Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 573 Three Layers of Insurance
"Everyone, hurry up and do it, don't you want that sky-shattering achievement?"

But Yeluyu was not afraid of the words of condemning the nine clans, raised his eyebrows, and slowly drew a semicircle in the air with the knife in his palm, twisted his waist step by step, shouted and slashed at Xiao Xiuming's head.The rebellious royal family hesitated for a while, and rushed forward one after another. The remaining palace guards and ministers loyal to the emperor rushed to stand side by side with Xiao Xiuming. Fighting together with murderous looks on their faces.

As soon as the six sharpshooters near the altar started, there was a sound of exclamation, and the dozen or so Yeluyu warriors who were drinking and laughing with their skins immediately threw away their wine bags, drew their swords and slashed and killed the warriors at the palace gate of the imperial city.Unexpectedly, those palace warriors would have thought that the guard of Yeluzhang, who had called them brothers and drank a bag of wine with them a moment ago, would kill him suddenly.

The other guards and warriors who rebelled against the royal family took out a black silk scarf and tied it on their arms, and waved their sharp knives. As long as they saw a warrior without a mark on their arm, they would strike at them. The guards and warriors who had never rebelled accounted for the majority, but they were not as good as the opponent Coming prepared, a gang of mobs could only fight on their own, no matter where their opponents were, they were immediately defeated by them.

Those warriors in Yeluyu did not chase them down, but rushed towards the gate of the palace with bloody steel knives, intending to control the palace gate. Down the stairs, followed by four guards, Yu Daoxiang and Yu Qingyan, they were not far from the palace gate of the imperial city.

It's just that when Empress Xiao saw the scene downstairs, she couldn't help but become more and more ugly, because more than a dozen warriors with black cloth wrapped around their arms brandished knives and guns and rushed towards them with roars.The four guards rushed forward fearlessly, because the difference in numbers was too great, they were knocked to the ground after two or three breaths of fighting. Empress Xiao looked at Haoyue with a look of despair and scolded: "Haoyue! If you don't make a move yet, Could it be possible to watch Ben Gong and your emperor brother die here?"

Yu Daoxiang said: "With me here, you naturally cannot die."

Before the words finished, her figure had already floated out from behind Empress Xiao, dazzled for a while, I saw her twisting her waist and swaying like a willow in the wind, her body was as soft as boneless, as if she could be twisted in any inconceivable way, from any inconceivable Attacking from an angle, like a fish swimming in a torrent, and like a ghost, the dozen or so people rushed towards them, and they were obviously much braver than ordinary Khitan warriors. In an instant, the Khitan warriors became dead and fell to the ground. .

Seeing this, more than a dozen other Yeluyi warriors not far away rushed forward to help.But still like a moth to a flame, he was easily killed by Yu Daoxiang.

Although Empress Xiao knew from Zhang Wumeng that Yu Daoxiang was a master, she did not expect it to be so powerful. Her pupils shrank and she was ecstatic, but the sacrificial building was still four or five hundred steps away from the palace gate. There must be traitors along the Baibu road, and Yeluyi will lead people to catch up soon.Although Empress Xiao believed that Princess Haoyue would not see herself and the emperor die, Princess Haoyue's indifference in the whole process just now made her feel a little uneasy, so Empress Xiao said decisively at this time: "Haoyue, as long as you protect the palace today Enter the palace with the emperor, and you can make a request for anything that the palace and the emperor can do."

Yu Daoxiang was overjoyed when she heard the words, this was the ultimate goal of her leading Lian Jicheng, Xiao Xiuming and others to bring about the civil strife in Khitan ahead of schedule and create the current situation single-handedly.On the other side of the altar, the sixteen first-class assassins are the first layer of insurance against Zhang Wumeng, and the promise of Empress Xiao on this side is the second layer of insurance.

At this time, those who were loyal to the Emperor and Empress Xiao in the sacrificial building and on the street were attacked by surprise, and most of them were wounded even if they survived. After being killed, Yelujuan shouted, holding a bloody steel knife, "The emperor is dead, let's fight quickly!"

There was an immediate commotion from all around. Ye Luxian's complexion was very bad at this time, but he hadn't fainted yet. He knew that Yeluxian's actions were intended to disturb the morale of the army, and he wanted to stand up to stabilize the morale of the army. Wearing dark armor, the arrowhead is locked by chain mail, and it has never penetrated too deep into the flesh, but the arrowhead is poisoned, and he has never washed the poison with blood like Queen Xiao did before. .

People nearby could see him, so they naturally knew that the emperor was still alive, but the warriors who were fighting in the distance didn't know what to do, and their hearts suddenly panicked.Drenched in blood, Xiao Xiuming threw himself down from the steps with a big knife in his hand, and shouted: "The emperor is still here, don't listen to the rebels bewitching the army's morale. The rebellious ministers rebelled, and the palace guards will arrive in no time. Escort."

While both sides were engaged in a heart-to-heart battle, the subordinates were also unrelenting. Princess Haoyue downstairs killed more than 20 more powerful warriors arranged by her, which made Yeluyu feel anxious. Even the calculation of the number of guards on the upper and lower walls of the Jilou City and their positions was very accurate, except that the variable Princess Haoyue was not counted, so that the foolproof plan unexpectedly changed.

If he can't take the emperor's head quickly, he won't be able to disintegrate the palace guards' desire to fight to the death. In that case, the only option is to implement the second plan, get out of the battlefield as soon as possible, escape from Shangjing, and mobilize the secrets led by Yeluzhen to go to the periphery of Shangjing to gain momentum The waiting family tent army surrounded Shangjing and waited for Yeluxian's life or death before making a decision.

So Yeluyu was very worried, and took the lead in fighting bravely. At this time, Empress Xiao and the emperor got the help of Yu Daoxiang, and killed dozens of Yeluyu's warriors along the way, and fought and retreated towards the palace gate. follow.

At this time, Yelu'an finally knocked Xiao Xiuming down from the sacrificial building, and then led his men to chase him up.

Seeing the palace gate, Empress Xiao heard Yeluxian catching up behind her, and the eunuch grabbed Yeluxian by the waist, dragged him into the palace gate, and shouted: "Block the palace gate! Lock the palace gate!"

Yelu's eyes were about to burst, he shouted, "Don't let them escape in!" As he spoke, he rushed forward regardless of his own safety.

Inside the palace gate, together with Yu Qingyan, and a few palace eunuchs who were squatting in a panic not far away, after hearing Empress Xiao's order, they rushed over boldly and worked together to slowly close the two heavy palace gates , Empress Xiao and Yu Qingyan yelled from inside the door: "Haoyue, come in quickly."

At this time, Yu Daoxiang has been entangled by the crazy Yeluzhen and more than a dozen warriors. Yeluzhen is a real master. He even knocked down Xiao Xiuming, who is also in the same first-class state, from the sacrificial building just now. Next, there were more than a dozen helpers. Even if Yu Daoxiang possessed super-level strength, he was firmly entangled for a while.However, it is not at all possible for Yeluyi to lead a dozen people to repel Yu Daoxiang or kill him.Yu Qingyan was clearly aware of this, so when Empress Xiao gave the order to 'seal the door', she only hesitated for a moment, but she did not stop it.She still has her mission, and her mission will be the third insurance in the plan.

In fact, the third line of insurance came right after.

With a sound of "bang", the palace gates were tightly closed, and the last scene that caught the eyes of Empress Xiao and Yu Qingyan was Yu Daoxiang floating like a ghost between Yeluyi and other ten people, fighting with each other.From time to time, a warrior of Yeluyi would be slapped by Yu Daoxiang and flew out of the battle circle, smashed several feet away, spit out a mouthful of blood, and died with a kick of his legs.

As soon as the two heavy door gates were pushed up, Empress Xiao immediately ordered: "Put down the emperor!"

She hastily tore off the emperor's coat, only to see the cluster of arrows locked tightly by the chain mail. He took off the dark armor along with the arrow, only to see a high lump on Yeluxian's left chest, the color was black and blue, there was an arrow hole in the middle, but no blood flowed out.

"Miss Qingyan, please help the emperor to detoxify quickly." Empress Xiao gasped, not knowing if the poisonous gas had already attacked her heart, seeing the emperor's anger, she knew that she couldn't wait any longer, and decisively put the emperor where she was, please Yu Qingyan detoxification.

Yu Qingyan nodded, leaned down, and after a brief inspection, she felt relieved, and at the same time couldn't help muttering to herself: "Although the poison used by these Khitan rebels is fierce, the ingredients are too simple. Father Ghost Physician provided The antidote pills can even remove the poison."

While thinking in this way, he has already taken out two porcelain bottles from his bosom, and poured out two pills, one of which is a detoxification pill, and the other is naturally the third layer of insurance in the plan.

The emperor was already on his deathbed, Empress Xiao naturally would not doubt Yu Qingyan, a servant had long since found Qing Shui, and gave two pills to the Khitan Emperor.

The so-called medicine can cure the disease, the Khitan Emperor Yeluxian took the pill, and the effect was immediate.Although his face is still pale, his breathing has gradually returned to normal, and the purple color of the wound and lips has gradually faded until it disappeared.

As soon as the palace gate was closed, Yeluyu knew that the situation was over, he made a decisive decision, and hurriedly shouted: "Retire, hurry out of the city with this king!"

The rebels were ordered to rush towards the outside of the capital like a tide, but Yu Daoxiang didn't chase after him, but plundered towards another battlefield on the other side of the altar with a flickering figure.If it is possible to snatch the Yangri jade pendant from Zhang Wumeng without alarming Empress Xiao and the emperor, that would be great.

At this time, there was chaos outside the sacrificial building. The royal family and nobles who were going to meet the emperor and queen were running around. He galloped back and forth in front of the door, but when he saw a soldier blocking the way, he stabbed him head-on.

Yeluyu and the others rushed to the front of the building, and with a whistle, they got on their horses one after another, leaving behind the brave men after the bitter battle without even looking at them, they roared away along the imperial street, the sound of their hooves was like thunder, shaking the world
