After the cannon fodder mother wears the book, the male protagonist's son is more expensive tha

The heavy-duty crossbow was brought by Xiang Mai. It was dismantled into parts and hidden in a grain truck and transported to Shendu City. They were assembled in the Henan Palace, a total of four.

It is called a ballista because it has a shape similar to a ballista.In terms of performance, it is more like a large hidden weapon.One hundred arrows can be fired in a row at a time, and the operator can stand behind it and use the handle to control the direction of the launch.Each is equipped with a lifting platform, which can be raised to a height of five feet.

Taking advantage of the heavy rain, Xiang Mai and Nuji stood on the lifting platform together, rising to a height of about half a foot above the wall of the palace.She was completely hidden behind the machine body, and people on the other side of the wall could only see the ballista, which was one-third the size of a carriage, but couldn't see her.

The sound of continuous arrows piercing the rain curtain made Xiang Mai feel very pleasant. She manipulated the handle and fired at the enemies outside the wall.

The death and injury of one's own people will make people angry, and the death of the enemy will cause care and excitement.

The hundred arrows were fired quickly, and the lifting platform lowered. There were already soldiers waiting below holding special iron arrows.

Arrow loaded, raised, for a second round of strafing.

The rebel army was thrown into disarray by the sharp weapon that suddenly appeared, and the offensive slowed down rapidly.

"Tap Tat Tat." In the torrential rain, there were a large number of horseshoes approaching.

Is it the enemy or reinforcements?
Under uncertain circumstances, everyone's heart is uneasy.

After firing the second batch of arrows, Xiang Mai bravely leaned over to look out.At this time, the rain gradually slowed down, and the soldiers were able to draw their bows.As soon as she showed her head, a feathered arrow flew over, and the feather on the tail of the arrow passed through her forehead.

Xiang Mai hurriedly hid behind the machine, and slipped one foot out of the elevator due to panic.She clung to the railing so she didn't fall.

Xiang Mai was panting heavily, his face was pale by the rain, but he grinned slowly and let out a low-to-high laugh: "Hahahaha...hahahahahaha... reinforcements, reinforcements!"

Reinforcement?

Everyone couldn't believe their ears.

"Reinforcement!" Xiang Mai forgot to lower the lifting platform, sitting on the platform and shouted, "Reinforcement!"

"Reinforcement! It's reinforcement! Reinforcement is here!"

"It's the imperial army!" Gu Lin also controlled a crossbow, and he clearly saw that the team rushing on horseback was holding the flag of the imperial army.

Among a group of people in armor, there was one who stood out in a long-sleeved gown.He felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

"Move the ladder!" He raised his knife and shouted, "Kill me!"

"kill!"

The morale of the government soldiers was greatly boosted, and they quickly moved the ladder, climbed up the wall and counterattacked.

……

The shouts from all around reached the main courtyard, and when they heard the reinforcements coming, everyone was finally able to let out the breath stuck in their throats.

Finally... finally here.

"The forbidden army has been dispatched?" Mrs. Gu looked at Mrs. Li.

The first two large-scale dispatches of the forbidden army were to capture the first prince and king Xianyu respectively.Only His Majesty is the one who can order the forbidden army.

"There is no fall in the palace?"

Since they dared to send troops to besiege the Henan Palace, they were naturally confident.According to the conjectures of Mrs. Li and Mrs. Gu, at least they have taken control of the palace.

But now that the forbidden army has come, it shows that His Majesty is not under the control of others.Is it already out of trouble, or has it not been controlled from beginning to end?

If it's the latter, then the person who planned this time is too stupid.

"...The lord and the concubine don't seem to be in the mansion." Mrs. Li noticed this.

"You mean..."

"The truth will come to light after the fact." Mrs. Li said, "It seems that the Henan Palace won this round."

"Great!" Li Ruoyu beamed with joy.

Mrs. Li looked at the smiling granddaughter, and naturally knew why she was so happy.

It's a pity that falling flowers are intentional, but flowing water is ruthless.Ugh.

……

Royal Palace.

Fourteen and Zuo Qiuyue avoided layers of defenses and came all the way to the Hall of Eternal Life.

There was a sound of fighting at the door, and before the eldest grandson Jingxu and eldest grandson Zhao'er in the hall had time to react, the gate of the Hall of Eternal Life was smashed open with a bang.

A white shadow floated into the hall, knocked down the dagger brought out by the eldest grandson Zhao'er, and protected the empress behind her.

At the same time, Fourteen was already fighting with the eldest grandson Jingxu.

"How could it be you?" Changsun Zhao'er looked at Zuo Qiuyue in disbelief.According to the plan, they shouldn't be here.

"Wow."

The dagger pierced Changsun Jingxu's shoulder, causing him to groan.Fourteen took advantage of the victory to pursue, stabbed him several times, and captured him.

During the fight, she couldn't help wondering, Changsun Jingxu's martial arts seemed to be quite different from what she remembered.But it's too late to think about this now, she didn't think much after she was puzzled.

The imperial army rushed into the hall and took people under arrest.

"Go to the imperial doctor!" Zuo Qiuyue shouted when he discovered the blood on the lapel of the Empress.

"Yes, yes!" Fuman quickly ran out with the people.

"Ah Yue..." The female emperor's voice was weak, she looked at Zuoqiu Yue and Shisi with satisfaction in her eyes, "You are here..."

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician will be here soon." Fourteen carried the empress onto the bed, "Wait a little longer, and he will be here soon."

The empress smiled, "Don't be afraid, Ah Yue, I won't die."

"...Grandmother." Zuoqiu Yue knelt by the couch, grabbed the hand of the Empress, "The imperial doctor will be here soon."

……

Meifu.

Wang Kui and Zheng Biao rushed into the mansion and saw Mei Xingzhi.

"What's going on? What's the situation in the palace?" Mei Xingzhi was waiting for Xiao Yan to come to welcome the bride, but Xiao Yan didn't wait, but saw a large number of soldiers rushing into Yongxing Square.

"My lord, it's a long story." Wang Kui reported, "At this time, the dilemma of the palace has been resolved, and the princess ordered me to escort you and the eldest concubine to the palace to prevent any changes."

"What about the others?" Mei Xingzhi asked.To marry Mei Zhixue today, all the people who have a little contact with the Mei family on weekdays have come, but now they are all trapped in the mansion.

"Don't panic, my lord. The rebel army will only hold you and the concubine hostage to the prince and concubine. After you and the concubine leave, no one else will be in danger." Wang Kui said, "The palace has sent troops to reinforce them, and they will arrive later, please." My lord, quickly follow us and leave."

"You take Zhixue to the palace, and I will stay here." Mei Xingzhi thought for a moment, then said, "Protect her well."

"Brother!" Mei Zhixue naturally disagreed, "If you don't leave, I won't either!"

"I am the head of the family. If I run away, I will be ashamed of my grandfather." Mei Xingzhi pushed Mei Zhixue to Songguo's side, "Zhixue, be obedient. You are the concubine of the Henan Prince's Mansion now, and you should also shoulder your responsibilities .”

"But……"

"Come on!"

"I would like to ask the concubine to change into regular clothes." Zheng Biao said, "The happy clothes are too eye-catching."

"Sister Zhixue." Song Guo held Mei Zhixue's hand, "I'll accompany you to change clothes."
