Qin Liuqi¡¯s men suffered many defeats, but they still failed to break into the Prince¡¯s East Palace. Yesterday, with the help of people from Cishou Palace, he and his people were lurking in the palace just waiting to do things today. But he never expected that Wu Yiyi would be hiding in the East Palace. What he didn't expect was that Wu Daodao's cultivation level was unfathomable.
He was angry and annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
His cultivation level was not low, and Fang Henshui had no power to fight back in front of him. But Wu Yiyi was not alone. Behind him were many inner court guards left by the emperor. Like Li Nan, these people did not belong to any yamen, but took orders directly from the emperor. The person who manages these people is Su Buwei.
There is no doubt about Qin Liuqi's cultivation, otherwise Prince Yi Yang Yin would not have planned to let him be the dean of the Yanwu Academy in the future. But it can only be said that Prince Yi knew too little about the emperor and the city of Chang'an. Prince Yi thought he had mastered absolute strength, but how could he know. Only when you become an emperor can you inherit many secrets from the previous emperor.
These secrets can only be known by the emperor alone.
Qin Liuqi and his men rushed several times but were unable to break into the Prince's East Palace. Just as he was getting more and more anxious, the empress dowager's trusted maid from the Cishou Palace came over with a few people.
"How about it?"
The maid asked Qin Liuqi with a frown.
Qin Liuqi was so angry that he was too lazy to answer this idiotic question. They were still blocked from the East Palace, so there was no need to ask how they were doing!
Seeing Qin Liuqi¡¯s ugly face, the old palace maid stopped asking questions. She looked at the person blocking the door of the East Palace, gritted her teeth and said: "Let's go together, we can't miss anything today. You should know that once the matter fails, it will not only be your prince, but also the Queen Mother who will be involved." Fall in!"
Qin Liuqi said angrily: "It's too early for you to show up now!"
The old palace maid said coldly: "I don't care so much anymore. The situation outside the palace is obviously not going well. If the prince and queen are not taken down as soon as possible, the prince will be in trouble. I just sent people to check outside the palace. The square The surrounding areas have been blocked by the army, and there is no way to get through!¡±
Qin Liuqi¡¯s expression changed, he nodded and said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go together!¡±
The two people looked at each other and then rushed over at the same time.
Wu Yiyi watched the palace maids appear and couldn't help but smile: "Finally can't sit still anymore? I'm just waiting for you people from Cishou Palace to show up, otherwise it's really hard to do things perfectly." !¡±
He suddenly raised his hands and shouted: "Do it!"
Following his order, a large number of soldiers suddenly poured out from all over the palace. These people are very different from ordinary guards and the Forbidden Army. They wore Mingguang armor and held large swords. They were strong and tall, and their steps were steady and majestic. These people strode out from everywhere and soon surrounded Qin Liuqi's people.
When he saw these people, Qin Liuqi's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Didn't you say that you would leave the palace with the emperor?"
Qin Liuqi asked the old palace maid loudly.
The old palace maid's face was equally ugly. She swallowed hard and said: "Early in the morning, the emperor sent someone to Cishou Palace and said that he would attend the troop dispatching ceremony today and would not come to greet the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother tested the little eunuch. , said that when the emperor travels, he must be closely guarded. The little eunuch said that his majesty has arranged for a military camp to accompany him"
When she said this, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes: "Could it bedid the emperor deliberately let the little eunuch say this?!"
"Walk!"
Qin Liuqi shouted loudly, turned around and rushed out.
His remaining one hundred and ten men also tried to attack outwards, but in front of the service camp, they were like trash that had been sold with a straw tag, and there was no resistance at all. The elites of the Geshi camp were selected from all over the Sui Dynasty. There were only eight hundred in number. These people trained secretly all year round, and their cooperation had reached the point where there were no gaps. In addition, these people are all masters, and Qin Liuqi's people are just a bunch of rabble compared to them.
The crossbow arrows shot at the soldiers in the service camp could not pierce their Mingguang armor at all. And their Da Mo Dao was so heavy and sharp that it could cut a horse or a giant bear into two pieces with one blow, not to mention a person. The assassins were retreating steadily, rushing out. What stopped them were the elites of the military camp that they could not afford to offend. He wanted to step back, but behind him were the inner court guards led by Wu Yiyi. There were copper walls and iron walls in front and behind. Soon, these assassins were slowly squeezed into flesh by these two walls.
No matter how high Qin Liuqi¡¯s cultivation level is, facing the people who have already formed a formation?It¡¯s also very difficult. In terms of fighting alone, no matter how elite the soldiers in the service camp are, they are no match for him. However, once the soldiers in the service camp reach more than ten people, it will be difficult for martial arts masters to win unless they rely on strong cultivation to fight from a distance.
If there were only people from the service camp, Qin Liuqi would abandon his men and escape by himself, although it would be more difficult, but it would not be without a glimmer of hope. But not only did he have to face these elite killing machines, he also had to face Wu Yiyi, who was also very skilled.
In less than half an hour, Qin Liuqi¡¯s men were surrounded and annihilated by the military camp.
At this time, only he and the old maid from Cishou Palace were left standing back to back. Seeing that there was no hope of breaking out, the old palace maid gritted her teeth and whispered: "I can't harm the Queen Mother no matter what. As long as I die, the emperor can't do anything to the Queen Mother. Qin Liuqi, what are you going to do?"
Qin Liuqi¡¯s face became paler and paler, without a trace of blood. He was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "There is no way to recover from today's defeat!"
After saying this, he raised his hand and slapped his forehead!
The old palace maid did the same thing. She flipped her wrist and wiped the sword towards her throat.
At this moment, two extremely strong internal energies suddenly shot out from nowhere. One internal energy knocked the long sword from the old palace maid's hand away, and another internal energy knocked away Qin Liuqi's hand. palm.
I saw a somewhat tired Dean Zhou rushing from a distance, blocking the suicide attempts of Qin Liuqi and the old palace maid with two volleys.
He rushed to the palace from Prince Yi's Mansion. He was obviously tired and even his breathing was a little uneven. In addition, he spent a lot of energy and was injured in the decisive battle with Xiao Yijiu, so his cultivation at this time is far worse than usual. But dealing with Qin Liuqi and the old palace maid was still not difficult.
Zhuo Buyi, who followed Dean Zhou, had a sharp look in his eyes, and the veins on his temples gradually appeared. Under the prison of the painting, the old palace maid could no longer move. Wu Yiyi stepped forward and knocked Qin Liuqi down with one palm.

There were many pedestrians on the street outside Anyuan Houfu, or because it was too far away from Tai Chi Palace, the news of the rebellion in the square had not yet spread. The vendors selling goods on both sides of the street were still joking with each other. Baili Chang'an is so big that the people here don't know that a bloody storm has begun.
At the corner of the street, Zhang Kuang glanced back at his men, and then nodded: "Each group of five people, go over in batches, rush in directly when you get to the gate of Anyuanhou's mansion, don't worry about other people, find Anyuanhou and kill him directly Drop it. This person is one of the people on the list given by Manager Qin who must be killed. There must be no mistakes. Don¡¯t worry about what happens elsewhere. Do your own thing, and the prince will not treat you badly!"
The Snake Guard men under him responded, and twenty people walked out in four groups.
They stood a few meters apart and tried their best to control the pace. The people of the Snake Guard have been training secretly for a long time, and each of them is no stranger to killing. Today, the people of the Snake Guard were assigned, and Zhang Kuang and Mo Xiandao led the teams separately.
On the list that Zhang Kuang got, he had already thought of the order of assassination for the most important people. Although Marquis Anyuan is just an old man who lives far away from the court, he is also a member of the Yang family. This person had always opposed Prince Yi's return to the court and took power. Every time he met the emperor, he would say something bad about Prince Yi.
Such a stubborn old man, he is old, not short of money, and has no other pursuits besides keeping his own loyalty, so it is difficult to bribe him.
There has never been a shortage of such people in the Yang royal family. They are only loyal to the current emperor. Perhaps this is a necessary choice for them to protect themselves, or perhaps it is their deep-seated paranoia about orthodoxy. It is difficult for them to accept a rebel becoming emperor, and they will be particularly resistant even if the matter is settled.
Such people must be killed.
Kill one to serve as a warning to hundreds.
After Zhang Kuang waited for his men to go out, he took a deep breath and walked out of the alley. He pretended to look at the stalls on both sides of the street casually, but his eyes glanced at the men in front of him from time to time. Just when those people were approaching the gate of Anyuan Marquis Mansion, a group of people welcoming the bride suddenly came from across the street, playing and playing, and it was very lively.
The people of the Snake Guard stepped out of the way and waited for the wedding team to pass by. Zhang Kuang also stepped aside. When he watched the wedding team passing by, his expression suddenly changed.
On the ground, twenty corpses were lying.
Just when he was stunned, the woman selling vegetables next to him stood up and stabbed his lower back with a dagger. Zhang Kuang was in pain, turned around and knocked the woman away with a palm. The woman spurted a mouthful of blood in mid-air and was lifeless when she landed on the ground. Crazy and pale, he touched the dagger on his waist before lowering his head. A farmer passing by carrying a load took out a short knife from his arms and stabbed him in the back.?
Hearing the news, Zhang Kuang turned around and grabbed the farmer's hand, then smashed the man's face with a punch. Like the previous woman, the farmer had no cultivation at all.
Zhang Kuang began to be afraid, and became more and more afraid.
A person passing by not far away screamed out in fright and looked at the body on the ground tremblingly. Zhang Kuang covered his lower back and walked back, blood flowing down his hand like a stream. A series of bloody footprints were left on the ground. Passing by the frightened pedestrian, the man suddenly pulled out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and stabbed it into Zhang Kuang's abdomen. Zhang Kuang glanced down in confusion, then raised his hand and smashed the man's forehead.
More than a dozen people selling vegetables, meat, and various goods on both sides of the street rushed over. They stabbed Zhang Kuang with the daggers in their hands with calm expressions. Zhang Kuang, who had lost too much blood, killed more than ten people in a row, but was stabbed again.
At this moment, the welcoming team that had passed before stopped, and a one-armed man walked out of the sedan where the bride was supposed to be sitting. He drew his knife with the same expressionless expression, but unlike the previous ones, he had repair skills. For, and not vulgar. The knife made a sharp mark and cut off Zhang Kuang's throat.
When he fell down, Zhang Kuang couldn't help but think, what on earth happened?
He didn¡¯t know that the Ouchi Guards had secretly trained a large number of civilians. None of them had the power to cultivate, but they were all very good killers. Fang Jie had met such a person on his way to Chang'an.
