"ah--"
Zongdao made a sound of reluctance, holding the spear that pierced his body with one hand, and still sat firmly on the horse.
Yang Ying quickly picked up another spear and threw it at Zongdao.
The third spear accurately stabbed Zongdao in the throat. General Jin Zhong could no longer hold on and finally fell off his horse.
"good!"
As soon as Zongdao died, bursts of cheers erupted around him.
Only then did Yang Ying come back to her senses from the life-and-death battle with Zong Dao, and saw the people in the princess mansion cheering, but they were far away from the battlefield.
Those "peace guards" were frightened when Yang Ying was fighting. Not only did they not dare to move forward, they even stepped back more than ten steps. Seeing Zongdao being killed, they stopped running away and dared to cheer and help. , but it sounds completely lacking in confidence.
On the contrary, the soldiers brought by Zongdao, although they were shocked because Zongdao was killed, did not retreat and still maintained a fighting posture.
Yang Ying looked back and glared at the Zongdao soldiers, all of whom were trembling.
"If you are not afraid of death, just come up!"
Yang Ying walked to Zongdao, picked up his horse war sword, raised it high to the sky, and strode towards the soldiers.
"Quickly retreat!"
Another man who also looked like a general immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat.
The soldier quickly retreated but did not run away.
"Prince-in-law!"
Zongdao's lieutenant trembled and shouted to Yang Ying: "The prince is dead. You are so brave, why don't you surrender to His Highness the King of Qin? His Highness the King of Qin will definitely use the Consort."
"You can't be the master of this matter."
Yang Ying turned to Princess Linyang and shouted: "Hurry up and enter the East Palace."
And at this moment, the gate of the East Palace opened with a creak, and a general and dozens of soldiers walked out.
"Your Majesty, you are so powerful."
That was Yang Wanjun, the deputy commander of the East Palace Guards. He had not yet received the news that the prince had been killed. He just saw a team coming and closed the door of the East Palace vigilantly.
When I heard the news that the prince had been killed, I instinctively chose not to believe it. When I saw Li Qiyuan among the crowd at the Princess Mansion, I shouted: "Your Highness, Prince Zhongshan, come back to the palace quickly."
Yang Wanjun welcomed Princess Linyang, Li Qiyuan and others into the East Palace.
Yang Ying then walked into the East Palace dragging Zongdao's sword.
"Husband-in-law, is the prince real?" Yang Wanjun's face was full of surprise and disbelief.
"died."
"Impossible, did you see it with your own eyes?"
Yang Ying said calmly: "If the prince is still alive, how dare they attack the East Palace."
Yang Wanjun's mind buzzed, and he almost lost his balance, muttering: "His Royal Highness..."
After a while, Yang Wanjun asked: "Prince-in-law, what should we do now?"
Now the person with the highest official position in the East Palace is Yang Wanjun, but as soon as the prince died, he lost his backbone. Fortunately, the prince's son is still there, so people's hearts will not be divided immediately.
But Li Qiyuan was only a fifteen-year-old boy. Although he was not stupid, how could he be expected to take charge at this juncture? Thinking of Yang Ying's mighty appearance in defeating Zongdao just now, Yang Wanjun unconsciously regarded him as his backbone.
When Yang Wanjun asked, Yang Ying felt a chill down his back: Yes! What should we do now?
He just asked the people from the Princess Mansion to come to the East Palace, and now that he has successfully entered, he has the capital to save his life.
But only a little bit!
When King Qin Li Chengba receives the news of Zongdao's death in battle, he will immediately send an army to encircle and suppress him. It will only be a matter of time before the East Palace is breached.
Action must be taken now.
"How many capable people are there in the East Palace now?"
"There were originally two thousand guards in the East Palace. Today the prince entered the palace and took away about a hundred people. There were also some who were sent by the prince to other places for business. Now there are still fifteen hundred soldiers in the palace."
What can 1,500 soldiers do?
Yang Ying calculated: They relied on them to protect Li Qiyuan and fight out of the capital. Since Li Chengba had already ambushed the prince, his black-armored army must have been prepared. The black-armored army was very powerful and it would be difficult to get out. Even if he succeeded, in the future, So what.
Now that Li Chengba has ambushed the prince, he will definitely force the emperor to abdicate. When he becomes emperor, he can order the world's troops to encircle and suppress him. These 1,500 soldiers will not have much effect.
Directly lead these 1,500 soldiers to kill Li Chengba?
I don’t know where Li Chengba is now. He may have entered the palace to see the emperor.
If this is true, most of the palace guards have been bribed by Li Chengba, and they entered the palace with 1,500 soldiers. The palace guards naturally resisted, and these troops were of no help at all.
If Li Chengba was not in the palace, it would be difficult to find his whereabouts.
"That's right!" Yang Ying suddenly realized: If Li Chengba had not entered the palace, would he have returned to Prince Qin's Mansion?
During the coup, the possibility of Li Chengba returning to his own house was low, but the Prince of Qin's house was the most worthy of attack among the places that Yang Ying could attack now.
Because Li Chengba's wives, concubines, and children are all in the Qin Palace.
Yang Ying didn't know how important his wife, concubines, and children were to Li Chengba, who dared to kill his own brother, but that was the only bargaining chip they could get now.
After analyzing it, Yang Ying said firmly: "Let's kill Prince Qin's Mansion."
"What?"
Yang Wanjun, Princess Linyang and Li Qiyuan were all shocked.
"Kill Prince Qin's Mansion and capture all of Prince Qin's family members. That way we will have hostages."
"But!"
Princess Linyang was still hesitating, and Yang Ying said: "We have no other choice, otherwise we have to sit back and wait for death.
Vice Commander Yang, are you willing to obey my command now? "
Yang Wanjun was stunned for a moment. In fact, he was not convinced by Yang Ying, but now he had no better way, so he nodded and said: "The general is willing to obey the command of the consort."
"Okay!" Yang Ying ordered: "Send a team of 100 people to protect the princess and the young and old in the East Palace. Follow the team. I will open the way in front and we will kill together towards Prince Qin's Mansion."
"yes!"
"Prince Zhongshan, you have to follow me and let everyone see you, because you are now the backbone of the East Palace."
"Ah?" Li Qiyuan was startled: He really didn't dare to charge with the army!
Yang Ying did not allow him to dare: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely protect you."
With Yang Wanjun, a general who was familiar with the East Palace Guards, excluding the 100 people who protected the young and old, the remaining 1,400 people quickly formed a battle formation and opened the gate of the East Palace.
The Zongdao deputy general was originally frightened, but when he saw Yang Ying and his group retreating into the East Palace, he did not evacuate. Instead, he directly set up a formation outside the East Palace, surrounded the East Palace, and at the same time asked someone to notify Li Cheng. Tyrant.
"Hula hula".
Yang Ying led the team and walked neatly outside the gate of the East Palace. He was not in a hurry to charge until all 1,400 people walked out of the East Palace.
"Consort Yang, what do you want to do? Do you want to rush out?"
