Liu Yan's bold words boosted the morale of the guards, and they were not defeated in the face of the siege of the superior forces of the Assassins for a while, but the morale could not solve the shortage of manpower, although the heroic guards killed more Assassins than their own casualties, but still could not change the absolute number of differences, and soon the number of guards had plummeted to less than double digits, while the number of Assassins was still nearly thirty.

Although Liu Yan was not injured, Wu Sicheng on the side was stabbed three times, and the heavy bleeding from the wound made him unstable on his feet.

"The others haven't arrived yet, and it looks like they've been cornered." Wu Sicheng made a faint sound.

Liu Yan sneered: "Don't say frustrating words!" The guards will solve ten, and I will solve all the rest! You've held me up, don't let me die until I've killed all these Assassins! ”

Wu Sicheng replied with a difficult smile: "Weichen should do his best." ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard a person's laughter in the air: "The tone is really not small, and it shouldn't be killed to talk big about it." ”

Liu Yan thought that his martial arts were not too bad, but he couldn't hear where the voice came from. In his astonishment, the assassins began to scream, blood shot out of their bodies, and then they fell to the ground one by one, and at a time when everyone didn't know why, the nearly thirty assassins had all fallen to the ground and died!

Everyone was stunned and speechless. What kind of kung fu is this? He was able to kill thirty people in the blink of an eye! It was Wu Sicheng who reacted first, hugged his fist in the air and said: "I don't know where the capable people came to the rescue, please show up." ”

I don't know if Wu Sicheng was too weak after being injured. The other party didn't hear this voice or the other party deliberately ignored it, Wu Sicheng's words were as unresponsive as falling into the boundless deep sea. Liu Yan stepped forward and grabbed Wu Sicheng and said, "People don't want to show up." You'd better take care of your injuries first. ”

While Liu Yan was bandaging Wu Sicheng briefly, the surviving guards examined the bodies of the dead assassins. These people are all fresh faces. No one recognized, but what was amazing was that the nearly thirty assassins who were killed by the mysterious man were almost all fatally wounded by chopsticks and pebbles! Moreover, these chopsticks and pebbles are deeply embedded in the flesh, which shows how amazing the strength of that mysterious person has reached!

At this time, Liu Yan didn't have time to marvel at this, and after bandaging Wu Sicheng, he ordered two guards to help Wu Sicheng, and then hurried to the queen's residence. Liu Yan sensed that since this group of assassins could easily sneak into the inner courtyard of the palace, and it was obvious that they were very familiar with the routes inside the palace. Now that the Queen Mother and herself have been assassinated, then the Queen Mother is also in danger! Although Liu Yan knew that the queen was protected by a few quite good palace maids, the fighting ability of this group of assassins was extraordinary, and if they didn't rush to support, the situation was really hard to say.

When the group came to the queen's Moon Palace, they saw that it was also a mess, with the corpses of the guards and assassins brought by Ji Chonghai lined up, and the corpses of many palace maids were mixed in the middle. Liu Yan was anxious and kept moving forward along this blood-stained road. At the door of the queen's bedroom, he saw Ji Chonghai, who was seriously wounded, and the corpses of eleven assassins around him.

Ji Chonghai was covered in blood, and he didn't know how many knives he had been stabbed, but his left hand was undoubtedly cut off. Ji Chonghai, who was seriously injured, saw Liu Yan. A smile appeared on his face: "The emperor is safe, and the old slave is relieved." The old slave did not fail in his mission, and the thief failed to step into Her Majesty's bedroom."

"Don't talk about it. Old season. Liu Yan took a few steps to support Ji Chonghai, and tears couldn't help but roll down. He knew Ji Chonghai's skills. If it weren't for the door of the queen's bedroom, there would have been no need to pay such a heavy price. At this moment, the door to the queen's bedroom opened. I saw Empress Hua walking out slowly, leaving only a female guard with a sword by her side, and Empress Hua was already holding a short sword in her hand. Empress Hua glanced at the situation in the courtyard, and said: "Your Majesty, it is not safe here, we should immediately go to the Xuanwu Gate Forbidden Army Garrison in the north, where there are 1,800 forbidden troops stationed, and then immediately gather the forbidden troops from other garrisons in the city to guard the Imperial Palace, and at the same time block the city gate and strictly check the whereabouts of the thieves." ”

Liu Yan agreed, while bandaging Ji Chonghai's wound with the guards, and then personally holding Ji Chonghai and striding towards the Xuanwu Gate Forbidden Army station.

When Liu Yan and his entourage arrived at the Xuanwu Gate Forbidden Army station, and then summoned the forbidden army to launch a search, the chaos in the palace was finally calmed down. The ministers who learned of the situation also went to Liu Yan to greet him, and the chaotic situation continued until the early morning of the next day, when Liu Yan was able to return to the palace. At this time, the report of last night's losses was also roughly counted: the Drum Tower and more than 1,300 surrounding houses were burned down, and more than 600 people were killed and wounded; Nearly half of Yanxi Palace was burned down, among which there were dozens of eunuchs and palace maids who died in the fire, and half of them were obviously burned by fire after the sword. More than half of the palace maids and eunuchs in the queen's moon palace were killed or wounded; In addition to the dozens of guards killed in battle, two talented people and eleven palace maids were killed, and the assassins died more than a hundred. With such a huge number of assassins, it would never be possible without a huge backstage, but who is this mastermind? Everyone focused their suspicions on Liu Qian, the king of Jin who crossed the Yellow River in the south.

Liu Yan immediately sent people to Liu Qian's mansion in Jingzhong, and found that Liu Qian's eldest son and eldest daughter had committed suicide by poisoning, and the house slave did not know it. As a result, Liu Qian's suspicion became bigger and bigger, and Liu Yan had to make the judgment that Liu Qian was the mastermind of the assassination after receiving the report, because the target of the assassin was not only himself, but also the queen who had just become pregnant, and even included the Empress Dowager Li and his younger brother Liu Xian. All these interests are only in line with Liu Qian.

The queen seems to have doubts about whether this incident was instructed by Liu Qian, but first, she can't come up with strong evidence to prove Liu Qian's innocence, and second, she herself is also one of the main victims that night, and after being frightened, the queen also had to stay in bed to recuperate, so the queen was not able to help Liu Yan with advice. Although Wu Sicheng's injuries are not serious, they are not light, so he is not by Liu Yan's side. The absence of these two resourceful men made Liu Yan feel deeply inconvenient, coupled with Ji Chonghai's serious injuries, the imperial doctor could not even guarantee his life, which made Liu Yan even more angry, and Liu Yan was sneered at by the Empress Dowager Li when he went to ask the Queen Mother for peace, which meant that he disregarded the safety of the Queen Mother and his brother, and only protected his wife from the palace to take refuge. After a life-and-death battle, he never closed his eyes all night, coupled with a wave of resentment, he attacked three times, Liu Yan no longer thought about anything else, and immediately issued an order to announce that Liu Qian, the king of Jin, had rebelled, deprived him of the title of king of Jin, and at the same time ordered all places to quell the rebellion.
