had been educated in loyalty to the emperor for decades...

But he didn't dare to show his thoughts. He knew better than anyone what kind of person the prince was. On the surface, he looked gentle and courteous, but in fact, the prince became vicious. Even he, a general who had experienced many battles and killed many people,

I couldn't help but feel scared and trembling.

"General Liu, can't wait any longer?" the prince asked casually, staring at the map.

"I don't dare!" Liu Changsheng quickly prostrated and replied in fear. He knew that if the prince had doubts about his loyalty, then he would definitely not see the sun tomorrow. Sadly, the generals in the Shence Army

, Liu Changsheng is not the only one who is loyal to the prince. The prince has firmly controlled this army in his own hands. At best, he is just a puppet who looks majestic on the surface. Such a puppet is still in the Shence Army.

There are many. His Highness the Crown Prince would not mind if someone comes up to sit in the general's seat.

"General Liu, don't be afraid, I believe in you." The prince smiled gently at Liu Changsheng. If you only looked at his appearance, everyone would have to admit that in the future, His Royal Highness will be a kind, generous, smart and wise king.

Liu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, lowered his head in thanks, and then stood up. He reminded himself in his heart not to talk nonsense, and even to control his expression and eyes, not to show any concern for the emperor, otherwise

, at this critical moment, His Royal Highness will not hesitate to eradicate anyone he does not trust.

"The situation is still unclear." The prince put down the map of the capital that he had been studying for a long time and sighed softly.

Liu Changsheng asked tentatively: "May I ask what your Highness means -"

"Wait a minute, if Gu's teacher fails to succeed, and we rashly raise an army, wouldn't we be making wedding clothes for others?" The prince said calmly, "As long as the teacher kills the father, Gu will have sufficient reason to lead the army to attack.

In the city, annihilate the rebels, give my father a grand burial, and then... ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor."

When the words "enthroned the throne and proclaimed himself emperor" were mentioned, a hint of fanaticism flashed in the prince's eyes.

"If the general is brave enough, what will happen if Pan Shangshu captures the emperor alive and holds the emperor hostage to order the princes?"

"Even if my father is captured alive by Gu's teacher, he won't live long. My father has been planning to deal with his teacher for several years. How can Gu be idle?" The prince smiled, with a cold light in his eyes.

"It's a pity that we have too few troops. Otherwise, if we attack the city at this time, in the chaos of the army, my father and teacher may not be spared from the sword. Then Gu Zai will blame the teacher for killing my father.

Who in the world can say that Gu did something wrong?"

"Your Highness, our Shence Army has more than 50,000 people, and Pan Shangshu's rebels in the city only have 30,000. If we want to annihilate them, these troops seem to be enough..."

"No, even if the rebels are annihilated, the casualties of the Shence Army will definitely be large. Can you guarantee that there are no other armies secretly coveting the throne? What if they start a rebellion while I am severely weakened?"

The prince sneered and said: "The mantis stalks the cicada, I will always be the oriole, and I will never allow others to wait for the fishermen to profit behind me!"

----------------------------------

Among the ruins, Fang Zheng was sleeping with his eyes closed.

He needs to rest. The amount of exercise today is too great. For him who does not know martial arts and has a mediocre physique, it is already overloaded.

But his mind didn't rest, he was still thinking.

Pan Shangshu is like a vicious and unreasonable casino dealer. He arbitrarily bets the wealth and lives of everyone in the capital and even the world on the gambling table. He doesn't care whether others want it or not. He has become red-eyed from gambling.

Staring at the dice cup on the gambling table like a madman, preparing to know the result.

It's pity that I, a pampered young man, have to sacrifice my whole family's wealth and lives to gamble with this madman, and before he reveals the result, I have to do something to change this seemingly unchangeable situation.

result.….

He now doesn't know what the situation is like in Fang Mansion. Whether it has been captured by the rebels or whether his father, mother, wife and emperor have been captured by Pan Shangshu. In panic and anxiety, Fang Zheng's mind is spinning very fast. He knows

, only reason and calmness can save yourself and everyone.

Gently moving his hands and feet, Fang Zheng has already made a plan in his mind to leave the city. This plan is not aboveboard, but only in this way can he maximize his strengths. As for what his strengths are, - cough

, no need to explain it so clearly.

After straightening his clothes, Fang Zheng searched all over his body and only found a small throwing knife used by his killer brother. It was this knife that shot the horse in the butt, causing him to almost lose his life. The armor and saber were too eye-catching.

, Fang Zheng had already thrown them away, and now he was wearing a silk gown dressed as a rich young man, looking very ordinary, as ordinary as any rich young man in the capital.

As long as the expression is a little more realistic, no one will believe that this rich young man with a panic-stricken face is the young general who just led the three hundred forbidden troops to break out of the encirclement with murderous intent.

From time to time, the rebels' screams could be heard outside the alley. It seemed that the rebels' search for him had not stopped yet. It was very dangerous to go out now. The rebels had gone crazy in the city, and many civilians had been massacred for no reason.

Fang Zheng found a well, washed his face, and tidied his messy hair, trying to look like a rich young man who had just woken up.

Then Fang Zheng suppressed the fear in his heart, crouched quietly to the entrance of the alley, stuck his head out, and looked around to observe what was going on in the street.

Finally, a lone rebel soldier caught his eye. The soldier was holding a knife in his hand, and he kept pulling it in the grass on the street. He cursed uncleanly, and he didn't know what he was cursing.

.

Fang Zheng was overjoyed in his heart, and quickly adjusted the expression on his face, then hurriedly ran to the soldier, and said in a timid and fearful tone: "... this military master, you, cough, thank you for your hard work.

!”

The soldier was startled. He raised his head and looked at Fang Zheng warily. Seeing that Fang Zheng was wearing a silk gown, his hair was meticulously combed and shiny, and he looked at him with a humble and flattering smile on his face, the soldier immediately relaxed his guard a little.

In troubled times, human life is as worthless as grass. No matter how rich you are, in times of war, no one dares to disrespect soldiers. This is the case with the rich young master in front of you.

"What's the matter with you?" The soldier was still very young, only fifteen or sixteen years old. Seeing that the rich young master, who was usually aloof and arrogant, was so respectful to him, the soldier couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

Fang Zheng smiled very flatteringly and kept offering his hands to the soldiers. His attitude was as flattering as that of a turtle in a brothel who saw his client.

"This military master, are you... uh, busy?" Fang Zheng pretended to chat with him.

The soldier rolled his eyes and hummed, "What does it have to do with you?"

"Hey, little brother, I just want to make friends with you, Master Jun. Just tell me. The city is in such chaos that my family is not at ease. I came out to inquire about the news." As he said this, Fang Zheng stuffed a banknote.

It fell into the hands of the soldier, smiling at him with a fawning smile on his face.

Have poor soldiers ever seen such a thing as a banknote? When the soldier saw the banknote in his hand, he couldn't help but be elated, and Fang Zheng's attitude became more enthusiastic: "It's none of your family's business, we were just ordered to find someone nearby.

, we will leave as soon as you find us, we won’t disturb you, as long as you stay at home and don’t run around, you will be fine.”

Fang Zheng looked puzzled and said, "Oh? Who are you looking for? Let me know if I can help."

The soldier did not doubt that he was there, and said casually: "Look for a young man, wearing armor, damn it! The brothers have been busy for more than half an hour, and they can't find any trace of him!"….

"Oh, is that young man wearing brown armor with a lot of arrows on the back?"

The soldier was overjoyed when he heard this. He pressed Fang Zheng's shoulders and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes."

"Is he riding a dark horse?"

"Yeah."
