"Oh, the father wants to summon the children?" The Eighth Prince looked into Eunuch Fan's eyes and asked: "Didn't it mean that the father has been ill for many days and is very weak? Why can he get out of bed to meet with the children and ministers again today?
?”
Eunuch Fan smiled and responded: "Your Majesty heard that the Eighth Prince had returned triumphantly from the Sui Kingdom. He was extremely happy. His spirit suddenly improved a lot. This is not surprising."
As he spoke, he put down the teacup in his hand, bowed his hand to the Eighth Prince and said, "The imperial edict has been delivered to me. I also ask His Highness the Eighth Prince to come to the Taiji Hall on time at noon today to see Your Majesty. Don't let Your Majesty down. The Za family will return now."
The palace has ordered me to go back." After saying that, he stood up to say goodbye and walked out.
The Eighth Prince looked at Eunuch Fan's leaving figure and asked Qin Baiyu beside him: "What does the young master think of this matter?"
Qin Baiyu unfolded the golden lacquer folding fan in his hand with a "swish" sound, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Fan just came over immediately to test whether His Highness is still alive. This old guy has long been in cahoots with the Crown Prince and the Imperial Master.
It’s the chief eunuch in the palace again. The ‘brain-eating demon’ thing happened to Eunuch Xiang last night. According to my subordinates, this guy will definitely not be able to escape his involvement.”
The Eighth Prince frowned slightly and said: "This old servant just told me that my father will meet with me and the generals at the Taiji Palace later. Do you think there is something wrong with this matter?"
Qin Baiyu muttered: "There is indeed something wrong. It stands to reason that the emperor's current bedside is always in the Yangxin Hall, so it's fine if we don't meet there. If we want to formally receive His Highness, we should promote the power of our great Chu country and receive envoys from various countries.
Chonghua Hall or Wuying Hall are more appropriate.
How could we have thought of setting up the Tai Chi Hall, which is the most remote and remote place in the palace? But since this matter is an oral message delivered by Eunuch Fan, the general manager of the palace, we have to go, otherwise it will be blatantly disobeying the holy order. The Imperial Preceptor and the Fourth
The prince’s followers have a lot to do.”
The Eighth Prince nodded, "Then we will go to the Tai Chi Hall on time at noon today to see my father."
"But -" Qin Baiyu said: "Your Highness, we must also make some preparations to prevent fraud."
The Eighth Prince nodded and smiled. "So what if there is fraud? We have cut off the fourth son's right and left arm in the world. He is now alone, so we don't need to worry about him at all. As for the prince, though.
We have the backing of the Imperial Guard, but their overall strength is far inferior to ours. Even if we fight, they will be the ones who suffer."
"Your Highness must not be careless." Qin Baiyu shook the folding fan in his hand and said: "After all, the imperial city is the territory that the prince has managed for many years. There are too many variables for a small number of us to enter the palace. So far, our biggest reliance is
It's the 'Floating Fairy Island', and you have to use this fairy island when necessary."
"'Floating Fairy Island'?" The Eighth Prince shook his head, "No, if the 'Floating Fairy Island' flies over the imperial city, it will definitely make the people of the capital and the whole world suspicious and fearful. This prince will immediately
Then he will be known as a rebellious official and a traitor to the world."
"Your Highness, we don't have to take the 'Floating Fairy Island' with us to the palace." Qin Baiyu said calmly: "My subordinates want to inform Liu Shuai and the others so that the Fairy Island can be prepared outside the city at any time.
On standby in case we encounter someone inside the palace
If anything unexpected happens, you can summon it over in time. The flying speed of the 'Floating Fairy Island' is very fast when it is fully activated. Once summoned, it is estimated that it can reach the sky above the imperial city in just two cups of tea.
To suppress those scoundrels."
The Eighth Prince was still waiting to object. Qin Baiyu said sternly: "Your Highness, now is the critical moment for success as king and defeat as bandit. You also experienced a life and death disaster last night, and you should understand the cruelty of life and death. By this time, there is nothing else.
Don’t worry about it. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. We must use all means, otherwise we won’t even come back to the capital this time. Don’t even fight for the throne!"
The Eighth Prince hesitated for a moment, then nodded solemnly: "Let's do it. The matter has come to this, and we can only go all out and fight to the death."
At noon that day, the Eighth Prince led his ten generals in the Huajing Realm and more than three hundred personal guards to ride their horses to the Tai Chi Gate in the imperial city.
This Tai Chi Gate is the east gate of the imperial city. After passing through the Tai Chi Gate, you can reach the Tai Chi Hall.
In front of Taiji Gate is a huge square paved with marble slabs. On both sides of the square is an inland river surrounding the imperial city. At this time, a large round boat floats on the river, and a tall and strange tree stands on the boat.
This boat is surprisingly the same one that Lu Zhan saw on the canal through the city last night when he entered the city.
As soon as a group of people entered the Taiji Gate, they suddenly felt that the atmosphere around them was very different. They saw thousands of Forbidden Soldiers with bows and arrows suddenly appearing on the surrounding city walls. The black arrows were all aimed at the Eighth Prince below.
et al.
"No," Qin Baiyu shouted softly: "There is indeed a scam. Everyone, quickly form a formation to protect His Highness and retreat."
Ten generals immediately formed a circle to protect the Eighth Prince. Three hundred soldiers took the initiative to surround the outermost circle. Everyone released their Qi machines to form a strong protective Qi machine cover.
The ten Imperial Tiger Talisman generals are all extremely powerful men in the Huajin realm, and they have experienced hundreds of battles. Their fighting power is definitely not comparable to that of the imperial troops guarding the imperial city.
At this time, the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince, Yu Binghuo and others led a dozen of Huajin Realm experts to appear on the high imperial city wall one after another. The Crown Prince stood proudly on the wall of the city and shouted to the Eighth Prince below.
: "Old man, do you know your sin?"
The eighth prince looked up at the prince on the city wall and asked proudly: "What a joke, what crime do I, the majestic Prince Ying, and the commander of the expeditionary force have?"
"My father sent you to destroy the Sui Empire, but since you haven't completely wiped out the remnants of the Sui royal family, how can you return to the capital without permission?" The prince sneered and said, "Do you know that this is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor?"
"Don't come here to slap this king indiscriminately." The eighth prince responded calmly: "Brother, you used Eunuch Fan's mouth to falsely convey the imperial edict and deceived this king and many soldiers who have served the country into entering the palace. If you say you have committed a crime,
Those who deceive the emperor should be punished by people like you who have ulterior motives."
The prince raised his head and let out a string of evil laughter. He pointed at the eighth prince with his hand: "Old Eighth. Since you and I have completely broken up with each other today, there is no need to bother arguing about who is right and who is wrong.
.For the sake of you and me being brothers, I will give you a chance to be dead, and ask your men to put down their weapons and not to make any unnecessary resistance."
The Eighth Prince replied loudly: "Brother, do you think it is possible for us to lay down our weapons? We, the soldiers of the Great Chu Expeditionary Force, faced thousands of troops on the battlefield and did not even frown. How could we be afraid?
Are you waiting for this group of intimidating soldiers to break up?"
The fourth prince urged the prince from the side: "Brother, why are you talking so much nonsense to a dying man? Quickly deal with Lao Ba and his accomplices, so as not to have long nights and too many dreams."
The eighth prince turned his attention to the fourth prince and said coldly: "Fourth, last night there was a weird and strange beast, a brain-eating demon, trying to harm this king. It was probably you who was behind this incident; because only you, Prince Rui, can do that.
He is capable of colluding with gangsters and foreign evildoers, which is a disgrace to the dignity of our great Chu royal family."
The fourth prince admitted with a sinister smile: "Yes, it was my king who ordered me to do so. I didn't expect you, Lao Ba, to be so tough on your fate. You actually got rid of vicious beasts like the 'Brain-Eating Demon'.
But although you escaped the sniper attack last night, you cannot escape the catastrophe today!"
Hearing this, the Eighth Prince laughed arrogantly and said: "Don't say that you couldn't do anything to me with your despicable methods last night. Even if you lay a dragnet here today, I and the brothers in the expedition can still break through.
Break the formation and give you some insights!"
The prince narrowed his eyes and said: "Old man, if that's the case, then don't blame the eldest brother for being cruel. You and your men must die here today." Then he sternly ordered the soldiers on the surrounding walls: "Let go.
arrow!"
Following his command, thousands of black-tailed arrows were shot toward the Eighth Prince and others below.
The ten generals of the Huajin Realm who were protecting the Eighth Prince released all the Qi in their bodies, forming a huge Qi canopy to cover everyone inside. All the black-tailed feather arrows flying down from the sky were blocked by the Qi.
Outside the hood, a large pile of arrows was soon piled high on the ground in front of the hood.
However, among the many arrows that were shot, some of them hit the air machine cover. They actually made a shrill sound like the screams of evil spirits.
The sound was so harsh that it caused severe pain in the eardrums. The three hundred soldiers standing outside could not bear it at first and covered their ears with painful expressions on their faces.
The ten generals of the expeditionary force in the inner circle are all top masters in the realm of energy. They can still stand up to this strange sound, but they also feel very uncomfortable in their ears. It is as if hundreds of steel needles are being driven into the eardrums.
Drilling is average.
"Oops, there are hidden Huajin realm masters among these Forbidden Army archers who are shooting at us with the top-notch 'Three Mandrills Zhenyan Bow'." Qin Baiyu said loudly: "Everyone, please block your ears with your hands. This kind of excuse
The sonic attack emitted by the 'Three Mandrills Zhenyan Bow' has the effect of shocking people's hearts. Listening to it will cause people to temporarily lose consciousness and lose the ability to react."
The generals quickly covered their ears with their hands. Although the pain in their ears was not so bad, the soldiers surrounding the outer circle looked shaky and unable to hold on.
Lu Zhan remembered what Qin Baiyu said about "three mandrills shaking the wild goose bow". It was the same bow that he had taken to the Yan family's secret shop in Yunmeng City to trade after destroying Ghost Face Cliff.
The appraiser looked shocked at this strange bow.
Unexpectedly, three years later, at the critical juncture of the battle for the throne, I would personally encounter the sonic attack of this strange bow. How could I not feel a little sad and uncertain in my life?
However, he has now reached the late stage of transforming energy, so his resistance to sonic attacks is much higher than others, and the shrill ghostly screams have no effect on him at all.
"It seems that they are using arrows all over the sky mixed with sonic attacks to set up a huge array of dragnets." Qin Baiyu frowned and said to Lu Zhan and others beside him: "No, we can't be completely passive and beaten like this. We must
Just think of a way to counterattack and crack it."
"Let me do it." At this critical moment, Lu Zhan did his part. He said to Qin Baiyu and others: "You protect His Highness, and I will break this situation."
As he spoke, he held up the "Jingyun Sweeper Electric Gun" with his backhand, and saw a ray of silver light breaking through the colorful arrow rain and flying straight into the sky. Then it shot out dozens of bright lightning bolts in all directions in the shape of spokes. Hundreds of archers were instantly hit.
Hit by the lightning flash, they all screamed and fell off the city wall.
The fourth prince and the prince were extremely angry when they saw this, and each of them sacrificed their own pseudo-spiritual soldiers into the air. (To be continued...)
