Seeing Ah Rui, Xiao Min's color changed instantly, and he glanced at the frost that was following Ah Rui.

Xiao Min didn't worry so much about his safety when he was in the most dangerous battlefield in the Northland, but watching Ah Rui brave the danger to pass through the guards' defense line and come to his side, Xiao Min couldn't think about it, what risks did Ah Rui encounter along the way?

After quickly scanning Ah Rui's surroundings and making sure that she was not injured, Xiao Min breathed a sigh of relief.

A Rui's unexpected arrival made Xiao Min lose patience to slowly wear down King Yu's power. Xiao Min raised his hand to signal Pei Jian. Pei Jian understood and ordered, "All the sergeants listen to the order, and those who kill ten traitors will be rewarded with 100 gold; Those who kill 100 rebels will become centurions; Those who kill the leaders of the rebel party and become officials and knights should not be killed. ”

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men. The Praetorian Guards, who had been terrified before, were simply red-eyed at the moment. They know in their hearts that whether they can be promoted to the rank of knight and turn over and become a master from now on depends on tonight's battle.

Seeing that, the East Palace Janissaries led by the East Palace gained the upper hand and forced back His Royal Highness King Yu step by step. Above the palace wall, an unusual sound suddenly sounded.

Born in a family of Rongma, Wen Zheng, who has been dealing with weapons all year round, was the first to react. Wen Cheng immediately decided, "Your Highness, quickly dodge, it's a crossbowman." ”

In the next second, the palace wall was already full of arrows with bows and crossbows shining with cold light.

With a bang, hundreds of bows and arrows instantly left the string and rushed straight towards Xiao Min. And Xiao Min, who had already been warned by the cymbal, moved one step faster, and almost at the same time, he rolled over and rolled into the hall with Ah Rui, and kicked the door of the hall at the same time.

Zheng, Zheng, Zheng, Zheng, Zheng, one after another, bows and arrows were shot at the door, and many of the guards and eunuchs who had been guarding Xiao Min and Lu Bingzhen were injured by arrows and rolled down behind the railing. Of course, there are also fast-moving guards and secret guards, who smoothly entered the main hall together.

Xiao Min and Lu Bingzhen in the main hall had solemn faces, it seemed that those soldiers under His Royal Highness King Yu were just a false shot, and the ones who could really kill people were these crossbowmen who appeared later. Perhaps after that, there will be more formidable opponents.

Maybe everything tonight, His Royal Highness King Yu is just a cover that has been pushed out, and His Majesty hiding behind it is the one who really controls all this.

"It is worthy of being the emperor who has been on the throne for many years and holds the world in his hands, and his ability to manipulate power and scheming is indeed far beyond the reach of others. Qing Yan", Lu Bingzhen turned his head to look at Xiao Min, "At the moment, competing with the sergeants under the command of His Royal Highness King Yu is just a defeat for both sides and a profit for the fisherman." If you want to break the game, you have to capture the thief and capture the king first. ”

Xiao Min seemed to notice, and before Lu Bingzhen could speak, he said directly, "No, Ah Rui." If you really kill your father, the history books of the ages will record the trip of the emperor. You can't carry such a reputation on your back. ”

Lu Bingzhen blinked slyly, "Qingyan, we can blame others for this matter." For example, His Royal Highness King Yu is a very suitable candidate. ”

Since he knew that His Royal Highness King Yu actually coveted him, Lu Bingzhen was disgusting. There is an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone at the moment, and Lu Bingzhen doesn't want to let it go.

"And if we lose tonight. Qingyan, we are going to go up to the Nai He Bridge together to be a ghost couple. It's better to give it a go than to sit still. ”

Lu Bingzhen thought that when the words came to this point, Xiao Min would always agree. Unexpectedly, in such a critical situation, Xiao Min actually laughed a little easily when she mentioned this topic.

"No, Aar. We don't need to go to the bridge to be a ghost couple, we have already planned for you when Lone predicted today's situation. If Lone really can't win this palace change, you will follow the example of the former Zhaolie Crown Princess and live the second half of your life honorably and gloriously. Don't let your life be dragged into an abyss because you are lonely. ”

"You're crazy." Lu Bingzhen shouted in disbelief, "We are husband and wife, and it is the right way for husband and wife to be one and work together." Qingyan, what are you thinking? ”

A Rui's disbelieving gaze gradually turned firm, "Wen Cheng, do you know where Your Majesty is at the moment?" Wen Cheng, who was suddenly named, hesitated to speak. These days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's preference for His Royal Highness the Crown Princess is obvious to all. At the moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obviously does not want His Royal Highness the Crown Princess to be involved in this matter.

Wen Cheng didn't dare to rashly disobey the will of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Seeing Wen Cheng's hesitation, Lu Bingzhen sneered, "You don't think I'm just Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." Okay, if you don't say it, I'll ask myself, presumably the people of the Fan Yang Lu family will not disobey my orders. ”

After saying this, Lu Bingzhen raised his feet and was about to walk outside the main hall. The rain of arrows outside the hall did not stop, where did they dare to let her really go out. In the end, Xiao Min could only speak, "Father, he is on top of the White Tower at the moment." ”

"White Tower?" Not long after entering the palace, Lu Bingzhen, who was not yet thoroughly familiar with the terrain in the palace, asked in surprise, "Where is this?" ”

Wen Cheng cautiously explained, "It is a high tower used for worshipping Buddha, overlooking the entire palace, located in the northeast corner of the palace. That place was very close to Asakusa, presumably because His Majesty planned to leave an edict as soon as things changed and exceeded his expectations. ”

This "change of events" is implicit, but everyone present knows the meaning. It's nothing more than that His Majesty is also worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will become the final winner tonight, and wants to rely on the edict to disgust His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the end.

After knowing the location, Lu Bingzhen immediately made a decision, and prepared to let the female secret guard take her to the wall to go directly to the White Tower to take the emperor's life.

I heard Wen Cheng weakly explain, "Your Highness, the White Pagoda is not as simple as you imagined. The White Pagoda is a tower made of huge stones, and it is extremely strong. Even if you attack with a catapult, you can't explode without a quarter of an hour of effort. Moreover, His Majesty and his entourage on the White Pagoda will definitely not sit still, and when the time comes, they will be condescending, and it will be easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if we go now, we can't do anything to His Majesty in the White Tower. ”

What Wen Cheng didn't expect was that Lu Bingzhen, who heard this, became even more excited, and her eyes lit up, "You said that Your Majesty would look at us condescendingly at that time?" ”

Wen Cheng, who was confused by her question, nodded subconsciously and added, "Your Majesty's character has always been willing to give up until he grasps the overall situation. He must be watching everything that happens in the palace from the top of the tower at this moment. ”

The discussion of several people was fast and urgent, but before the two teas stopped, Lu Bingzhen made a decision on the matter. Xiao Min wanted to stop it several times, but was forced to retreat by Lu Bingzhen's eyes, and finally stopped his actions completely by Lu Bingzhen's words.

"I might as well tell Your Highness plainly that I, Lu Bingzhen, will not be Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess Zhaolie. If His Royal Highness really wants me to change my identity, I can retreat from Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to the daughter of the Lu family. The previous dynasty was not without precedents for the separation of people in the royal family. ”

As soon as the arrow rain stopped, Lu Bingzhen asked Zhu Persimmon and Xue Cha to join forces and rush to the nearest tower with their cornices. She also knew the seriousness of this matter, since the White Tower was indestructible, then she didn't plan to really get close to the White Tower to touch a nose of ash.

Lu Bingzhen planned to find a place near the White Pagoda that was high enough to see if he could shoot His Majesty with an arrow and end the chaos tonight. For ordinary people, this is tantamount to a fantasy. But for Lu Bingzhen, who was born with divine power, and the Oriquan Longbow that he was carrying on his back, which can be called an artifact, this matter can be given a try.

As for the sergeants and crossbowmen of His Royal Highness King Yu outside the main hall, Lu Bingzhen had no doubt that Xiao Min could completely solve these problems after he solved the biggest trouble.

"Your Highness, this is the place, you should be able to see clearly from the top of the White Tower."

The place where the three of them stopped was a stargazing platform in the previous court. In order to facilitate the observation of the stars by the Qin Heavenly Prison, it was built very high. However, against them, in order not to block the stars, there is almost no obstruction on the stargazing platform. In other words, if His Majesty finds out that there is one here, they won't even have a chance to read it.

Zhu Persimmon and Xue Cha glanced at each other worriedly, and secretly made up their minds that if Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess was in danger, even if they used their bodies to resist, they would never hurt Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess.

The moon was shining well tonight, and the bright silver glow sprinkled over the entire palace, as if every pavilion had been plated with a layer of silver.

Lu Bingzhen took a deep breath and picked out an arrow without any markings from the quiver behind his back. The arrow's blade glowed with a faint blue fluorescence, and it was a poisoned arrow. Lu Bingzhen has always disdained to use poison on top of his best archery, and this poisoned arrow was with his grandfather before he got married.

At that time, my grandfather said meaningfully, "A, maybe one day you will use this arrow." But preferably, I still hope you don't use it. ”

Maybe tonight is what my grandfather said.

Holding his breath, Lu Bingzhen put the arrow in his hand and carefully observed several figures on the white tower in the distance. Her eyesight was extraordinary, but tonight he didn't dare to tell whether someone was His Majesty or not by his clothes alone. In the unlikely event that His Majesty had carefully sought someone to wear his clothes as a stand-in, it would have been in vain.

After carefully observing for a long time, Lu Bingzhen finally determined that the person was His Majesty. She took a deep breath, then released the arrow, and the arrow shot out, taking the wind god of the market town.

Lu Bingzhen closed her eyes, she had always believed in herself, but when she subtracted, she didn't dare to look at the results. She feared that her own go-free attempt would not work. But fortunately, the heavens probably favored him.

This moment seemed to be very long and seemed to be very short, and Lu Bingzhen heard Zhu Persimmon's surprised voice beside him. "Your Highness, that man has fallen. It should be Your Majesty, they all surrounded him, and they seemed to be in a hurry. ”
