As the saying goes, people become better with age. When Sun Simiao saw that Zong Chuke suddenly had a jade pendant on his waist, he naturally knew what was going on. What's more, Zong Chuke was able to follow here quietly and calmly, which also shows that Zong Chuke intends to join the prince's family.
"Sun Shenxian, Chu Ke won't see you off anymore. His Royal Highness is here. As a minister, I don't care about our friendship with you at this time." Although Zong Chu Ke was talking to Sun Simiao, he was looking at Li Hong. Back view.
"Okay, the old man will leave first. Prince, please be careful." Sun Simiao smiled, and then slowly walked back under the guidance of Fang Zhan and Heng Qiao.
Lawless, Jingzhe, Xiaoxue, and Zong Chuke, Li Hong led the five people into the small hole.
When Cheetah goes to mobilize his troops, he will naturally use Fang Zhan and Heng Qiao, who have already surveyed the terrain, so it doesn't matter if he has two of them more or less than two of them.
The six people slowly entered from the back side of Cuiwei Palace. There was no one guarding the place all year round. Occasionally, people came to clean it. Now when no one from the royal family comes, it naturally looks a bit desolate.
Hanfeng Hall is the main hall of the emperor's dormitory. Li Hong and the others bypassed several lax guards on the periphery and lay down blatantly on the railing behind Cuiwei Hall. From top to bottom, they could clearly see the Hanfeng Hall. There were many figures, and from time to time there were sounds of singing, dancing, laughing and screaming.
Li Hong had a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth. After arriving here, his mood calmed down, and he looked at everything in the palace with a calm expression on his face.
"Who? How dare you break into the forbidden royal area!" The three guard soldiers didn't expect someone to be so bold as to dare to lie on the railing of Cuiwei Hall. They looked quite leisurely.
"Keep him alive and bring one over for questioning." Li Hong said lightly, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent!
Now, he has settled this debt not only to Weiwei Temple, but also to the Shaofu Superintendent and so on. None of them can escape Li Hong's questioning. But these soldiers are not guilty. They may not know who they are guarding.
The two Lawless people left in response. Before the three of them could get closer, they stepped in front of the three of them like ghosts. Their arms were like ghosts, leaving only an afterimage in front of the three of them. Two of them were beaten by Lawless with his hands. He cut into the neck and fainted immediately.
The other man took the horizontal knife from his hand and put it on his neck. His face was pale and he was pushed towards Li Hong by Wutian.
"Are you soldiers from Weiwei Temple?" Li Hong asked calmly while sitting on the railing.
"Who are you? Do you know that this is a royal place! How dare you break in randomly! Do you know that this is a capital crime!" With a knife held on his neck, although his face was pale and his legs were trembling, the soldier still had to bite the bullet and cut himself off. He said his duties conscientiously and faithfully.
"Search the token on your body to see if it's someone from Weiwei Temple." Li Hong ignored him and signaled to Jingzhe.
Jingzhe rummaged around for a while, then found the token in his hand, took a look at it and said, "Master, he is a soldier of the prison guard."
"Prison guard? The handle can be moved, right?" Li Hong thought for a while and asked.
"Yes, Master. The prison guards have always been active only in Chang'an and Luoyang. The Ministry of War can mobilize them directly." Jingzhe continued to reply.
"Do you know who you are guarding?" Li Hong asked the soldier again.
"I don't know. I won't tell you even if I know!" The soldier said confidently, but his face became even paler. He was a little afraid that his words would anger the young man. What if he killed him in anger? manage!
But it was his duty to fight back honestly and confidently.
Li Hong waved to Xiaoxue, and Xiaoxue took out a token and threw it to the soldier: "Reply after you see it clearly."
"Ah...? Your Highness the Crown Prince? I don't know..."
"Forget it, just tell me who sent you..."
Before Li Hong finished speaking, he was interrupted by the voice coming from Hanfeng Palace behind him: "Who are you? Do you know that this is an important royal place? Come on, pull those people down."
Li Hong turned his head and glanced at the person behind him. At this moment, the sound of an arrow suddenly appeared in the sky, with a long fireworks tail in the daytime.
"Let's go down, Cheetah and the others are almost here. Let's go see what these idiots are doing." Li Hong jumped down from the railing and walked slowly down the steps.
The soldier was naturally knocked unconscious by Wutian. Wenfa and Wutian each held an unsheathed sword in their hands and walked in front of Li Hong on the left and right sides, with Xiaoxue and Jingzhe behind them.
Zong Chuke, a scholar, looked at the situation and knew that it would definitely not be a chatting, laughing, and asking for help.
Seeing the prince leading a few people down, he hurriedly ran to another soldier who had fainted, pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist, and ran quickly to Li Hong, holding the knife in both hands, staring fiercely ahead, with a look on his face. His life and death were ignored.
In the empty square between the Hanfeng Hall and the Cuiwei Hall, Li Hong and his group of six people walked slowly, looking so small and powerless in the large square.
A burst of neat and rapid footsteps sounded from both sides of Hanfeng Hall. A hundred or so prison guards stood on both sides of Hanfeng Hall, with swords unsheathed on their waists, watching the six people under the steps walking towards this side with vigilance. Come.
After Helan Minzhi heard the footsteps, he was stunned and asked: "What's going on? What are they doing at the door? Can't we just let them block the door?"
The Minister of the Ministry of War held a naked bearded girl in his arms and said with a smile: "Don't you know it by looking at it? Now in Cuiwei Palace, who dares to touch your misfortune on Mr. Helan? No matter who he is, tie him up first. , just in time to join in the fun for us!"
"Shilang Ning is right. There are songs, dances, women, and wine here. It just lacks a little of what Shilang Ning said. Let's go out and have a look?" Xiao Shougui also had a dancing girl in his arms. He placed one hand between the woman's legs. He said cheerfully.
A hint of coquettishness flashed across Helan Minzhi's handsome face, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Since everyone has such elegant ideas, if Helan doesn't follow, wouldn't it ruin everyone's interest? Let's go and have a look! "
So, everyone gathered together, headed by He Lan Minzhi, including the Japanese envoys, and slowly walked to the gate with the beautiful woman in their arms.
Through the steps at the entrance of the main hall, several people stood side by side, looking at the small people under the steps.
I saw six people walking forward slowly at the bottom of the steps. Li Hong was in the center, and there were two men holding horizontal knives on each side in front of them. He Lan Minzhi thought they looked familiar.
He naturally knew Jingzhe and Xiaoxue. These were the people in front of the prince. Behind them, there was actually a middle-aged man in his fifties, holding a horizontal knife in his hand and looking around.
"What's going on? Why is it him?" He Lan Minzhi's handsome face suddenly turned pale. The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, without attracting his attention.
"Ah? It's the prince, this..." Ning Daoming looked at Li Hong's figure, and his legs began to tremble.
Xiao Shoudao and Xiao Shougui looked ashen. At this moment, they seemed to have seen their own fate, which was just one word: death!
The beauties in their arms looked at the few people with some confusion. Their expressions, which were originally chatting and laughing, and calm and composed, changed in the blink of an eye to the sparse few people at the bottom of the steps, as if they had encountered monsters and monsters. Similar.
"He... Mr. Helan... how... how could it be His Highness the Crown Prince?" Ning Daoming escaped death last time, and when he was met by the Crown Prince again this time, he knew that he would probably die!
"Who leaked the news? How could he come?" Helan Minzhi also looked pale and had a gloomy expression. He didn't know whether he was answering Ning Daoming's words or Liushenwuzhu talking to himself.
The murderous look on Li Hong's face became stronger and stronger. He saw that several people were hugging foreign women. All of them were disheveled and their faces were red. It seemed that they were drinking and having fun in the Hanfeng Palace where the emperor's grandfather died!
"Stop! If you dare to move forward, you will be killed without mercy!" General Zuo, who was guarding the gate, glanced at Li Hong and others who were still walking forward. Without waiting for Ning Daoming to say anything, he waved his hands and rushed down with the soldiers on the left and right.
"Kill without mercy." Li Hong said calmly without raising his eyelids.
The voice was very soft, but it was not far away from He Lan Minzhi and others, so it easily reached the ears of the people who were still in a daze.
Welfare, Wutian and Jingzhe were well prepared. Before Li Hong could finish his words, the three of them had already rushed over.
Suddenly, General Zuo, the prison guard who rushed down the steps, was killed by Wu Wenli who was the first to arrive!
The head was flying high in the air, and a stream of blood spurted out from the neck of the slowly falling body, hitting the faces and bodies of He Lan Minzhi and others.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty is here, the guards at the prison gate are not retreating yet!" Zong Chuke looked at the soldiers rushing down, suddenly held a horizontal knife to protect Li Hong, and shouted loudly!
Although his legs were trembling, he still tried hard to calm down his voice, his throat was a little dry, and he said loudly with difficulty: "Don't you want to rebel? This is the royal palace. Are you protecting the royal family or the officers behind you? ? Are you going to have your house confiscated along with your chief? Let me see who dares to come forward!"
Zong Chuke waved the horizontal sword in his hand and saw a soldier running towards him. He raised the horizontal sword with both hands and was about to rush over. But as soon as he took two steps, there was a sound of breaking through the air in his ears. He saw that the soldier was covered by a knife between his eyebrows. A short arrow hit him and he immediately fell to the ground.
Li Hong raised his crossbow and shot another soldier who rushed forward, then sneered and slowly moved forward, with a calm gait and a calm expression.
Each step was trampled under his feet. The soldiers around him just surrounded him, and no one dared to take another step forward.
He wanted to see who among the people above him who dared to kill him now, especially Helan Minzhi, could save him this time!
"Stop!" He Lan Minzhi seemed to have just come back to his senses, his handsome face was covered with blood, and he was blooming with a coquettish look. He looked at Li Hong approaching step by step with a crossbow in his hand, and suddenly shouted.
