In Kyoto Castle, all the major mansions are reciting the miracles of the appearance of the Celestial Master's Hall. Dali Temple Qing Fan Cheng drank stuffy wine, the miracle was what he 'saw with his own eyes', and Fan Cheng believed that His Royal Highness Delong was the true son of heaven.

Fan Cheng put down his wine glass, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind.

"Someone, inform Steward Liu, lead the twenty guards in the mansion, go to the Heavenly Master Hall immediately, and listen to Duan Lang's dispatch later."

Fan Cheng knew that he was not very capable, but he still decided to support the Seventh Prince Delong. Whether these people are useful or not, at least they can reassure themselves. He was not afraid of making trouble after the ban, after all, Prince Hong sat on the throne of regent, and on the surface, Yu Ban did not dare to purge them, the important ministers of the court.

The mansion of Pang Gang, the servant of the Criminal Department, the Lord of the Criminal Department also hesitated again and again, and finally decided to let the Criminal Department arrest Duan Lang and the others. Because as soon as the gates of the four cities of Kyoto fell, Pang Gang suddenly understood that there would be a bloody battle tonight. It is even said that this is related to the entire Great Xia.

The courtiers of Kyoto were hesitant to make their choice. Many mansions have sent their own nursing homes. Although the number of each mansion is small, it trickles into a stream, and eventually converges into a river. In the Heavenly Master Hall, there were two or three hundred more support personnel at once. In doing so, they are also showing DeLong another attitude of support. In the event that Delong sits on the throne in the future, today's move will be a huge political capital.

In the Heavenly Master Palace, Duan Lang looked at the guards sent by the various prefectures in surprise, and even the officials in the yamen. Unexpectedly, at such a time of crisis, they would dare to openly dedicate a little bit of strength in the house.

Duan Lang clenched his hands into fists, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have thanked you and the lords of the prefectures for His Royal Highness Delong. If His Highness ascends the throne one day, he will not forget your kindness to help tonight. ”

"General Duan doesn't have to be polite, if you have anything, you can tell me." Everyone said.

Duan Lang nodded with satisfaction, although these two or three hundred people are not very many, but the momentum is not small.

In the front yard of the Heavenly Master Palace, everyone was assembled, and under the dim light and candles, Prince Delong, dressed in gorgeous clothes, hurriedly got into the car. Zhang Ruming waved his hand to everyone under the car, and then got into the car. Before going to the court today, Duan Lang arranged for someone to send Azhu out of the city, even if he opened a killing ring, he didn't have any worries.

Duan Lang rode on the horse with a Xuantie spear in his hand, and eighteen guards behind him protected the chariot. Duan Lang glanced at the people behind him and shouted loudly.

"Open the gate and go!"

The two heavy doors of the Heavenly Master Hall slowly opened, but outside the gate, they were already surrounded by the minions of the Prime Minister's Mansion holding various blades.

A middle-aged man looked at Duan Lang with a spear in his hand, "Duan Lang, there is a curfew in Kyoto, do you still want to leave?" ”

Duan Lang showed a sneer, turned back to the car and asked, "Old man, are you afraid?" ”

Zhang Ruming simply stood outside the car and said arrogantly, "I am not afraid of thousands of troops in the face of the enemy, let alone these small nights." Brothers, kill it. ”

"Good! Kill me! ”

After Duan Lang finished speaking, he clamped the war horse between his legs, and rushed out first with a Xuantie gun in his hand. Immediately after, hundreds of people behind him shouted loudly, and rushed to the gate with swords in hand. Xiang Tiangu Fan and the others were protecting the car and did not dare to leave a single step.

Outside the Heavenly Master Hall, the people on both sides suddenly scuffled together. Don't look at the large number of people on the other side, in the face of elites like Duan Lang and the eighteen guards, a gap was quickly created, and Duan Lang quickly ran towards the north city gate with the chariot.

"Don't let Delong run away, chase me~!"

The middle-aged man led the crowd and chased in the direction of the car while fighting. In less than half a pillar of incense, outside the Heavenly Master Hall where the killing sound shook the sky just now, it suddenly became silent.

In a few houses in the backyard of the Heavenly Master Palace, a Taoist figure quickly flashed. As soon as Zhou Guangji and Han Feng appeared, the two glanced at each other, and Han Feng quickly rushed out of the Heavenly Master Hall with several refined black-clothed people. After a while, Han Feng returned to Zhou Guangji's side.

"Third brother, you can go, a few of the eyeliner left behind have been pulled out."

Zhou Guangji nodded and turned to one side, "Your Highness, please." ”

Prince Delong, dressed as a civilian, walked out of the room wearing a hat. What Duan Lang took away just now was a stand-in, while the real Delong had been left in the backyard. Duan Lang knew that tonight would be a bloody battle, so he arranged a puzzle with Zhou Guangji Delong and others in advance. Originally, Duan Lang was worried that he had a small number of people and would not be able to attract people. But then the mansions sent personnel to make the plan even more perfect.

The Seventh Prince, Delong, did not take a chariot, but followed everyone into an alley not far from the Heavenly Master Palace. Zhou Guangji had already arranged a courtyard here in advance, in which more than thirty war horses were bolted.

Everyone got on the war horses, and Zhou Guangji asked in a low voice, "Your Royal Highness Delong, can you ensure that the imperial history is correct?" If you're worried about change, we're all there for it. ”

The Seventh Prince Delong hugged his fists, "Senior Zhou, Lord Wu's character is still trustworthy. Besides, in order to attract attention, Duan Lang will definitely be besieged by the army. Without Kure-sama's help, it would have been difficult for them to escape from Kyoto. ”

Zhou Guangji nodded, "I'm not worried about Duan Lang, it's just that Shangguan Xuanwu is following, I'm afraid they will be a little troublesome." In that case, let's go and meet Master Wu first. ”

Zhou Guangji, Han Feng and others, protecting the Seventh Prince Delong, took the trail and ran to the meeting place agreed with Wu Guangguang. At this time in Kyoto, Duan Lang led everyone to howl all the way and retreat while fighting. But the direction of their evacuation was exactly the opposite of Zhou Guangji and others.

On both sides of Kyoto's main streets, all businesses closed their doors and turned off their lights. Listening to the shouts and killings outside, no one dared to come out to check. In the midst of the chase, the soldiers and horses of the patrol battalion also joined the battle. Xiangguo Yu forbade a high-priced reward, and everyone wanted to cut off a head and go back to receive the reward.

Zhang Ruming stood on top of the car, holding a token in his hand, and scolded angrily.

"You eight calves, do you want to rebel, His Royal Highness Delong, the seventh prince, is in the car, if anyone frightens His Highness, he will punish your nine clans."

It's okay if he doesn't shout, and after shouting, those people in the rivers and lakes who are raised by the Prime Minister howl and rush over one by one.

Duan Lang opened the way in front and chased the guardians of Tiangu Fan and the others. Originally, Zhou Guangji left more than 30 people for Duan Lang, plus two or three hundred people sent by the major mansions, and it was difficult for the minions of the Prime Minister's Mansion to get close to Zhang Ruming's car for a while.

Duan Lang went around the north gate to the south gate along the avenue, don't look at the earth-shattering sound of killing along the way, but Duan Lang understood that the real master had not yet appeared. The combat effectiveness of these personnel sent by the Prime Minister is not very strong. Especially in this kind of group battle, those people in the rivers and lakes are very uncomfortable, but Xiang Tiangufan and these people cooperate tacitly, and the other party who kills them is a little frightened. Don't look at these people as minions raised by the Prime Minister's house, but no one really wants to put their lives into it. Some people shouted loudly, just to play a few tricks on the periphery. On the contrary, the personnel sent by various prefectures fought hard for their lives.

At this time, not far from the west city wall, there was a carriage and horse shop in the courtyard. An elite group of about 2,000 men and horses were ready to fight, and these people were armed with swords and shields, and they all looked solemn.

Du Yushi Wu Guangguang put his hands behind his back, frowning and waiting for the arrival of the Seventh Prince Delong. This team is the vine armor guard in the Royal Forest Army, and it is also the biggest hole card in Wu Guangguang's hand. This team was originally reserved for the eldest prince Deguang, but now, they have to fight for the seventh prince Delong.

"My lord, they've arrived!" One of the standard commanders stepped forward and whispered.

"Open the door."

Wu Guangguang commanded, the gate of the courtyard opened, and Han Feng walked in cautiously. Seeing that there were so many soldiers and horses hidden in the courtyard, Han Feng couldn't help but be stunned.

Wu Guangguang walked over, "Is the Seventh Highness here?" ”

Han Feng looked at Wu Guangguang, since he dared to approach him, Han Feng knew that the other party had no hostile intentions, otherwise he would be able to kill the head of this clerk pavilion elder with one sword.

"Lord Wu, don't come unharmed." Han Feng said with his fists clenched.

Wu Guangguang was stunned, after so many years, he didn't recognize the person in front of him at once, it was the shadow ghost guard back then.

"You are?"

"Hehe, adults and nobles forget things. It's no wonder that Zai Xia is just an inconspicuous old servant. His Royal Highness is just outside the door, Lord Wu waits. ”

Han Feng knew that Wu Guangguang might not remember him, after all, most of the shadow artists acted in secret back then, and occasionally met once or twice in the Duan Mansion, and the other party would not deliberately remember a subordinate in the Duan Mansion.

The Seventh Prince, accompanied by Zhou Guangji and others, walked into the courtyard, and when he saw Wu Guangguang, Delong hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed, "Lord Wu, tonight is very dangerous, you shouldn't come in person." ”

"Your Highness, if you can't get out of the city safely, how can the old man feel at ease even if he sits in the mansion. Let's not talk too much about it, let's hurry up. ”

"Lord Wu, after we leave the city, Duan Lang will still hope that Lord Wu will help." DeLong said.

Wu Guangguang nodded, "Your Highness, rest assured, only if you and General Duan all evacuate Kyoto safely, he will not dare to act rashly." After you leave, I will send someone to the predetermined location to stop those pursuers, and cooperate with General Duan and the others to evacuate. ”

Delong nodded gratefully, "Lord Wu, on the day of his victory with his troops, let's raise a glass again." ”

"Good! Your Highness, take care. Come, protect the palace and go down to the city wall. ”

As soon as he was instructed, the rattan armor guard waved his hand in unison, and quickly ran out of the door with two thousand rattan armor guards. These people are all foot soldiers, but they are not small in the city.

In Kyoto City, Duan Lang was still running away and fighting in circles. As more and more people joined the patrol guards, Duan Lang also felt pressure. He didn't know what the situation was on Zhou Guangji's side, so he could only grit his teeth and insist on dealing with the other party. Duan Lang knew that the more people he attracted, the smoother the evacuation of Prince Delong's side would be.

At that moment, a rocket soared into the sky. In the darkness of the night, the fiery serpent was unusually bright. Duan Lang's heart was suddenly relieved, he knew that this was a signal for Delong and them to evacuate from the city safely. And less than three miles outside the city, Zhou Long had already led a large army to wait for the response. As long as he can get down the city wall, Duan Lang doesn't have to worry about Delong's safety.

"Brothers, evacuate west~!" Duan Lang shouted, and Xiang Tiangu Fan immediately turned the head of the car and ran in the direction of the West City Gate.

Duan Lang ran all the way down the avenue, and saw that he had reached the agreed place that the Seven Princes said. Duan Lang turned to the right and entered another street. Less than two arrows ahead, the vine guards on the road lined up with shields to block the way.

Duan Lang's heart tightened, but the speed still did not slow down. He didn't know if this team was the team of Wu Guangguang that Delong said.

Just as Duan Lang rushed to the point where he was less than a stone's throw away, the shield array in front of him flashed to both sides, making way for a road. Duan Lang breathed a sigh of relief slightly, reined in his war horse, and shouted to everyone behind him.

"Brothers, thank you Duan Lang, you can evacuate by yourself. When he returns, he will be grateful! ”

At this moment, Duan Lang knew that there was no need to let those guards and subordinates continue to follow. A short distance ahead was the site where the city walls were evacuated, and they could evacuate on their own while it was dark. Even Zhou Guangji's manpower can continue to stay in Kyoto and hide.

"General, you withdraw first, and I'll stop it later. Rest assured, even if we fall into the hands of the other party, our own adults will come forward to protect us. One of the wardens shouted.

"Then thank you, Xiangtian, let's go!"

After Duan Lang finished speaking, he rushed forward. The rattan guards on both sides of the road acted as if they didn't see it, until the car passed, and the people and horses on both sides quickly closed together, blocking the road.

Zhang Ruming stood in the car and shouted at the vine guard, "Brothers, thank you, one day, go to my Heavenly Master Hall to drink!" ”

Duan Lang didn't stop, and quickly took the car to shake off everyone. There was a sudden silence behind him, and Duan Lang suddenly felt relieved in his heart. Seeing that he was about to reach the edge of the breakthrough wall, suddenly, many black shadows jumped from the roofs on both sides of the road.

Duan Lang hurriedly pulled his horse and shouted loudly, "Protect the car!" ”

Duan Lang pointed his gun and stopped abruptly. Because Duan Lang saw that not far in front of him, it was actually Lord Huai who was standing. Although it was in the dark, Duan Lang still recognized him at a glance.

More than a dozen people lit torches on the side of the road, and Duan Lang glanced at them and found that all of them were wearing the black fish suits of the Detective Division. One of them is still an acquaintance, Liu Shenyu, the commander of the Investigation Department who once went to Yushan Pass.

Lord Huai looked at Duan Lang, then at Zhang Ruming on the car, stepped forward a few steps, and asked.

"His Royal Highness Delong, can you be in the car?"

"Lord Huai, you are a close minister beside Emperor Yuning, I don't know if you are blocking the road late at night, do you want to take the Seventh Highness down to the forbidden mansion to ask for merit? This is not like the way you act in the way Lord Huai acts. ”

Lord Huai laughed twice, and was about to speak, when suddenly, dozens of figures fell. These people were dressed in palace guard uniforms, and the leader was the eunuch Wei Dong, the chief eunuch of Ouchi.

"Lord Huai, I haven't seen you for so long, I didn't expect to meet here." Wei Tong said coldly.

Lord Huai was slightly stunned, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He found that among the people who followed Wei Dong, there were actually the eight most powerful iron guards of Emperor Yuning.

"Wei Dong, why are you here?" Lord Huai asked in a deep voice.

"Humph! Of course it is~! ”

Without waiting for Wei Dong to finish speaking, Zhang Ruming scolded angrily, "You old dog, of course you are here to catch Prince Delong to receive the reward." Bastard, Your Majesty trusts you so much, you old dog actually disobeyed Your Majesty's will, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will catch you in the spirit of heaven and go to hell. ”

"You~ You are presumptuous, the old man is here to protect His Royal Highness Delong."

Lord Huai smiled, "Really? But the old man doesn't think so. Duan Lang, the old man was edicted by His Majesty to protect His Royal Highness Delong. This Wei Dong, I'm afraid that he has already taken refuge in Yu Ban, it is better for you and me to join forces to eradicate them first, and wait for the old man to escort you out of Beijing. ”

"Fart, the old slave is loyal to His Majesty. Duan Lang, don't listen to his nonsense, Lord Huai has already taken refuge in Yu Ban. Wei Dong scolded angrily.

Duan Lang looked at the two of them in surprise, in his eyes, these two should be wearing a pair of pants, how could they be opposed. But that's fine, at least it leaves them a chance. But who is the real loyal minister, Duan Lang is difficult to distinguish between true and false for a while.

Seeing Duan Lang's hesitation, Lord Huai stretched out his hand and took out a holy decree, "Duan Lang, take a look for yourself." Lord Huai said, shaking his hand and throwing it at Duan Lang.

Duan Lang took it and didn't open it yet, Wei Tong said anxiously, "Don't believe him, this is indeed His Majesty's last edict." But the old man can guarantee with his life that he betrayed His Majesty. ”

Duan Lang still finished reading the edict, and at this moment, he believed in Lord Huai a little. After all, Zhou Zhu had an accident, and the biggest suspect was Wei Dong.

"If both of you are escorting His Highness Delon, then please get out of the way." Duan Lang said calmly.

"Okay, if you have the ability to escort His Highness Delong, then my Investigation Division will help you intercept Wei Dong and the others."

"Humph! Whether you are loyal or treacherous, Duan Lang, you protect His Highness and leave, and I will leave it to the old man here. Wei Dong stared at Lord Huai fiercely and said.

Duan Lang was a little confused, not only him, but Zhang Ruming also felt incredible. Could it be that both of them are really here to escort Delon?

"Okay, please get out of the way." Duan Langxin said to leave first, no matter which of the two of you is true or fake, there will always be a fox tail exposed.

With a wave of his hand, the detectives behind him made way and stood on the left side. Wei Dong also signaled, and the palace guards also flashed to the right side.

Duan Lang looked back, "To the sky, go!" ”

Duan Lang hinted to everyone, and the eighteen guards held long knives and walked forward cautiously. Duan Lang deliberately went around to the right side of the car, and his attention was focused on the old eunuch Wei Dong.

Everyone was silent, but there was a murderous aura in the air. The sound of the car is particularly loud at this time. Wei Dong and Lord Huai stared at each other face to face, and the car quickly came between the two.

Duan Lang's palms were a little sweaty, and he also felt great pressure in the face of these two masters.

"Duan Lang, protect Your Highness, go all the way!" Lord Huai said, clenching his fists slightly.

At this time, the car was passing between the two, and Duan Lang was about to reply, but found that Wei Dong suddenly raised his hand and threw the sword out of his hand.

"Ah~! Old dog, take your life! ”

Duan Lang had been paying attention to Wei Dong, and when he saw Wei Dong actually shooting the sword in his hand at the car, he suddenly shook the black iron gun in his hand and stabbed Wei Dong in the chest.

Duan Langguang paid attention to Wei Dong, but he didn't notice that when Lord Huai hugged his fist just now, a small knife in his hand ejected out. And Wei Dong's sword was to meet the cold light that shot into the car. Wei Dong's original intention was to prevent Lord Huai from killing Prince Delong in the car. Unexpectedly, Duan Lang mistakenly thought that he had betrayed Emperor Yuning.

"Bastard, don't go and protect His Highness Delong yet!" Wei Dong cursed, and his body quickly turned to the side.

"Duan Lang, join forces to kill Wei Dong first."

Lord Huai took out his waist knife and jumped over the horse's head, just now he heard the sound of the knife entering the flesh, what Lord Huai has to do now is that Duan Lang and Wei Dong must remove one. He can't let go of this kind of opportunity, take advantage of Duan Lang's misunderstanding, get rid of one first.

"Good!" Duan Lang stabbed the air with a shot, then pulled out a spear flower and stabbed Wei Dong again.

At this moment, Duan Lang saw a flash of cold light in his peripheral vision, and subconsciously leaned forward, and Lord Huai's waist knife slashed at Duan Lang's back.

Duan Lang was shocked, and Lord Huai was also stunned, he didn't expect Duan Lang to be wearing soft armor. Before Duan Lang could straighten up, Lord Huai's waist knife slashed at his knee.

Lord Huai was as fast as lightning in one go, and it was too late for Duan Lang to avoid it. At this moment, Duan Lang knew who the real betrayer was. But it's a little late, and if you get stabbed in the knee, I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave Kyoto alive tonight.

In an instant, a soft sword stabbed at Lord Huai's throat like a poisonous snake. If he didn't hide with his sword, he would definitely die under this soft sword.

Lord Huai gritted his teeth, raised his knife and swung the soft sword, and Duan Lang also took advantage of the moment to ride his horse away.

The three of them were facing each other in a triangle, and Wei Dong snorted with a soft sword in his hand, "Damn Duan Lang, if anything happens to His Royal Highness the Seventh, the old man will never let you go." ”

"Lord Huai, is it really you? Chief Wei can rest assured that His Royal Highness Delong has left Kyoto, and the inside of the car is fake. ”

After Duan Lang finished speaking, Lord Huai and Wei Dong's faces changed. However, Lord Huai was surprised, but Wei Dong was happy.

"Boy, even if Delong goes out of the city gate, the old man can still chase and kill. Tonight, none of you can leave. Everyone, listen, kill! As soon as Lord Huai saw that he was exposed, the two sides who were still facing each other were suddenly killed together.

"Xiang Tiangu Fan, protect Lord Shangguan to leave at the predetermined place, leave me alone, this is an order!"

After Duan Lang finished speaking, he waved the barrel of the pistol and drew it on the back of the chariot's horse, and the chariot suddenly rushed forward. And Duan Lang himself rushed towards Lord Huai with a gun.
