Chapter 275: Before the End
Chapter 275 before the curtain ends
Qin Liuqi's men broke a lot, but they still failed to break into the Prince's East Palace. Yesterday, with the assistance of the people of Cishou Palace, he lurked in the palace with people and waited for today's work. But he never expected that Wu Yiyi would actually hide in the East Palace. He didn't even think about it, Wu Yiyi's cultivation was unfathomable.
He was angry, annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
His cultivation is not low, and Fang Hatshui has no strength to fight back in front of him. But Wu Yiyi was not alone, and behind him there were many inner court guards left by the emperor. These people, like Lijing, did not belong to any yamen, but directly obeyed the emperor's orders. The one who manages these people is Su Buxing.
Qin Liuqi's cultivation is naturally undoubted, otherwise Prince Yi Yang Yin would not have planned to let him be the dean of the Yanwu Academy in the future. However, it can only be said that Prince Yi knows too little about the emperor, and he knows too little about this Chang'an City. Prince Yi thought that he had mastered absolute strength, but how could he know. Only when he becomes an emperor can he inherit many secrets from the previous emperor.
These secrets can only be known by the emperor alone.
Qin Liuqi led his men to rush several times in succession, but he couldn't rush into the Prince's East Palace. Just when he was getting more and more anxious, the palace maid who was a close confidant of the Queen Mother in Cishou Palace came over with a few people.
"How?"
The palace maid frowned and asked Qin Liuqi.
Qin Liuqi was angry, too lazy to answer this somewhat idiotic question. They are still blocked out of the East Palace, where do they need to ask how to do it!
The old palace maid saw that Qin Liuqi's face was ugly, and she didn't ask any more. She looked at the people who stopped at the gate of the East Palace, gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go together, we can't miss it today no matter what." You should know that once the matter fails, it will not only be your prince who will be involved, but also the queen mother! ”
Qin Liuqi said slightly angrily: "It's too early for you to show up now!" ”
The old palace maid said coldly: "I can't care about it so much, the situation outside the palace is obviously not going well, if you don't take down the prince and queen as soon as possible, the prince is only afraid of more luck and less luck." Just now I sent someone to check outside the palace, and the square has been blocked by the army, so I can't get behind at all! ”
Qin Liuqi's face changed, and he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together!" ”
The two men looked at each other, then rushed at the same time.
Wu Yi watched the palace maids appear, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile: "Finally can't sit still?" Just wait for you people from Cishou Palace to show up, otherwise it's really hard to do things too badly! ”
He raised his hand violently and shouted, "Do it!" ”
With his order, a large number of armor soldiers suddenly poured out from all over the palace. These people are very different from ordinary guards and forbidden troops. They were wearing Mingguang armor and holding Da Mo knives, their bodies were strong and burly, and their steps were steady and magnificent. These people strode out from everywhere and soon surrounded Qin Liuqi's people in the middle.
When he saw these people, Qin Liuqi's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Didn't you say that you would leave the palace with the emperor!"
Qin Liuqi asked the old palace maid loudly.
The old palace maid's face was also ugly, she swallowed hard and spat at the mouth and said: "Early in the morning, the emperor sent someone to Cishou Palace to say that he was going to participate in the military ceremony today, so he would not come to greet the queen mother. The queen mother tested the little eunuch and said that the emperor must be well guarded when he travels. The little eunuch said that His Majesty had arranged for the camp to accompany him......"
When she said this, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes: "Is it ...... Could it be that the emperor deliberately let that little eunuch say this?! ”
"Let's go!"
Qin Liuqi shouted loudly, turned around and rushed out.
The hundred and ten remaining of his men also tried to charge outward, but in front of the battalion, they were like the waste of straw labels, and there was no resistance at all. The elite of the camp was selected from all over the country, and the number was only 800, and these people had been secretly trained all year round, and the cooperation between them had reached the point where there were no gaps. Coupled with the fact that these people were already masters, Qin Liuqi's subordinates were simply a rabble compared to them.
The crossbow arrows shot at the soldiers of the service camp could not pierce their Mingguang armor at all. And their Da Mo knife is too heavy and sharp, let alone a person, even a horse and a giant bear can be cut into two pieces with one knife. The Assassins were losing ground and rushing outward, and they were held back by the elite of the Camp they could not afford to provoke. I wanted to retreat, but behind me was the inner court guard led by Wu Yiyi. The front and back were full of iron walls, and soon, the Assassins were slowly crushed into flesh by these two walls.
Even if Qin Liuqi's cultivation was high, he would feel very difficult in the face of the camp that had already been formed. In terms of fighting alone, no matter how elite these soldiers are in the service camp, they are not his opponents, but once the soldiers in the service camp reach more than ten people, it is difficult for martial arts masters to win unless they rely on strong cultivation to fight far away.
If there were only people in the camp, Qin Liuqi would abandon his subordinates, and although it was more difficult to escape by himself, it was not without a glimmer of hope. But he not only has to face the elite of these killing machines, but also Wu Yiyi, who is also a good cultivator.
In less than half an hour, Qin Liuqi's men were surrounded and annihilated by the camp.
At this time, only he and the old palace maid of Cishou Palace were left to hold on back to back. Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, the old palace maid gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "I can't even affect the Queen Mother, as long as I die, the emperor can't do anything to the Queen Mother, Qin Liuqi, what are you going to do." ”
Qin Liuqi's face became more and more pale, without a trace of blood. He was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Today's defeat, there is no power to return to heaven!" ”
After saying this, he raised his hand and slapped it on his forehead!
The old palace maid was the same, her wrist flipped and the long sword swiped into her throat.
At this moment, suddenly two extremely strong internal forces shot out from somewhere, one internal force crashed into the long sword in the old palace maid's hand, and one internal force swung open Qin Liuqi's palm.
I saw that Dean Zhou, who was a little tired, rushed over from a distance, and blocked Qin Liuqi and the old palace maid's suicide with two volleys.
He rushed to the palace from Prince Yi's mansion, obviously tired and even a little uneven in breath. In addition, when he fought with Xiao Yijiu before, he spent a lot of internal strength and was injured, and his cultivation at this time was far worse than usual. can deal with Qin Liuqi and the old palace maid, it is still not difficult.
Zhuo Buyi, who came with Dean Zhou, had a sharp look in his eyes, and the green tendons on his temples on both sides gradually emerged. Under the painting of the ground as a prison, the old palace maid could no longer move. Wu Yi stepped forward and slapped Qin Liuqi down with one palm.
……
……
There are a lot of pedestrians on the street outside Anyuan Houfu, or because it is too far away from Taiji Palace, so the news of the rebellion in the square has not yet arrived, and the vendors on both sides of the street are still joking with each other. Baili Chang'an is too big, and the people here don't know that a bloody storm has begun.
At the corner of the street, Zhang Mad glanced back at his subordinates, and then nodded: "Every group of five people, go in batches, rush in directly outside the gate of An Yuan Hou's Mansion, don't care about the others, find An Yuan Hou and kill them directly." This person is one of the people on the list given by Steward Qin, and there must be no mistakes. Don't care what happens elsewhere, do your own thing, and the prince will not treat you badly! ”
His serpent guards answered, and twenty men went out in four groups.
They spaced a few meters apart from the front and back, trying their best to control the pace of their pace. The Serpent Guards have been secretly training for a long time, and each of them is no stranger to killing. Today, the snake guard's people were dispatched, and Zhang Madness and Mo Xidao led the team separately.
On the list that Zhang Mad obtained, he thought about the order of assassination of the most important people. Although this An Yuanhou is just an old man far away from the court, he is also the identity of the Yang royal family. This person has always opposed Prince Yi's return to the imperial court to take power, and every time he sees the emperor, he has to say something bad about Prince Yi.
Such an old stubbornness, he is old and not short of money, and has no other pursuit than to abide by his loyalty, so it is difficult to buy.
There has never been a shortage of such people in the Yang royal family, and they are only loyal to the current emperor. Maybe it's the choice they have to choose to protect themselves, or maybe it's the paranoia about orthodoxy in their bones. It is difficult for them to accept the rebels as emperors, and even if they are already in the boat, they will be extremely resistant.
Such a person must be killed.
Make an example of what to do.
After waiting for his subordinates to go out, Zhang Mad took a deep breath and walked out of the alley. He pretended to be careless and looked at the stalls on both sides of the street, but his eyes glanced at the men in front of him from time to time. Just when those people were about to arrive at the gate of Anyuan Houfu, a team of greeting relatives suddenly came from across the street, blowing and beating, so lively.
The Serpent Guards avoided one after another, waiting for the procession to pass by. Zhang Qiang also let go of the way, and when he watched the greeting procession pass, his face suddenly changed greatly.
On the ground, twenty corpses were lying.
Just as he was startled, the woman selling vegetables next to him stood up and stabbed him in the back with a dagger. Zhang Crazy was in pain, turned around and knocked the woman away with a palm. The woman spurted a mouthful of blood in mid-air and was lifeless when she landed. Zhang Mad pale and touched the dagger on his waist before bowing his head, and a farmer carrying a burden passed by took out a short knife from his bosom and stabbed him in the back.
Hearing the wind, he turned around and grabbed the farmer's hand, and then smashed the man's face door with a punch, and like the previous woman, the farmer had no cultivation at all.
Insolence began to be afraid, more and more afraid.
A passer-by not far away cried out in fright, trembling at the corpse on the ground. Zhang Madness clutched his back and walked back, blood flowing down his hands like a stream. On the ground, a string of bloody footprints was left behind. Passing by the frightened pedestrian, the man suddenly showed the dagger hidden in the cuff and poked it into the lower abdomen of the man, and the man looked down in a daze, and then raised his hand to crush the man's forehead.
On both sides of the street, there were more than a dozen people selling vegetables, meat, and various goods, and they poked at Zhang Qi with daggers in their hands with a flat face, and Zhang Qi, who had lost too much blood, killed more than ten people in a row, but was stabbed again.
At this moment, the greeting procession that had passed before stopped, and a one-armed man walked out of the sedan chair that was supposed to be sitting on the bride, drawing a knife with the same expressionless face, but unlike those people before, he had cultivation and was not bad. The knife slashed through a slashing trail and sliced the insolent throat.
When he fell, he couldn't help but think, what the hell is this...... What's wrong?
He didn't know that the Ouchi Guard Office had secretly trained a large number of civilians, none of whom had the power to cultivate, but they were all good killers. When Fang Xie was halfway to Chang'an, he met such a person.
