Chapter 7 In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, on the Dragon Throne

It's time to apply.

Ten thousand soldiers and horses led by Wu Fengxian, the vanguard general of the Yunhui Army, have arrived at the city.

Outside Dragon City, Yunhui's army was waiting in arms. Their horses did not take off their saddles, and their soldiers did not take off their armor. They were ready to attack Dragon City at any time.

On the city wall, the soldiers of the Polu army stationed in Dragon City were wearing helmets and armor and holding swords, guns and halberds. They were already very energetic and could immediately leave the city to meet the enemy as soon as Jin Wang Chen Huaian gave the order.

The two sides faced off across a tall city wall and a wide moat.

The suspension bridge on the city gate had already been hoisted high by the soldiers of the Polu Army guarding the city, blocking the only way for Yunhui's army to enter the city.

Seeing this scene, Sun Heling, the imperial envoy and minister who conveyed the order, looked worried. He looked at Longcheng, where the wind was roaring with cranes and the vegetation was full of soldiers, and he smiled helplessly and shook his head.

At this time, Chang Chenghu, the deputy general of Yunhui Army, rode his horse to Sun Heling and said in a somewhat provocative tone:

"Master Sun, what you said yesterday was the handover of the command talismans of the eight thousand Polu Army in Dragon City and the move of the Jin Prince's family to the north will be discussed after the Commander-in-Chief arrives."

"Now the Major General came to Dragon City with the arrows ordered by the Commander-in-Chief to hand over the military talismans and city defenses, but he was blocked outside the city and could not enter. Look up and take a closer look. What did Chen Huaian do?"

At this time, Wu Fengxian also rode a war horse to Sun Heling's side, looking down at this imperial envoy and a third-rank official.

While slapping the horse on his crotch and circling in front of Sun Heling, he pointed at the city wall with the whip in his hand and said in an arrogant tone:

"Master Sun, Chen Huaian disobeyed the imperial edict. Instead of surrendering his military power and marching to Beihai for sealing, he ordered the city gates to be closed and secretly hid soldiers, horses and armor in the city. According to the "Daxin Code", Chen Huaian's actions are the same crime. Those who conspire to rebel will be punished by the Nine Tribes!”

snort!

Wu Fengxian snorted coldly and continued: "Master Sun, now that the matter is over, you just tell me what to do?"

Facing Wu Fengxian's aggressive questioning, Sun Heling said nothing with a livid face.

Chang Chenghu on the side did not forget to add insult to injury and said:

"Master Sun, I kindly reminded you yesterday that as soon as this imperial edict arrives, Chen Huaian will have to hand over his military power, but you don't listen!"

"Okay now, Chen Huaian is planning to raise his troops to rebel. Let me see how you end it!"

Sun Heling still said nothing, but stared at Wu Fengxian and Chang Chenghu with cold eyes.

Suddenly, a shout came from the city wall:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order to send the imperial envoy Sun Heling and General Yunhui to the city to discuss the military power of Longcheng, the transfer of city defense, and the relocation of the royal family to the north!"

"This is a big event, and the hierarchy is in order. The rest of the people are not allowed to enter!"

As soon as he finished speaking on the city wall, the suspension bridge hanging high on the moat began to slowly lower.

With a "boom" sound, the thick solid wood suspension bridge hit the ground heavily, crossing both sides of the moat that was 13 feet wide and 18 feet deep.

Afterwards, the closed city gate was slowly pushed open from the inside.

Looking from a distance through the city gate, the people in the city are crowded and the life order is as usual.

Seeing this, Sun Heling looked up at Wu Fengxian, the vanguard general of the Yunhui Army who was riding on horseback. He made an invitation gesture to him and said: "Major General, please!"

As he said that, Sun Heling took out the holy grail that had been taken by Chen Huaian yesterday and then was forcefully taken back by him, waved it in front of Wu Fengxian, and continued:

"Major General, after entering the city, the ministers will read out the Holy Edict in public and personally preside over the handover of the Dragon City military talisman and the customs seal!"

"Major General, you must not put yourself in danger!"

Deputy General Chang Chenghu looked alert and immediately stood up to persuade him: "Major General, Chen Huaian is a cunning and insidious man. If Major General puts himself in danger, he may fall into Chen Huaian's treacherous plan!"

"According to the last general's words, lead troops directly into Dragon City. If Chen Huaian is not well-intentioned, he will be killed on the spot!"

After saying that, Chang Chenghu's eyes were fierce and he made a gesture of wiping his neck.

snort!

Upon hearing this, Sun Heling on the side immediately sneered and said: "General Chang, I'm afraid you have forgotten Article 33 of the "Daxin Code". Anyone who moves troops into the city without the order of the Ministry of War will be regarded as treason, and according to the law, Kill the nine tribes!”

"Sun Heling, you——"

Chang Chenghu was once again beaten speechless by Sun Heling. He was so angry that he could only stamp his feet on the horse.

What Sun Heling said was true. According to the "Daxin Regulations", deploying troops into the city without the approval of the Ministry of War was considered to be a conspiracy.

Once Sun Heling comes back to discuss this matter in front of the emperor, even if Chang Chenghu is a confidant of Northwest General Wu Qingyun, it will probably be enough for him to drink.

After all, they currently have no evidence that Chen Huaian and the Polu Army intend to rebel. If they rush into the city with a large army like this, they will definitely attract criticism and leave trouble.

But Chang Chenghu always felt that there was something fishy about this matter. Maybe it was the Hongmen Banquet set up by Chen Huaian. To capture the thief, capture the king first, and capture Major General Wu Feng first.

If something goes wrong with the Major General, he has nine heads and not enough to chop them off with Commander-in-Chief Wu Qingyun.

In desperation, Chang Chenghu could only continue to dissuade Wu Fengxian, saying:

"Major General, sharpening your sword will not waste time chopping firewood. Otherwise, we have to wait. When the Commander-in-Chief arrives tomorrow, we will enter the city to receive the military talisman and customs seal of Dragon City."

"enough!"

Wu Fengxian waved his hand impatiently and said: "General Chang, I have decided to go with Mr. Sun to the city to receive the military talismans and customs defenses."

"I still don't believe it, General. How dare he, Chen Huaian, be so rebellious against me?"

After a pause, Wu Fengxian continued: "Besides, isn't there General Chang sitting outside the city? If there is any disturbance in the city, you will lead the troops to attack the city immediately!"

"Major General——"

"Okay, it's decided!"

Chang Chenghu wanted to say something else, but was finally interrupted by Wu Fengxian, who was fearless and stubborn.

The latter then glanced at Sun Heling and shouted arrogantly: "Lord Sun, why are you still standing there? Lead the way to the city for this general!"

Hearing this, Sun Heling smiled and shook his head, and stepped forward without hesitation.

Wu Fengxian led more than a hundred soldiers of the Yuhou Army to follow closely behind, and the group walked onto the suspension bridge and headed straight for Longcheng.

Chang Chenghu was worried and immediately gave orders, saying: "Pass my order, the whole army is ready to fight and be ready to attack the city at any time!"

"Yes, General!"

As he spoke, Sun Heling, Wu Fengxian and his party had already entered Longcheng, and the drawbridge on the moat was pulled back by the defending army and hung in the air.

As the two heavy gates were closed again, the only passage between Yunhui Army and Longcheng was once again cut off.

Chang Chenghu watched the drawbridge being pulled up and the gates being closed. He didn't know when his palm holding the sword had been sweating profusely, and he was extremely nervous.

An ominous premonition came to his mind, making him upset and angry.

At the same time, inside Yongding Gate of Longcheng.

Sun Heling, Wu Fengxian and his party walked towards the Jin Palace in the city under the guidance of the guards.

Wu Fengxian, riding on horseback, was fearless, looking greedily at everything in the city, and dreaming of a life of drunkenness and revelry after taking over Longcheng.

The 100 soldiers of the Yuhou Army accompanying him were extremely nervous as if they were facing a great enemy. The soldier who followed Wu Fengxian always carried the arrow that summoned reinforcements, ready to shoot it into the sky at any time.

Soon, the group came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Jin Palace.

After entering the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Wu Fengxian was immediately attracted by the magnificent and magnificent scene in the huge Hall of Supreme Harmony.

However, the next second, Wu Fengxian and his soldiers were stunned by the golden nanmu chair with dragon carvings and golden lacquer placed on the steps of the main hall!

Wu Fengxian recognized at a glance that the shape and paint color of the golden nanmu chair in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Jin Palace were clearly the same as the dragon chair that the emperor sat on in the Jinluan Hall.

On the dragon throne, Chen Huaian, wearing golden armor, sat upright, smiling meaningfully at everyone.

In this situation, even a fool could see the clues.

This Chen Huaian is clearly planning to raise an army to rebel!

Wu Fengxian's face changed drastically, and he drew his sword and pointed it directly at the hall, saying with a ferocious expression: "Chen Huaian, you dare to build a dragon throne privately, you are trying to rebel!"

"Come here, shoot the cloud-piercing arrow to summon troops into the city to quell the rebellion!"
