02. A close call - the heroine blocks the gate of the palace,? A close call turns the tide.

Midnight was the most sleepy time, and the guards of the Forbidden Army at the gate of Deshengmen felt drowsy listening to the regular sound of rain falling on the eaves.

Just when the guard was about to lean on the pillar and stare for a while, he felt the cold wind blowing in his face, and the sound of horseshoes came from his ears.

The guard shuddered and woke up.

Seeing the man in iron armor with a sharp sword appearing in front of him like a ghost, he hastily drew his sword and said sharply: "Who dares to break into the capital at night!"

The man approached, and the guard immediately saw the man's face: "Prince, Prince."

"Open the gate."

The guard was so frightened that his legs went limp. He hurriedly removed the horn from his waist. Before he could blow it, the horn rolled to the ground with a rumbling sound. Along with the horn, the guard's head rolled down.

At this moment, Wu Xun has locked up the remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals inside the Desheng Gate with an iron chain, tapped acupuncture points, and threw them directly into the rain, leaving them to fend for themselves.

The two met at the bottom of the city, slowly lowered the city gate, and two horses, one black and one white, rushed into the city first. The two turned on their horses, and led a large group of horses towards the Forbidden City without stopping. ? Only a small number of soldiers were left to guard Deshengmen.

At this moment, the forbidden area is quiet, except for a group of ministers standing under the eaves of the side hall in front of Fengqi Palace.

"Your majesty, my ministers have something important to say." It was Qiu Chao who spoke, his voice was vicissitudes and deep, and even under the cover of the rainy night, it could be heard like a phoenix in the palace.

Qiu Chao and the ministers behind him held a memorial in their hands. It seemed that they were just having an audience late at night,? But the guards holding swords around them showed that this was not an audience, but a coercion.

"If your majesty refuses to come out to accept the minister's advice, the minister will have to force his way for the sake of the country's interests. If you disturb the empress, please forgive me."

Qiu Chao waved his hand, signaling the left and right imperial guards to attack the closed gate of Fengqi Palace.

At this moment, the palace gate of Fengqi Palace suddenly opened, and a group of people and horses came out from inside. The leader rode on the horse and shouted loudly: "Who dares to commit crimes!"

Behind this person were dozens of Yulin guards, who forcibly blocked the gate of Fengqi Palace and blocked the pace of the imperial army.

Qiu Chao narrowed his eyes, and suddenly laughed loudly: "I like your temper, why don't you be my daughter-in-law?"

"Bah!" The man on the tall horse spat in a haughty tone, "Do you like this princess?"

This person is Princess Anping. At this moment, she has changed from her usual water-red palace attire and put on heavy armor.

"Leave all to me!" Princess Anping cast her eyes coldly at the imperial guards, the spears in her hands shone coldly under the washing of the rain.

Someone in the imperial army couldn't help taking a step back because of Anping's imposing manner, Qiu Chao frowned displeasedly: "Those who retreat, beheaded!"

It was too late and then too fast, the head of the imperial guard who took half a step back had already landed, and rolled all the way under Anping's horse.Anping gritted his teeth, pretending he didn't see this scene.

"Princess's hands really shouldn't be holding guns. As long as the princess backs down, the old man promises that the princess will still be a princess in the future, and enjoy the glory and wealth." Qiu Chao walked out of the roof, and the person holding the umbrella banner behind him followed suit. "If confronted head-on, the princess will only be the ghost of these forbidden soldiers today."

"So what?" Anping's phoenix eyes widened, "I live on the court's salary and enjoy the support of the people. Although I can't fight the enemy like the prince's brother, at least I have to use my own strength to protect my court so that I don't get hurt. If Yu falls into the hands of a country thief like you, then people will lose their lives and lose their homes."

Qiu Chao laughed again: "Princess misunderstood me, I never wanted to steal the country. Afterwards, I still respect Your Majesty as Emperor and Empress as Empress. I just don't want to be a fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered by others. "

"Being a courtier, making trouble for the government, deceiving the superior and the inferior, fish and meat the common people, what is this if it's not stealing the country?" Anping said coldly, "After you keep saying that you respected your father and queen, you brought the rebels to besiege and imprison you. I only saw that You want to force the palace!"

An Ping's gaze coldly glanced at those imperial troops following Qiu Chao, those who met her eyes lowered their heads unconsciously, the word "rebel" was like a thorn in the back, making people afraid to look up.

"Strange

Just blame your prince brother. "Qiu Chao twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a half smile, "If he hadn't been too aggressive, how would I have come to this point. "

"Tsk, it's the first time I've met a dog jumping over the wall and leaning on the wall." Anping retorted without hesitation.

Qiu Chao didn't say much anymore, he also saw Anping's intention - delaying time.Although Qiu Chao was also waiting for someone, he also knew that delaying time would be bad for him.

Looking at Anping who was blocking the entrance of Fengqi Palace, Qiu Chao's heart sank, and he said in a deep voice, "Do it."

The imperial army seemed to be silent at the same time, at least when Qiu Chao said "behead the violator", someone finally rushed towards Anping with an "ah—" and was stabbed through by Anping's spear.

Blood flowed out from the silver gun, Anping looked at the man with bulging eyes in horror and despair, and the hand holding the long gun couldn't hold the handle of the gun.However, other imperial guards rushed up, and Habayashi shouted: "Protect the princess!"

Anping gritted his teeth and pulled the spear out of the man's body forcefully, brandishing the gun and fighting with the swarming imperial guards.In the beginning, Anping and Habayashi stood on the top of the peak, because Anping sat on a horse condescendingly and injured several people.But soon Qiu Chao discovered the problem: "Attack the horse's legs."

Anping was startled, and angrily reprimanded: "Who dares to offend Tianwei!"

The angry reprimand only stopped these people for a moment, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, Qiu Chao rewarded a high-ranking official with a generous salary as a bait, and the imperial guards attacked Anping again.

Hooves raised and horses neighed, it was an arrow that ended all of this.

An arrow shot from north to south pierced Qiu Chao's waving memorial, and before Qiu Chao looked back, the shouts of killing had already shaken the sky——

"Eliminate Qiu thieves, defend the mountains and rivers."

"Protect the princess!" The leader, Lu Jue, shouted loudly. Anping was suddenly relieved when he saw Lu Jue and the soldiers who filled the forbidden area in an instant.Just when Anping was about to retreat, he slashed directly at the horse's leg. The horse raised its hooves because of the pain, and Anping turned his body and looked like he was about to fall off the horse.

There was a person outside the crowd whose eyes were red. He used a long spear and his body to kill a bloody path regardless of his body. He rushed forward, and the blade directly touched his shoulder blade.

Because of the momentum of the armor and the man's disregard, the head of the knife bent directly.If he used more strength, the blade could penetrate the armor and pierce the person's shoulder, but the person holding the sword in both hands was timid. He never thought that there would be such a way of fighting for life, so he let go , "Canglang" a long knife fell to the ground.

Anping had already closed her eyes, but what greeted her was not the cold and hard floor tiles, but a slightly softer embrace than the floor tiles.Anping waited for a long time but did not wait for the expected situation. He opened his eyes and met a pair of bloodshot eyes.

To Anping, this face was familiar but unfamiliar.It is familiar because she has secretly painted it hundreds of times with a brush, and it is unfamiliar because this face is unshaven, covered with vicissitudes of life and dirt, and there is no trace of the heroic appearance of a young general.

Anping laughed happily, stretched out his fingers and smacked his cheek: "Why did you lose weight?"

The person holding Anping was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had heard wrongly, but he had no time to think about it.He wrapped Anping's arms around his neck, supported Anping's back with one hand, and supported Anping's knees with the other: "The princess is offended."

He stood up directly, and quickly rushed out of the encirclement that he had just torn apart.The other imperial guards were astonished at his actions just now, and when they came back to their senses again, they found that their only bargaining chips and life-saving charms had been lost.

Seeing that Anping was rescued, Lu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer had any scruples: "All officers and soldiers obey orders! Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

Blood stained the land in front of Fengqi Palace, and despair gradually shrouded the eyes of the rebellious imperial guards and officials.

"What does the prince mean?" Qiu Chao's voice trembled, as if he had been greatly wronged, "The prince should be in the northwest at this time."

"I'm not alone in the northwest, let you down?" While speaking, Lu Xi swung his sword and chopped off the head of a rebel. Lu Xi flicked the tip of the Lilong sword, and the blood on the tip of the sword mixed with rainwater and fell on Qiu Chao's chest. body.

"It's not that the old minister is disappointed, it's that His Majesty will be disappointed." Qiu Chao kept shaking his head, "You can't lead the border guards without edict, this is why

ancestral system.The crown prince led the troops into the customs without authorization, and then led the troops to break into the forbidden area without authorization. This is a capital crime!Could it be that the prince wants to force the palace to seize power! "

The eyes of the ministers who followed Qiu Chao forced the palace to have a glimmer of hope again, yes, they haven't lost yet.

"Oh?" Lu Xi glanced at the forbidden army, "Aren't these people your soldiers?"

"Naturally not." Qiu Chao spoke decisively, "This subject entered the palace alone, met a colleague on the way, agreed with each other, so they entered the palace together and wanted to see His Majesty. It's just that His Majesty avoided seeing him and waited here. There is even a misunderstanding with the princess, the guards are there to protect the princess from falling from her horse."

Lu Xun was overjoyed, flicked the reins and walked to the first arrow he shot, bent down to grab the arrow, and took off the memorial that the arrow penetrated: "Is this your political opinion?"

Qiu Chao also smiled: "The memorial is presented to the emperor, even the crown prince has no right to read it first. If the crown prince reads the memorial and kills, wouldn't it be against the world's disgrace, and the crown prince does not want to be a usurper Fame?"

Lu Xi laughed: "Gudang, what do you want to say? Is there an order for you to ask the emperor?"

Qiu Chao also finally uttered his heartfelt voice: "The old minister came here today with the intention of mortal death. His Highness the Crown Prince has seized power without regard for His Majesty, and supports his troops with self-respect. Even if His Majesty thinks that the old minister's audience is too radical, the old minister is willing to die. The emperor clarifies the eyes and ears, and rectifies the foundation of the country."

"You really don't want to die until the Yellow River..." Lu Xi didn't say anything more, Qiu Chao was waiting, and Lu Xi was also waiting, he was waiting for a criminal evidence that could make Qiu Chao annihilate the Nine Clans forever.

At this moment, the imperial army rebels who followed Qiu Chao had been subdued by Lu Xi's personal soldiers, and the courtiers had also been besieged.

Elders of one or three dynasties invited out the iron coupons of the alchemy book, and the leader showed his sword: "The sword of Shangfang is here. If your majesty comes in person, you can't leave the house without an order!"

The greenness on the face of the person holding Shang Fang's sword in his hand has faded, and his eyes are determined.The Southwest and his party finally hammered out a handle and scabbard for this young man. Now his sharpness has faded away from the arrogance of the Jianghu people, but his hand holding the knife is still steady, and he chopped off the servant of the mansion who wanted to resist. head.

"Those who want to cross this line will end up here!"

Finally no one dared to move.

The prince's personal guards took control of the nine city gates, and the newly appointed commander of the Imperial Army took over the capital.Everyone was waiting, and the rain gradually died down, but no one moved.

Under the cover of the rain curtain, with a sound of "Yiya", the back door of a seemingly ordinary courtyard opened, and a carriage quietly drove towards the direction of the Forbidden City.

The wheels rolled and brought up rain and mud spots.

The newly appointed commander of the imperial army moved his ears, and his gaze fell far away on the small courtyard where the sound came from. The corner of his mouth twitched coldly, but he didn't move to stop him.

The corner gate of the Forbidden City opened and closed again, and the carriage quietly entered the Huaiju Palace.
