Although it was daytime, the palace today was exceptionally quiet.

Because the four countries invaded the border before, most of the troops of the Tang Dynasty were transferred to the border to garrison. This time the war with the Li Kingdom came so suddenly, and in a hurry, it was impossible to transfer back the troops on the border.

The Linghui army is strong, and although the Tang army is well-trained, it can only be suppressed by numbers to contain this army with the most advanced weapons.

Therefore, the palace guards were also urgently dispatched to Changqing Plain to participate in the battle.

At this moment, it was the weakest time for the palace guards since Li Shimin became emperor.

Outside the imperial study, a group of black-clothed people were quietly approaching, although they were not many in number, they were all fierce, and they looked like well-trained warriors.

"Kill!" After everyone was in place, the leader gave an order, and this group of mysterious black-clothed people burst out at the same time, kicking open the door of the imperial study and rushing in.

In the room, there was an immediate sound of slashing.

"Bang bang bang!" There was a muffled sound, and the man in black who had just rushed into the imperial study smashed through the window and was blasted out.

The secret guards led by Qinglong protected Li Shimin in the middle and rushed out of the imperial study.

"There are assassins, escorts!" The green dragon held a long sword and roared loudly as he fended off the assassins who rushed up to him in a frenzy.

The surrounding palace suddenly heard the movement here and immediately came to support.

"Two teams and three teams, solve the reinforcements, and the rest follow me and kill Li Shimin!" Seeing the escort of resources rushing towards the distance, the assassins were not afraid of danger and commanded in an orderly manner.

I saw about twenty black-clothed assassins pulling out crossbow arrows and shooting at the palace guards. The guards were caught off guard and fell in pieces.

Crossbow arrows, short knives, well armed. Attacking its leader, lightning killing, and amazing combat effectiveness, isn't this the way the Falcon Squad fights?

Li Shimin frowned at the second use of the secret guard.

There weren't many palace guards today, and the Assassins' combat effectiveness was too amazing, so they quickly eliminated the reinforcements of the guards.

Although the Dark Guards are brave and good at fighting, there are too many people at the moment, and they are well-equipped. The dark guards were also caught off guard, and they could only grit their teeth and hold on.

"The fifth and the sixth, you will escort Your Majesty to the front hall with me, and the rest will be cut off!" Qinglong gritted his teeth, brandished the long sword in his hand, and slashed the three black-clothed men to the ground in a row. Retreat with Li Shimin towards the front hall.

Passing through the Imperial Garden, I suddenly saw more than a dozen black-clothed people surrounding me.

"Haha, I guessed you would go from here! Brothers, the time has come to get rich! The black-clothed man in the lead laughed and rushed towards Li Shimin.

At this moment, there were only three people left in the dark guard, and the situation was quite critical in the face of more than a dozen well-trained black-clothed assassins.

"Father, don't be surprised, the son is here!"

With a loud shout, Li Su suddenly came out with more than 100 soldiers, all of them fully armed, heavily armoured, and their combat effectiveness was amazing.

The black-clothed assassins were blinded by the support of this divine soldier descending from heaven, and more than a dozen of them were in different places at this moment, and blood stained the land of the Imperial Garden.

Li Su smiled and walked quickly in front of Li Shimin: "The son-in-law escort is late, father, you are frightened!" ”

Li Shimin's face did not change much: "The emperor's escort is meritorious, and he came at the right time." What is the origin of these Assassins? He was able to sneak into the inner courtyard of the palace quietly! ”

Li Su was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Look at their equipment and tactics, they are like Li Hao's falcon squad!" ”

"I see!" Li Shimin nodded suddenly in realization: "I heard that Lu Guogong said that the Falcon Squad is elusive and is the best at killing the head of the enemy, and today I saw that it really deserves its reputation!" ”

"This Li Hao wolf son is ambitious, he says that he will fight a fair war with us, but he secretly sends an assassination assassin to assassinate his father! It's shameless! ”

Li Shimin was noncommittal, looking at the corpse of the assassin on the ground.

Li Su was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "Father, the falcon team is elusive, I don't know how many more parties there are in this palace, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go to the front hall to settle down first!" ”

"What the emperor said is very true, let's get out of here first!" Li Shimin smiled slightly, and led two secret guards all the way to the front hall.

At this moment, more than a thousand soldiers and generals have gathered in the front hall, but they look at their faces and do not look like palace guards.

Chen Shutai and a group of ministers have been waiting here for a long time.

"Chen Aiqing, why are you here?" Li Shimin was slightly stunned.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have just received a secret report, and a group of unidentified assassins suddenly appeared in the palace, and we are worried about Your Majesty's safety, so we brought someone to escort you!"

"Where's my guard?" Li Shimin looked at the guards behind Chen Shutai and asked.

Chen Shutai smiled slightly: "Isn't there an assassin just now?" The minister sent them to investigate the remnants of the Assassins! ”

"Chen Aiqing, you are really careful!" Li Shimin said with a sneer, his tone a little weird.

"Your Majesty has praised it!"

Li Shimin glanced at Li Su, who was smiling brightly beside him, and didn't notice any difference in the situation at all, and couldn't help but sigh, what a fool, he was sold, and he was so happy!

Li Shimin remained silent and sat down.

"Chen Aiqing, you brought so many people to escort you, I am very relieved, but so many people have captured a few assassins, is it a bit too trivial? Could it be that there is something else going on in this palace? ”

Chen Shutai smiled and nodded: "Holy Wisdom!" The situation is urgent. There are many people who want to take advantage of Li Hao's rebellion and prepare to make trouble! ”

"Oh? Chen Aiqing seems to mean something? Let's make it clear! Li Shimin said with a sneer.

Chen Shutai stepped forward and said loudly: "Said it has been ascertained!" Someone secretly deployed troops to be stationed outside Chang'an City, preparing to take advantage of the opportunity of the Tang Dynasty to deal with Li Hao and raise troops to make trouble! ”

"Who is it, who is so bold!" As soon as Li Su heard this, he immediately couldn't sit still, and jumped up directly and shouted.

Seeing that he has made great achievements, he will soon be able to inherit the position of the crown prince justifiably, but someone dares to rebel at this critical moment, how can he bear it?

What about mercenaries outside the city? He also has 30,000 Blackwater Iron Cavalry ambush soldiers, which can be used at this time!

Now that the Chang'an garrison has been transferred to the front line, it will be difficult to return for a while, so you can take this opportunity to make a great contribution in front of Li Shimin!

Li Su was imagining a better future when he saw a guard rush into the front hall.

"Your Majesty! The east gate of Chang'an is in an emergency, and the Black Water Iron Cavalry is rebelling and is storming the city gate! ”

"What!"

Li Yu screamed: "The Black Water Iron Horse rebelled? No...... It's impossible, the Black Water Iron Cavalry is the prince's personal guard, how can they rebel and attack the city? ”

"His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, Your Majesty has always treated you well, how can you take advantage of Li Hao's rebellion to raise an army to rebel? Do you want to force Your Majesty to pass it on to you and let you inherit the unification? ”

Chen Shutai sneered and shouted.

Li was stunned and looked at Chen Shutai with a look of surprise.

"You...... What are you talking about, Master Chen? How could I make a rebellion, didn't we go into the palace today to protect my father? ”

"Li Su, Li Su, I am famous, how could I give birth to a fool like you!" Li Shimin went down a little Karui and scolded sharply.

Li Su was shocked, looking at the smug smiles on Chen Shutai and Li Bufan's faces, he finally came back to his senses.

He's been tricked!

"It's you, you dare to lead the Blackwater Army to attack Chang'an in the name of this prince!"

Li Su pointed at Li Bufan and scolded loudly.

Li Bufan also lost his usual flattery at this moment, and said with a sneer: "His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, you have finally seen through the plan of your subordinates!" ”
