The soldiers on both sides suddenly became tense, their swords facing each other, and their eyes were serious.
Rong Chang'an has never seen such a big world, how can he be intimidated by the current situation. Calm and not afraid, calm as water.
"If you want to enter Yong'an Palace, first step on my head, Rong Chang'an!"
Guo Zhen said to Zhang An and Geng Di: "My lords, we are riding a tiger together at this moment, please give orders!"
Zhang An and Geng Di then shouted in unison: "Shoot into Yong'an Palace and arrest the rebels!"
With an order, Guo Zhen walked ahead single-handedly, and shouted sharply: "If there is any obstacle, I will split them in half one by one!"
But the guards showed no fear at all, and stretched out their spears to prevent Guo Zhen from rushing into Yong'an Palace. Guo Zhen swung his broadsword, chopping off more than a dozen spear heads to the ground. The knife flashed, and five guards were cut to the ground by him. At this time, the guards had withdrawn a path, Guo Zhen slashed his sword and rode his horse, and shouted:
"Rong Changan, take your life!"
Rong Chang'an was like a weeping willow by the river, with fluttering white clothes, as if he was fragile, but his footing was stable and could not be shaken. And the calm and confident smile on her beautiful face made Guo Zhen puzzled and scared.
"The emperor is here!"
The sound from Yong'an Palace was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, almost knocking Guo Zhen off his horse. He tightened the reins, but the horse couldn't stop for a while, and stood up abruptly, screaming, Guo Zhen couldn't hold it firmly, and fell off the horse with a thud.
"Take Guo Zhen down!"
When Rong Chang'an gave an order, four guards stepped forward to trap Guo Zhen.
Guo Zhen didn't cry out for pain at all, and looked into the dark gate of Yong'an Palace with a pair of confused and terrified eyes.
"The emperor... the emperor is... still there?"
This is not only the voice of Guo Zhen, but also the voice of Zhang An and Geng Di, and even Zi Yan.
"I have already told you that the emperor is safe and sound, but you actually think that the emperor has been killed, what is your intention?"
Before Rong Chang'an finished speaking, a group of horses and horses came out from the gate, one person under Qing Luo's umbrella was sitting on a basket, followed by an eunuch holding a whisk. Yan Li, who caught up, smiled slightly, his eyes flicked over the faces of Guo Zhen, Zhang An and Geng Di.
"My lords, what are you going to do?"
Zhang An and Geng Di looked at each other in dismay, their hearts were torn apart, and they didn't know what to say. The current Yan Li can completely arrest them for treason and put them in prison.
"We...we..."
Rong Changan walked up to Yan Li and helped Yan Li stretch out his apricot-yellow cloak: "Your Majesty, you were frightened in the main hall of Yong'an Palace just now. Not good."
Rong Changan's words were clearly meant for Yan Li, but they were actually meant for Zhang An and others.
Yan Li was indeed assassinated in the hall, and he was a little frightened—maybe even slightly injured, but it's not a problem, and he will be fine after a few days of recuperation. However, Zhang An and others provoked trouble and woke Yan Li up. If he got sick from the cold, then Zhang An, Geng Di, and Guo Zhen would be the culprits.
Listening to Rong Changan's words, Zhang An and the others couldn't help but lifted up their sleeves and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
Rong Chang settled down and said to Yan Li: "I have already explained to Master Zhang and the others that the emperor is fine, but they just refused to listen and tried everything possible to enter the palace to see the emperor. Master Guo was so anxious that he chopped him down with a knife. Several guards were injured, if the emperor hadn’t arrived in time, I’m afraid Mr. Guo would hurt me too?” Then, Rong Chang’an blinked at Guo Zhen, “Mr. Guo, I don’t think you would have this A thought that hurts me?"
Guo Zhen's tongue was tied, and the most thoughtful thing in his mind was that if Yan Li pursued it, he and Zhang An and Geng Di would be miserable.
"I...I..." Guo Zhen faltered, stealing glances at Zhang An and Geng Di from time to time to see what else they had in mind. Guo Zhen thinks that since it has been exposed anyway, it is better to kill Yan Li and Rong Changan together, and assist Zi Yan to be the queen regent.
But Geng Di and Zhang An are civil servants after all, their backs are sweating like rain, their legs are shaking, they don't know what to do, how dare they meet Guo Zhen's eyes!
Yan Li said in his usual cold and resounding voice: "Now that you have seen that I am safe, you can go back! Otherwise, what would the chaos in the palace look like? I understand your wishes! Another day, I will come again!" A banquet to thank you."
Geng Di asked in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, that assassin is really daring to come to the palace to assassinate you! Thanks to the protection of the emperor's gods and the burly body of the dragon, he did not get hurt. Your Majesty, please allow Master Zhang and I to escort you." Back to the bedroom!"
Rong Changan glanced at Geng Di and thought to himself: This Geng Di is so narrow-minded! He still didn't give up, thinking that Yan Li must have been fatally wounded, and wanted to come over to find out, so he said that he would escort Yan Li back to the palace.
Yan Li wanted to speak, but Rong Changan grabbed his hand. His hand was so cold, as if it had touched a piece of ice. It can be seen that Yan Li's body is so weak at this time, if he delays any longer, Zhang An, Geng Di and others will definitely see his weakness.
Yan Li had passed out before, and the guards in the palace were crying. The maids and eunuchs outside Yong'an Palace listened to the crying, and spread rumors that Yan Li had been stabbed to death. Rong Chang'an called the old doctor Li and Xu Feng to come over and deal with Yan Li urgently. Finally, he saved his life, but it is not advisable to work too much and move the wound, causing the bleeding to continue.
However, Zhang An and the others refused to leave. Yan Li was afraid that this would lead to a palace war, so he had to grit his teeth and ask the eunuch to order someone to carry him out of the gate of Yong'an Palace. On the surface he pretended that there was no serious problem, but in fact he was already extremely weak, even if he said a few more words, he felt that he had exhausted all his strength.
At this time, Rong Chang'an felt distressed and worried about Yan Li, but also hated Zhang An and Geng Di. But on the face, he was calm.
"The emperor has already said, let you leave the palace, you linger and don't want to leave, what are your plans? Could it be that the emperor ordered the big inner guards to escort you to leave?"
What Zhang An did today, Rong Changan can completely take down the three of them. But in front of them, they are numerous and powerful, and she only has more than a thousand guards, so they are not their opponents at all. Why don't you go with the flow, appease them, let them leave the palace, and protect Yan Li's safety. Let's talk about the future.
Geng Di lowered his head to look at Zhang An: "Master Zhang, I think the emperor has been seriously injured. Although his voice is clear, it is short and full of anger. If the emperor dies, we will not be around. Let Chang'an make up his own mind." The imperial decree, to designate myself as the new emperor, our nine clans will not protect."
Zhang An wiped his forehead, uneasy and hesitant.
"Master Zhang, there is no need to hesitate any longer! Now we have the advantage, if we don't take it, we will be blamed instead!"
Zhang An swallowed his saliva, and was about to open his mouth to give the order to march in. Suddenly, the flames behind them shot up into the sky, and the sky was covered with swords, guns, swords and halberds.
"What... what's the situation?" Zhang An asked Geng Di nervously.
Geng Di was also very horrified: "No... I don't know!"
