"Oh, the father wants to summon the child?" the eighth prince looked into the eyes of Gonggong Fan and asked, "Didn't you say that the father has been bedridden for many days and is very weak?

Gonggong Fan smiled and responded: "The emperor heard that the Eighth Prince, you have returned triumphantly from the Sui Kingdom. Not to mention how happy I am in my heart, this spirit is suddenly much better, which is not surprising. ”

Saying that, he put down the tea cup in his hand, bowed to the Eighth Prince, and said: "The holy decree has been passed on to the old slave, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince to come to the Taiji Hall on time at noon today, don't let Your Majesty down." The miscellaneous family is now back to the palace to resume their lives. With that, he got up and said goodbye and walked out.

The Eighth Prince looked at the back of Gonggong Fan leaving, and asked Qin Baiyu beside him, "What does the little national teacher think about this matter?"

Qin Baiyu unfolded the gold-lacquered folding fan in his hand with a "sigh", and said with a smile: "Gonggong Fan obviously came over for the first time just now to test whether His Highness is still alive. This old guy has long been in cahoots with the prince and the national teacher, and he is also the chief eunuch in the palace. ”

The eighth prince frowned slightly, and said, "This old slave just passed the word that my father and the emperor are going to meet me and the generals in the Taiji Palace, do you think there is something wrong with this matter?"

Qin Baiyu muttered: "It's really a bit inappropriate, it stands to reason that the emperor is often in the Heart Cultivation Hall on his sick bed now, and it would be fine if he didn't meet there; if he wanted to formally receive His Royal Highness, he should be preaching the prestige of my Great Chu and receiving the Chonghua Hall or Wuying Hall where envoys from various countries came to meet properly, how could he think of the Taiji Palace, which is the most remote and remote place in the palace? We have to go, otherwise it will be a blatant disobedience to the holy order, and the party members of the national teacher and the four princes will have to do something. ”

The Eighth Emperor nodded, "Then we will go to the Taiji Hall on time at noon today and see your father." ”

"But-" Qin Baiyu said, "Your Highness, we must also make a few preparations to prevent fraud among them." ”

The Eighth Prince nodded and smiled. "Even if there is fraud, what can we do? The fourth brother's right arm in the rivers and lakes has been cut off by us, and he is now alone, and we don't need to worry about him at all. As for the prince. Although there is the support of the national teacher, the overall strength is far inferior to ours. It is also their side that suffers. ”

"Your Highness, don't be careless. Qin Baiyu shook the folding fan in his hand and said: "After all, the Imperial City is the territory that the prince has been operating for many years, and there are too many variables for a very small number of people in our group to enter the Great Interior, so far our biggest reliance is the 'Floating Immortal Island', and we have to use this Immortal Island if necessary." ”

"'Floating Immortal Island'. The Eighth Prince shook his head, "No, the 'Floating Immortal Island' flying over the Imperial City will definitely make the people of the entire capital division and the people of the world suspicious, and this prince will immediately be rumored by the world to be a rebellious minister and thief." ”

"Your Highness, we don't have to take the 'Floating Immortal Island' to the palace together. Qin Baiyu said for a long time: "The subordinates mean to inform Liu Shuai and let them let this immortal island be ready to stand by at any time outside the city." In case something happens to us in the Imperial Palace, we can summon it in time. The flight speed of the 'Floating Immortal Island' with all its strength is very fast, as long as it is summoned, it is estimated that it will only take two cups of tea to rush to the sky above the imperial city to suppress those small people. ”

The Eighth Prince is still to be opposed. Qin Baiyu said with a straight face: "Your Highness, now is the critical moment for becoming a king or defeating a king. You also experienced a life-and-death catastrophe last night, and you should understand the cruelty of your life and death. At this time, there is nothing else to worry about, the winner is the king and the loser is Kou, we must do everything we can, otherwise we will not return to Beijing this time. Don't fight for the throne!"...,

The eighth prince hesitated for a moment, and immediately nodded solemnly: "Okay, just do what you said the little national teacher, the matter has come to this point, and we can only go all out and never die." ”

At noon that day, the Eighth Prince led his ten generals and more than 300 personal guards to ride horses to the Taiji Gate of the Imperial City.

This Taiji Gate is the east gate of the imperial city, and you can reach the Taiji Hall after passing through the Taiji Gate.

In front of the Taiji Gate is a huge marble square lined with an inland river that surrounds the imperial city. At this time, a large round boat floated on the river, and a tall and tall tree stood on it.

This ship is the one he saw on the canal through the city when Lu Zhan entered the city last night.

As soon as they entered the Taiji Gate, they suddenly felt that the atmosphere around them was very different, and they saw that thousands of forbidden soldiers with bows and arrows suddenly appeared on the surrounding city walls, and the black arrows were all aimed at the Eight Princes and others below.

"It's not good," Qin Baiyu shouted softly: "Sure enough, there is a fraud, everyone quickly form a formation, protect His Highness, and withdraw." ”

The ten generals immediately formed a circle, protecting the Eighth Emperor in the middle, and the three hundred personal soldiers took the initiative to surround the outermost, and everyone all released the qi to form a solid protective qi cover.

The ten Imperial Tiger Fu generals were all peerless powerhouses in the realm of transforming strength, and all of them had experienced a hundred battles, and their martial arts strength was by no means comparable to those forbidden troops guarding the imperial city.

At this time, the crown prince, the four princes, Yu Binghuo and others led more than a dozen powerhouses of the Transformation Strength Realm to appear on the high walls of the imperial city one after another, and the prince stood proudly at the head of the city and shouted to the eight princes below: "Old eight, are you guilty?"

The Eighth Prince looked up at the crown prince on the city wall, and asked proudly: "Joke, I am the dignified Prince Ying, what is the crime of the commander of the expeditionary force?"

"My father sent you to destroy the Great Sui Empire, and since you haven't completely erased the remnants of the Great Sui Imperial Family, how can you return to Beijing without permission?"

"Don't come to button the king's hat indiscriminately. The eighth prince responded lightly: "Brother Huang, you used the mouth of Gonggong Fan to falsely pass on the holy decree, and deceived the king and many soldiers who have meritorious service with the state to enter the palace. ”

The crown prince raised his head and let out a string of wicked laughter, and he pointed at the eighth prince with his hand: "Old eight." Now that you and my brother have completely torn our faces today, there is no need to bother arguing about who is right and who is wrong. For the sake of you and my own brother, give you a chance to leave a whole corpse, and tell your men to put down their weapons, and don't resist uselessly. ”

The Eighth Prince replied loudly: "Brother Huang, do you think it is possible for us to lay down our arms? How can you be afraid that this group of tigers and fake foxes will scatter bravely?"

The fourth prince urged the prince on the side: "Brother Emperor, why are you talking so much nonsense with him who is about to die? Quickly solve the eighth child and his party together, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

The Eighth Prince turned his gaze to the Fourth Prince. Leng Ran said: "Fourth, there was a strange beast last night, the Brain Eater Demon tried to assassinate this king, and this matter is probably caused by you kid in secret, because only you Prince Rui." Only then did he collude with bandits and alien evil people to insult the dignity of my Great Chu royal family. ”

The fourth prince smiled and admitted: "Yes, it was instructed by this king, I really didn't expect that your life would be so hard, and even such a ruthless beast as the 'Brain Eater' was eliminated by you." But although you can escape last night's sniping, you can't escape today's catastrophe!"

Hearing this, the Eighth Prince laughed arrogantly and said: "Don't say that you used despicable means last night to help this king, even if you lay a net here today, this king and a group of brothers in the expeditionary army can still break through the formation and break the formation to give you and other insights!"

The prince narrowed his eyes and said, "Eighth brother, since this is the case, then don't complain about being a big brother." You and your men must die here today. As he spoke, he shouted at the soldiers on the surrounding city walls, "Shoot the arrows!"

With his order. Thousands of black-tailed arrows shot at the Eight Emperors and the others below.

The Ten Great Transformation Realm generals who were guarding the body of the Eighth Emperor released all the qi in their bodies, forming a huge qi hood to cover everyone in it, only to see the black tail feather arrows flying down from the sky were blocked from the qi hood, and soon a large number of arrows were piled up on the ground in front of the qi hood.

But some of the many arrows that came were shot behind the air hood. It made a terrible sound like a demon's scream.

This voice was extremely harsh, causing a sharp pain in the eardrums, and the three hundred soldiers standing on the periphery couldn't support it at first, and covered their ears with painful expressions.

The top ten generals of the expeditionary force in the inner circle are all top masters in the realm of chemical strength, and they can still support this strange sound, but they also feel very uncomfortable in their ears. It was as if hundreds of steel needles were drilling into the eardrum.

"Oh no, among the archers of these forbidden armies, there is a hidden master of the Transformation Realm who is shooting at us with the top-level 'Three Xiao Zhenyan Bow'. Qin Baiyu said loudly: "Everyone, quickly block your ears with your hands, this kind of sonic attack emitted by the 'Three Xiao Shock Goose Bow' has a terrifying effect, and listening to it will make people lose their minds for a short time." Thus losing the power to react. ”

The generals hurriedly covered their ears with their hands, so that although their ears were not so uncomfortable, the pro-soldiers in the outer circle looked shaky and a little unsupportable.

Lu Zhan remembered that Qin Baiyu said that the "Three Xiao Zhenyan Bow" was exactly what he had said about the same bow that he had taken to the secret workshop of the Yan family in Yunmeng City to trade after the Great Ghost Face Cliff, and the appraiser of the secret workshop at that time showed a shocked look at this strange bow.

Unexpectedly, three years later, at this critical juncture in the battle for the throne, he personally encountered the sonic attack of this strange bow, how could he not make people feel a little embarrassed and impermanent.

However, he was now in the late stage of his transformation realm, so his resistance to sonic attacks was much higher than that of others, and that kind of terrible ghost scream had no effect on him at all.

"It seems that they are using arrows mixed with sound waves to attack the heavens and the earth," Qin Baiyu frowned, and said to Lu Zhan and the others beside him: "No, we can't be completely in a situation of being beaten passively like this, we have to think of a counterattack to crack it." ”

"Let me do it. At this critical moment, Lu Zhan was also in charge, and he said to Qin Baiyu and the others: "You take good care of Your Highness, and I will break this situation." ”

As he spoke, he fired the "Cloud Sweeping Electric Gun" with his backhand, only to see a silver light break through the colorful arrow rain and fly straight into the air, and then shoot dozens of snow-bright lightning bolts in all directions in the shape of a car spoke, and hundreds of archers were suddenly struck by the lightning that jumped by, and they all screamed and fell off the city wall.

Seeing this, the four princes and the crown prince were furious, and they also sacrificed their pseudo-spirit soldiers into the air. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
