Chapter 42: The Storming of the Palace

The prince followed his gaze and looked out, only to see a handsome, tall young man with a warm smile on his face walking in from the outside.

Seeing him walk in, the prince's gaze suddenly tightened, this person was very familiar, and after a while, the prince remembered that this person turned out to be the eldest son of Ouyang Yunzhong, the prime minister of Shu Kingdom, Ouyang He!

Seeing Ouyang He coming, the dialect in the room hurriedly stood up and walked forward, saluted Ouyang He, and said:

"Subordinates welcome the son!"

Ouyang He helped him up and said with a smile:

"Why is Lord Fang so polite!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the crown prince Liu Rui, and said respectfully:

"Foreign Minister Ouyang He, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Shangguo!"

Seeing that he was so humble, the prince put on a smiling face, walked up to Ouyang He, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"It turns out that Ouyang Gongzi is in charge of the situation in Luojing City, and he has never met, disrespectful, disrespectful!"

Ouyang He looked at the prince with a smile, bowed his head and said:

"Ouyang He didn't dare to meet the prince, so as not to expose his whereabouts and miss the prince's big event!"

After speaking, he glanced at the prince and saw that his face was a little pale, so he continued:

"The situation in Luojing City is complicated, there is the emperor's eyeliner in the front, and there are the eyes and ears of the British king's Yingge, fortunately, the layout of the prince's lantern will lead the left and right hands of the emperor and the king of England out, otherwise it will not be so smooth! If a big thing is accomplished, remember the prince's first merit! ”

Hearing this, the prince laughed, patted Ouyang He on the shoulder and said:

"Ouyang Gongzi is a great meritorious, a great contribution! Ha ha. ”

After speaking, he pointed to the carriage that had been prepared outside the door and said, "Please!" ”

Ouyang He was stunned for a moment, then stepped back after a moment, bowed down and smiled

"Prince first, please!"

The prince raised his head with satisfaction, and was no longer polite, and walked forward slowly, Ouyang He hurriedly followed, when he raised his head, he seemed to inadvertently glance at Fang Yan, and when he saw Fang Yan nodded, Ouyang He strode to keep up with the prince's steps.

Nothing to say for a while.

The breeze blew slowly, bringing a long-lost coolness.

It's just that this gust of wind brings not only the coolness of the body, but also the coolness of the heart, which goes straight to the bottom of the heart.

The officials, who were still elated and preparing to join the prince's book, suddenly got the news that the emperor's illness was aggravated, the dragon's health was not safe, and the early dynasty was postponed indefinitely.

Luojing City, which was originally jubilant, suddenly became quiet, and the emperor's will was unclear, unclear, and incomprehensible.

At the same time, an army with thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly drove in from outside the city, holding the prince's token, and went straight to the outside of the palace gate, and stationed in the name of protecting the emperor's safety.

Even ordinary people felt something strange when they passed by the palace from afar, and almost all of them had a shadow in their hearts, and the capital, which had been happy and excited a few days ago, was suddenly enveloped by a strange depression.

Half a day later, a piece of news that was enough to shock the entire continent suddenly came out, like a huge wave, surging in this huge city!

Liu Zhuang, the emperor of the Han Empire, was assassinated in his bedroom!

According to the emperor's will, after a hundred years, all the affairs of the empire will be handled by the crown prince, so it can be said that the sky, as if overnight, has changed.

But the people in the chaos are at a loss for what to do, especially after the encounter in the past few days, the ministers who have just decided to take refuge in the three princes of the empire, King Liu Xiu, are even more at the bottom of their hearts, Luo Huo, Zhang Yuliang, Wang Xiangzuo and other imperial ministers at the door of the mansion, and even directly besieged by the prince's army in the name of protecting the imperial ministers, the sky of the Han Kingdom seems to be completely darkened, and it is about to change.

In anxious and worried eyes, people watched as the prince's army once again sealed off the city of Luojing, everyone entering and leaving the capital was carefully examined, strictly interrogated, the curfew was restarted, and the heavily armed prince's army and the royal forest army once again walked around the streets.

Seeing the prince's army, the merchants and officials were frightened and inexplicable, but there was nothing they could do, fortunately, this time the prince's army did not enter the palace to search in the name of arresting the assassins, but only patrolled the city, but there were also signs of secretly looking for people, as if there were really rebellious assassins in this Luojing City.

The envoys of various countries in Luojing were all "heavily protected" by the crown prince, and in the name of protection, they were strictly restricted from entering and leaving the mansion to prevent news from leaking, and even the nobles and envoys who were subject to the country and the southern country were not allowed to enter and leave the city gate.

The people in Luojing City were panicked, but everything was going on in an orderly manner, as if someone was pushing them forward.

After a day of panic, people's mood slowly calmed down, and everyone's eyes began to gather again, looking at the Imperial Palace, the East Palace, and the British Palace.

Anyone can feel that the wrestling of this empire at this time has entered a white-hot stage with the death of the emperor, but the British King Liu Xiu is in a disadvantageous position, and people suddenly feel that Liu Xiu's figure in the wind and rain of these years is so fragile.

All the wings were tied, and even the Yingge forces in the shadows were almost slaughtered, and Liu Xiu was isolated at this time.

It seems that this wind and rain poured out Liu Xiu's prototype.

Night, Luojing City, inside the Imperial Palace.

Two columns of heavily armed troops, soldiers holding torches, quietly turned in the wind, turned back, and headed in the direction of the palace gate.

A murderous aura rippled out.

Outside the palace, the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army arranged by the prince held their breath, swallowed their saliva, picked up their weapons with torches and rushed to the door, looking at the countless people and horses in the palace, and walked out with the breath of death.

Outside the palace gate, there was a slaughter.

And in the distance behind the prince's army, countless fires seemed to suddenly emerge from hell, shaking the blade light that appeared from time to time, and walked over.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is a good killing night!

Originally, there were still people who scolded and shouted and intimidated the army that came out of the palace, but when they saw such a scene, they gradually closed their voices, lit them with a spirit, covered the torches, slipped out while it was dark, and reported to the prince.

The full moon in the sky also penetrated into the clouds at the moment, hazy, making the street look a little dim.

The third military horse that appeared in the distance soon arrived in front of them, and no one spoke at this time, perhaps everyone understood in their hearts, but between life and death, the three parties did not know their own details, so they restrained each other, and had many scruples, which maintained a temporary balance.

The square in front of the palace gate is very large, but this square is suddenly crowded with thousands of people, and it also seems to be crowded, and even at the closest place, the three factions are only a few steps away, and all three parties are holding their weapons tightly, looking at each other coldly, staring at each other, with strong killing intent.

Until from the last team, from the end came out a young man with a cold face and a black dress.

A wind blew, stroking away the hair that covered his forehead, revealing the delicate and gloomy face of King Liu Xiu.

A chuckle came out of the army that walked out of the palace gate.

Seeing this, Cheng Wu shouted:

"Your Royal Highness, you led the crowd to trespass on the palace gate, do you want to create a law?!"

Liu Xiu didn't speak yet, only heard a mournful cry of "ah" from the prince's army, Cheng Wu turned back suddenly, only to see that in the darkness, in the shadows, in the light of the torch, a knife flashed gently, and a soldier on his side staggered a few steps, covered his neck and fell, red blood sprayed out from his nails, staining the ground under him.

Only then did Cheng Wu realize that his Royal Forest Army was already under attack at this time, and he looked up at the dim sky, this day, has it not changed at all?

The world suddenly fell silent, and at that moment, everyone held their breath and could hear their own heartbeats.

Subsequently, the generals of the various armies gave an order, and the people gritted their teeth and rushed forward with a roar, fighting together fiercely.

The smell of blood instantly spread, flowing wantonly on this forbidden land for hundreds of years.

Soon, the two "anti-armies" in the mouth of the princeling army gained the upper hand, they divided the princeling army into several shares from both sides in an orderly and tacit understanding, and then with the advantage of numbers, three people surrounded one, slaughtered, the bloody river quickly gathered, people were like beasts that had lost their minds, furious biting and fighting, sharp blades cut through the night, through the human body, bringing out blood, ushering in death.

The people in the three-color armor fought together in front of the palace, and the sound of killing shook the sky!

In the chaos, Cheng Wu felt as if there were enemies in front of him, his eyes were blood-red, there was no one around him, all of them were enemies, he clenched the knife in his hand, looked at the enemy's weak spots, and rushed to kill him.

Only by killing them can you live!

In the night, outside the palace gate, the war gradually turned into a bloody massacre!

"Stop, stop! Are you all reversed?! ”

A loud roar suddenly sounded, and at the end of Pingxi Street, there was a rush of horses' hooves, and after receiving information, the two thousand princes' troops who were patrolling rushed over with sharp blades in their hands.

The first person, riding a horse and galloping, this person has forty people, dignified, heroic, majestic, long beard fluttering, Liu Xiu saw it in his eyes, and recognized this person as Fang Ming, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army that the prince relied on.

Seeing that Fang Ming's face was solemn, his face was full of anger, and he didn't wait for the army behind him to follow, he didn't stop, and directly led a few personal soldiers who followed him to rush into the battle circle, shouting and beating, wanting to forcibly separate everyone and stop the war.

Seeing this, the "anti-army" had a tacit understanding to let Fang Ming enter, and then quickly closed it and wrapped him inside.

Seeing this, Cheng Wu rushed to Fang Ming's side and said sadly:

"General Fang! Things have changed, it's no longer the prince's world at this moment, you shouldn't rush in! These two military horses are no ordinary thieves! After speaking, he pointed behind him with his hand, and saw Liu Xiu looking at him expressionlessly.

Fang Ming didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he looked around, his heart couldn't help but sink down, all around him were densely packed with enemy troops, looking at himself with fierce eyes, and all the royal forest troops he brought were blocked outside, and in the dark night, he was at a loss.

I really underestimated the enemy! In such a situation, cold sweat flowed down his head.
