Chapter 624 A fight between life and death(1/2)
Although Gao Ying drank a lot today, he was already at the ninth level of cultivation, and it would be easy to force the alcohol out of his body once he exercised his skills.
He had just realized that something had happened in the palace and wanted to force out the alcohol. However, as soon as he did some exercise, he immediately realized that something was wrong inside his body. He was still dizzy, and even his inner breath was intermittent. He didn't know what had happened.
Gao Ying suddenly looked at Pei You, disappointed and angry: "I treat you as a brother, but you actually plotted against me!"
What the other party said this time was that the Pei family intended to marry him and asked him to come and see the young ladies of the Pei family who were waiting for marriage. Now that I think about it, it was all a conspiracy.
Pei You's face changed drastically: "It's not me, I don't have it!"
Then he quickly stood up and looked in the direction of his father.
Many people in the entire banquet were also a little confused by what was happening in front of them. They were enjoying themselves just a second ago, but why did they suddenly fall out?
At this time, Pei Yi had already stood up from his position. After clapping his hands, a large group of guards suddenly appeared in the nearby yard and surrounded Gao Ying.
The guards accompanying Gao Ying drew their sabers and guarded him around him.
During the banquet, other female family members screamed and left their seats and ran to the inner chamber.
"Dad, what is going on?" Pei You was shocked and angry at this time. The scene in front of him really exceeded his imagination.
Pei Yi sighed: "You should have guessed it, why bother asking more."
Pei You's face was gloomy: "You used me to trick him?"
Gao Ying sneered from the side: "Play, keep playing!"
As he spoke, he quickly took a porcelain bottle, poured a few pills into his mouth, and distributed them to his men.
After all, he is now the right-guard general, and the Liu family is at its peak. They have equipped him with many miraculous medicines, and naturally there are also antidotes.
Sure enough, after taking these detoxification pills, he immediately felt much better.
Seeing his actions, Pei Yi's expression changed: "Get it for me!"
The men shouted and attacked Gao Ying one after another.
"General Gao, leave quickly!" the guards around Gao Ying shouted hurriedly.
Every family has its own dead men. Now it is clear that this is a trap. It is impossible for everyone to leave. As long as they can protect Gao Ying from leaving, they have completed their mission, and the family members will naturally receive good treatment from the Liu family.
The people on both sides met each other, and blood was seen almost instantly. In this life-and-death situation, everyone abandoned those clever tricks and all used killing techniques.
The personal guards who followed Gao Ying were naturally carefully selected elites, and each of them had a higher level of cultivation than the men of the Pei family. However, the huge disparity in numbers between the two sides meant that it was destined to be a defeat.
Gao Ying's eyes were red. He gritted his teeth, killed the two Pei family soldiers around him, and rushed out.
His thoughts turned sharply. The other party was determined not to attack him alone. To trick him into coming here, they must have lured the tiger away from the mountain. Then, in connection with the fire at Yunlongmen, it was obvious that their main goal was the palace.
As long as he returns to the palace, he can mobilize and command the right guard troops and horses, and then he will have a chance to make a comeback.
People from the Pei family obviously knew this, and they were constantly surrounding him. His men were desperate to protect him and went out to kill him, even if they were injured or even died, just to buy a minute and a second.
Within a short distance of a few courtyards, the guards around Gao Ying fell one by one, and no one survived.
But the effect was also obvious. Gao Ying had already arrived at the wall of Pei's courtyard. Seeing that he was about to escape, a loud shout came: "Where to go!"
Pei Yi was seen blocking the wall and forcing him back.
Gao Ying gritted his teeth and was about to take action when Pei You suddenly stood between the two of them: "Brother Gao, leave quickly and leave this place to me!"
Gao Ying was startled, but Pei Yi was furious: "Are you crazy? Do you know that what happened today is a catastrophe that will destroy the family? Once he leaves, our entire family is likely to be wiped out!"
Pei You smiled sadly: "If you don't tell me anything, how can I know what you are planning? I only know that I cannot betray my friends in exchange for the glory of my family!"
After finishing speaking, he immediately shouted: "Gao Ying, why don't you leave quickly!"
Gao Ying gritted his teeth, cupped his hands at his back, climbed over the courtyard wall and ran outside.
The other soldiers wanted to pursue them, but were stopped by Pei You's sword light.
"Evil son!" Pei Yi was furious and could no longer hold back and rushed towards the opponent.
Gao Ying ran out of Pei's house, and soon more than ten soldiers outside gathered around him: "General Gao, what's wrong?"
Gao Ying has always been careful, and he left these people outside the Pei family. Unexpectedly, they retained some vitality.
"The Pei family has rebelled and something happened in the palace. You guys should go and inform the Liu family masters immediately. The rest of you will follow me back to the palace!" Gao Ying had made arrangements in a hurry, and soon a dozen people divided into several teams and ran in various directions.
.
Gao Ying took the remaining seven or eight riders and galloped all the way to Yunlong Gate. However, to his surprise, there was no fighting here. Instead, soldiers stood on the tower in an orderly manner and patrolled, while others poured water to kill some residual
fire.
"Who is coming?" The soldiers at the palace gate became alert when they noticed the visitor. When they saw Gao Ying, they breathed a sigh of relief, "It turns out to be General Gao."
"What happened here?" Gao Ying asked in confusion, why was it different from what he imagined.
"There were demon sect thieves who wanted to attack the palace at night just now. We discovered them and have now eliminated them." A general on the city tower replied.
"Demon Cult?" Gao Ying frowned. When did the Pei family get involved with the Demon Cult?
And even if there is really a conspiracy, it should not be launched. Once it is launched, it will be like a thunderous thunder. In the end, it was wiped out so easily. Isn't the Pei family looking for death?
He always felt that something was wrong. As he was walking towards the palace gate, he suddenly noticed that the soldiers on both sides looked a little unfamiliar.
He hurriedly reined in his horse and stopped: "By the way, why didn't you see General Li?"
Li Mian was also a nephew of the Liu family. The Liu family assigned him to guard important places like Yunlong Gate and to be in charge of some of the troops in the palace.
"General Li was seriously injured in the battle with the demon sect rebels. Now the imperial doctor is treating him. General Gao, please come in and see him." The general on the city wall waved.
Gao Ying's expression changed when he heard this, and he turned around and ran away: "Quickly!"
When the palace guards saw this, their expressions changed, and they all drew their weapons and attacked him.
It's a pity that these horses are all exotic beasts raised by the imperial court since they were young. They also have the special wind runes of the academy and are unusually fast. In addition, these guards just did not dare to show the slightest hostility for fear of being discovered. For a while,
Where can I catch up?
Gao Ying breathed a sigh of relief as he saw those pursuers being pushed further and further away.
He was wondering whether he should go directly back to Liu's house to find Liu Guang and Liu Yao or go out of the city to find Master Liu at the military camp outside the city, when suddenly a group of people ran towards him and blocked his way.
His face changed slightly, but he said calmly: "It turns out to be General Zhao. Something happened at Yunlong Gate. I asked General Zhao to bring people to support."
The middle-aged man leading the group in front of me is Dong Zhonglang General Zhao Quan. He is a very senior person in the royal family. He is even Zhao Hao's uncle.
Zhao Quan's father was one of the Eight Dukes, Zhao Chen, the Grand Master, and his son was Zhao Zai, the King of Hexi. He was in charge of the local government and cooperated with King Yan for a long time.
This family can be said to be one of the top wealthy families in the capital. Unfortunately, some changes occurred in the past few days because it involved the conflict between the Meng family, King Dai and Zu An. As a result, Zhao Chen was directly killed by Zu An, which caused some problems in their family.
Mid-fall.
Thinking of his relationship with Zu An, Gao Ying immediately felt that the other party was evil.
At this time, Zhao Quan said with a smile: "General Gao is not the general of the left guard of the imperial court. He is responsible for guarding the palace. Why did he flee instead of going?"
Gao Ying secretly gestured to his men and replied: "The thieves have a big plan today, and I have to go to other places to check the situation."
"It's a pity that you can't leave." At this time, the people from Yunlong Gate chased after him.
Gao Ying realized that the person in charge was Changshui Colonel Zhao Shun, and his heart sank.
Zhao Shun's father was King Yi, and Zhao Huang, the general of Zhendong, was a highly respected member of the royal family. If we add this to Zhao Quan on the opposite side, could it be that these royal families were in collective rebellion?
What's even more troublesome is that Changshui Colonel, commanded by Zhao Shun, is one of the six field armies near the capital. Now he leads troops into the city, but the Liu family knows nothing about it.
I don’t know how many troops from the six schools in the capital have rebelled.
At this time, Zhao Quan said coldly: "If I hadn't arrived in time, I would have almost let them run away."
Zhao Shun said angrily: "This boy looks honest, but in fact he is cunning and cunning. I didn't expect him to see his flaw."
"Looking like this, Li Mian should have been poisoned." Gao Ying sighed, stalling for time while thinking about a way to escape. Unfortunately, no matter what he thought, the current situation was a dead end.
"If Li Mian had been as vigilant as you, I wouldn't have been able to succeed so easily. The people of the Liu family are indeed nothing but losers." Zhao Shun said disdainfully.
"As a member of the royal family, you have reached the peak of wealth and wealth, yet you colluded to rebel. Why?" Gao Ying knew that he would definitely die this time. He took a deep breath, and now all he wanted was an understanding.
"Rebellion?" Zhao Quan laughed loudly on the opposite side, "You overestimate yourself. It is obviously you who rebelled. We will follow the emperor's order and wipe out all the Liu family's rebellion!"
Gao Ying's expression suddenly changed: "This is impossible, the queen will never give such an order!"
They and the queen had fought side by side in the secret realm, and Zu An and the queen had a close relationship, so it was even more impossible for the other party to agree to such an order.
"Don't you understand? We are obeying the emperor's orders, not the queen's orders." Zhao Quan sneered.
Gao Ying sighed: "It turns out that you deceived the emperor. When the queen reacts tomorrow, you will all be liquidated."
"Who is deceiving the emperor?" Zhao Shun behind him suddenly became angry, "What kind of thing is your Liu family? But relying on the relationship of the Queen Mother, the whole family occupies all high positions even though they have everything to eat and drink!"
"Liu Guang, Liu Yao, needless to say, those two idiots, even a young junior like you can easily become a right-back general. Do you know that this is a position that many people may not be able to occupy after struggling all their lives?
.That guy Liu Guang is eager to put every dog in your family into the imperial court. Does this world belong to our Zhao family or your Liu family?"
Gao Ying sneered: "It turns out you people are out of jealousy."
But he secretly sighed in his heart. In fact, he had expected this situation. He had tried to persuade his uncles several times, but unfortunately they didn't listen at all. They only knew how to place people from the Liu family in various key departments. Now the backlash finally came.
, and it was more violent than imagined.
"Are you jealous of these losers from the Liu family?" Zhao Shun's face was as dark as water, "I just want to drive you losers away and let the capable people live here."
