Chapter 3350 The Bone Snatcher
"Here!"
Yuan Nanshan and Changsun Chong respectfully accepted the order and then exited the study together.
Outside the study, heavy snow fell from the eaves, covering the entire courtyard with a white layer of snow. Eyes were flying everywhere, and the majestic ridge of the main hall, just a stone's throw away, seemed blank and unclear.
Just like Yeon Gaesumun’s intentions...
The two of them ignored each other and saw the doubts and worries in each other's eyes. However, this was not the place for detailed discussions. They quickly left the Da Moli Branch Mansion, led the soldiers back to the Seven Star Gate, and ordered their generals to go to the garrison of the city tower to submit a report. Combine the orders and exchange defense.
Heavy snow fell on the cloaks one after another. The two of them stood on horseback with solemn expressions on their faces. Neither of them had the intention to cause trouble with the royal guard who had made things difficult for their eldest grandson when he rushed into the city.
After a long time, Changsun Chong said in a deep voice: "You said... why did your father appoint me to defend the Seven Star Gate so suddenly?"
The key to all the plans between him and Mr. Yuan lies in the Seven Star Gate. If they cannot control the Seven Star Gate, they will naturally not be able to welcome the Tang army into the city, and they will naturally not be able to achieve the extravagant feats they hoped for.
However, the good opportunity that he had been longing for suddenly fell from the sky, which inevitably made him feel a little wrong - he was not a fool who never got up early. He knew that good things take a long time, and happiness often comes too suddenly, and it is accompanied by poison...
Mr. Yuan was also puzzled: "Perhaps... my father already knows about our plan, but also knows that this battle will be defeated, so he is willing to spare us and help us, and also leave a way for the Yuan family to survive?"
"Oh,"
Changsun Chong sneered: "Do you think your father is the kind of person who is so affectionate and willing to die but smiles and watches others live well?"
Boy Yuan was at a loss for words. The words didn't sound very nice, but he couldn't refute them.
In his impression, his father was a violent, cruel, and cold-blooded person. The emotions and desires of ordinary people rarely appeared in his father. He is like a wild beast, with only his own laws in his eyes. Once someone violates them, he will be punished with death.
My father was the kind of surly person who would drag everyone with him to be buried with him even if he was about to die...
Let him die under the siege of the Tang army, but he is happy to see his tribe surrender to the Tang people under the leadership of his son and continue to be prosperous and wealthy?
Absolutely impossible...
Mr. Yuan was still puzzled: "But if my father knew our plan, why did he still place us in the Seven Star Gate?"
Based on his understanding of his father, if he knew what the two men were planning, the only thing waiting for them would be to cut their bodies into pieces on five horses with steel knives on their necks. He would cut off their heads without hesitation and hang them on the Seven Star Gate, killing chickens to scare monkeys and others. Tell those who have different ambitions: Whoever dares to betray me will suffer this, even if he is his own son!
How could they still be allowed to successfully defend the Seven Star Gate?
Therefore, no matter what, father should not let them defend the Seven Star Gate...
On the top of the city tower, there was a noise.
Changsun Chong raised his eyebrows and glanced up. He dismounted with Mr. Yuan and led their respective soldiers up the stone steps to the city tower. Once inside the city tower, he saw the school captain sent to take over the defense standing there with a red face. , a clean slap mark on his face.
On the other side, the royal general looked arrogant and pointed at Changsun Chong and Yuan Boyan who walked in and cursed: "Those who rely on human power, this Goguryeo is still the King's Goguryeo. All city defense appointments come from the palace. You want to take over this place?" Pingrang City Gate, let’s wait until your great Molizhi ascends the throne!”
Mr. Yuan shouted angrily: "Fart! The king has entrusted all the important military and political affairs of the country to Da Mo Li Zhi. The orders issued by Da Mo Li Zhi's government represent the king's will. Do you think you want to disobey orders so blatantly?" Want to rebel? ”
There are many people in Pingrang City who want their father and son to have their heads separated, but this is the first time that they dare to openly disobey the orders of the Great Moli Branch Mansion.
This made him furious.
Changsun Chong was not that angry. He just looked at the royal general and felt a little puzzled: It was just the defense of a city gate. It had not been a year or two since the royal family pretended to be a grandson to protect themselves under the despotic power of Yeon Gaesumun. Okay, why do you want to refute Yeon Gaesumun’s order forcefully at this time?
Did the royal family think that Yeon Gaesomun was at the end of his rope and could no longer control the sky in Goguryeo like before?
Or is the Seven Star Gate of extremely important significance to the royal family...
The royal general snorted coldly, glared at Mr. Yuan, and said: "I am a general of Goguryeo, and I only obey the king's orders. If you want to change your defense, you can get the king's order, otherwise I will not be allowed to leave here today!"< br>
The soldiers rushed up behind him and stood behind him, glaring angrily.
"Hoola", the soldiers around Zhang Sun Chong and Yuan Boyan also stepped forward one after another. The two sides faced each other on the spot in the city gate building, and their swords were at war.
Boy Yuan was about to go crazy. He was about to speak, but Chang Sun Chong reached out to stop him.
Changsun Chong nodded slightly and said to Mr. Yuan: "Since he wants the king's order, let's go to the palace and ask for an order from the king. At this moment, the enemy is facing us, and the enemy army can reach the city at any time. If we are It’s really inappropriate to make a fuss.”
Boy Yuan said: "But..."
Changsun Chong dragged him out and stopped him from talking.
The royal general was so proud that he sneered: "How dare you show off your power in front of me even if your two hairs are not fully grown? Damn you!"
"Haha!"
The soldiers on the left and right laughed loudly and ridiculed.
Boy Yuan was pulled out by Changsun Chong. He stamped his feet angrily and said angrily: "How can Dalang be so cowardly? They are just a bunch of dead bones in the grave. Why should you be afraid..."
Changsun Chong ignored him and stood in the wind and snow outside the city tower, saying to one of his own soldiers: "Go down and pass the order. If any of the soldiers guarding the city make any move, they will be regarded as treason and will be killed without mercy."
"Here!"
The soldier didn't ask any questions, and rushed down from the city tower to deliver orders to the troops below the city.
Changsun Chong ignored the stunned Yuan Boy, waved his hands to his and Yuan Boy's soldiers behind him, and said: "Come in and kill them all."
"Here!"
The dozens of soldiers he brought from Changsun's family responded, drew their swords out of their sheaths, divided into several small teams, and broke in through the broken windows on all sides of the tower.
"Boom"
The windows were broken, and these soldiers rushed into the tower like wolves and tigers. They screamed, screamed, and cursed, and the tower instantly became a mess.
Boy Yuan thought to himself that this guy has a worse temper than me. He just yelled and scolded, but he directly started killing people. Seeing that his own soldiers were still stunned, he immediately said angrily: "What are you still doing? Fight in!"
The Seven Star Gate is where his life gate lies. His life, death, honor and disgrace for the rest of his life are all tied to this gate. If he cannot control it in his hands, everything will end.
After hearing this, his soldiers finally reacted and rushed in from the main gate of the tower in a chaotic manner.
The defenders at the bottom of the city heard something unusual in the tower and just wanted to come up to check, when they were stopped by the troops brought by Changsun Chong and Yuan Boyan. These defenders were not the royal generals. Facing the army of Da Mo Li Zhi Mansion, even though their hearts were on fire, they did not dare to move.
After a cup of tea, the city tower became quiet.
A soldier of Changsun's family strode out, covered in blood, and came to Changsun Chong: "Report to the great man, the rebels have been killed!"
"Very good!"
Changsun Chong praised him and said to Mr. Yuan: "Send someone to send the head of the rebel bandit to the Da Moli Branch Mansion, tell the truth here, and say that there are people in the royal family who want to collude with the Tang army and secretly open the city gate to welcome the Tang army. When they entered the city, they were detected by us and killed. Please send people from the Da Moli tribe to receive the defenders and make arrangements for them."
Boy Yuan quickly called for a confidant and told him according to Chang Sun Chong's words. The confidant entered the tower and came out immediately, holding a bloody head in his hand. He quickly walked down the tower, mounted his horse and headed towards Da Molizhi. The government rushed there.
Inside the city gate tower, a thick smell of blood filled the air, and you could clearly feel it even standing outside the gate.
Boy Yuan glanced inside, turned around and came to Changsun Chong, and said in surprise: "Could what you said be true?"
Changsun Chong said: "It is better to believe that it is true than to believe that it is not. If the royal family really has such an idea, if we are beaten to the front by them, how can we have any achievements to speak of? Anyway, at this time, no matter whether it is true or false, Da Molizhi will not punish us, we will secure the Seven Star Gate first.”
Boy Yuan nodded repeatedly, deeply convinced.
He had been planning for so long, hoping that when the Tang army attacked the city, he could open the city to welcome the "Wang Shi" into the city, and occupy the "special honors" of this battle with Changsun Chong, so as to please the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and receive generous rewards. There is hope that the Yuan clan can be revived, and it is logical to become the administrator of the Tang Dynasty in Goguryeo. (End of chapter)
