"The messenger of General Zhenbei is back to the camp. Peace." The sentinel's shout came from a distance, much faster than the "courier" himself.
The tent was already in a mess.
Zhang Yanghao, Xie Ying, and Ding Hui each brought an entourage into the central army tent and pushed the East Sea King back. Zhang Yanghao said sharply, "Donghai King, if you want to seize the seal and rebel, pass me first!"
The King of the East Sea took a few steps back and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?" But he snorted, knowing that he had fallen into a trap. As Zhang Yanghao and others, he was not qualified to stay outside the central army tent, and was obviously put in by Chai Zhi. of.
The three entourage lifted the curtain, and Zhang Yanghao said loudly: "King of the East Sea, you heard that there is something going on in the court, so you have a bad heart, and you want to seize the seal of the Great Sima, and take the soldiers of the Northern Army back to Beijing to seize power, right or not?"
There were a large number of officers, guards and entourage standing outside the tent. When they heard the screams inside the tent, they were all taken aback. They looked at each other, but no one dared to make a sound, and no one dared to move.
Donghai King laughed in anger, "You guys are not too timid, and you don't even think about who you are. Even if I really want to do something, is it your turn to intervene? Get away from me!"
King Donghai has lived in the circle of honor and honor since he was a child. He has the identity of the grandson and prince, and has the Cui family as his backing. No one has ever dared to provoke him. Zhang Yanghao and others have always been afraid of him, and it has become instinctive. Shrink your head.
In the end, Zhang Yanghao was more courageous. He glanced at Chai Zhi in the tent, and drew his sword from his waist, "Donghai King, it's fine for you to be arrogant and domineering, but it is absurd to seize the seal and rebel..."
There was a sudden shout from outside the tent, and dozens of guards charged towards the central army tent with knives and guns.
Chai Zhi gave Zhang Yanghao a wink.
It's this look that's bad. Zhang Yanghao is a gambler. He has participated in Xungui's conspiracy several times, but he has never been successful. He has been beaten by his grandfather a lot, and his future is getting bleak. What lessons did these failures teach him? That is observation.
The Chai family has the support of the champion Hou, and should be able to win a big victory. He has no doubts about this, but Chai Zhi gave him an order with eyes rather than words, but it was an ominous sign: the winning Chai family seemed to need a surrogate.
Zhang Yanghao, who had already drawn the knife out of its sheath, did not do anything. Instead, he pretended to be extremely frightened, took a step back, and the arm holding the knife kept shaking.
Xie Ying and Ding Hui also abandoned the East Sea King in Hebian Village at the beginning. They have been apologizing, but they have never been forgiven. They have little experience. After being persuaded by Zhang Yanghao, they were determined to get rid of the East Sea King, but they did not see Chai Zhi at all. With a look in his eyes, he drew his sword and rushed over, intending to kill in front of the generals.
Donghai King raised his arm subconsciously, seeing that his entourage was still more than ten steps away from him, and it was definitely too late to save him.
With a bang, Xie Ying's knife was blocked, and the dazed East Sea King was dragged away by someone, so he could barely escape Ding Hui's knife.
At the critical moment, only Chai Yue and Meng E in the army tent came to help, Chai Yue opened Xie Ying's knife, and Meng E opened the East Sea King.
Xie Ying and Ding Hui were only rudimentary in martial arts. At the age of 16 or 17, they were not very strong, but they had the ruthlessness of a young man. They missed with a knife and rushed up with a knife, slashing like a madman.
Chai Yue was not good at swords, so he avoided it after two shots. The king of the East Sea was grabbed by Meng E's neck and staggered, but he never fell down. Can't even scream.
It happened so suddenly that the generals in the army tent did not respond whether they hoped that the King of the East Sea was alive or dead.
Zhang Yanghao stood at the door with a knife in his hand, embarrassed. If he didn't do anything, he would even lose the support of the Chai family, so he shouted and stepped forward to join the battle, but suddenly he was hit hard on the back of the head, his eyes were black, and he fell down.
The entourage of the King of the East Sea finally rushed in, but the dozen guards outside the tent failed to stop him. The entourage struck Zhang Yanghao with a shield, smashed the hilt of his right hand on Ding Hui's back, strode forward, and flew to Xie. Ying kicked down and came to her master, staring fiercely at Meng E, like a lion fighting for prey.
Meng E let go of the East Sea King and moved to Chai Yue's side. This was her real protection goal.
Outside the tent, dozens of other guards brought by the East Sea King were stopped and entangled with a group of soldiers from the Northern Army. Neither side did their best, because no one knew how the situation would develop next.
Donghai Wang stood behind his entourage, clutching his belt tightly, and finally felt a little at ease, but Chai Zhi, who was not far away, reacted faster than him and ordered loudly: "Donghai Wang and others are plotting bad things, warriors in front of the tent, quickly arrest people. !"
As a military officer, Chai Zhi was in charge of the laws of the army. His orders were immediately executed, and a large number of soldiers came to surround the dozens of soldiers from the army camp brought by the King of the East Sea. Hesitating, this is not something Chai Zhi can decide. The commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, who needs to hold the seal, personally ordered it. Only a gambler like Zhang Yanghao would dare to break into the account by virtue of his identity as a son of honor.
Liu Kunsheng leaned back, his arms spread out, and his right foot was on the desk. It had been a long time since he had been in this terrified posture, and he had not moved.
The King of Donghai found that he had greatly underestimated Chai Zhi. In a hurry, he could only make a move. He still grabbed the belt of the follower with one hand, took out a note with the other hand, shook it a few times, and said loudly: "I also have a secret order, Zhen North General's secret order! Who else has received the order to draw the sword, stand up for me!"
There was a huddle outside the tent, and no one in the tent responded. The King of the East Sea was very embarrassed for a while, and then became angry. Could it be that Lin Kunshan was sure that Han Ruzi was just bluffing and tricking himself into working for him?
Chai Yue had rescued the King of the East Sea before, but she had never made a sound, and then she said loudly: "I also have a secret order from General Zhenbei, all generals, it is General Zhenbei who is instructing you to defend the Iron Broken City, and Chai Zhi only arrived yesterday, so I can't let him Seize power!"
"That's right, he is the one who seized power!" The East Sea King shouted hoarsely.
Long before the reinforcements arrived, Chai Yue had already persuaded some of the Northern Army generals in Broken Iron City to support him and General Zhenbei. These people waited for Chai Yue's words and immediately stood up. batch of soldiers.
Inside and outside the central army tents suddenly fell into greater chaos. Some people were fighting, some people were persuading them, and more people were overwhelmed, or retreating, or sticking to their posts. The sentinels who sent orders still regularly accepted the information ahead and shouted "Peace." "Two words, although the scene in his eyes is not at all peaceful.
The King of the East Sea saw that his forces had grown stronger, and he felt great peace in his heart. Han Ruzi finally did not lie to him, so he loosened the belt of his followers and pointed at Liu Kunsheng, who was at the innermost part of the central army tent, "Quickly tell who you support, or hand over the seal of the Great Sima! "
The two factions suddenly understood that both sides had hidden powers, and the results were evenly matched, but no matter how they were called, neutrals on the sidelines still occupied the majority, and these soldiers only listened to the orders of one person or one item. With the Great Sima Seal in his hand, he could either open his mouth to give an order or hand in the seal, and he could quickly end the chaos.
Liu Kunsheng refused to speak or hand in the seal. He had received a painted sword, but he was very cautious and did not want to express his position at this time. He suddenly threw himself on the desk and held on to the official seal.
His ambiguous attitude deepened the confusion and aroused the courage of everyone. Chai Zhi was the first to rush up and shouted angrily: "The champion waits for my palm print!" The Great Sima Seal belongs to me!"
The right general Feng Shili and the left general Han Tong were the closest to the commander of the Northern Army, but they were both a step late.
Chai Yue wanted to go up to help, but was stopped by Meng E. She had received an order to protect Chai Yue's safety with all her might and not let him be in danger.
Zhang Yanghao was still dizzy, Xie Ying and Ding Hui got up from the ground, shouted in unison, and rushed into the battle group. Their goal was not the official seal, but the King of the East Sea. Fortunately, they were still a bit awake, for fear of hurting others. , dropped the knife in his hand beforehand.
As soon as the two entered the battle, there were still several generals in the central army tent who were unwilling to stay out of the situation, unfastened their knives and stepped forward with bare hands.
More than a dozen people shouted and shouted, fighting like a street scoundrel.
The situation outside the tent was not much better. There were originally many bystanders, but the generals inside the tent were unruly, and the soldiers were also motivated to fight. They did not have a clear position. , whoever is not pleasing to the eye will be beaten...
Chai Yue was stunned. He didn't expect things to turn out like this. He thought that General Zhenbei had a clever plan and had already arranged things, and he just needed to cooperate.
At this point, Chai Yue had no other choice. Meng E did not let him participate in the capture of the seal, and he did not want to join the melee on the book case, so he stepped out of the central army tent and ordered the soldiers to stop, but there was no big Sima seal in his hand, only a few. People would listen to him and fight back immediately after being beaten.
"Peace!" The sentinel who delivered the news was the most devoted, shouting without a word, but the expression on his face was not "Peace" at all.
Chai Yue was powerless to stop the chaos, and turned to look at Lingnan. The central army tent was built at the highest point. The chaos here can be clearly seen from below. The soldiers have not changed for a while, but this kind of silence will not last long. The enemy is now , the main general will be in chaos first, which will have a fatal impact on the entire Chu army.
Chai Yue didn't know much about the guards that General Zhenbei arranged for her, but she believed that this person could help her, so she turned around and said, "You must capture the Great Sima Seal, or else..."
"I got it!" An excited voice sounded from the central army tent, and the King of the East Sea strode out, holding the official seal in his hand.
It wasn't him who made the real merit, but the entourage. Among the group of seal grabbers, he was the only one who had practiced advanced martial arts and gained the upper hand in close combat.
"Stop, everyone listens to my orders! The Great Sima Seal is in my hands!" The East Sea King shouted excitedly. After Han Ruzi won the seal twice, he finally did it once, and it was even more successful. Great Sima Seal.
The chaos outside the tent did stop for a while, and everyone glanced at the central army tent and saw that the seal holder was the King of the East Sea, and they started the war again.
The smile on Donghai King's face froze, he didn't understand where he went wrong, but he didn't seize power after taking the seal.
Junzheng Chai Zhi walked out staggeringly, passed by the East Sea King, thumped down, and was stabbed by someone in the back, gushing blood.
His death caused chaos.
