Iron Dynasty

When the first cannon shot sounded, there was a mess in the East Palace.

The prince woke up from the bed, and he asked loudly, What's the matter? The sound of cannons coming from somewhere.

His Royal Highness, we don't know either, this voice just sounded.

A group of maids serving in the dormitory said delicately, since Xiao Wenxuan was bedridden, the prince has acted recklessly, and all the few beautiful maids in the palace were taken to the East Palace by him to sleep.

These days, he has been entrusted with the unscrupulousness of being an emperor. Because of this, he is more and more obsessed with the supreme right. As long as he can become the emperor, no one in the world will be able to restrain him.

This country will be trampled under his feet, the wealth and beauty of the world will be taken into his arms by him, he will live a reckless life, and he will no longer have to worry about being scolded by Xiao Wenxuan.

But at the same time, he also became more and more afraid of losing it all, and he was awakened several times from his dreams by this fear these days.

Pushing away the naked body on the bed, the prince ran out disheveled. Although he was incompetent, he knew that the sound of the cannon had definitely happened.

He had just rushed outside the door when Wang Xi hurried over and panicked when he saw the prince, Wang Xi: His Royal Highness, something is bad, and the firearms camp is reversed!

What! The prince was shocked when he heard the words, Where is Yang Zhen? Why didn't he notice it in advance!

Wang Xi said bitterly: Your Highness, Yang Zhen from Lijingmen has not returned for two days and two nights, and now no one knows where he went, Your Highness, the old slave said at the beginning not to trust Yang Zhenhe. Du Heng, these two are indeed traitors.

This news made the prince's heart violent, and the anger of being betrayed made him want to kill Yang Zhen and Du Heng now, but now he understands that it is not the time to care about these.

He said: You should immediately notify You Wuwei to quell the rebellion, and let the city defense battalion close the city gates so that no one can enter or leave the city gates. Only when King Zhao's troops arrive can the city gates be opened.

Yes, Your Highness. Wang Xi heard the words and walked out.

After giving the order, the prince was still worried. He called the guards and ordered the guards of the outer palace to immediately close the palace gate and not allow anyone to enter the palace, but the words of the guards made him suddenly pale.

Du Heng has entered the palace! The prince said angrily, Kill him immediately.

At this time, Du Heng, who arrived at the palace in the morning in Princess Pingyang's carriage, had already entered the inner palace. He knew very well that he was no longer worthy of others' trust after he took refuge with the prince.

And Princess Pingyang was taken in overnight because she had a heart for him.

It's just different from Yang Zhen's betrayal. He pretended to take refuge with the prince.

General Du, you came really early. Zhao Yujie yawned, and he led someone to guard the door all night.

With a smile on his face, Du Heng walked over to Zhao Yujie as usual to prepare for the handover, but when Zhao Yujie was not ready, he suddenly drew a knife and slashed at Zhao Yujie's throat.

The blood spurted out directly like a fountain, and the hundred guards at the door were shocked.

A soldier came back to his senses and shouted: Du Heng rebelled and killed without mercy.

The guards reacted and rushed towards Du Heng immediately. At this moment, the sound of swoosh sounded, and hundreds of sharp arrows shot at the guards at the door.

With a scream, half of the guards outside the Clear Water Pavilion collapsed, and the rest of the guards looked at where the arrows came from, and saw the inner palace guards wearing black armor coming from all directions, like a torrent of steel.

The prince is conspiring to kill the monarch, the emperor has an order, no matter if the prince is in the same party. Du Heng said loudly.

The remaining guards in front of the Bishui Pavilion suddenly woke up. They understood that Du Heng had never been loyal to the prince.

They looked at each other, didn't surrender, and didn't face the enemy, but turned around and rushed towards the Clear Water Pavilion. They also had secret orders on their bodies. If there was an accident, they would immediately kill everyone in the Clear Water Pavilion.

Kill! the rebel guard shouted and rushed into the Clear Water Pavilion.

The sudden voice alarmed the palace maids in the Bishui Pavilion. Seeing the fifty or so guards waving their machetes and rushing towards them, the palace maids turned pale with fright.

Liuli was standing in front of the thirty palace maids at this time, her body trembling in the face of these guards. After all, she was only a woman, how could she not be afraid of such a scene now.

But at this time, behind her were Concubine Zhen and the emperor. Just as the rebel secret guard rushed in front of them, Liuli suddenly shouted in a clear voice, Shoot.

After saying that, she suddenly took out a short-barreled musket from the arm cage, and with a bang, the guard who rushed in front fell down.

The other palace maids also raised their muskets tremblingly. At this time, in order to survive, they overcame their fear of muskets and pulled the trigger one by one at the rushing guards.

Bang Bang... Continuous voices sounded, and half of the rebel guards fell.

The rest of the guards were shocked when they saw this, and couldn't help but hesitate for a while. At this moment, Du Heng arrived with someone, and the two sides immediately began to fight.

Relying on strong martial arts and a large number of people, Du Heng quickly killed the rebel guards.

At this time, Du Heng looked at Liuli, who was still holding a short-barreled musket and refused to put it down, in surprise, and said, Miss Liuli, I'm here to protect the emperor.

When the prince broke into the Bishui Pavilion that day, Liuli knew that this time was more fortunate than good. As Concubine Zhen's confidant, Liuli and Li San naturally had many contacts outside the palace.

When King Qi brought a gift to Concubine Zhen, Li San sent a box of muskets to the palace and told her not to use them until the critical moment.

Now that the lives of Concubine Zhen and the emperor were at stake, she could only take out a musket and teach the maids how to use it.

You have already taken refuge with the prince, you lied! Liuli reprimanded.

Du Heng gave a wry smile, now that he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't wash it.

Liu Li, let him in. Suddenly Concubine Zhen's voice sounded, and at the door of the inner hall, Concubine Zhen supported Xiao Wenxuan and walked out, If he wants to kill us, he doesn't need to waste so many Zhou Zhang.

Your Majesty. Du Heng looked excited when he saw Xiao Wenxuan.

The sound of cannons outside the city seemed to be getting closer and closer to the palace. At this time, Xiao Wenxuan said: It seems that Luo Quan already knows what happened in the palace. I have failed my loyal ministers.

Your Majesty, not only General Luo, but His Royal Highness King Qi's people are also in the city. They are preparing to rescue the Emperor and Concubine Zhen. Du Heng said, According to the negotiated time, they will meet in less than half an hour. arrival.

Xiao Wenxuan coughed violently twice, and he said, No, you just need to run away with Concubine Zhen and Zhen's widow, and I will delay time for you.
