Chapter 687 Bloodstained Long Street

Behind the fame, every general who has won a hundred battles has a discernment and careful planning that outsiders cannot understand. The so-called "know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles"! Only before launching, clearly know the power ratio between yourself and the enemy, and then you can have a certain chance of winning.

The crown prince Liu Ju never personally commanded a war. Although he had been on the battlefield before, the experience of being surrounded by hosts and only having time to share the joy of a great victory did not help his subconscious understanding of war.

And not only that, he once felt those invincible spirits in the Han army, which made him mistakenly think that he could completely replicate this kind of victory. It is precisely because of this cognition that he does not really attach importance to the opponent of Xiuyiwei.

The prince's army and guards add up to nearly 500 people, these young people with strong blood have always been loyal to the prince, relying on their strength, to catch a few rebels in Chang'an City, it is not a matter of being able to catch them!

However, he never expected that in this small embroidered guard, someone had already set a trap, opened his iron fangs, and waited for a long time.

When the brutal killing began to unfold from the innermost, the crown prince Liu Ju had actually just walked into the gate and had not yet stepped down the steps. Almost caught off guard, the lanterns and torches were as bright as day, and the ambushes were everywhere, and the killing machine was broken!

The prince, who was under the strict protection of nearly 100 East Palace guards, was momentarily confused, thinking that what he saw in front of him was not true. In the vicinity of Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, someone dared to take the initiative to launch an attack on the Taigong pro-army, and as soon as he made a move, he was killed with iron blood? It's so rampant, it's just madness!

A moment later, however, he came to his senses. The crossbow arrows that were as fast as locusts, the screams, the screams, and the blood flowers, and the young lives that fell in pieces...... All this reminds him that what he sees is extremely real!

"Prince! Hurry up and retreat...... Walk! ”

The situation is urgent and cannot be thought about. Seeing that the situation was not good, the guards did not care about the prince's stiff body, they protected him in the center, turned and ran out of the gate. In just a few zhang distance, you can take a step on weekdays, but at this time, it has become a cliff separating life and death!

Crossbow arrows fired from three directions behind him, there is almost no place to dodge. Trying to cover it with a sword is simply futile. Regardless of life and death, the guards desperately used their bodies to block the deadliest cold front, wanting to get a glimmer of life for His Royal Highness the Prince.

The tremendous lethality of the nine-armed chain crossbow was brought into full play in this relatively narrow space. Wielding a sword while blocking and retreating, he was shot by a crossbow arrow and gradually fell to the ground and died. Finally, a powerful arrow passed through the crowd and shot straight into the back of the prince's heart, killing and chasing the soul, only to ...... in an instant!

And just a quarter of an hour ago, when the prince's army was just approaching the Vermilion Bird Gate, in the Yanbo Hall of Kunming Lake in the depths of the palace forbidden, Su Wen, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, and Shi Yanzhu, the attendant of the Imperial Palace, led Han Yue, the Marquis of Andao, who rushed back urgently, to report to the emperor the abnormal situation in the palace.

Although he still has some mobility problems, he can already walk with a cane. The emperor retreated, and Xu Shi, the chief eunuch who hurriedly came over and wanted to bow down to support, began to faintly show anger on his expressionless face.

"So, these things ...... They were all found in the womb?"

"Your Majesty, these things of unknown origin were obtained by Wei Chen and the commander of the embroidered guard, Master Jiang Chong, from inside and outside the palace of the prince of Bowangyuan...... There is no falsehood in this matter, please Your Majesty to investigate. ”

An Daohou Han Yue's face was a little pale, he was injured and vomited blood at the gate of the imperial palace, he originally needed to recuperate, but in order to take revenge, he gritted his teeth and insisted on coming to the emperor to speak.

Emperor Liu Che didn't speak immediately, he sat back on the imperial couch, most of his face was hidden in the shadow of the palace lamp, not knowing what he was thinking. Several confidants stood with their hands down and didn't dare to move, but their eyes secretly looked at the Nebula Master standing not far away.

"These things...... What does Nebula Master think? ”

After a long silence, the emperor's voice was a little dull, but it was full of majesty. All of them moved and exchanged glances with each other, and they had already heard something unusual in them.

"Your Majesty, these wooden figures, puppets and the like are originally ominous things, if they are used to be entrusted with some non-dividing thoughts...... This is the origin of the source of bewitchment in the palace! ”

Xingyunzi, who had already adapted to his identity, became more and more immortal, and he casually took the search items entrusted by the chamberlain and looked at them a few times, and then made a positive conclusion in a flat tone.

"Humph! What a disappointment for me...... The dignified prince of the Han Dynasty, what is not satisfied? I don't know what I want to do with this mess! Also, isn't Jianzhang Palace also clean? ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the Embroidered Clothes Guard and the Yulin Army did find a lot of ...... from Empress Jianzhang Palace Wei a little earlier."

Before Han Yue's words could be finished, he was interrupted by the emperor's wave of his hand. Hearing that the imperial case was knocked heavily by a jade Ruyi, everyone shrunk their necks and didn't dare to say anything more.

The emperor's face was ugly, although several close ministers lowered their heads, but they were all people who watched and listened to all directions, and they had already peeked clearly.

The palace fell silent for a long time. There is a wind blowing, the palace lights on Kunming Lake are swaying, and it seems that there are many noisy sounds faintly coming from a distance, although it is not really heard, but this is by no means the sound of Chang'an's night scene is prosperous.

"What happened?"

The emperor seemed to wake up from his slumber, temporarily suppressed many hesitations and doubts in his heart, and asked loudly. The chief eunuch Xu Shi had already gone out to inquire about the situation in person. And Su Wen, Yan Zhu, and Han Yue glanced at each other, and then replied respectfully in a tentative tone.

"Your Majesty, there was a murderous aura in this voice...... It seems to have come from the Suzaku Gate. ”

Hearing his guess, the Emperor frowned. In this peaceful and prosperous era that he has carried forward with his own hands, the last thing he wants to see is some unknown riot, no matter what the reason is, it is the most serious provocation to the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

"Master Nebula, can you predict the good luck and the bad in this?"

The person who was waiting to inquire about the news had not yet come to report, and the emperor was a little impatient in his heart, so he glanced at Xingyunzi, who was standing safely, and asked casually.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the west wind rises at night, and the Lord is confused and killed. I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster in Chang'an City...... Your Majesty, wait a moment, you should get the exact news soon. ”

Before Xingyunzi could finish speaking, the chief eunuch Xu Shi had already hurried in with a few guards, and sure enough, he brought a shocking news.

"Your Majesty, it's not good! There had just been a fierce battle near Suzaku Gate...... It is said to be ...... It is said to be ....... ”

Xu Shi's tone was a little sluggish. He looked up at the emperor's face, not knowing whether to tell the truth directly.

"What is it supposedly? Bastard thing! Can't even speak? ”

The chief eunuch was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground, not daring to delay any longer. The speech is much clearer now.

"Your Majesty, the guards came to report, the Suzaku Gate soldiers rose, and there were rumors in the market that the prince led the pro-army to attack and kill the embroidered guards, intending to make trouble!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Yanbo Palace, except for the emperor who was high above, all knelt down, leaned on the ground, and did not dare to come out.

"What do you say? Prince...... He revolted?! Is this true? If there is half a vain, it should be broken! ”

"Your Majesty! This matter is absolutely true, and many people in Chang'an City who have seen it with their own eyes are shouting that the prince is rebelling...... How dare the old slave say a word! ”

"How unreasonable! I was really too forgiving in the past...... Unfilial son! Someone comes, and I will ...... will! ”

Long Yan was furious, and he was cold against the water. The night of Chang'an finally made inevitable waves.

Liu Ju, the crown prince who angered the emperor, was very embarrassed at the moment. He didn't understand why the streets and alleys that were originally empty and deserted were now full of voices shouting "the prince rebelled".

"Xiao Lie! How's your injury? ”

There were only a few guards left around. The prince held back his physical and mental grief, poked his head out of the carriage, and anxiously asked the young man in white who was silently urging the horse to gallop in front of him.

In fact, he didn't need to ask, and he knew that Park Yongyeol was seriously injured. When he escaped from the embroidered guard just now, if Park Yongyeol hadn't immediately used his sword to block the crossbow arrow with fierce killing intent, I'm afraid he would have died by now.

Even so, the situation at that time was still a matter of moments. Because as that arrow missed, hundreds of arrows followed!

Park Yongyeol, who was unsheathed by the sword, did not hesitate at all, and at the moment of life and death, he was not allowed to retreat for half a point. The sword light turned into electric light, blocking the rain of arrows shot from the middle and rear, and then stretched out his hand and pushed the prince's body out of the gate, and Dantian shouted.

"Protect the prince, go quickly!"

Seven or eight guards moved quickly, stuffed the prince into the carriage, turned the horse's head, and whipped it vigorously, and were about to go first. The crown prince Liu Ju turned his head suddenly, but he saw that the white-clothed young man who had been hit by several crossbow arrows was finally jumping out of the embroidered guard. The white clothes are red and bloody, and the firelight is particularly vivid.

From the surprise attack into the embroidered guards, to the ambush soldiers began to appear, and now to the rush on the street, it is only half an hour. Everything that happened in such a short period of time was like a nightmare in the heart of the crown prince Liu Ju churning violently.

Hundreds of pro-soldiers and guards were trapped in the ambush of the embroidered guards, either dead or wounded, and they were all lucky. On the wide street, the fog was hazy, and the crown prince Liu Ju was firmly staring at the back of Park Yongyeol who was driving forward, and the entire back of the white clothes had been stained red with blood. His tears could no longer hold on, and finally flowed out.

However, their doom is far from over. Tonight is destined to defeat thousands of enemies, and the blood-stained long street ......!
