Chapter 146 Seizing the Palace
On the day of Beginning of Summer, Emperor Taichu, Li Boqian, went to the morning court, reviewed memorials, hung out with Concubine Zao, and enjoyed the fragrance of immortals as usual. Although Taichu was at war with Dongxia, it had no influence on this great emperor. Li Boqian did not notice it. , a drastic change is about to take place.
It was approaching midnight. Due to the curfew, the streets of Kaiyuan City were very quiet. Only some soldiers on night watch passed by occasionally. A watchman was walking on the street with a lantern and a wooden box. He walked to the door of a huge courtyard. He immediately looked panicked.
This is nowhere else. It is the famous Qingyan Hall in Taichu Dynasty. It is the residence of Qinghe masters. Those Qinghe masters enjoy many privileges in Taichu territory. Because of their tyrannical strength and unpredictable methods, ordinary people keep away from them. , for fear of provoking these evil stars.
When the watchman walked past the door of Qingyan Hall, he quickened his pace, wanting to leave here quickly, but contrary to expectations, the door of Qingyan Hall suddenly opened, and people began to rush out from it. These Qinghe people were all wearing armor. , holding weapons and looking menacing.
In order to avoid trouble, the watchman ran away, but the masters of Qingyantang didn't seem to be ready to let him go, and someone immediately chased him.
He looked back in panic and saw that he was about to be overtaken. Since he couldn't escape, he simply stopped running and knelt down and kowtowed to the person who was overtaking him.
"Sir, little one..." Before he could finish his begging for mercy, Qinghe who was chasing him slashed his neck with a knife. Blood spurted out. The watchman looked in disbelief. He never expected that he was just passing by. It will lead to death.
About five thousand Qing and soldiers came out of Qingyan Hall. They rushed towards the palace without stopping. Anyone they met on the way would be mercilessly killed by them without hesitation.
When the Qingyantang masters went south to attack Dongxia, the Qingyantang was able to hide so many Qinghe soldiers. This was not unrelated to the privileges of the Qingyantang.
The leader of these Seiwa people is naturally Tianshou Kishiro Taku, and there are many masters and masters around him, including the god master Fuyulinga who has the shikigami Somei and the girl who has the weird puppet shikigami. Doudou, these are two Yasheng masters.
On the left side of Kishiro Taku also looks like a general. This man is about forty years old. He is tall and strong, much taller than the average Qinghe warrior. He is holding a huge pheasant sword in his hand, and he is holding a huge pheasant knife in his hand. Every moment is filled with a sense of power.
He was the only general among the four generals under General Tian who followed Mu Chengtuo. The other three each led 100,000 Qinghe troops to the northern, western and southern fronts of the Taichu Dynasty respectively.
This local general is named Nanzhe Muye, and his strength has also reached the level of a master. He is upright and brave, but not good at strategy. He is not suitable as a commander, but he is more than enough as a vanguard general.
Therefore, Nan Zhe Mu also stayed with Mucheng Tuo for a long time as the commander of Tian General's bodyguard. At this time, Nan Zhe Mu also asked Mucheng Tuo with a puzzled look: "Master Tian General, if the target is only the Taichu Emperor, it will be useless." What's the point of using so much effort to bring these five thousand soldiers?"
Kucheng Tuo was a little helpless towards the guard commander who was not very bright, but he still explained to Nanzhe Muya impatiently: "Muye, our target is not just Emperor Taichu, of course Emperor Taichu is the most important The goal is, but what we want is the entire Kaiyuan City including the imperial palace!"
Nan Zhemu also scratched his head and became more confused. He said, "What are you doing with this isolated city? Besides, isn't it too much of a joke for five thousand people to occupy a city?"
Mu Chengtuo smiled mysteriously and said: "General, I have my own means. Everything in this city is under my control. After taking down the emperor and Kaiyuan City, we can control the emperor to issue orders to the entire Yingzhou. Then everything will be It’s all simple.”
Kucheng Taku turned to look at Nanzhe Muya. Nanzhe Muya obviously didn't quite understand what he said and was racking his brains to think about it. But looking at him like that, he might not be able to figure out the reason for a while.
In the emperor's palace, Emperor Taichu Li Boqian had fallen into a deep sleep after the clouds and rain. Today, under Zao Ji's deliberate control, Li Boqian only persisted for a moment before removing his armor. Li Boqian only thought that he was too tired these past two days and did not go there. Go to your heart.
Zao Ji did not sleep. Nine tail rings emerged from her body and tightly surrounded Li Boqian, ready to take action at any time.
A large number of Qinghe troops appeared outside the Yingtian Gate of Taichu Palace. With the help of many powerful shikigami, the Qinghe people quickly opened the Yingtian Gate and entered the palace.
The Yulin Army of the Imperial Palace reacted quickly and immediately started to resist and fought with the Qinghe Army. However, the Qinghe Army had the advantage in numbers, and there were many masters and masters to help. They quickly broke through the Yulin Army's obstruction, and the Qinghe people continued to move forward. Advancing, the Habayashi Army suffered heavy casualties.
As the commander-in-chief of the Yulin Army, Jin Xinglan came to the door of the emperor's palace. He knelt in front of the door and said: "Your Majesty, the Qinghe people are attacking the palace. Qinghe has betrayed the alliance. The imperial concubine is a Qinghe woman. Please make peace with the imperial concubine first." The queen and the queen should separate to avoid any complications."
Jin Xinglan's tone was very respectful, but what he meant was not very pleasant. He obviously wanted to arrest Zao Ji.
Li Boqian's slightly angry voice came from the palace: "What does Qinghe's betrayal of alliance have to do with the imperial concubine? As long as Commander Jin tries his best to retreat from the enemy, can I still be hurt by a mere weak woman?"
Although Li Boqian was awakened, Zaoji had already controlled him with nine tails. He could not move or make any sound at this time. The sound just now came from Zaoji's mouth. I don't know what method Zaoji used to learn from it. Li Boqian's voice was flawless.
Naturally, Jin Xinglan had no choice but to arrange for the Yulin Army to protect the Emperor's Palace. If the Yulin Army found any abnormality and allowed them to rush into the Emperor's Palace, Jin Xinglan would bear the consequences alone.
Jin Xinglan was confused and felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't remember it for the moment.
It was difficult for the soldiers of the Yulin Army to stop the Qinghe Army, which had a large number of powerful masters. The Qinghe people quickly broke into the last palace before the emperor's palace - Lanchi Palace.
Kishiro Taku, who was wearing gorgeous Qinghe armor, took the lead and rushed to the front of the crowd. He held a strange weapon that looked like a sword but not a sword, and kept slashing at the Habayashi Army soldiers who were blocking the front.
When Mucheng Tuoxing arrived in front of the main hall of Lanchi Hall, a sudden change occurred. Several sword energies broke the doors and windows from Lanchi Hall and went straight to Mucheng Tuoxing.
Kucheng Tuo had obviously expected the Taichu masters who were ambushing here. He was not surprised at all. He waved his weapons to resist, and at the same time calmly shouted: "Donglin, Doudou, come here and help."
The sword light dissipated, and eight swordsmen stood in the Lanchi Palace holding swords. Each of them had a master level cultivation. This was a very terrifying force. Taichu was a dynasty that lasted for hundreds of years, which shows its profound heritage.
Seeing that the blow was not successful, these master swordsmen immediately surrounded and suppressed Muchengtuo. The sword energy filled the entire courtyard of Lanchi Palace. The weapon in Muchengtuo's hand shone brightly and tried his best to block the sword energy. Even as a master of Yasheng, he was defeated.
The siege by eight masters is also full of dangers.
However, this situation did not last long. An arrogant young man rushed to Kucheng Tuo with an electric spear and blocked many attacks for him. Then a sweet girl's voice came from behind him: "Little Tuo Tuo, sister, come here
Help you!"
Kucheng Taku rolled his eyes, looking helpless.
Doudou followed Kucheng Taku all the way, but she never made a move. When Kucheng Taku called her, she rushed forward and called out her shikigami horror puppet.
Doudou looked excited when he saw the scene of swords flying wildly and said: "What a beautiful sword light, it looks like Xiao Lanlan's sword moves. If I had known there were so many interesting people in the palace, I should have brought Xiao Wei with me."
It’s just for fun, there’s no point in just playing with Xiao Lanlan.”
"Little Bibei, it's our turn, let's go! The Bibei is flying all over the sky!" Doudou threw the Bibei at Mucheng Tuo, Shikigami Suming and eight Taichu swordsmen who were fighting fiercely, and then shouted loudly:
"Little Horebei, be careful, hit those with swords, don't hit little Tuotuo and Xiao Mingming!"
The scary puppets began to clone quickly, and the scary puppets were flying all over the sky. They quickly rushed towards the swordsmen.
As expected, I was obedient and did not attack Kucheng Taku and Shikigami Suming.
It was just the name Doudou that made Kucheng Taku shudder. He said with an embarrassed look: "Doudou, can we change the name? You call me that, which makes me lose face..."
Doudou made a face at Muchengtuo and said, "I don't want it! If you don't let me call you, I won't play with you anymore!"
Muchengtuo was shocked when he heard this, and his tone became a little softer and he said: "Auntie, you can call me whatever you like."
If he doesn't agree to her, Doudou will really get angry and may surrender to the enemy, but Taku Kucheng can't afford to offend this little girl with a special status.
Doudou then smiled with satisfaction and said: "You are so good, let me help you beat them up!"
Shikigami Suming's master, Dong Linhe, watched from behind the crowd as Mucheng Tuo collapsed, and thought to himself: "I escaped a disaster. Fortunately, it was Suming who called me and not me..."
Under the command of Doudou, the terrifying puppets showed great power, and countless terrifying puppets launched an offensive around the eight swordsmen. Under the interference of the puppets, Kucheng Taku and Shikigami Suming began to gain the upper hand.
Nanzhe Mu also dealt with the imperial palace Yulin army that was constantly coming, and entered the Lanchi Palace with the two Grand Master Yu Shenshi. The situation became increasingly unfavorable for the Taichu swordsmen.
Kucheng Tuo smiled proudly and said: "Come together and kill them all!"
"Shikigami: Lord of the Mountains!"
"Shikigami: Shika Suzu!"
Nanzhe Muya and the two shikigami also rushed towards the eight swordsmen.
The shikigami named Lord of the Mountain is covered by a set of stone armor. His skin is jet black, and he has a pair of long sharp horns in his short white hair. Three divine swords surround him. He is smaller than Suming in stature and has an imposing manner.
It's also a bit weaker than Suming.
The shikigami called Shika Suzu is a female figure. She is handsome, with two antlers, long black hair, and a slender figure. The pure yukata she wears does not completely cover her proud breasts.
She wears bells on her hands and feet, and every move she makes makes a clear ringing sound. She holds a huge long bow in her hand. The long bow has a strange shape, and the bow body is like a scimitar.
She didn't carry any arrows with her, so she didn't know how to launch an offensive with this weird long bow.
The movements of the two shikigami were faster than those of the Nanzhe Mu, and they took the lead in launching the offensive.
The master of the mountain lord shouted: "Move the mountain!"
The Lord of the Mountain received the order, reached out and grabbed a floating divine sword, and slashed into the void in the direction of the Taichu Swordsman. An illusory hill appeared out of thin air, and the hill gradually turned from virtual to real, and smashed towards the Taichu Swordsman.
Luling's divine master was also a woman. However, the divine master did not move at all at this time. The whole person was shrouded in a red light beam. The divine master closed his eyes tightly and floated in the air. He had obviously used the teleportation method.
The art of spirit.
Lu Ling's expression became vivid, and she yelled: "Shadow-Chasing Light!"
Her delicate hands actually grasped the hilt of the scimitar bow. Fortunately, Lu Ling was a spirit body. If it were a physical body, her skin and flesh would inevitably be torn apart in such a move.
Lu Ling pulled the bowstring back with her other hand, and a red light appeared out of thin air and turned into an arrow. She suddenly let go of the hand holding the bowstring, and the red light shot through the air and pointed directly at Taichu Swordsman.
The eight master swordsmen who were already fighting hard against the three Yasheng masters had no energy left to withstand the sharp attacks of these two shikigami. The danger was about to come.
At this critical moment, a voice sounded from behind Lanchi Palace: "Go to Chaotian Palace!"
A dazzling sword soared into the sky and pierced the hill that the Lord of the Mountain had transformed into at an extremely fast speed. The hill was directly struck into countless pieces by the sword and disappeared into the air.
After shattering the hill, the sword did not stop and rushed towards the red light emitted by the deer bell again. When the two came into contact, the red light collapsed at the first touch. After the sword easily blocked the attacks of the two shikigami, a figure appeared above the Orchid Pond Hall.
.
The man made a sword secret with his hand, stretched out two fingers and made a slight move, and the sword immediately flew back to his hand.
