Chapter Eighty-Five: The Man in the Black Robe
called Qiu Zixuan, and the eighth princess who left the palace happened to meet Han Gonggong and Wang Tian on the way to the old emperor's bedroom.
Han Gonggong's eyes lit up, and he walked to the side of the Eighth Imperial Maiden: "Your Highness is going to meet Your Majesty, and the two of them also have something to discuss with Your Majesty, so they are just going together!" ”
The Eighth Imperial Maiden looked around reflexively, but it was only that it was not Xia You beside her, but Qiu Zixuan.
She didn't object, so Gonggong Han and Wang Tian followed behind her.
It was the sunniest time of the day, and the surrounding bushes showed a tired posture under the scorching sun.
When he arrived near the old emperor's bedroom, Gonggong Han suddenly stopped.
"Your Highness, wait a minute, something seems wrong!"
Under his reminder, Wang Tian also noticed something different, he was on his ears, and heard someone running around him, the speed of the sprint was not fast, but the footsteps were heavy, it seemed to be the Imperial Forest Army.
Regardless of whether the Imperial Guards are coming for themselves and others, it is not a good thing to confront the Imperial Guards with insufficient preparation.
"Let's go!" At the urging of Han Gonggong, Qiu Zixuan picked up the Eighth Princess.
The three of them were about to speed up their journey and leave the place, but the next moment, three figures blocked their way.
"Why is Her Royal Highness the Eighth Emperor in such a hurry to leave?" It was one of the three who spoke, and he was also the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, which was the direct force of the emperor.
The remaining two of the three, one is a good hand in the army, and the other is a good hand in the academy.
"Tian Jia, Geng Yi, Ou Bing, what do you want to do!" Gonggong Han asked sharply, "Do you know the sin of attacking His Highness!" ”
"We just want Her Royal Highness the Eighth Emperor to stay here honestly."
"Who gave you the guts!"
In the battle for the throne, it is a common rule not to take action against the crown prince himself.
"This doesn't have to worry about Grandpa Han."
"The succession of the Eighth Imperial Daughter is already a sure thing, why do you bother to ......" Gonggong Han planned to move him with affection and drive him to benefit, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted.
"Don't talk nonsense, you can leave today, the Eight Imperial Maidens stay!"
Knowing that the other party was bent on leaving the Eighth Imperial Maiden, and looking at the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army who had already run over and surrounded him and others, Han Gonggong struck Qiu Zixuan with a palm.
That chapter was a soft palm, and Qiu Zixuan only felt a force to lift herself and the Eighth Imperial Maiden in her arms and send them outside the encirclement.
"Go to Your Majesty, they don't dare to do it by Your Majesty's side!" Han Gonggong and Wang Tian met the three enemies, and the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army took off their bows and arrows on their backs and pointed them at Qiu Zixuan and the Eight Imperial Maidens.
There are fifty people in the Imperial Forest Army and fifty arrow feathers, and Qiu Zixuan has no confidence to dodge, especially when she is still holding the Eighth Imperial Maiden in her hand.
"Bold! How dare you point your arrows at the royal family! Han Gonggong's voice sounded again.
Pointing a bow and arrow at the royal family is already a matter that can kill the head, and if it is shot, it will punish the three clans. The soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army hesitated, and the bows in their hands were loosened.
Qiu Zixuan immediately took the Eighth Imperial Maiden and ran towards the old emperor's bedroom.
"Xia You, that guy will come to the rescue soon." Qiu Zixuan comforted the Eighth Imperial Maiden with a face like a blank sheet of paper.
"Hmm." The Eighth Empress answered.
Qiu Zixuan's speed was not fast, especially with the Eight Imperial Maidens, the Imperial Forest Army was chasing after them, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
"Turn left next to it, and the garden will pass through there!" The Eight Imperial Maidens led the way.
Qiu Zixuan then entered the garden and quickly passed through the bushes and flowers. This garden is the garden of the old emperor, and the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army dare not step on it, so they can only honestly walk the winding path.
Taking advantage of the convenience of the garden, Qiu Zixuan finally entered the old emperor's bedroom with the Eighth Imperial Maiden before the Imperial Forest Army caught up with her.
The Imperial Forest Army really stayed outside the hall and did not dare to enter.
Everything remained the same in the dormitory, the old emperor was lying on the bed, and the old eunuch was standing beside him.
Getting down from Qiu Zixuan's hands, the Eighth Imperial Maiden quickly ran to the old emperor's bed.
"Father, the Imperial Guards outside are crazy! They actually hunted down and killed their sons! ”
The old emperor reached out and touched the hair of the Eighth Imperial Maiden, revealing a kind smile: "I know. ”
Qiu Zixuan stretched out an alarm in her heart, and she rolled to the side, avoiding the attack of the old eunuch.
The old emperor glanced at it, moved his palm down, and stroked the cheek of the Eighth Imperial Maiden, his palm was very strong, and the Eighth Imperial Maiden's cheek was painful.
"I told them to do it."
For the first time in her life, the Eighth Imperial Maiden felt the biting cold.
……
……
The Palace of the Eight Emperors, the small courtyard of Xia You.
Looking at the information sent by the little eunuch, Xia You and Zong Ziming glanced at each other in shock.
The information said that the fifth prince was conducting medical experiments with the help of the Black Earth Sect and the medicinal materials he had looted before, and there were signs that the people in his palace were often in contact with the old emperor's cronies and the only old eunuch who refused to join the eunuch party.
Although Xia You had already talked about the end of the mission, he didn't expect this change to be so big.
They actually want to cure the old emperor!
"Damn, he doesn't think about how to be the emperor himself, what kind of father to save! Is it so filial! Zong Ziming pinched the bridge of his nose, his eyes rolled, and he was thinking about countermeasures.
"The Eighth Emperor Maiden has gone to the old emperor, get her back first!" Xia You led Zong Ziming, Suo Junchu and Zhuo Ai and hurriedly walked outside the hall.
When they reached the outside of the temple, they found themselves surrounded.
It was not the army that surrounded them, but men in black robes.
Zong Ziming's hand lit up with fire, Suo Junchu took out his spear, and Zhuo Ai also summoned his bat.
Zong Ziming waved his hand, and the fire dragon flew out, and the black-robed people were all good at martial arts, and they avoided the fire dragon.
Zong Ziming's ultimate kill count - 0
Just when Zong Ziming was embarrassed, the black-robed people looked at the open space where the fire dragon disappeared and shouted: "It's a miracle, a miracle, the power of the gods!" ”
So saying, they all knelt down and kowtowed to the clearing.
“……”
"Hahaha, in fact, I'm mentally attacking." Zong Ziming said proudly.
"Then you go on, you control it, I won't rob your head." Zhuo Ai pouted.
"No problem, watch me bring another fire dragon and make them defect to our camp." Zong Ziming already understood that most of the black-robed people in front of him were a religious group, and it was best for religious people to deceive.
But before he could act, the black-robed people on the ground fell to the ground one by one.
There was only one black-robed man left on the field.
Zong Ziming was stunned, he hadn't done it yet, why did he fall?
He looked at the last remaining black-robed man, thinking that one was also meat, so he stepped forward to fool around.
Before he could speak, the black-robed man knocked him down with a punch.
Suo Junchu jumped and stabbed the black-robed man with a flying spear, but only poked the black-robed man's hood.
Underneath the hood is the face of a middle-aged man, striking his eyes, which are blood-colored.
When his gaze met the blood-colored pairs, Suo Junchu felt a huge terror, as if he had turned ten times the Ferris wheel at ten times the speed, and his consciousness was blurred for a while.
Knock –
Suo Junchu fell to the ground, and Zhuo Ai fell at the same time.
