Chapter 76: Saving the King from the Rain of Swords and Arrows
At this moment, a group of mighty soldiers walked past the review stand,
Because the king said yesterday that he would come today, the Praetorian Guard was still ready.
Their majestic posture still made the king very happy,
"Well, yes, I have a male soldier in my Beijing division, who can make waves." The king said,
While he was saying this, a group of soldiers with arrows on their backs passed in front of him, but suddenly the group of soldiers stopped as they walked before the king, and then they took off their bows and arrows from their backs, and they went straight in the direction of the king, and they took their arrows and shot them at the king.
At this moment the king was frightened, he had no way to dodge, he watched those arrows fly, the king's guards could only draw their swords to block, they surrounded the king, but the rain of arrows was too fierce, their hands were too slow to block those arrows, they fell to the ground one after another,
When the last of the king's guards fell to the ground with an arrow, a dark shadow flew up and shouted, "Your Highness, get down." When the king heard this, he hurriedly lay down, and the man immediately stood in front of the king, and he drew his sword and kept resisting, and soon the first wave of the archers stopped him,
A second rain of arrows followed, and it seemed that these men had premeditated to assassinate the king here! At this moment, some more men in black rushed in, helping the man to keep pushing away the arrows.
Other men in black rushed into the archers and began to slash them.
The archers fell, and all but a few remained with the king, and all the others fell into the crowd of archers.
At this time, Zheng Yicheng, the leader of the forbidden army, changed his face greatly, and saw him wave his hand again, and a large number of soldiers with spears in their hands rushed towards those people and the king.
At this time, when the king saw this scene, he stood up, "Zheng Yicheng, you are so bold, you dare to rebel." ”
Zheng Yicheng stood there and said loudly, "Your Highness, I am offended, today is either you die or I die, and I am also being sent." ”
Then he faced his army: "Brothers, from now on we support King Chengwu as the king, King Chengwu promised, after the throne to reward everyone, everyone hurry up and kill the faint king, if you don't kill him, he will take revenge on our forbidden army, and those who don't participate will not survive, everyone." ”
Some of the soldiers gathered around, but some of them still hesitated.
At this time, a few people suddenly rushed over from outside, and the people in front of them shouted loudly on the horse: "Brothers of the Praetorian Guard, you are not Zheng Yicheng's people, you are His Royal Highness's people, many of you have received the grace of the country in the world, and the time has come for you to destroy the rebellious ministers and thieves, from now on, you will immediately belong to my command, I order you to destroy Zheng Yicheng, follow me to eliminate King Chengwu, and you will be rewarded by the king for your great achievements this time." ”
It was the prince of peace who spoke. Those Praetorian Guard soldiers began to mess up, because Prince An Ning has always had prestige in the country, just because after King Chengwu gradually took power, Prince An Ning himself faded out of the front line of power, but Prince An Ning once led soldiers in the army, and many soldiers were very obedient to him,
At this moment, many soldiers who had a relationship with Prince An Ning in the past stood on the side of Prince An Ning, and Prince An Ning soon joined the king.
The king shouted loudly: "King Chengwu rebelled, from this moment on, anyone who was deceived, this king is not to blame in the past, everyone abandons the darkness and follows the command of King Anning, and quells the rebellion together, this king still has a reward, and anyone who is obsessed with following King Chengwu to rebel will be punished by the nine clans." ”
As soon as these words came out, many soldiers showed a look of awe on their faces, and slowly, there were fewer and fewer people around Zheng Yicheng.
Seeing this, Zheng Yicheng drew his sword and hacked to death several soldiers who were leaving his side, and he rode his horse and rushed towards the king.
"Death to the faint king." As he ran, he raised his sword,
At this time, the masked Zhu Houzhao, who was beside Prince Anning, said softly to Mu Lan: "Mu Lan, fulfill him." ”
Mu Lan nodded, she took the bow and arrow of a soldier beside her, bent the bow and arrows,
Just when Zheng Yicheng was about to rush to the king's side, he smiled fiercely, his sword was about to be cut out, he was thinking that the king would die, he Zheng Yicheng might have a chance to turn the tables, and he could also get all kinds of rewards that King Chengwu promised him,
But at this moment, an arrow had already entered the back of his heart, and he fell under the horse with a muffled grunt.
When he fell, his eyes looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and at this moment these beautiful things were really like those yellow sorghum riches, becoming the clouds of the past in his life.
He slowly closed his eyes,
At this time, the soldiers who followed Zheng Yicheng knelt on the ground one after another, "Spare your life, Your Highness the King, we are all forced." "There they shouted,
Prince An Ning ordered, "Come on, take them all into custody for the time being, review them slowly, and the rest of the soldiers, you follow me to the palace." ”
Then Prince An Ning said to His Royal Highness: "Your Highness, this time King Chengwu is attacking the palace, and I have ordered the guards of the palace to defend the palace desperately, so the king, you can go back to the palace with me." ”
"Okay, King Anning, I thought you were really going to retire, but I didn't expect you to be able to save me at a critical moment, it's really worth our brotherhood." The king said,
"Our brotherhood will always be there, you trusted me like that before, there is no mustard between us, it's just that I see King Wu as young, and I want to let him go more, but I didn't expect him to have a disobedient heart." King Anning said,
"Alas, yes, I don't know my heart if I know my face, don't say it, let's go to the palace quickly, you can lead the troops." The king said,
"Let's go, let's go to the palace." Prince An Ning kept giving orders at this time, because he knew most of the generals of the Praetorian Guard, and he quickly completed the arrangement, and those generals rushed to the palace with their soldiers.
And the king of peace and tranquility also ran with the king to the royal palace,
Because Zhu Houzhao told Prince An Ning in advance, don't introduce yourself, and wait until you leave before telling the king about it, because Zhu Houzhao has seen the king of North Korea before, if you want to introduce, it's not good to be masked, but if you don't mask it, Zhu Houzhao doesn't want the king of North Korea to know that he is walking around in person, so it's best not to meet,
So Zhu Houzhao still took his guards and pretended to be the people around Prince Anning, and rode towards the palace.
When they arrived at the palace, they saw that King Sungmu's people were violently attacking the palace, and the one named Kim Changsung was beside King Sungmu, they were watching all this, maybe at this moment they had dreamed that the king had been killed by them, and after taking the palace at this moment, he King Sungmu would be the new king of Joseon.
King Chengwu's face was very relaxed, because the guards of the palace were almost unable to hold it.
