Chapter 240 Bandits attack and are trapped in the imperial mausoleum!

Bandits attacked and were trapped in the imperial mausoleum!

"Tianzihao secret report?"

There was a hint of doubt on Ning Chen's face, and Emperor Yu also frowned and looked at Ning Fan.

However, Ning Fan did not rush to explain. Instead, he silently opened the secret letter in his hand and took out a bag of tips from his arms. After comparing them one by one, his expression suddenly changed.

"What happened?"

"Father, King Huai is preparing to raise troops."

As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, Emperor Yu also looked condensed. After a brief pause, he spoke softly: "Now there are 200,000 nationalist troops stationed in our capital. Who gave him the courage?"

"Your Majesty, we have arrived at the imperial mausoleum."

"Um!"

Emperor Yu waved his hand, looked at Ning Fan aside, and said in a deep voice: "In your opinion, what should we do?"

"Father, King Huai must have full confidence in raising troops, otherwise he would never take action at this time."

"As for Dali, I can't say for the time being, but I'm afraid the Western Region..."

Before Ning Fan finished speaking, Ning Chen's expression suddenly changed. He took a step forward and shouted: "Father, I request you to return to Xuanjian Pass immediately!"

"If Da Yan attacks our western territory with all his strength, how many days can Xuanjian Pass hold on?"

"If my son is here, it will be at least a month. If my son is not here... three days at most."

Ning Chen's tone was very firm and without any humility. He bluntly stated his importance. Emperor Yu's face darkened: "Is it still too late to go back now?"

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's time to enter the imperial mausoleum."

Zhao Rui, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward to urge him, and Emperor Yu also stepped forward and led all the civil and military officials directly to the imperial mausoleum.

"The ancestor worship ceremony will be carried out first, and the rest will be discussed when we get back."

After this incident, the ceremony was accelerated. After Emperor Yu and Ning Fan went through a set of procedures in front of their ancestors, he was officially canonized as a prince, and the princes also took turns to worship him.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty has a group of bandits who are rushing towards the imperial mausoleum."

"Um?"

Emperor Yu's expression suddenly turned cold, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes: "It's just a bandit, how can you be so panicked!"

"Jing Li!"

"exist!"

"Those who enter the imperial mausoleum without permission will be killed without mercy!"

"According to the order."

Jing Li strode away with a team of fine armor, but Ning Fan looked thoughtfully towards the entrance of the imperial mausoleum, his expression slightly changed: "How many soldiers and horses do these bandits have?"

"Back to Your Highness, there are currently more than a thousand people, and there are still many bandits gathering in this direction."

"Gao Shun!"

"The general is here!"

"Lead the trapped camp and fight out. No matter what, make sure the road back to Beijing is smooth."

"Got the order!"

Gao Shun bowed respectfully and led eight hundred troops to form an array in front of the imperial mausoleum. Ning Fan looked at Emperor Yu who was standing aside: "Father, it seems that they came well prepared. If Jia Xu's guess is correct, King Huai will definitely Prepared a trump card.”

"Besides, no trace of Yan Longwei has been found so far. Please ask my father to drive back to the palace."

Ning Fan's face also had a hint of solemnity. Now King Huai is plotting an uprising, but they currently don't know which forces have been united. However, according to Jia Xu's speculation, there may be another turmoil on the four borders.

"Um!"

Emperor Yu nodded slightly, looked at Wei Ying aside and said, "Go back to the palace and keep the ceremony simple."

"promise!"

Wei Ying responded and saw Jing Li striding over and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, a rebel army with more than ten thousand people was found at the foot of the mountain. They are now marching behind the bandits. Looking at their military appearance, they should be in order." He has undergone rigorous training!”

"Unknown rebels were found in the capital, numbering over 10,000...and well-trained!"

"Jing Li, are you kidding me?"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Jing Li knelt down on one knee and said in a solemn tone: "Your Majesty, this army does not have standard armor. It should not be a regular army. Instead, it looks like bandits that have been integrated."

"Now that the main route down the mountain has been blocked by this rebel army, it is difficult for our news to spread..."

"Father, I will protect you and fight out!"

Ning Chen held a halberd in his hand, and a murderous aura surged from his body. He silently took a step forward, with a cold look in his eyes.

Emperor Yu's face pondered for a moment, and he looked at Jing Li and asked: "With the three thousand forbidden troops under your command, plus the trapped camp, can it be possible to break through their blockade?"

"Your Majesty, the way down the mountain is difficult and the valley entrance is narrow. It may be difficult to escape in a short time!"

"This time I left the city with only three thousand soldiers and armor."

"It's better to stay here and wait for help, waiting for the news from Beijing..."

"Hmph!" Emperor Yu suddenly showed a cold look on his face and glanced at Jing Li lightly: "When the news comes from the capital, I'm afraid Dayu will have to change his dynasty!"

"Generals, follow me and fight out together. I won't look down upon mere banditry!"

"Before tonight, we must rush back to the capital."

"Father!"

Ning Fan suddenly took a step forward and said softly: "I have a way to spread the news. It can reach the capital in half an hour at most."

"Your Highness!"

Guo Jia, who had not spoken until now, suddenly spoke softly: "At this time, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are gathered here, and there is no one in the capital who can take on this important task. Besides, this is the capital. If the news that His Majesty is trapped gets out, something might happen." !”

Emperor Yu also nodded in agreement, looked at Ning Fan and said with a smile: "Didn't you tell me how brave the trapped camp under your command is, and the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, I have always heard of their demeanor, let me open my eyes today. !”

"I think back then, I also wielded a spear and crossed the battlefield."

"Jing Li, send a team of imperial guards to protect the civil and military officials. The rest of you, follow me and fight together."

"Yes!"

Ning Fan also looked at Emperor Yu in surprise. In his impression, Emperor Yu did go to the battlefield several times before he ascended the throne, but he didn't expect that after so many years, he would still be so brave.

After leaving the imperial mausoleum, shouts of killing came from the distant forest. Gao Shun strode over and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the bandits at the foot of the mountain are all equipped with strong bows and crossbows, and have blocked the main road down the mountain!"

"Is there any way?"

Hearing Emperor Yu's question, Jing Li's face sank, and he said softly: "This time we left the capital, we traveled lightly and were not equipped with shields, but a team of armored soldiers brought bows and crossbows."

"Let the crossbow team go up to cover, and the rest of the soldiers, follow me to fight!"

"Yes!"

At Emperor Yu's order, 3,000 imperial guards and 800 soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp rushed directly to the mountain road down the mountain. After just a few steps, thousands of arrows attacked, and figures fell in a pool of blood.

"Damn it!"

"With so many archers, how can a mere gang of bandits get so many strong bows and crossbows?"

"Where did these people come from? In just half a day, they were able to raise an army of no less than 10,000 people. This place is only seven miles away from my capital!"

Emperor Yu looked frustrated. He looked around and said disappointedly: "It seems that I have stayed in the city for too long. What I heard is completely different from what I saw."

"I believe whatever they say. If this is the case in the capital, what about other places?"
