Chapter 304
Since ancient times, there seems to be an endless game between good and evil.

What happened outside Qingzhou City has not yet settled, but the capital of the Great Song Dynasty has already been raging like a storm.

Kyoto.

City gate.

A group of cavalry, with hundreds of horses, swarmed and rushed directly to the gate of the city, startling the surrounding pedestrians and merchants to give way, and the sky was full of dust.

"Stop! Who!"

Several soldiers guarding the gate clenched their weapons tightly, blocked in the middle of the city gate, and pointed at the person coming and questioned loudly.

With the sound of horse neighing, the war horse raised its front hooves and stopped steadily.

"Presumptuous! The second prince is here, get out of the way quickly, or your heads will be chopped off!"

A middle-aged man on a horse glared at the soldiers blocking the way, and shouted sharply, with a murderous look on his face.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, several soldiers blocking the way froze for a moment, looked at each other, and looked at one of the young men on horseback. Then their expressions changed drastically, and they all knelt down on the ground respectfully. salute.

"See the second prince! I didn't know it was the second prince who arrived and disturbed His Highness. Please make amends, Your Highness."

The soldier kneeling on the ground said in fear, lowering his head, trembling slightly with fright.

"Exemption."

The young man sitting on horseback said calmly with a blank face.

It was Zhao Yi, the second prince who was relegated to Yanmen Pass by Song Zhezong.

Several soldiers stood up tremblingly, their heads still lowered, but they did not give way to the city gate.

"What? You know it's the Second Highness, why don't you give way?!"

Seeing that several soldiers were still blocking the way, the middle-aged man spoke again, his face was gloomy, and his hand was already on a big knife on the horse's back.

"Returning to Your Highness, there are laws in the capital. No one can bring troops into the capital city without being summoned by His Majesty. We have not received the order from the palace, so we still ask His Highness the Second Highness to leave the soldiers and horses outside the city."

One of the soldiers who seemed to be the leader bowed his hands respectfully, lowered his head and said.

"Step aside!"

But Zhao Yi was obviously impatient. He looked at the soldiers blocking the way coldly, and said through gritted teeth.

As soon as the words fell, the hundreds of cavalry accompanying them pulled out their weapons in unison, as if they would go straight in if they didn't give way.

"Your Highness, you should know this rule. Please don't make things difficult for me. If you let these many people in, then we will die without a place to bury you. We really cannot afford such a serious crime."

The soldier who spoke just now spoke again, looking embarrassed.

"I rushed back after receiving the news that my father was dying, so no one in the palace knew the news of my return to the palace, let alone passed on my orders to you. Don't worry, I will report it to you after I return to the palace. Ming, no one will trouble you!"

Zhao Yi looked at the soldier and said in a deep voice.

Although Zhao Yi said so, the soldiers blocking the way still stood in place, and they still had no intention of giving way.

"Your Highness, you can go in if you want, but you can't bring more than ten people in at most. Please don't embarrass your subordinates."

The man answered again, bending even lower.

After hearing this man's words, Zhao Yi, who was originally expressionless, became even more ugly.

"Presumptuous! Your Majesty is poisonous, and the Second Highness suspects that someone in the palace intends to rebel, so he brought troops to serve the king. If the opportunity is delayed, can you afford it?! Could it be that you will be satisfied if you ransack your entire family? ?!"

The middle-aged man who followed Zhao Yi spoke again, and at the same time raised the big knife in his hand.

After hearing the middle-aged man's words, several soldiers turned pale and hesitated to speak, not knowing what to do.

"Everyone listens to the order and quickly follow me into the palace to serve the king. If there is any obstruction, they will be regarded as traitors and will be killed without mercy!"

Zhao Yi said something coldly, slammed the reins vigorously, and rushed directly to the soldiers blocking the way, no longer intending to argue with those soldiers.

At the same time, hundreds of cavalry followed closely behind and rushed into the city behind Zhao Yi.

Several soldiers who were originally blocking the gate of the city did not dare to stop them anymore, they hurriedly stepped aside, watching hundreds of cavalry roaring past and rushing into the city of Kyoto.

Zhao Yi didn't stay for a moment, and directly led people into the palace. As long as he encountered obstacles, he would only reply with one sentence.

Lead troops to serve the king, and those who wantonly obstruct are all traitors, and they will be killed without mercy!

Faced with such a reason, no one dared to stop it, because the traitorous party would be implicated by the whole family, no one dared to have the courage, even Guan Hongfeng, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, did not have the courage, because he also suspected that the emperor The highly poisonous matter is not an assassination, it is indeed possible that someone deliberately conspired to do it.

Three days ago, Song Zhezong was suddenly critically ill. The imperial physician found out that Song Zhezong had been poisoned, there was no medicine to cure him, and he was dying.But when the people in front of the palace found the imperial dining room, they found that the entire imperial dining room had died tragically from top to bottom, and there was no one alive, so there was no way to investigate.

Since Song Zhezong was critically ill, as the crown prince, Zhao Jingxuan automatically became the supervisor of the country, taking charge of all affairs big and small.

But Zhao Yi's sudden return to Beijing caught everyone by surprise, including Zhao Jingxuan.Because from the moment he became the supervisor of the country, there was already a news circulating in the palace. Some people claimed that the emperor's poisoning had a great connection with the crown prince.

And Zhao Yi kept saying that he was the King of Qin with soldiers, and someone in the palace intended to rebel, so the person who rebelled was self-evident.

The originally dull city of Kyoto became full of wind and rain overnight, with undercurrents surging.

Twenty miles outside Qingzhou city.

Unnamed Villa.

Xiao Jun looked coldly at Xu Tian who showed his weapon, without any expression on his face.He did not expect that there was a weapon hidden in Xu Tian's sleeve, but it was just that he did not expect it, and it did not increase his fear.

"Want to kill me? You don't have that ability yet!"

With a sneer of disdain at the corner of Xu Tian's mouth, he looked at Xiao Jun and said in a deep voice, completely gone from the panic just now.

At the same time, more than a dozen men in black separated from the encirclement surrounding the Tianxing Guards and others, and rushed towards Xiao Jun.

"If there were only you and me today, you would have already been the soul of my sword!"

Xiao Jun said something coldly, without further hesitation, he strode straight towards Xu Tian. He had already heard footsteps getting closer and closer behind him, and knew that he didn't have much time to delay.

As soon as the words fell, I saw that Xiao Jun had rushed out again, this time seemed to be faster than lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Xu Tian, ​​and the blood knife in his hand swung out again, still cutting towards Xu Tian's body throat!

Perhaps Xu Tian had seen the power of the blood knife, so he didn't dare to be negligent. He put away the sneer on his face, concentrated his attention on guard, grabbed the iron chain that was pulling the short knife, and swung it hard, only to see the short knife go straight to Xiao Jun's face again. out the door!

This time Xiao Jun didn't hide, he advanced instead of retreating, his speed actually increased again, and at the same time his body tilted to the side rapidly, he escaped the attack of the short knife in a flash, and approached Xu Tian in an instant!The blood knife is already within easy reach of Xu Tian's throat!
But at this moment, Xiao Jun suddenly felt a strong wind blowing from the back of his head, accompanied by a chill, he couldn't help frowning, he could only withdraw his knife again, and swung it behind him vigorously!

The dagger linked by the iron chain turned around and stabbed directly at the back of Xiao Jun's head!If he was hit, Xiao Jun would definitely have his brain burst instantly and die on the spot!
