Chapter 698: The Contest of Life and Death Twelve

Hu Zengsi had already arranged the matter of breaking through. With the shouts of killing from the gate of the mansion, hundreds of people rushed out of the gate and shouted wildly, creating the illusion of breaking through the opponent.

The other party was indeed trapped and mobilized all the soldiers besieged to the beginning of the gate to block what they thought Li Xun broke through.

After the action on the other side of the gate was launched for a quarter of an hour, the soldiers around were attracted to the direction of the gate. Li Xun immediately started the action and climbed out of the northeast direction.

There was a fight at the corner ahead, and the shouts of killing Zhentian, but there was silence here, giving people a strange space.

"Master, where are we going?"

Hu Zengsi asked out loud.

Li Xun had already thought about it. King Zhao Ke of Hengshan led 30,000 imperial guards to the imperial city. Now it is the most dangerous place. If he has no soldiers in his hands, it is useless to go. At present, the most important thing is to protect himself first. Fengjing City is now controlled by the imperial guards, so he will definitely not be able to leave the city. The imperial guards cannot go to the city, and the city cannot go out, so he can only choose a safe place in the city. Where is this place? Li Xun immediately thought of the Inspection Institute, which is the starting place of his official career. Many people are their old subordinates. And by now, the Inspection Institute has expanded to a scale of more than 5,000 people. Such power is enough to protect himself.

At this time, a group of more than 30 imperial soldiers came across the street. When they saw Li Xun, they were stunned. Then someone recognized Li Xun and shouted loudly: "This is Li Xun, the prince's cousin. If he kills him, he will get the Marquis of Qianhu."

"Go to the inspector's office and let's go."

The Inspection Institute and Li Xun's residence are far apart, and it takes at least half an hour to go all the way. Now there are rebels everywhere in the city. This is a huge test, but there is no way. Li Xun could not imagine that there is any place to temporarily protect his safety besides the Inspection Institute. Now he can only make a desperate bet, and he has to advance but not retreat.

After Li Xun's words fell, Jiang Daxiong immediately took steps, held weapons in both hands, and rushed towards the dozens of imperial guards in front of him.

Twenty or thirty imperial soldiers were not worth mentioning. In just a moment, they were killed and repelled. Li Xun and others did not fight and ran forward.

Passing by streets and fang District, there were figures of imperial soldiers everywhere. They wandered around. Some imperial soldiers immediately went forward to investigate and fight when they saw Li Xun and others. However, there were also many imperial soldiers who seemed very confused about what was happening at the moment. They ignored Li Xun and others, but rushed towards the temporary camp of the imperial army, trying to figure out what was going on.

Li Xun and others fought all the way, and finally rushed out of the west area of ​​the city and entered the city. Although the city was not a gathering place for top families, most of the imperial officials, smaller families, and many government offices, were all gathered in the city area, and were the core of power in Fengjing second only to the imperial city.

General Hu Zhibing of the Right Guard led 10,000 imperial soldiers, divided 3,000 soldiers to the other three urban areas, gathered and contacted the imperial soldiers scattered in various places, and surrounded and killed some major political enemies, including Li Xun, while Hu Zhibing himself led 7,000 soldiers to the city.

Zhao Ke gave Hu Zhibing the order to control and monitor officials in the city and some powerful ministers. At critical moments, they can act cheaply and make decisions on their own. This means that if someone disobeys, you can suppress them with force.

After Hu Zhibing led his troops into the city, he immediately sent soldiers to inform him that all officials and the people would stay at home and be strictly prohibited from going out. Those who do not obey orders will be killed without mercy.

Hu Zhibing's orders were very strict, but there were also people who were not afraid of death. Some upright and forcibly walked out of the house despite the obstruction and intimidation of the soldiers.

Li Zhong's mansion was also in the city. At this time, the guards outside were tightly guarded by thousands of soldiers. Hu Zhibing set up the temporary command post here.

Forty or fifty officials rushed out of the house, and finally, led by Zhai Hongliang gathered together. Regardless of the obstacles, they forcibly rushed outside Li Zhong's mansion and made a noise. While questioning what the imperial guards were doing, they were clamoring to see Li Zhong.

"General, these people are really ungrateful. I think they'd better kill one or two of them. Let's see who dares to make trouble."

The deputy general looked at the noisy officials and said with an angry face.

Hu Zhibing looked at him coldly: "Many of these people are officials of the Censorate. If you kill anyone, you will have a life-and-death hatred with the Censorate. After His Highness Wing ascended the throne, can you still revoke the Censorate? The Censorate will still exist. At that time, a group of Censors point at your nose and spit out saliva all day long. What good end can you have?"

Hu Zhibing reminded the deputy general that it was not that he had a good relationship with him, but that he did not want to implicate himself because of him.

Hu Zhibing is 40 years old this year. Although he is from a military general, he is from a great family. However, his mother's status is too low. Because of his concubine, he had no choice but to enter the army and gain fame. Through twenty years of hard work, he gradually became a senior official of the fourth-rank Right Guard General.

Although Hu Zhibing was born in a illegitimate family and had a low status in the family, he was born in aristocratic families, so he received a good education since childhood. Such people are not pure martial artists, knowledgeable, and have a certain political mind. The Jin Dynasty has been going on for more than five hundred years, and several coups have occurred during this period. As long as the people involved started a big killing, they did not end up in the end. Taking history as a guide, although Zhao Ke's orders, Hu Zhibing obviously has his own plans and will definitely not do things that offend people.

The deputy general laughed and said, "General, your words are too serious. What's the point of killing a few small officials?"

Hu Zhibing looked at the deputy general coldly and said coldly: "I am the one who decides here. My words are military orders. If you don't obey, even if you are An Guoqing's confidant, I will never give up easily."

The deputy general's body shook slightly and his face looked ugly, but Hu Zhibing was indeed the one here. If he violated the order and killed him, An Guoqing would have no choice afterwards.

The deputy general said guilt and retreated aside, not daring to speak.

Hu Zhibing glanced at the man coldly, his heart full of disdain.

In the central army of the imperial guards, Hu Zhibing was far superior to An Guoqing, both in terms of prestige and reputation. His military position as a scattered officer, was a third-rank general, and was higher than An Guoqing. In the central army, Hu Zhibing held the military power of 30,000 soldiers, while An Guoqing only had 10,000. Based on all aspects, Hu Zhibing was much stronger than An Guoqing.

In fact, this attack on the Imperial City was originally a task that Hu Zhibing had to do, but Hu Zhibing refused and refused, and even took the initiative to hand over the 30,000 military power in his hands. Seeing that Hu Zhibing was firm, Zhao Ke did not force Hu Zhibing and An Guoqing to exchange troops.

Hu Zhibing is much smarter than An Guoqing. He knows deeply that the change of imperial power and the palace coup are the most ominous and most dangerous things in the world. No matter whether it is successful or failed, there are few people who can end up with a good end. An Guoqing was blinded by the interests and was desperate, but Hu Zhibing did not, and he was still calm.
