Chapter 8: Movement of the Forbidden Army
Wang Zhishu saw the hexagram in Dong Yun and Sun Lin's hands, and he had seen it in front of the White Tiger Gate. At this moment, his body was full of energy, and when the two approached, he shook suddenly, and the energy burst out, both of them were hit and stood a little unsteadily, Dong Yun turned on one side, bypassed a few qi strengths, and slapped out with one palm, Wang Zhisu waved his sleeves to block, Dong Yun increased his strength in his hands, and barely fought with Wang Zhisu. Sun Lin wanted to come over to help, but several Wang masters had already arrived, and he was a little embarrassed to deal with it, and kept retreating.
Cao Ji's knife was swift, and Mo Buyu and Mo Liu also barely resisted a few moves, and retreated again and again.
Sun Lin, Mo Bu silent, Mo Liu and the three of them resisted for a while, and they all retreated for a while, and they collided together very coincidentally, this was the first time that the three of them joined hands to fight the enemy.
Cao Ji and the masters of the Wang clan surrounded the three of them in the middle, Mo Buyu looked at Sun Lin, Sun Lin smiled slightly, and Mo Liu interjected on the side: "You are still laughing." ”
Sun Lin was quite optimistic and said: "You can't let me cry at this time." ”
When Mo Buyu and Mo Liu heard him say this, they suddenly wanted to laugh. Before he could laugh, Cao Ji played with the big knife, and layers of knives shrouded the three of them. Mo Buyu pushed Sun Lin away, threw out a few sword flowers, and crashed into the sword. Mo Liu jumped high, the short knife flew out with both hands, and the two cooperated tacitly, but Cao Ji relied on his strong strength, frequently swung out the sword, split the sword flower and the short knife, and the sword flew straight to the two, Mo Liu's shoulder was the first to be scratched, after Mo Buyu hit the sword in his hand, it was also painful, and the two were shocked back, Sun Lin hurriedly came up and held it, and at the same time condensed and waved a hexagram, blocking Cao Ji for half a moment.
Cao Ji swung his knife and smashed the hexagram, adjusted his breathing slightly, the knife was even stronger, and his big knife staggered left and right to weave a layer of knife nets, firmly locking the three of them in the middle.
The three of them suddenly felt that their movements were blocked, and from time to time a knife slashed from a strange direction. Sun Lin was in a hurry, and slapped his palm on the granite floor of the main hall, the floor was slightly cracked, and among the cracks, a Xuanmen righteousness suddenly rose up, forming a hexagram shape, and the knife and the hexagram kept colliding, but it was obvious that Cao Ji's knife was sharper, and the hexagram was a little cracked and damaged. Seeing this, Mo Buyu walked quickly to Sun Lin's side, and at the same time, he slapped it with one palm, and a Xun hexagram rose and stacked it on top of the separation hexagram. Sun Lin looked at Mo Buyu, saw that his expression was serious, and urged his strength in his hand again. After the two hexagrams are stacked, they are mutually induced, and the hexagram gradually strengthens, forming a confrontation with the sword.
Cao Ji used nearly eighty percent of his strength in this knife net, he originally thought that he could give these three people a fatal blow, but when he was stopped at this moment, he was furious and waved the big knife wildly. Mo Buyu and Sun Lin tried their best to insist, Mo Liu was behind the two, his double knives were lost, and four sleeve arrows were thrown out of the left and right sleeves, and the sleeve arrows circled behind Cao Ji in a semi-circular arc trajectory. Cao Ji's entire attention was on Sun Lin and Mo Buyu, but at this moment, the Hidden Arrow was coming, and he had already sensed it, and turned back to the side.
Just when Cao Ji returned the knife and wanted to use the big knife to pick up the hidden arrow, a figure flew in front of him suddenly. He shouted in his heart that it was not good, there was no sound when people came, the means must be extraordinary, there were Sun Lin and Mo Buyu behind him, he could only put the knife horizontally. The man clasped his broadsword firmly in the shape of claws, and four sleeve arrows stabbed into his chest in unison. Cao Ji was in pain, and at this moment he also saw clearly that it was the blood-stained father-in-law Zou. Mo Buyu and Mo Liu breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Gonggong Zou, after he repelled several masters of the Wang family, he quickly came, took advantage of the night, approached Cao Ji, and saw the fleeting opportunity, he jumped out without hesitation.
Zou Gonggong used both hands hard, snatched Cao Ji's big knife and threw it on the ground, Cao Ji retreated again and again, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and the masters of the Wang clan around him hurriedly came up and greeted Zou Gonggong. Mo Buyu put away the Xun hexagram and stepped forward quickly, but the city defense army rushed over and surrounded Sun Lin, Mo Buyu, and Mo Liu, and the three of them desperately resisted, and their bodies were once again marked with blood.
In the Fengtian Palace, the most dangerous is Dong Yun, he sacrificed four hexagrams around his body, and after fighting with Wang Zhishu for a few rounds, the hexagram was damaged, he was hit by two palms on his body, there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and his strength was almost exhausted.
Li Xuanzi kept looking at the gate of the Fengtian Palace, and suddenly a lightning bolt broke out, and he vaguely saw some sergeants of the city defense army, walking around, as if they were preparing torches. This may be the only chance, he pulls the Ven Emperor with his left hand, and throws the smoke pill with his right hand. Before the smoke pill landed, it was knocked away by Wang Zhishu with a wave of his sleeve, and it was precisely because of Wang Zhishu's sleeve that the smoke suddenly rose in the Fengtian Palace.
The hall was not bright in the first place, and after the smoke rose, everyone was a little panicked. Cao Ji shouted bitterly: "Don't mess up, don't mess up, watch Emperor Wen." ”
Wang Zhishu was very annoyed, he didn't know what Li Xuanzi threw out, but right now, there was chaos in the hall, and Emperor Wen definitely took the opportunity to escape. Desperate, he rushed in the direction of the temple gate with his senses, and kept shouting, "Block the temple gate quickly." ”
Li Xuanzi grabbed Emperor Wen and indeed fled in the direction of the palace gate. Gu Xujiao, Liu Yanzheng, and Chen Lin were all seriously injured, and they vaguely felt that Emperor Wen had left and was no longer able to follow. Prince Kang and Mu Yuzheng followed Emperor Wen and Li Xuanzi, and the four of them walked quickly to the gate of the palace. But Wang Zhishu's voice was getting closer and closer, and it seemed to be in front of him. Li Xuanzi took out a few pieces of rune paper from his arms, threw them out in the direction of the sound, and then grabbed Emperor Wen, quickly took a few steps back, and fell to the ground. The rune paper hovered in the air for a moment, and suddenly exploded. The wails of many sergeants rang out nearby. Li Xuanzi hurriedly pulled up Emperor Wen, and the two ran to the palace gate desperately. Just when he left the palace gate, he saw Wang Zhishu appear in front of him like a god of death, and saw that he had several scars on his body, and his eyes were full of fierce light.
Emperor Wen and Li Xuanzi were shocked, but they could not avoid it. Wang Zhishu slashed at Emperor Wen's door with one hand, and Emperor Wen was so desperate that he closed his eyes. This palm will hit Emperor Wen, and suddenly a bloody hand stretched out from behind him, firmly holding Wang Zhishu's palm, Emperor Wen was hit hard by someone at the same time, and fell to the side, Li Xuanzi hurriedly went over to help him up. The two got up and saw that Gonggong Zou and Wang Zhishu were fighting together, Gonggong Zou was obviously at the end of his crossbow, he didn't care about his life and death, and he made a move to fight for his life, just to delay. Behind Emperor Wen, Mu Yuzheng, Prince Kang and several sergeants also hurried over, and Gonggong Zou took advantage of the gap and shouted: "Hurry up!" Emperor Wen and the others did not hesitate and left quickly. Wang Zhishu wanted to catch up, but Zou Gonggong suddenly burst out with red energy, blood oozed from his arms, and the power of his move was several times faster than before, and Wang Zhishu was difficult to get rid of for a while.
The sergeants desperately slashed and killed the city defense troops outside the palace, but they were outnumbered, and many sergeants were cut again. At this time, Dong Yun also rushed out of the hall, he picked up a big knife casually, and slashed and killed. Sun Lin, Mo Buyu, and Mo Liu also rushed out later, and after the three of them joined, the city defense army gradually became a little unable to resist, and a gap was gradually opened. Dong Yun protected Emperor Wen and the others, and desperately rushed out from the direction of the gap.
There is chaos in the palace today, and it is pitch black at the moment, and everyone is running desperately, and they can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest. After running for a while, Emperor Wen found that only Li Xuanzi, Dong Yun, Mo Buyu, Mo Liu, and a strange young man were left around him. The six of them sat down on the ground and rested for a moment. Suddenly, he heard the sound of rebels chasing after him, so he had no choice but to get up again and run in the opposite direction of the sound.
In the forbidden army camp outside the palace, Yang Wuxu received a letter from Wang Zhishu to him through his staff last night, inviting him to start an incident together, promising to be a high-ranking official afterwards. Yang Wuxu seemed to have expected it, he didn't accept it immediately, but just replied to the palace staff: "He will act when he sees the opportunity." This sentence made Wang Zhisu think for a long time, and guessed that Yang Wuxu was going to observe the situation before sending troops. In this way, it can also be simply understood that Yang Wuxu is not partial to that side, and the forbidden army chose neutrality in the early stage, so the military strength of his side is enough to defeat Emperor Wen and others, so Wang Zhishu is full of confidence in today's mutiny.
Mo Pu came to the forbidden army camp after noon, he tried his best to speak, but Yang Wuxu didn't say a word. Mo Puzhi was very angry, but helpless, when he heard that the sergeants were coming to report that the city defense army was attacking Xuanwu Gate, he immediately wanted to leave. At this time, Yang Wuxu suddenly attacked, and let the sergeants detain Mo Puzhi. Mo Puzhi scolded Yang Wuxu for being a traitor, and Yang Wuxu was upset when he heard it, so he asked the sergeants to take him down and lock him in the camp tent. About an hour later, Mama Li in the Empress Dowager's palace suddenly came to the forbidden military camp, Mama Li gave a few simple orders, and Yang Wuxu promised them one by one. Let one of the lieutenants lead a team of sergeants to the Sixth Division, and the other lieutenant will take Mo Puzhi and a thousand forbidden troops straight to the mansion of the Wang family. He and Mama Li led the army to Xuanwu Gate. When he was about to arrive at Xuanwu Gate, Yang Wuxu divided his troops again, and a team of sergeants was led by his confidant Bai Zan to go to Qinglongmen to enter the palace.
Xiao Cheng, the commander of the inner guards, chased Mama Li to the vicinity of the forbidden army tent, and saw her enter the camp tent, Xiao Cheng did not know the position of the forbidden army at the moment, so he did not dare to rush in, and waited outside the camp tent for a while, and when he saw the movement of the forbidden army, he did not think too much about it, and hurried back to the palace.
A part of the city defense army was stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate, but Yang Wuxu didn't say a word, let the forbidden army shoot a bow and crossbow and rush up. The two armies were entangled for a while, due to the large number of forbidden troops, most of the city defense army was in the palace, and the Xuanwu Gate was immediately captured by the forbidden army. After Yang Wuxu stationed a group of forbidden troops at the Xuanwu Gate, he ordered the rest of the troops to rush into the palace.
Emperor Wen was nowhere to be found, and the city defense army tied Gu Xutang and Liu Yanzheng in the palace, and ordered the city defense army and the Wang rebels to search and arrest the palace. Wang Zhishu and the injured Cao Ji stood together, and the two were silent, so they could only wait silently.
Before waiting for the news of Emperor Wen, several city defense soldiers hurriedly came to report that the forbidden army entered from Xuanwu Gate. When Wang Zhishu heard the news, his heart was cold, and he scolded Yang Wuxu fiercely. Cao Ji knew that the forbidden army entered the palace, once they met Emperor Wen, then the situation would be reversed, he raised his knife and called a team of sergeants, quickly left the Fengtian Palace, and went to search for Emperor Wen's whereabouts.
