Chapter 849: Life and Death (1)
The nurse stood beside Gu Wanning, surrounded by everyone. The arrow just now passed between Linlang and the pearl and was firmly nailed to the nurse's chest.
If you deviate a little further to the left, you will hurt Gu Wanning.
Among these dead men will be sharpshooters.
Ah Chun was still crying with his mouth open.
The dead man outside couldn't break into the house for a while. Ah Chun's cry became a target. At this time, it was Gu Guanning holding the child.
The first arrow hit the nurse, and the second arrow came again, will it hit Gu Wanning?
The strings in Chen Yueniang's head were extremely tight, and her voice was hoarse: "Protect Your Highness and the Imperial Princess." ”
Without Chen Yueniang's orders, everyone had already taken two steps back, and with their own flesh and blood, they were willing to be the shield of Gu Wanning and Taisun.
Gu Wanning didn't have time to take care of these, she lowered her head and coaxed the child in her arms: "Ah Chun, don't cry, my mother is here." ”
Ah Chun didn't know whether he was hungry or startled by the sound of knives and guns, not only did he not stop crying, but he cried even louder.
The sharpshooter outside the door flew another arrow.
That arrow was coming in the direction of Ah Chun.
Linlang didn't want to block the arrow with his chest.
"Linlang!" Gu Wanning's heart was shocked, and he exclaimed.
Seeing that the arrow had reached three inches in front of Linlang's chest, a trace of silver light came in an instant, and the arrow was shot down. Kankan saved Linlang's life.
That glimmer of silver light also landed, and it turned out to be an extremely light and sharp flying knife.
Linlang's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Gu Wanning's heart was agitated, and his legs were slightly weak.
The grandson hugged Gu Wanning, and even the young Ah Chun into his arms: "Ah Ning, don't be afraid." ”
……
As soon as the words fell, dozens of figures quietly fell from the roof.
These dozens of people, all over forty years old, are all palace attendants. Headed by the leader, it was Father-in-law Qian, who had served by Emperor Yuanyou's side for decades.
"The minion is too late to save the driver. ”
At this critical moment, Father-in-law Qian had no time to salute, so he only hurriedly said a word. Then he ordered all the attendants to spread out in the house, and to guard the door.
Taisun immediately responded: "Father-in-law Qian doesn't have to be polite. ”
Gu Wanning's frightened heart slowly returned to his position at this time.
This father-in-law Qian, his martial arts are unfathomable. It is not an exaggeration to say that one is ten when one is a hundred. No matter where Emperor Yuanyou goes, there is a figure of the rich father-in-law by his side.
Now that Emperor Yuanyou has returned to the west, Gonggong Qian and his subordinates have stayed behind and continued to serve the new emperor.
This is also the last line of defense arranged by Taisun.
The archers outside the door did not hesitate and continued to shoot arrows.
Father-in-law Qian snorted coldly, his hands moved slightly, and two flying knives flew out together, one flying knife shot down the flying arrows, and the other flying knife flew out through the doorway.
Far away, I couldn't hear if anyone had been hit by a throwing knife. It's just that after this throwing knife, no more arrows flew in.
Occasionally, there were dead soldiers who rushed through the defense line of the Divine Guard and Taisun's own soldiers, but they didn't have a chance to rush into the house at all, and they died at the hands of the attendants. There is no need for a father-in-law to make a move.
Gonggong Qian listened intently for a moment, and suddenly said, "King Qi led the troops to rush in. ”
A cold chill flashed in Taisun's eyes.
Ah Chun was still crying, and no matter how Gu Wanning coaxed, he had to stuff his little fist into his mouth. There was something in his mouth, Ah Chun immediately stopped crying, and smashed his little fist.
Gu Guanning breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, Father-in-law Qian's words also happened to reach his ears.
King Qi is here.
……
It was still dark.
The octagonal palace lamp hanging under the eaves of the corridor was swayed by the cold wind, making a rustling sound. I don't know who shot the arrow and extinguished the palace lamp. The light suddenly dimmed a lot.
Next, the palace lamps were shot out one after another, and finally only three or two were left shaking in the wind, the light and shade were uncertain, and the light was dim.
The ground was full of dead bodies, and the scarlet and pungent blood almost seeped under the sturdy green bricks of Yanfu Palace.
The man with the weapon is still fighting fiercely. You live and die, and you don't die.
In a scuffle, no one took the initiative to attack King Qi.
Although the King of Qi is the mastermind of this fierce battle in the palace, he is still the vassal king of the Great Qin Dynasty and the imperial uncle of today's grandson.
Out of awe of the royal family's royal power, or out of the inexplicable fear of King Qi. Whether it was Ding Xiao or Mu Tao, they all subconsciously ignored the existence of King Qi.
There were all the guards, and no one made a move against the king.
It wasn't until King Qi led his troops into the palace that Mu Tao woke up and hurriedly led people to catch up. However, by this time it was too late.
The guards behind King Qi entangled him like tigers and wolves.
Mu Tao was in a hurry, so he could only warn: "King Qi has broken in!"
……
King Qi heard the exclamation behind him, his eyes flashed coldly, and his steps did not hesitate.
He was not in a good mood at this time.
For this day, he secretly planned for many years.
As a vassal king, his words and deeds are eye-catching. He has no right to lead troops, and only has a thousand personal soldiers on the surface. In order to feed the dead, he worked hard and secretly spent countless gold and silver.
Tonight, almost all of them were killed or wounded. His years of hard work have also been consumed.
Over the years, he secretly befriended officials in the DPRK and China, won over Xiao Huaiyuan, and also paid a great price. Outsiders only know that King Qi's domain is rich, but they don't know that he spent most of the family business of King Qi on these places.
However, no matter how hard he tried, in the eyes of Emperor Yuanyou, he was not as good as his grandson.
Taisun has the status of an orthodox prince and is the rightful heir to the throne of Great Qin. This huge advantage, no matter how hard he tried, could not be compared.
The anger and unwillingness that surged in his chest and the strong desire for the throne mixed into strange and fierce emotions that surged in his heart.
He thought he was taken by surprise.
But he didn't expect that Taisun had already taken precautions.
He thought that he could enter Yanfu Palace, and personally beheaded Taisun under the sword, expressing the depression and anger in his chest.
However, the facts before us are extremely cruel.
The grandson has already prepared a net, waiting for him to throw himself into the net.
Will Taisun lie under the sword of Taisun's corpse tonight, or will he be splashed with blood on the spot?
King Qi's face was cold, with a fierce light in his eyes, and he strode into Yanfu Palace, holding a sword in his hand. The sword glowed with an icy cold light, which made people's hearts palpitate.
However, before he could see the face of the grandson, dozens of attendants had already flocked to him. These internal servants are all highly skilled, and the personal soldiers around Taisun are not invincible at all. In the first place, there were already dead and wounded.
However, there were as many as 100 soldiers around King Qi. These chamberlains did not rush to King Qi's side for a while.
King Qi finally arrived outside the dormitory.
Taisun stood indoors, surrounded by everyone, and Gonggong Qian stayed by Taisun's side.
The king of Qi and the grandson are far away from each other.
