Chapter 180: Night Attack

After returning to the palace, Li Xiaoyao ordered people to close the door of the mansion, and Lin Chunxi and others also surrounded him, fortunately, Li Xiaoyao was fine, but this is really shocking, who would have thought that someone would dare to assassinate the eighth prince Li Xiaoyao, it can be seen that this group of people has been bold.

Li Xiaoyao carefully recalled what happened, on their way to the forbidden palace, in fact, Lao Li had already found that there were unknown people who appeared near the eighth prince's convoy from time to time, but because there were many pedestrians on the street, they walked the most prosperous Taixing Street, and the group thought that these followers were just to monitor the whereabouts of the prince, and they didn't dare to do anything to the prince, so they didn't care, after staying at the palace, they asked to see the emperor but couldn't, the eighth prince waited for a while and then returned to the house, and there was no delay on the way。 According to Lao Li, on the way back, there were no more unknown people in the provinces, so there was some carelessness, but I didn't expect that when passing through the Red Sleeve Building, someone actually attacked the convoy from multiple directions at the same time, they did not use hidden weapons and firearms suitable for sneak attacks, on the contrary, the people who came were all using swords, because the number of the prince's guards was not small, at the beginning of the period when they just fought they didn't care too much, but they had already fought and found that the other party was by no means an ordinary thief, and the shots were like electricity, and the moves were ruthless, if it weren't for Li Xiaoyao's personal guards with strong martial arts, I am afraid that they may not be able to withstand the attacks of these mastersAfter the first round of attacks, these people found that Li Xiaoyao's escort ability was very strong, and he could not break through in a short time, and saw that a riot had formed on the street, so these people were not entangled, and they hurriedly disappeared into the crowd, and disappeared without a trace, Lao Li saw that the other party had retreated, and did not dare to pursue, so he hurriedly gathered his manpower and escorted the prince back to the house, near the palace, Lao Li also set off fireworks for help, and the eighth prince's mansion only knew that the prince was in distress on the road, and Zhu Yehong counted more than ten masters and then greeted him in the direction of the fireworks, which finally brought Li Xiaoyao back to the house safely。

Li Xiaoyao was not afraid of this kind of sneak attack, but what made him uneasy was that it had been a long time since he returned to the house, but there was no one from the patrol battalion to inquire about the situation, which made it clear that the patrol battalion had received the news of the attack in advance, or had received an order, otherwise they would have participated, otherwise according to the convention, it would have been a very serious incident to assassinate the prince on the street, but after nearly two hours, no one had come to the palace to ask, and this matter was by no means simple.

Lin Chunxi suggested that Li Xiaoyao should not go out in the near future, but Li Xiaoyao said that the more unclear the situation outside, the more he had to check the situation, he was a little worried about the safety of the emperor and the queen mother in the palace at the moment, because he knew that in addition to Li Shanyuan's bad intentions, there was also a queen in the palace, and there were many demonic figures with hidden identities around her, these people were also in a hurry, and he put all his attention on the prince's mansion and ignored the monitoring of them。

In this way, in the middle of the night, the whole palace had already eaten their meals, everyone had rested very early, and everyone in the whole palace had slept peacefully except for the rotating staff.

However, just after the third watch, a large number of black-clothed people suddenly gathered around the palace, these people were all dressed in night clothes, their weapons were not unsheathed, and their faces were smeared with oil paint, all of which were hidden in dark corners, coldly watching the movements around the palace.

There are also a large number of bright posts and secret posts around the Eight Princes' Mansion, and everything is on guard as usual, but so far no one has found any trace of these nocturnal walkers. One of the leading figures carefully observed the shape of Lin, and then spread out a topographic map, which actually marked the specific locations of all the bright posts and secret posts around the Eight Princes' Mansion, in fact, as early as many days ago, this group of people had already begun to investigate the Eight Princes' Mansion, they had completely figured out the defense situation of the Eight Princes' Mansion, and they just chose to do it today, given that Bai had already carried out a tentative attack on Li Xiaoyao, they just calculated that the Eight Princes' Mansion did not think that the assassins would dare to carry out a second round of assassination in a row at night.

The people who acted were basically masters sent by the Divine Sword Villa, and this time Ao Jian personally led the team, and he sent almost all the masters he brought to the surroundings of the Eight Kings' Mansion, preparing to take advantage of tonight to carry out a targeted attack on Li Xiaoyao's Mansion.

There were a few special insect chirps in the alleys at night, and Ao Jian knew that his men and horses were in place, so Ao Jian carefully observed the surrounding terrain again, and he knew that all the intersections around him had been blocked by the men and horses of the patrol battalion, and these officers and soldiers did not dare to directly participate in the attack on the Eight Princes' Mansion, but under Li Shanyuan's secret instructions, it was no problem for them to block all the reinforcements going to the palace.

Proud Sword's eyes were full of killing intent at this time, he looked coldly in the direction of the palace, and then gave the order to attack. For a moment, the men and horses of the Divine Sword Villa shot almost at the same time, and many bright posts around the palace were attacked by the masters of the Divine Sword Villa at the same time, and all the manpower was almost wiped out, and the people who survived the first round of attacks were basically injured, and the few who did not come sent an alarm signal to the palace, and they were completely overwhelmed by the opponent's second round of offensive.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of insect chirping back, and after several turnovers reached the ears of Proud Sword, Proud Sword was very satisfied with the first round of offensive of his subordinates, and then he waved the flag and recorded the people and horses to kill together, they set up a human ladder and climbed over the outer wall of the Eight Princes' Mansion, and then these armed people poured into the Eight Princes' Mansion, at this time the night guards in the palace found out the situation, but a large number of masters rushed into the palace, according to the pre-set plan, launched an attack on many targets in the palace at the same time, the guards in the palace were already alarmed, and the two sides launched a desperate battle in the Eight Princes' Mansion。

Lin Chunxi and the others also woke up passively, they joined the battle group as soon as possible, Li Xiaoyao's personal guards are all carefully selected good hands, even though the martial arts of the people in the Divine Sword Villa are strong, but they still can't capture the palace in a short time, the advantage established by the first round of sneak attacks, under the desperate resistance of the palace guards, in the blink of an eye, the two sides have formed a situation of parity.
