Chen Palace

Chapter 123
The emperor remained calm, but his heart was dark. He glanced at the queen mother and saw her frowning and sneering, as if she didn't care about the danger in front of her at all, but King Jing ignored the sharp knife on his neck, and argued with King Ping loudly—

"The queen mother is weak and cannot withstand this glaring sword, hurry up and let her go!"

There was a little sweat on the queen mother's forehead, and the hazy colored sleeves were tightly held by her, wrinkled several times, the hall was sweltering and hot, and there was a sharp knife at her side, her face was almost pale, but she still sneered at herself.

Seeing that it was the right time, the emperor turned around and walked near the gate of the palace. He caught a glimpse of the guards in the court, who were waiting eagerly. He was about to dodge to call, but the next moment, a gust of wind, sweeping the cold edge, came from his hair. After rubbing it, there was only a sound, the Kowloon crown fell to the ground, he felt a pain on the top of his head, when he stretched out his hand to touch it, it was bright red blood.

The short blade was firmly nailed into the sandalwood palace door behind him, still trembling slightly, emitting a strange cold light in the half-light——

Just a hair's breadth away, it hit him on the head!

"It's really a close call, Brother Huang..."

King Ping flicked his robe sleeves lightly, smiled unapologetically, took two steps forward, pulled the short blade from the door, and gently closed the door.

The emperor's eyes darkened slightly with this closing, and he stood in the center of the hall, still calm and composed.

"Brother Huang is in a hurry to contact the guards, but what did you remember?!"

Prince Ping smiled calmly, but his eyes were treacherous and gloomy.

"You are delaying my time, preparing to cause chaos in Beijing."

The emperor's voice was calm and indifferent, as if it came from nine days away.

This time, he used "望" instead of "I".

King Ping motioned to the dead man, the man's hand was tightened, bright red thick blood slowly slid down from the Queen Mother's neck.

The strands of bright red flowing on the snow-white skin made it even more shocking. The Empress Dowager frowned slightly and said nothing.

"Your Majesty, if you do anything suspicious again, next year today will be the death day of the Empress Dowager."

King Ping smiled and continued: "The emperor's eyes are like a torch, he has already seen through my arrangement... It's a pity that all the officials in the court are paying attention to this place, and no one can destroy my chess game."

He smiled confidently, and when he raised his head, he saw that the emperor was also chuckling silently. King Ping suppressed his smile, feeling uneasy suddenly in his heart.

At the outermost end of the palace city, the guards in armor stood on the towering tower, looking down at the scattered knives, guns, swords and halberds on the ground, as well as the dazzling bloodstains.

When they talked about the mob just now, they all found it funny and angry——

"Tsk tsk, it's just this group of pustules who are here to plot rebellion. Could it be that the island sword in our brother's hand is a vegetarian?"

"It's said that it's His Royal Highness King An's private reserve... don't talk about breaking into the palace, just in front of this Shenwu Gate, it was captured in two or three strokes - King An is playing right in the court, including him, None of them got away."

The guards are as imposing as a rainbow. Among them, Guo Sheng, who is nicknamed "Peanut", is a small leader here, and he is deeply loved by the emperor. He used to walk in front of the imperial court, but this time he was sent to take care of the aftermath. He is not as good as others Le Tian, ​​his father is also a veteran of Conglong, and he is well aware of the grievances and grievances among the descendants of the imperial family.

He murmured in his heart: Even if King An is so pusty, King Ping and him have always been inseparable. This person is insidious and cunning, especially above his brother, so there is no way to escape?

He remembered just now, when Commander Qu sent people here, the solemn and deeply frowning frown, and secretly speculated——

Did something happen in the palace?

Thinking of this, his heart thumped wildly. Looking around, he saw that the rest of the people were relaxed, so he said in a low voice, "Your bones are not so light... Hurry up and guard the tower to be serious, you, and you, "

He pointed out a few experienced and stable people, and assigned them: "You guys, lead people to patrol around, and make sure nothing goes wrong!"

The guards stopped laughing and were about to get up and do it separately, but one of them exclaimed: "Look! What is that?!"

His voice was horrified, and he pointed his finger at the sky. Guo Sheng looked up and saw a puff of thick smoke rising in the clear blue sky.

Looking far away, he saw thick smoke rising from the north of the city, mixed with faint flames, and he didn't know what happened.

Someone exclaimed: "There are also..."

Several times in a row, Guo Sheng was horrified to find that there were several places in the city with thick smoke billowing and flames shooting up to the sky. He was surprised and anxious, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that there are rebels making trouble?"

He was about to give orders to his subordinates, but he heard a whistling sound in the air. Suddenly, he reacted and yelled: "Get down quickly!!"

He pressed the nearest brother with one hand, and lowered his body as low as possible, allowing the rain of arrows to graze his back, causing burning pain.

After the rain of arrows stopped, everyone was about to speak, but Guo Sheng signaled them to be silent. He lay on the city wall and listened carefully to the movement. After a long while, he got up, panting slightly, and said, "There are a large group of people heading towards the Shenwu Gate. Come on—brethren, we're in big trouble!"

His voice is solemn, no longer the usual swaying and laughing, as if he was muttering to himself, but he also seemed to be warning everyone: "The steps are neat and orderly, mixed but not chaotic, and there is no human voice at all... This is probably a battle-tested army."

The faces of all the people turned pale immediately. Most of them served the emperor during the previous imperial conquest, and they had seen some vicious battles. Those fierce soldiers trained in fierce battles were enough to give these guards nightmares in the middle of the night.

Even so, no one backed down. They were all lieutenant generals, and it was common for them to wander around and fight on weekdays. Their natural instincts did not allow them to shrink back.

Guo Sheng looked back at the palace, but he saw thousands of palaces and palaces, but there was still silence.

Maybe something happened in the palace...

Thinking of this, he ordered in a deep voice: "Blow the whistle and light the smoke to inform Commander Qu... Brothers, the time has come for the imperial court to use us! Keep your positions safe... Don't let people underestimate you." I'll wait for the gatekeeper!"

Everyone was silent, with murderous intent brewing between their brows, everyone knew that the situation was serious today, and they might almost die. "

The sound of footsteps approaching from far away was already clearly audible. Looking at the other end, there was a faint flash of a sword.Everyone clenched their weapons tightly, feeling almost expectant.
