Chapter 312: Trapped
Rong Run's front foot stepped into the gate of the middle palace, and his back foot saw two teams of soldiers rushing out from both sides of the main hall, each holding a bow and crossbow, and the arrows were aimed at his heart. Rong Run was startled, and subconsciously stepped back, but only touched the cold vermilion door. Rong Run pushed it, but the door was like an iron wall, and it didn't move.
The crossbowmen pressed their bows and arrows together, Rong Run panicked, and slammed the vermilion door with all his strength, and the sound of shields hitting copper rivets came from behind the door, and the roars of the internal guards were overwhelming.
Xiao Rongshen lightly pushed open the lattice window on the second floor, and laughed loudly: "Sixth brother, don't come to harm?"
Rong Run looked up and found that there was a Manli woman standing behind Gao Bingyan, who was Xiangxiu who was talking to him just now. Xiangxiu showed a frivolous look, shook the silk handkerchief in her hand twice to Rong Run, and slid the handkerchief downstairs very deliberately.
"Slave Xiangxiu, I have seen Prince Bao Chitose. ”
"Xiangxiu! You!" Rong Run realized that he had been fooled, and subconsciously asked, "Xiao Rongshen, where did you get my queen mother?"
"Sixth, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. I didn't expect you to be an official in the court for so many years, and your heart is still so simple. Xiao Rongshen laughed, pulled Xiangxiu to his side, and said, "Your queen mother is here, she is very good, if you have the ability, kill all the internal guards here, and you can save her out." ”
"Xiao Rongshen, you dare to deceive me!" Rong Run's face turned up, and the center of his eyebrows was twisted into a Sichuan character.
"What about cheating you?" Xiao Rong lowered his eyelids and looked at Rong Run for a lifetime.
Rong Run was furious, with such a brother, there was no other way than to speak with a sword. Rong Run waved the blade of the sword in his hand: "You stand still, wait for me to come upstairs to kill you!"
Xiao Rongshen glanced at Gao Bingyan and said with a smile: "Gao Xiang, did you hear that? He is already in prison and it is difficult to protect himself, and he still wants to assassinate me." ”
Gao Bingyan echoed casually: "Your Majesty is angry, such arrogant people are hopeless, why doesn't Your Majesty give him a chance, and let him see the power of the palace guards?"
"It's a lot of fun. Xiao Rongshen raised his eyebrows, brushed his sleeves and smiled lightly: "Okay, then I will stand still and see how the palace guards kill such rebellious ministers and thieves." ”
Gao Bingyan raised his hand downstairs: "What are you waiting for? Your Majesty has a decree to kill the rebellious ministers and thieves!"
Originally, the internal guards heard Xiao Rongshen call him the sixth child, and knew that the person in front of him was Prince Bao, and they didn't dare to make a mistake, but when they heard the word killing, they had a score in their hearts, since they didn't care about life or death, this matter was much easier.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Under the order of the chief of the guard, dozens of crossbowmen worked in unison, and in the small area of the vestibule of the Middle Palace, dozens of arrows shot from all directions, which was enough to form a closed environment, so that Rong Run had nowhere to go. Rong Run didn't panic, first dodged an arrow sideways, then split the sword left and right, split down two arrows, flicked the sleeves of his robe, rolled up a dozen arrows, turned around, and more than a dozen arrows flew towards the crossbowman in unison.
Although the arrow raised in his hand has no power and will not shoot a person to death, but a person who flies towards him, no matter how bold he is, will have a bit of a psychological shadow, and more than a dozen crossbowmen subconsciously cover their faces. Rong Run took advantage of the situation and took a few steps forward, jumping behind the crossbowman's back. The tip of the shoe stepped into a shallow puddle and made a splash. He kicked over a crossbowman, snatched his bow and arrows, and flashed aside.
The crossbowmen turned around in unison and aimed the arrows at the middle palace dormitory, Rong Run was afraid that the arrows would penetrate through the lattice window and frighten the queen, so he dodged left and right, hiding himself behind a vermilion pillar.
"Shoot him!" the chief of the guard shouted as he raised his saber in his hand.
Whoosh! The chief guard fell to the ground. A long arrow stuck in his forehead pierced his skull, and it pierced his skull with great force.
"Good boy, two more hits. A look of displeasure appeared on Xiao Rongshen's face.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to be in a hurry, just wait patiently, right?" Gao Bingyan touched the cold sweat on his head, and he couldn't imagine that Xiao Rongrun's archery technique was so exquisite. With Xiao Rongrun's resentment towards himself, he will never miss an opportunity to get rid of himself. If the arrow just now didn't shoot at the head of the guard, but at his head...... The consequences would be unimaginable. You know, the head of the guard still has a helmet made of cowhide and copper on his head, but his head is fleshy, and he can't withstand his arrow.
Gao Bingyan was so distracted, his eyes were inadvertently stabbed by a silver shining thing, Gao Bingyan was still very reactive, and Xiao Rongshen's hand suddenly raised in front of him.
Gao Bingyan was startled, and looked at the thing that Xiao Rongshen was holding tightly in his hand, it was actually an arrow inlaid with a stainless steel arrow, the blade of the arrow was only two inches away from the left of his forehead, if he hadn't been caught by Xiao Rongshen, he would have died.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Gao Bingyan was so frightened that he was incoherent, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
This should be the closest he has ever come to death in his life, and I really hope there won't be a next time.
"What's the matter, Lord Gao?" Xiao Rongshen's voice was full of anger: "Scared stupid?" Xiao Rongshen shook his hand lightly and threw the arrow on the ground, and the arrow touched the ground with a clattering sound.
Gao Bingyan's body trembled, his legs suddenly lost strength, and he knelt on the ground in a dejected manner: "Thank you for your life-saving grace, thank your majesty for ......"
"Hmph. Xiao Rongshen glanced at Gao Bingyan disappreciatively, shook his hand, and suddenly grabbed an arrow in front of him!
"Ah!?Oh, Your Majesty, Your Majesty beware!" Gao Bingyan pulled the corner of Xiao Rongshen's robe in fright, he had been an official in the court for so many years, and there were people protecting him when he came and went, and he had never been frightened like this. For a while, his legs were also weak, and his voice trembled. The shadow of the pillars of the country is gone.
"Your Majesty should avoid it for the time being, lest the rebellious ministers and thieves hurt Your Majesty. Gao Bingyan persuaded.
"Did Master Gao persuade me, or was he afraid?" Xiao Rongshen's face twitched violently, and he put down the arrow in his hand. pinched it in his hand, waved at Rong Run, who was downstairs, and threw it downstairs arrogantly.
Gao Bingyan's face twitched for a while: "Your Majesty, old minister, old minister, I ...... I really think about your majesty's safety!"
"Come on, Prime Minister Gao, if you really think about my safety, pray that Prince Bao can be captured alive today. Xiao Rongshen glanced at Gao Bingyan with disdain.
Rong Run leaned on the vermilion pillar and began to panic, it seemed that he would not be able to save his mother no matter what he wanted today. Although he had already prepared for the worst at this point, he never thought that he would be trapped and die in the Middle Palace.
"Spread my will! Prince Bao Xiao Rongrun forced the palace to kill, and the crime deserves death. Immediately shoot Prince Bao Xiao Rongrun to death with an arrow in the vestibule of the Middle Palace!" Xiao Rongshen raised his eyebrows and waved his arm: "Release the arrow!"
Xiao Rongshen's roar seemed to instill infinite power into the internal guards, and those internal guards all came to their senses one by one and stood up like mushrooms after a rain.
Rong Run leaned on the pillar and looked down at the saber in his hand. It seems that it is impossible for the witch doctor to come to rescue him, and if he dies here today, it can be regarded as a filial piety to his father and queen mother. It's just that he Xiao Rongrun was born as a human being, standing up to the sky and the earth, and he must not die in the hands of a treacherous person like Xiao Rongshen!
As a last resort, he could only rely on the three-foot sword peak in his hand to end up with his own life.
"Kill him!" Xiao Rongshen's eyes were full of red bloodshots, and he suddenly looked like an angry lion, eager to tear the prey to pieces.
"Don't!" A woman's hysterical wail suddenly came from the middle palace dormitory: "Don't kill my son!"
Xiao Rongshen frowned, then raised his hand and motioned to the crossbowmen not to move yet.
"Queen Mother?!" Rong Run heard the queen's voice, and wanted to kick open the lattice door of the middle palace dormitory, but he didn't dare to leave the vermilion pillar of the bunker for half a step at the moment, for fear that a stray arrow would fly out of nowhere and penetrate his body.
"You're the queen mother, aren't you?"
"Run'er...... Run'er ...... "The queen's mournful cry came from the dark and secluded dormitory.
Rong Run's heart ached when he heard this, and he shouted: "Don't be afraid, the queen mother, my son will make a break with them!"
"Don't! Don't Run'er!" the queen cried: "Run'er, mother begs you, go quickly, you quickly find a way to escape!"
"Escape?!Hmph, can he escape?!" Xiao Rongshen pressed his palm on the window frame on the second floor, and smiled contemptuously downstairs: "The few wastes he brought have been trapped to death by my internal guards, and now even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu can't save him!"
Rong Run leaned on the vermilion pillar and shouted upstairs: "Xiao Rongshen! You still have the face to scold other people's waste? In order to catch four waste, you used at least 200 internal guards in the palace. One to fifty! Who is the rubbish, do you count it?"
"Sixth, you don't have the advantage of your tongue! Even if you send another 2,000 elite soldiers today, you will be trapped here to death!" Xiao Rongshen's face suddenly turned red and white, and he said angrily: "Release the arrow!"
"Don't! I'll see which of you dare!" said the queen, crouching over the lattice door.
The slave does not bully the master, although the queen loses power, but she is still the master after all, with her to speak, the crossbowmen will still hesitate to some extent.
"Xiao Rongshen, if you have a seed, come to the master, don't embarrass my mother!"
"Run'er! Run'er, don't say it, you run for your life! As long as you live, the queen mother is willing to die!" The queen cried and slapped the lattice door: "You run away!"
"Queen mother, how can the child leave the queen mother alone?" Rong Run clutched the hilt of the sword in his hand tightly: "Xiao Rongshen! If you have the guts, kill this king, let the world see how ugly you are when you imprison the queen and kill the first emperor's concubine!"
"Rong Run, shut up!" The queen shouted desperately upstairs through the lattice door: "And the prince, you listen well, as long as you let Prince Bao go and let him go out of Beijing to live an ordinary life, whatever you want, this palace will fulfill you." Aren't you afraid that the dragon bed will be unstable? As long as you let Run'er go, the palace will immediately announce your status in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs!"
"Queen Mother!" Rong Run stubbornly shouted: "Erchen can't leave you alone! Otherwise, Erchen will become something!"
