The splashing horse hooves resounded throughout the palace. Zhang Xiaowu took the lead, followed by Emperor Dade, and the others followed closely to protect him. On the cold twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, no, it was already past midnight. Today
It’s New Year’s Eve, the last day of the second year of Dade.
Zhang Xiaowu came to Longdu at the beginning of this year, and then returned to Saibei and brought 7,000 frontier troops to form the Silver Guards, reorganized the city of Longdu, and helped solve a case at the end of the year. He thought this year would be a fulfilling year
In this happy year, he thought everything would get better, and he thought he would rise higher and higher. But what he didn't expect was that on the last day of this year, a group of people launched a coup and even destroyed the palace. And he, the emperor,
The one he trusted the most was fleeing everywhere with the emperor.
"You will not succeed." Zhang Xiaowu swore secretly, and the horse speeded up again.
A group of infantrymen appeared in front of them. Zhang Xiaowu didn't care whether they were his own people or not, and ordered: "Bump them over."
"call!"
“Da da da da——”
When the soldiers in front saw the galloping cavalry, they were startled and quickly dodged away. They only saw a figure from behind, and they were so angry that they cursed: "You bastard! Are the cavalry great? Who do you think you are? Ah!
?It's just riding a horse. If you have the ability to dismount and fight? Let me tell you, I will be the captain tomorrow, and I will kill you at any time."
After rushing through this group of people, Zhang Xiaowu and others finally approached the south gate and even closer to the Zhengde Hall. But at this time, the Zhengde Hall was burning with flames. The Emperor suddenly shouted: "The jade seal is in the Zhengde Hall.
.”
Zhang Xiaowu turned around and shouted: "There is no time to pay attention."
Emperor Dade said: "Only by finding the imperial seal can we prove that I am the emperor."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Your Majesty, you have to get out alive first to prove that if you are killed by the rebels, even if you have a national jade seal, it will only be used as wedding clothes for others."
Emperor Dade smiled wryly and nodded. The wind blew on his face, and his white scarf flew away, revealing a fair and handsome face. His son followed his mother, and Emperor Dade's appearance was a combination of his mother, Empress Dowager Zhang, and his father, Emperor Taigan.
All his advantages are that he is a real handsome man. Even though he is thirty years old now, he is still much more handsome than many people, making people unforgettable after seeing him.
When everyone arrived at the south gate, Zhang Xiaowu noticed that there was a capital team stationed here, and he immediately shouted: "According to the order of General Helan, the Qinglong Forbidden Army has taken over the Eight Departments and Sixth Academy, and open the city gate quickly!"
The rebels were about to open the city gate when suddenly someone stood on the tower and shouted: "Don't open the door, that's the emperor, that's the tyrant!"
Zhang Xiaowu looked up and saw two hateful and angry faces appearing on the archery tower of the city gate. They were Huang Sheng and Huang Qi's uncle and nephew. He never expected that they were also here, and the one who was shouting was
Huang Sheng. Huang Sheng once went to court to falsely accuse Zhang Xiaowu, and once secretly glanced at the emperor. He felt that the emperor was the most beautiful man in the world, so he was very impressed by the emperor. Most of the rebels did not recognize the emperor. After he reminded them,
They all gathered around.
Zhang Xiaowu didn't have time to meet with everyone, so he turned around and found that Emperor Dade's face mask had been lost at some point, so Huang Sheng exposed it on the spot.
"Damn it, kill it!" Zhang Xiaowu shouted: "Speed up, hit me with your horse, don't stop, hit me! Hit these turtles to death!"
"Come on!"
The Royal Forest Army and others immediately rushed over on horseback and knocked away the oncoming rebels. More than twenty war horses charged side by side at the same time, almost forming a heavy hammer and crushing them. The rebels were either dead or injured and fell under the horses' hooves.
But at this time Huang Sheng on the tower shouted: "Archers release arrows, archers release arrows!"
Zhang Xiaowu was furious. After knocking several rebels away, he took off his face mask and shouted: "Ghost General Zhang Xiaowu, stop me from dying again!" When the rebels blocking him heard the name of Ghost General, they immediately
They were so frightened that they backed away repeatedly, but Huang Sheng shouted: "Kill the pretty boy behind Zhang Xiaowu, that is the tyrant. If you kill him, you will be crowned a prince and enjoy wealth forever, just kill him!" The rebels suddenly had a target to attack, and they
They didn't want to fight with the ghost generals, they just needed to kill the emperor. At this time, the archers were finally ready and began to shoot arrows at the imperial guards.
In the dark night, the archers' bows and arrows were not accurate, and even ten arrows failed to hit once, and they also hit many rebel soldiers. However, they still caused serious trouble to the Imperial Guards. Three Imperial Guards fell off their horses and fought with each other.
The rebels fought together and were killed soon after. Zhang Xiaowu was even more anxious because the rebels deliberately fought with him and instead of fighting him, they always attacked the emperor. When Emperor Dade encountered the rebel attack for the first time, he had already tried his best and lay on his back.
He only followed Zhang Xiaowu on horseback. In order to protect him, four more imperial guards were killed.
Zhang Xiaowu led everyone through the rebels, but could not reach the south gate. He looked back at the corpses on the ground, and then at the fifty archers on the city gate. He sighed and said: "Today, either they die, or we -
—”
"Da da da da da-"
The sound of horse hoofbeats was heard, and a cavalry team rushed out from the east side, shouting: "Stop the Imperial Guards, don't let them escape, we are here, we are here!"
Zhang Xiaowu was desperate. He looked at the imperial guards behind him. There were twelve more people. Including him and the emperor, there were only fourteen people in total. The number of opponents increased to more than three hundred, and there was no chance of winning. At this time, Zhang Xiaowu
The prayer time was faster, and the silver-clad guard was more decisive. He immediately turned his horse's head and said: "Let's go!"
The crowd immediately withdrew, followed by the rebel cavalry. They had been running and fighting for nearly an hour, and the horses began to breathe heavily. Zhang Xiaowu realized that the physical strength of the horses had reached its limit, and the physical strength of them had also reached its limit.
, he will be chased and killed by the rebel cavalry soon after.
Anxiously, he shouted: "Everyone, follow me back to the island in the center of Yuehua Lake."
No one questioned or spoke. Everyone followed Zhang Xiaowu closely and ran towards Yuehua Lake. Soon, they approached Yuehua Lake, and Zhang Xiaowu sneered at the corner of his mouth and shouted: "Don't worry about anything.
, don’t be afraid of any danger, just rush for me! No matter the horsepower, no matter life or death, rush over! Drive! Drive! Drive!”
“Da da da da——”
Zhang Xiaowu and fourteen others charged wildly with their horses. When the horses' hooves stepped on the lake, Zhang Xiaowu heard the sound of crunching again, but the horses ran very fast. Although the crunching sounds were constant, they ran over quickly.
"Plop!"
A horse and a guard fell into the lake and disappeared. Some people were frightened and urged the horses to run faster with their eyes closed. Zhang Xiaowu also prayed secretly, praying that the ice would not crack when they passed by, and that nothing would happen to Emperor Dade.
, otherwise they will have wasted all their efforts and fell short.
"Kill! Kill Zhang Xiaowu and make him a marquis! Kill the tyrant and make him a king! Kill——"
