Chapter 17 Death Battle
"kill!"
The sword light flashed, drawing a beautiful arc, and blood splattered.
Ding Chen could no longer remember how many people he killed, ten, twenty, maybe...thirty! But those men in black still surrounded him, as if they couldn't kill them completely. He tried to break out of the siege several times, but was eventually forced to retreat.
Damn, how did so many assassins get into the palace?
Ding Chen cursed in his heart and scolded Sima, the three sidemen of Nangong.
However, there was no use. The man in black still rushed forward, holding his swords and rushing towards him.
With one hand broken spear and the other hand long sword, Ding Chen gradually felt troubled.
He slid down his feet, his body suddenly faded, his hands were broken and his spear was poked out, and he sank into the chest of a man in black with a puff.
Before he could even pull out the broken spear, he flashed and passed by the man in black.
A knife with a ring was pressed against his body, and he almost injured Ding Chen.
Ding Chen, I want to retreat a little!
A pretty boy with a pale face and thin body suddenly flashed through his mind.
He was not familiar with Liu Bian. After the conversation that night, the two of them didn't even say a word. But Ding Chen could feel Liu Bian's trust in him.
A scholar dies for his confidant!
Liu Bian may not be considered a confidant, but he gave his trust to Ding Chen.
Ding Chen told him that he would protect him from being thorough... A gentleman's promise is more important than a thousand gold!
Thinking of this, Ding Chen's retreating thought disappeared immediately. Moreover, with the palace gate closed, where can he retreat?
"Don't worry, Ding Chen is here."
While speaking, Ding Chen suddenly reached out and pinched a man in black on the neck.
His hands were much larger than ordinary people, and he could hold the neck of the man in black. He roared, his body rotated, and swung the man in black and smashed it hard towards the crowd. The sword in his hand became wide open and closed, completely ignoring his safety, and his killing method became even more fierce. Wherever he saw it, blood flowed into a river...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"If the king is not tactful, don't blame me for being ruthless."
In the Age Hall, the man had lost his patience.
The originally calm face has now become ferocious, with fierce light flashing in her eyes.
Liu Bian was scared, but he still stood up... Last year, he was kidnapped by Zhang Rang and others because of his timidity.
Now, he is fearless!
He was a descendant of Emperor Gao, a descendant of Emperor Guangwu, and an emperor of the Han Dynasty.
"Dog thief, wanting a jade seal, is delusional."
"So, then go and die."
As the man spoke, he was about to stab Liu Bian with his sword.
But a scream sounded. Tang Ji, who had been protected by Liu Bian, suddenly rushed over like crazy and blocked Liu Bian.
"A Tang!"
Liu Bian was shocked and shouted in dismay.
He didn't expect that Tang Ji, who had always been timid and cowardly, would have such courage, which caught him off guard.
Damn it!
When the man saw Tang Ji pounce on him, he suddenly woke up, as if he had realized something.
With Liu Bian's protection of Tang Ji, it can be seen that he loves Tang Ji very much. If Tang Ji was the hostage just now, Liu Bian would have bowed his head long ago... But it's not too late now! Hold Tang Ji and see how long this kid can stand up.
Thinking of this, the man came up with an idea.
He shook his wrist, flipped his sword, changed his stab to slap, and slapped Tang Ji to the ground with a snap.
"Don't hurt Atang."
When Liu Bian saw Tang Ji lying on the ground, he was immediately confused.
Before he could step forward, the man had already come to Tang Ji's side first.
It was at this moment that he suddenly heard a cold and wonderful voice in his ears: "The thief was bold and he couldn't stop."
"Who?"
In the empty hall, except for the man, there were only Liu Bian and the other two.
This sudden sound made him shocked.
The fragrant wind blew and a figure suddenly appeared.
A beautiful figure fell from the sky and appeared behind the man like a ghost.
He shivered and shivered, and his instinctive backhand was a sword. But before his sword could be stabbed out, a cold light had passed by his eyes.
Next to Liu Bian, a woman dressed in a palace maid appeared.
However, she was covered with a veil on her face and couldn't see her face clearly. She only showed her beautiful bright eyes, revealing a cold look.
"Sister, you are finally here!"
Seeing this woman, Liu Bian couldn't help but cheer, and a bright smile appeared on his pale face.
The man covered his neck with one hand, staggered and took two steps back, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
"Ho ho..."
He pointed at the woman, his eyes flashing with horror.
But the woman ignored him and quickly walked to Tang Ji, squatted down and checked her pulse, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Tang just fainted and had no worries about her life."
"Sister, why are you here now?"
"The old thief was not sleeping for a long time, and I knew something was going to happen.
So I had to find a reason before I got out... I didn't expect that the old thief was so bold and did such a thing.
Your Majesty, you must not stay in the palace, otherwise you will die sooner or later.”
"But……"
"Your Majesty, I came in time this time, and I am lucky.
In addition, the guy who is not afraid of death outside attracted their attention, so he succeeded. If he doesn't leave now, he will have no chance. Or, is there something you missed in this palace city?"
Liu Bian's eyes fell on Tang Ji who was unconscious.
"Sister, can you take her away?"
"The palace city is strictly guarded, and it is not easy for me to take Your Majesty away. If I take Concubine Tang away, it will be difficult to take care of it."
After hearing what the woman said, Liu Bian did not continue to persevere.
He whispered: "My mother was killed, and there is no nostalgia in this palace except A Tang.
Although Dong Hou and I are brothers, they have always been ill-intentioned. If it weren't for... I'd be afraid that he would have coaxed Dong thief to harm my life.
Well, since that's the case, there is no need for me to stay here.
But sister, if Gu left, what should Atang do?"
"Don't worry, your Majesty, I have my own arrangements."
As she spoke, she quickly walked to the bronze cauldron in the center of the hall.
There was a burning charcoal fire in the cauldron. She saw her pick up a stick, took a few steps, and poked it on the cauldron with one stick.
Boom, the cauldron suddenly burst into pieces.
The charcoal fire inside splashed and fell on the veil hanging between the pillars, causing a raging flame.
Immediately, the woman dragged the man's body to the next to the dragon bed, then pulled off the silk cloth on the bed and covered it on the body. She sprinkled the lamp oil on the cloth curtain, and immediately threw the lit light over, and the curtain immediately burned.
"Your Majesty, when the fire lights are together, it will inevitably alarm the swordsmen in the palace.
The assassins outside will also panic and will definitely flee around... As for that guy, as long as he does not die, he will definitely come in to investigate and save Tang Ji's life. Now, let's leave quickly, otherwise he will not be able to escape."
The flames spread rapidly.
Liu Bian couldn't help but look at Tang Ji again, suddenly gritted his teeth, and followed the woman toward the pavilion.
But the hall turned into a sea of fire...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ding Chen could not dodge and was hit by the assassin.
He staggered back a few steps, his feet softened, and he almost knelt on the ground.
The spear in his hand pierced to the ground with a sound, and finally stood firm. At this time, he was covered in bruises and blood soaked his clothes.
And there were at least fifty assassins who died at his hands.
There were dozens of people left, holding swords and urging him.
At this critical moment, the fire in the Age Hall had spread, causing the assassins to panic.
"Big Young Master?"
Someone panicked and shouted, turned around and rushed to the front of the hall door, kicking open the hall door.
The gate was opened, but the flames gushing out of the hall swallowed the assassin and turned into a fire man. He screamed and walked a few steps on the steps, then fell to the ground.
A fire broke out?
Seeing this, Ding Chen was shocked.
What should we do if King Hongnong and his wife are still in the hall?
Without caring about the stunned assassins around him, Ding Chen came to the gate of the hall in two steps in three steps.
Fire snakes danced around, and fires soared into the sky.
The Pavilion Hall has become a sea of fire!
In the fire, Ding Chen vaguely saw a man lying in the hall.
He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and rushed in with a hot flame.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
He shouted loudly and ran towards the figure on the ground.
When he got closer, he realized that it was Liu Bian's concubine Tang Ji.
However, Liu Bian disappeared, only to see a figure wrapped in flames beside the dragon bed in the distance.
Could it be... King Hongnong?
Seeing the figure motionless, Ding Chen knew that the man was dead.
Thinking of this, he didn't bother to go up and check it out. He bent down and picked up Tang Ji, turned around and ran towards the outside of the hall.
At the same time, the fire in Age also alarmed others.
The Nangong Guard, who was closest to Age, reacted first and immediately flocked to him.
However, the palace gate was closed and blocked their way... Fortunately, they have been practicing outside Hongde Gate recently, and the equipment was very complete. The guards found two bumping woods in the schoolyard and began to hit the palace gate.
The palace gate of Age is very thick, but it is not as strong as the city gate.
After dozens of impacts, the palace gate collapsed.
At this time, the swordsmen who were responsible for inspecting the palace city and the guards of the Nangong Sanmen also arrived outside the Age Palace City...
As soon as they entered the palace gate, they saw a group of men in black rushing towards them.
"Assassin, there are assassins!"
The swordsmen immediately rushed forward and surrounded the men in black.
Ding Chen held Tang Ji in his arms and stumbled out of the Age Hall.
There were many places burned by flames all over his body. After rushing out of the sea of fire, he could no longer hold on to the guards of Nangong, and then sat on the cold steps.
"Don't let these assassins go!
Chapter completed!
