In the lecture hall, apart from the panicked women, the middle-aged monk who was silently chanting sutras, and two shivering little novices, there were only the cushions.
Using a futon as a weapon
That's a joke. It can't hurt anyone, it can only raise a cloud of dust.
Gray can be charming, this futon can be used!
Jiang Changning grabbed the futon, and Princess De blinked, "Ningning, what are you going to do?" Are you going to hit someone with the futon? But it won't hurt anyone.
Jiang Changning didn't answer her question. He took a few steps forward and threw the mat towards the man in black.
Princess De was stunned. She really used a futon to hit someone!
Jiang Changning had sharp eyesight, and the cushion flew towards the black-clothed man's face.
The man in black swung his sword and cut the mat in half.
The futon is made of cattail and is quite sturdy, but the futon is placed on the ground for people to sit on. Even if the monks in the temple clean it very cleanly, there is still dust inside.
The grass dust rose up, causing the man in black to squint subconsciously.
Now is the time!
Xiaochun seized the opportunity and snatched the knife from the man in black with his bare hands.
"Okay!" Zeng Zhaofu is the daughter of a military general. She has been eager to take action, but was pulled by Wen Bingqing and could only watch the fight from the side.
"The futon works!" Princess De was very surprised. She also picked up a futon and threw it at the other man in black.
However, her eyesight was obviously not as good as Jiang Changning's, and she threw the sword off target, hitting Ban Qin, who was almost hit by the knife.
"Don't make trouble." The Changshan Prince's wife grabbed the De Princess and said, "Let Ningning come."
"I may not be able to do it either." Jiang Changning didn't dare to guarantee the hit rate. The previous one was just a fluke.
Fortunately, although the futon she threw did not hit the man in black again, Xiaochun already had a knife in her hand. She could fight with the man with the knife, so the man in black with bare hands was left to Banqin and the others.
Seeing Xiaochun and the others gaining the upper hand, Prince Qing's wife was extremely angry, "Waste, all waste!"
Prince Qing did not arrange too many people at Huangjue Temple. It only took two weak women who were powerless to be captured, so too many people were not needed.
I thought it would be an easy task, but it turned out to be so difficult.
The Queen Mother did not bring many guards with her, but the Prince of Jin and the Prince of De arranged enough people, and the two princesses were also accompanied by maids who knew martial arts.
The Princess of Prince Qing rolled her eyes and whispered, "Let's go."
Since she couldn't catch Princess Jin and Princess De, she had to leave and not let them catch her.
But just as she was about to slip away, the Queen Mother stopped her, "Want to leave?"
"Your Majesty, why do you have to make things difficult for me? I'm just following your orders." said the Crown Prince's wife of Prince Qing.
"Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back." The Queen Mother said calmly.
The Crown Prince's wife was silent for a moment, then said, "Do you think that only the Crown Prince has this ambition?"
"Not only that, but also Prince Jin." The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Changning who was well protected, "But Prince Jin would not have taken action unless Prince Qing took action. The culprit is Prince Qing."
The Crown Princess of Prince Qing sneered, "Prince Jin is cunning."
"If your plan is not as good as others, you have to admit defeat." The Queen Mother sneered.
"Are you willing to let Prince Jin take that position?" asked Prince Qing's wife with a frown.
"It's better than letting Prince Qing take the throne." The Queen Mother has figured out that a change of dynasty is inevitable, so for the sake of her future life, she must take side.
"Praying for blessings is really just a cover." The Crown Princess of Prince Qing said sarcastically.
The Queen Mother said unhappily, "Do you think everyone is Prince Qing?"
When she came, she sincerely wanted to ask the Buddha to wake the emperor up.
But unexpectedly, the prayer for blessings was a trick by Prince Qing and the Empress Dowager to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
The Queen Mother's expectation was correct. At that time, there was a sound of killing in the palace.
When Prince Qing and his men rushed in, the little emperor suddenly woke up. Before the eunuchs had time to greet him, Prince Qing rushed in with a knife in his hand.
The eunuch asked in horror: "Prince Qing, what are you going to do?"
Prince Qing killed the eunuch who was blocking his way with one blow. The strong smell of blood made the little emperor realize something. "Prince Qing, are you going to rebel?"
"How can a young boy hold a high position?" Prince Qing had long been unwilling to submit to a child. If Prince Jin had not interfered, he would have rebelled and proclaimed himself emperor long ago.
"You really have evil intentions." The little emperor said hatefully.
"If you write the edict of abdication and hand over the imperial seal, I can spare your life and make you Marquis of Anle." Prince Qing said magnanimously.
Even though he was plotting to usurp the throne, Prince Qing still wanted a good reputation.
"Don't even think about it. I will never let a traitor like you get your wish." The little emperor tried hard to maintain his pride as an emperor.
The cold, bloody knife was placed on the little emperor's neck. "Do you want to die?"
The little emperor couldn't keep calm, and a look of fear appeared on his face. "You"
No one wants to die, including the little emperor. He was about to surrender when Prince Jin came in and said, "Prince Qing, you are so bold that you want to kill the emperor!"
"Prince Jin." The little emperor looked delighted.
"Helian Yu, stop pretending. You appear here at this time. Don't you want to sit in that position just like me?" Prince Qing said sarcastically.
"I am not you, please do not slander me." The King of Jin bowed, "Your Majesty, I am late in coming to your rescue, please forgive me."
"You are innocent." The little emperor said in a trembling voice.
"Helian Yu, at this time, you still want to pretend to be a loyal minister. Fine, I'll give you a chance. You either surrender or I will kill this kid." Prince Qing threatened.
"If I surrender, not only will I fail to save Your Majesty, but I will also lose my own life." Prince Jin said calmly.
Prince Qing raised his eyebrows, "I can't pretend anymore."
"After you kill the king, I will avenge your majesty."
When the little emperor heard this, his face turned pale. He finally understood that Prince Jin was just like Prince Qing in that they both wanted to usurp the throne. They were birds of a feather.
Prince Qing pushed the useless little emperor away and slashed at Prince Jin with his knife.
“Dang” King Jin raised his sword to block, “Uncle Wang is really well hidden!”
Prince Qing has always considered himself a scholar, but as soon as he made a move, Prince Jin could tell that he was also skilled in martial arts.
"Don't you have any too?" Prince Qing chopped fiercely with his sword.
Prince Jin took a wrong step and avoided the knife that Prince Qing was about to chop at him.
Their men also fought each other.
At this time, a tall man came running in from outside, the knife in his hand was still dripping with blood, "Your Majesty, I am here."
The little emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. The two people in the hall were princes. Whose subordinate could this person be
The two equally powerful factions will be determined by the joining of this person.
The tall man swept his sword towards Prince Qing. The little emperor's eyes flashed. It seemed that Prince Jin would win the battle for the throne!
Prince Jin did not join the tall man in besieging Prince Qing. He took a step back and watched the battle from the side.
