Great Tang princess

Chapter 791 Action

The carriage galloped all the way on the streets of Dongdu as night fell, but the carriage did not shake much.

Zhang Jianzhi looked at the passers-by through the glass window, and some of them turned their heads to look at the carriage running wildly with great curiosity.

He couldn't help sighing, the country has really changed tremendously over the years.

So much so that the old man felt a little uncomfortable seeing it.

I vaguely remember that there was a curfew when I was young, except for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, no one could be seen on the streets at night.

However, nowadays, as long as the streets are bigger, they are brightly lit, as if every day is the Lantern Festival.

The prosperity of the country represents the prosperity of the people's livelihood, and there is nothing wrong with such a country.

The only thing I couldn't see was probably because a woman was sitting on the dragon chair.

If this can be corrected, then this is a perfect country.

Perhaps tonight is the chance to correct this mistake.

The other people in the carriage also had complicated expressions on their faces. Naturally, they could all see the progress of the country.

At the same time, I also hope that the country will always be so stable and beautiful.

The carriage galloped all the way to the imperial city.

Zhang Jianzhi was shocked. He wanted to ask Sun Jingbang, who was driving the car, but saw that the inner guard who guarded the city let him in without saying anything.

After arriving at the East Palace all the way, just as they got off the car, they saw Li Xian was already waiting for them in the yard.

"Your Highness, this..."

"It's too late to explain, everyone quickly follow me to Xuanwumen!"

Without further ado, Li Xian pulled Wei Lian'er into the carriage, and Sun Jingbang let the carriage drive again.

Now this four-wheeled carriage has a lot of space, and seven or eight people can sit in it.

After driving again, Zhang Jianzhi couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, why are you so eager all of a sudden?"

"Everyone doesn't know, the sage suddenly called Shangguan Wan'er into the palace today, and she hasn't appeared until now." Li Xian explained.

"But even so,..." Pei Tan was a little confused, didn't he just ask Shangguan Wan'er to enter the palace, what's the matter.

After all, she is a member of Fenggeshe, so it stands to reason that she should always stay by the emperor's side.

However, Wei Lian'er shook her head: "Today's evening, I received a secret report from the secret guard, and I overheard the sage questioning Shangguan Wan'er in Jixian Hall, whether she knows about the prince's recent actions."

"This... the sage found out?" Yan Yanfan asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"I don't know the details, but I just heard this sentence." Li Xian shook his head, "But it's too late to think about it, so Gu decided to act tonight to prevent the night from having more dreams."

Zhang Jianzhi nodded to express his understanding: "Then Shangguan Wan'er is a princess after all, if she says something that shouldn't be said, it will be really troublesome..."

At this time, Pei Tan raised his own question again: "But Your Highness, how will Shangguan Wan'er handle it then?"

"Don't worry, everyone, Yuechen has been close to me since childhood, as long as she doesn't kill Shangguan Wan'er, the big thing will be done by then, and she won't take too much care when she comes back." Li Xian replied.

Everyone nodded to express their understanding.

That's what the news I received back then said, the princess didn't want blood relatives to kill each other.

At that time, anyway, the matter will be settled, and my brother will become the emperor. As long as she has no intention of rebelling, then there is no way to say anything more.

As for whether he has the idea of ​​becoming an emperor... the prince said he was relieved, so they couldn't say anything more.

And judging from the performance of the princess in these years, it is true that she is not the material to be an emperor.

She likes to study all kinds of strange skills and ingenuity, and invent those magical objects. Such a person should not like to sit on the dragon chair all day.

Pei Tan asked again: "But Your Highness, is there enough people for the operation tonight?"

"Well, with the help of the fourth brother, Cheng Qi brothers have already led people to set off, and they must be able to reach Xuanwu Gate at the same time as me. Tonight's guards of Xuanwu Gate are also Lian Er's people, no problem!"

Hearing this sentence, everyone felt relieved and didn't say anything more.

What they don't know is that not only the guards of the Xuanwu Gate will be responsible for cooperating tonight, but also some of the inner guards who patrolled the former imperial city will participate.

The carriage galloped all the way to Xuanwumen, and just when it came to a stop, a huge black lacquered monster gradually came to the square from a distance.

Looking carefully, it turned out that several four-wheeled vehicles several feet long were slowly moving over.

"This is..." Pei Tan was startled, and subconsciously took two steps back.

"Don't be afraid. This is the car that Yuechen researched. It is responsible for transporting military supplies. I borrowed it from my brother." Li Xian replied.

The existence of the steam car is currently unknown to outsiders, so Pei Tan will have this reaction after seeing it.

In addition, this thing is driven by steam, and the sound is not very loud, so it was not heard by everyone until it came to the square.

After the four trucks came to a steady stop, the rear fence was opened, and the soldiers in camouflage uniforms jumped out of the trucks in an orderly manner, and quickly gathered in the open space in front of the square.

At this time, the door of Xuanwu Gate also opened slowly with a "creak".

Then dozens of inner guards ran out and raised their hands to salute Li Xian: "His Royal Highness!"

"Excuse me, what's going on?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, no one has been alarmed!"

Li Xian nodded: "Okay!"

Then he turned his head and said: "Let's go to Jixian Temple with Gu!"

Of course they would not refuse this request, since the Dragon's Achievement was right in front of them, how could they give up.

At this time Li Chengqi also came over: "Uncle, everything is ready!"

"Okay, let's go to Jixian Temple together!" Li Xian nodded, waved his hand, and led the people inside.

Li Chengqi immediately gave an order to divide the soldiers into two parts, one part opened the way in front, and the other part protected the rear.

A team of hundreds of people walked towards Jixian Temple in a dense manner.

It was quiet at first, and nothing special happened.

Pei Tan was about to ask if it was a little too smooth, when suddenly a sharp whistle from an arrow pierced the sky.

Li Chengqi was by Li Xian's side at this moment. Hearing this voice, he looked up: "No, I've been spotted, speed up!"

The soldiers in front agreed in unison, and immediately ran forward.

"Uncle, hurry up!"

"Good good..."

After agreeing, Li Xian also started to run.

Just after passing the corner of Anfu Hall, there was a sound of messy footsteps ahead.

Looking up, I saw a group of dark inner guards had already drawn out the knife that was almost as long as a person, and shouted at this side: "Who is it? How dare you trespass the palace?!"

The inner guard's knife was made by Li Yuechen's imitation of the Miao knife. It is more than 1.5 meters long, and it has a terrifying suppressive force when held in his hand.

Although it is a bit difficult to pull out this kind of knife, it is not a ritual weapon, and it really has actual combat capabilities.

"Protect His Royal Highness and rush over!" Li Chengqi roared, then turned his head and said, "Your Highness, hurry up, my nephew is here to hold them back!"

As he spoke, without waiting for Li Xian to reply, he drew out his ax and rushed towards the inner guard in front.

Seeing the fight started, everyone was a little confused, but the soldiers behind immediately rushed them forward.

And the soldiers in front were just separated from the space they could pass through.

Suddenly, the sound of weapons colliding resounded throughout the palace.

Zhang Jianzhi and others were a little nervous, subconsciously being protected by the soldiers to pass through the crowd in the melee.

They subconsciously glanced around, seeing the flames splashed by the collision of weapons everywhere.

At the same time, a soldier was seen chopping on the back of an inner guard with an axe, and then the man screamed and fell to the ground with a mouthful of blood.

Such a scene would of course make people nervous, so they had no choice but to run quickly with the soldiers and pass quickly.

The road here is not too long, and he quickly broke through the encirclement of these inner guards and ran behind the corner.

Li Xian panted heavily and waved his hands: "No, no, I can't run alone..."

The soldier next to him quickly reminded: "Your Highness can't do it, these people are few, it's just because the inner guards can't enter the back court on weekdays. If you delay here, when the people from the previous court rush in, then everything will be over!"

Hearing the soldier's explanation, Zhang Jianzhi and others also advised: "Yes, Your Highness, we can't stop."

Although they were running out of breath, they really couldn't stop at this time.

Li Xian had no choice but to continue running with them in order to act more realistically.

On the other side, after they were all gone, the soldier who vomited blood stood up abruptly: "Bah bah... this chicken blood is really disgusting... who brought the water bottle?"

"Shut up, you haven't gone far yet!" Li Chengqi who was on the side came over and slashed at him again.

"oops--"

The soldier uttered an exaggerated scream, then fell limply on the ground, and then changed to a more comfortable position: "Go over there and fight, don't step on me."

And Li Chengqi commanded from the side: "If you are dead, don't move! If you come out later and see something wrong, it will easily arouse suspicion! Lie where you are!"

Then he called the messenger next to him: "Go to the court and tell them that they are almost ready, and then inform the inner guard over there that we can start."

"Yes!"

The messenger promised, and immediately ran to inform the inner guard.

The inner guards had already made preparations, and all the death-row prisoners in Yeting were changed into camouflage uniforms.

After changing them, drive them to the vicinity of Qiujing Gate and Qianhua Gate, and then hack all these people to death with axes and seedling knives.

The corpse was placed on the ground, so we will not deal with it for the time being.

……

On the other side, in Jixian Hall.

Disjointed sounds could already be heard here, and Wu Zetian, who was listening to Zhang Yizhi's music, raised his hand to signal him to stop.

Then he turned his head and listened carefully, and frowned: "What kind of sound? Go out and have a look!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Yizhi didn't have any doubts, and immediately turned around and went out to see what was going on.

On the other side, Shangguan Wan'er got up and said: "Your Majesty, go to the inner hall first, Wan'er is waiting here."

"Well, there will be outsiders around Saburo at that time, so don't be discovered."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Shangguan Wan'er agreed with a smile, and then helped her into the inner hall to rest.

……

After Zhang Yizhi came out of Jixian Temple, he took a closer look and found nothing unusual.

Just as he was about to go back, he suddenly heard a burst of chaotic footsteps coming this way.

Turning around, I suddenly saw a group of black soldiers running over.

This made him froze in place. Although he said he had never experienced it before, the army would break into the palace without orders. This is not normal in itself!
Before he could react, he saw this group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms voluntarily parting ways, and several gorgeously dressed people came out slowly.

"Huh...huh..."

Li Xian, Zhang Jianzhi and the others came out panting heavily, with beads of sweat on their foreheads, and their clothes were basically soaked in sweat.

Even Wei Lian'er had disheveled hair at this time, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"This...His Royal Highness?"

Zhang Yizhi was a little dazed, and then seemed to think of something, and said with a look of horror: "This...is this a rebellion?"

"Rebellion?" Li Xian chuckled, "Zhang Wulang, you dog slave wouldn't expect to see Gu at this time, would you?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it, and the soldier next to him immediately put a shotgun in his hand.

Zhang Yizhi didn't know what a shotgun was, but he saw that the court ladies and some inner guards around the emperor usually held it, so he knew it should be some kind of weapon.

Suddenly panicked, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "His Royal Highness, please forgive me, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Wei Lian'er took a step forward: "Hmph, usually you don't salute me when you see me, why do you look like this today?"

"I beg the princess to spare..." Zhang Yizhi said tremblingly.

However, Li Xian loaded the gun with a "click" and pulled the trigger directly at him.

"boom--"

The sound of gunpowder explosion was very obvious at night, while Zhang Yizhi's body flew upside down for more than one meter, and fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

The sudden gunshot shocked Pei Tan and the others. Looking carefully, Zhang Yizhi's still twitching body had several blood holes.

Although it has been known for a long time that this thing is amazingly powerful, it is really unexpected that it will be so terrifying when it hits a person.

After the gunshot, the gate of Jixian Palace suddenly opened, and dozens of maids rushed out in an orderly manner and stood at the gate.

Surprisingly, the nearly thirty court ladies all held a shotgun in their hands and pointed it at this side.

The soldiers around Li Xian also raised their shotguns and aimed at them.

Yan Yanfan was slightly taken aback, these maids looked like they had undergone strict training, and they almost turned a blind eye to the more than 200 soldiers here, and there was no fear on their faces.

For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate.

At this time, Li Xian took a step forward and said to the maids: "Gu advises you to wait or get out of the way. Now that the overall situation is settled, it is better to disarm and surrender. Afterwards, when Gu ascends the throne, you can continue to serve as Gu's personal bodyguard."

The young court lady at the front said: "Go back to His Royal Highness, the duty lies in it, and I'm sorry!"

"Then..."

Before the words fell, Zhang Chengxin suddenly walked out, glanced at the dead Zhang Yizhi, and said slowly: "The sage has ordered everyone to put down their weapons. His Royal Highness and the princes can enter the hall."

Hearing these words, all the court ladies raised their hands and aimed their guns at the sky.

Li Xian nodded: "Since that's the case, you can go in with Gu."
