Chapter 157: Danger
The prince's dagger stopped at the point where he punched Emperor Wei in the chest!
The expression on the prince's face suddenly froze, and he slowly turned sideways, revealing the sharp tip of the knife behind him.
The blade followed like a shadow, still against the prince's waist.
The hilt of the sword is in the hands of an old general with a white beard - General Tiger Ben!
The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and all the ladies here breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before I could take a closer look, a maid beside me suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, and the vine armor soldiers killed us!
Earlier, when I threw a gold plate, causing the prince to be furious and drunk, he was restrained by General Tiger Ben, but his orders were still valid.
If it was Sheng Yao who restrained the prince, he would naturally force the prince to drink the vine armor soldiers.
But at the moment, it is General Huben who is holding the prince hostage, and the father of Wu Shanghua, the sixth lady of the Wufu who is infatuated with Shengyao. If Ruan Liangdi and I had died in the war today, Wu Shanghua would have been satisfied! Naturally, he would not have asked the prince to drink the rattan armor soldiers in time. In this way, the killing in the main hall will continue for a longer time, and King Xiao's connections will only be more damaged.
I turned my head and saw the queen's frightened face, turned my heart sideways, attached it to the queen's ear and hurriedly said: "In the past, the prince of Gu Mansion Ming Jue was kind to his daughter-in-law, if the daughter-in-law goes, I implore the queen mother to take more care of the Gu family!" The queen looked at me in surprise.
Without waiting for her to say anything, I loudly instructed the remaining dozen or so maids: "Escort the queen mother and the queen to the side hall and seal the door of the side hall!"
After speaking, I was about to turn around and run towards General Huben when a slain maid fell straight towards me.
I turned around to avoid it, but I saw Ruan Liangdi next to me fall to the ground due to excessive panic. Pulling her up and pushing her into the arms of the other maid, he urged, "Hurry up!"
At this moment, I realized that a rattan armor soldier had chased after me.
I smiled wryly: Is it really going to die here?
Gritted his teeth and ran a few more steps in the direction of Emperor Wei and General Hu Ben, leading the team of rattan armor soldiers away from the queen and his party in the side hall gate, and the closer he got to General Hu Ben, even if he still didn't save me, the faster he could force the prince to drink the other wielding vine armor soldiers in the palace.
But I didn't know what I tripped under my feet, and I lost my balance and fell to the ground.
Several vine armor soldiers who were chasing after him condescended and raised the blood-stained knives in their hands!
The sound of breaking the sky came, and the bearded rattan armor soldier closest to me blinked in confusion, lowered his head, and looked at the jade belt worn in front of him, and was stunned.
Suddenly, he woke up and scolded a native language of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, shook it a few times, and fell down.
It's Shengyao!
However, when he threw out the jade belt of the enemy, he became even more critical, and he could not escape from the siege to save me.
I looked through the chaos in the hall and looked at Sheng Yao, who was fighting with his bare hands.
Concern is chaotic, and when I was stunned, the knife of another vine armor soldier was already impartial, facing my neck!
I sighed and closed my eyes: Farewell, Shengyao!
However, the knife failed to fall—an indigo-blue figure rushed forward, reaching out and grabbing the arm of the sword-raising vine armorer.
I looked up: the eyebrows are high, the expression is elegant, it is Changruo!
Changruo pushed the soldier away, leaned over and picked me up without hesitation, and carried me away from the encirclement of the vine armor soldiers.
Although Changruo is the son of Xie Wuhou, he has studied literature since he was a child, and he has always respected weapons and martial artists. At this time, the butcher's knife rushed over to fight hand-to-hand, and I felt a lot of emotion in my heart.
Looking out from Chang Ruo's shoulder, several rattan armor soldiers who surrounded us just now were about to catch up, but a leader-like person next to him issued an order in the native language of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and several people stopped pursuing Chang Ruo's steps and turned around to join the team besieging King Xiao.
King Xiao's left arm had been injured before, and he had no blade in his hand at this time, which was already difficult to support. After these soldiers surrounded him, he quickly received two more stab wounds on his left chest and abdomen, and he was about to be captured.
I was so anxious that I looked at Changruo in a panic and said, "Let me go!"
Changruo's familiar eyes were unfamiliar to me, but the hands that hugged me were tighter.
Everyone in the hall watched, it was already very inappropriate for him to take me out of danger and carry me into his arms before, let alone now.
I didn't care much, so I broke free from him and got off the ground. But as soon as he stood firmly, there was a heart-piercing pain in his right foot - he ran in a hurry before, and he fell not lightly.
Changruo hurriedly supported me, I held back the pain, hurried to General Huben, the crown prince, and Emperor Wei, and shouted loudly: "The soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty obey the order, stop attacking!
After shouting twice, the attack in the main hall gradually stopped.
Regardless of my foot injury, I ran to Shengyao.
Sheng Yao also strode towards me.
At this moment, the crown prince ignored the sharp blade of General Tiger Ben against his waist, and shouted at the vine armor soldiers: "Kill the two of them for this palace!
When the vine armor soldiers heard this, they immediately surrounded me and Shengyao and raised their knives to cut them.
Sheng Yao was caught off guard, and only cared about the attack in front of him, but the sharp blade attacking behind him couldn't care.
I saw it clearly, but I couldn't do anything, I just instinctively threw myself behind him, trying to use my body to help him block!
Suddenly there was a burst of exclamations in the hall!
I only felt a tightness in my waist, and I was carried off the ground by a strong force, away from the position of the blade behind Sheng Yao!
I opened my eyes in surprise - there was a long gray whip wrapped around my waist!
Before I could think about it, I had fallen into the arms of a cold aura.
When I looked up, it was Mo Di dressed in black!
With a fair face and a cold expression, a few words spat out from his thin lips: "Silly woman!"
The long whip in his hand did not stop at all, whistling in the air and drawing arcs one after another, and where the whip tip reached, most of the vine armor soldiers besieging Shengyao fell.
However, in half a breath, most of the vine armor soldiers in the main hall were killed and wounded, and the rest fought and retreated, escaping from the palace gate.
The situation was controlled by Mo Di.
He helped me over and left me by Shengyao's side.
He walked up the white marble steps where Emperor Wei was standing, knelt down on one knee and said, "It's too late." ”
Wei Di bowed slightly. Turning his head to look at the prince with a gloomy expression, he raised his hand and slapped him hard in the face.
When Emperor Wei wanted to fight again, the prince wiped the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, looked at Emperor Wei with an indifferent expression, and sneered: "Is this how you beat your mother back then?"
Wei Di's expression froze, as if he couldn't support it anymore, and slowly sat down.
After a while, he asked Mo Di in a hoarse voice, "What's the situation outside?"
"There are about 3,000 soldiers in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and they are fighting fiercely with the palace gate guards. Mo Di was succinct and to the point.
The crown prince's arrangement today can be described as not thoughtful: if the assassination in the main hall is successful, he will reverse black and white to the outside world, claiming that Emperor Wei is conspiring against King Xiao, and he will basically be justified as a prince again. In order to be foolproof, he was worried that King Xiao and the five princes' subordinates would not be satisfied, and they also arranged for the sergeants to take control of the palace ban first. If anyone in the court opposes it, it will be a purge without forgiveness.
It's a foolproof solution.
Sheng Yao walked to the palace gate at this time and observed for a while, and said to Emperor Wei: "Father, there are only about 1,000 guards at the palace gate. The rattan armor of the Eastern Wei people is unbreakable, but I am afraid that the guards will not be able to resist it!"
