princess regent lifted from her grave

The appearance of the Red Forest Army eliminated most of the guards in the palace, and the shower of arrows was also blocked by the palace gate that had been erected.

Those black-clothed killers have been beheaded cleanly.

The guards in the main hall who had turned into soft-legged shrimps after smelling Mu Fengyan's medicinal powder had already been shot into sieves by the torrential arrows.

Qing Feng, Mu Xiu, Fifth Prince and Ye Zicheng were able to catch their breath.

Except for Mu Fengyan and Ye Lijue, the faces or bodies of the rest of the people were covered in blood, but luckily they were not injured.

Mu Fengyan quickly glanced at the people in the hall, except for those who just took the antidote and felt unwell, the rest of the people were not injured, and Mu Fengyan was relieved.

However, the breath did not last long.

Seeing that the gate of the palace opposite had been erected, the commanding officer on the opposite palace sent additional men, two thousand elite crossbowmen, and shot at the gate of the opposite palace and the people inside the palace one after another without stopping.

The gate of the palace, which was already full of arrows and crumbling, experienced a new round of arrows like a torrential rain, and it was simply vulnerable.

At this time, under the guidance of Qingyun, the Red Forest Army led by Commander He had already arrived at the place where the crossbowman was.

As soon as the Red Forest Army arrived outside the palace, a large number of guards who had been hiding in the dark swarmed out, holding swords in their hands, and swung their swords at the Red Forest Army. There was a new round of fierce fighting between the two forces.

Although Qingyun was in a hurry, if the guards in front of him didn't solve it, the crossbowman above him couldn't solve it with his own strength.

The situation on Mu Fengyan's side in the main hall is still not good.

The gate of the palace collapsed, and the torrential rain of arrows came again, but this time it was more violent than before, and the number of arrows continued to increase.

The people in the hall hurriedly swung their swords to knock down the rapidly shooting arrows to the ground. They swung their swords extremely fast, but there were so many arrows and the speed was fierce.

Ye Lijue tightly guarded Mu Fengyan behind him, while looking around, they had to find a place to avoid the more violent arrows as soon as possible, otherwise they would be exhausted after a long time.

Mu Fengyan dealt with the remaining guards behind Ye Lijue.

When the few of them were fighting fiercely, the last batch of black-clothed killers reappeared from the secret passage, and while shooting down arrows, they poured the kerosene from the pot in their hands all around the hall. Fierce arrows shot him on the spot.

Ye Lijue and Mu Fengyan smelled a pungent smell at the same time, and when they looked up, it was too late to stop them, but few of the men in black who had sprayed the kerosene could escape the shower of arrows Most of the people were shot and killed in the hall, and fell on the bodies of the guards in the hall.

Then a person suddenly appeared in the secret passage, holding a torch, and was about to throw it on the kerosene, but Mu Fengyan, who had been paying attention to the secret door, stared straight at him.

She threw the smoke dart quickly, trying to knock the fire aside, and the smoke dart did knock the fire aside.

But the man in black seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and quickly threw a second fire bag, fled quickly, and all the secret doors in the hall were quickly closed.

Immediately after the sound of 'coaxing', the fire ignited quickly. With the support of kerosene, the fire in the hall became more and more intense. The blazing flames spread in all directions, and the raging fire had already begun to burn the items in the hall.

In the red sea of ​​flames, black smoke is also rolling.

Ye Lijue immediately hugged Mu Fengyan into his arms, and said coldly to the others, "Get out of the hall."

Everyone glanced at the direction of the apse. It seems that the apse is not a place to hide, and the fire should spread to the apse soon.

Just as the smoke filled the air, Mu Xiu was accidentally shot with an arrow in her left arm.

After Qingyun saw it, he quickly came to the front of Mu Xiu and blocked the arrow for her, with unconscious anxiety in his tone,

"Are you OK?"

Mu Xiu responded hastily, "I'm fine, let's leave this hall quickly."

Qingyun was in front of Mu Xiu and shot down most of the arrows for her.

While wielding their swords and shooting down arrows, several people quickly retreated to the outside of the hall. If it was too late, the beams in the hall would be burned and collapsed.

The commander on the opposite side didn't seem to have expected that a fire would suddenly ignite in the hall,

The emperor's secret decree did not state that there would be a fire.

He made the crossbowmen pause to shoot their arrows.

When Mu Fengyan and Ye Lijue rushed out of the hall, the arrows on the opposite side also stopped shooting.

After standing still, what Mu Fengyan saw was the arrow on Mu Xiu's left arm.

She was startled, and hurried forward to check. When she saw that the blood flowing from Mu Xiu's left arm was black, her cold eyes were filled with anger. These arrows were actually smeared with poison. So many arrows The arrows are all highly poisonous, which shows that the emperor really spared no expense to take their lives.

Mu Fengyan quickly took out the antidote elixir and hemostasis pill from her sleeve bag, and asked Mu Xiu to take it.

Mu Fengyan hurriedly glanced at the people sent by Shangguan's father again, and saw that most of them were also damaged. The people who had inhaled some poisonous mist before, because of the fire in the hall and the torrential rain of arrows, finally died. Did not escape from the palace.

Mu Fengyan's eyes were full of guilt and sadness, she didn't protect Shangguan's father well.

She then looked at the Red Forest Army in front of Ye Lijue. The Red Forest Army didn't suffer much damage. After all, they had experienced many battles, plus daily training, except for some skin trauma, everything else was fine.

Mu Fengyan raised her sharp eyes again and looked towards the opposite side. These arrows, like a shower, were all shot from the opposite side.

After seeing the scene on the opposite side clearly, the sharpness in Mu Fengyan's eyes became more intense, the emperor really found a good place, the second floor of the opposite palace is really spacious, enough to accommodate thousands of elite crossbowmen.

At this time, the commander on the opposite side also shouted loudly. Although there were always sounds of swords and swords coming from around, his shouts were still particularly abrupt and clear in this silent night.

"Regent, quickly hand over the token of commanding the Chilin Army, and I will spare your life, otherwise I will continue to shoot arrows. Now you have nothing to lose, and your lives are in the hands of this general."

Ye Lijue stared coldly at the person opposite who was shouting arrogantly, and then glanced at the two parties who were still fighting underneath.

It seems that the emperor had ambushed many guards here before, and by the light of the fire, he could see clearly that some of them were dressed in shadow guards,

Ye Lijue narrowed his eyes, he was still a little puzzled at the time, the emperor had thousands of shadow guards, how could the few dozens of people who appeared before were all arranged here.
