Shu Blossoms

Chapter 421 True and False Enemies
"It's not a big deal. How many people want this blessing? Let Dr. Xu stay in the mansion for a few days, don't worry about going back!"

Emperor Zhou also thought about Wei'er, although it was true that the eldest princess was pregnant, but she kept it a secret from the beginning to the end, so she was still angry and sent Zheng Wei to Fuzhou Mountain. I couldn't change anything, so I wanted to take the opportunity to vent my anger on myself.

The two jade pillows just now were probably prepared for him, let Zheng Ye take it for him!
He stood up and patted his brother-in-law, looking at him sympathetically, "It's hard for you!"

"No embarrassment!" Zheng Ye's face was full of joy.

Emperor Zhou had to admire the good vision of the first emperor and elder sister. Although Zheng Ye had no ambitions, he was really kind to the eldest princess!

Gao Han came in at this time and gave Zhou Di a wink, Zhou Di immediately got up and left knowingly.
When Zheng Ye sent Emperor Zhou out, he asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, Xunyang is now weak and misses Wei'er very much. Can Wei'er come back to accompany her mother?"

"Brother-in-law said that Wei'er would be very happy if she knew that she was about to have a younger brother, so she must come back!" Zhou Di nodded in agreement, and Zheng Ye thanked him happily.

Emperor Zhou got on the imperial chariot and left Wutong Lane in a mighty manner. Not long after, another inconspicuous carriage left directly from the side entrance of the Zheng Mansion, also heading towards the imperial palace.

When reaching Gongchen Street, the carriage stopped suddenly, and a group of men in black at the end of the street blocked the way.

Seeing this, the coachman looked around, and immediately there were many people surrounding the carriage, and another group of imperial guards came up to meet him, trying to open a bloody path for the carriage.

When the leader saw such a battle, a triumphant smile flashed in his exposed eyes, "The master expected it well, the emperor of Zhou must be in the carriage, so be cautious!"

The people around him sneered, "What's the use of being cautious, we have found him, and tonight is his death day!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and more than a dozen archers hidden in the surrounding heights immediately aimed at the carriage with their arrows and bows.

The leading man in black glanced at the people around him, and said: "Be careful, if something goes wrong, take everyone away first!"

"No, even if I die here tonight, I will keep Emperor Zhou behind!"

After he finished speaking, he rushed up to the imperial guards who were running, and the black-clothed leader saw a glint in his eyes and then waved his hand, and everyone immediately moved.

The imperial chariot left Gongchen Street smoothly, and when it turned to Yanglou Street, there was a sudden sound of sharp arrows flying in the darkness, and the guards around seemed to have been prepared, and immediately raised their armor shields to surround the imperial chariot. In the surrounding area, there were forbidden troops climbing onto the imperial chariot to block the arrows falling from the sky.

When the first wave of crossbow arrows came, the powerful momentum carried a breath of death, and knocked down a large piece of the armor shield blocking the front, and the imperial guards who were hit by the impact suddenly spit out blood uncontrollably.

This time it was Liu Xin who was in command of the forbidden army. He looked down at the crossbow arrows that almost smashed through the shield, and his face sank into the water, "It's the military crossbow!"

Hearing this, the imperial guards were all shocked. The ordinary bows and crossbows were mixed with more lethal military crossbows, which meant that the enemy facing them might have unusual backgrounds!
Liu Xin quickly regained his composure, held up the long sword in his hand, and shouted: "Rush out!"

The forbidden army shouted, "Rush out!"

Then the frame made of armor and shields moved slowly, moving forward little by little.

However, within a distance of Zhang Xu, a dozen or so people could not withstand the impact of the crossbow arrows and fell down. Liu Xin's eyes lit up, and he said to the people around him: "Although the opponent's army is powerful, there are only two crossbows. , Ordinary crossbow arrows are not dense, so although they attack fiercely, they cannot connect to the gap after one arrow is shot. We must take advantage of this opportunity to speed up. As long as we can survive five rounds of crossbow arrows , we can successfully escape their shooting range!"

The others nodded, "Commander Liu, give the order!"

After they resisted the next wave of shooting, the armored and shielded carriage suddenly accelerated and rushed forward. In the blink of an eye, they ran about ten feet away. At this time, another wave of attack came again. Liu Xin adjusted the arrangement, and he personally After resisting the shooting of the crossbow, the other imperial guards were divided into groups of three, one of them concentrated on resisting the ordinary crossbow shot, and the other two were ready to go, and ran out desperately when the crossbow fell.

In this way, they have survived the fifth round of attacks, and they have reached the end of the street. As long as they rush out of the street, they can escape from danger.

But in the fifth round of attack, two of the three horses of the imperial chariot were shot dead, and only one horse was unable to pull the imperial chariot and the imperial troops on it. The carriage stopped suddenly. In desperation, Liu Xin threw Putting down his armor shield and galloping out, he quickly cut off the reins, held the reins instead of the horses, roared vigorously, and the carriage started to move again.

Seeing that Liu Xin was so desperate, the soldiers around him threw down their armor and shields one after another, grabbed the reins, and the carriage started to run again.

If the imperial army was shot and fell to the ground in the middle, other imperial troops would make up for it. The crossbow arrows did not stop until the imperial chariot ran out of Yanglin Street.

Everyone was overjoyed with the smile of the rest of their lives, Liu Xin suddenly fell to the ground, and the forbidden army surrounded him, and the people in the imperial chariot shouted: "Go to Doctor Luo!"

When the royal guard of honor walked away, two figures suddenly came out of the gloomy street corner, and the person on the right looked at this scene in surprise, "A military crossbow assassinated the emperor, you can't do this, it's too stupid, Zhou How could the emperor be in the imperial chariot?"

"It's stupid, such an obvious trap, why do people still fall into it?" the voice of the person on the left was flat.

"Why?" The figure who started to speak was obviously puzzled.

The other person still said indifferently: "Because this is indeed a trap. Emperor Zhou himself beat himself up and sacrificed so many lives just to frame his courtiers! It's really vicious, I'm still not as good as him!"

"What do you mean?" The person on the right was confused, but the person on the left turned away without explaining.

The person on the right quickly chased after him, and said in a low voice, "You mean he arranged the people who wanted to kill him?"

"Where is he then? In that carriage behind? Do you think those people can make it?"

The two figures got into a dusty carriage, and the man kept asking questions.

The person on the left only said lightly: "No! I really have to leave Jiankang this time and go to Chen County. You can no longer follow me!"

"Why can't you take me with you!" The man muttered unwillingly, but he didn't bother.

Sure enough, as this person guessed, there were not enough men in black to intercept the carriage, and the guards were all elite guards from the imperial army, so they soon fell into a disadvantage.

The leader in black looked at the person who took the lead, "We have to find a way to determine whether Emperor Zhou is in the car. If Emperor Zhou is there, we have to give him a sword even if we die."

"Okay, I'll go!" The person in the lead suddenly exerted strength, killed several imperial guards in a row, and galloped towards the carriage at high speed.
