Chapter 454: Stalemate
The palace was in a hurry, and Luo Licheng's cronies were searching around with several teams of soldiers.
"Listen, search for me carefully, don't let any of them go!"
In the imperial dining room, Xia Zhixue shrank in the rice jar with a solemn expression. Now, Luo Licheng is plotting against him, and almost the entire palace has been controlled by him, and the royal family is afraid that there will be more than one bad luck, and Ouyang Huaiyu must not have anything to do. However, there are Luo Licheng's people everywhere outside, and they are heavily guarded, and it is not easy to escape.
"A few of you go to the imperial dining room to search, and the rest will follow me over there, and if you see the guards of the royal family, you will be killed!"
"Subordinates obey!"
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, rapid and disordered, Xia Zhixue, who was squatting in the rice jar in the imperial dining room, listened to the rice jar, there were about seven or eight people coming, "bang bang bang" sundries were overturned everywhere, the movement was getting closer and closer, Xia Zhixue was worried and had cold sweat on her back.
"Go, open that clay jar and check it out!"
Xia Zhixue subconsciously grabbed a handful of rice, and was about to fight to the death when there were a few screams outside, and there was no movement.
Then, the lid of the rice cylinder was knocked, "Xue'er, it's me, don't be afraid!" ”
As soon as Xia Zhixue heard it, she knew who was coming. She pushed open the lid and saw the hateful and loving face, he was fine, it was really good.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, it turned out that those people were put down by Ouyang Huaiyu just now. "Huai Yu, do you know about the mutiny in the palace?"
Ouyang Huaiyu nodded and took Xia Zhixue out of the rice tank, "Zhixue, I was bad before, forgive me, okay?" It's dangerous in the palace right now, and I have to take you out immediately. ”
"Hmm!" There is a kind of peace of mind called Ouyang Huaiyu.
"Follow me, I, Ouyang Huaiyu, will protect you well!"
Ouyang Huaiyu was vigilant against the surrounding enemy situation and did not dare to be careless.
An hour ago, a letter from the spies he had placed next to Luo Licheng was that Luo Licheng was secretly transferring troops into the palace with the intention of rebelling. That kind of chaotic minister and thief are in a hurry and can do everything. He quickly ordered troops and mobilized the Praetorian Guards to rescue the driver, and when he was confronting Luo Licheng's people, he found that Xia Zhixue was also in the palace, so he went to look for her, but fortunately he caught up.
On the corridors of the palace, blood stained them.
"Nineteen princes, it's not good! The emperor and Princess Laiyang were imprisoned in the main hall by Luo Licheng! ”
It was Deputy General Li of the Praetorian Guard, whose armor was stained with blood and was not lightly wounded.
"Aren't you Praetorian Guards brave and good at fighting? What did you eat? ”
Ouyang Huaiyu's expression was solemn and solemn, and his eyebrows were dyed with a layer of cold.
"The subordinates are incompetent, and the Praetorian Guards are still a step too late!"
"Let's go!" Ouyang Huaiyang took Xia Zhixue's hand and hurried to the main hall.
The rebels will be broken into thousands of pieces. Luo Licheng, a rebellious minister and thief, your death is approaching.
After more Praetorian Guards entered the palace, they killed all sides, fought bravely, and their combat effectiveness was well deserved, and Luo Licheng's people fought fiercely at this time, and gradually reversed the critical situation, but Luo Licheng took the emperor and the princess hostage first, Luo Licheng saw that the situation was not right, and took the rest of the people to retreat from the main hall and seal the entrance.
In the main hall, Rao was held hostage, and the emperor was still sitting upright, looking at Luo Licheng with sharp eyes.
"Luo Juma, I think I treat you well, but I didn't expect you to be ambitious and covet the throne, I really underestimate you."
"Your Majesty, the prize has been awarded, since ancient times, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain!" Luo Licheng's eyes were weird, evil, and frivolous, "The emperor should not talk nonsense, hurry up and write an edict of abdication and succession, I can see the feelings of the monarch and ministers that day, spare your life!" ”
"Luo Licheng, you bastard! I Laiyang misjudged you, I didn't expect you to be such a villain! Princess Laiyang hissed.
"Laiyang, you slut shut up! Don't think I won't kill you! "Wonderful book
"Give me a good look!" Luo Licheng approached, and the sharp dagger was pressed against Princess Laiyang's throat, surrounded by anger, "Your Majesty, I advise you to hurry up, if you don't want anything to happen to Laiyang!" ”
"You!" The emperor had no choice but to write an edict.
"Hahaha!" Luo Licheng seemed to see himself sitting on the throne, one person under ten thousand people, holding the world in his hands, and strategizing.
"Listen to the people outside, Emperor Laiyang is in my hands, what kind of conspiracy are you playing, their lives are expensive, what is my Luo Licheng's life? It's a big deal to pull two pads on the back, and it's worth it. ”
It's not good, this traitor wants the dog to jump off the wall in a hurry?
The Praetorian Guards were guarding outside the main hall, anxious, eager to talk about Luo Licheng's bones and ashes, but the emperor and princess were all in his hands, and they didn't dare to act rashly.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Ouyang Huaiyu came.
The Praetorian Guard was about to scream, but Ouyang Huaiyu stopped his voice, and he couldn't startle the snake.
The nineteenth prince is brave and strategic, Wen Taowu is strategic, and he is a big celebrity around the emperor, and he suddenly became the backbone.
He was dressed in a blue robe, holding a long sword in his hand, and his eyes were as sharp as a blade.
"Stabilize the morale of the army, we will definitely be able to successfully rescue the emperor and princess!" Ouyang Huaiyu lowered his voice.
In front of the main hall, the corpses are all over the field, there are palace guards, there are rebels, there are palace maids, there are also janissaries, blood is spread all over the hall, the north wind is bleak, and the remnant clouds are concluded.
"Lord Wang, Luo Licheng is forcing the emperor to write an edict of abdication!"
Ouyang Huaiyu organized the combat path of the Praetorian Guard in a very short period of time, how to ensure the safety of the emperor and Princess Laiyang to the greatest extent, and annihilate the traitor Luo Licheng and others in one fell swoop.
His resolute face was solemn, success and failure coexisted, and the risks should not be underestimated.
In the main hall, Luo Licheng held the written edict, ecstatic, looking up to the sky and roaring, fierce and fierce, it was really thirty fame and dust, faintly dormant for so many years, and it was really good to be in power once.
Now, I can finally get my wish.
The corners of Luo Licheng's mouth raised slightly, looking at the emperor and Princess Laiyang, he instantly showed a treacherous and cunning smile, "You guys have no use value!"
What do you mean? Does this mean to kill people?
The emperor's originally calm and calm face was loosened with a hint of panic, the tassel in front of the emperor's crown shook, and Luo Li was treacherous!
"Luo Licheng, you don't believe what you say, a villain like you, even if you become an emperor, it won't last long!"
"Come on, do it!"
As soon as the words fell, the people who held the emperor and Princess Laiyang hostage respectively were about to commit murder when they lifted the dagger.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Before the perpetrator could react, he fell to the ground with a whimper. When Luo Licheng saw the blackened poisonous needles on the necks of the two henchmen, he knew what was going on, and the outside was about to attack, so he immediately poked the dagger at the emperor's life gate and yelled!
"Don't move! Otherwise I'll kill him! Luo Licheng panicked.
The door was broken, and Ouyang Huaiyu led someone to break in and rescued Princess Laiyang nearby.
Although Luo Licheng has less than a hundred people left, there is nothing to fear. But the emperor was in his hands, and it was at an impasse again.
