Chapter 68 Palace Gate(1/3)
Fell?
The sturdy young man blocking the city gate actually fell?
Qin Hu felt that his mind went blank for an instant, and everything seemed to have come to a standstill.
But the people around him did not stop because of this. The moment Zhou Hui fell, the patrolmen around Qin Hu swarmed up, trying to take advantage of the trap to enter the city gate. Zhou Hui, who fell on the ground, was also captured by the King of Jin'an County.
The people over there pulled them in, and at the same time, the bodies of the two followers who fell first were pushed over, the city gate was held up, and the two crossbows were aimed at the people who were rushing towards them.
A barrage of arrows flew in, many patrolmen fell down, and the troops surging forward suddenly began to retreat again.
"Son."
Qin Hu was still standing dumbly, and was pulled back by his followers to avoid the arrows shot by the Jin'an County King's men.
This tugging and staggering made Qin Hu come back to his senses, and the noise around him surged.
"Sir, those people are coming."
"Sir, the reinforcements from Fu Yin have arrived."
Qin Hu could hear the shouts and voices, and he kept looking at the city gate.
On the other side of the city gate, King Jin'an's people did not take the opportunity to open the city gate wide because of their retreat. Instead, they still used two corpses, one on the left and one on the right, to support the city gate, leaving a gap for the two people to stand, and they took turns to place them.
Set up a two-man crossbow formation to prevent the people here from approaching.
With the help coming from inside the city, the defense at the city gate became slightly chaotic.
"Walk."
Prince Jin'an said.
He had already mounted the horse, and Zhou Hui was also firmly supported on the horse. The two cloaks avoided the long arrows on his chest and tied him tightly in front of the King of Jin'an County of Jin'an.
"Your Highness, it is better to wait for the reinforcements from outside the city to arrive before entering the city." Mr. Gu said.
Although some help came from the city, for the huge capital city full of patrols and patrols, breaking in was like a mud cow entering the sea.
"I don't want to wait any longer." Prince Jin'an said.
"Then let others help him." Mr. Gu said anxiously.
"I can't draw a bow and arrow now, and I can't swing a heavy sword. It's best to protect him, so don't occupy other people's hands." Prince Jin'an said, looking at Eunuch Jing who was also on his horse, "Let's go."
Hearing this, Eunuch Jing responded, drew his saber, and urged his horse to leap forward.
The two people at the city gate got out of the way at the same time. After Jinggong jumped out, they also got on their horses and followed the Jin'an County Prince out, guarding the Jin'an County Prince from the front and left, and ran straight into the city.
The melee in front of the city gate became even more chaotic.
Seeing the descendants who were originally hiding at the city gate running out, the leader waved his sword in a series of cold lights, and the defenders who met him fell to the ground. They were shocked and collapsed.
"Young Master." He personally held down Qin Hu, and both of them ducked to avoid a sweeping sword light.
The men and horses crossed over, mixed with the helpers who came, and suddenly gathered into a more ferocious group, rolling towards the city.
"They're in!"
There was a shout in my ears.
He passed.
Qin Hu held a bow and arrow in his hand and looked at it.
He saw Zhou Hui on the horse.
He passed...
It was too fast, and it was blocked by others and could not be seen clearly.
I can't see him clearly...
He...how is he...
Zhou Hui!
"Master?"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Qin Hu running away beside him, and then turned around to see Qin Hu getting on his horse and chasing after him into the city.
"Chase! Chase quickly!"
The personal attendant reacted and directed everyone to shout.
……………………………………………………
"Over there!"
Compared to the hustle and bustle outside, the palace was quite quiet, except for the occasional noise caused by a certain place.
Bright torches illuminated the surroundings of the palace, and groups of imperial soldiers with swords, guns, and crossbows poured in.
Everywhere he went there was no one.
"Where is it?"
"Obviously I just saw it."
"What a hell."
Everyone looked at each other, unable to hide their frustration.
Such a big living person, and a woman who had never been to the palace a few times, was able to escape the search of the guards who had been on duty in the palace for many years.
In order to strictly guard against assassins, there are no tall trees or rocks in the palace. Where can she hide?
It's really strange.
"Search again!" the leader of the forbidden army shouted, "unless she gets wings and flies out of the palace!"
The night inside the palace is darker than other places.
A figure flashed past in the night, then quickly returned.
Cheng Jiaoniang stood still, raised her hands to calculate the moment, and then looked up at the sky. The stars in the sky had faded and it was almost dawn.
Heaven and earth are just a feng shui array.
Mountains and rivers have their own directions, and human settlements have their own destiny.
The imperial palace is a place where Feng Shui is a masterpiece. Feng Shui has eyes, and the eyes are springs of life.
With thoughts in her mind, this action was completed in the blink of an eye, and then she raised her feet and ran in one direction.
The footsteps behind me were noisy, and the torches were brighter.
"...Nothing again!"
“…Look and look again!”
……………………………………………………
A group of forbidden troops rushed past outside the imperial city wall and spread out along the way. From a distance, it looked like they were coming and going in the same direction. It was obvious that the entire imperial city had been surrounded.
After listening to a subordinate's report, the Yin Zheng of the Jingzhao Mansion in front of Xuande Gate immediately turned around and walked quickly to the ministers gathered in the square.
"Master Qin." He shouted.
Minister Qin looked over from among several ministers.
"The imperial city has been surrounded." Fu Yin said, nodding to other ministers.
Fu Yin's status was not lower than that of Qin Shishang, but he was the first to greet him, and everyone present knew the meaning.
Fu Yin, who was once a member of Gao Lingbo's faction, has now become one of Qin Shidao's own.
I don’t know how Qin Shishuo persuaded him. The defense in the capital is controlled by two departments, one is the Imperial City Division and the other is Jing Zhaoyin. Originally, these two were in the hands of Gao Lingbo, so he acted unscrupulously. Now he has taken over
One makes today's events less dangerous.
Only these people have the confidence to risk their lives and come here at night.
"Thanks to Mr. Qin for deploying the defense in time." Several courtiers said one after another.
Minister Qin shook his head.
"There's nothing to be thankful for in this kind of thing." He sighed.
Fu Yin also sighed hurriedly. After all, he was once the person of Gao Lingbo, and he didn't have the guts to wait for everyone to compliment him.
"But in the end, we let the thief succeed." He said, unable to help but choke, "His Royal Highness doesn't know..."
As soon as this statement came out, the expressions of the people present became complicated.
"The Queen."
Qin Shizhong walked to the other side. The queen was sitting on the floor, no longer caring about her image, and she had no image. The queen's dress was also burned by the fire, her hair was messed up, and the remaining maids around her were injured.
I can't move it and I can't tidy it up for her.
Originally, Zhang Chun and others advised the Queen to go to the nearest government office to rest, but the Queen flatly refused.
"The Queen Mother, Emperor and Prince are in the hands of thieves, how can I rest?"
