Because of the curfew, people went to bed early, and even the dogs in the city seemed to feel the strange atmosphere and remained silent in their dens.

The entire imperial capital looks like an empty city on this night.

But to the people, it seemed like a quiet night.

The soldiers on routine patrol lined up in the streets, and the silence was broken by the boots, and the torches in their hands tore through the night sky and woke up the night, but apart from a few distant barks, everything was restored, and there was no movement.

Even in the sky, there was no moon or stars to be seen, as if even they were tired of another night.

The whole city is shrouded in an oppressive and dreary atmosphere, and only darkness is moving forward alone!

But soon, this dullness was broken, and when a brilliant and dazzling fireworks bloomed like flowers in the quiet night, few people who looked up at the sky felt that it was beautiful, but felt a little weird and a little sad.

The sound of messy footsteps suddenly sounded in the middle of the night, and the outside of the vast and ornate palace of the Han Empire was suddenly surrounded by heavily armed Praetorian Guard soldiers, almost every soldier holding a freshly lit torch in his hand, and most of the soldiers had veils over their faces, as if they did not want to be recognized.

The flames were in the sky, and the footsteps of many soldiers in the distance were neatly rushing towards the crowd gathering place, and countless people and horses were coming from the streets in almost every direction, but none of the civilians dared to come out to see what was going on.

Although they knew in their hearts that the sky of this big man had finally changed!

It's just that His Majesty the Emperor, at this moment, what is he doing?

Soon, the soldiers who kept rushing back and forth surrounded the palace, and everyone held their breath and stared at the handsome young man under the firelight, the most low-key fourth prince of the empire, the son of Liu Yu, the king of Pingxi - Liu Qi!

The black-robed man looked at the sky with his hands in his hands, and the moonless sky was full of dark clouds.

The soldiers were silent, looking at him silently, waiting for Liu Qi's order, everyone's faces looked bright and uncertain under the light of the torches, and they couldn't see their mood at the moment, but there was a trace of fanaticism in the depths of everyone's eyes!

That is the brightest light in the darkness of this moment!

Was it the deep desire to wreak havoc on the palace, or was it loyalty to the emperor's eagerness to make meritorious contributions?

Is it for the gold and silver treasures in the depths of the palace, or for the Qing monarch's side, to eliminate the traitorous meritorious feasant?

It seemed that there was no clear answer for everyone, and all of them were staring closely at the young prince who had led them to this point, waiting for him to give orders, storm the palace, and rescue the emperor!

After a while, Liu Qi turned his head from the silence, he gently stroked a large golden box in his hand, and then slowly opened it in front of the soldiers.

It was the sword of Shang Fang of the "Qing Evil Sword" empire, the weapon used by Emperor Gaozu, the king of the Han Dynasty, and in the light of the torch, the "Qing Evil" shone with a silver-white light.

Almost all of them knelt down the moment the sword was unsheathed.

Liu Qi handed the sword scabbard to the attendants beside him, and then raised the sword high! A burst of white light flickered, and the legendary weapon shone in his hand.

Seeing this, the soldier who knelt on the ground hurriedly put the weapon in his hand on the ground, his head was heavily buckled on the ground, and at the same time shouted in his mouth, shouting: "Long live! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Outside the palace, Liu Qi squinted his eyes slightly and enjoyed the cheers of the soldiers, although he also knew that those soldiers knelt down to worship the "pure evil" in his hands, but his heart was still full of excitement, in a few days, the country of this big man will belong to him Liu Qi!

Thinking of this, he held the hand of "clearing the evil" and probed upward, and his body was also straight, in the eyes of the soldiers, at this moment, the four princes of the empire, His Royal Highness Liu Qi is like the great king in the long river of history who has been resurrected in the light of the torch, in this cold night in the depths of winter, ready to meet the enemy and save the country!

Imperial revival is expected! That's what almost everyone thinks in their hearts.

Only a woman behind him, with an inexplicable expression in the dark, looked at him quietly.

After a while, he slowly put down the "Cleansing Evil" and beckoned to the soldiers, who stood up one after another.

After everyone got up, Liu Qi nodded and said to everyone: "Everyone, the first prince Liu Zhao and the second prince Liu Rui colluded with foreign thieves - Luo Huo, the former governor of the empire, who trespassed on the palace gate and committed chaos, and now the saint is in danger, and the empire is in turmoil, my generation is the elite who guards the country, and the loyal warriors of the Han Dynasty, how can we allow the saint to be coerced by traitors, so that future generations will spit on and outsiders will laugh at them?" Now, Liu Qining is infamous all over the world, and he took Er and others into the palace to rescue him, but he would rather die in battle than live! Tonight is from the right to go, but by your will! ”

After speaking, he waved the "cleansing evil" in his hand, and in that silver light package, this young prince has a point of self-confidence, a point of pride and an eight-point domineering spirit of taking the rise and fall of the world as his own responsibility!

He turned his head and looked at the palace gate, his handsome face without any emotion, and then he waved "Cleansing" in the air in the shouts of the soldiers, and in the silver light that remained in the air, he rushed forward!

The soldiers behind him raised their arms in response!

Breaking through the tranquility of the earth, the sudden sound of footsteps sounded on the bluestone pavement, and the shouts of one after another in the dull darkness tore apart the quietness, and the sound of running like thousands of horses and horses made the whole city fall into despair!

The murderous aura emanating from here made the fierce dogs in the people's homes dare not make the slightest sound.

It's as if the whole city, and only this place, is alive.

The Praetorian Guard followed their leader, and countless soldiers poured in from all directions, attacking the gates of the palace, but none of them came out.

The heavy footsteps of the soldiers made the earth tremble!

Inside the palace gate.

War is always easy to get tired, especially on the side with fewer troops, and these soldiers have a faint bloodshot in their eyes.

It was a hastily assembled army, but their expressions were resolute, as if they had already put life and death on the line.

They are the army invited by Liu Ying, and they are the remnants of the "Yingge" left by Liu Xiu in Luojing City back then, and they have been secretly scattered in the city to find out the news, and at the same time to prevent accidents.

This was the only army that Liu Ying could mobilize, and although she was very confident in the soldiers of "Yingge", the enemy troops outside the city were several times larger than hers, and she still felt uneasy in her heart.

Have you finally been martyred?

She clenched her fists fiercely, her eyes full of unwillingness and anger!

And outside, the enemy, his own brother Liu Qi, finally ordered to attack the door after releasing the "Text"!

This palace is the most luxurious palace in the whole continent, but on this cold land, it is like a wounded soldier who is about to fall at any moment.

Outside the palace, the soldiers frantically attacked the palace gate, and the palace that was sacred in their eyes on weekdays was waiting for them to be slaughtered like a lamb to the slaughter.

Liu Qi squinted at the gorgeous palace from behind, watching the rude impact of the soldiers, and a trace of reluctance and resentment flashed in his eyes.

The eunuchs in the palace deserve to die, they are so blind, they have resisted for so long, and when they attack the palace, they will kill them all!

He gritted his teeth with hatred, thinking in his heart: in order to get the people to support his actions, he even sacrificed his own palace!

And ahead, his "loyal" soldiers launched a new offensive.

The palace gate made an overwhelming squeak, hearing this, he took a deep breath, looked at this war with no suspense at all from the gap in his eyes, and did not look back, and suddenly asked: "How long do you think it will take us to conquer the palace?" ”

Tuoba Yu, who was standing behind him, took a step forward, looked at it for a while, shook his head, and said, "In my opinion, there must be an army stationed in the palace, otherwise it would be impossible for a few eunuchs to hold out for so long." ”

After hearing this, Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "It's just a few imperial guards, what kind of climate can it become, this war must end within half an hour, otherwise after dawn, I won't be able to explain to the ministers." ”

Tuoba Yu's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak.

Liu Qi was not angry when he saw this, but continued with his hand: "I know that you are complaining about me in your heart, blaming me for not listening to you, not taking the throne after the death of my father, but I want to make such a big move, but you must understand that even if I ascend the throne and ascend the throne, there is still a big hidden danger in this palace. ”

Speaking of this, he looked back at Tuoba Yu, and saw that she was still bowing her head and not speaking, her brows couldn't help frowning, and she continued: "That is to live in the palace, my two brothers and sisters, the two princes of the empire!" ”

Hearing this, Tuoba Yu, who was standing behind him, groaned slightly, and said, "I always feel that the most worrying thing is not Liu Zhao and Liu Rui, but Liu Xiu and Liu Ying......"

Liu Qi snorted coldly, waved his hand and said: "Liu Xiuyuan is in Weiguo, just a vassal king, what kind of climate can it become, how much storm can Liu Ying set off as a woman?" ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the attacking soldiers, and seeing that they were still making no progress, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and said coldly: "Haven't the spies found out about Wang Xiangzuo?" ”

"Yes," Tuoba Yu lowered his head and said, "I have checked the entire Luojing City and haven't found it yet." ”

After hearing this, Liu Qi said categorically: "Then send someone out of the city to find it!" Now that the army of tiger talismans is in his hands, he can't let him run! ”

"Yes!" Tuoba Yu bowed his head and replied.

Seeing that Tuoba Yu was rarely so docile, Liu Qi was in a slightly better mood and said, "At that time, after Wang Xiangzuo went out of the palace, why didn't you take a good look at him and let him run away?" ”

Tuoba Yu's pretty face frowned, and said: "I'm also quite strange about this matter, I heard you say that the emperor has already issued an order to assist him, it stands to reason that he shouldn't suspect that you will make any changes, could it be that someone around you has reported to him?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Qi turned his head abruptly and said coldly: "This matter is not trivial, you must check it out for me!" I don't want to keep the rebel by my side all day! ”

Tuoba Yu bowed his head and replied, "Yes." ”

After speaking, the two of them fell silent and looked at the "battlefield" together, only to see the fire in front of the palace gate, and the sound of killing shook the sky, but the palace gate did not move at all, and the army attacked for a long time, but there was no progress.

Liu Qi frowned and muttered in a low voice: "A bunch of rice buckets!" After speaking, he said sharply to a young general a little farther away: "Zhang Yuan! ”

Zhang Yuan hurriedly took a few steps forward and replied, "My subordinates are here!" ”

"Ordered to use the wooden palace gate, the archers are ready to enter the battle!"
