Chapter 174: Bloody Battle in the Palace (Part II)

Rushing into the ranks of the forbidden army, Ling Muyun was not busy making a move on the guards of the forbidden army beside him, he rushed through the gap between the guards of the forbidden army, and rushed to the front of those archers who retreated, although he relied on the human shield this time and rushed to the front with the rain of arrows, but he didn't dare to guarantee that he would have such good luck every time, it was better to clear it first for such a threatening existence.

Although the archers' long-range attack was powerful, when it came to close combat, it was scum, seeing Ling Muyun, a fierce god, pounce on him, those archers were also a little panicked, and they threw down the longbows in their hands one after another, and drew the sabers on their waists to resist. In fact, everyone in the march has also considered the problem that the archers will fall into passivity once they are bullied by the enemy in the actual battle, so each archer is a bow and knife double match, shooting with a bow and arrow from a distance, and once the enemy rushes to the front, he will use a waist knife to face the enemy, so as to increase the archer's battlefield survivability.

But even so, it can't hide the fact that the archers in these forbidden armies were selected into the forbidden army because of their excellent archery skills, and aside from archery, in terms of personal force, most of these archers are not as good as ordinary Praetorian guards. And because the training he received was all in the use of bows and arrows, and he rarely trained in close combat, he was far from being as well-trained as other Praetorian guards when facing close combat, and only knew how to fight alone. But in this way, how could they be Ling Muyun's opponents?

Ling Muyun rushed into the ranks of archers like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and these archers who made temporary cameos as long sword soldiers were a joke in his eyes. The long sword waved and bloomed, the sword light was like a waterfall, and the sharp sword qi swept out wantonly, at this time, the long sword in Ling Muyun's hand seemed to turn into the sickle of death, every time the sword light flashed, there would be a forbidden army archer screaming and falling, turning into a dead corpse, although these archers resisted desperately, but under Ling Muyun's hands, they were as fragile as a lamb to be slaughtered, no matter how they struggled, they couldn't get rid of the arrival of death.

The other forbidden guards naturally couldn't watch Ling Muyun kill and slaughter their companions, and rushed towards Ling Muyun one after another, wanting their companions' surnames to be rescued from the hands of Ling Muyun, the fierce god.

It's just that things are not as simple as they thought, because the archers were killed by Ling Muyun in a big mess, and under the impact of the panicked archers, even the guards of the forbidden army who had newly joined the battle circle could not maintain the original solemn formation, and could only choose to fight separately, and the teamwork ability that Ling Muyun feared the most could not be brought into play. Ling Muyun immediately showed his might, his body shuttled through the crowd like a swimming dragon, and the long sword drew a Dao Sen cold sword light, reaping the vivid surnames one after another.

However, the number of guards of the forbidden army is too much, hundreds of elite sergeants, even with Ling Muyun's martial arts, it is not so easy to kill them all, not to mention that his situation at this time is not good, the repeated fierce battles have consumed a lot of his internal strength, and the injuries on his body are becoming more and more serious, and his originally agile and swift body is gradually slowing down.

At this time, there was suddenly a fierce knife wind slashing towards Ling Muyun's back, Ling Muyun's heart froze, his body turned his knife drippingly, and when he looked back, he saw that the person who attacked behind was the leader of the forbidden army. I can't see that this person is not only commanding, but also his martial arts are not bad, although it is a little worse than the dead Ruidong and Duolong, but it is much stronger than the few imperial guards who led by Duolong before and finally died under his sword.

A cold glint flashed in Ling Muyun's eyes, and as soon as his body turned, a sword light stabbed towards the leader of the forbidden army, the so-called snake has no head, no bird, no head, no flight, as long as the leader of the forbidden army can be killed, this forbidden army will have no backbone and commander, and it will be much easier to deal with it.

"Hugh wounded my general!" Suddenly, two Forbidden Army guards stopped in front of the leader of the Forbidden Army, blocking Ling Muyun's way.

"Death to those who stand in my way!" Ling Muyun's eyes sharpened, and the long sword instantly split into two sword lights, stabbing into the throats of the two people blocking the way like lightning, and the two of them flew out. With Ling Muyun's martial arts, there was no possibility for these two people to stop Ling Muyun at all.

Unexpectedly, Ling Muyun had just picked out the two forbidden army guards when he felt a fierce sword wind rushing towards him, but it was the leader of the forbidden army who took advantage of the opportunity of Ling Muyun's ability to pick and kill the two people, and his strength had weakened. Ling Muyun's gaze froze, his body slightly dodged the edge, and the long sword in his hand drew a brilliant sword light and stabbed towards the leader of the forbidden army.

The two figures staggered in the chaotic army formation in an instant, the throat of the leader of the forbidden army was slit, blood shot out, and his body rushed a few steps and fell to the ground with a "plop". And Ling Muyun's chest was also cut with a wound that was more than an inch long, and blood gushed out, almost cutting his chest open.

Ling Muyun felt the burning pain in his chest, and his mouth was bitter for a while, if it was in Pingyu, with the martial arts of the leader of the forbidden army, he wanted to kill it, not to mention that it was almost the same as searching for the bag, but now he could only exchange his injuries for his life, which shows how weak he has been at this time. His swordsmanship is still sharp, but the power attached to the sword is getting smaller and smaller, just because the true qi in his body is about to be exhausted, and his body technique will inevitably become sluggish.

Seeing that the archers had almost been killed, and the remaining guards of the Forbidden Army had also become panicked because of the death of the leader, Ling Muyun's heart moved, and he rushed out of the crowd violently, and flew away in the right direction. The guards of the forbidden army wanted to chase and kill, but they couldn't keep up with Ling Muyun's speed at all, and the few remaining archers hurriedly picked up their bows and arrows to shoot, but only a few arrows were sparsely pulled and easily let go by Ling Muyun. When they wanted to continue shooting, they found that Ling Muyun had already escaped from the shooting range, and they couldn't shoot if they wanted to.

…… After getting rid of the pair of forbidden troops, Ling Muyun encountered several waves of forbidden army guards and imperial guards, the number of them was more or less, the more than one wave of forbidden army guards had nearly a hundred, and the less wave was only a few guards, until he rushed through several waves of forbidden army guards, Ling Muyun was able to really kill through the encirclement and jumped out of the encirclement, although it was still very early to escape from the danger, at least it was considered to have broken free from the net laid by the enemy, and the danger was much smaller.

However, at this time, Ling Muyun's situation was also very bad, the true qi in his body was exhausted, and there were more than ten wounds on his body, including knife wounds, gunshot wounds, and arrow wounds, and his clothes were dyed blood, including his own blood, but more of them were the blood of those forbidden army guards in the palace. What's more, he also suffered serious internal injuries, and he had an urge to vomit blood while running.

Ling Muyun knew that he had to find a safe place to rest and heal, otherwise with his current state, he would definitely not be able to kill the palace, and even if he was unlucky enough to be bumped into by the forbidden guards of the brigade, then he would probably really be planted here.

But where do you find this safety? Originally, Mao Dongzhu's Cining Palace should be the first choice, Mao Dongzhu is the queen mother after all, her status is noble, and she is second only to the queen mother Xiaozhuang in this harem, with her protection, she will definitely be able to keep him safe, because unless there is sufficient evidence, even Xiaozhuang, who is the queen mother, and the little emperor Kangxi do not dare to go to Mao Dongzhu, the queen mother's palace, to search for people.

However, it is a pity that because Ling Muyun and Duo Long and the others had just come out of Cining Palace when they encountered him, and they were not far from Cining Palace, so when the forbidden army guards arranged an encirclement to encircle him, they also included Cining Palace in the scope of the encirclement, that is to say, if he wanted to take refuge in Cining Palace, the first thing he had to do was to turn around and rush into the encirclement again, so wouldn't his previous hard work become useless?

Moreover, when there were assassins in the palace, the first thing the guards of the forbidden army wanted to ensure was the safety of the royal members, and the second was to round up and capture the assassins. Therefore, at this time, the guards outside the Cining Palace must have been compensated, and even if he could return to the Cining Palace, it would be difficult to sneak in in front of everyone. Could it be that he could still ask someone to give Mao Dongzhu a message and let her come out and pick him up in person?

He couldn't go to Cining Palace, and he couldn't go to other places as an assassin. Just when Ling Muyun was thinking hard about where to go and couldn't find it, he caught a glimpse of a little eunuch walking by in the distance, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought of a good place to go, that is, the Shangshan Prison where Wei Xiaobao was.

If you want to say that there is still shelter for Ling Muyun in this palace, in addition to those Manchu royal concubines in the palace, there is only Wei Xiaobao. First of all, there is no need to think about those royal concubines or anything, except for Mao Dongzhu, the fake queen mother, the rest of the Manchu royal family must have killed him, an assassin, and it is tantamount to a fantasy to get their protection. So Ling Muyun had no choice but to go to Wei Xiaobao.

With Wei Xiaobao's current degree of favor in front of Kangxi, even the chief of the palace is a few points inferior, and who in the palace guards is not allowed to respect him for three points? With his powerful position, there was no problem in ensuring Ling Muyun's safety for the time being. As for whether Wei Xiaobao was willing to shelter him, Ling Muyun was not worried at all, not to mention that he and Wei Xiaobao always had a little friendship, even if Wei Xiaobao didn't care about his old friends, he was completely sure that Wei Xiaobao had to help.

At this time, Wei Xiaobao had not confided his true identity to Kangxi, and he was still messing around in the palace under the name of Xiao Guizi. This is a crime of bullying the king, it is a crime of losing his head, although with the relationship between Kangxi and Wei Xiaobao, even if Ling Muyun exposes this matter, Kangxi is unlikely to punish Wei Xiaobao, but Wei Xiaobao will never dare to take this risk.

And even if Wei Xiaobao is not coerced by this kind of coercion, with Ling Muyun's martial arts, it is not easy to clean up a Wei Xiaobao? When the time comes, whether it is leaving a dark energy in his body or forcing him to eat poison, he will always be obedient.
