Following Zhao Dechang out of the room, several soldiers from the Night Guard Battalion protected him in the middle.
Although the soldiers of the Night Thorn Battalion were already very vigilant, they still did not notice that in the dark corner, a figure with a straw stick in its mouth was standing there leisurely with its arms folded.
When Zhao Dechang left, the figure jumped towards the direction where the shouts of killing came from.
Under the protection of eight soldiers from the Night Assassin Battalion, Zhao Dechang ran to the place where the guards and the assassins in black were fighting. He put his hands on his hips and shouted to the guards who were fighting: "Guards, the soldiers from the Night Assassination Battalion are here to help us. We must kill all these thieves today!"
Yang Rong¡¯s Ye Ci Camp is now in the Song Dynasty, and its reputation is definitely higher than that of Li Jilong¡¯s Jingsai Army. As long as they are officers and soldiers in the army, no one has heard of the name Ye Ciying.
As soon as they heard that the people from the Yeji camp were coming, the guards' morale immediately rose, and they howled and rushed towards the men in black who were fighting with them.
Originally, this group of men in black had a slight upper hand with their superb martial arts, but after the guards pounced, they suddenly lost their advantage and were forced to retreat many steps back.
"Get out of the way!" The two sides were fighting inextricably. With a loud shout, a young man dressed in black but not masked roared and rushed towards the assassins in black from the side.
This young man rushed towards the group of black-clothed assassins, his sword flying in his hand, and with a series of sword lights, the black-clothed assassins in front of him screamed and fell to the ground.
The sudden appearance of young people completely changed the entire battle situation. It didn't take long. With the help of young people, the guards cleaned up all the assassins in black.
Seeing that all his companions were dead, the last assassin turned around and wanted to run away, but the young man caught up with him and stabbed him lightly on the neck with his long sword.
A stream of blood splashed out from the neck of the man in black, and then his body fell softly to the ground.
After killing the last assassin, the young man did not go to see Zhao Dechang and walked toward the wall of Prince Shou's Mansion.
This young man¡¯s martial arts skills were so good that the officers and soldiers of the Night Sword Battalion surrounding Zhao Dechang did not dare to relax their vigilance at all. All eight of them clenched their weapons and stared at him without blinking.
All officers and soldiers of the night camp were all good handsome in the army. Before the army, they also walked on the rivers and lakes. How can they not distinguish the good or bad of martial arts.
If the young man in front of him really makes a move, I am afraid that none of the officers and soldiers of the Night Assassin Battalion who came to Tokyo this time will be his opponent. Even Chen Rui, if they fight with him, they will only be on a par with him. between.
"Are you also from Ye Ci Camp?" Zhao Dechang asked the young man quickly after he had taken a few steps.
The young man did not look back, but just waved his hand and said to Zhao Dechang: "No, but I saved you for Yang Rong's sake."
After speaking, he quickened his pace, flashed a few times, and then disappeared into the vast darkness.
"He's not one of yours?" Looking in the direction where the young man disappeared, Zhao Dechang asked a soldier from the Night Assassin Camp with some confusion.
"Your Highness, I have never seen this person." If Chen Rui were here at this time, he would definitely recognize this person as the person who almost killed Yang Rong on his way to Tokyo, but these days None of the soldiers from the Night Camp had met him, so naturally they had never seen him. When Zhao Dechang asked, the soldiers from the Night Camp responded quickly.
Logically speaking, if the prince was assassinated, the garrison should arrive soon to maintain order, but this time something happened that Zhao Dechang could not understand.
The assassins had been wiped out, but no one came to Prince Shou's Mansion to investigate the situation. It was not until nearly an hour passed, and it was almost dawn, that a team of soldiers arrived belatedly.
As soon as the pair of officers and soldiers who came to investigate the situation entered Prince Shou's Mansion, Zhao Dechang went up to him with a frown on his face, glared angrily at the leading officer and cursed: "Assassins have entered the Prince's Mansion, why are you so negligent?"
Seeing that Zhao Dechang was a little angry, the officer quickly clasped his fists, bowed deeply and said to him: "Reporting to King Shou, King Xu also encountered an assassin on his way back from the Prime Minister's Mansion last night. He is now seriously injured and his life and death are at stake. I don¡¯t know. All the generals and others were transferred to the location of the incident to prevent the thieves from taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble. Therefore, I am late. Your Highness, Wanwang, forgive me!"
"What?" Hearing that Zhao Yuanxi was also attacked and seriously injured, Zhao Dechang was stunned for a moment, grabbed the officer's arm and asked him, "How is King Xu?"
"It's not optimistic!" The officer shook his head and sighed, and said to Zhao Dechang: "When we arrived, King Xu had been rescued by the guards and returned to the palace to escort him.Most of his guards were killed, and he also fell from the carriage and broke his head. The imperial doctor should be treating King Xu at the moment. "
After listening to the officer's words, Zhao Dechang was stunned when he remembered Yang Rong's reminder to him, with an unusually solemn expression on his face.
After a while, he asked the officer again: "Where is my father?"
"You should be at Prince Xu's mansion right now!" the officer lowered his head and replied.
"Quick! Prepare your carriages and horses!" Hearing that Song Taizong should be at Zhao Yuanxi's house, Zhao Dechang quickly shouted to the guards in his house: "Xiao Wang is going to visit his brother, and there are other important things to report to the father!"
The efficiency of the palace is unparalleled by ordinary people. After Zhao Dechang gave his orders, before anyone could reach the gate of the palace courtyard, the carriages and horses were already ready.
With eight soldiers from the Night Assassin Battalion holding the carriage on both sides, Zhao Dechang went straight to Zhao Yuanxi's house under the escort of a group of guards.
Since the two brothers competed for the throne, there has been very little movement between them. Zhao Dechang was able to come to visit Zhao Yuanxi, which really surprised many people.
As soon as he entered Prince Xu's Mansion, Zhao Dechang felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. There was a sad atmosphere in the palace, and some servants had begun to hang white cloths in the courtyard.
When Zhao Dechang saw the white cloths hanging up, his heart tightened and he quickly quickened his pace.
When he rushed into Zhao Yuanxi's bedroom, he saw Zhao Yuanxi sleeping upright on the bed. Zhao Dechang shouted: "Brother Wang!" and rushed towards the bed.
Song Taizong was also sitting by the bed at this time. When he saw Zhao Dechang coming, he turned his head and glanced at the third son who barely moved with Zhao Yuanxi. The expression on his face had long lost the majesty of the Nine-Fifth Lord, and was replaced by It is a strong feeling of sadness.
Throwing himself to the bed, Zhao Dechang grasped Zhao Yuanxi's already cold hand with both hands, closed his eyes tightly, and tears burst into his eyes. He choked and shouted again: "Brother Wang!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, novels are better Update faster!)
