Yu Ning suddenly rushed up from behind holding a dagger. She raised her hands high, and the sharp blade penetrated the guard's weak back neck, and bright red blood spattered her face.
The sudden change made the guards responsible for guarding Xie Chunchao stunned for a moment. In this moment, Xie Chunchao took action without hesitation and killed two more people. She said in a deep voice,
"If you are willing to let me go, I will not hurt you."
After a while, more than half of their number had been lost. The man at the head gritted his teeth and said, "Let you go, we will die too!"
The matter has come to this, and it is useless to talk more. Xie Chunchao stopped talking nonsense with them. The horizontal sword was unsheathed like a dragon swimming out of the sea. Wherever the silver light passed, bright red flowers bloomed.
The wails ebbed and flowed, and one of them took advantage of the chaos to escape when he saw that the situation was not good. Xie Chunchao wanted to catch up, but due to the entanglement of the remaining people, he had to give up for the time being.
After Xie Chunchao finished dealing with the people around him, Yu Ning ran up with trembling hands, her usually fair face covered in red blood, "Princess...Princess Princess."
Her voice had a thick vibrato, and her eyelashes were trembling in fear.
Xie Chunchao held her bloody hand and said, "You are great."
Yu Ning smiled shakily, "I didn't hold the princess back, did I?"
Xie Chunchao smiled and shook his head, "No."
Yu Ning smiled and took out the flare that she had hidden when they entered the palace. She tremblingly lit it with a fire, then pointed it at the night sky. The bright fire light cut through the sky, like A brilliant red flower bloomed in the dark night sky.
At the same time, the King of Liao led his army and stood in the long silent street. He looked up at the red flowers blooming in the sky and said solemnly, "Soldiers! Follow me to attack the palace!"
The broad city gate of Shanling stood quietly in the thick night. A tall and thin soldier under the city tower yawned and said, "It's not peaceful in the imperial city tonight."
"Say less. The affairs of the imperial city have nothing to do with us. We just have to guard our door."
"Hey, what is that?"
"What is that?" the fat short man asked casually, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see the man replying to him. He took a sip of wine, turned back and muttered impatiently, "I was talking to you, Why are you silent all of a sudden?"
His eyes widened suddenly, and before he could scream, a very thin silver needle pierced his forehead, and he opened his mouth wide and hit it.
There were about twenty or thirty soldiers guarding the city gate. These people were quickly and quietly eliminated one by one by the enemies hidden in the night.
The closed city gate was opened from the inside, and another red firework bloomed in the sky.
The child in the city who had not yet fallen asleep propped his head and looked at the sky outside. He shouted in surprise, "Mom, there are fireworks again outside!"
"Isn't the Chinese New Year coming soon?"
"What are you looking at? If you don't go to bed quickly, the wolf will snatch you away if you don't sleep!"
Tens of thousands of Qingqi led by Xie Ningyu had been waiting outside the city for a long time. When he saw another red flower in the sky, he quickly called on his soldiers to rush into the city.
In front of the Taiji Hall, the two gangs were fighting hard to separate themselves. The queen and the third prince paid a great price and finally broke through the gate of the Taiji Hall. The emperor cowered in the hall and the third prince's face was filled with the joy of succeeding to the throne. and proud.
He straightened his clothes and pretended to stand outside the palace and shouted, "Father, your situation is over. It's better to leave this country to your son to take care of it. In the future, you will still be the Supreme Emperor of Chu State, so you can rest in peace and retire in the harem."
The door of Taiji Hall was closed tightly, and no one inside said a word, as if there was no one there.
The third prince waited for a moment, but when he saw that the emperor was silent, he added, "You didn't speak, so I had to ask someone to invite you out."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the soldiers behind him, and the man immediately led many soldiers to smash open the palace door and rush in.
The emperor's roar came from inside, "Beast! You rebellious beast, I am your father, how could you do this to me?!"
"I am the emperor of Chu! How dare you be so rude! I will kill all nine of your tribes!"
The Third Prince: "Father, if you succeed as a king or lose as a bandit, writing me the edict of passing the throne is your last resort."
"I don't want to bear the reputation of patricide, but if you continue to force me, father, I will have no choice but to follow the example of the previous Sui Emperor."
The emperor's face turned purple, and he pointed at the third prince with a trembling hand, "You!"
"Father, will you write this imperial edict or not?!"
The emperor was about to answer when he heard a soldier hurriedly running outside and said in a hurry, "Oh no! The King of Liao suddenly led his troops to attack the imperial city!"
"I said... I said I wanted to side with Lord Qing!"
"What?" The third prince said in shock, with a confused look on his face, "How many people did King Liao bring?"
"About thirty thousand people."
The emperor suddenly laughed loudly, "Hahaha, the King of Liao has come to save me! You rebels are going to be doomed! Why don't you kill them quickly? If you are willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side now, I will forget about it."
The soldiers under the third prince began to panic visibly, and many even began to sway because of the emperor's words.
When the third prince saw this, he said anxiously, "Why are you so stunned?! Why don't you pull him down quickly and ask him to write an abdication decree to me!"
The queen suddenly remembered Xie Chunchao, who was imprisoned in Fengyi Palace by her, and hurriedly gave instructions, "Quick! Go and bring Xie Chunchao to this palace! The King of Liao has always been affectionate towards his daughter, and with Xie Chunchao as a hostage, he will not dare to act rashly!"
The third prince also came to his senses, "Yes, we still have Xie Chunchao!"
"Go and bring Xie Chunchao here!"
"The last general takes orders."
In order to ensure that everything was safe, the queen and the third prince asked Qi Guishan to bring about a hundred troops to escort Xie Chunchao.
Xie Chunchao and Yu Ning were hiding in the rockery in the garden, when bursts of rapid footsteps suddenly came from the front.
Yu Ning asked in a low voice, "Princess Princess, everyone is gathered in Tai Chi Hall now. What are they doing?"
Xie Chunchao raised his eyes and saw that the group of people were well-trained and looked like queens. Judging from the direction they were traveling, they seemed to be going to Fengyi Palace.
Her mind suddenly turned, and she guessed that those people were going for her.
When Qi Guishan led the crowd to the side hall of Fengyi Hall, he found that the place was already empty, and the bodies of many of his comrades were still lying at the door.
"General! Xie Chunchao is missing, what should we do now?"
Qi Guishan also understood the importance of Princess Chunhua. If they could not find her, the victory they had gained with their lives and blood would be completely in vain!
If the empress and the third prince were defeated, he would definitely kill the nine clans for treason!
"Look!" Qi Guishan said coldly, "mobilize all the palace people to search! Even if we turn the palace upside down, we must find Xie Chunchao!"
"Yes."
Qi Guishan gathered the scattered palace people and told them that whoever found the whereabouts of Princess Chunhua would be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver! Career advancement! If you want to leave the palace, the Queen can make an exception and send the person out of the palace in advance.
After hearing the news, all the palace officials spread the news one after another, and spontaneously searched for Xie Chunchao's whereabouts.
The temptation of leaving the palace early was more attractive than gold to the palace people. They were no longer afraid of the soldiers outside, and they all carried palace lanterns like crazy to look for Xie Chunchao.
