Zhou Guangren, the commander of the guards of the Prince's Mansion led by him, waved his hand and made a gesture of hands.

Suddenly, more than a dozen masked black-clothed people suddenly rushed out of the two alleys at the same time, stopping King Chen's carriage.

There were also more than a dozen people who landed on several rooftops and slashed directly at King Chen's carriage with their swords!

King Chen's carriage was split open!

The carriage was split, and those men in black thought that they were going to succeed, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they stabbed at Chen Yongfu who was protected by King Chen!

But the guards of King Chen's Mansion are not vegetarians, how can they let them succeed? Eight people surrounded King Chen and Chen Yongfu. Someone is responsible for responding to an attack from the sidelines, and someone is responsible for responding to an attack from the overhead.

"Don't worry about this king, they don't dare to do anything to this king, they only protect the craftsmen!" King Chen shouted.

"Yes!" The eight of them answered at the same time, and then turned all their attention to the craftsman.

When the more than 20 black-clothed masked people were fighting with the eight guards of the Chenwang Mansion, suddenly, from the corner of the road from the Chenwang Mansion on the side, a large number of Chenwang Mansion soldiers were killed, more than 100 people, and the 20 or so people were surrounded in the heart.

In the winter night, there were few people who came out to walk around, but now seeing this posture, there were no passers-by on the road in an instant, and they all hid in the corners or in the shops with open doors.

When these twenty or so people saw the preparation of King Chen's Mansion, it turned out that it was not only these eight guards, but also so many people, and they couldn't help but panic.

But now that the matter has come to this, they have no other way but to fight their way out of the bloody road. I can only grit my teeth and persevere. When the fight started, he couldn't care about the craftsman.

King Chen was not in a hurry, he just asked people to protect the craftsman, and he snatched the long sword in the hand of a guard, and took the initiative to rush into the melee, fighting with the people of the prince's mansion.

Zhou Guangren didn't expect King Chen to take the initiative, thinking that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could say that he must not hurt King Chen. He himself knows what is involved, once he hurts King Chen, it is equivalent to assassinating the prince. Assassinating a little minion is completely different from assassinating the prince.

If you have the courage to assassinate the prince and fail, there is only one way to die.

But King Chen fought very fiercely with them, and King Chen's kung fu was not weak, and the battle situation was chaotic, so it was impossible to avoid King Chen.

King Chen specially picked Zhou Guangren, who seemed to be the leader, and fought with him for more than a dozen rounds, but suddenly deliberately slowed down, coupled with a slight deliberate shift in his body, the long sword in this person's hand pierced his heart. Zhou Guangren couldn't take it back, and when he hurriedly withdrew his sword, the tip of the sword had already pierced a few inches into King Chen's flesh, and when he saw King Chen's blood, it immediately soaked out of the moon-white cloak......

He was in a hurry to fight just now, and he didn't notice that King Chen deliberately slowed down and deliberately deflected a few points and sent it to the tip of his sword, and thought that he really missed and injured King Chen. I only thought in my heart: "It's dead, it's dead, it's ...... death."

"Your Highness!" Seeing that King Chen was injured, the guards of King Chen's Mansion exclaimed in surprise and fought even harder with these two dozen black-clothed people. In a short time, half of these 20 people had been killed, and the remaining half had been firmly encircled in the heart. Although half of them did not die, they were all seriously injured, and seeing that they could not escape, they did not make a useless struggle.

King Chen did not lift their masks, but commanded: "Tie them all up to this king, and take them to the palace together!" Throw them here if they don't have any breath, and show them to the king, don't let people steal their corpses!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers of King Chen's Mansion responded in unison.

With the rope that had been brought a long time ago, the remaining 20 or so people were tied, escorted by more than a dozen guards, and went to the north palace gate with King Chen.

On the way, Zhou Guangren naturally knew that things were not good. King Chen's injuries can be on his body, once he is in front of the emperor, it is a big crime to assassinate the prince. He is the commander of the guards of the Prince's Mansion, and it is not difficult to find out his identity if you check it carefully. In this way, even if the emperor can let him go, the prince will definitely not let him go.

It doesn't matter if you die, I'm afraid that it will harm my family. I also had the idea of biting my tongue and killing myself, but when I thought about it, even if I died, wouldn't this face still be there? It can still make people distinguish his identity. At that time, the prince was angry, but he was already dead, and he could no longer be angry with him, wouldn't he let his family go?

Therefore it is not feasible to atone for sins with death with his master.

If you are alive, you may still be able to protect your family from disaster. But once he died, his family would definitely die. Maybe there wasn't even a person to collect the body.

Therefore, he gave up this idea of atonement for his sins with death, and had to think about running away.

But there was no chance to escape all the way, and at this time, he had already arrived in Weiyang Palace, and he couldn't get out.

had to bite the bullet and follow King Chen all the way to the imperial study.

The emperor is diligent in government affairs, and at this time he is preparing for war with Lei Guo, even if it is already the time of the year, he is still in the imperial study.

The soldiers of King Chen's Mansion all unloaded their swords, followed King Chen all the way into the palace, and waited outside the imperial study with those who were bound. King Chen first took Chen Yongfu into the imperial study.

"Son-in-law, see father." King Chen's voice was a little weak.

As soon as the emperor looked up, he saw a bright red blood stain on the moon-white cloak on his chest. "What's going on?" he asked. ”

King Chen said: "Don't get in the way, on the way to escort the craftsman into the palace, I met an assassin." Fortunately, in order to prevent mistakes, Erchen had already sent someone to follow. Now the Assassins have been captured by the retainers. The retainers have already brought them and asked them to wait outside the imperial study to wait for their father's fate. ”

The emperor glanced at Chen Yongfu, and did not ask Chen Yongfu first, but said: "Bring people in, I see, who is so bold and reckless?" ”

King Chen felt that there were a lot of people, and said, "Father, there are more than a dozen people." ”

"There are quite a few people," the emperor said, "it's okay, let them in." The door is open, the Imperial Guards and your men are guarding the door, and they dare to do anything to me? ”

"Yes." King Chen answered.

Li Zhonggui was waiting on the side today, and when he saw that King Chen was injured, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the slave will go and pass it on." ”

King Chen nodded, just happy to be idle.

"You sent someone to call the Imperial Doctor again." The emperor instructed Li Zhonggui.

Li Zhonggui answered, and went down to do something.

After a short time, the twelve masked black-clothed men were personally escorted in by the imperial guards. Far away from the emperor, let them kneel at the door, kneeling in a row.

The Imperial Guards stood behind them, just in case.

"Take off their masks." The emperor said.

The four imperial guards answered and took off the masks of the twelve.

"Who sent you?" The emperor asked in a deep voice.

All twelve men bowed their heads, and none of them spoke.

"Prince?" The emperor asked directly.

The heads of the twelve sank even more.

The emperor didn't ask any questions, and ordered a royal guard: "You go, pass the prince to my imperial study." ”

"Yes." The guard answered, and immediately went about it. Another royal guard came in and took his place.

"Third child, you sit down first and wait for the Imperial Doctor to come over." The emperor said.

"Thank you, Father." King Chen clutched his chest and sat on the chair next to him with a slight frown.

The emperor did not ask Chen Yongfu, nor did he continue to interrogate the dozen or so black-clothed killers, but continued to look at a map on the table. It seems that he is waiting for the prince to come.

In the mansion, the prince has already received a report from Zhang Fuhai, saying that Zhou Guangren and they have missed and have been arrested in Weiyang Palace at this time.

was pacing back and forth in the study thinking about countermeasures, and when he was in a state of confusion, he suddenly heard a report from the little maid outside the door, saying that it was - Your Highness, someone from the palace has come.

"Who?" The prince asked in a deep voice.

"He said it himself, it was Lord Lu, the imperial guard next to the emperor."

The crown prince did not know the names of the guards around the emperor, but he recognized their faces. He asked, "It's just a royal guard?" ”

"Yes."

"Send him in and speak." Prince Road.

The little guy answered and hurriedly passed the word.

It's just a royal guard, and there is no holy decree in his hand, so there is no need for him to go out to greet him.

Zhang Fuhai said in a low voice: "Your Highness, at this time, the emperor sent people around him, I'm afraid it's nothing good, right?" Do you want...... The minion said that His Highness was not there? ”

The prince's eyebrows tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "I can't hide from the first day of the first month, but I can't hide from the fifteenth, this world is not the king's land, where can this palace hide?" ”

Why make yourself like a lost dog?

If you are defeated, you must also have dignity.

What's more, isn't it not yet in front of the Imperial Palace? It doesn't have to be that there is no chance of discernment. Think about it, there must be a way, there must be a ......

After a short time, the Lu guards were led to the study by the small servant. He bowed to the prince and said directly: "Your Majesty asked the lower officials to pass the word, saying that he invited His Royal Highness to the imperial study." ”

The prince nodded, didn't ask anything, and said directly: "You go out and wait for a while, the palace will change your clothes, and you will pass." ”

"Yes." Guard Lu replied and respectfully retreated.

After the Lu guards left, the prince really went around to the back room to change clothes. Zhang Fuhai was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. I thought to myself, what do you say, it's all at this juncture, why isn't Your Highness in a hurry?

In fact, the prince is not in a hurry, but he knows that it is useless to be in a hurry.

The more anxious I was, the more I couldn't think of a good way. It's better to calm yourself down and think about countermeasures on the way.

You don't need to ask to know that at this time, Zhou Guangren and the others must be in the imperial study, and his father is looking for him to confront him.

It's just that I don't know if Zhou Guangren confessed, if he confessed, any response he made would be useless. His father didn't trust him in the first place, and now he had a preconceived idea, and it was impossible to believe anything.

Let's just see if I can ask something out of the mouth of this Lu guard......
