meet again

In the dense forest inside and outside the imperial mausoleum, many people poured out one after another.These men, all dressed in black, had a strong figure and a sturdy face, with murderous looks in their eyes.

The Imperial Forest Army and the Son of Heaven's personal guards are all elite soldiers, but the three days and three nights of marching, there is almost no time to rest.Just as he was sitting down to drink some cold water, he was suddenly attacked and couldn't cope for a while.A wave of meteor-like sharp arrows fell over a hundred of them, and dozens of them were killed by men in black rushing over like a tidal wave.

The screams continued.Almost immediately fell into a hard fight.

The courtiers who were resting in the imperial mausoleum felt chilled when they heard the shouts of killing.

Who has the ability to secretly set up an ambush outside the imperial tomb?

Who has the guts to kill the prince?
Is it King Qin?Is it King Zhao?Or Hanwang?

Or did the two or three of them collude in private to commit such rebellious acts together? !
Xu Ge, the senior chief assistant, trembled from anger or fright.

The door was pushed open with a bang, and the gray-haired and frightened Mr. Zheng Ge rushed in with agility that did not match his age, and grabbed Mr. Xu Ge: "Mr. Xu Ge, someone has rushed into the imperial tomb! What should we do now?" ?”

Elder Xu Ge gritted his teeth and scolded angrily: "These disobedient and unfilial bastards! The emperor's body is still cold, and the funeral is not over yet, yet he did such insane things! If God has eyes, he should send a thunderbolt to kill these evil obstacles! "

Zheng Ge sighed with a slumped face: "What's the use of saying this now. Let's think about how to solve the predicament!"

An arrow with flames flew from nowhere and stuck on the window lattice.The guards standing outside hurriedly put out the fire.Soon, more rockets rushed in menacingly.

Elder Xu Ge's complexion turned pale, and he managed to maintain his composure: "As subjects, we should protect His Highness the Crown Prince."

That's right!At this time, the prince is the safest.

After all, the prince has five hundred brave personal guards around him!
Old Zheng Ge was cheerful and nodded again and again: "Old Xu Ge is right. You and I will go to find His Highness the Crown Prince immediately. If the rebels charge over, we have to stand in front of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xu Ge, Zheng Ge, and Zheng Ge are more than 100 years old together, and they walk in an even and steady manner on weekdays.At this time, he was running for his life in fear... No, he was in a hurry to "protect His Highness the Crown Prince", walking much more quickly than usual.

As soon as he left the wing room, the door on the other side was also opened.

A dignified civil servant in his fifties rushed out with a face full of panic: "Mr. Xu Ge, Mr. Zheng Ge! What's going on outside?"

This civil servant is none other than Feng Ping, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Feng Shilang Haolai is also a senior official of the third rank.Moreover, the emperor's funeral was originally handled by the Ministry of Rites.Therefore, Feng Shilang was also included in the funeral.

Before having a cup of tea, Feng Shilang still had the idea of ​​looking for an opportunity to meet Shen You, and by the way, have a sense of presence in front of His Highness the Crown Prince.Then, he was scared out of his wits by the shouts of killing.

Old Xu Ge and Zheng Ge were not in the mood to say more, while walking quickly, he threw down a sentence: "Someone is making trouble secretly and wants to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince. Let's protect His Highness."

Feng Shilang's eyes lit up, and he followed without thinking: "The two senior elders are right, I will protect His Highness too!"

Soon, two more civil servants caught up.The five aged civil servants burst out with courage and determination that they did not usually have, and they walked fast.

Unfortunately, he was stopped a hundred meters away from His Royal Highness's wing.

Shen Jia, the guard of the Eastern Palace who was full of murderous looks, said coldly: "Shen Tongzhi has an order that no one is allowed to approach His Highness the Crown Prince. My lords, please go back and wait in peace."

The Shen Tongzhi that Shen Jia spoke of was exactly Shen You.

At this dangerous time, people's hearts are unpredictable, who knows if any of these civil servants should be in the eyeliner of those who make trouble.All must be stopped, not near the prince.

All the guards of the East Palace had cold eyes and sharp swords in their hands.

Old Xu Ge's throat tightened, and he had to say a few words: "This chief assistant is worried about His Highness's safety, so he came here to protect His Highness. Get out of the way!"

Suddenly encountering such a shocking change, all the guards of the Eastern Palace were like bows drawn on strings.Shen Jia lost her usual laughter, and her face was extremely cold and serious: "With us here, His Highness will be safe and sound. Don't worry, my lords. Shen Tongzhi released an emergency firework signal a moment ago. As long as it lasts for half a day, reinforcements will come gone."

That will take a long time!

Who knows how many people are ambushing in the dense forest!

Who knows if the three thousand imperial guards and one thousand emperor's personal guards can withstand this menacing group of dead soldiers!
In case the dead soldiers rushed in, they didn't have five hundred brave personal guards to protect them.With a single swing of the knife, they were about to commit themselves to the country and follow Emperor Long'an to the underground.

They are all the pillars of the country, and they still want to keep their useful bodies and be loyal to Daqi!
Feng Shilang rushed over quickly, grabbed Shen Jia's sleeve, and said in a hurry: "Sanlang, it's too dangerous outside. We can only feel at ease by the side of His Royal Highness. Go and tell Shiro to let me in." .”

Shen Jia is the grandson of Feng Shilang's direct relative!
Shen You is the grandson-in-law of Feng Shilang's direct relative!
All the civil servants cheered up and looked over together.Seeing Shen Jia frowning, she glanced at Feng Shilang: "I'm on duty by order, and I can't leave without authorization. Grandfather, don't make things difficult for me!"

When Feng Shilang heard this tone, he was secretly happy, and when he blinked, his eyes turned red, and two old tears rolled out of his eyes: "Sanlang, you can't go, find someone to send a message! There are big people here. Qi Zhongchen, with the benevolence of His Highness the Crown Prince, how could he have the heart to leave us alone."

When Feng Shilang cried, Shen Jia's heart softened, he hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and sent a personal guard to deliver the message.

Feng Shilang still wanted to grab Shen Jia's sleeve, but Shen Jia had pulled back the sleeve with all his strength, and said in a cold voice, "Feng Shilang, please be safe, please wait patiently, my lords."

While speaking, two more courtiers ran over tremblingly.

Thinking about it, all the civil servants thought of going together.At the moment when the swords and soldiers met, it was safer to be with the prince.There were also a few generals, each with their own weapons, coming over with vicious expressions on their faces.Among them, there is Yuan Hai, the prince's uncle and in-law.

Yuan Hai's face was solemn, and his heart was angry and anxious.

The nearest military camp to the imperial mausoleum is more than 100 miles away.It would take at least three or four hours to mobilize troops to rush to the rescue after receiving the emergency firework signal.

Can four thousand elite soldiers and these five hundred personal guards hold out for half a day?

If...the crown prince made a mistake, even if reinforcements came, it would be useless.

A personal guard of the Eastern Palace came quickly, glanced at the faces of the ministers with different expressions, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness has an order, please go in."
