Chapter 159: Hunting at Tiewang Mountain (Part )

Chen Ran did not accept the order, staring at the eunuch and asked, "Who are you?"

"Our eunuch Fang Youde is in charge of the Imperial Palace." The eunuch looked anxious. "Duke Ningguo, why are you disobeying my order?"

"Then I will obey your order." Chen Ran stood up with a smile, "Master, lead the way."

Liu Xianglian came over, and Chen Ran whispered, "Bring all the armored guards with you."

"I obey your orders." Liu Xianglian responded first, and then asked, "General, is there something wrong with this eunuch?"

"Do you know what the Shrine Prison does?"

"I don't know. I've never heard of it."

"They are in charge of the Imperial Ancestral Temple and lamp oil." Chen Ran said with a smile, "I have been a Hanlin Imperial Secretary, and I know the palace very well. Even if His Majesty is really assassinated, it will not be the turn of the eunuchs of the Imperial Palace to deliver the imperial edict."

Liu Xianglian was shocked and quickly drew his knife, "I'm going to chop him up right now!"

"What's the hurry?" Chen Ran raised his hand and pressed his sword back. "There must be an ambush on the road. Tell the soldiers to be steady."

"General!" Liu Xianglian looked anxious. "Why did you enter it when you knew it was a trap?"

"No risk, no gain." Chen Ran whispered, "You stay here secretly and take my newly promoted military students to watch over the barracks. Anyone who spreads rumors and incites the soldiers to leave the camp will be killed immediately!"

"Leader!"

The emperor's tent was located at the center of the protection of tens of thousands of troops. As long as each unit stayed within the camp and did not leave, victory would be achieved by dawn.

The only thing that could go wrong is if the various camps became chaotic.

People feel confused at night because of lack of nutrition and vitamins. Most people suffer from night blindness.

Once chaos breaks out and the camp roars, everything will be over.

The soldiers in the camp don't care whether you are a lord or an emperor, they will just kill you if they see you.

The eunuch Fang Youde couldn't help twitching his lips when he saw Chen Ran was traveling with hundreds of soldiers.

"Duke Ningguo, you brought so many soldiers to see the emperor, are you planning a rebellion?"

Chen Ran was too lazy to respond. He just gave a look and immediately a soldier stepped forward and punched him in the mouth with his gloved fist.

The eunuch was captured, and a large group of people went up the mountain holding many torches.

Seeing Chen Ran's huge army, the ambushing soldiers were at a loss.

It was the first time for them to see that the number of people ambushed was even greater than the people who ambushed them. How could they fight?

According to the original plan, when Chen Ran learned that the emperor had been assassinated, he should have hurriedly set off with dozens of riders.

But what are these hundreds of armored soldiers in front of me?

"General! A tripwire has been found ahead!"

"Commander! A horse trap has been discovered ahead!"

"The Lord."

"The enemy is in Honnoji, bah! Spread out to both sides, the rebels are lying in ambush on both sides!"

The tripwires, horse traps and the like were all prepared for Chen Ran to come with dozens of fast horses.

But it was useless in front of a large number of infantry soldiers.

The sound of fighting soon rang out on both sides of the mountain road.

There were constant shouts and screams in the grass and woods.

A large number of torches were shaking continuously, making people dizzy.

"You want to ambush me? Don't you know that Prime Minister Cao and I are like-minded? I have always been the one to ambush others and cut off their food supply!"

After a fierce battle, more than 200 rebels were killed.

Without any hesitation, Chen Ran led his men and continued up the mountain.

When they arrived at the emperor's camp, they were blocked by a large number of imperial guards.

After reporting and getting the emperor's approval, Chen Ran led his family soldiers into the camp.

"His Majesty."

Chen Ran walked quickly to the bedside, looked at the pale emperor, and asked with a nervous heart, "How is the injury?"

If the emperor is seriously injured and on the verge of death, he will have to activate the backup plan.

The emperor on the bed didn't answer, but waved his hand with his eyes closed.

Chen Ran was puzzled and turned to look at Xia Bingzhong standing beside him.

Xia Bingzhong signaled the doctors to continue, and he pulled Chen Ran out of the tent. "Your Majesty, it's nothing serious. The assassin didn't hurt Your Majesty."

"Then this is"

"Ah." Xia Bingzhong sighed and lowered his voice, "The assassin is a relative of Princess Wei~"

"Huh?" Chen Ran was extremely surprised. "Is it the assassin arranged by the Second Prince? No, it can't be so obvious. Is it a frame-up?"

"So your majesty feels bad." Xia Bingzhong sighed repeatedly, "If it was done by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei, your majesty would be sad. But if it was a frame-up, your majesty would be even sadder."

Chen Ran understood immediately, "Is it the eldest prince and the third prince?"

"The assassin has poison in his mouth, so he can't be interrogated."

"This is truly the norm in the Heavenly Family."

It was common for fathers and sons to kill each other for the throne, and for brothers to kill each other, but Chen Ran didn't take it too seriously.

As for which prince did it, the emperor himself has to worry about it.

"Your Majesty has given instructions." Xia Bingzhong sighed for a few words, then turned to the main topic, "Duke Ningguo, please accept the camp. Everything will be clear at dawn."

Chen Ran nodded, that was indeed the truth.

After chatting for a few words, he said goodbye and returned to his camp.

When I came back, I saw the soldiers dragging several corpses out.

"General." Liu Xianglian came over quickly. "These people tried to incite rebellion. I have already dealt with them."

"Okay." Chen Ran nodded. "Remember their identities, report to His Majesty after the incident, and kill their entire family."

After patrolling the camp, Chen Ran returned to his tent and told Liu Xianglian to keep an eye on things. He lay down in his armor and took a nap. Not long after he fell asleep, he was awakened by Liu Xianglian's urgent calls.

He opened his sleepy eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"General, something terrible has happened. His Majesty has been assassinated!"

Chen Ran turned over, closed his eyes and continued to sleep. "I've talked about this before."

"No, General." Liu Xianglian was anxious, "It's His Majesty, he was assassinated again!"

"Hmm?" Chen Ran stood up. "Another assassination?"

Liu Xianglian quickly called a eunuch into the tent.

Chen Ran knew this eunuch; he was Xia Bingzhong's godson.

After listening to the story, I realized that the assassin was actually the imperial physician.

".The imperial physician was checking your pulse when he suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed your majesty."

"Why not poison me?" Chen Ran waved his hand.

It seems that the imperial physician can easily poison people, but in fact, he can only prescribe prescriptions. The eunuchs are the ones who prepare and boil the medicines, and they are under the surveillance of many people.

Even if it is a recipe, it can only be used after being reviewed by many people.

"No body search?" Chen Ran was still puzzled. "How could the imperial physician bring a dagger with him so close to the emperor?"

"The dagger was hidden under the bed in advance." The eunuch said sadly, "All those who arranged the tents for the palace in advance were arrested and tortured."

The eunuchs were the ones who arranged the tents for the emperor, and I guess many of his good friends were being tortured at this moment.

"What is the identity of the imperial physician?"

"The imperial physician had taken poison beforehand and was recommended by His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin to the Imperial Hospital a few years ago."

"Hey." The emperor was amused. "Your Majesty's family education is not very good. These sons are... Hey."

"General!" Liu Xianglian, who had gone out earlier, ran in again in panic.

"What happened again?" Chen Ran frowned. "Did His Majesty get assassinated again?"

"No, it's in the west." Liu Xianglian swallowed his saliva. "Several battalions of the Shenwei Camp and the Shenyong Camp have rebelled. The rebels are coming towards us!"

"Is the amount this time so big?"

Chen Ran was a little surprised. "Several camps together? That's not right."

"It's true." Liu Xianglian pointed outside and shouted, "The Shenwu Camp next door is in chaos, and there's a howl in the camp."

Chen Ran raised his hand and motioned him to stop talking.

He then turned to ask the eunuch who came to report the news, "Tell me, how is your majesty's injury?"

"When the assassin was trying to kill him, my godfather who was standing nearby was quick to push him. The dagger was meant for his heart, and in the end, in the end." The eunuch looked embarrassed, as if he had something to hide.

"My time is precious now. If you dare to drag your feet when asking me a question, I will drag you out and chop you off."

"Yes, yes." The eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead. "The dagger fell and injured your majesty between his legs."

Chen Ran'Σ(°△°|||)︴'

Doesn't this mean he has become a eunuch? !
".The doctors said that there is no immediate concern for his life, but it will be difficult to have children in the future."

The imperial doctors were accustomed to saying the best of things, saying that it would be difficult to have children, which meant that the child would not be useful in the future.

"This is true." Chen Ran shook his head and stood up.

It’s enough that the emperor is not dead. He can’t be inhumane in the future. He already has three sons anyway.

"Light up all the torches and oil lamps." He strode out of the tent and told the gathered generals, "Each unit should enter the pre-demarcated areas and guard them."

"Anyone who leaves his post without permission will be beheaded, anyone who retreats without fighting will be beheaded, and anyone who disobeys military orders will be beheaded!"

"Leader!"

For the siege at Tiewang Mountain this time, each camp of the Beijing Army only brought half of their troops, and those who were selected were naturally the elite.

There are enough torches, oil lamps, fires and other things to help fight.

Chen Ran had divided each department into their own areas in advance, and they were only allowed to stay in their respective areas. Anyone who dared to leave would be killed without mercy.

This was to avoid spreading panic and causing a terrible camp roar.

Not long after, a large group of defeated soldiers rushed in from outside the camp. They looked panicked and most of them were not even wearing armor.

They were blocked outside the camp by barricades, antlers and trenches, and shouted loudly to open the door and let them in.

"General, you are all from the Divine Power Camp."

Before Liu Xianglian finished speaking, Chen Ran had already given the order, "Fire!"

The dense sound of musketry rang out continuously, and the flying rain of arrows fell into the fleeing soldiers, causing them to scream in pain.

"General, Lord General~"

Liu Xianglian was horrified. "The Shenwei Camp is not a rebel army."

"Remember this." Chen Ran taught on the spot, "Don't trust anyone at this time."

"Can you be sure that the Shenwei Camp didn't rebel? Can you be sure that there weren't rebels among the fleeing soldiers, planning to take advantage of the chaos to open the camp gate? Can you be sure that they are really from the Shenwei Camp?"

"When you are on the battlefield, you must first be responsible for yourself and your brothers. The best way to deal with danger is to eliminate it."

Liu Xianglian was greatly shocked and stood there in a daze without saying a word.

"Even if they are not rebels, can they be killed?"

"When you encounter danger, you must eliminate it in its infancy." Chen Ran's expression remained unchanged. "When you go to the battlefield, you can have any thoughts you want. But you can't be so naive and think about saving someone."

The defeated soldiers who suffered heavy losses did not dare to stay outside the camp and fled to other camps in all directions.

It gradually became quiet outside.

But not long after, a familiar voice was heard from the darkness outside the camp.

"Ran Gong~ I am Feng Ziying. My father is injured. Please allow my father and I to enter the camp to heal~~~"
