Invincible son

Zhongshan Hou's Mansion, the main hall of the back house.

When a huge explosion sounded from the direction of the palace, before the others could react, Ye Qi stood up abruptly, his star-like eyes glowed with surprise and uncertainty.

Seeing this, Gu Zhen asked nervously, "Sister Ye, what's wrong?"

Ye Qi knew the secret that Pei Yue was hiding, and he had been to the heavily guarded secret room inside Green Willow Manor, and heard him talk about the terrifying power of those black and gray powders.Regardless of the half-hour fireworks set off at the New Marquis' Mansion, or the roar of the salute Pei Yue prepared for her on the day of the wedding, in the eyes of the world, it is nothing more than the elation of a young nobleman, but Ye Qi understands that this means Pei Yue's secret development. Technology is becoming more and more mature.

The strength of gunpowder that Pei Yue said means that a martial arts master with extraordinary talent like her must deal with it carefully.

Even though they were far away, the sound of the explosion could still be heard clearly, Ye Qi subconsciously thought it was Pei Yue's arrangement.

However, she quickly denied this inference, and the reason was very simple. If Pei Yue really planned to do this, it would be impossible to hide it from her and the girls around her, at least she would make the family fully prepared in advance.

Turning his head to look at Gu Zhen's slightly frowned eyes, Ye Qi calmed down, shook his head and said, "There has been a major incident in the palace, but please rest assured that it has nothing to do with your husband. Besides, the people sent by Lord Gu just now See you too, my husband is now dealing with those rebels outside the city, and the changes in the palace will not affect him."

Taohua's small face was wrinkled into a ball because of worry, and she whispered: "Sister Ye, the young master will not be hurt, right?"

Ye Qi has returned to normal at this moment, and said with a smile: "How could your young master be injured? Even I am no match for him now."

Tao Hua caressed her chest with her hand, the big rock hanging in her heart dropped slightly.

Lin Shuyue glanced at Gu Zhen first, and then said to Ye Qi: "Sister, Lord Gu's personal soldiers said that the rebels have already invaded the west city, and now they are heading towards the palace, the young master must also enter the city to lead the battle. There are many rebels, and most of the main force under the command of the young master are in the northern border, and now is the time when we need manpower..."

Gu Zhen stood up and looked at Ye Qi, and said decisively: "Sister Lin is absolutely right, please bring all the guards in the mansion to help Mr. Ye. The target of the rebel army is the palace, and they should not harass us for the time being. If the palace I can't defend it, and I won't be able to rely on hundreds of guards to protect everyone in the future. Sister, please rest assured, if there is any danger, I will take the two younger sisters to hide in the tunnel in time."

Ye Qi thought of Pei Yue's advice in the reply, and couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

Judging from his inference and analysis, Emperor Kaiping has already prepared Wang Pingzhang's rebellion and countermeasures.After Pei Yue returned to Beijing, the messenger from the Longbow Camp of the Western Army confirmed his prediction.Therefore, Wang Pingzhang's failure can be said to be a certainty, unless he has the ability to turn all the Imperial Army and the Kyoto garrison into his own people.

This is obviously nonsense, so Pei Yue repeatedly asked Ye Qi to stay in the mansion and lead the two guards, light and dark, to protect everyone's safety and prevent Wang Pingzhang from jumping over the wall in a hurry after he was doomed to fail.

However, seeing the resolute expressions of the three women around him, Ye Qi said helplessly: "Okay, I will take someone to find my husband, but there must be some people left in the mansion. If the situation is too chaotic, we must guard against someone's harassment .”

After all, why isn't she worried about that guy who always gets into dangerous situations...

All the girls had their own way, Gu Zhen held one on her arm and watched Ye Qi stride away, the spear was already in hand.

Before leaving the mansion, a man in his thirties appeared in front of Ye Qi.

Ye Qi looked at the long sword in his hand, and said calmly, "Mr. Qian, what's the matter?"

"I've seen Mrs. Ye." Qian Bing stepped forward to salute, and then asked, "Madam Ye, but you want to go out of the house to help Lord Pei?"

Ye Qi nodded and said, "That's right."

Qian Bing said sincerely: "If Madam Ye is trustworthy, please sit in the mansion. The villain is willing to protect Hou Ye's Zhouquan with his life."

Naturally, Ye Qi would not be greedy for life and afraid of death, she and Pei Yue have experienced so much wind and rain, they have long put life and death aside.However, this Marquis Mansion is the home of Pei Yue and her, and it is also a thorn in the eyes of Wang Pingzhang and others. They only need to send a team of rebels to capture the Marquis Mansion, and Pei Yue will be cautious, which will have an immeasurable impact on the situation.

She wasn't even sure that if she left with her defensive force, those eyeliners hiding in the dark would immediately gather their hands and rush into the mansion, catching anyone could threaten Pei Yue.

This was the source of her previous hesitation.

Qian Bing said quickly: "Mrs. Ye, the imperial army and the rebel army are now at war. Lord Hou has a lot of experience in the battlefield, and he will not easily fall into the enemy's trap. The only thing to worry about is the sneak attack by the dead soldiers raised by Wang Pingzhang. The villain is not talented. , I’m only good at one thing in this life, please allow Madam Ye.”

Ye Qi nodded and said, "How many people do you need?"

Qian Bing replied bluntly: "The villain is more used to being alone."

Of course Ye Qi knew the weight of Taishi Taige's number one assassin. Assassins are not only good at assassination, but also good at protection.In the chaotic situation that followed, with Qian Bing secretly protecting him, Pei Yue should not be in danger.

Looking at the other person's extremely ordinary face, she asked in a slow tone, "What do you need me to do?"

Qian Bing bowed, did not get up, and said in a deep voice: "The villain wants to exchange this life for Lord Shen's life. After the rebel army is put down, I implore Lord Pei to save Lord Shen!"

The explosion and chaos in the palace are enough to explain many problems, and coupled with the reason why Qian Bing defected to Pei Yue, he obviously already understood the middle-aged man's plan and future destiny.

Ye Qi sighed softly: "I can understand your feelings, but this is a big matter... Please forgive me for not being able to make decisions for Pei Yue."

Qian Bing said with emotion: "Thank you Madam Ye for your understanding. The villain dare not ask for a guarantee. I only hope that Madam Ye can tell Lord Pei the conversation just now."

Ye Qi said seriously: "I will tell you word for word."

Qian Bing saluted again, then turned around and strode away.

One person with one sword, the back is heroic, not as cautious as in the past.

……

Outside the palace, the rebels attacked like a wave.

The Kyoto garrison suffered heavy losses during the two-hour battle of defending the city, and had to leave some troops to guard the gates of the cities, because there was still a large army of the southern battalion outside the city.In addition, they stayed in the outer city to leave a pass for Qin Wang's division to enter the capital, so Xiao Jin could only bring more than 3000 soldiers.

The number of the imperial army is 1. Because Wang Jiuxuan was the commander of an army before and then placed his confidantes, the number of troops lost after cleaning up those people.

There are about 2000 soldiers guarding the palace. It seems that the army is not weak, but the palace is not as easy to defend as the outer city of Kyoto. For those fierce rebels, the palace wall is not an insurmountable natural barrier .

After a brief discussion, Gu Liang, Xiao Jin, and Li Zi reached an agreement, ordering the defenders to shrink inward, abandon the positions outside the nine palace gates, and concentrate all their forces to defend the palace city.

The rebels pressed forward.

Although the Nanying soldiers stopped attacking after Luo Huanzhang was held hostage by Pei Yue, he was unable to restrain all the Nanying soldiers. At least the Qishanwei and Longxiangwei who had been transferred earlier obviously obeyed Wang Pingzhang's orders more.

More than [-] rebels surrounded the palace from the east, south, and west directions, and the main direction of attack was the Chengtian Gate in the south.

Only by taking down the imperial palace, controlling the harem and all important officials, can the follow-up be carried out smoothly.

The final fight was approaching, all the soldiers held their breaths and concentrated, and no one showed any anxiety or hesitation at this moment.
