On the outskirts, a police car rushed towards the street and tried to drive away the dilapidated vehicles blocking the road. Unfortunately, when it approached these obstacles, someone actually fired shots at the surrounding buildings.
The patrol policemen who tried to get closer to the Prince's Mansion immediately did not dare to act rashly. After all, they were not the army, and they were not qualified to talk about combat effectiveness.
It is unrealistic to expect these patrol officers to attack under a hail of bullets, not to mention that they still don’t know what happened.
Before receiving the exact order, it was impossible for them to risk their lives to do anything. Anyway, it was not their turn to take care of this kind of thing. Naturally, the city defense guards and Ouchi Forbidden Army came forward.
"What happened? Why are there gunshots? What are you doing here? What's going on?" After a long time, a patrol captain finally arrived. He bent over and walked to a subordinate hiding behind the police car.
He opened his mouth and asked.
The subordinate held his official hat with his hand, shook his head and explained: "I don't know, boss... There were two cars in front of us, blocking the road. We wanted to move the obstacle, but we heard gunfire.
Voice……"
"Where was the gun fired?" The leader did not dare to look and could only continue to ask.
"The sound of gunshots sounds a bit like coming from the building in the distance...but no one is sure." The subordinate continued to answer, but he was also not sure.
Just kidding, if you receive that little money a month, if it weren’t for the benefits provided by the gang, your whole family would go hungry. In this case, who would risk their lives?
Although we know that there is a high probability that the opponent will have a few gunmen ambushing nearby, but who dares to be the first to show up and become someone else's target?
"Trash!" After scolding his subordinates, the leader did not dare to stick out his head to take a closer look. He could only crawl along the convoy of police cars back to where he came from, looking for a phone to call his superiors.
Went to report the situation.
In the Prince's Mansion, the battle is still going on fiercely. Because this is not a royal palace after all, the interior is actually not too complicated.
On the outskirts of where the Crown Princess and the other ladies were, a courtyard gate guarded by soldiers was captured. Stepping on the corpses lying strewn about on the ground, several masked men finally rushed into the back house of the Crown Prince's Mansion.
In the spirit of preferring to kill the wrong person before letting go, they beat everyone they saw into a sieve, even the concubines of the princes who were as beautiful as flowers were not spared.
"Where is the Crown Prince?" A masked man stepped on the Crown Princess's chest and asked fiercely: "If you don't tell me, I'll kill you!"
"As the Crown Princess, it is impossible for me to betray the Crown Prince! If you want to kill me, then kill him!" This woman was tough, staring at the masked man who was stepping on her with her beautiful eyes, and said through gritted teeth.
The masked man didn't waste any time, he pulled the trigger and beat the woman to death. The bullet hit the woman's body and splashed a mist of blood.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard these masked men searched, they could not find the prince's hiding place. They searched from room to room and even rummaged through boxes and cabinets, but they could not find the target of this operation-Zhao Ji.
"Prince! Prince...Zhao Ji, he, he is not in the mansion! Not in the mansion!" A soldier finally couldn't stand it any longer. Looking at the black muzzle of the gun, he desperately confessed everything he knew.
"You're talking nonsense! We saw Zhao Ji's car with our own eyes..." The masked man who was interrogating the other party suddenly got stuck at this point.
They did see the prince's car drive into the mansion, but they really didn't confirm whether the prince was in that damn car.
"Oops! We've been tricked!" The masked man who reacted immediately shouted angrily: "We might have been betrayed!"
"No! Maybe this bastard deceived us!" Another masked man thought of another possibility - the other person just made up an excuse to buy some time for Prince Zhao Ji who was hiding in the mansion.
For a moment, these masked men didn't know who to believe. They hesitated and wasted every minute.
"There may be a secret door, tunnel... I can't find that damn Zhao Ji for a while!" In a hurry, a masked man angrily put forward his own opinion: "Who made this plan? Why is it so hasty?
"
"..." The masked man headed by him is a confidant of the prince Zhao Yu. Naturally, he will not say that the whole plan was made by Zhao Yu.
But in fact, many masked people knew in their hearts that if today's operation was left to those Tang people to plan, there would never be so much trouble.
"Light the fire! Burn this bastard Zhao Ji to death!" In desperation, he could only use this move to make up for the roughness of the plan.
"Yes! Burn this place down! He can't escape anyway!" Some suggested, and some agreed. These masked men who had wasted a lot of time looking for Zhao Ji were obviously a little impatient.
If they delay here for one minute, there will be one minute of risk when they break through. They are Zhao Yu's confidants, but they have no intention of losing their lives today.
Since there was no good solution, these masked men immediately took action. They took out their lighters or other things and started lighting fires everywhere.
Because no igniters such as gasoline were prepared in advance, the ignition project was not implemented quickly.
What's more, inside the Prince's Mansion, resistance is still continuing: the remaining Prince's Mansion guards are fighting desperately to protect Zhao Ji's few remaining servants.
They are struggling to hold on, hoping that reinforcements can arrive quickly, and that these thieves will leave quickly after becoming timid.
Just as these people persisted in fighting, puffs of black smoke began to rise from the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, and the smell of burnt lake soon filled the air. Some guards sighed in despair: "Oh no! They set fire!"
As black smoke rose up, the scene became even more chaotic. Masked men ran rampant in the Prince's Mansion, looking for Zhao Ji everywhere - although they had already found out from many people that Zhao Ji was not in the manor.
, but they still don’t want to believe this fact.
However, as the assassination time continued to pass, the ammunition in the hands of these masked men became less and less. They had to consider how to break out.
"Let's go! If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!" The masked man in the lead looked at his watch and finally made a decision.
Although he has not yet found Zhao Ji, the primary target of the assassination, if he continues to stay, all of them will die here.
"Retreat! Retreat!" After hearing the leader's order, the masked men around them immediately responded: They were also very nervous and did not want to die here.
