Chapter 154: Blood and Power Clash

Five-way soldiers, no, six-way to be exact. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the middle of this ordinary early winter night, from different starting points, in different directions, towards the unknown, towards victory, or death.

The 5,000 soldiers in the city led by King Rong Zhongrui were at the south gate, and the soldiers and horses he brought back to report on their duties were separated and rushed to the west gate; Zhong An rushed to the east gate with the patrol battalion, half of Zhou Yun's soldiers and horses were at the north gate, and the other half was with Zhou Yun himself and King Qing's soldiers and horses.

As for King Qing...... King Qing had already arrived at the palace, of course, but only before reaching the palace gate.

Under the Qingque Gate, the three thousand guards on horses quickly lined up, their bows and arrows wound.

In front of the palace gate, the torches burning brightly in the hands of the soldiers on both sides illuminated this moonless cold winter night as bright as day.

On the brown horse at the front of the Praetorian Guard, Xie Ming was dressed in a silver battle armor, his right hand was holding the hilt of the sword at his waist, looking at King Qing and Zhou Yun on the horse next to him, who were rushing in front of him, and said coldly, "Lord Qing, General Zhou, what are you trying to do?!" ”

On the black iron cavalry in front of the soldiers and horses on the opposite side of the Praetorian Guard, Zhong Zhe, who was dressed in a red robe, smiled lightly, "This king heard that the imperial brother was assassinated by the Wen Bohou Yu party tonight, so he hurried over, and now we are naturally here to rescue the driver!" ”

"Stabbing? What line of stabs? It's really a big joke," Xie Ming sneered, "How could Your Majesty be assassinated?" Besides, if Your Majesty was really assassinated, how could the last general, as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, not be by His Majesty's side but be here?! ”

King Qing squinted his eyes and smiled lightly, "This is naturally because you colluded with the remnants of the remnants of the eldest princess of Wenbo Hou Zhaoning, and conspired to kill the holy driver inside and outside in order to achieve great causes, do you still need this king to explain for you?" ”

Xie Ming snorted coldly, "Such a ridiculous crime made out of nothing, Prince Qing can really think of it, I'm afraid that it is not the last general who is plotting against him, but Prince Qing and General Zhou?!! ”

"Really?" King Qing smiled and squinted.

At this moment, Zhou Yun next to King Qing suddenly raised his hand, and a bow and arrow shot out instantly, and with an irresistible momentum, he went straight to Xie Ming's chest on the opposite side.

Xie Ming's expression was suddenly startled, seeing that this absolutely fatal poisonous arrow was infinitely enlarged in front of him, and it was about to penetrate his body, Xie Ming's body quickly fell to the right and immediately drew his sword to resist.

I only heard a crisp sound of "Zheng" between the sword and the arrow, and the arrow was finally blocked.

Of course, this yin and damaged fatal sword did not kill Xie Ming, but although it was blocked, Xie Ming's arm was still injured, and it cut a long hideous hole, and where the flesh was broken, blood flowed.

Seeing this sudden scene, the Praetorian Guards on the opposite side were all stunned.

What's going on?! With so many people present, without anyone noticing, when did Zhou Yun have an extra bow and arrow out of thin air?!

"Quick, protect the Grand Commander!" I don't know who in the Praetorian Guard shouted, but the rest of the people immediately reacted, and immediately drew their swords and stepped forward to protect Xie Ming's mount.

At this time, Xie Ming's face sank, although his arm was injured and blood flowed, not only did he not retreat, but raised his sword and scolded loudly, "What are you protecting me for, what you are protecting is the palace, your majesty!" ”

Everyone woke up and immediately chimed in, "Protect the palace, protect Your Majesty!" ”

Xie Ming raised his sword, "King Qing is plotting rebellion and taking down the traitorous party!" ”

Everyone raised their swords, "King Qing conspired against him and took down the traitorous party!" ”

King Qing squinted his eyes and said word by word, "Today, the Praetorian Guard has rebelled, and His Majesty has also murdered the rest of the Wen Bohou Party, and those who can take Xie Ming's head will be rewarded with a thousand gold; Take the head of the centurion or above, the bounty is ten taels, and so on!! ”

Hearing this, the morale of the soldiers behind King Qing suddenly skyrocketed, and their eyes lit up, and what they saw in front of them at this time was not the upcoming bloody fight for life and death, but the glittering money, the glory and wealth within reach.

Not to mention a thousand gold, it is a gold, which is money that they may not earn in their lifetime.

What could be more alluring in the world than money?

Moreover, this promise, King Qing dared to say it to his soldiers, but Xie Ming did not dare.

So with the greedy gaze of the Shangqing Wangjun like a wolf, the Praetorian Guards suddenly looked at each other.

But they didn't have this to fear, because they were the Praetorian Guards, and none of the entire Dachen army could compare to the Praetorian Guards in the imperial capital.

Also because Xie Ming said with a smile:

"No matter how much money you have, you have to be alive, Lord Qing, are you sure you can live long enough to reward your stupid soldiers?"

The reason why Xie Ming laughed was because at this moment, in his eyes, King Qing or Zhou Yun were already a dead man.

From the moment he suddenly received Emperor Chen's order half an hour ago asking him to lead troops to surround King Qing's Mansion overnight and directly take King Qing, he had already regarded King Qing as a dead man.

Of course, in King Qing's eyes, Xie Ming was already a dead man, he looked sideways at Zhou Yun, "General Zhou, the king is not as good as you when he wields military troops, and now that the palace is here, the king has to rely on you!" ”

It means that there are other people outside the palace, such as King Rong, such as the acting king.

Zhou Yun clenched his fists, "Chen Xing is not dishonored!" ”

Xie Ming shouted, "Kill me!" ”

Zhou Yun swung his sword, "Kill~"

"Kill~" This is the voice of the Praetorian Guard.

"Kill~" This is the voice of King Qingjun.

"Kill ......" It is no longer possible to distinguish whose voice it is.

Under the Suzaku Gate of the Imperial Palace, a bloody battle that was already doomed from the beginning officially began.

The sound of killing was shocking, and the flames were soaring into the sky.

So the entire palace was alarmed, and the people of Jinling were also alarmed.

……

Chen Huang frowned, "Yang Jingde, what's the sound outside, what's going on?!" ”

The sound of chaos outside suddenly arose, and Yang Jingde had been by Chen Huang's side without leaving an inch, of course he didn't know what was going on.

But he knew that something must be wrong!

"The old slave immediately sent someone to ......"

Halfway through the words, a little father-in-law outside suddenly rushed over, and even forgot to salute, "Your Majesty, it's not good, Your Majesty, King Qing and General Zhou, they ...... Rebellion! ”

Yang Jingde was shocked, "You, you...... Say what?! ”

The little father-in-law trembled, "Back to Father-in-law Yang, Prince Qing and General Zhou...... Rebellion! ”

Zhong Jing's brows furrowed suddenly, his eyes were micron, and his fingers were clenched into fists one by one, "Outside, what's going on now?!" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's ...... It was Prince Qing and General Zhou who brought more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the palace, and they happened to meet in front of the Suzaku Gate, the commander of Xie Da, who led the troops out of the palace, and now it is ...... It's already ...... fight."

"Already fighting?"

"Yes!"
