Wanfu Palace is the residence of the Empress Dowager, and is naturally the most luxurious in Daxuan. Its specifications are no less than that of Tianxuan Palace where the emperor lives.
The palace is divided into the front hall and the back hall. The front hall handles the affairs of the court, and the back hall handles the affairs of the palace. The last part of the palace is the living place of the Queen Mother.
Today, the more than a hundred assassins are clearly coming for the Queen Mother. They will definitely break through the front and back halls and go straight to the Queen Mother's palace.
They were obviously fully prepared. At the beginning of the attack, they had sent people around Wanfu Palace to prevent the Queen Mother from escaping after learning the news.
At this moment, the assassins rushed into the hall like an overwhelming force. The guards guarding the hall had been killed, and only a few Qilin Guards with high martial arts skills were still fighting to the death with the enemy!
However, the enemy was helpless with so many masters and so many people. The few Qilin Guards were unable to withstand them. They were frequently attacked, and their lives were in danger at the very sight.
At this time, Zhao Yu, who had escaped, was already surrounded by enemies, and the situation was not good.
With the sound of a fierce fight, Zhao Yu and several Qilin Guards were forced deep into the hall, and most of the assassins headed by the luxurious woman had already entered the hall.
The main hall is magnificent and magnificent. The stone pillars supporting the main hall are carved with dragons and phoenixes, with scales and claws flying, creating a majestic atmosphere.
Deep in the main hall, there is a phoenix chair and throne, as well as a luxurious glazed screen behind it, showing the majesty of the royal family everywhere.
"It's no longer possible. We can't fight anymore. Retreat!" Zhao Yu tried hard to fight while admonishing the Qilin Guards. "I've already called for help. Reinforcements will arrive soon!"
"Daxuan guards, don't give an inch," one of the Qilin guards said with firm eyes, "If you want to pass, you have to step on our corpses!"
Tsk tsk...
Pedantic...
Zhao Yu frowned and had to think about how to retreat?
Now that the roads are blocked, there might be a chance if these Qilin Guards retreat with him, but if they run alone, the chance is probably slim.
Unexpectedly, at such a critical moment, a burst of fighting suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Kill!"
"Protect the Queen Mother..."
"Surround them all, don't let anyone go, kill them..."
Suddenly hearing the cry of killing, all the assassins present looked surprised and slightly panicked.
Because they thought their plan was perfect, now both the palace and the entire Holy Capital were in chaos.
People were busy dealing with the soldiers who went crazy after drinking the potion, and had no time to care about the safety of the Ten Thousand Blessings Palace.
"Kill..."
The people outside were approaching fiercely, and with the clanging of weapons and screams, a group of people were seen rushing into the hall, facing many Xuanmen assassins.
"Hey!" After seeing this group of new people rushing in, Zhao Yu suddenly became energetic and shouted excitedly, "Master Xu, the magic soldiers have descended from the sky! Great! I knew it, I just
Know……"
Before Zhao Yu could finish praising him, a hidden dart came towards him. He was so frightened that he quickly hit the hidden dart away with his sword and never dared to be distracted again.
Sure enough, the group of people who rushed in were reinforcements headed by Xu Zun.
At Xu Zun's side were Huo Anu, A Ni, Ku Niang, the elite internal guards sent to him by Cai Kun, and the detectives from the Divine Catcher Division who had gone back to report the news.
All added together, there are about thirty people.
In order to save time, they went straight to the Ancestral Temple. After entering the Ancestral Temple, they saw it clearly and confirmed their speculation.
So, they also climbed into the palace by climbing the rope left by the assassins, and then arrived in time.
However, Xu Zun had already thought that the enemy had bad intentions, and the number and quality of the assassins were the best.
Just the thirty or so of them are probably no match for the enemy.
Therefore, he could only use bluffing to delay as much time as possible, because Cai Kun, who knew the true situation of the disaster, had already mobilized elite troops.
As long as we can delay it until the big troops arrive, the problem can be easily solved!
"Stop, stop!" Xu Zun shouted loudly as soon as he rushed into the hall, "Your treacherous plot has been discovered by me long ago. Can't you see that this is a tactic to catch a turtle in an urn?
"Thieves, if you don't just surrender and be captured, when will you wait?"
When Xu Zun said this, it had a miraculous effect. As expected, most of the assassins who were fighting fiercely stopped.
All the assassins looked horrified and looked at the luxurious lady in the center.
"ah!!?"
As a result, when she saw this luxurious lady, Timur Ani next to Xu Zun trembled all over and almost fell to her knees.
Xu Zun suddenly realized that this noble lady was most likely the Yuanzhou Taoist Ani mentioned.
So, he quickly stood in front of Ani, trying not to let her show up too early.
Ani also took a few steps back knowingly and hid behind the crowd.
"No, don't listen to him!" At this time, someone among the assassins shouted, "They don't have many people. If it is really a trap, how come they only have this few people?"
"Yes, if it is a trap, we will be surrounded by them as soon as we enter!"
"Yes," said the other, "if you can really calculate it, why don't you block us underground and force us to fight our way into the palace?"
"Ahem, why are you talking so much nonsense? So what if it's a trap, just kill him today!" an assassin who was not afraid of death shouted.
Seeing this, Xu Zun had to use his unique trump card.
"Hahahaha...hahahaha..." Xu Zun laughed crazily with all his strength, so much that his face turned red.
Needless to say, this trick really worked, and the whole hall fell silent after laughing.
"Do you think you can really hide the fact that you secretly transported pills into the military camp and arranged for someone to secretly administer them?" Xu Zun said confidently, "In fact, I have seen through your conspiracy a long time ago!
"I have already secretly investigated Yan Hai, the Minister of Civil Service who was assassinated by you, and have been monitoring the military officials he promoted as an exception!
"So," he narrowed his eyes and said, "the chaos in the palace you see now is just us acting for you!"
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Xu Zun meant, and echoed loudly from the other side, "As early as when we first went down into the underground ditch, my lord had already discovered that you were using
Fake moss is used as a road sign!”
ah……
After hearing Xu Zun and Zhao Yu's chorus, the assassins' expressions tightened and they all believed it to be true.
If the road sign is exposed, it means they have no way out and only death is waiting for them.
"Oh, oh yo..." Zhao Yu was also extremely clever. He understood that Xu Zun might be stalling for time, so he pointed at the man with a scarred triangular eye and sharp claws on his hands and said, "If I guessed correctly,
Isn't this Gongsun Yelang?
"And this one," he pointed at the hunched man who looked like a vampire, "Sun Shadow Dark Demon Luojia! And this white beauty..." He pointed at the pale-faced woman and said, "Saintess Sword Qu"
Zhenbai.
"Good guys, you really spared no expense to invite all these wanted criminals with a lot of crimes. No wonder the government can't find these people!"
Even though Zhao Yu was talking with great joy and was extremely relaxed, if you look carefully, you can see cold sweat on both sides of his cheeks.
Because he was the only one at the scene who knew these three people best, and knew that their true combat prowess was no less than the top ten masters of Daxuan.
It's just because they do so many evil things that they are excluded from the top ten masters.
"That's enough!" At this moment, the luxurious woman gathered in the center of the crowd finally spoke and revealed the mystery, "If there is really a trap, why are you so long-winded?
"Are you trying to delay time and wait for reinforcements!!?"
this……
Xu Zun frowned and immediately thought about how to continue scaring them.
But what was unexpected was that the luxurious woman smiled faintly and said: "It's okay, actually we are not in a hurry, we can just chat..."
