The rebels had already broken through the outer gates of the palace, but Duan Wuji did not order his subordinates to attack further in. Instead, Chen Bing sent someone in to deliver a letter to Emperor Longqing on the square in front of the Jinluan Hall. This was the prince's promise to Duan Wuji. The bottom line is to avoid raising troops to force the palace, not to be disrespectful to Emperor Longqing and his concubines, and not to kill the king.

Just after a fierce battle in the square, the corpses of the forbidden army and the rebel army were lying all over the place. The blood stained the palace gate, city wall, and floor tiles blood red. Soldiers in strong and sharp clothes held torches in their hands, and the flames illuminated the night like day.

More than a dozen members of King Lie's family, as well as other imperial relatives, important court officials, men and women, old and young, about a hundred people, were all tied up as hostages and knelt in a row in front of the imperial steps of the Golden Luan Hall, standing behind them with their hands in their hands. Whether the soldiers with the long sword lived or died was only a matter of Duan Wuji's order.

"Duan Wuji! You cruel, disrespectful, ungrateful, despicable villain! Scum! You will definitely be punished!"

King Lie knew that Duan Wuji hated himself to the bone, even if he bowed his head to Duan Wuji at this time, it might not be useful, so he simply went all out and yelled at Duan Wuji who was standing in front of him.

A leader of the rebel army wanted to please Duan Wuji, so he slapped Lie Wang forcefully, and threatened: "Be honest! No matter how dirty your mouth is, be careful with your head!"

King Lie spat on Duan Wuji with a mouthful of blood foam. Anyway, there is no escape, so it is better to scold him before he dies, "Duan Wuji, even if you become the emperor, you will be punished by all people if you are not in the right position." Spite and slander for thousands of years, everyone gets it and punishes it!"

Duan Wuji was not angry when he heard King Lie's curse, he waved his hands to make his subordinates step aside, looked at King Lie with a half-smile, mockingly said: "Is the position not right? My father is the crown prince, and I am the grandson of the emperor. The throne was supposed to be passed on to us, so why not say it wrong? Now, I just pushed back the time for my father to succeed to the throne, but this is also what you forced me to do."

Lie Wang looked up to the sky and laughed three times. After laughing, he glared at Duan Wuji angrily and said loudly: "Fart! You father and son, one is mediocre and incompetent, the other is violent and heartless, you are not worthy of inheriting the throne at all! If you do unrighteous actions, you will die yourself. I won't spare you!"

Duan Wuji was too lazy to argue with King Lie any more, and asked his subordinates: "What time is it, do you have any news from the person who went in to deliver the letter?"

The subordinate replied: "Go back to Your Highness, it's already Haishi. You haven't come back yet."

Duan Wuji understood Emperor Longqing's stubborn temper rather than tiles, and he might not give in easily until the last moment, but he didn't have so much time to work, so he had to fight quickly to get Emperor Longqing back before dawn. Write the abdication edict, otherwise, the longer the time drags on, the more out of control the situation will become.

Duan Wuji glanced at the crowd, and suddenly raised his finger to the eldest son of King Lie, "Bring him here to me."

Two soldiers immediately lifted him out of the crowd, and the eldest son of Lie Wang was so frightened that he was paralyzed and cried out for help: "What are you doing? Father! Father, save me!"

Lie Wang and his wife saw that the soldiers had taken their son away, and they were also very anxious. All the female family members of Lie Wang's mansion were crying and crying. Lie Wang struggled to stand up, but was held down by two soldiers, lying on the ground. He shouted: "Duan Wuji! What are you going to do! If you dare to touch my son, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go!"

Duan Wuji glanced coldly at this cousin, and waved his hand. A soldier with a knife got the instruction, raised the knife in his hand high, raised the knife with his hand, and immediately chopped off the head of the eldest son of King Lie. !

All the hostages at the scene were terrified when they saw the dead, worried about their own fate, begging for mercy everywhere, Princess Lie suddenly saw her son die tragically on the spot, couldn't bear the blow, she screamed, rolled her eyes up and passed out, King Lie Even more grief and indignation, staring at Duan Wuji with tearful eyes, wishing to eat his flesh raw.

At this time, Duan Wuji had no time to care about the relationship between flesh and blood. Tonight, either these people will die or he will die. Every incense stick, I will kill a descendant of the Duan family until he is willing to write the edict of abdication."

King Lie scolded angrily: "Duan Wuji! You will suffer retribution for doing so! You must die a terrible death!"

The head of the eldest son of King Lie was sent to Emperor Longqing, and the face between grandparents and grandchildren was completely torn, but Emperor Longqing still refused to write down the edict of abdication. After one stick of incense was burned out, another stick of incense was lit. After Ji killed three grandsons of Emperor Longqing in a row, his subordinates reminded him that Zi Shi had passed.

The night has many dreams, and I can't wait any longer. Since the old man is so stubborn, Duan Wuji glanced across the crowd, with a gloomy chill in his sharp eyes, and suddenly pointed at King Lie and said, "Since the emperor doesn't care about his grandson, then send him to King Lie." head in."

King Lie scolded all night, his voice became hoarse, he knew that Duan Wuji would not let him off, and seeing that it was finally his turn, he was not afraid, and raised his head to the sky and said loudly: "Royal Father! Did you see that? This is the good grandson you have loved for many years! The death of a son is not a pity, you must not compromise with the rebellious ministers and thieves! Duan Wuji, I curse you to cut off your descendants and go to the eighteenth floor of hell after death!"

The soldiers escorted King Lie to kneel in front of Duan Wuji. An executioner aimed his knife at King Lie's neck and was about to chop it off. Suddenly, a feathered arrow came from nowhere. Fang Xiang shouted: "Who is it!"

"Oh, the shot missed. It seems that the technique has not yet passed the test, and you have to practice hard."

The voice of a young man with a light and narrow tone suddenly sounded above everyone's heads. Duan Wuji turned around to look for the source of the voice, and finally found a dark figure at a corner on the west side of the tower.

Duan Wuji shouted coldly: "Who is sneaking around, why don't you hurry up!"

As soon as the words fell, a torch was lit on the tower, illuminating the face of the person who shot in the back, Duan Wuji looked intently, it was Bai Jinfu!

"It turned out to be you. If there is a way to heaven, you don't go, if there is no way to hell, you cast yourself, even a clown dares to show up. Since you saved King Lie, I will send your head in first." Duan Wuji looked at Bai Jin Fu's figure sneered contemptuously, waved his hand and ordered his subordinates: "Take him down!"

"As ordered!"

Seeing that Bai Jinfu was alone on the tower, the rebels gathered together and were about to rush up the tower. Suddenly, seven or eight men in black with bows and arrows appeared from behind Bai Jinfu. These dead soldiers trained by the Jiang family for many years But it wasn't Bai Jinfu, all the archery skills were superb, every shot hit every shot, and all the arrows were shot without fail, and the rebels who rushed over fell down in a moment.

Duan Wuji sneered nonchalantly and said, "There is still a helper, do you think you are the only one with bows and arrows? Where is the archer!"

A row of well-trained archers immediately stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and drew the bowstring, aiming the arrow at the position where Bai Jinfu was standing, and with Duan Wuji's order, Bai Jinfu could be shot into a a sieve.

"I'll see who dares!" Bai Jinfu pointed at Duan Wuji condescendingly and shouted, "Duan Wuji, if you don't even care about your father's life, then order to do it!"

After finishing speaking, two people slowly stepped forward from the shadow behind Bai Jinfu, one of them was bloated and potbellied, whoever he was if he wasn't the prince!

As for the other person, after Duan Wuji recognized who it was, he nearly gritted his silver teeth, pulled out the Qingfeng sword from his waist, pointed at that person and roared, "Duan Heng! How dare you betray me!"

Duan Wuji led troops to fight against the forbidden army in the palace, but his prince father was a big fat man with limited mobility and couldn't do the job of leading troops to fight, so Duan Wuji entrusted the task of guarding the East Palace to his most trusted man. Duan Heng, he can't be fighting in the front, but the backyard is on fire.

But he never dreamed that Duan Heng, who has always been obedient to him, would turn against him and betray himself at this time!

Duan Heng was still a little afraid of Duan Wuji, he shrank his neck and staggered to persuade: "You, you stop now, you, this is a rebellion, kowtow to Grandpa Huang to admit his mistake, Grandpa Huang may, may forgive me about you……"

Seeing the change in the situation, King Lie was so happy, he looked at Duan Wuji and laughed, "Hahaha! Good! Good! The retribution came so fast! Duan Wuji, your death is coming soon!"

"Shut up!" Duan Wuji lifted the sword and placed it on King Lie's neck, with a stern expression, "Duan Tingxu, even if I'm going to die, I'll pull you as a back up first!"

"Wuji! Stop! Don't make the same mistake again!" The crown prince hastily shouted to stop Duan Wuji. He promised that Duan Wuji's forcing the palace was a helpless act. After hearing that Duan Wuji had killed many royal families in the East Palace, , My heart was full of remorse, watching my son tearfully said, "Son, don't be obsessed with it anymore, we have already lost, stop now, there is still a glimmer of life!"

"Defeated? No! I'm not defeated! I'm about to succeed!" Duan Wuji's eyes were scarlet, and he waved the long sword in his hand, excitedly said, "Father! If you didn't look forward and backward, and be timid, this world would have been Our father and son! Are you so afraid of Grandpa Huang? He is old! This day should have changed! Father, please bear with me. When I kill Duan Tingxu, Grandpa Huang will definitely give in. , he is only your son, if he does not pass the throne to you, who else can he pass it on to? Could it be passed on to this bastard of unknown origin?!"

Bai Jinfu, who was scolded for no reason, was a little unhappy, and smashed the railing on the tower twice with the bow and arrow in his hand, "Duan Wuji, you rebelled if you rebelled, why are you still attacking yourself? I invite you to provoke you." gone?"

Duan Wuji didn't want to waste any more time on verbal disputes, so he raised the sword in his hand and ordered: "Everyone obey orders! Follow me into the palace!"

At this point, he could no longer care about the promise he made to the crown prince that he would not harm Emperor Longqing. He captured the emperor alive and forced him to write an abdication edict, and everything would be over!

Just when Duan Wuji was about to lead the rebels to rush into the inner palace, someone rushed in from outside the palace gate, shouting all the way: "Your Highness! Your Highness! The situation has changed! The Longwu Army and the patrol battalion have already arrested us. Everyone is surrounded!"

When Duan Wuji heard this, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky slashed at him, he was stunned on the spot, and asked with ashen face: "What? Long Wujun! Why did they come here?"

Originally, in the capital, most of the forbidden army has been controlled by Duan Wuji, not to mention there are [-] soldiers from the machine battalion, the strength of the patrol battalion is not to be feared, but why did the Longwu army suddenly come out?

Bai Jinfu on the city tower was relieved when he heard the military report. He had already made a plan when he expected that Duan Wuji would jump over the wall in a hurry today. The patrol battalion was Han Yucheng's force. It is said that it can withstand the offensive for a while.

The Longwu Army is the nearest defender to the capital, and it takes about three hours to go back and forth from the capital to the Longwu Army barracks. Bai Jinfu gave Jing Yu the tiger amulet and asked him to hurry out of the city to dispatch troops to rescue him, and he stayed behind He and Duan Heng controlled the East Palace and arrested the prince as a hostage to delay time, but they didn't expect Duan Wuji to be a bastard who eats weights-he was so determined to rebel that he didn't even care about his father's life.

If he really rushed into the inner palace and took the old emperor as a hostage just now, then the matter would really be difficult to handle.

Fortunately, rescue came in time.

Bai Jinfu heard the orderly sound of hooves and footsteps coming from outside the palace. It was the reinforcements coming. The chaos of the night would soon come to an end.
