The rebellion in Tai Chi Palace was already in full swing. At this time, there were only Mu Sheng and Yu'er in the side hall of the outer palace. Originally, Yang Liu wanted to drag Mu Sheng and Yu'er to the inner palace to escape, but Mu Sheng refused. .
Seeing that the outer palace city was destroyed, Yang Liu had no choice but to flee for his life alone. Mu Shengqiang stayed with Yu'er to stay with him. In fact, she was safest staying with him.
Mu Sheng thought about it over and over, but still didn't want to wade into this muddy water. They were making trouble for them, and he was an old monster-level master. What did he have to be afraid of? If it really doesn't work, it's okay to run away.
The Four Phases Return to One Realm is not completely invincible. One's own spiritual power is still limited. It is impossible for one person to rush out and defeat ten thousand people. This is not a lawn mowing game. No matter how strong one's personal ability is, there is an upper limit.
But having said that, it seems that it is not impossible if the Que is activated, but the killing is too heavy and goes against Mu Sheng's original intention. He cannot be so ruthless and careless about human life. Most importantly, it is not conducive to him hiding himself. strength.
By now, Mu Sheng had probably guessed that there was a coup outside. No matter who won, don't think of him. After the rebellion subsided, he would sneak back to the capital with Yu'er and take the beauties away. In a foreign country, the people of Shanpupu are still waiting for him. What does this flood have to do with him now?
At this moment, Mu Sheng's heart moved. The barrier outside the room had been forcibly broken, and the door was kicked open.
The prince led everyone into Young Master Sheng's room. Seeing this, Yu'er shivered with fright. Mu Sheng quickly hugged her body and made a silent gesture...
At this time, Mu Sheng had already pulled Yu'er and disappeared into the void. There shouldn't be any very powerful monks in their group. It would be difficult to find him. Old monster-level monks are very rare in the entire cultivation world, and he didn't. I feel that the prince can recruit such masters to serve him, and it will be almost as good as if the prince were the emperor.
Sure enough, one of the master-level monks with the black scarf wrapped around his head was guarding the prince. When Mu Sheng saw it, he was actually an acquaintance of Ma Yuan, his teammate who defeated the female devil Hua Zilan. They actually met each other at war...
There were two master-level monks beside the prince who were guarding the prince with magic weapons. They obviously knew that Mr. Sheng was a monk and did not dare to rush in rashly, but they were fully prepared.
After the prince entered the door, he saw no one at first glance? Is it strange that he ran away? According to the prisoner, he did not see Mr. Sheng go out.
The prince waved his hand and ordered: "I will search carefully. If you want to see the person alive, you will see the body if you die."
All the soldiers rushed in like wolves and tigers, rummaged through the room and searched the room for almost three feet. They didn't find a hair. Among them, the black-turbaned monk Ma Yuan also came over and searched the room carefully with his spiritual consciousness. Nothing was found.
Ma Yuan passed by him several times, as if he didn't see anyone. Seeing his expression of frowning thoughtfully but not finding anything, Mu Sheng was secretly amused. Ma Yuan didn't find anything, so he had to go back. The prince beside him shook his head.
At this moment, a rebel soldier came and reported: "Your Highness, the main gate of the inner palace has been breached. Please come and take charge of the overall situation."
The prince's face was gloomy, and his heart moved. It seemed that he had used some method to escape in advance. Forget it, he was insignificant now and could not have any impact on the situation. He waved his hand and turned around and left.
The soldiers rushed in and rummaged around again to see if there was any valuable property that could be looted. After searching for half of it, there was nothing good. The previous wave of people had already looted everything in the name of search, so they had no choice but to slam the door and leave with curses. went……
When Mu Sheng saw that all the rebels had left, he showed his figure and took the frightened Yu'er to the inner room. With a wave of his hand, he used the soul separation technique to fly out countless spiritual bodies to sort out the room that they had messed up. After a while, he After packing it up, Yu'er looked at it with an incredible expression on his face...
Yu'er stared at Mu Sheng with burning eyes and asked, "Master, are you a god?"
Mu Sheng smiled and said: "Yu'er, there have never been gods in this world. I just did things that ordinary people can't do, so I was mistaken for a god. We monks just understood Ying Yue's Law." We are just a group of people. Compared with the legendary gods who can move mountains and reclaim seas, we are just ordinary people..."
Yu'er said thoughtfully: "Since you have such ability, Master, why don't you help His Majesty to quell the chaos? After the death of the Crown Prince, perhaps the Master will have a chance to take over the throne?"
Mu Sheng smiled and took out the imperial edict from his arms and handed it to her.
Seeing that Yu'er had finished reading ten lines at a glance, Mu Sheng said:
"Do you understand? Your Majesty has never thought of passing the throne to me. With my qualifications and popularity, even if I have this ability to protect others, I will only make wedding clothes for others. I might as well wait here and watch the show. , do you understand that you can sit on a mountain and watch tigers fight?"
Yu'er worriedly said: "Then what if the prince succeeds? Looking at him like this, it seems that he will not let you go easily."
Mu Sheng took the opportunity to kiss her and said: "What are you afraid of? His gang can't do anything to me. Besides, His Majesty is not a fool, and I don't think His Highness the Crown Prince's chance of winning will be higher. So, let's do it this way." Leave them alone, I will take you far away now."
Yu'er wondered: "But the slave has been registered in the palace. If he runs away directly, his family will be killed. So can we wait until the soldiers disperse and say hello to the palace? The master is taking the slave away?"
When Mu Sheng thought that what she said made sense, he nodded in agreement. It wouldn't be too late to leave when the situation became clearer. No one could stop him anyway. Young Master Sheng was as steady as an old dog.
At this time, in the mountains and forests outside Qingyang City, Mr. An Guojun was wearing armor and riding a tall horse. His confidant Wei Man was also following him. I don’t know how they sneaked out of Qingyang. Behind them were three people who had been prepared for a long time. Hundreds of dead soldiers are preparing to go to Tai Chi Palace to "rescue" him.
Young Master Xiu said: "Wei Man, do you think the time has come now?"
Wei Man nodded and said: "Sir, it's almost time. The Northern Army soldiers will arrive at Tai Chi Palace in half an hour. We have to hurry up to join the Northern Army soldiers. By this time, the Crown Prince must have also invaded the inner palace."
Young Master Xiu was worried: "Will the prince attack the emperor?"
Wei Man said: "Young Master, don't worry. If His Majesty is still alive, the Prince will definitely not lose his mind and openly kill the king. This will not be explained to the servants. If he is smarter, he will definitely hold his son hostage to order the princes. In that way, everyone will They will all throw a wrench at him."
"The Crown Prince has a legitimate name. If he seizes power by holding him hostage, it will be very smooth. If the Crown Prince takes the Taiji Palace and finds out that His Majesty has been promoted long ago, then we are here to win over the soldiers of the Northern Camp, especially the commander of the Northern Army who is loyal to His Majesty, the Colonel of the Guards. Cheng Pu, let him believe that His Majesty was killed by the Crown Prince, so that we can be justified in suppressing the Crown Prince's rebellion, and we must not give the Crown Prince a chance to come back."
Young Master Xiu said: "Does Captain Cheng believe that the Crown Prince is the regicide?"
Wei Man squinted his eyes and said: "He was originally ordered to suppress the rebellion. If it is found that His Majesty has gone, even for his own interests, he will most likely be attracted by the Crown Prince. We must rush to the Crown Prince by then. I am serving Xiaowei Cheng, Your Majesty was killed by the Crown Prince. As long as the Crown Prince cannot stand up, we will be safe. No matter who takes the throne, he will definitely have to win over him first. As long as he is not stupid, he will know how to settle this account. "
Young Master Xiu said: "How can we convince Colonel Cheng to be on our side?"
Wei Mandao: "As long as the price is high enough, he will be tempted. Besides, we still have a first-mover advantage. What about Taiwei, one of the three princes? Plus a Marquis of Wanhu, Cheng Xiaowei has not been made a marquis since he joined the army. He It will be exciting.”
Young Master Xiu twitched his lips, nodded slightly and said: "Okay! Okay! If His Majesty is still alive, and the Crown Prince has not held His Majesty hostage, then we are the righteous men who went to rescue Him. If we have done a good job in protecting Him, my status in Your Majesty's heart will also be important." The large number will also be a powerful bonus for us to seize the crown prince's position in the future. Regardless of whether His Majesty is alive or not, we will remain invincible..."
Wei Man praised: "Young Master is very good. What we are going to face next will not be easy. We must act according to the circumstances."
After hearing this, Young Master Xiu nodded and waved his hand, and everyone drew their horses and ran towards the Tai Chi Palace...
In the Taiji Palace, the prince led Guo Huan's two thousand elite soldiers and rushed to the emperor's palace, Wanshou Palace. The rebels did not encounter any decent resistance along the way. The remaining mob entered the inner palace as if they had entered a treasure house. They dispersed, burning, killing, looting and raping palace maids everywhere.
The palace was full of screams. Seeing the chaos in the palace, the prince called Qin Shao to restrain military discipline.
The prince ordered: "Qin Shao, call the chief officers of each team immediately to restrain these gangsters."
Qin Shao added: "Your Highness, this group of people is a temporary gathering of people. Many of them are still gangsters in the city. They can work hard to get here, and they have already given us a lot of face. If they were ordered to restrain them, it might not be possible." These desperadoes will still fight back, please be aware of this, Your Highness."
When the prince thought that his words were indeed reasonable, he took back his orders. It was more important to do business. He stepped forward and opened the door of Wanshou Palace and entered the emperor's palace. As soon as he entered, he was stunned. There was only his teacher Cui Yan and Cui Xiangguo. Wait here.
The prince immediately rushed forward and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Cui Yan and said: "Teacher, the student thought that you had been poisoned by Mr. Huo, but I didn't expect that you are still alive."
Cui Yan was filled with emotion for a moment, and quickly helped the prince up and said: "Your Highness, I didn't expect that you and I would meet each other. Alas! The prince is too late. He immediately followed me to intercept your majesty. What's the problem? I will explain it to you on the way..."
The prince was shocked: "What? Father is still alive? Then we..."
Cui Yan didn't wait for the prince to finish speaking, so he picked up the prince and ran towards the back mountain. Along the way, Cui Yan probably explained the cause and effect to the prince. Only then did they realize that there might be a misunderstanding, and they vaguely felt Someone may be taking advantage of them, but now there is no turning back...
Especially Liu and Qin were shocked and confused when they heard that the emperor was still alive.
The prince lost his mind and muttered to himself: "Your Majesty is still alive...what can we do?"
Cui Yan roared: "Prince, it's already here, why are you still hesitating? We can only make mistakes. The key is to keep the emperor in our hands first. There are hundreds of lieutenants around the emperor, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
At this time, Liu Yu also woke up from a dream and agreed: "The Prime Minister has done the right thing. It's too late now. It's better to risk everything and hold the princes hostage. In this way, we can turn passivity into initiative."
After hearing this, Qin Shao also advised: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, since Your Majesty is still alive, we simply let Your Majesty become the Supreme Emperor. There is already a cliff behind us, and we have no way out..."
