Zhang Yi finally couldn't wait for the decree, so he sent Huang Zhuangquan to guard here, and then turned around to find the prince to recite.
Huang Zhuangquan looked at the palace, his gloomy eyes slightly narrowed, and he said coldly to the adjutant Li He beside him: "Bring me the things you have prepared!"
"I obey my orders!" Li He replied loudly.
Li He raised his right hand, and immediately behind him, two teams of strong men and horses walked steadily towards the palace gate, carrying a tree pole as thick as their hands encircling each other. Li He came behind them and watched them aim the end of the tree pole at the gate.
"Bump!" Li He gave the order, and the soldier carrying the tree pole shouted loudly, and then carried the tree pole and hit the gate.
…
After Su Liuyuan left, her dizziness suddenly improved a lot.
It was already half past midnight, and Su Liuyuan was extremely tired and just wanted to find a place to sit down and rest. When I looked up, there was a pavilion right in front of me.
"Fifth sister."
As soon as he sat down, someone called from behind him.
Su Liuyuan looked back and saw a beautiful woman wearing a deep purple dress with a gold corset around her waist standing beside the weeping willows on the path. It was Su Liuqian. Under the bright moonlight, the vermilion orchid on her forehead looked even more captivating when paired with her charming and passionate red phoenix eyes.
"Second sister." Su Liuyuan stood up and called out. Since she calls herself fifth sister, it shouldn't be a big deal if he calls her second sister, right
Concubine Qian smiled slightly and said, "Why are you here?"
"When dad and the others went back, I forgot to leave, so I followed my eldest brother here." Su Liuyuan explained.
"I see." Concubine Qian had already walked to the pavilion, and her pair of beautiful eyes were looking at Su Liuyuan.
Everyone only said that the Su family once produced a talented girl, Miss Su Er, but no one ever mentioned Miss Su Er's beauty. Compared to Wang Mei, the most beautiful woman in the Southern Qi Dynasty, Su Liuqian's beauty is as beautiful as a peach, and her youthful beauty in that moment makes her a beauty in the world, nothing more than that. But Wang Mei's beauty is that kind of cold beauty. There is actually no comparison between the two of them, but they both have flawless faces.
The two seemed to have finally met their match, looking at each other with new eyes.
"Fifth sister is really different." The one who spoke was still Concubine Qian.
Su Liuyuan said calmly: "Second sister is different too."
Concubine Qian also said with a smile: "Really? Then we are really destined. Second sister has not seen you for a long time. When I saw you in front of the hall just now, I thought I had recognized the wrong person!"
"Second sister is joking, Liuyuan has always been like this."
"No, the fifth sister has become more beautiful. I'm afraid..." Concubine Qian paused briefly and said, "The fifth sister is now the first place in the flower appreciation party. Are the fifth sisters happy?"
Concubine Qian's topic changed abruptly, but Su Liuyuan didn't pay attention to what she wanted to say but didn't, and only replied: "Miss Lu and Miss Wang are the ones who got the first place by virtue of their true abilities. Liuyuan is just opportunistic and luckily got some light."
"Fifth sister is so humble. You are the first person in the world to be praised by Mr. Baili."
Su Liuyuan was silent, looking down at the table, but thinking in her heart, it was really boring to practice Tai Chi with these people.
"Who did Fifth Sister learn arithmetic from?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, Concubine Qian had no choice but to ask casually.
"Master once taught me some, and Liuyuan found it very interesting, so he figured it out by himself every day."
Su Liuyuan still used the excuse of being in front of the hall. Although masters can teach arithmetic, there are very few who can teach it. What they teach to young ladies is just so that they can better manage the family and finances when they are the masters of the family in the future.
Concubine Qian looked at the well-behaved fifth sister of the Su family in front of her. A hint of cruelty flashed in her deep eyes, but it quickly disappeared. With a smile on his lips, he said softly: "Tonight we are trapped in the palace. Although His Royal Highnesses are here, the future is still unknown. Aren't you afraid, Fifth Sister?"
"Second sister, are you scared?" Su Liuyuan raised her eyes, looked into those watery eyes, and asked.
At this moment, "bang -" in the distance, a dull crashing sound echoed inside and outside the quiet palace.
Concubine Qian looked up, raised her long eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Afraid? We can no longer tolerate being afraid."
…
On the tower opposite the main entrance of the palace, Le He said to Xie Wei with worry and swelling, "What should we do now?"
Xie Weixing had a calm expression. After listening for a while, he turned back to Jiang Lu downstairs and said, "Vice Commander Jiang, look at my gesture and order the two doors to be opened at the same time."
"Open the door?" Jiang Lu repeated doubtfully.
"Do as Xie Weixing says. Next, whatever Xie Weixing asks you to do, just do it!" The emperor stood beside Xie Weixing, frowning and said loudly.
"Yes!" The voices were unanimous.
There happened to be a large space between the main entrance of the palace and the palace gate tower, which provided a natural space for Xie Weixing to set up the Heavenly Stems and Moon Swallowing Formation here.
When Li He ordered the collision again, Xie Weixing closed his eyes and made a gesture with his hand without hesitation. Jiang Lu took the opportunity to order the palace door to be opened.
"Ah-" The palace door suddenly opened, causing the two teams of soldiers carrying thick tree poles to fall to the ground.
When Huang Zhuangquan, who was guarding the door, saw that the palace door had opened, he shouted loudly: "Come on!"
The soldiers filed in behind him. The Tiangan Tianyue Formation waiting inside the palace gate was like a hungry tiger, scattering the intruding soldiers into the formation one by one. The eight hundred elite soldiers Gao Er gave to Xie Weixing were all wearing blood-red inner bodyguard uniforms, and they could be clearly distinguished from the black soldiers brought by Huang Zhuangquan at a glance.
What Tiangan Tunyue pays attention to is to disperse the enemy's strength one by one, shoot them down one by one, and achieve the effect of disintegration. The reason why he adopted this formation was because the palace was impregnable and if he wanted to enter, there was only one entrance: the front entrance. The Heavenly Stems and Moon Swallowing Formation was placed in front of the main entrance, and a master like Gao Er was able to seize the formation's eye in a Yipin shape. The right time, right place, right people, and the right people are all in place.
After a while, the sounds of screams and the sound of swords piercing flesh floated into everyone's ears. When they came back to their senses, the first batch of soldiers who rushed in had died without a trace.
The emperor and Le He who were upstairs at the palace gate couldn't help but be shocked by the power of this formation when they saw this scene.
Huang Zhuangquan outside the palace gate was stunned when he looked at the scenes of blood and flesh. He had been on the battlefield. On the battlefield, scenes of limbs being separated were not uncommon, but he did not expect that in this palace in the capital, there would be such scenes. It opened his eyes, which had to make him tremble with fear. He moved his gaze upwards and discovered a faint figure on top of the palace gate tower.
"Xie Weixing—" He murmured, but his heart felt half cold.
"Master Huang, what should we do? What kind of formation is this formation? It has cost us so many brothers!" A lean man next to Huang Zhuangquan stepped forward on a horse and said worriedly.
"What should we do? We're afraid we're all going to die here tonight!" Huang Zhuangquan couldn't think of any other way. He was just an illiterate general. How could he know how to use troops
"Should we send someone to invite Mr. Zhang to come over?"
"No need!" An idea flashed through Huang Zhuang's mind, a look of madness suddenly appeared in his eyes, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll burn this bullshit formation on fire! Let's see if they can still show it off!"
