Chapter 376: Murder of the Crown Prince

The Zheng family took a step forward and whispered to Zhang Haining: "The emperor has died." ”

Zhang Haining listened and sat down on the chair.

Today's emperors cultivate immortals and drink elixirs of immortality every day. This time the pill was a bit fierce, and as soon as the emperor drank it, he fell on the dragon bed on the spot, struggled for a while, and bled to death. In fact, the emperor is no longer nostalgic for the prosperity of the world, but to be a free immortal.

Zhang Haining was worried that the prince's status would not be guaranteed, so he asked the prince to quietly leave Beijing to find the "Book of Immortals". The prince is not in the capital, I am afraid that another prince will take the lead, the matter is urgent, Zhang Haining immediately came to the prince's house and knocked on the door.

"Who?" asked the prince.

"It's me. ”

The prince opened the door, Zhang Haining walked in, and said in the prince's ear: "I got the news just now that the emperor has died." ”

"What can I do about this?" the prince was also alarmed.

"Let's hurry up and set off now, day and night, and rush back to the capital. ”

So after some hectic confusion, before dawn, the group set off in a hurry.

Rushed on the road for a day. In the evening of this day, I stayed in a hotel in the town, and in five days I could rush back to the capital.

In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a whistling sound outside, and then the house caught fire, and the officers and soldiers hurriedly protected the prince and others and ran out of the hotel. Only then did it become clear that there was a group of strongmen surrounded by a group of strongmen, about a hundred people, masked, with bows, shooting towards the prince. Hu Qiong and the others were busy protecting the prince and knocking down the flying feather arrows. The house behind him was already on fire.

Hu Qiong and the officers and soldiers rushed into the strong crowd and fought each other. Shouts and killings came one after another, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and many people fell to the ground, struggling in pain. The strongmen are all masters, relying on the large number of people, surround the people on Hu Qiong's side, and kill them inseparably. It didn't take long, and the number of officers and soldiers became smaller and smaller.

When he was in danger, another group of people rushed over, looking at his dress, but it was an officer and soldier. Zhang Haining saw that the rescuers were coming, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, this group of officers and soldiers surrounded the prince's side, and they also put away arrows, only shooting at this side, and this time, most of the officers and soldiers on the prince's side were killed and wounded, and the remaining officers and soldiers were also wounded and could not fight.

Hu Qiong had no choice but to perform light work, and where there was a crisis, she would run to save the emergency. But the strong man plus the officers and soldiers, there are many people, with the strength of Hu Qiong alone, where can he hold out for how long?

At this time, Liu Xianping, Jinxia, Zhang Dafei and others arrived in time, and on the periphery, they fought with the rebellious officers and soldiers, so that the officers and soldiers could not come forward.

Zhang Haining hurriedly sent someone to call Hu Qiong to him and said to him: "Brother Hu, you rush to the front of the officers and soldiers, and say to the general who led the troops, this is the prince, tell him to exterminate the strongman." The prince has a reward. ”

"Yes. Hu Qiong got the order, performed the wonderful light skill of "flying with the wind", and in the rain of swords and arrows, he rushed left and right, and rushed straight towards the general who led the troops. Along the way, there were officers and soldiers to stop him, Hu Qiong rose up and stabbed with a long sword, killing and injuring many people. When Liu Xianping saw it, he thought that Hu Qiong was trying to capture the king, so he used the flying dragon sword technique and rushed over to help.

Hu Qiong opened a bloody path, and he had been hit by a few feather arrows on his body, and he was drenched in blood, and he didn't care about this, so he rushed to the front of the general in one breath and shouted loudly: "The prince is here, let you exterminate the strongman." The prince has a reward. ”

When the general heard this, he exclaimed, "Where did you come from?" Exterminate them all for me. ”

The general was obviously in league with the strongman, but he was just commanding the army, shooting arrows directly at the prince's side from the periphery. The number of officers and soldiers on the prince's side is getting smaller and smaller. No matter how high Hu Qiong and Liu Xianping's swordsmanship is, they can't stop so many strongmen and officers and soldiers, the encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, and it won't take long for only a few people around the prince to follow.

Zhang Haining was annoyed, the general was already opposed, they wanted to kill the prince and tried to rebel, but their own number was small, and they had no choice but to protect the prince and stand by a wall, looking at the battle in front of them.

At this moment, suddenly four people rushed in, and it was the "Four Heroes of Jianghu" who arrived. Seeing that Hu Qiong's side was in danger, they hurriedly drew their swords and joined the battle group. When Hu Qiong saw it, he hurriedly shouted: "Four heroes, go and protect the prince." ”

The martial arts of the "Four Heroes of Jianghu" are not as good as Liu Xianping and Hu Qiong, hearing Hu Qiong's shouting, he hurriedly rushed into the encirclement, ran to the prince, and relied on his sword to block the feather arrows and protect the prince.

Hu Qiong, Liu Xianping, and Zhang Dafei have been fighting for a long time, they are seriously injured, they are already bloody, and there are many people on the other side, so they have to resist with all their might, and they don't let them rush to the prince.

The officers and soldiers on the prince's side were dead and wounded, and none of them were able to fight. Although Hu Qiong and the others killed one person in ten steps, there were many people on the other side, although they were running back and forth, they couldn't be rescued, and those rebellious officers and soldiers were already approaching the prince.

At this time, three more people came running one after another and joined the battle group. These three people are the Qichuan monk, Liu Yiwu, and Yuan Chuanhua in turn.

These three are all masters of the world, and they rushed into the opponent's battle formation, like chopping melons and vegetables. The rebellious general saw that he had succeeded, and he didn't think about killing three people halfway, but hurriedly commanded the army and surrounded these three people heavily. In a short time, although these three people had killed many people, their whole bodies were also blood-red, and they were still fighting hard.

Hu Qiong joined the people on both sides of the ship, forming a barrier in front of the prince. There is the protection of the "Four Heroes of Jianghu" inside, and the protection of Hu Qiong and others outside, and the prince is temporarily safe.

The situation has improved slightly. At this time, a group of people and horses, about fifty people, rushed from a distance.

I don't know if it's friend or foe?

The group of people masked their faces rushed to the front, rushed past the officers and soldiers, and rushed towards Hu Qiong and the others. It seems that they are in league with the rebels. When people on both sides of the enemy were killed in one place, there was already a river of blood on the ground and a mountain of corpses.

The three groups of people surrounded the prince's side, and the arrows whistled and shot straight at the prince. The "Four Heroes of Jianghu", each with several arrows in their bodies, gritted their teeth and insisted. On Hu Qiong's side, only seven masters were able to persist in the battle, resisting more than a hundred strong opponents, and the situation was reversed, that is, in the blink of an eye, the victory or defeat was decided, and the battle would end.

When the situation was extremely critical, a group of people ran over in the distance, and a person who looked like a general stood in front, frowning, unable to figure out what the situation was with these people fighting to the death, and I didn't know who to help?

He saw a wall in the distance, in the firelight, four people protected one person, this person looked like a prince, and there was an old man standing next to him, who seemed to be Zhang Haining, and then looked at the middle of the people who were fighting, there was also Yuan Chuanhua, who he also knew. How clever the general was, he immediately understood the situation.

He slowly walked up to the rebel general and beckoned, "General Ma." ”

When General Nama saw the visitor, he immediately recognized it, and had to say hello, saying, "It turned out to be General Qi, don't come unharmed." ”

General Naqi is the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Pingren.

I saw Qi Pingren walking up to General Ma with a smile and seemed to have a warm hug with him. As soon as the two approached, Qi Pingren suddenly took out a dagger that was bright and dangling, and with a "porphyry" sound, it stabbed into General Ma's chest. The general looked down at the red blood gushing out of his chest, trying to cover the bleeding with his hands. General Naqi pushed forward, and General Nama fell like a scarecrow.

General Ma's men and horses are fighting with Hu Qiong and others, seeing that they are about to succeed, they are all trying to move forward, where would they think that there would be a General Qi behind him and assassinate their General Ma.

The general of the Qiping people killed General Ma, and immediately stood on a high place, shouting: "General Ma rebelled and has been killed, the rest put down their swords and arrows, if they want to resist, they will be killed." ”

Those officers and soldiers were fighting fiercely, and when they saw success, they suddenly heard that the general was dead, and they were stunned for a while, not knowing where to go?

Zhang Haining seized the opportunity and said loudly: "The prince is here." General Ma rebelled and was executed, and the rest were exempted from capital crimes, so they didn't put down their weapons quickly. ”

Those soldiers were deceived by their general, Ma, saying that they wanted to kill the gangsters who had rebelled, but it turned out that it was the prince who was going to be killed! This is a capital crime of rebellion, and although I heard that it is a crime to avoid death, the living crime cannot be tolerated. Just as there was no need to do so, another masked leader shouted:

"This is the false prince. The real prince is in the capital, don't be deceived by them, hurry up and kill the fake prince. ”

The general of the Qiping people who resisted the Japanese was going to enter the capital to worship the emperor, passing through here, in the middle of the night he heard the sound of shouting, hurriedly walked out of the room, and saw the fire here, so he rushed to the prince with more than a dozen of his own soldiers, he recognized the prince, and hurriedly ran to the prince with his own soldiers to protect the prince.

Zhang Haining looked at General Qi with his troops, stood bold, and shouted at the masked leader:

"Who are you, and why do you say that the prince is fake?"
