Cai Jing stepped forward and saw a picture of calligraphy placed on the table. Next to it was the picture of beauty that Zhao Ji had just painted.

Looking over, Cai Jing stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's writing skills have improved so much, I'm afraid that after a while, even the ministers will be unable to catch up."

Hearing what Cai Jing said, Zhao Ji, who originally looked worried, couldn't help but smile a little and said, "Cai Qing needs to work harder."

Cai Jing quickly bowed and said: "I must remember your Majesty's teachings."

As night falls, Bianliang City is a city that never sleeps. Several bustling streets in the city are brightly lit, and the liveliness is no worse than during the day.

Groups of city guards patrolling the streets passed by, but the people on the streets were doing their own thing without being disturbed at all.

On the city wall, figures stand there one after another. However, if you observe carefully, you will find that the soldiers guarding the city are not staring at the movement outside the city with their eyes wide open. Instead, they are leaning on each other one by one.

Dozing on the battlements.

Bianliang City has been in peace for a long time, and it has never been attacked by foreign enemies. Over time, even the soldiers guarding the city have become very lazy, and they are just going through the motions.

Not to mention these soldiers, even the generals responsible for defending the city did not even come to inspect the city most of the time, and even left such important matters as defending the city to their deputies.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine how tightly Bianliang City was defended. There were hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in the capital of the Song Dynasty, but there were only a few who could truly stand up to a fight.

During this night, a group of people was slowly approaching Bianliang City.

The leader is none other than Lu Junyi.

This time, with Lu Junyi, Wu Song, and Lin Chong as the vanguard, the army headed straight for the capital.

Marching at night was originally a difficult task, but neither Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, nor Wu Song complained, but were eager to try it.

Most soldiers cannot see clearly at night, and the problem of night blindness cannot be solved in a short time, but this cannot be difficult for Lu Junyi and others.

At least his cultivation has reached the innate state, and his whole body has been tempered, so seeing things at night is not a problem at all.

Among the tens of thousands of vanguard troops, generals large and small, it is really not a problem to find hundreds of powerful people in the innate realm.

In this way, under the guidance of these people, the tens of thousands of troops were still in order despite the darkness, and there was no trace of chaos at all.

In the distance, through the hazy light above the city wall, the huge Bianliang City came into view.

Seeing the tall city that looked like a ferocious beast entrenched on the earth, Lu Junyi couldn't help stroking his beard and exclaimed: "What a prosperous Bianliang City. If we hadn't attacked at night, once the city was fortified, we would be afraid to break through it again."

But it’s not that easy.”

The city defense of Bianliang City is obviously better than that of Yingtian Mansion. Even if it is Yingtian Mansion, if it is not for the cooperation of Zhongshi Dao, it is really not that easy for them to capture Yingtian Mansion.

As for Bianliang City, as the core of the Song Dynasty, if all the soldiers in the city were united, no one in the world could defeat Bianliang City.

It's a pity that Bianliang City has a fortified city but no qualified soldiers to defend the city.

After quietly lurking a few hundred meters below the city, they saw dozens of figures following Lu Junyi and Wu Song running towards the tall city wall.

These dozens of people are all strong men in the army. Each one of them has a cultivation level that is no less than the innate realm. These are at least one of the leaders in the army. In order to successfully capture the city gate this time, Lu Junyi and others

But he couldn't care much about it.

Even though the internal strife in the Song Dynasty was serious and the army was even more vulnerable to a fight, don't underestimate the foundation of an imperial city. After all, the Zhao family has been a country for hundreds of years. If they can't attack the city, they will fall into a stalemate and try to break the city again.

I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

Of course, the premise is that Chu Yi does not take action. If Chu Yi does take action, not to mention a Bianliang City, even a few more cities will not be able to stop Chu Yi.

Lu Junyi looked at the high city wall and shouted in a low voice: "Destroy the city."

While speaking, Lu Junyi flew up and landed on the city wall. Several city guards near the city wall were sleeping in a daze, and even Lu Junyi did not notice that he landed on the city wall.

However, Lu Junyi is still a strong man in the realm of heaven and man. If even these ordinary soldiers are alarmed, it can only be said that Lu Junyi's cultivation is too poor.

He stretched out his hand and flicked, and suddenly the soldiers around him had their acupuncture points tapped one by one, and fell asleep in a daze.

Soon dozens of figures all climbed onto the city wall, and then ran towards the city gate.

In the city gate cave, a group of dozens of soldiers are inside the city gate cave. The task of these dozens of soldiers is to close the city gate as soon as possible when attacked. They can be regarded as the elite of an army.

It's a pity that there is no difference between the soldiers here and the soldiers guarding the city tower. Almost all the soldiers are sleeping soundly in the city gate hole.

Creaking, the heavy city gate slowly opened under Wu Song's magical power, and the extremely thick city gate was opened just like that.

There was a lot of noise when the city gate was opened. When several soldiers in the city gate heard the movement, they got up in a daze and cursed at Wu Song and others: "Who doesn't know that opening the city gate at night is a capital crime..."

…”

Unfortunately, before they could see clearly who was on the other side, several of them felt their heads shaken, and they fainted due to the pressure of Wu Song's momentum.

As the city gate opened, the army, which had not moved much outside the city, suddenly rushed toward the open city gate, led by thousands of cavalry.

You must know that these thousands of cavalry are about 20% of all the cavalry under Chu Yi. It is simply unbelievable that there are only a few thousand cavalry among nearly 100,000 people.

But in the Song Dynasty, this was a fact. With the loss of several excellent horse farms, the Song Dynasty had been experiencing a severe shortage of horses for hundreds of years. It could even be said that it was very difficult to form cavalry.

Although this scene of thousands of cavalry galloping cannot compare to the scene of tens of thousands of horses galloping, it still makes a lot of noise.

Under the earthquake, many people who were not far from the city at least noticed the movement even if they were asleep.

Under the huge commotion, many people had doubts in their hearts as to what was going on. It sounded like soldiers and horses were entering the city.

However, these people just had such thoughts in their minds. They really did not believe that in the capital of the Song Dynasty, soldiers and horses would enter the city at night. The Song Dynasty had been peaceful for a long time, and people had already lost their vigilance.

But as a large number of soldiers and horses entered the city and began to occupy the city walls everywhere, the soldiers who were originally guarding the city walls finally reacted.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."

Although it is not clear where this sudden enemy came from and who they are, as a defender of the city, you still have to react appropriately after discovering the enemy attack.

Suddenly, there was a lot of noise on the city wall, but facing the wolf-like and tiger-like siege soldiers, these soldiers defending the city had no resistance at all. Some soldiers even lay on the ground and shivered.

Surrender with your head in your hands.

With such a big movement, people in the city finally realized something was wrong, and faintly heard shouts of killing. Now even a fool knew that something was wrong.

Of course, more people thought it was a military rebellion and did not realize that Bianliang City had been breached.

Groups of soldiers and horses rushed into the city, but at this time, the soldiers in the city had not even reacted. Just relying on the few troops on the city wall obviously had no effect.

On the long street, a group of cavalry was heading towards the palace. The leaders were Lu Junyi and Wu Song. As for Lin Chong, he stayed behind to lead the army to defend the city. Even if he could not occupy the whole city because of the night, he tried his best to

There is still no problem in expanding the results.

It would only take an hour or two at most before the army would arrive. As long as the city gate was still in hand at that time, the overall situation was decided.

Following Lu Junyi, Wu Song and the others rode through the long street. The people living on both sides of the long street were all dignitaries in the court. Many people hid behind the door and watched the cavalry passing by, especially those running by.

As they left the palace, many people had looks of horror on their faces.

Cai Jing's residence was not too far from the imperial palace. As Zhao Ji's most favored minister, the residence Zhao Ji gave to Cai Jing was naturally located near the imperial palace.

When Cai Jing was woken up by his men, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer.

The elderly Cai Jing said to the old housekeeper in a daze: "It's so late at night, disturbing people's dreams, what happened?"

The old housekeeper is the person Cai Jing trusts the most. It can be said that even Cai Jing's son may not be able to make Cai Jing trust him as much as the old housekeeper.

While serving Cai Jing to dress, the old housekeeper told Cai Jing the collected information one by one in an orderly manner.

"Sir, our people just got the news that Chu Yi's men have entered the capital..."

"What?"

Hearing the old housekeeper's words, Cai Jing, who was still a little sleepy, almost jumped up, opened his eyes wide, and stared at the old housekeeper in disbelief.

The old housekeeper was still as calm as water and said: "If you want to leave the capital, you must leave immediately. Otherwise, once Chu Yi's army surrounds you, it will not be that easy to leave the capital."

After all, it was Cai Jing. After the initial shock passed, Cai Jing calmed down and said with a solemn face: "I see, that's it. I finally understand why there is no news from Yingtian Mansion. If it is what I expected."

, that old man Zhong Shi Dao has already colluded with the Chu thief. Otherwise, with the strength of the Zhong Family Army and the ability of the old guy Zhong Shi Dao, even if Chu Yi has the power to reach heaven, Ying Tian Mansion will not be able to do this.

It fell within a short period of time.”

The old housekeeper looked at Cai Jing and said, "It's useless for me to say this now. Just let me escort you to leave Beijing quickly."

When Cai Jing heard this, he slowly shook his head, looked at the old housekeeper and said, "Leave Beijing? Others may be able to leave, but I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."

The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment. After he realized what he was doing, he suddenly appeared at the door like a ghost. His eyes were shining brightly and he shouted in a deep voice: "Why don't you show up yet?"

Two figures appeared in the courtyard, and they were Fang La and Guan Sheng.

The two of them watched in surprise as the old housekeeper's rickety figure gradually became taller and straighter, and his whole aura changed drastically. He was clearly a strong man in the realm of heaven and man.

Everyone knows that Cai Jing is not a strong martial artist, but he has a bad reputation all over the world. However, he can be safe and sound under such circumstances. There are countless people who wanted to assassinate Cai Jing and become famous all over the world. They entered Cai Jing's house and never came out again.

When several well-known and powerful people entered the Cai Mansion, they were as thick as mud sinking into the sea. Even fools guessed that there must be a peerless powerhouse in charge of the Cai Mansion.

If not, Chu Yi would not have sent Fang La and Guan Sheng here to prevent Cai Jing from taking advantage of the chaos in the capital.

Whether it is Fang La or Guan Sheng, they are both strong men in the realm of gods. Even if there are two or three gods around Cai Jing, they are not unable to stop Cai Jing.

It's just that no one thought that the strong man in the Cai Mansion who protected the Cai Mansion would be the old housekeeper beside Cai Jing.

The old butler Cai Rong is very low-key in the Cai Mansion and is rarely known to the public. Everyone only knows that Cai Jing has an old servant who has served Cai Jing for decades.

This Cai Rong is also Cai Jing's old servant, and he was also Cai Jing's bookboy. The master and servant have been in love for decades. Cai Rong happens to have extraordinary martial arts qualifications. Under Cai Jing's training, Cai Rong becomes more and more successful.

Before the advent of the great age, he was already a strong man in the realm of heaven and man.

Cai Jing went through many ups and downs, and even later became a traitor reviled by people all over the world. He was not assassinated. It was Cai Rong who relied on him.
