As Qianwu finished his words, the giant bronze door finally opened completely, and then, an extremely huge black shadow emerged from the giant bronze door.
"Crack!" There was a loud noise.
A huge footprint was immediately stepped on the ground of Jinluan Palace.
…
The night should be peaceful.
However, tonight is definitely not a peaceful night. The lights in Yanjing City are brightly lit, and countless people stop and watch on the streets.
In addition, there were countless sergeants wearing bright armor on the streets, each holding a spear in their hands and running quickly from everywhere towards the main entrance of the palace.
"What happened?"
"Why are all the city guards running towards the palace?"
"Did something big really happen in the palace?"
The people looked at all this and were talking a lot, with doubts and shock in their eyes.
All of this happened too suddenly. After a ray of light shone from the palace, the atmosphere in Yanjing City became inexplicably tense.
At the main entrance of the palace, two rows of Imperial Guardsmen in golden armor were waiting, looking coldly at the sergeants who were pouring out one by one.
"Bold, who dares to break into the palace!" Seeing the sergeants surrounding the main entrance of the palace, bright spears were also raised by the imperial guards and pointed straight ahead.
"This..." The city guards who were pouring in from all directions looked at this scene, and they all hesitated. No one dared to move forward.
After all, this is the land of the royal palace.
Even though they were under the order of King Duan, they still felt a little trembling in their hearts if they really had to go straight to the palace like this.
At this moment, a figure also appeared from a distance, stepping down from a tall white horse. The silver-white armor shone faintly under the moonlight, and a fierce beast with fangs was carved on it. chest.
"It's His Royal Highness Duan Wang!"
"Your Highness is here!"
When the city guards saw Duan Wang Lin Xinjue, they all took a few steps back to both sides to make way for a passage large enough for three people to pass at the same time.
Soon, Duan Wang Lin Xinjue also passed through the city guards and came to the front of the imperial guards.
The imperial guards looked at Duan Wang Lin Xinjue who appeared in front of them, their expressions also changed slightly, and they all subconsciously clenched the spears in their hands.
"His Royal Highness Duan Wang, what do you mean by this? This is the emperor..." A royal guard walked out of the crowd and stopped directly in front of Prince Duan Lin Xinjue.
But he didn't finish his words.
Because, a cold light lit up the moment he opened his mouth.
Then, he felt a slight chill on his neck. When he lowered his head, his eyes suddenly widened because he saw a sword.
A sword thrust into his throat.
"Woo, woo..." Yu Linjun's mouth opened wide. He wanted to make another sound, but blood poured out of his mouth, making it impossible for him to finish the next words.
"thump!"
The imperial guard fell to his knees directly, with disbelief written all over his face.
He couldn't figure it out anyway, why King Duan dared to attack him, and moreover, he spoke without hesitation, not even a word.
too suddenly.
From the moment Prince Duan Lin Xinjue took action to the fall of the Royal Guards, it only happened in an instant, so fast that the Royal Guards guarding the entrance to the palace could not react.
The city guards who followed Duan Wang Lin Xinjue all had their eyes widened, looking at the guard who fell on the ground in disbelief.
"His Royal Highness Duan Wang killed someone?!"
"Moreover, he killed the Imperial Forest Army!"
"How is this going?"
None of the city guards could understand what was happening. Although they obeyed the military orders, the scene before them was clearly a rebellion.
Could it be...
His Royal Highness Prince Duan is going to lead their city guards in rebellion
Against tens of thousands of imperial guards
How can this be
They couldn't believe what they were seeing, but they couldn't ask because they were just ordinary city guards who only had to obey military orders.
So, how could they dare to ask such a question
"Kill!" Duan Wang Lin Xinjue's voice finally rang out at this time, and at the same time, the sword stained with blood in his hand was raised high.
Drops of blood flowed from the blade and dripped onto his armor, making the silver-white armor dyed a little red.
The two rows of imperial guards guarding the entrance to the palace and the city guards standing behind Duan Wang Lin Xinjue finally reacted at this moment.
This is clearly a war.
A war that requires no nonsense at all.
When one of them was guarding the entrance of the palace and the other rushed to the entrance of the palace, it was already destined that there would be no need for any verbal communication.
Because they only need to do one thing.
That's killing!
"kill!"
"kill!"
Shouts of killing came from the mouths of the city guards. Then, spears were raised one by one, bright armors made a clashing sound, and the city guards finally moved.
Step by step, he walked towards the imperial guards guarding the entrance to the palace.
Duan Wang Lin Xinjue looked at the two rows of imperial guards at the entrance of the palace, whose expressions were obviously changed. His eyes were extremely cold, because he did not have time to waste at the entrance of the palace.
However…
At this moment, a voice sounded from behind him.
"Oh, His Highness Duan Wang killed someone! And... Wow, it was the Imperial Forest Army who was killed?! Could it be that His Highness Duan Wang was planning to rebel?"
"rebellion?!"
When the city guards who were about to take action heard this word, their bodies trembled subconsciously. Conspiracy of rebellion was a serious crime in the Great Xia Dynasty that would lead to the execution of all nine clans.
Even though they are following orders now.
But this does not mean that those who participated in the rebellion will have a good ending.
The Imperial Guards looked at the stopped City Guards, and the expressions on their faces were obviously relieved. However, the spears in their hands did not show any intention of relaxing.
Being prepared is the only thought in their minds now.
"Who dares to say that this king is plotting rebellion?" Prince Duan Lin Xinjue looked at the stopped city guards, frowned slightly, and turned back subconsciously.
Then, he saw three figures.
Three figures he was very familiar with.
However, what is different from usual is that the figure in the middle is wearing a brand new court dress, and on the court dress there is a word "imperial" rusted out with gold thread.
That is the court uniform worn by the governor of the Royal Academy.
"Fang Zhengzheng?!" Prince Duan Lin Xinjue gritted his teeth slightly. Looking at the court clothes worn by Fang Zhengzheng, an inexplicable impulse arose in his heart, the urge to take off the court clothes, or take advantage of this situation. The chaos killed the guy in front of him directly.
However, he knew he couldn't do this yet.
Because there is Pingyang and Yan Xiu beside Fang Zhengzheng, so how can he order Fang Zhengzheng to be killed now
"His Royal Highness Duan Wang, are you planning to rebel?" Fang Zheng looked at the imperial guard who fell on the ground, and then at the blood-stained sword in Duan Wang Lin Xinjue's hand. The expression on his face looked extremely shocked.
When Pingyang and Yan Xiu saw the imperial guards on the ground, they also looked at Duan Wang Lin Xinjue, their eyes full of questioning.
"Nonsense, how could this king rebel?" Prince Duan Lin Xinjue replied without thinking. Moreover, he always felt that the question asked by Fang Zhengzheng was a bit naive.
rebellion
Without telling the truth of the matter, even if he really has the intention to rebel, will I tell you immediately when you ask
"Then why did you kill the Royal Forest Army?" Fang Zhengzheng heard what Prince Duan Lin Xinjue said, but he didn't seem to believe it, and instead continued to ask.
"What does it have to do with you?" Duan Wang Lin Xinjue's tone was cold.
"As a competent courtier of the Great Xia Dynasty, I have the duty to stop and persuade His Highness not to rebel, isn't it?" Fang Zheng pointed at his court uniform with a stern expression of loyalty.
"Sixth brother, why did you kill the imperial guards? Moreover, you led the city guards to surround the palace? This is a crime of treason!" Pingyang also spoke at this time, with the same surprised expression on his face.
"Sister, don't listen to Fang Zhengzheng's nonsense. The guards guarding the palace in front of you are all fake. Brother Six led the city guards to surround the palace with the purpose of saving my father!" Prince Duan Lin Xinjue heard from Pingyang. If so, he finally bit it and replied.
"Fake?" Pingyang's expression was obviously stunned.
"His Royal Highness Duan Wang actually said that the Royal Forest Army was fake? I don't believe it. Does His Highness Duan Wang have any evidence?" Fang Zhengzheng also had a look of disbelief at this moment.
"I have no time to talk nonsense with you. Now I am going to rush into the palace to rescue my father. All the city guards will obey the order. Anyone who dares to stop..."
"Prince Duan has rebelled! Prince Duan has rebelled!"
Before Duan Wang Lin Xinjue could say what was behind him, Fang Zhengzheng's voice rang out again, and it was extremely loud.
This made Prince Duan Lin Xinjue swallow the words on his lips.
There was even a cold light shining in his eyes.
Looking at Fang Zhengyi, who was still shouting, the sword in his hand tightened again and again, and he wanted to just stab this guy who kept shouting to death with one sword.
"How dare you slander me for treason!" Duan Wang Lin Xinjue felt so hateful in his heart, but he really couldn't kill this guy at this time.
"Isn't it?" Fang Zhengzheng looked at the anger in Duan Wang Lin Xinjue's eyes, and turned back again with a questioning expression on his face.
Duan Wang Lin Xinjue now wants to curse.
But in the end, he endured it and looked at the two rows of imperial guards still guarding the main entrance of the palace, the light in his eyes flashing again and again.
He really didn't have time to delay at the entrance of the palace now.
Because tonight is his opportunity, an opportunity that cannot be given up no matter what. As long as he rushes into the palace now, no one will be able to shake his status in the court.
"Fang Zhengyi, I have already said that these people are fake!" Duan Wang Lin Xinjue's tone was extremely angry.
"How to prove it?" Fang Zhengzheng asked, blinking.
"I don't want to talk nonsense to you. If you don't believe me, just follow me into the palace and you will know!" Prince Duan Lin Xinjue was no longer too lazy to explain to Fang Zhengyi at this moment.
Of course, the most important thing is that he can't explain it at all.
How do you know these Royal Guards are fake? How to know that there is something strange in the palace? All of this cannot be explained in a short time.
"Okay, please kill His Highness Prince Duan!" Fang Zhengzheng nodded when he heard this, and then pointed at the two rows of imperial guards guarding the entrance to the palace.
The bodies of the two rows of Imperial Guards trembled. Looking at the fingers pointing at them, their expressions also changed, looking extremely strange.
"Please kill me?" Duan Wang Lin Xinjue listened to Fang Zhengzheng's words and was unable to react in his heart. After all, this feeling was really weird and extremely wrong.
Isn't this changing too fast
One moment, he was shouting loudly that His Highness Prince Duan wanted to rebel. The next moment, he heard himself saying that he wanted to take him into the palace, and immediately said, "Please kill him."
what the hell
Duan Wang Lin Xinjue had some doubts in his heart, but at this moment, he had no time to think about these problems, let alone linger at the gate of the palace.
"Kill!" Duan Wang Lin Xinjue pointed his sword.
The city guards heard Duan Wang Lin Xinjue's order again, and thought of Duan Wang Lin Xinjue's words just now, although they were somewhat unsure in their hearts.
However, no one disobeyed.
"kill!"
"kill!"
There were shouts of killing.
Then, countless city guards moved again, advancing neatly and quickly towards the imperial guards, piercing the front with their spears.
"kill!"
The Imperial Guards guarding the entrance to the palace looked at the City Guards who were getting closer and closer, and finally gritted their teeth and headed towards the City Guards.
A killing began.
Fang Zhengzheng, Ping Yang and Yan Xiu stood quietly on the side, looking at the two parties fighting at the entrance of the palace, like passers-by who happened to pass by.
"The Royal Forest Army has strong individual combat capabilities, but the City Guards cannot hold up against the large number of people. I think this fight will be over soon." Fang Zhengzheng commented on the outcome of the battle seriously.
"Well, I think so too, the princess." Pingyang heard Fang Zhengzhi's words and nodded in agreement.
"It should be over in half a stick of incense." Yan Xiu also nodded at this moment.
Duan Wang Lin Xinjue, who was riding a white horse and holding a long sword in his hand, listened to the comments coming from his ears, but the corner of his mouth twitched subconsciously.
The city guards and the imperial guards were fighting.
However, there were three "passers-by" watching the theater standing next to him.
Moreover, the faces of these three people still have expressions of being unconcerned. This feeling makes people extremely uncomfortable.
"No! Why did Fang Zhengzheng appear here? Is it a coincidence? Is it because he saw the light shining in the palace, so he came to see the show, or... has other motives?" Duan Wang Lin Xinjue's heart trembled violently, and he saw Looking at Fang Zhengzheng, who was still talking next to him, a cold light flashed in his eyes again. (To be continued.)
