The bright night sky suddenly darkened, followed by a squalling sound like a gust of wind and rain, and countless sharp crossbows were shot out of the darkness around the courtyard in an instant, covering the sky and covering the sun, aiming at all the forbidden troops on the periphery of the venue.

A series of shrill screams sounded one after another. Those imperial soldiers lowered their weapons and knelt on one knee waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne. No one had expected such a sudden attack. Dozens of people lay down in a daze In a pool of blood, black crossbow arrows stuck in the vitals, killing him with one blow.

Black shadows jumped out of the darkness, with the crossbow mechanism in their hands wide open, and the arrows shone coldly under the moonlight, aiming steadily at everyone in the field.

There were not many people in this group, only a hundred or so, but the crossbow arrows in their hands sent chills back to the hearts of everyone in the field. Although Xiao Butao was old, he had the fastest reaction, rushing towards the Chongzong.

Sure enough, things have changed. To capture the thief first, capture the king. It is important to win Chongzong!But a smiling face suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way, it was Xu Zizhen.

"Grand Master Xiao, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Xiao Butar still couldn't understand that Xu Zizhen was pretending to be a ghost, and he was really Chongzong's person, and everything before was just him acting.

"Xu Zizhen!" Xiao Butao almost gritted his teeth and called out word by word.

"Father, retreat!" Xiao Yan in the field turned pale with shock. Xu Zizhen was notorious for being able to fight. How dare he let his father face it alone. The team of guards Ma Jun rushed over.

Xiao E also came back to his senses, and shouted at the two guards standing on both sides of the palace gate: "Hurry up and take Li Ganshun with me!"

With a smile on the corner of Xu Zizhen's mouth, he just looked at Xiao Butar in front of him, with an obvious playfulness in his eyes, he turned a blind eye to Xiao Yan who was rushing towards him, and suddenly pointed at the entrance and whistled loudly.

Suddenly something happened again, the imperial army at the gate of Huanli Palace suddenly changed their formation and surrounded Chongzong, but their swords pointed to the outside, and the two imperial army guarding the front of the palace also attacked at the same time , cut off the bondage on the hands of the guards in front of the palace, and turned around to protect the surroundings of the concubines, princes and princesses.

The gate of Chengtian Palace was slammed open, and two people came out from the door. The first one was an old man with half-white hair and half-white hair, and the second one was younger than him, with sharp eyes and steady steps. When the Xiao family saw these two people, they gasped immediately. He breathed a sigh of relief, because these two people turned out to be the half-dead Mou Xianting and the utterly dead Yu Qi.

"The minister in front of the palace obeys orders, guard all the crossings, and anyone who dares to trespass will be killed without mercy!" This is Mou Xianting.

"All the iron guards obey orders, quickly arrest the rebels, and those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!" This is Yu Qi.

The soldiers in front of the palace who were captured couldn't hold back any longer. They jumped up and rushed to the weapons not far away, grabbed their spears and steel knives and rushed to various exits in the palace. At the same time, the dozens of people surrounding them The iron guards, those figures that came out of the darkness also rushed over.

Xiao E and Xiao were also shocked, but they were not panicked. After all, there were not many people on the other side, and there were at least a few thousand imperial guards and horse guards on their side. It was just that they were about to give an order, but they were watching the battle all the time. The envoys watching the excitement also moved.

More than 300 envoys from the Tubo envoys, the Uyghur envoys, the Black Khan envoys, and the three kingdoms and their guards attacked at the same time, as if they had planned a long time ago, they rushed into the panicked imperial army, and they turned into one by one. The circle divided and surrounded thousands of forbidden troops, and the sharp knife in his hand was flying, drawing lines of urging brilliance under the moonlight.

The situation turned upside down in an instant, Chongzong stood in front of the palace gate with his hands behind his back, his expression was stern, and the team of guards in imperial uniform stood motionless in front of him with a resolute expression, Xiao Butar suddenly seemed to have discovered something, biting The tooth said: "Is this the Yun family?"

Xu Zizhen smiled: "Congratulations, you got the answer right!"

Xiao Butar didn't speak anymore, because he had already thought that since so many people from the Yun family could appear here, those dead men who went to encircle the so-called Yun family's old lair must have been caught in the air and fell into a trap. It's gone, when I think of this Xiao Butar, I feel a sharp pain in my heart. It is the secret power that he has painstakingly cultivated for more than ten years. All this is just for today. I hate myself for believing in Xu Zizhen's rhetoric and giving up a safe opportunity. , chose today's absurd way to usurp the throne.

The vast field is already full of blood and blood, the front of the palace is guarding the passages everywhere, no one can escape, although there are many imperial troops, but now they have become people's dumpling stuffing, and their chiefs are surrounded at this moment When they got up, the scene was extremely chaotic and noisy, and even the most basic military orders were difficult to communicate. There were only two things they could do at this time: abandon their swords and surrender, or resist to the end and be killed.

There were only a few dozen iron guards, and it was nothing to scatter into the vast crowd, but they completely ignored the imperial guards, and just went straight to the officials who were loyal to Chongzong, and those who were loyal to Chongzong had long been taken aside. Outside of the Xiao family's diehard loyalists, there are at most those who sit on the fence, so it would not be a pity to kill them.

What caught the Xiao family by surprise was the three envoys. Those guards were highly skilled and ruthless. They were not like ordinary envoys at all, but more like horse thieves in the Hexi Corridor. Two or three people working together can hold off more than a dozen imperial guards, and even kill a few people out of cold air.

The Forbidden Army has been routed, besieged and massacred. This mutiny seems to have come to an end, and the Xiao family will be defeated!

Xiao Butar never dreamed that these people would make a move at this time. Could it be that the envoys of these countries had secretly hooked up with Chongzong early?The corners of his mouth twitched a few times involuntarily, his eyes were about to burst into flames, but the current situation was completely beyond his estimation.

Xu Zizhen seemed to have guessed what he was thinking: "You guessed it right, they are not some envoys, but my soldiers."

"Your soldier?" Xiao Butar took a deep breath and looked at him.

Xu Zizhen smiled: "You should have heard of their name, Shenjiying."

There were shrill screams and hasty cries for help in the night. The iron guards were merciless and killed anyone who dared to resist on the spot. As for the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, they had no worries. There was a strong smell of blood, blood was flowing across the flat stone ground, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere.

In front of the huge Chengtian Palace, it has become a Shura hell. Some of the imperial guards have already surrendered, and the iron guards rushed into the center. Under the threat of steel knives and crossbows, they quickly controlled all the officials present, including Xiao E and Xiao E. Xiao Ye.

Xiao Butar didn't move, neither did Xiao Yan and the Ma Jun guards led by him. They confronted Chongzong, and Xu Zizhen, who was calm and composed, stood in the middle.
