There were already soldiers cutting down a big tree outside the courtyard, and more than 100 soldiers rushed into the courtyard with a five-zhang long tree.

His voice echoed in the tower, and the guards on the lower floors responded one after another, focusing on the arrows to shoot at the soldiers holding the wood, just twenty steps, three rounds of arrows were shot out on the tower, and the first twenty or so people were shot by the arrows and fell to the ground, but there were too many soldiers holding the giant tree, and the heavy giant tree still slammed into the bronze door.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, like a muffled thunder on the ground, the entire white jade pagoda shook violently, although the copper door was thick, it could not withstand this shocking impact, the bolt of the door broke, the tower door suddenly opened, and hundreds of soldiers rushed in.

Why did Yang Yuanba choose the tower for defense, he has his own considerations, the pagoda has a special structure, the stairs are narrow, and they rotate up, as long as they hold the tower ladder, it is difficult for the other party to attack.

Of course, they were too few to hold on to in the end, but they had gained time, and that was the most important thing, he had seen a large army rushing from the road to the top of the mountain, and in a pillar of incense at most, reinforcements would arrive.

At this time, the guards of the East Palace had already rushed into Renshou Palace, and Yuwen Chengdu took the lead, waving the phoenix wings gilt boring, and commanding more than a thousand guards to rush towards the white jade pagoda on the top of the mountain.

Soon, Shi Xiang led the army into Renshou Palace, they immediately closed the palace gate, control the situation in the palace, at this time Shi Xiang already knew that the saint had died, but Shi Xiang was as careful as a hair, he controlled more than a dozen imperial doctors who treated the saint and the eunuchs and palace maids around him, they could prove the cause of the saint's death.

Liu Shu was also anxious at the moment, they had delayed too much time, a person who appeared unexpectedly almost destroyed all his dreams, he only had a chance left now, he shouted behind a tree: "General He, it's too late to kill him again!"

He Shaokang's eyes turned red, he roared, and rushed into the White Jade Pagoda with a shield in his hand.

The tower has started a bloody battle, hundreds of left guard soldiers crowded on the first floor, two old nuns on the ground, the air is filled with a pungent smell of blood, on a narrow iron staircase behind the bronze statue, densely packed with more than a hundred burly sergeants, each holding a spear, slowly surging upwards like a snail, the top dozen people have been killed, but their bodies are still carried by the people below, becoming a meat shield.

Screams kept coming from the stairs, and just one person was hacked to death by the guards upstairs.

He Shaokang was furious, grabbed a spear and shouted: "Give me all down!"

The soldiers withdrew one after another, more than a dozen corpses also rolled down the stairs, He Shaokang held a shield in his left hand, a spear in his right hand, jumped up the stairs, and rushed up, He Shaokang is a Xianbei nobleman, he is six feet five tall, his martial arts are extremely strong, especially powerful, known as the first general of the left and right guards, he used his shield to withstand the attack of the four guards on the second floor, spear assassination, elusive, in an instant, four guards were stabbed to death by him.

The other guard was horrified and turned around and ran to the third floor, but was stabbed out by He Shaokang's flying spear and nailed to death on the stairs.

The situation took a sharp turn in an instant, and He Shaokang was extremely brave, rushing up to the third floor in one breath, followed by more than a hundred rebel soldiers.

The sound of the stairs running made Yang Ye's face pale, he had heard that the other party had reached the third floor, he felt a kind of despair that the end was coming, but Yang Yuanba was unusually calm, he had experienced countless tests of life and death, and he knew that the god of death had not yet come.

He picked up the halberd and jumped from the fifth floor to the fourth floor, so startled that Yang Ye stood up and shouted: "General Yuanba!"

Yang Yuanba's voice came from the fourth floor, "Your Highness don't worry, there is a humble position, but your Highness is safe!"

At this time, He Shaokang's heart was so excited that he jumped out, he was less than five steps away from Yang Ye's straight line, only one floor apart, and the smooth rush to the building made him see the dawn of victory.

But he didn't know that there was also a person with superb martial arts upstairs, when he just rushed to the fourth floor, a powerful arrow came to his chest like lightning, he instinctively raised his shield to meet him, 'click!', the arrow actually shot through his shield and nailed to his shoulder socket, He Shaokang only felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his back hit the wall hard.

He Shaokang was furious, threw away his shield, swung his spear and pounced, and stabbed Yang Yuanba's throat with a spear in the air, but Yang Yuanba did not dodge, and his halberd also stabbed He Shaokang's chest extremely quickly, and at the moment of lightning, He Shaokang's spear stopped about half a foot away from Yang Yuanba's throat.

Yang Yuanba's face was as cold as stone, He Shaokang slowly lowered his head, and looked incredibly at the fact that his chest had been pierced by a halberd, he obviously felt that the other party's speed was not fast, but he was still stabbed first.

He Shaokang suddenly burst out with an earth-shattering scream, this scream contained his endless despair, in the moment before he died, he seemed to see the moment when he was exterminated by the Nine Clans, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his body was weak, and he died on Yang Yuanba's halberd.

Yang Yuanba threw his body out, smashed several stunned soldiers down the stairs behind, and a straight hall chief behind him rushed up unwillingly, but Yang Yuanba's halberd stabbed his shield, the tip of the halberd pierced his head, nailed him to the wall, and his brain spurted out

There was silence in the entire White Jade Pagoda, He Shaokang had served as the general of the Left Guard Zhige for nearly ten years, and he was very good at winning people's hearts, and most of his subordinates were absolutely obedient to him, but when he died, the soldiers lost their spiritual support, and they didn't know where they should go.

At this moment, Yang Ye's voice sounded on the fifth floor of the White Jade Pagoda, "Lone is the crown prince, and he is about to be the Emperor of Tianwu, you were deceived by He Shaokang and committed a big crime, and now the first evil has been subdued, you and others will disperse immediately, and Lone will not be investigated, otherwise the whole door will be beheaded!"

The soldiers' hearts have collapsed, they are terrified, they retreat downstairs, rush out of the white jade tower, throw away their weapons and flee in all directions, at this time, the black pressure of the East Palace guards has rushed over the mountainside, Liu Shu saw that the general trend has gone, he laughed miserably, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, unscrewed the cork, drank it in one gulp, slowly lay down, looked at the white clouds in the sky, he couldn't help but sigh a long way, "The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky!"

There was a scream in front of the White Jade Pagoda, and more than 500 East Palace guards rushed into the courtyard and killed dozens of rebels who had no time to escape.

Yang Ye had seen Yang Su and Yu Wenshu running from the foot of the mountain from the window, he knew that the overall situation had been decided, and suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, although there were still a few steps away from ascending the throne, but at least it would not be as embarrassed as today, so life and death hung in the balance, Yang Ye heard the footsteps behind him, he looked back at Yang Yuanba who walked up the stairs, his heart was full of deep gratitude, it was this young general who saved himself at the most critical time, for a while, Yang Ye asked lightly: "Yuanba, you just say, what do you want me to reward you?"

Yang Yuanba half-knelt down and saluted, "What the humble post does today is just the duty of a minister, try your best to become Your Majesty's shield, and the humble post does not need any reward!"

Yang Ye shook his head slowly, "Although it is just a coincidence that I met you today, but this is also the will of God, you saved my life, although you don't want a reward, maybe you are willing to be my shield, but I Yang Ye never owe anyone favors, you say!

Yang Yuanba pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "There is only one thing for the humble position, and I hope that one day in the future, His Royal Highness will be able to accept the advice of the humble position." ”

Yang Ye stared at him for a long time, and finally nodded, "I actually don't like to listen to people's advice, but for the sake of you saving me once, okay! ”

Yang Ye showed a knowing smile on his face, "Yuanba, I will remember your kindness in saving the driver." ”
