Yu Tianzheng came out of the innermost place, and the guards rushed inward from the outside, and the lights of the hall were swaying by all kinds of collisions. In the flickering light, Yu Tianzheng and the two forces inside and outside the guards surrounded the imperial guards and trapped them in the open space in the center of the main hall. Seeing that the situation was not right, Shangguan Hong hurriedly found a way to retreat. Before the front and back roads were blocked, he found a gap and rushed to the door of the main hall under the cover of the guards who were fighting in vain with the guards, and even escaped from the main hall smoothly in the chaos.

Seeing Shangguan Hong running out of the main hall, Yu Tianzheng immediately shouted: "Go and stop Shangguan Hong, don't let him run away!" ”

When the bearded middle-aged strong man at the head of the guards heard the shout, he immediately cut down the nearest imperial guard with a knife, called the two guards closest to him, and turned around and ran outside the hall to chase Shangguan Hong.

All the corridors or aisles outside the main hall were lit with a lot of lanterns to illuminate the way, and even at night, they could see the direction of Shangguan Hong's escape at a glance by the bearded people who chased it out. After Shangguan Hong ran out of the main hall, knowing that someone was chasing him behind him, he didn't dare to run forward quickly without the slightest hesitation. Relying on his familiarity with the terrain of the palace, he was able to distance himself from his pursuers at first, but after a while, the distance quickly shortened.

The bearded three of them chased after each other step by step, and they were about to catch up with Shangguan Hong, but they saw Shangguan Hong dodge and run into a courtyard with lights. The bearded man was about to chase in, but he saw a group of Northern Barbarian men wearing armor and holding strangely shaped and large weapons turn out of the courtyard gate.

As soon as the northern barbarians got out of the hospital, they rushed straight at the bearded men. The bearded man hurriedly raised his sword to meet the enemy, although a few of them followed Yu Tianzheng to fight against the Northern Barbarians many times, but in the case of the enemy being outnumbered and the other party was still obviously going to put a few people to death, the few people who were weak soon were at a disadvantage and fell into a state of bitter fighting.

Seeing that a few people were about to be defeated by a group of Northern Barbarians, a group of ironclad soldiers suddenly rushed over from one direction and caught that group of Northern Barbarians off guard.

The bearded men recognized the ironclad soldiers who came to the rescue as Zhan Qi's soldiers. With reinforcements, the bearded men were immediately shaken, and the situation that they were originally at a disadvantage was quickly reversed, beating a group of northern barbarians. Seeing that their side had no chance of winning, some of the northern barbarians voluntarily abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and some stubborn ones were unwilling to surrender and fight to the death. Those who surrendered were captured by the ironclads, and those who did not surrender were all killed on the spot.

The ironclad soldiers and the bearded men cooperated seamlessly, and soon solved a group of northern barbarians. At this time, Di Zhan Qi also led a team of elite soldiers in this direction.

Zhan Qi saw the corpses of the Northern Barbarians lying on the ground from a distance, and the Northern Barbarian captives who were captured by the iron armor. However, after glancing at the scene, he turned his gaze to the bearded man. He walked quickly to the bearded man and asked, "Where is Your Highness?" What happened to His Highness? ”

The bearded man clenched his fists and replied, "General Hui, Your Highness and a group of guards are fighting against the imperial guards in the main hall, and the main hall should have been occupied by now." ”

Zhan Qi said to the bearded man, "Then we will go over and join His Highness now." ”

The bearded man said: "General Zhan, you go first, and we are still going to hunt down Shangguan Hong." ”

"Shangguan Hong?" Zhan Qi frowned and asked, "Did he escape?" ”

The bearded man pointed to the gate of the courtyard in front of him, and said, "The last general chased him here to catch him, but he ran inside, and then this group of northern barbarians rushed out to attack us." Fortunately, the general appeared in time, and the last general and others were able to get out of danger. ”

"Shangguan Hong ran inside?"

Zhan Qi glanced up at the plaque on the gate of the courtyard, and the big words "Kunkang Palace" on the plaque flickered in the light of the light, giving rise to a somewhat weird feeling.

Kunkang Palace is where the emperor's eldest son, Yu Tianfu, lived when he was still the prince. The eldest son of the emperor was deposed as the crown prince and renamed the queen, and he was supposed to move out of the palace to his fiefdom, but because of the queen's reasons, he did not move out of Kunkang Palace.

This time, Yu Tianjun rebelled and seized power, and the eldest son of the emperor in the palace was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of it. Zhan Qi thought for a moment, withdrew his gaze from the plaque and said to the bearded man, "I'll go in with you!" ”

Then, he turned around and named out a few ironclad soldiers, and said, "You come with me, and the others will be in place and wait for orders!" ”

After the arrangements were made, Zhan Qi led a few ironclad soldiers and bearded men to Kunkang Palace together. All the lanterns in the palace were still lit, and they rustled against the walls or pillars when they swayed in the wind in the dark night, but apart from this rustling sound, the whole palace seemed to be strangely silent as if there was no one, and no other noise could be heard.

Afraid that there would be an ambush inside, Zhan Qi ordered everyone to gather together and act together. Of all the rooms in Kunkang Palace, only the main room had a light shining through it, and the other rooms were pitch black. Zhan Qi and the bearded man glanced at each other, and at the same time slowed down and walked towards the main room.

When I walked to the door, I couldn't hear any sound inside. Zhan Qi shouted into the room in a loud voice: "And the prince, are you inside?" ”

There was no response.

Zhan Qi glanced at the bearded man, who immediately stepped forward and slammed the door open.

After the door was pushed open, the scene in the room made everyone present gasp involuntarily. What Zhan Qi and the others saw turned out to be the emperor's eldest son, Yu Tianfu, and the third prince, Yu Tianjun, who fell to the ground behind the door, bleeding all over the ground.
