The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 471
An unpleasant smell began to pervade the entire city wall, Changsun Ji frowned, the cruelty of war is always beyond people's imagination.

The offensives of the rebels were repulsed again and again, and the rebels started a new round of offensives again and again.

Changsun Ji was observing the battle situation on the whole battlefield, when he suddenly saw Cheng Ping coming up from below, walked up to him carefully, and after bowing his hands in salute, he whispered a few words into his ear.

Changsun Ji's eyebrows, which had been frowning all the time, were directly frowned. The city gate was breached by the rebels earlier than he expected.

It was not breached from the south gate, but from the east gate, and now the rebels have rushed into the city.

Sighing, Changsun Ji glanced at the messenger who had been standing behind him all the time, and then ordered: "Let everyone throw all the hot oil and dry firewood that they prepared before into the city, and then set them on fire. "

"No." With the departure of the messenger, all the hot oil and dry firewood that had been stored were thrown away.

After a blaze was thrown down, another raging fire broke out under the city.Because the rebels had suffered in this area before, they were already prepared in their hearts.When he saw the pile of dry firewood thrown down from the top of the city wall, he already knew that Changsun Ji was going to set fire to it.

Therefore, the evasion was done early. Although many rebels were burned to death in this fire, the effect was not as obvious as the first time.

In this regard, Changsun Ji was not disappointed.Taking advantage of this opportunity, he took the soldiers who were still alive and withdrew directly to the palace in the city.

Not daring to delay along the way, the eldest grandson Ji, who was afraid of being made dumplings by the rebels, hurried and finally arrived at the palace.

Martial law has been enforced in the imperial palace, and the palace gates that have been open all year round have been completely closed at this time. There are many soldiers holding weapons in their hands on the city wall, and they are staring at Changsun Ji and his party with their heads exposed.

Changsun Ji rode on the horse, grabbed the reins, and shouted to the soldiers on the palace wall: "I am Changsun Ji, quickly open the palace gate and let me in. I want to see Your Highness."

A person on the city wall stretched out his head, cupped his hands at Changsun Ji, and said, "I have seen General Changsun, and His Highness ordered that no one can enter the palace. Please forgive me, General Changsun."

Changsun Ji's face immediately turned cold. After all, no matter who he is, no matter how good-tempered he is, he will explode in such a situation.

The soldiers following him had already started to yell. After all, just now, they were throwing their heads and spilling blood to protect the capital, but now they were stabbed in the back by loyal people. They couldn't tolerate their anger.

Changsun Ji took a hard look at the guard, and didn't say much, the rebels were uncertain when they would arrive, and he simply didn't have time to delay here.In other words, let him tell the prince, and he is estimated to be surrounded by rebels before he comes back.At that time, he said that it would no longer be two or three anti-kings, but a dozen or more.

Sun Ji didn't dare to take this risk.He turned his horse's head, glanced at the soldiers behind him, and shouted: "Go, let's leave."

Along the way, Changsun Ji and the soldiers had just left the street when he heard movement behind him. Changsun Ji turned his head and saw that the general who had stopped him outside the palace was chasing after them anxiously.

Changsun Ji reined in his horse, looked at this man, and said coldly: "What does this general want to do? Since I was not allowed to enter the palace, why did he stop us now?"

The man gave a wry smile, cupped his hands at Changsun Ji and said, "General, please follow me to attack. Your Highness wants to see the general. It was the last general who misled the crown prince's order just now. Please forgive me, general."

"Hmph, you didn't let me in just now, and now you let me in again, what did you think of me, Changsun Ji? I would rather die in battle now than be insulted by you like this." Changsun Ji said coldly.

"Your Highness said, if I can't invite the general and my colleagues into the palace, I don't have to go back. General, this traitor is coming. Both His Highness and Dayan need the general. The general must not be impulsive, because with If the villain is angry, then..."

"I'm angry with you? You deserve it too. Don't think too highly of yourself." Changsun Ji snorted coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes. The villain is not worthy, so the general will treat him as a fart." The man pleaded.

The capital has become chaotic, panicked Baixin is everywhere, and some local hooligans are taking the opportunity to break into other people's homes and rob them of property.

Changsun Ji frowned, he looked at the soldiers behind him, and saw that they were all looking at him one by one, Changsun Ji knew that what he would say next would determine their life and death.

In fact, to him, it doesn't matter whether he enters the palace or leaves the city, he cannot die.But his others are not necessarily, especially if they are soldiers, they will basically die.

Seeing them looking into his eyes one by one, Changsun Ji wanted to sigh, but he finally sighed and held back.

It's not that he doesn't have spies in the capital. He has long understood what the prince means. Except for the guard of the east gate who died at the gate of the four city gates, the other two guards have already retreated into the palace.

Why was he the only one who was blocked at the city gate? Although this person said that he would have misunderstood the prince's order, but without the prince's instructions, even if he gave this person a hundred courage, he would not dare to stop him.

As for why the crown prince blocked him at the palace gate to prevent him from entering, and now sent someone to chase him, it was not that the crown prince wanted to kill him, but that he wanted to disgust him.

He sent his family members away in private. Changsun Ji believed that the crown prince would know about this matter. Now that he was needed, there was no way to talk about him, so he had to use this method to disgust him.

Before at the gate of the palace, he left so decisively.In addition to the previous reasons, there is another reason that he understands that no matter what, the prince will not let him die, because the matter of the two princes has not been dealt with yet.

Glancing at the man, Changsun Ji said coldly: "Lead the way ahead."

"Okay, I'll lead the way for the general." Seeing that Chang Sun Ji agreed, the man heaved a sigh of relief, bowed and saluted Chang Sun Ji, and then led the way on his horse.

Changsun Ji led a group of people to rush towards the palace, but did not encounter any other accidents along the way. After entering the palace, Changsun Ji was immediately summoned by the prince.

As for the soldiers, they were all left behind the palace gate, guarding the palace together with the guards in the palace.

The crown prince was still summoned by the eldest grandson Ji in that study. When the eldest grandson entered, besides the crown prince, there were two other people inside. This made the eldest grandson Ji also know him. The ability to fight is not weaker than Changsun Ji, who was guarding the south gate before.Even Changsun Ji had to admit that if he guarded the south city gate, he might not be able to do a better job than him.
