At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 466 I go to fight the thief
Outside the city of Orkhon, the cold wind blows.

The soldiers and horses of the Mobei Guard had assembled. Gula was wearing armor and riding a tall horse. His eyes were sharp, and he could see a smug smile inadvertently.

Xiqike was tied up and escorted to the front of the battle.

Cao Nai and Kuang Ye looked at each other, then nodded.

Gula drew out the shining steel knife and shouted loudly: "All officers and soldiers, there is news from the capital that the emperor is lost!"

These days, the news about the disappearance of the emperor has been spread, and everyone has heard of it more or less. Now that Gula has personally admitted it, they know that the rumors are true.

"The emperor disappeared on the way to Mobei, and I called you together today to find the emperor!"

As he spoke, Gula held the knife and pointed at Xiqike.

"This is the person who, in order to avenge himself first, did not hesitate to collude with foreign enemies, kill the king and plot rebellion. With the authorization of the cabinet ministers, he will be killed on the spot today!"

There was an explosion immediately, and everyone was talking about it. Qi Qike served as the commander of the Mobei Guard for five years and was very popular with the people. Unexpectedly, everything was just pretending!

At the same time, someone said: "I have already said, she is the daughter of Yexian, how could she be loyal to Daming?"

"It turns out that we were all deceived by her. She really knows people and faces but doesn't know her heart!"

"Fortunately, General Gula found out in time, otherwise, wouldn't we all become rebels under her hands?"

These people were arranged by Gu La, and they were mixed among the soldiers.

Sure enough, when everyone was still in a daze, when they heard these remarks, they had preconceived notions, and began to point and point at Qi Qike. All the kindness over the years was wiped out, replaced by conspiracy, insidious, vicious ...

When the emotions were stirred up, someone immediately shouted: "The general is wise, the general is wise!"

Someone took the lead, and immediately more people shouted together, and the scene was very spectacular.

Sitting at the front of the crowd, Cao Nai and Kuang Ye witnessed the emotional changes of the soldiers of Mobeiwei.

Although the two of them didn't want to see Qiqike either, but such a scene seemed...somewhat abnormal?

In the past five years, from the reports of Mobeiwei, we can know that earth-shaking changes have taken place here.

The Mongolian tribes have sincerely attached themselves to the imperial court, and the people's livelihood has been greatly improved. It has to be admitted that Xiqike is a talented person.

It's just because of her background that most people in the court don't like her.

But why do the locals have such a big emotion?
You know, you are full of food and live a good life, it is brought to you by others.

Without Qiqike, the Mongolian tribes would be in a state of disunity, and it would be difficult to unite in a short period of time.

It will even give those who have evil intentions an opportunity to turn against the court.

Gula took a glance and saw the astonishment on the faces of the two, and said immediately: "My lords, it's not too late, the humble ones set out immediately, intercept the enemy army, and rescue the emperor!"

The implication is that I am going to kill someone.

If I kill someone, I will save the emperor.

Cao Nai quietly tugged at the corner of Kuang Ye's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Did you find anything wrong?"

Kuang Ye shook his head lightly, and replied in a low voice: "Saving the emperor is the most important thing, other things... don't care!"

Obviously, he also noticed something strange, but he was concerned about the emperor's safety and had no time to take care of it.

The two looked at each other again and made a decision at the same time.

If something happens to the emperor, Daming's sky will collapse. As for this Qiqike... Forget it, just die!

Gula asked again: "My lords, it's getting late."

Cao Nai looked at Qi Qike for the last time, and asked, "Let me ask you one last time, what did you do to the emperor?"

Xi Qike smiled miserably, and sarcastically said: "The emperor is so wise, why are his subordinates so foolish?"

Kuang Ye raised his eyebrows coldly, and said angrily: "When you are about to die, do you still want to use your tongue?"

Qiqike ignored him, but turned to look at Gula.

"Gula, these years, I really underestimated you."

Gula looked terrified, and said in a deep voice: "The two adults are asking you something, as long as you hand over the emperor, the humble official will intercede for you, maybe you can survive."

Qiqike sighed, and said: "You usually smuggle supplies to Raksha people, I turn a blind eye to avoid fratricide, but I didn't expect that you are so ruthless, not only want to replace As a commander, I am still colluding with foreign enemies and plotting evil things!"

Gula smiled faintly, and said, "Qiqike, don't think that you can sow discord with just a few words, the opportunity has been given to you, and you choose the path yourself!"

As he spoke, he raised the long knife in his hand and wanted to cut it off.

Knowing that he was doomed to die, Xi Qike simply closed his eyes and waited to be killed.

A trace of ferocity flashed across Gula's face...

"stop!"

A rush of horseshoes sounded, Gula's expression changed, and he looked at the person coming.

His confidants understood and immediately stepped forward to intercept him.

"Military important places, no trespassing!"

I saw a group of five people riding forward quickly, without any intention of slowing down.

Cao Nai and Kuang Ye looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

Who dares to trespass on the barracks?
Anger rose on Gula's face, and he waved his hand behind him.

More than a dozen personal guards in armor stepped forward, and their long knives were unsheathed one after another.

The knight on the horse didn't pay attention to these people at all, grabbed the rein with one hand, raised the other hand high, and shouted: "I am Zhu Ji, the Jinyi Guard, and I have an imperial edict!"

When everyone heard the words, their faces changed.

Cao Nai and Kuang Ye had surprise and joy on their faces, they hurried forward and asked, "Zhu Tongzhi, where is the emperor?"

When the others heard that it was Jin Yiwei who had come with an imperial decree, they retreated one after another to make way.

Zhu Ji came up close, got off his horse, and raised his voice, "Imperial decree!"

Cao Nai and Kuang Ye subconsciously knelt down and prostrated, shouting long live.

Others were overwhelmed, and some also knelt down.

Gula turned his eyes and said, "Wait a minute!"

Zhu Ji asked with a cold face, "Are you Gula?"

Gula was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Exactly!"

Zhu Ji said again: "Go forward and receive the order!"

Gula naturally refused, but he didn't dare to resist the order in public, so he suddenly thought about it and asked: "You say you are a Jinyiwei, what proof do you have?"

Zhu Ji suddenly laughed, and said: "A certain is the commander of Jinyiwei, who is in charge of the Nanzhen Prefecture. You have lived in Mobei for a long time, so it doesn't matter if you don't know him. Master Cao and Master Kuang can testify!"

Cao Nai and Kuang Ye raised their heads and looked at Gula with dissatisfaction: "What Zhu Tongzhi said is true, and the two of us can testify."

Gula rolled his eyes, and said again: "Everyone knows that the emperor has been missing for half a month, so this edict cannot be fake, right?"

Cao Nai suddenly realized and asked, "Exactly, Zhu Tongzhi, where did you get the imperial edict?"

Zhu Ji sneered, "Who told you that the emperor is missing?"

Gula was stunned: "You...what did you say?"

At this time, Kuang Ye couldn't bear it anymore, got up from the ground, grabbed Zhu Ji's arm, and asked, "Where is the emperor?"

Zhu Ji didn't answer, and said again: "Imperial decree!"

Kuang Ye was impatient, so he had to forcefully hold back, and bowed down.

Seeing this, Gula's face turned blue and white, and his teeth were almost gnawed.

The Chief Assistant of the Cabinet and the Minister of Rites have already knelt down to meet the order. If they persist, it will appear that they are deliberately making things difficult.

Now that things are up to now, let's take a look at what is written in this imperial decree.

Thinking of this, he knelt down on one knee and said in his mouth: "Chen Mo Beiwei Commander Tong Zhi Gula, welcome the imperial decree!"

Zhu Ji glanced at the five thousand soldiers and horses behind him again, and all of them knelt down in unison, shouting long live.

Qi Qike also bowed down generously, and said in his mouth: "Chen Mo Beiwei Commander Qi Qike, welcome the imperial edict!"

Only then did Zhu Ji open the imperial decree and read: "Today there are foreign enemies fleeing into our Daming territory. As the king of a country, I should lead my troops to fight against the bandits. I heard that there was a sudden change in Mobeiwei. The reason is not very clear, so I sent Qiqi Ke's case is adjourned, please!"

After the holy decree was read, everyone turned pale with shock.

The first is Cao Nai and Kuang Ye, they don't understand, what is the emperor trying to trick?
If he is not missing, why is his whereabouts unknown?
What's more, even Mobeiwei knew all about the accident, and asked to adjourn the review, what's the point?

Gula also didn't understand that there were many flaws in the frame-up of Qiqike, so he had to cut the mess quickly and cut him down with a knife. No matter how many problems there were, no one would pay attention to them.

However, the emperor asked for her to be postponed. If the emperor knew the truth of the matter, why didn't he let her go, but postponed her?

If the emperor didn't know the truth, why did he suddenly appear at this juncture to stop him from killing?
Qi Qike was also in a daze, the emperor seemed to be hiding on purpose, and had been monitoring Mo Beiwei's every move these days.

The problem is... I was loyal, but I was tricked by Gula.

Since the emperor was observing in secret, why didn't he just chop Gula up, instead of adjourning himself for trial. There are too many problems with this edict, which is really puzzling.

Gula suddenly raised his head and said, "Zhu Tongzhi, how do I know whether the imperial decree in your hand is true or not?"

Zhu Ji handed over the imperial decree and said coldly, "Look for yourself!"

Gula gritted his teeth, bent over, raised his hands, and took the imperial decree.

After slowly unfolding, judging from the material, it is indeed the brocade decree used by the imperial court.

The handwriting on it is clear, and the big seal of the emperor's treasure is stamped at the end, which is indeed true.

However, he was still worried, and he came to Cao Nai and Kuang Ye with the imperial decree, and said, "Master Cao, Mr. Kuang, you two have a look."

After Cao Nai looked at it, he nodded and said, "No problem, it's true, but..."

Seeing his hesitation, Gula showed joy on his face and asked, "But how?"

Kuang Ye explained from the side: "This is the central purpose, without going through the cabinet."

Gu La is a fourth-rank commander and acquaintance, so he naturally knows what Zhongzhi means.

It stands to reason that Zhongzhi's legal benefits are very poor, and it can be sealed back.

The corner of his mouth raised slightly, and he said to Zhu Ji: "Zhu Tongzhi, did you hear that?"

Zhu Ji smiled disapprovingly, and asked, "So what about Zhongzhi, don't you dare not take it?"

As soon as these words came out, Gula immediately felt chills on the back of his neck.

That's right, what about Zhongzhi?

It's just that one procedure is missing. Although the legal benefits are a bit worse, it is the emperor's will after all!

At this juncture, if he blatantly disobeyed the emperor's will, then everything he had carefully planned would be ruined.

"Come on!"

The two guards stepped forward with knives, their faces extremely grim.

Regarding Gula's true intentions, only a few confidantes know about it. Since they choose to follow Gula, they will naturally not back down.

In order to make things happen, even if Gula asked them to kill the five Jinyiwei and those high court officials on the spot, they would not hesitate.

However, Gula didn't do that.

After all, there are only a very small number of his confidants, the huge Mobeiwei, more than 5000 people, most of them don't even know that they are about to become rebels.

If Gula showed his true colors at this time, he might not be able to attract people at all.

"Since the emperor has a decree, Xiqike will be detained and await trial."

"Yes!"

Two personal guards walked over, escorted Xiqike and left.

Qi Qike struggled and shouted: "Zhu Tongzhi, I have something to tell you!"

Zhu Ji didn't move, and Gula didn't move with a gloomy face.

The two guards pushed Xiqike vigorously, and cursed: "What nonsense, go!"

Qi Qike couldn't survive the two of them, and was escorted out of the camp. She looked back at Zhu Ji, but found that he looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about her own life or death.

At this time, she was also confused, what happened?

Does the emperor know the truth?
Send Jin Yiwei to pass the decree, but don't know the situation, what is this doing?

Gula watched his subordinates take Xiqike down with his own eyes, and asked, "Tongzhi Zhu, what else can I order?"

Zhu Ji clasped his fists together: "Someone is here to deliver the decree, now the task has been completed, let me leave!"

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Kuang Ye stood up, but he staggered a little. He didn't care about the numbness of his old legs, so he hurried forward two steps and asked, "Where is the emperor?"

Zhu Ji replied: "Kuang Shangshu, the emperor has made it very clear just now, go and attack the thieves!"

Kuang Ye turned pale with shock, and asked, "Will the emperor personally intercept Tuotuo?"

Zhu Ji nodded: "Exactly!"

"How many people did you bring?"

"Three thousand camps!"

"Three Thousand Battalions... When did they come?"

Kuang Ye was even more confused, so he didn't hear the news of the troop transfer.

The Beijing camp is not allowed to be dispatched casually, especially the elite of the [-] battalion. If there is a combat operation, everyone will know it, and everyone in the city will know it. How can there be no movement at all?

Zhu Ji didn't hide anything, and said truthfully: "The [-] Battalion set off earlier than the emperor. They broke up into pieces and entered Mobei in batches pretending to be traders and tourists."

Only then did Kuang Ye feel relieved: "That's good, that's good!"

However, the more Gula on the side listened, the more terrified he became.

The Three Thousand Battalion is here!

Don't look at the [-] Battalion has always maintained a [-]-strong establishment and never expanded it, but whether it is tactics, weapons or equipment, they are all the most advanced in Ming Dynasty.

It is said that the rifle they hold is semi-automatic.

Tuotuo doesn't spend those 2000 people, plus his own 5000 people, it's not enough for others to fight!
