I Am Immortal In The Cultivation World

Chapter 8 Watching the fire from the other side

Watchtower.

Standing in the northeast corner, it is three stories high, from which you can overlook the sky prison.

According to the rules formulated by the imperial court, the watchtower is guarded by jailers day and night to prevent martial arts masters from touching or escaping.

Now that the armaments are loose, most of the jailers have become empty-paid, so naturally no one goes to the watchtower.

Zhou Yi opened the iron gate of the watchtower, followed the narrow stairs all the way to the top of the tower, and unexpectedly there was a figure standing on it.

"Master Lei, why are you here?"

"Watch a play!"

Lei Siyu nodded slightly and looked in the direction of the palace.

The lights of the torches are connected into a line, which is extremely conspicuous in the dark night, and there are faint shouts of killing echoing in the night sky.

Zhou Yi pretended to be shocked: "Someone is leading troops to attack the palace. Is this a rebellion?"

"In front of this official, don't hide your clumsiness."

Lei Siyu said bluntly: "That's Long Xiang leading troops to attack the west gate of the imperial palace, and the leading generals are the commander of Wucheng soldiers and Masi, as well as the three major gangs in Beijing and the top ten martial arts halls."

Wucheng Bingma Division is responsible for guarding the inner city of Shenjing and patrolling the city of 108 squares.

The three major gangs of Shenjing Qinglang, Feiying, and Jinsha respectively control brothels, gambling stalls, carriages and horses, with tens of thousands of thugs under their command.

The top ten martial arts halls seem to have the fewest number of people, but they are all martial arts masters, and they are most suitable for taking the lead in attacking difficulties.

"..."

Zhou Yi murmured: "This adds up to at least 30,000 to 50,000 people, and the palace guards are only 3,000 to 4,000. Is it going to change today?"

Long has served as chief assistant for 30 years, and almost all the officials in the court are his people, and many cronies have been placed in the army, and the local state capitals are full of "Dragon Party" officials.

Breaking through the imperial palace tonight and gaining control of the capital and its surroundings can do what the Sima family did.

It is safe to choose a young master to ascend the throne, and the dragon will continue to control the government.

Those who are more radical and directly proclaim the emperor and change the yuan, and officials of the Dragon Party can also maintain a stable transition of the country.

"Long Xiang is likely to be tricked by His Majesty!"

Lei Siyu shook his head and said: "At the gathering a few days ago, Xiang Long said that His Majesty is in good health and can live for at least three or four years..."

"Could it be that His Majesty faked his death?"

Zhou Yi raised his brows, the dog emperor didn't care about his reputation for a long time, and he might give up his skin and feign death to catch the dragon.

"Your Majesty has not been in court for thirty-six years, and the power of the Dragon Prime Minister is all over the court, and the power is spread all over the palace and inside and outside the palace. How can you not be sure about the news?"

Lei Siyu pointed to the direction of the south gate of the imperial palace: "The deputy commander of Jin Yiwei tried to break through the south gate with both inside and outside, but fell into a trap and was fighting with his colleagues."

Jin Yiwei is the emperor's pro-army, and the deputy commander actually conspired against Long Xiang!

Zhou Yi felt a little bit happy in his heart. The dog emperor betrayed his relatives, and the feeling must be uncomfortable.

Lei Siyu said: "Long Xiang confirmed that His Majesty was really dead in the morning, and left an edict to pass on the throne to His Highness King Qin, and hastily summoned his troops to attack the palace."

After the failure of the former prince's rebellion, Emperor Chongming has not established a heir, and King Qin is the third son.

Zhou Yi tutted his tongue and said, "You don't want to grow up, you don't want to grow up young, so your majesty has already expected today?"

Lei Siyu sighed in admiration: "In this day's prison, you are the only one who is smart."

"Lord Lei praised me a lot. I like to go to Goulan on weekdays. I heard Mr. Shu lectures on history."

The storyteller mentioned by Zhou Yi is called Niaoyou girl, and she is the most popular oiran in Chunfenglou in recent days.

"When I was young, I also hung around Goulan. My mother scolded me every day for insulting my ancestors, and I lost the face of the Lei family. Later, I realized that a big man should make a contribution, so I joined Long Xiang's command, and in just over ten years, I have been in charge of the prison."

Lei Siyu murmured: "If you can be a young master who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and be a captain in the prison, maybe... you can avoid the crime of ransacking your home!"

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Zhou Yi took a few steps back indistinctly, pressing his palm on the cloth bag around his waist.

The cloth bag is filled with lime powder, which is mixed with a poison taught by a certain death row prisoner. If the top masters in the rivers and lakes smell it, they will lose most of their strength.

"You kid is too cunning, I have a heart-to-heart relationship with you, but you are always on guard!"

Lei Siyu said: "With such a cautious temperament, it's no wonder why he refuses to be promoted after ten years of food."

"We are stupid by nature, and we don't understand the schemes of big shots, so it's better to be a jailer with peace of mind."

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "When we get old, we will pass the jailer to our son, and the son will pass it on to our grandson. Our children and grandchildren will have iron rice bowls. No matter who is in charge in the palace, they will not be hungry!"

"This is a really smart person!"

Lei Siyu said slowly: "In the morning, it was not the messenger from the palace, but the steward of the Dragon Prime Minister, who ordered me to falsely deliver the decree and lead the Imperial Guards from the Heavenly Prison to attack the imperial city. At the same time, he opened the prison door and released all the prisoners, causing chaos in the capital. !"

"My lord, why..."

Zhou Yi showed doubts, why Lei Si prison disobeyed the order of Long Xiang.

On the surface, it seems that the general trend of the dragon has been established, and the change of the dynasty is just around the corner.

What's more, Lei Si Prison relies on the power of the dragon to take over the position, and has taken care of the offenders of the Long clan in recent years.

Once the dragon phase is defeated, the new emperor will clean up the court in the future, and he will definitely not let Lei Si prison go.

Lei Si Prison looked in the direction of the capital, the light of the torch once reached the city wall, and then quickly fell down, obviously the battle was fierce.

"I have a premonition that Long Xiang will lose to His Majesty, so I will be disobedient in the battle, and if there is no trouble in the prison, I will be reduced from beheading my whole family to exile!"

Zhou Yi said: "Master Lei mobilized the imperial guards in the prison to attack Long Xiang from behind, maybe he can do a great job?"

"What if the old man's premonition is wrong? Long Xiang has been in business for 30 years, so it may not be as good as His Majesty's layout!"

Lei Siyu sighed: "When I was young, I would definitely fight. Now that I am old, even if I make great contributions, I can't enjoy it."

Zhou Yi secretly cursed that it was indeed an old fox, as long as Lei Si prison held the sky prison, no matter who wins, he would be able to retreat unscathed.

Waiting to continue talking.

suddenly.

There was the sound of rumbling horseshoes in the distance.

The ground in Shenjing trembled, and countless black armored cavalry emerged from various squares, gathered together in an orderly manner, and rushed towards the rebels who were attacking the palace.

"kill!"

There was a long howl like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, covering even the sound of horseshoes.

Lei Siyu was surprised and said: "When did a martial arts master appear in the army? Your majesty has hidden deep enough, and the dragon will be defeated!"

"Martial arts master!"

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up, and he followed the sound.

It's a pity that it's too far away from the imperial palace, and it seems that there is a silver armor general leading the way to break through the army formation.

The torches attacking the palace stopped. There were palace guards shooting arrows in front, and martial arts masters led troops to charge in the rear. It can be said that they were attacked by the enemy.

The cavalry charged back and forth a few times, and the rebels who were forcibly kneaded by the three forces were cut into several parts to fight on their own.

General Yinjia screamed again: "Longtu has been executed, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

The rebel army had no leader, and immediately scattered and collapsed.

On the watchtower.

When Zhou Yi heard this, he immediately smiled.

"Tomorrow, there are guests in the prison, and those who have wronged will be revenged, and those who have revenge will be revenged!"
