Prince Liu Ju's mood is extremely complicated now. He didn't know whether he should stay in Weiyang Palace or follow Sima Xiangru's advice and leave Chang'an City.

"Mother, father, he ...... What the hell are we going to do?! ”

There is already a lot of vegetarian in the Weiyang Palace. Most of the palaces knew the news, and faint cries came from all directions. The fate of many, many people will change with the death of the emperor. Empress Wei sat calmly in the Jianzhang Palace where she lived, and when she saw her son's helplessness, she hid endless sadness between her eyebrows.

"Ju'er, listen to Dr. Sima and their words, let's leave Chang'an first. Perhaps, that's the best option. ”

Empress Wei personally put on the crown prince and made a decision for him. Regardless of whether the emperor's edict was true or not, she did not want her son to be in danger.

"But...... Queen mother! Erchen is gone, what should you do? ”

The crown prince Liu Ju very much hopes that the queen can leave with him. However, Empress Wei shook her head and smiled sadly. It's simply impossible. She is the queen of the Han Dynasty, even if the Chang'an chaos and the palace collapses, she can't leave this palace. Perhaps there is only one way to leave, and that is the Imperial Tomb ...... that leads to death.

"The queen of the Han Dynasty can only die in the Weiyang Palace. Ju'er, don't worry about the queen mother, the first emperor has just left, and there will be nothing in the palace. As long as you can all be okay outside, I'll be relieved. ”

Empress Wei's face was very calm. Princess Yunxi has been accompanying her sister in Changle Houfu for a period of time, and she is not in the palace. After the crown prince left, she would close the gate of Jianzhang Palace and wait for the arrival of the emperor's coffin with peace of mind. As for the future, that's just the fate it should have, and it's useless to think about it now.

"Queen Mother, the father's coffin has not yet returned, and the sons and sons have run away, in the eyes of the world, isn't it a great unfilial piety?"

Liu Ju was eager to find a reason to stay. He understood that the queen mother's words were just to deceive himself and rest assured, and his heart was heartbroken when he thought of the queen's lonely encounter with the difficult situation that was coming. The queen's attitude was unusually resolute, she glanced at her son, who was kneeling in front of the steps, and after saying only one last sentence, she ordered the maid to close the palace gate.

"Ju'er, you have to remember that you can only talk about filial piety if you save your life. Chang'an is undecided, never come back! ”

The tall laurel tree in the courtyard of Jianzhang Palace finally lost its last petals. The tearful prince Liu Ju kowtowed several times in the debris on the ground, got up and walked out. Outside, the armor is ready, and the loyal supporters are ready for anything.

"Let's go, get out of town!"

The prince's six armies were guarded, and Sima Xiangru, who re-wore the armor of the Zhonglang general, was personally commanded. This former famous and well-known man drew his famous sword "Yuxue" and urged the horse to set foot on Suzaku Street. And Park Yongyeol, who was dressed in white, followed closely by the prince's side, close protection, and went straight to the direction of the city gate.

The autumn wind rises, and there are few pedestrians on the streets. The news of His Majesty's death had spread throughout Chang'an City in the shortest possible time. Even ordinary people have realized that the stability that has existed for many years is likely to be broken. At this stall, no one is going to come out and cause trouble. In particular, many people who witnessed the beginning and end of the incident in the Hanyuan Hall yesterday ordered their subordinates to close the door of the mansion tightly, secretly speculating on possible accidents.

The sound of horses' hooves beating against the streets, in this solemn atmosphere, seemed particularly stagnant. There are not many princes and six guards, and the total number of people is only a few hundred. If you are serious, these young guards do not have too strong combat effectiveness, but they play more roles as honor guards on weekdays.

The empty streets have caused unease in the hearts of many people. They just relied on their enthusiasm to protect the prince's safety. However, they all know that what is about to start may be a very unusual journey. Soon after, at the end of Suzaku Street, you can already see the direction of the South Castle Gate. However, the man in the armor strangled the horse. A haze obscured his eyes, and the light of the sword made his heart chill.

The dense cavalry procession, with an undisguised murderous aura, blocked the direction leading to the city gate. The cavalry general led by him had a sneer in his eyes, and had been waiting here for a long time.

"Stop! No, it doesn't work here. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going out of the city, get out of the way!"

"The last general is ordered by the Lord Shangshu to guard this gate. Chang'an has been under martial law from now on, and no one is allowed to leave the city, let alone move rashly. I advise you to hurry up and go back from where you came! ”

Sima Xiangru was secretly surprised, he didn't expect the other party to act so quickly, and he really mobilized the garrison of the large battalion outside the city to enter Chang'an. It seems that it has been planned a long time ago, that is, to trap the prince in the city and be forced to accept the fate of the future.

"You dare to obey the chaotic order and enter Chang'an City without authorization! It's so audacious, don't hurry up and give way! ”

However, hearing his reprimand, the general on the opposite side was not moved at all, and waved his hand to get the cavalry ready for battle. Then, a person turned out of his side, and glanced at this side with pity, unable to hide the smugness on his face.

"Sima Xiangru, can't you still see the situation clearly? If you want to help the prince escape today, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky! The new monarch is coming soon, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to go out of the city at this moment, doesn't he want to lead you and others to plot against you? Don't forget, the Anguo Marquis Mansion is involved in the rebellion, and the official hasn't found out yet! Hum! ”

Sima Xiangru raised his eyebrows obliquely, and the long sword slashed across his chest. He had long recognized the guy who jumped out as the Lantian County Commander who acted as a pawn for Liu Quyak. But I don't know why I came here again to make trouble. However, there is no time to think about it now, and how to find a way out of the city is the most important thing.

"Your Highness, it seems that Liu Quyak has been prepared. If something doesn't work, we'll have to force our way out. ”

He turned around and whispered a few words to the crown prince Liu Ju. Obviously, since the other party has mobilized troops to guard the city gate, the target must be the prince. In this case, staying in the city will definitely not end well. Forcibly rushing out is the last resort.

The crown prince Liu Ju nodded. Now, there is no turning back. He was not willing to remain in the city at the mercy of others, and if a cage had been set up for him, he would rather die than be killed.

"I only hate this little Lantian County Order, first bullying Sister A's mansion, and then coming here to block my way, it's really hateful! If he has another chance one day, he will definitely take this person's life to relieve the hatred in his heart. ”

The crown prince Liu Ju gritted his teeth and his face was angry. only hated that he didn't have the ability of Yuan Zhao, otherwise, he would really kill people on the spot. However, this wish is naturally understood by someone and will help him achieve it. As soon as the words fell, the sword flashed, and someone responded proudly.

"What's so difficult about this, and look at me to punish this Xiaoxiao and deter thousands of riders!"

In front of everyone's eyes, they saw the white-clothed figure leap up from the horse, and in a few ups and downs, they had already reached the front of the cavalry more than a dozen feet away. The cavalry general who led the troops was also a figure who had been in the battle formation, and he suddenly felt awe-inspiring, and before anyone arrived, he was murderous! He couldn't help but be taken aback, shouting "be careful" while carrying a knife and riding a horse to save people.

However, even if he was alert in time, it was to no avail. In front of this increasingly sophisticated Xuandao, under the blow of all his strength, there are few people in the world who can escape.

Jingxing, who suddenly stepped on Qingyun Road from the identity of Lantian County, in his cognitive world, conspiracy and planning is the most powerful means. Whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, as long as the ultimate goal can be achieved, it is the best of the best. However, he may never have thought that in the eyes of a true hero, all this scheming is in vain! There is only one way for them to dominate!

Although the sword is short, it is extremely murderous. The nephew of Shang Shuling, who was the emperor, died very simply, and probably did not even feel a trace of pain. With a knife on his head, he flew into the air, and the blood in his neck spurted Lao Gao, splashing the face of the general who rushed to the rescue, and the army exclaimed!

"Kill him!"

The cavalry general reached out and wiped the blood from his face, shocked and angry. He knew that the identity of this newly appointed city patrol imperial historian was not simple, but he was an upstart in the court. Now he was beheaded under his nose, although he was frightened by the other party's strength, but he also knew that the consequences were serious, and shouted that his subordinates were surrounded and killed.

Park Yongyeol did not retreat after the killing, since the crown prince Liu Ju had decided to rush out of the city, then he was willing to be a pioneer and do his best. Then there was a soft roar in his mouth, the knife rolled up the leaves, and the white clothes were like snow, killing the people and horses who rushed over several times, and he was ruthless. Almost in an instant, it was a killing battleground.

"Protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Fight me out of the South Gate! ”

Seeing this, Sima Xiangru was in high spirits, waved the long sword in his hand, and took the lead in rushing forward to support Park Yongyeol. Dozens of guards protected the prince's war horse and followed behind the pro-army, not leaving for half a step. The two armies hedged, the swords flew wildly, the war horses neighed, and the blood of the Han soldiers flowed on their own land, and the battle of Chang'an began.

The war that occurred near the south gate of Suzaku Street was reported to Liu Quyak, who was paying close attention to the prince's movements, as soon as possible. He couldn't help but be angry and happy at the same time. Anger, naturally, the nephew he wanted to cultivate lost his life so easily. But what made him happy in his heart was that the crown prince Liu Ju did not live up to his layout for so long, and he was finally angered and embarked on a dead end. In this way, no matter what the outcome is, he will never have a chance to return to Weiyang Palace again.

"The order went down, closed the nine gates of Chang'an, and all the defenders were dispatched...... In addition, he told the subjects of the whole city that the prince rebelled, and everyone was punished! ”

The wind and clouds are thunderous, and the tide is furious. The 50,000 or 60,000 horses of the southern and northern battalions that had been arranged in the city in one step earlier began to encircle, rob and kill the prince's army from different directions. Flying patrols all over the streets and alleys are constantly coming and going. The gong sounded in unison.

"The prince rebelled...... Kill those who see it! ”
