Chapter 512: Enter the palace to rescue the driver
When the news came that Chu Peijin had led his troops to capture Dongfengyang and continue to attack Dongling City, Luo Zhe, the king of Zhao, and the seventh princess were slowly groping forward in the tunnel.
Previously, they secretly contacted several reliable ministers, and finally contacted Bai Fu, the chief eunuch of the palace, who was responsible for the internal response in the palace, and they quietly entered through the secret passage in the palace, ready to catch them off guard!
Because of the return of King Zhao, the ministers seemed to see hope, so each family selected a group of good guards to temporarily form a team of nearly 100 people, led by King Zhao, and entered the palace through the secret passage.
Receiving the urgent report from the front, King Zhao's eyes flashed with a complicated color!
At the beginning, he expressed his attitude more than once in front of Queen Xishao, and he felt that this time it was Dongling who was not authentic, so if Xishao wanted to do something, he had nothing to say.
However, when he really saw the news that the eldest princess of Dongling was chased and killed by Queen Xishao and fled back to Dongling, and that Dongling had lost two cities in a row, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart!
"Lord Wang, it is most important to regain control of the palace first!"
Liu Xiang, who came with him, persuaded in a low voice.
Dongling and Xishao have not fought in history, you occupy my city, I occupy your city from time to time, these are not as important as the imperial power in his opinion!
If it is a few days later, even the throne will change hands, where will there be a chance to recover the country?
It is an eternal truth that we must first settle inside!
King Zhao took a deep breath, folded the letter again, and then said: "What Liu Xiang said is true, it is this king who has failed to distinguish the priority!" β
Liu Xiang saw that his face was still a little unpleasant, so he said: "Don't worry, as long as the matter in front of you is solved first, we can still negotiate with Xishao afterwards for the lost city, not to mention that Princess Zhao is the princess of Xishao......"
King Luo Zhe's heart sank, and he couldn't help but think of the Seventh Princess who had been inseparable from him for a period of time, and his originally somewhat complicated and unspeakable heart was suddenly replaced by a burst of guilt!
Yes, he only thought about losing the city, but when Dongling occupied the Xishao city, he might have considered that sooner or later all this would have to be returned.
And he, who accepted the affection of the seventh princess, naturally should think more about it for her!
Let's talk about this later!
"By the way, Lord Wang, the eldest princess fled without a fight, according to the minister's opinion, if it continues like now, I am afraid that the rout will become more and more obvious, and it will be ...... then."
King Zhao asked, "According to Liu Xiang's intentions, how should this matter be handled?" β
Liu Xiang glanced at him and sighed secretly!
Dongling's capable and courageous prince is gone, and King Zhao rarely participated in political affairs before, and now letting him take charge of himself is tantamount to chasing ducks to the shelves - difficult!
However, there was no other way for him!
Now the eldest living prince of Dongling is King Zhao, the seventh prince was originally smart and clever, and his sensitivity to political affairs was stronger than that of King Zhao, but since ancient times, no generation of emperors has been a cripple.
In addition to them, the Nine Emperors and the Eleventh Princes are too young, if they are cultivated as adults, I don't know what year and month they will have to wait, but now Dongling is being stirred up by the eldest princess, and they can't wait that long!!
The more Liu Xiang thought about it, the more he felt a headache, and he even felt that the gray hair between his temples seemed to have another layer in an instant!
"Lord, if you can, the minister naturally suggested sending a general to pick up Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, but now that the emperor is under control and cannot make an order, I am afraid that only by solving the crisis in the palace can he have a chance to turn around."
King Zhao glanced at him, pursed his lips and nodded silently.
Speaking of which, he still has to touch into the palace to rescue his father and obtain that supreme right, otherwise no matter how many thoughts he has in his heart, it will be in vain!
King Zhao felt as if he understood a truth!
"Everything depends on Liu Xiang's words!"
After King Zhao said this, he took the lead in striding forward, and in the shadowy candle flames, a light and urgent footstep gradually sounded in the secret passage!
This secret passage is said to lead to an abandoned Buddhist hall in the palace, which was built by the ancestor queen for her eldest daughter who died young, and later after the ancestor queen died, the queen mother made people seal that place because she did not deal with her, and since then this place has gradually become less popular with people!
The chief eunuch Bai Fu was anxiously waiting for the appearance of King Zhao and others in the Buddha Hall!
Tonight, he had to work hard to avoid those people and sneak here, if he was discovered, I am afraid that not only would he not be able to save the emperor, but even King Zhao and his own lives would have to stay here!
For fear of attracting the attention of others, Bai Fu did not light the lamp, and by the bright moonlight outside, he secretly glanced out the window from time to time, and then at the wall under the Buddha hall - the exit of the tunnel was there!
Suddenly, a slight knock sounded, Bai Fu's heart jumped, and he hurriedly rushed over to listen carefully. Soon, another sound of three long and two short percussions came into his ears, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly went over to press the hidden mechanism under the Buddha statue.
As a few subtle sounds sounded, a beam of light shone out from inside, and when Bai Fu saw the face of King Zhao in the middle, he couldn't help but cry!!
That's great! The prince is really fine, he is really fine!
"The slave has asked the prince to say goodbye!" Everyone was about to walk out of the secret passage, and Bai Fu couldn't help but pounce at the feet of King Zhao, "Lord Wang, if you don't show up again, the emperor is afraid that he will ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it anymore! β
King Zhao's heart tightened when he heard this, and his eyes turned red!
He personally pulled Bai Fu up and said, "Don't say more, today's credit for your achievements is in my heart, as long as you can rescue your father and regain control, your benefits are naturally indispensable!" β
Bai Fu wiped a handful of tears and said: "The slave doesn't want any benefits, as long as the prince can save the emperor, the slave can be blinded even if he dies!" β
Bai Fu followed his father when he was a child, King Zhao was very clear about this matter, and when he said this, King Zhao couldn't help but be moved in his heart!
Liu Xiang comforted a few words on the side, and hurriedly arranged the next task, and the group quietly touched the residence of those people in the Five Tigers Gang under the leadership of Bai Fu!
According to Liu Xiang's meaning, they must quietly kill those people one by one in order to have a chance to rescue the emperor!
King Zhao and Liu Xiang were guarding not far from Taichen Palace, and the emperor was trapped inside!
King Zhao glanced at the people who were following him, and at the same time, he was extremely nervous and at the same time inexplicably had a sense of excitement in it, as long as everything went well......
The sound of swords clashing sounded nearby, and soon someone was heard shouting, "Someone-"
King Zhao looked at the dozens of people who ran out of the Taichen Palace in surprise, and was suddenly speechless nervously! It turns out that he is still too naΓ―ve?
I really didn't expect that the Five Tigers Gang would arrange so many people inside!!
