Empress Chu

He pointed to the front, a fat man who was crawling towards the flowers, he didn't know if he was dressed like an old man of the Yang family or a housekeeper: "Go, kill him."

The soldier named Lao Bai didn't hesitate, nor was he very active. He walked over numbly, and was about to raise his knife when he was pushed away by a person rushing from the side.

"Haha." The soldier laughed wildly, and kicked Lao Bai beside him, "Go away, it's all thanks to Grandpa."

Lao Bai was not kicked by him, and took a step back to avoid it.

The soldier ran away laughing wildly, and his companion stepped forward and scolded in grief: "Why are you such a waste, this has been robbed."

"It doesn't matter whoever kills it, it's all thanks to the adults." Lao Bai said in a muffled voice. At this moment, he looked up to the sky with a stunned expression full of shock.

Companions whined and complained, and looked up to see the fireworks in the sky.

"Who is sending a signal?" The soldiers naturally thought of this when they saw the fireworks, and sneered, "What's the use at this time, the prince is dead, the capital camp is blocked outside the city, and the third prince is also on the other side of the palace." Who else would you send it to?"

Talking and funny.

"The fireworks are so fancy."

"Old Bai, listen to me, there will definitely be more people in the inner courtyard later, all of them are women, so it's easier to—"

He turned his head to continue talking, but he saw Lao Bai who was beside him turned around and ran out, and Da Gaozi was running fast.

"Hey! Old Bai! Why are you running away!"

Isn't it stupid to be a deserter at this time?

Sure enough, Lao Bai who was running was quickly spotted and shouted, "Stop! Go back!"

Lao Bai seemed to be unable to hear it, and ran out like flying.

"Kill him." The leader said angrily.

The overall situation has been settled, and it doesn't matter if there is one less trash soldier.

The four soldiers responded in unison, and everyone recognized this Lao Bai, who was usually inconspicuous and didn't take it seriously, and stepped forward with a grinning grin.

"Don't kill him all at once, cut off his leg one by one."

Accompanied by grinning grinningly, the four rushed over and raised their long knives at Lao Bai. The next moment, the knife flashed, blood and flesh flew all over the place, and they screamed again and again——

The soldier who was about to chase closed his eyes in despair, it was over, he slowly backed away, Lao Bai had already sought his own death, he should not be implicated——

But when he opened his eyes, he saw Lao Bai flying on his horse, and the four soldiers who wanted to chop off Lao Bai's legs were already lying on the ground. Their legs and feet were intact, but their heads were separated.

The soldiers were stunned, and so were the others, and the leader was even more furious.

"Kill him!" he yelled.

More soldiers surrounded him, but Lao Bai had a long sword in his hand, one knife after another, blood and flesh flew all over the place.

Everyone who was killed didn't know whether to surround him or run away.

Fortunately, Lao Bai didn't want to kill everyone, he just killed a way, threw a lot of flesh and blood and galloped away, disappearing into the darkness.

The soldier couldn't hear the commotion all around, and just stared blankly at the place where Lao Bai disappeared.

Is that really old white?

That's definitely not Lao Bai!

That's killing God!

……

……

Soldiers such as masons and Lao Bai rushed towards the place where the fireworks were blooming in the dark night. The street outside Chu's house, which was originally cleared by Xiaoman and others, slowly filled with people, and finally people appeared on the walls and roofs. .

Looking at this scene, Eunuch Qi lowered his head and wiped his tears.

Xiaoman pouted.

Chu Zhao clenched her hands tightly, and then felt a pair of small hands holding hers. She stared down and saw the child in her arms.

Zhong Changrong's scarred face flickered under the dancing firelight, and he asked, "Where are the scouts?"

Seven or eight people stood up and "scouted to listen to orders."

Zhong Changrong said: "Which gate of the capital can be seized and broken out?"

Just as the scout was about to speak, a female voice sounded first.

"Wait a minute."

All eyes were on the source of the sound, under the light of the torch was a girl riding a horse with a child in her arms.

Chu Zhaodao: "Uncle Zhong, since we have people, we don't need to break through."

Not to break through?Now the capital is full of the Third Prince's men and horses, and the capital camp is outside the city. Although the capital camp must be seized by the Third Prince, it is impossible for them all to become the Third Prince's people. Only then can the rebellion be quelled, and the little highness can be safe.

Zhong Changrong looked at Chu Zhao, frowned, but did not speak, listening to her continue.

"Let's break into the imperial city." Chu Zhao said, looking towards where the imperial city was.

Chapter 115

When the fireworks exploded in the sky, Deng Yi was walking out of the emperor's bedroom.

He was supposed to stay in the palace, but the emperor drove him away.

"Although I was poisoned, I won't die for a while." The emperor lay on his back with a smile on his blood-stained face, "I will definitely wait until my good brother dies first."

He pointed at Deng Yi.

"Now I only need you to do this, and if you do this, you will be my best tutor."

Deng Yi simply saluted and resigned and left.

This time when he came out, the eunuchs were more respectful and fearful, and one eunuch came forward to express his affection with concern.

"Teacher." He said softly, "Is this really good?"

Not long after the emperor was poisoned, the crown prince died, and the third prince was doomed to become disabled or dead.

That's the emperor, even if Deng Yi doesn't please him, there's no need to kill his father.

This is the hatred of killing one's father.

This is no longer a question of whether Deng Yi wants to continue to be a tutor, but a question of whether Deng Yi wants to live.

Deng Yi walked slowly, the eunuch carried a lamp, and the imperial guard held a torch, illuminating his place like daylight.

"What I want to be Da Xia's Tai Tuo." He said, "Not his Xiao Xun's Tai Tuo."

He glanced at the eunuch.

"Besides, it's not me who has vengeance against him, but him himself."

The emperor is still the father, it is the choice of Zhongshan Wang Shizi himself, what confidence does he have to blame others.

At this moment, fireworks exploded in the night sky.

Everyone looked up, the guards and eunuchs looked alert, they didn't think it was a joke, at a time like this, someone must be conveying a secret message.

Deng Yi said: "The people who are not the third prince are the prince's people, oh, now it should be the Xie family, and the people of the King of Zhongshan."

What to do

Are you going to attack the city?

Are you going to kill the king?

The eunuchs and guards looked tense, but Deng Yi remained calm and watched the fireworks with great interest.

It's pretty nicely done.

No matter how beautiful the fireworks are, if people dare to come to the imperial city, he will make them look ugly in front of the world.

……

……

After Deng Yi left, the emperor closed his eyes. Even though there were many imperial physicians, eunuchs, guards and guards in the bedroom, it seemed that there was no one alive, and it was dead silent.

Suddenly the emperor opened his eyes, looking at the window with some blank eyes.

"Your Majesty?" The people standing around also came alive, and the eunuchs and doctors rushed forward.

The emperor raised his hand and waved them away, pointing to the window: "There is something bright outside."

Bright?

The eunuchs and imperial physicians saw that it was always bright outside this night, and the whole capital was burning. Of course, those noisy fires were isolated by high walls and deep palaces.

It was almost late at night, and it was indeed brighter than before.

Your Majesty is looking forward to the dawn of the day, so that this horrible thing will pass quickly, right?

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's almost dawn." They said hurriedly.

But the emperor was not appeased, he stood up instead, weak and almost fell off the dragon bed, the eunuchs rushed to support him and persuaded the emperor to lie down, but the emperor refused to listen, lost his temper and insisted on going outside, the eunuchs did not dare to disobey and helped the emperor to come to the door.

The emperor no longer had the strength to step over the threshold, and was supported by the eunuchs to barely stand, looking at the night sky.

The eunuchs and doctors also saw that there were fireworks in the night sky in the distance. At this time, the sparks were dissipating, and the embers were like stars blinking, and an outline could be seen faintly.

What is it?

"Fire," said the Emperor.

His voice was so weak that the eunuchs couldn't hear him clearly for a while.

"What do you want, Your Majesty?" they asked hurriedly.

The emperor looked at the sky, suddenly smiled, and raised his voice: "Flame!"

flame?The eunuchs don't understand, what do you mean?Could it be that His Majesty wants to light a fire?To make things brighter?

……

……

"flame!"

Xie Yanlai stood on the wall of the city gate, looked up at the night sky in the distance, and sneered.

"I don't know who came up with such a ridiculous trick."

"Isn't it just killing people and letting them go?"

The guards standing on the city wall looked at the scattered fireworks, they felt neither good-looking nor ridiculous, they were only terrified.

"What's going on here?" "Who is it?" "Has the number of soldiers on the side of the third prince increased again?" "Yan Lai, it's time to attack the city!"

Xie Yanlai carried a long knife behind his back, and held a bow and crossbow in his hand, with a sneering expression under the light of the torch.

"Siege the city, it's time to attack the city." He said, "The first thing to do is to attack the city. To capture the thief, you must first capture the king. Since you want to be a traitor and beast, what kind of brother should you kill? Just kill Lao Tzu." gone."

Having said that, he sneered.

"A bunch of trash."

"I only thought about besieging the city to keep people out, but I didn't have the guts to come in and kill the emperor."

The guards were dumbfounded.

What did Xie Yan say!horrible.

"Yan Lai, don't care about trash or not." They shouted, "If someone calls, we will be useless."

As soon as the voice fell, the arrow tower in front of it became noisy, like a bonfire that was burning calmly after being doused with a bucket of oil, and it burst into flames.

The sound of fighting, the sound of weapons, and the screams all sounded together, like a strong wind sweeping in, it was suffocating.

The surviving guards all rushed out, standing on the city wall watching, listening to the fierce battle over there, terrified.

Why is it not like gathering soldiers and horses to rush over, but a melee?

A guard said: "Could it be that the prince's people came to kill him?"

Hearing these words, everyone looked at Xie Yanlai with excited expressions.

"Yan Lai—"

Are you ready to fight?The people who killed the third prince together from inside and outside——
