Chapter 468: Where is the Prince? (1st Update)
Chongzhen looked at his back, sneered disdainfully, he didn't chase after something in his heart, he couldn't beat people and threw down a few awesome words and ran away, he has seen a lot of this kind of person.
"Quick, follow me to the East Palace."
Chongzhen said that a phantom shadow fell on the top of the main hall, and after a moment, his mind disappeared.
Worried about the safety of the prince of the East Palace, in order to save time, Chongzhen also began to jump into the room.
"Hurry up! When you go to the East Palace, what are you still doing in a daze?" Wang Chengen shouted, and the little eunuch and thousands of brocade guards woke up like a dream, holding knives and guns, and came to the East Palace......
The East Palace Compound of the Imperial Palace.
The torches shine like day, and countless brocade guards and soldiers who protect the palace are like a forest of swords and guns, like a great enemy.
Chongzhen descended from the sky, and a phantom appeared in front of the eunuch and the brocade guard.
Wang Sheng, the little eunuch of the East Palace, that face is somewhat similar to Wang Chengen's face, but he is much younger, and his little face is tight, so he quickly kneels down and kowtows.
"See Your Majesty's ......"
The other Jinyi guards and the Ming soldiers present also saluted with swords and guns.
But at this time, these eunuchs and Jinyi guards wondered in their hearts, why did the emperor come, and he came alone, what about the prince and those Jinyi guards?
In addition, why is the emperor so embarrassed?
There are a few holes burned in the body, are they out of the fire? Could it be that there was a fire in the Qianqing Palace......
But I wondered in my heart, how dare I ask.
"Where is the prince? What about the Assassins?"
Chongzhen didn't see the crown prince, nor did he see the assassin, let alone Li Moran's shadow, only Wang Sheng and some brocade-clothed guards.
"Hui Ye's words...... Wang Sheng trembled and kowtowed, "Your Highness...... Taken away by a masked man in white...... Zhou Jing, the guard of the East Palace, and Master Li, they led people to chase after them......
"In which direction?"
"Master, go over there......" Wang Sheng knelt on the ground and pointed to the southeast with his hand, and the rest of the brocade-clothed guards also pointed in the same direction, "Your Majesty, the thieves fled to the southeast......
Chongzhen knew that he was a step too late, so without saying a word, he turned around and flew up to the top of the main hall, and a phantom disappeared into the night sky.
"Your Majesty, take care...... Hurry up and save the driver......" Wang Sheng was still kowtowing on the ground, but these soldiers also wanted to save the driver, where could they keep up?
At this time, Wang Chengen rushed over with people.
The fat body was soaked in sweat, and he gasped and said, "Where is the master?"
Wang Sheng got up from the ground and "went southeast after the thief......
Wang Chengen didn't say a word, and chased the Jinyi guards to the southeast.
Wang Sheng didn't dare to wait here, and followed with a group of brocade guards, Wang Sheng didn't run neatly, and when he passed through the moon gate, he also fell on his heels.
"Father-in-law, be careful."
The two brocade guards in the back, one of them carrying an arm, dragged him up.
But at this time, Wang Chengen and others had already dumped him away, Wang Sheng didn't know martial arts, how could he keep up with his eunuch uncle?
Wang Sheng thought to himself, my uncle is so old and fat, he must have at least 250 pounds, and he runs so fast?
Yes, the emperor taught him martial arts.
If you can ask the emperor to teach you martial arts as well, how good would it be? Fly the eaves and walk the wall, catch the thief in the shadow of the sword and sword, then drag it!
Wang Sheng thought of running faster under his feet, but he had a feeling that he couldn't breathe, and his heart was about to jump out......
Three black shadows in the night sky, passing through the room and crossing the ridge, after leaving the East Palace, they arrived at the Donghua Gate in the blink of an eye.
This is the eastern gate of the Royal Palace.
Now the palace guard is the old horse Gong Yonggu, because of the shortage of soldiers in the city, such a large city only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, and he is a relative of the emperor, and he will be responsible for the security of the palace with a thousand soldiers.
This was arranged when the crown prince was in charge of the country at that time, and the other 3,000 soldiers and generals were mainly to guard the outer city in the south and part of the inner city, and the remaining 1,000 soldiers and horses were responsible for guarding the imperial city.
White Lotus, White Chrysanthemum, and Lu Xiaofeng are bold.
They were ordered by Wu Sangui to sneak into the palace, the target was of course the prince of the East Palace, and when they came, they bypassed these soldiers who were defending the city for fear of startling the snakes.
Now that the crown prince has got it, he didn't take these soldiers guarding the city into account at all, so they went on a rampage, anyway, it was already exposed in the palace, and they didn't care about this.
Therefore, the three of them ran along the main street, like flying arrows, to Donghua Gate.
The gates of the palace are, of course, heavily guarded.
The area around the city gate is empty, and countless dead wind lamps illuminate this place.
The ironclad soldiers defending the city will line up, and there will be officers leading patrols day and night, wave after wave, so how far away the three of them will be exposed.
"Stop! What for?"
The defenders shouted, and the archers aimed at the three shadows, and the other generals also prepared their swords and guns.
The white chrysanthemum didn't care about this and ran forward.
"Shoot the arrows!"
At this time, the commander of the Ming army on duty was a general in the army, and as soon as he gave an order, random arrows rained down on these three people.
But in front of the three innate masters, these stray arrows couldn't play a role at all, as if they had eyes, they avoided them, flew in other directions, and some fell directly to the ground.
"There are assassins, come and catch the thief......
Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
