Chapter 196: Danger lurks

Qianhu didn't give his subordinates more time to react, so he immediately gave an order.

The thousand-strong forbidden army immediately set off and went straight to the East Palace.

At the same time, the Manichaeans who were already hiding in the capital were also driven to madness by the Jinyi guards who were chasing them everywhere.

The same targets the East Palace, they know it.

Everything comes from Xu Jing, as long as Xu Jing can be killed, maybe this game of cat and mouse can end.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong! Outside the East Palace today, there is an army of 1,000 people coming straight to the East Palace! ”

In the East Palace, waiting for the killer to come up with everything he wanted.

As he expected, there was indeed a foreign enemy lurking in such a dangerous capital that controlled an army of a thousand people.

"A thousand people, can you be sure?"

Xu Jing smiled and looked at Cao Gong and the expressionless Wushi asked.

"Your Highness, the purpose of this army is to rush at us. Even if we are not sure, it is difficult to dodge. ”

Cao Gong said with a wry smile.

"Interesting, it seems that the person behind this is not too stupid. If you target the main palace, there is a chance that you won't be able to mobilize even a hundred people. But if you target the two of you, you can easily dispatch an army of 1,000 people. ”

"It's just that Bengong is very curious, there is no beginning, and he was just released from the prison by Bengong, who can know about this in such a short time?"

Xu Jing chuckled, curious about the person behind the scenes who could grasp the news of the beginningless so quickly.

Cao Gong felt a chill down his spine, and he only felt that the situation in the capital seemed to be constantly changing under a pair of invisible hands, and it seemed that he was about to completely break away from the control of the former emperor and go in an uncertain direction.

"Your Majesty, I am only afraid of danger at this moment, and please retreat to the dormitory as soon as possible. I want to rely on a hundred brocade guards and still be able to resist one or two. ”

"As long as the rest of the forbidden army comes to encircle and suppress, I believe that this crisis will definitely be self-defeating."

Cao Gong urged Xu Jing to return to the dormitory to avoid this murderous opportunity.

"I'm afraid it's too late, they're already here."

Xu Jing looked up with a smile and looked at a group of people in different clothes who appeared not far away.

These people seem to be from the market, all dressed in coarse cloth, and have a thick layer of calluses on their hands.

Clearly, this group was Manichaean.

Their goal is to assassinate Xu Jing.

"Kill this dog emperor!"

With a roar of rage, this group of no less than thirty Manichaeans rushed straight towards Xu Jing.

"Quickly protect Your Majesty!"

Cao Gong and Wushi stood in front of Xu Jing, and at the same time roared at the brocade guards on the eaves.

For a time, half of the hundred brocade guards were responsible for guarding Xu Jing's surroundings, and the rest were generally caught in a fight.

But in a moment, there was an angry roar from outside the East Palace: "Kill the gelding dog and save Your Majesty!"

Such a group of forbidden troops also rushed into the battlefield that was already fighting.

For a while, the situation was chaotic, and the sound of countless flesh and blood colliding with gold and stone sounded.

There was also a wailing and cacophony.

In just a few breaths, the East Palace was already full of stumps and broken arms, and corpses were everywhere.

Still standing in the East Palace, there are only a very few Jinyi guards and Wushi and Cao Gonggong who are covered in blood.

"Up! If you can save Your Majesty, you will be "the hero of my great work!" ”

"In the future, it will not be a dream to become an official and become a knight! Don't you want to have it all? ”

The cold eyes of this group of bloodied brocade guards and Wu Shi and Cao Gonggong, who were like demon gods in the world, frightened the originally high-spirited forbidden army to retreat again and again, and looked at several people with chills.

Qianhu roared behind them, constantly stirring up everyone's nerves.

"Enough, don't stop yet?"

Xu Jing slowly walked out from between the Jinyi guards.

Today, there are less than ten Jinyi guards who can still stand on Xu Jing's side.

Even the vast majority of them were injured and their faces were extremely ugly.

If he faced another big battle at this moment, he would definitely have no more strength to protect Xu Jing.

Xu Jing walked out of the crowd and looked directly at the forbidden army present, shouting angrily.

"Your Majesty has been controlled by them, it is unimaginable! We must kill the rest of the brocade guards before we can protect Your Majesty and comfort you! ”

Seeing the hesitation on the faces of his subordinates, Qianhu continued to shout.

"You still don't understand? From the beginning to the end, I have never been held hostage. ”

"The so-called theory of being held hostage is just a bewitching statement by your superiors. Take it down quickly. ”

The corners of Xu Jing's mouth raised slightly, pointing to the thousands of households hidden in the crowd and shouting.

The forbidden army that originally believed in a thousand households listened to what Xu Jing said, and they were also in chaos for a while, and they didn't know whose orders they should follow.

"Don't do it yet? Do you really want to see Your Majesty being bewitched by this gelding dog and foreign thieves, causing my great cadres to be completely destroyed? ”

Seeing that the morale of his subordinates began to slacken, Qianhu was dying, hoping to turn the situation around again at the last moment.

"Your Majesty must be right, the chief can't say that he is a thief at all!"

In the end, the forbidden army finally woke up under Xu Jing's words, turned around and surrounded thousands of households and escorted them to Xu Jing.

"Tell me, who ordered you to come and assassinate me?"

Xu Jing stepped on the head of a thousand households and asked coldly.

"Winning or losing, does it make sense to say this now? I only hate, I only hate that I can't kill you at the last minute! ”

Qianhu looked up at Xu Jing and sneered.

"Interesting, if you don't say it, this palace can only let you live in prison for the rest of your life."

Xu Jing couldn't help but increase the intensity under his feet, and asked coldly according to Qianhu's head.

"Say what? I don't know who gave it, but I know that this is a godsend, and I will seize this opportunity to kill you! ”

Qianhu raised his head and looked at Xu Jing viciously and said.

"I don't know? I don't know why you want to assassinate me, could it be that I still have such a deep hatred with you? ”

Xu Jing frowned slightly, only feeling that he might really fall into a misunderstanding.

The one who will assassinate himself at this moment is not necessarily a Manichaean or a person with a connection to Manichaeism.

With the behavior of the owner of his body for the first twenty years.

It is very likely that it has offended a lot of people.

And these offended people may also become a knife in the hands of someone who hides in the shadows.

"It seems that Your Majesty really doesn't remember. My father is just a small six-grade official, and my sister is just an ordinary woman. ”

"Three years ago, they all died at the hands of His Majesty. Your Majesty is so forgetful, how can you remember this group of inconspicuous little people? ”

Qianhu stared at Xu Jing with a sneer.

"These things again."

When Xu Jing heard what Qianhu said, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

That's the consequence of this body.

Even if Xu Jing didn't do these things at all, Xu Jing still had to swallow these bitter fruits.

"Let him go. From today onwards, he will be demoted to a commoner, and he will not be allowed to step into the capital for half a step. ”

Since he was not an enemy, Xu Jing had no intention of torturing this person, and said casually.
