I am a cat in the palace

The development of the situation seems to have far exceeded their expectations.

Even the second prince, who was chasing after Shang Xin, couldn't help frowning when he saw the large group of black-armored soldiers not far away.

"Second Highness, that, that seems to be the Imperial Army, what do they want to do?" Meng Dang, who was following behind the Second Prince, was the first to lose his composure. He looked at the murderous Imperial Army not far away, and felt his legs go limp for a while. No matter how stupid he was, he could tell that those black-armored soldiers were obviously not here to protect them.

"They want to rebel." The second prince looked coldly at the black-armored soldier standing quietly less than ten feet away from them, with an extremely astonishing momentum.

"Rebellion...rebellion?" Meng Dang's voice trembled.

Just as they were looking over there, they seemed to have spotted them too. It was because the crowd dispersed too quickly, leaving only their targets too eye-catching.

"There is no place to find if you break through the iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get here." On the flank of the black-armored soldiers, there is a black-faced general riding a tall horse and holding a long spear.

He is a loyal supporter of Duan Zhenghong, the commander of the imperial guards. His name is Shi Dali. He is a commoner's son. He was born in Luohewei.But he has never been friendly with the noble children of the Tiger Cavalry Army, and once fought with Lin Guanwei's father over trivial matters, but Lin Baocheng broke an arm.Later, he was transferred by Duan Zhenghong to the left guard, but he was like a fish in water when he got there, and he was promoted year by year. At the beginning of the year, he was promoted to be the deputy commander of the left guard.

Sitting on a black war horse, he looked coldly at the group of people not far away, and suddenly turned his head and waved to the side.

A middle-aged eunuch immediately nodded and bowed, and squeezed out of the soldiers with a mouth full of responsibility. He also held a yellow scroll in his hand.

The content on the yellow scroll was similar to the imperial decree sent to Duke Wei’s mansion, except that there was an additional item about Shang Xin, saying that he had an ominous background and would be a hindrance to the country, and that he would take away his prince and send him to Changyunguan became a monk and prayed for the royal family of Daxia.

"Both Your Highnesses have heard it. This is the order of the Holy Majesty. Please follow me immediately." After the eunuch finished announcing the so-called imperial edict, Shi Dali rode forward slowly with a smile on his face. Come.

Shi Dali said that he was going to lead people this way.

Neither Shang Xin nor the second prince moved. At this moment, the assassins who were caught between the two groups of people seemed very embarrassed.

After the female assassin was kicked away, several assassins froze in place. They wanted to continue the assassination, but suddenly found that the person they needed to assassinate seemed to be in greater trouble than they were, and their master was in trouble. It's not small, so now they really don't know whether they should continue to assassinate King Zhen or protect their master and escape, so they can only stand still and watch the development of the situation before they get new orders.

Wei Yin clutched the wound on his waist tightly, turned his head and said softly to Shang Xin: "I have asked Ah Chen and Ah Wei to notify the British government and the Tiger Cavalry Army, and I will bring the hidden guards to stop them later. You definitely can’t go back now, you hurry to the east city gate as soon as possible, if you can make it in time, leave the city immediately, if you don’t have time, go to the secret place of the secret guard camp to hide first.”

While speaking, Wei Yin took a look at the secret guards who were hiding in the dark all around and had been following Shang Xin not far away.

"Mr. Wei, you're injured. I'd better stay here. It's more convenient for me to command the dark guard." Wan Ji suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of Wei Yin.

"It's not a good thing. There are so many people in front of you. One person and one slap can slap you to death. Stop arguing. Let's go together and follow me!" Get down Wei Yin's back, pull Shang Xin up and go into the alley next to him.

He moved so fast that Wei Yin and Wan Ji were taken aback for a moment, then followed him with a huff.

Shi Dali originally looked at King Zhen and the second prince standing on the opposite side, with a look of shock, watching them put on the stage and read the imperial decree, thinking that they had been frightened by their big battle, knowing that they There was no escape, so I accepted my fate.

But, who knew, as soon as he raised his foot, the King Zhen didn't even say hello, and turned around and ran away with the people, and he ran so swiftly that he didn't even leave anyone behind.

What was even more irritating was the second prince, and King Zhen ran away as well. The higher-ups told him that the most important thing was to catch the second prince. He was the eldest son, and he must be killed first while taking advantage of the chaos, and he must not be left behind.

But, who knew that the second prince, who was standing there quietly just now, saw that King Zhen had run away, and actually started running right behind King Zhen's ass.And he also yelled at the assassins who assassinated King Zhen just now: "You guys stay here, kill that black-haired pig first, then come and find me."

Who are you talking about Iberico pigs?ah?

Doesn't he just look dark and have a pretty belly?

How dare he call him a black-haired pig, and he treats him as the second prince who is still golden and noble, waiting to inherit the throne?He was handsome, but he couldn't hold on to his fate, he was just one step away from being able to sit on that chair, and now he has become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the nobles in the palace, and he ordered to get rid of him immediately.

Hmph, just wait, when he catches him, you must let him know what it means to be indifferent to appearances, and to be immeasurable in sea water!

"You are so brave, you dare to disobey the imperial decree. It is disrespectful to disobey the decree. Immediately arrest the second prince Shang Hui, Zhen Wang Shangxin and their accomplices. Those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!"

The second prince and monk Xin ran away, and the situation in Duke Wei's mansion was not so smooth.

Apparently Duan Zhenghong underestimated the strength of the private soldiers of Duke Wei's mansion, and he let Duke Wei rush out of the encirclement with the soldiers to protect the queen.

He only thought that there were only a few hundred soldiers in Duke Wei's mansion, but he didn't know that as early as the end of last autumn, Duke Wei had secretly mobilized thousands of direct descendants of the Southern Army into Beijing, and they had been scattered in the streets and alleys around Duke Wei's mansion.

Ever since the old emperor suppressed Wei Guogong's son to succeed Nanyun's coach for the third time, Wei Guogong had his own plans, but he didn't expect the emperor to be seriously ill, and he hadn't stepped outside the palace wall since the end of autumn. Over there, it was vaguely revealed that the emperor intended to make the second prince the crown prince, but he suppressed his previous thoughts.

Unexpectedly, if he didn't do anything, someone couldn't wait any longer, and actually seized the opportunity to kill the king and seize the throne.

Thinking of this, Duke Wei was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but the only thing to be thankful for was that with these Nanyun soldiers who had entered the capital ahead of time, there was still some power to protect themselves.

The first thing they have to do now is to rush out of the city. The imperial guards rebelled. The palace and the capital are the places where they have the strongest control. Now they have to rush out of the capital first. Relying on the orthodox identity of the second prince's eldest son and their influence in the southern army, it is not difficult to counter-kill the capital.

The most important thing now is to escape first, and don't suffocate to death in the capital.

"Have you found the second prince?"

Wei Guogong anxiously asked the family generals around him, the person sent to find the second prince has been out for a while, but until now he has not seen the second prince come to join him.

"I've already gone to look for it, and it was reported that the Second Prince was in the inner city street. There are too many people there. Although some people have dispersed, it will take some time to find the Second Prince." , and took the initiative to ask for orders: "Let the last general go too, the last general will bring 200 people there, and I will definitely get the second prince back even if I die."

But just when Wei Guogong was about to nod, the queen suddenly stopped him and added, "When you are looking for the second prince, you should also go to King Zhen. If you see him, you must protect him well."

When the famous general heard the queen's sudden order, he couldn't help being stunned, but Wei Guogong scolded angrily: "What time is this? It's too late for Gu's family, why are you asking for trouble to find King Zhen?"

The queen had a cold face, and said without any taboo: "What if Shang Hui is already dead?"

Wei Guogong was speechless when he was stunned by his daughter's cold and unfettered words.

yes!What if Shang Hui was dead before they found it?

"Then, let's do what the queen said, but if you find the second prince, you don't have to waste time looking for King Zhen. It's important to leave the city first."

"No! You must find King Zhen." The queen suddenly became stubborn at this time.

Wei Guogong was so angry that he was about to jump, but this is not a good time for arguing, and seeing his daughter's insistence, he vaguely felt that her daughter was so determined to find the King Zhen whom she didn't usually pay attention to. He had other meanings, so he could only jump up and say to the general who was already at a loss: "OK, OK, look for the two together, no matter which one you find first, send it out of the city first, make sure that the two The prince's safety."

Daxian held Shang Xin tightly and led him through the streets and alleys of the inner city. Cats flashed by from time to time along the way, running fast in front of them.

These were summoned by the Great Immortal to guide them with a secret method, and no one is more familiar with this territory than these stray cats who have been wandering the streets and alleys all year round.

While running, Daxian secretly used his spiritual power to set up blindfolds and intercepting magic circles. The blinding tricks were to stop Shi Dali's imperial guards, and the intercepting magic circles were to——

Suddenly, Daxian stopped and stopped in a small open space where alleys intersect.

"Why stop?" Wei Yin tightly clutched the wound on his waist and frowned anxiously.

"That old ghost is trapped by my magic circle, do you want to get rid of him now?" Daxian suddenly turned his head and asked Shang Xin.

Shang Xin's heart skipped a beat when he was asked by the Daxian, but when he turned his head and saw Wei Yin whose waist was soaked in blood, he shook his head, "Leave the city first, the British Duke and the Tiger Cavalry Army are still waiting for us."

"Alright, let him cut off the back for us, and leave him to fight that black-haired pig for a while."

After finishing speaking, Daxian continued to take Shang Xin's hand and quickly walked towards the east gate.

On the way, Daxian saw that Wei Yin was seriously injured and his movements became more and more sluggish, so he put his other empty hand on his hand, secretly exerted spiritual power, lifted him up, and led him directly towards the gallop forward.

Following Daxian, even Ah Dong and Wan Ji, who were quite good at lightness kung fu, were panting like cows when they ran to the east gate not far away. Everyone couldn't help secretly rejoicing that it was fortunate that Old Fulin didn't follow, otherwise his old arms and legs would If you can't run two steps, you will fall to your death.

But as soon as this thought crossed their minds, everyone felt uncomfortable for a while. With their current situation, it is likely that no one in Yongshan Palace would be able to survive.

But at this moment, a group of people suddenly rushed in, and the leader shouted at Shang Xin: "Is the King Zhen in front? I am Jiang Zhiping, the general of Duke Wei's family, and I came to escort His Highness King Zhen according to the Queen Mother's order." Out of town."

Shang Xin was surprised, but more than that, he was suspicious. He didn't let the man approach him, but just raised his hand and pointed to the dark alley behind him: "The second prince is behind, you go to meet him first, I don't lack manpower here."

Hearing what Shang Xin said, the man didn't force him, but said to a small officer behind him: "You stay and escort His Highness King Zhen to the east gate, and I will take others to meet His Highness the Second Highness."

Shang Xin guarded against the dozens of soldiers following them all the way, but it seemed that they really had no malicious intentions and were really here to protect him, which made him a little strange.

While running, he whispered to Daxian: "What is the queen thinking? Why did you suddenly send someone to protect me?"

"I must be afraid that you will die."

Shang Xin was so choked up by Daxian's straightforward words that he didn't know what to say next, he paused for a moment before speaking.

"Why is she afraid of me dying?"

Daxian thought for a while, "Maybe she is afraid that the second prince is dead."

"The queen protects the second prince like she protects the eyeballs. When she is so nervous, can she curse her son like this? Even if she just thinks about it." Shang Xin is very thoughtful. When he thinks about the queen's abnormal behavior, he feels There must be something wrong.

"Then there is another possibility. The empress knows that the second prince is 'dead', so she suddenly values ​​you so much." Daxian specially bit the word "dead" quite hard.

Daxian originally said this with a bit of a joke, but after he said it, his eyes met Shang Xin's, and both of them saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Does the queen really know?impossible?

At this moment, a group of people happened to turn around an alleyway and entered a main street full of soldiers and horses. The sound of shouting and fighting and fighting was deafening in the distance.

Wei Yin, who was slightly taller next to him, stared at the distance for a while, and then exclaimed in surprise: "Great! The East City Gate is still open!"
