Section XXIII

The rain had stopped, and the moonlight revealed a glimmer of light in the cracks of the clouds, more like a knife.

Wu Ming urged the horse to gallop and galloped all the way along the Imperial City Avenue. On the road, there were still battles taking place, but most of them were soldiers chasing the eunuchs and palace maids. While urging the horse to gallop, he silently prayed in his heart: "Xiao Ai, may God bless you if you are okay." ”

The relationship between the two can be said to have always been Esther's initiative, and Wu Ming has always accepted it passively as a matter of course. When he saw that the elf-like blonde woman might leave him forever, he suddenly found that he had long been accustomed to her occasional willfulness, sweet voice, and silver bell-like smile. The wind was blowing like a knife, and the pain in his chest was like a knife, Wu Ming's vision blurred, and in a trance, Esther waved her fist in the distance, and said coquettishly: "This is what you said, you have to stay with me all the time and be nice to me." ”

The further back he went, the sound of shouting and killing gradually became clearer, and Wu Ming grabbed the horse, just waiting to hear the sound to identify the position. Longhou Jiaohou led dozens of horsemen to rush up from behind, and they all took the horses. Long Hou said: "The sound of the fight is coming from the Flying Frost Palace, come with me." ”

The Flying Frost Hall is the emperor's bedroom, and although the Dragon Marquis does not come often, he still knows the direction. Wu Ming only felt a flower in front of him, and shouted, "Quick! Fast! "Another whip was added. Nanwang's footsteps were very fast, although Long Hou went ahead of him, but under his rapid pursuit, it didn't take long for him to be overtaken, and Wu Ming took the lead and galloped away.

The closer you get to the Flying Frost Temple, the more corpses there are on the ground, and you can even see the fallen elephant, which shows the fierceness of the battle. He followed the sound and rushed to the door of the Flying Frost Palace, and heard the sound of gold and iron striking inside. There were a few guards standing at the door, and when they saw Wu Ming rushing over, a leader shouted, "What person?" ”

Although these people were covered in blood, they were obviously not forbidden army clothing. Wu Ming was not wordy, as soon as he picked up the reins, Nanwang let out a long hiss, and rushed inward with his stuffy head. Those few people were not weak, and two of them fought in a battle, sealing the door, and the spear was always outside, just waiting for Wu Ming to rush over. The other two swung their spears and struck them from left to right. Wu Ming's anger ran through the red night, the golden brilliance flashed, and the two of them who blocked the way looked up to the sky and fell. Although the two on the left and right had also been on the battlefield, when they saw the Dongfang Sword Qi, they were immediately stunned, and said secretly: "What kind of demon method is this?" ”

Just like that, Wu Ming had already rushed in with people and horses. The two marquis then arrived, drew their swords and slashed. When the two of them saw Shuanghou coming, they were so frightened that their hands went soft, but they died faster in this way, and they only blocked twice, and they both became ghosts under the knife.

Rushing into the main hall, Wu Ming shouted wildly: "Philid is there, come out and die quickly!" ”

A large group of heavy cavalry followed, pouring in from the gate, and the dragon marquis shouted: "The rebel thief Wen Feijie has already been given the head, and those who surrender will not be killed, and the crime of stubborn resistance will be added to the first class." ”

He shouted loudly, and there were corpses all over the place, although there were still sporadic battles, but most of them were not forbidden army clothes, and it was obvious that the second prince's faction had the upper hand. Hearing Long Hou shout like this, these people only made a commotion, but immediately a soldier with a leader like a man shouted: "Quick, stop them." "At that moment, a lot of people turned around and attacked.

These people are all soldiers of the second prince, and they can be said to be tolerant of each other, and they can be said to be both tolerant and loss-oriented. Wu Gong's death sounded terrifying, but it was far from the point where they were left without a master. But Wu Ming and Shuanghou are both high-level martial artists, although they are brave, where can they resist? A group of people tore a bloody path when they landed, and a group of people had rushed to the main hall.

The pattern of the Flying Frost Hall and the Inquiry Hall is similar, both of which are dominated by a dome-shaped building, surrounded by high walls. Probably the emperor was afraid of death, so he built such a high wall to take precautions. But although the idea is good, the effect is pitifully small, but if there is something, it can have a defensive effect, and it is just a matter of self-comfort. The entrance to the gate was a square, and Wu Ming led everyone to rush all the way. From a distance, I saw a large group of people fighting endlessly at the entrance of the main hall, and when they got closer, they couldn't help but gasp.

The Flying Frost Hall is very large, and even the doors are not narrow, and the two doors are nearly five meters wide. At this time, the gate had already been knocked open, but there was an elephant corpse lying on the door, and the whole door was half blocked. There were mountains of dead corpses and rivers of blood, and Esther and the Grand Prince were leading several forbidden troops to jump on the elephant corpse base for the final struggle. But there were many enemies, and although they did not retreat, they were outnumbered, and they were already in danger.

From afar, I heard Esther's voice crying as hard as she could: "Second brother, please withdraw from the army, okay?" Please, spare the eldest brother's life......" She cried very miserably, but the second prince didn't hear it, and surrounded the entire gate with a large group of soldiers, and the sword in his hand flashed, and he couldn't leave the important point of the eldest prince.

Fortunately, Xiao Ai is fine! Wu Ming's heart was relieved, and he shouted: "Rush over." The second prince also discovered them, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, but he immediately said sharply: "Stop them." At his command, the surrounding soldiers rushed up.

They didn't have many cavalry, and just now they lost dozens of people in a fierce charge, and now there are about twenty people left. When Wu Ming pulled his horse and rushed to the door of the main hall, except for the Shuanghou who was still protecting him to the left and right, there were only a few riders behind him, and the rest of the people had been swept in by the surging crowd behind him.

Wu Ming raised his sword to knock down the two enemies, jumped on horseback, and the person was already on the elephant corpse, and said loudly: "Xiao Ai, are you okay?" "Reach out and pull her.

Esther was covered in blood and held a long sword that she had snatched from nowhere, and the sword was already stained with blood. The knots in her hair were also broken, and her hair was long gone. Hearing Wu Ming call her, she stopped and glanced at Wu Ming, and said with a reluctant smile: "Brother Amin, you are finally here......"

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Just now, a few people were supported by their last breath, but when they saw Wu Ming coming, they inevitably slackened, especially after Esther stopped, the original impermeable defense was full of loopholes.

The first to have an accident was the eldest prince.

The eldest prince is only a rough martial artist at most, and at this critical moment, he actually has the courage to charge forward, which makes Wu Ming gain a lot of favor. It's just that his target is too big, and most of the attacks are rushing towards him, even if there are a few pro-soldiers around him who sacrifice their lives to protect him, he is still left and right. Fortunately, Esther answered from time to time, and this was saved.

The second prince was already desperate, and when he saw that there was such a loophole, he took care of everything else, and stabbed according to the eldest prince's sword. His sword was already known for its speed, and at this time, it was as fast as lightning when he used it with all his might. The eldest prince only felt a flower in front of him, and then there was a sharp pain in his chest, he took his eyes off the tip of the sword with difficulty, looked up at the second prince, and shouted in pain: "You ......" just spit out a sound, the second prince pulled out the sword violently, and the blood rushed out of his chest, and the eldest prince fell to the sky, and died instantly.

Among the three brothers, the second prince leads the troops all the year round, and the third prince has nothing to do. The eldest prince has the most intersection with Esther because of government affairs and religious matters, and the relationship between the two is also the best. It is precisely because of this palace incident that she stood on the side of the eldest prince without hesitation. When she saw that the eldest prince was killed, she screamed: "Big brother." "Stretch out your hand, and you will help the eldest prince.

Seeing that the sneak attack was successful, the second prince was even more overjoyed. Rushing forward, the long sword in his hand brought a roar, and stabbed at Esther.

Did he kill the red eye?

This kind of change was so fast that even Wu Ming couldn't react. Seeing that the second prince didn't even let Esther go, he was already frightened. Chixiao was like a dragon, and he slammed his backhand at the second prince's long sword, his left hand was secretly spitting, and he pressed his palm towards the left shoulder of the second prince. only heard the sound of "pop", Chixiao happened to hit the sword of the second prince, and the opponent's sword head was crooked, and it had floated to the side. At this time, his left hand was also pressed on the shoulder of the second prince, and the other party made a "wow" and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Wu Ming couldn't help but be stunned, isn't this guy hiding?

The fast sword practiced by the second prince is also very good. Wu Ming's left palm is just a false move, the purpose is just to force the second prince back, if he wants to hide, this palm can't make any merit no matter what.

Before the thought came to mind, the second prince had already taken advantage of the situation to pull Esther, and as soon as his body turned, the person had flashed three feet away, and he put the long sword in his hand to Esther's neck, and shouted: "Stop." ”

His kung fu is not weak, and this time he concentrated on the true qi of his whole body and shouted out, and it was even more sonic to shake the roof tiles. Most of the two warring parties were his people, and when he heard his shout, he naturally immediately retreated and surrounded several people. As soon as the enemy retreated, the few surviving forbidden troops were left with only a breath to breathe, and there was still strength left to attack. The battlefield, which was originally dark, instantly quieted down.

The second prince hijacked Esther, looked at Wu Ming, took two steps back, and suddenly shouted: "Wu Du's martial arts have been perfected, but Xiao Wang's fast sword is also a must, I hope you don't act rashly." ”

Do you dare to move there now? As the second prince said, Estic is in his hands, and Wu Ming does not dare to leave anything to chance even if he is confident in his skills. He smiled bitterly in his heart, but also had a trace of admiration. In this case, the second prince can still be in danger, and he can choke his own death hole, his mind is really as outstanding as his fast sword, and the eldest prince is defeated in his hands, which is really not wronged.

Seeing that Wu Ming was motionless, obviously a rat trap, the second prince breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lang Jiao's second marquis and shouted violently: "Wen Fei and the old thief are hungry for profit, and secretly lurk in the palace to assassinate the first emperor, in order to get away with his bad intentions." The poor emperor was benevolent, and when he was caught off guard, he actually took advantage of it. Jiaolong Erhou heard the news and moved, fought hard for a long time, and finally made the thief Wen be able to confer the head, Xiao Wang thanked the two kindnesses, and wanted to treat them as two dukes, did the two Qing family think so? ”

The Persian emperor actually died? Wu Ming was shocked, but he was also a little lucky. Without the old emperor to blame, there was no more obstruction in the affair between him and Esther.

Seeing that the second prince said impassionedly, if it weren't for his personal experience, I'm afraid he would really believe that he was telling the truth. The two marquis glanced at each other, and seemed to be a little hesitant, and then the second prince said again: "The two marquis, the eldest brother and the Duke of Wen were both poisoned by thieves, and I hope that the two of them will work together with this king for the livelihood of the world to create a prosperous world." ”

The distinction between church and state in Persia is not so stark. The royal family Xerxes ruled Persia for many years, and its rule was already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it was also recognized by the Cult of God. The eldest prince is the backbone of their family. As soon as the two died, Shuanghou naturally had no allegiance. No matter how noisy the two are, it is impossible for them to become emperors themselves, so they can only choose one person to regain their allegiance, and now it seems that this person is none other than the second prince. These words seem to be full of nonsense, but they really grasp the lifeblood of Shuanghou. Seeing that the second prince was sincere, Wu Ming felt a chill in his heart. Gong Wen's face changing technique, he had already learned it in the afternoon, and he thought it was a must, but compared with the second prince, it was almost worthless.
