Chapter Eighty-Nine: The East Palace Coup
Command
"My lord, it's not good, it's not good!" a deputy commander of the Iron Blood Army hurriedly ran over to wake up the sleeping Fan Bozhong, "My lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the opposite. ”
"What are you talking about!" Fan Bozhong sat up suddenly.
"My lord, it's true, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the opposite. Seeing that Fan Bozhong was in a trance, the deputy commander emphasized again.
"What's going on?" Fan Bozhong hadn't recovered yet, his eyes were blank, and his brain was racing.
"It's too late to explain, Your Majesty has ordered you to lead the Iron Blood Army into the palace to escort you. The deputy commander hurriedly said.
Fan Bozhong relieved himself at this time, he hurriedly got out of bed and got dressed, and quickly ordered the deputy commander, "Gather the army immediately and enter the palace to escort you!"
......
Yiwang Mansion
King Yi and the princess were asleep when a squire suddenly broke in and woke them up.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, something big has happened in the palace. The attendant said hurriedly.
Ye Ji opened his eyes impatiently and sat up, "What's wrong?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, the prince is the opposite. ”
"What are you talking about!" Nightshade suddenly lost her sleepiness, "Say it again!"
"The crown prince has rebelled, and now he has been killed in the imperial city. The squire added.
"He's reversed, so fast?"
Shen Anran also sat up, leaned over and rested his head on Ye Ji's shoulder.
"Is there any movement in the Qi Palace?" Ye Ji suddenly asked.
"There was no movement. The squire replied.
Ye Ji wanted to ask something, but Shen Anran interrupted him first, "Your Highness, shouldn't we lead our troops into the palace to escort us now?"
"Yes, yes. Ye Ji nodded hurriedly, "Ran'er is right. ”
After finishing speaking, Ye Ji got up and changed into a military uniform, and instructed his subordinates, "Gather the government soldiers and enter the palace quickly." ”
"Yes, Your Highness. ”
......
Here, the people of the prince Yeshu and the Nan brothers were like bamboos all the way, and they soon killed in front of the Taiji Palace.
The Praetorian Guards waited there early for the arrival of the prince's rebels. Emperor Zhaoning did not appear, and at this moment he was playing against himself in the palace without hurry.
Ye Shu looked around, surrounded by the Praetorian Guards, who were facing him with bows and arrows, and there was no way to retreat.
"Stop it, Your Highness the Prince. The commander of the Praetorian Guard stood on a high place and said coldly to Yeshu.
Ye Shu's eyes were cold, he looked at the hall and sneered, as if he was saying to himself, and also to the people in the hall. "At this point, there is no way back. ”
The hand of the person in the hall holding the chess piece paused slightly, and after a while, it fell on the chess surface as if nothing had happened.
"That being the case... Except for the crown prince, none remained. The Janissary commander commanded.
In an instant, tens of thousands of arrows shot out from a high place, and the rebel soldiers fell down, Nan Xuanji and Nangong Ying tightly protected Ye Shu, taking advantage of that effort, Nan Xuanji quietly said to Nangong Ying, "Gong Ying, you will find a chance to take the prince away in a while." ”
"No, brother, I'll stay, you take the prince away. Nangong Ying decisively refused.
"Listen to me. Nan Xuanji said to Nangong Ying in an irrefutable tone.
Nangong Ying paused, and his tone was heavy, "Brother, I am familiar with the palace, and I am also familiar with the strength of the Praetorian Guard, and I don't know much about the affairs of the Xuan Palace. You take the prince to the Xuan Palace, and I will stay and try my best to help you delay time. ”
"There's no time, don't excuse yourself. Nangong Ying left a sentence at the end, and suddenly took out a *** from his clothes and threw it on the ground, and in an instant, the white smoke blinded everyone's sight. Nangong Ying took the opportunity to push Nan Xuanji and Ye Shu away, and ran in the opposite direction by himself.
Seeing this, the commander of the Praetorian Guard waved his hand and led the Praetorian Guard to pursue in the direction of Nangong Ying, at the same time, Ye Ji and the people of the Yi Wangfu surrounded the east gate of the imperial city, Fan Bozhong led the men and horses to besiege the west gate of the imperial city, and the main gate and the back gate were guarded by the Praetorian Guards.
Nangong Ying attracted the attention of the Praetorian Guards, and Nan Xuanji and Ye Shu detoured the path to leave through the side gate.
In this battle, Nan Xuanji and Nangong Ying knew that they couldn't move Emperor Zhaoning in the slightest, they just hoped that they could take Ye Shu away from the imperial city and save their lives through the rebellion.
The two successfully bypassed the guards, and just wanted to escape from the imperial city through the side gate, only to see three thin men wearing masks and night clothes standing there at the side gate, cold and cold, which really made people tremble.
"Who are you waiting for?" Nan Xuanji subconsciously protected Ye Shu behind him, and looked at the three people in front of him vigilantly.
The first person just smiled faintly and motioned to the two people beside him to move. The two of them drew their swords and rushed towards Nan Xuanji, who stepped forward to meet the enemy, leaving only one sentence for Ye Shu to leave quickly.
"You... Can't go. The gaze of the leader instantly became poignant, and he jumped up one by one, "Papapa!" Three hidden weapons, very accurately shot Ye Shu's right hand and two thighs.
Ye Shu knelt on the ground with a "snap", his face was painful. He covered his bloody arm with his left hand and whispered.
The man in the lead stepped forward slowly, he lifted his mask and stepped on Ye Shu's back.
Ye Shu shouted "Ah!", struggled to raise his head, and met the man's eyes.
"Night... Every... villain..."
Ye Fan laughed, his laughter was terrifying and hair-grabbing.
"Yeshu, I can't imagine that you will have today. ”
"I... ...... with you Why complain?" Ye Shu gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.
"Really?" Ye Fan sneered. He took away the foot that was stepping on Ye Shu's body, picked him up with his hands, looked directly at him, and said word by word, "Your good mother and concubine committed suicide in the cold palace this morning, you see... You don't want to spend time with her?"
"What?!" Ye Shu said in surprise.
"You killed my mother...... That's not all. Ye Fan said, "I want you to see with your own eyes, get the crown prince, and lose this position... Feel the pain of what you have gained and what you have lost. Such... You are the atonement for your sins. ”
"Huh. Ye Shu sneered, "The East Palace is just a chess piece, a chess piece for the father to restrain the court." ”
"But I think you'd be happy to make this piece. Yefan smiled.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind Ye Shu, Ye Fan moved his gaze behind him, and Ye Shu also subconsciously turned around.
Nan Xuanji also stopped fighting with the two at this time, and the eyes of several people shot into the side door in unison.
"Shang Ye?!" Nan Xuanji lost his voice, his eyes full of surprise and doubt.
Ye Fan's face was calm, and he was not surprised by this matter in the slightest.
Shang Ye walked over, just glanced at Nan Xuanji faintly, and then set his eyes on Ye Fan.
"How's going over there?" Ye Fan said.
"Nangong Ying has been shot on the spot, and His Majesty has decreed that if the prince is caught, he can be executed on the spot. Shang Ye replied.
Getting this answer, Ye Fan laughed, and his eyes fell on Ye Shu again.
"This time, even my father won't save you. ”
"How come?!" Ye Shu's eyes widened in horror.
Ye Fan got the secret weapon, pulled the secret weapon, and it was an arrow to Ye Shu's neck. Yeshu fell to the ground and died instantly.
"You lie. Nan Xuanji angrily reprimanded Shang Ye, "The emperor will not suddenly change his words, he will not give an order to kill the prince." ”
Shang Ye glanced at him, but did not answer.
On the contrary, it was Ye Fan, he walked over, his eyes were as cold as frost, "You are right, the emperor really did not say this." ”
"You guys?!" Nan Xuanji realized something, "You guys are complicit!"
"Yes and what!" Ye Fan said loudly.
Nan Xuanji's eyes were red, he stepped on the person who was pressing him beside him, and suddenly took out *** from his arms, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Lord, what should I do, do you want to chase after me?" the two beside him hurriedly asked.
"It doesn't matter. Ye Fan shook his head, "Withdraw, the Praetorian Guard should arrive in a while." ”
"Yes, Lord. The two nodded.
