This is a team of about a hundred people, composed entirely of imperial guards. The leader is called Cao Yi, who is Cao Shan's cousin.
Although Cao Shan is very loyal to Bai Yutian, there is no guarantee that he will not have a lackey of the Gu family under him.
This Cao Yi is one of them.
Cao Yi was wearing silver armor, which glowed coldly under the moonlight.
"Cao Yi, what are you doing here?" Chen Hong scolded Cao Yi angrily.
Cao Yi smiled softly and got off his horse, "I patrolled here at night and found that there were so many forbidden troops surrounded here, so I came here to take a look."
"I wonder what crime Gu Guifei has committed that deserves Commander Chen's personal action."
There was a hint of anger on Chen Hong's face: "Your Majesty personally issued this order. Are you, Cao Yi, going to question His Majesty?"
Of course Cao Yi didn't have the courage to question Bai Yutian. He came here just to delay
With Bai Yutian's order in his hand, Chen Hong was not afraid no matter how many people came to the Gu family, and he could even get rid of them all without hesitation.
"General Chen, your majesty has previously granted me the emperor's gold medal. Even if your majesty writes an imperial edict, I can still enter and leave Suyue Palace. No one can stop me. Moreover, any crime can only be decided by your majesty personally. Otherwise, it is contempt."
Imperial power." As he said that, Gu Lianxi took out a gold medal from his arms, which immediately made Chen Hong's face look ugly.
Of course he knew that this gold medal was real. Bai Yutian had doted on Gu Lianxi before, almost to the point of being unable to extricate himself. Even a mere emperor's gold medal was given to him at will.
Today, it just came in handy.
"Haha, did you hear that? Concubine Gu has the emperor's gold medal. Even if you have His Majesty's imperial edict, it won't work." At this moment, Cao Yi walked past Chen Hong with an extremely arrogant expression.
Chen Hong clenched his fists. Gu Lianxi had the emperor's gold medal. Logically speaking, he had no right to stop it, but he remembered that Bai Yutian said that no matter what, it must go on.
In response to this, Chen Hong had no choice but to stand up and stand in front of everyone.
"General Chen, what do you mean?" Gu Lianxi frowned and asked displeasedly.
"Sorry, Your Majesty has ordered that no one can leave Suyue Palace tonight no matter what."
As Chen Hong said these words, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
Originally, Chen Hong had Bai Yutian's order to surround Gu Lianxi's Suyue Palace, which was considered justifiable.
However, now that Gu Lianxi has taken out the Emperor's Gold Medal, even if there is a big matter, at least at this moment, he cannot be investigated.
At this time, if Chen Hong insists on blocking, then it is not justified. Even if Gu Lianxi and others resist, it does not matter at all.
Even if Gu Lianxi is the only one, even if he resists, it won't make any waves at all.
However, now that Cao Yi has intervened, things are not that simple. Once things turn into a battle and there are casualties on both sides, then no matter who is right or wrong afterwards, both sides will have to bear the consequences and be severely punished.
punishment.
Taking action in the palace is a serious crime.
Chen Hong's eyes were cold. They were indeed careless and forgot to restrain Cao Yi and others, which caused them to do bad things.
"General Chen, you have to think carefully. If you take action now, it will not be our side that is at fault." Cao Yi stepped forward and threatened Chen Hong.
"Concubine Gu, please stay quietly in Suyue Palace and wait for His Majesty's arrival." Chen Hong continued with a sigh.
Now that the matter has come to this, he can only continue to persevere. As long as Bai Yutian comes over, they will be in peace.
Just when Chen Hong wanted to continue speaking, a brilliant fire suddenly burst out of the palace and shot straight into the sky.
The fire was fierce and spread very quickly, and the location of the fire turned out to be the Tai Chi Hall where Concubine Yun Gui was.
Seeing this scene, Chen Hong's expression suddenly changed.
It is absolutely impossible for Tai Chi Hall to catch fire for no reason, unless someone did it intentionally.
At this moment, Chen Hong couldn't care less about Gu Lianxi and others, and quickly ordered the imperial army to go to Tai Chi Hall to rescue Concubine Yun.
At the same time, Bai Yutian also hurried back to the palace. When he saw the sky-high flames igniting in the Tai Chi Hall, his expression changed drastically and he quickly quickened his pace.
In order to stop Gu Lianxi, Bai Yutian used almost all the imperial troops to surround Suyue Palace. Now, Taiji Palace was attacked, and only the imperial guards led by Cao Shan could dispatch in time. The situation was very dangerous.
Outside the burning Tai Chi Hall, many black figures appeared, approaching the Tai Chi Hall with agility.
This is the time when the guards outside Tai Chi Hall are handing over, and it is the time when the defense is at its weakest.
There were a lot of assassins, and they were not weak in strength. Almost as soon as the battle started, these guards were at a disadvantage.
Concubine Yun Guifei had been awakened by the movement outside. Looking at the sky full of fire, she was at a loss. She could only shout for help to attract others to come and put out the fire.
In addition to the fire, there were also many assassins who rushed into the Tai Chi Hall and killed everyone they saw without sparing anyone.
Concubine Yun Guifei hid in the house under the protection of several eunuchs and maids, but she could not escape the assassins.
"Get lost!" shouted loudly, and it turned out that Cao Shan arrived in time and stopped these assassins.
Cao Shan is short and fat, but his speed is not slow, and he is extremely flexible and agile. He shuttles between several assassins, but these assassins cannot touch a corner of Cao Shan's clothes.
But soon, Cao Shan encountered a powerful enemy. Although his strength and speed were not as good as his, he was extremely difficult to deal with, so Cao Shan had to concentrate on dealing with this person.
As for the other assassins, they all bypassed Cao Shan and continued to kill Concubine Yun.
The machete struck and was about to fall on Concubine Yun. At this moment, a stone flew out and hit the machete.
The strong force caused the machete to change direction and hit the pillar next to it.
It was Dian Wei who shot out the stones. Thanks to Bai Yutian's awakening, they finally arrived at the Tai Chi Hall in time.
However, they have reached this point. These assassins no longer want to leave the palace alive. They just want to complete their mission and kill Concubine Yun.
Upon seeing this, Bai Yutian's face suddenly turned cold, and strong murderous intent erupted from his body.
This was the first time since Bai Yutian traveled through time that such a powerful murderous intention broke out, and his heart was filled with rage.
At this moment, the imperial army led by Chen Hong also arrived and immediately began to kill the assassins and put out the flames.
"Boom." These assassins came in an endless stream, trying like crazy to kill Concubine Yun. This was their final goal.
As long as they kill Concubine Yun, even if they all die, it will be considered a success.
However, now that there are many people protecting Concubine Yun in Taiji Hall, it will undoubtedly be more difficult to kill Concubine Yun in this situation.
