Zu Donglai now understands that if he wants to bring down Li Guanqi, it will not be as easy as he originally thought. If tonight's action is not successful, his ancestors will really become a rebellious and chaotic party, and he will be scolded by the people of the world; Even if everything went well tonight, killing Li Guanqi and pushing King Qi to the forefront, he would not be able to calmly face other officials and people loyal to Li Guanqi. So he needed a reason now—a reason to kill Li Guanqi legally.

Zu Donglai thinks that this reason is in Cining Palace, if it can be proved that Empress Dowager You was poisoned by Li Guanqi, then there is no worry that everyone does not believe that the first emperor and the first prince also died in the hands of Li Guanqi, then all the problems will be solved. At that time, what his ancestor Donglai killed was no longer the true son of heaven of the Great Qian Dynasty, but a faint monarch who had no way to kill his father and mother and brother!

Thinking of this, Zu Dong came to beat the horse like a fly, and rushed to Cining Palace......

In the dark night, there is hardly a single light, and the entire palace is like a monster with a big mouth, which makes people feel a strong sense of fear from the bottom of their hearts. Zu Donglai walked on the road with two hundred armor soldiers, and all he heard was the footsteps of his own people, which made this fear a lot deeper......

Cining Palace lies quietly in a corner of the imperial city, but at this moment, the palace is brightly lit, and it looks dazzling in the surrounding night.

Zu Donglai led the people and horses to the outside of Cining Palace, only to see that the vermilion gate was tightly closed, but there was no sound in the brightly lit palace.

Zu Donglai hesitated slightly, then waved his hand, signaling the armor soldiers to step forward and open the door.

The heavy vermilion gate was slowly pushed forward, making a creaking sound that seemed so permeating in the silence of the night......

The fire flickered, and two hundred armor soldiers rushed in, and Zu Donglai also strode into the main hall, only to see that there was no figure in the empty hall, only the lights everywhere were crackling and burning.

Just when Zu Donglai and his party looked at each other and didn't know what to do next, a clear and slightly lazy voice came out, "Zu Donglai, in the middle of the night, you led the troops to break into Cining Palace, what do you want to do?" ”

The voice came suddenly, strangely, and clearly echoed in the hall, but no figure appeared.

"Li Guanqi, you unscrupulous faint king, you crazy rebel! You poisoned your mother, you, you, you deserve a thousand sins! Zu Donglai roared angrily as the wicked man complained first.

"Hehe, Queen Mother. Do you listen to Zu Donglai, is he crazy and loses his heart? He actually said that his son poisoned your old man! Li Guanqi's voice came out lightly again, and his tone was full of banter about Zu Donglai!

"Li Guanqi, don't make a fool of yourself here! If you have the ability, please ask the Queen Mother to come out and let the old man see it! Zu Donglai's mind was already starting to mess up at this moment, because he found that every move he made seemed to be behind Li Guanqi.

"It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin! In that case, I will fulfill you! ”

With Li Guanqi's words, the curtain was lifted, and four figures slowly walked out, walking in front of a middle-aged palace beauty, at this moment she was holding the hand of an old eunuch next to her and walked forward. To his left was Li Guanqi, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and behind Li Guanqi was Zhuge Qingyun with a murderous face.

The four of them walked to the bright place, and the palace beauty opened her mouth and said: "Zu Donglai, you led troops to attack my imperial city late at night, and slandered the emperor for poisoning the mourning family, what is your intention?" ”

Zu Donglai's brain "buzzed", as if someone had knocked him hard with a heavy hammer. He thought that Cining Palace would be a life-saving rope, but he didn't expect it to be a deadly poisonous snake. Although he hadn't seen Empress Dowager You a few times, he could also recognize it at this moment that this palace beauty was the current empress dowager who was rumored to have been poisoned by Li Guanqi.

In an instant, Zu Donglai came to his senses, all of this was designed by Li Guanqi in advance, and he had fallen into Li Guanqi's trap. If tonight's incident spreads, his ancestor Donglai will become a complete rebel in the minds of the people of the world. If you want to avoid this situation, then there is only one way - no matter what three seven twenty-one, kill Li Guanqi and Empress Dowager You, as long as the two hundred armor soldiers behind him don't say anything, then he can still put all the charges on Li Guanqi.

"Li Guanqi, you insidious and cunning villain, killed the Queen Mother, and you dare to find someone to impostor, today the old man will abolish you, welcome King Qi to the throne, and tell the world about your crimes!" Zu Donglai roared angrily.

Li Guanqi's face turned cold, and he shouted: "Zu Donglai, until now, you still don't want to repent." Then it's no wonder I'm ruthless! ”

With the sound of Li Guanqi's words, there was a rush of footsteps outside the main hall, and hundreds of Yu Lin guards armed with hard crossbows appeared in front of the door of the main hall, blocking Zu Donglai and the two hundred armor soldiers above the main hall. At the same time, dozens of Ouchi guards flashed out behind the curtain, separating the two sides.

This sudden change made the armor soldiers in the main hall of Cining Palace couldn't help but be surprised. But after all, these people were battle-hardened warriors, and after a brief period of confusion, they immediately calmed down again.

Li Guanqi's cold voice sounded again: "Zu Donglai." Yu Linwei's hard crossbow power, you must also know it. There are more than 200 people in the Guozhang He Zhu Mansion, most of them died under this kind of murderous weapon, and your current subordinates are 200 people, right? If you are smart, you will immediately put down your weapons and be arrested, except for Zu Donglai, the rest will not be held accountable! ”

Without waiting for Zu Dong to speak, the two hundred armor soldiers looked at each other, raised the weapons in their hands, shouted in unison, and swarmed towards the Yulin guards guarding outside the gate of the main hall. The soldiers' thoughts are sometimes very simple, they are all people who have followed Zu Donglai for many years, and over the years, Zu Donglai has been not thin on them, and they naturally know the Thanksgiving Picture. In the high-level political struggle, they can't tell who is right and who is wrong, but let them abandon Zu Donglai at this time, they will definitely not be able to do it.

However, although these armor soldiers have been experienced in a hundred battles, after all, the years have passed, and since they came to the capital to follow Zu Donglai, they have been living in pampering for a long time, and their blood is no longer as good as it was back then. The tragic color of such a charge is far greater than the majestic ......

Before Zu Donglai's armor pounced, the Yulin guards had already pulled their crossbows one after another, and one after another crossbow arrows flashed with deadly cold light, and they shot out like lightning.
