The distance was too far, and the position where Lu Tao and Peony were staying, basically couldn't hear anything clearly, and could only see near the location where it was blown into a pit, the second prince Hongxi and Gonggong Jing confronted each other, and their respective subordinates also stopped fighting after the explosion and stood quietly behind their masters.

There was still thunder outside, but the thunder had become a little paralyzed, as if something else was brewing in the clouds, waiting for an opportunity to release it.

"Ha! the main event is coming!" Peony listened attentively, and then told Lu Tao excitedly.

Lu Tao followed Peony's gaze and understood what she meant the next moment.

In the cover of the thunder, from the left and right, from the front and back, from all directions, countless people were gathering towards the center of the whirlpool, where the second prince and Gonggong Jing were, and then a grand battle broke out.

The sound of the battle between soldiers in the distance finally passed down the air to the ears of Lu Tao and Peony, Peony listened to it with relish, but Lu Tao looked confused, only knowing that no one on either side took advantage, and the two princes Hongxi's men worked hard.

"Who are these people?" Lu Tao glanced at Peony and suddenly found that Peony seemed to be smiling happily.

"Hehe!" Peony chuckled: "The second prince's side is the Imperial Forest Army, it seems that the second prince has already pocketed the Imperial Forest Army, but the number is not right, about half less, it seems that there are not many people who have taken refuge in the second prince, as for Sedum's side, except for the secret guard, most of them are eunuchs like him, and the eunuchs are slaves of the heavenly family, so they have a good calculation." ”

Before Lu Tao could ask Peony what it meant to be a "good fighter", Peony said excitedly: "Oh! It seems that Gonggong Jing is going to make a big move first! But I'm not surprised, after all, where can this group of eunuchs beat the regular Imperial Forest Army? Even if there are secret guards, it can't be enough! My brother has been preparing for a long time for today, and those who have taken refuge in his Imperial Forest Army have been trained enough by him, but the effect is also very good, at least they are fighting with real knives and guns, these Royal Forest Army are definitely the masters of the battlefield, it's a pity! ”

As soon as Peony's words fell, from the roof of a nearby building, many people climbed up with bows and crossbows in their hands, and then, there was a dense firefight, and those people on both sides who were still fighting high and inseparable, fell by a third in an instant.

Lu Tao had a headache when he saw it, and couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Isn't this an arrow that was fired at people on both sides?"

"Heh, of course, it is to shoot arrows at the place where the battle is most fierce to maximize the killing force!" Peony curled the corners of his mouth playfully: "In the eyes of my father, the Imperial Forest Army mixed up with the second prince here is a heinous crime, and it is not a pity to die many times, and the other side is his house slaves, and if they die, they will die, anyway, there are many such house slaves, if they die, just bring in one from the outside, in this palace, I don't know how many palace maids and eunuchs die every day, where is this?"

Lu Tao: "......"

Anyway, he kind of understood what was going on.

On the one hand, the eunuchs and secret guards under Jing Gonggong wanted to get out of the battlefield and expose the main target, so as not to be affected by the fish in the pond, and on the other hand, except for a few people holding shields to defend the bow and crossbow, the other part of the people rushed into the group of eunuchs as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they were bound to let the crossbowmen on the roof throw rat bogeys, so as to reverse the situation.

Unfortunately, no one threw a mouse, and the arrows of the crossbow kept shooting from top to bottom, except for the smarter ones who hid in the buildings on both sides, and the others were killed and wounded in an instant, and there was basically no one left on the ground except for those who were lying on the ground.

The second prince, Hongxi and Sedum Jing, also hid in a nearby building, and in an instant, except for the thunder that was still roaring in the sky, it seemed that the whole world was quiet all of a sudden.

"Ahh

A miserable scream came from below, Lu Tao followed the sound of the scream, and between the roofs and the roofs, there were many black-clothed people, who jumped from one roof to another, wantonly harvesting those crossbowmen who basically had no power to fight back, so the firepower cross net on the roof was destroyed in an instant, and only the scattered crossbowmen were left, and they could only resist with the wooden crossbows in their hands, and then they were slaughtered.

"Is this the second prince's backhand?" Peony frowned: "Let's continue to see." ”

Lu Tao nodded, although he didn't know what the peony wanted to do, but the idea of "snipe and clam fighting, fishermen benefiting" had long been revealed clearly, and now it was true that both sides were defeated, but it was unknown whether the group of people who appeared later was the second prince Hongxi's backhand or another fisherman.

Peony tugged Lu Tao's arm and hid the two behind the window, the group of men in black had a wide range, and some people even passed under the window where Lu Tao and Peony were.

There was an angry roar downstairs, and then it was silent again, but Lu Tao saw a bloodied man in black let out a series of frightened howls running down the alley under the window, and then vanished after a bend.

"Heh!" Peony shook his head: "It seems that the unicorn is not full today." ”

For the growing number of men in black, what had just happened was just a nutrient episode, and they made their way down the rooftops, keeping everyone in check as long as they could move, and it didn't look like any of them at all.

The next moment, Peony shook his head: "This is terrible, it seems that we have to show up, no matter what this group of people do, I can't let them get their wish." ”

Lu Tao followed Peony's gaze and saw that from a certain building, a middle-aged man was surrounded by a man in black and walked out, but it may not be accurate to say that it was a cluster, four men in black surrounded the middle-aged man in the middle, and the knife in his hand was already out of the sheath, they obviously went through a fight, but their eyes were always firmly staring at the middle-aged man in the middle.

"Isn't that the emperor?" Lu Tao looked carefully, the middle-aged man who was surrounded in the middle was the emperor of the Great Qin Empire that he had met several times, his face was pale, his mouth was open and closed, and he didn't know what he was talking about, and the black-clothed people around him seemed to have become a little distracted when they heard the emperor's words, but they were angrily reprimanded by the last black-clothed man with a red silk scarf on his head, and the black-clothed people stopped at their hearts.

"That's right! it's Father!" Peony nodded: "I knew that Father would definitely hide somewhere to watch this big show, but unfortunately, it seems that the masters of these men in black also know about it." ”

Being able to see everyone's expressions clearly from such a distance, Lu Tao suddenly felt that even if he couldn't use the spell, this clairvoyant ability was enough to benefit Lu Tao a lot.

Peony didn't have time to see if the men in black had been moved by what her father had said, so she hurried down to the second floor, then opened the window and jumped from it.

Lu Tao jumped down with Peony, turned left and right with Peony, and soon bypassed the wall, finally approaching the range of some of the black-clothed people.

Because these black-clothed men had already inspected the surrounding buildings before, Lu Tao and Peony were not hindered in any way when they advanced, and they easily reached the vicinity of the group of people and heard their voices.

"Quick!

Lu Tao: "......"

Well, the first thing Lu Tao heard was the voice of the peony, the emperor and those black-clothed people were blocked behind a high wall, from this side of the high wall, although they could faintly hear the sound of the other side, they couldn't see what was going on, and it was stacked with the moans of the injured outside, even if they wanted to hear something, they had to concentrate their attention.

Let Peony step on his shoulder and hold on to the wall, and the scene and sound on the opposite side can finally be heard clearly by Peony.

Lu Tao also put his ear on the wall, cheered up his spirit, and vaguely heard the conversation on the other side of the wall.

"There is not a trace of falsehood in what I just said! I am the master of the royal family! Whether it is money or power! I will give you whatever you want! Who is your master?!"

This is the voice of the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, after all, there will only be His Majesty the Emperor who calls himself "I".

After a moment of silence, the voice just now continued to sound: "You have no benefit in doing this! As long as you are in this palace, the power is mine! So, you don't dare to kill me, and you don't dare to speak, right? Look at your master, you don't have the courage at all, and you still expect him to bring you glory and wealth? I can guess that as long as you go back, your master will kill people and kill people, so that you will never be able to open your mouth, as for your family, hum, how the royal family does things, I believe you will not know, right? But I'm different, I can swear to the ancestors of the royal family, as well as the centuries-old state of the Great Qin Empire! As long as you help me regain control of the palace now, I will never take revenge, and I will give everything to ......!"

"Shut up!" Another voice suddenly rose, and His Majesty the Emperor's voice was cut off from the middle: "Hmph! Don't think I dare to kill you! Kill an emperor, a certain family has been waiting for a long time hahaha!"

"Hmm...... Mmmmmm

Lu Tao put his ear against the wall again, but he couldn't hear any sound.

Peony jumped off Lu Tao's shoulder: "Father and Emperor were taken away by them!

As he spoke, Peony chased in the opposite direction to just now, because he was afraid of losing it, every time he passed a distance, Lu Tao had to cushion under it and let Peony climb up to take a look.
