rebirth will be hard to find

When Cheng Zian and Li Lin came to the palace gate, the prince had already confronted the rebels outside the palace gate for a while.Standing far below the city tower, the two of them could hear His Highness the Crown Prince's shouting: "Seeking to usurp the throne has never come to a good end. Listen up, soldiers downstairs. By His Majesty's decree, if you lay down your weapons now, what you did today, Let it go!"

Immediately, another voice sounded outside the palace gate. Cheng Zian and Li Lin were not familiar with the kings, and they didn't know if it was Zhao Wang shouting: "Don't listen to his nonsense, since we have arrived at the gate of this palace today, if we don't succeed we will Cheng Ren, where is the way out? Putting down our weapons will only make us die faster, and it will also affect our family members, why not fight to the death!"

Cheng Zian and the others came a bit late, and they didn't hear in what name King Zhao raised his soldiers, and where did he bring them, but the movement seemed to be quite loud, and there should be quite a few rebels outside the palace gate.

The capital is at the foot of the emperor, and all the soldiers and horses should be in the hands of the old emperor. The kings can have military power in the fief and can raise private soldiers, but in this capital, only the guards of their palace should be.

When Cheng Zian and Li Lin heard the movement outside, they felt terrified. They were not stupid, so they naturally guessed something.After today, perhaps it will not be as simple as a Zhao Wang Fuzhu. There are probably many people involved in the entire court, especially the generals in charge of the Longsu Camp and the Beijing Suburb Camp. I am afraid that they will have to change. .

The two of them exchanged a look and wanted to go forward, not to mention that Cheng Zian was going to the Prince's side, even if Li Lin came here to check the news, he had to go up to the tower to see the situation, otherwise he could just listen to a few words here from a distance How can we make a difference?

However, just as the two approached a little, before reaching the stairs of the tower, they were stopped by someone.It was a team of Royal Forest Army who stopped people. Their method of blocking people was also very simple and rude. They directly put two knives on people's necks: "Who are you? His Royal Highness has an order that anyone with unknown identities and intentions may be killed!"

The leader of this group of Royal Forest Army stared at the two with scorching eyes, his face was cold and hard, and his gaze was not much different from that of a dead person.In fact, to be honest, he didn't know these two little companions from Linzhi Palace, if it wasn't for these two people who were dressed in bright clothes and looked different from ordinary palace people, I'm afraid they didn't stop people, but went straight to the knife.

Li Lin has the magnanimity and heart of a child of a family, but someone put a knife on his neck unexpectedly, and looked at him with such eyes, his heart couldn't help but jump, and his eyes unconsciously turned to the blade on his neck Look up.

Fortunately, Cheng Zian was calmer than him, and when he even showed his identity, he said: "We are the companions of Her Royal Highness in Linzhi Palace, and we are here to investigate the situation under the order of Her Royal Highness." The blade on his neck was slightly deflected to the side, and then he reached out and took out the seal to prove his identity from his bosom, and handed it to the leader of the Royal Forest Army.

Although the knife on the neck was not put down, it was still farther away from the neck, and it was not so compelling.While Li Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he also hurriedly found out his own seal - they were going to leave the palace, so they carried this kind of thing with them, instead of following Chu Yi all day long, They don't necessarily carry this thing with them.

The leader of the imperial forest army read the seals of the two men and did not return the things to them, let alone let them put down the knife. He just said "wait" and ran up the tower in person.

Cheng Zian guessed that he should go to the Shangguan or the crown prince for instructions, so he was not in a hurry and just waited here patiently.Li Lin also gradually regained his composure, no longer always looked at the blade on his shoulder, but raised his head to look at the situation on the tower.

Just standing under the city tower and taking a look, even a person like Li Lin who has no military knowledge can tell that the palace should have been prepared for the rebels long ago.Otherwise, it would be impossible for there to be so many Imperial Forest Army and Habayashi Guards on the tower, and it would be impossible for all kinds of defensive equipment to be so well prepared, not to mention that the tower now looks orderly, and it doesn't look like a sudden rebellion at all!

Cheng Zian just glanced at it, and he had a bottom line in his heart.Although she didn't know the origin of the rebellion, nor did she know what His Highness the Crown Prince had planned, but she was clearly prepared.According to His Royal Highness' plan, everything in the palace is ready, and arrangements will be indispensable in Beijing. Chu Yi asked her to come this time, probably to let her practice her hands and see blood.

The two of them were thinking, after His Royal Highness on the tower and the rebels outside the palace gate yelled a few times, they heard someone outside the palace gate shouting: "Stop talking, he is delaying time! If we lose today, we will all be defeated." Can't survive, kill!"

As soon as the words fell, there were shouts of killing outside the palace gate, and countless arrows shot on the tower, and some even flew directly into the palace gate.

An arrow slanted through Li Lin's hair, and landed on the bluestone floor not far behind him. He was so startled that he subconsciously turned sideways and broke out in cold sweat.However, even so, the knife on his neck still didn't move away, and followed him like a shadow, and the guard holding the knife shouted in a calm voice: "Don't move!"

Li Lin's body froze for a moment, and he said with a sad face, "If you don't move, you still let me stand here and let the rebels shoot?!"

Seeing that the two sides were already fighting, Cheng Zian felt a little anxious, but he didn't dare to take the knife rashly and go up by himself.She frowned, her eyes fixed on the tower, and occasionally she turned sideways to avoid the arrows that shot in.

After waiting like this for a while, the rain of arrows stopped, but soon there were shouts of killing on the city tower, it should be that the two sides fought hand-to-hand.

Cheng Zian was afraid that the prince might lose something, so anxious that his brows became tighter and tighter, and he really wanted to pull Chu Yi here, and let her personally order him to let him go.Fortunately, not long after, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army who went upstairs to ask for instructions came back. He waved his hands to let the two of them go, and said quickly: "Okay, His Royal Highness said that the fighting here is too chaotic, let you go back , just tell Her Royal Highness that there is no problem."

After saying this, the leader turned around and ran upstairs again, as if he was preparing to go into battle to kill the enemy.

When the knife on Cheng Zian's neck was put down, he quickly snatched the knife from the Imperial Forest Army: "I'm going up to the tower, and His Highness asked me to protect the crown prince. Li Lin will just go back and report."

At this juncture, Cheng Zian's act of grabbing the knife and going upstairs was obviously very dangerous, and several imperial guards were almost about to attack.The same leader turned his head again, but before he could say anything, he saw Cheng Zian rushing past him to the tower like a gust of wind.

When Cheng Zian ran up the tower, he saw that the tower had already been smashed into one piece, with lying corpses and blood splattered everywhere.As soon as she rushed up the tower, a rebel stabbed at her with a gun. Without thinking about it, she dodged sideways, then grabbed the barrel of the gun, and slashed at the rebel with a knife.

Bright red blood sprayed all over her body, instantly dyeing a large area of ​​her light blue brocade robe red.She let go of the hand holding the gun, and couldn't help but frown slightly when she saw the fallen corpse, but before she could think more, another rebel came over with a knife.

Cheng Zian gritted her teeth, and took the initiative to meet him. She dodged the knife on her side, raised her leg and kicked the man out, and before the man got up, she took a step forward, and slashed the knife neatly. wiped the man's neck.

This time the blood sprayed onto Cheng Zian's face, and the scarlet blood stained her Yuru's cheeks, staining her overly delicate face with a bit of ferocity.Looking up again, before those rebels came to find her, she carried a knife and killed all the way.

In this way, Cheng Zian quickly got used to the battlefield.The Cheng family seemed to belong to the battlefield. Even though Cheng Zian's heart was still shaking when she killed the first person, her hand holding the knife was always so firm. No matter how many enemies she faced, she went forward bravely.

When she first set foot on the tower, Cheng Zian wanted to find the crown prince, but at this time the tower was already in chaos, and she took the time to look around several times when she was killing the enemy, but she didn't see anyone.In the current situation, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not leave easily, but where he should be supervising the battle, but she doesn't know where he is, so she can only choose a direction at random and kill all the way there.

A road was almost at an end, and there was no sign of the prince. Cheng Zian finally grabbed a young general who was dressed in the Royal Forest Army uniform and looked at some identities and asked, "Where is the prince?"

The young general was covered in blood, and he was obviously red-eyed. He turned his head and saw that Cheng Zian was not wearing the clothes of Yulinjun or Yulinwei, let alone the prince's guard. He even asked about the whereabouts of the prince, so he didn't even think about it Turn back and chop with a knife.

Fortunately, Cheng Zian saw the opportunity quickly, and felt as if he raised his hand and held down the young general's hand.The young general also reacted quickly, he kicked Cheng Zi'an's lower body without any fuss.

Cheng Zian hurriedly raised his foot to stop him, and shouted again: "I am Cheng Jie from Linzhi Temple, and my Highness asked me to protect the crown prince!"

The young general had never heard of Cheng Jie's name, but he still knew the Linzhi Temple in the East Palace. After hearing this sentence, he stopped his hand a little, and happened to catch a glimpse of a rebel trembling with Habayashi Wei out of the corner of his eye, pulling his hand away. He chopped it down with a knife.

After the man was cut down, he had time to take a look at Cheng Zian.Although Cheng Zian looked like a bloody person at this moment, she didn't wear the military uniforms of both sides, and the material of the clothes seemed to be either rich or expensive.The young general hesitated for a moment, and finally pointed in one direction: "Before the battle, His Royal Highness was over there."

Cheng Zi'an thanked him, and hurriedly headed in that direction to kill him.

The Imperial Forest Army and Habayashi Guards were all dressed in red, while the rebels outside the city were wearing black military uniforms. In such a sea of ​​people, His Highness the Crown Prince in apricot yellow uniform was not only conspicuous, but also looked like a signboard.

Cheng Zian went all the way in the direction pointed by the young general, and saw the apricot yellow from a distance, but it was not easy for her to take a step closer - there were countless people fighting between the two of them , or to capture the king, or to guard.
