Swish, swish, swish!
Thirty secret guards descended from the sky and surrounded Chen Guogong.
The situation changed again, and all the officials were stunned.
There are two foxes, one old and one young, one more sinister than the other.
At this moment, Chen Guogong was trapped in a tight siege with his sword in hand, and he seemed to be at the end of his battle.
The empress separated from the ministers, came to Zhao An, and sneered: "Ms. Chen, if you don't restrain your hands, how long will it take?"
Chen Guogong laughed loudly when he heard this, "Little emperor, I am not as good as others. You can kill or behead me as you please. But if you want me to bend my knees, don't you even think about it?"
"Stubborn! Kill him!"
The empress ordered decisively.
Thirty secret guards rose up and moved, swords and swords flashed by.
Chen Guogong was even more powerful than expected, and the sword flash reversed, just like a pear blossom rainstorm that was as tight as the wind.
In the blink of an eye, several secret guards were chopped to the ground, bleeding like rivers.
All the officials were frightened and shouted to protect him.
However, under the siege, Chen Guogong gradually suffered wounds and was covered in blood.
Chen Yuru looked at her father quietly, with no expression of sadness or joy on her fair face.
Chang Ming glanced at her and whispered: "Do you want me to take action and capture them alive?"
Chen Yuru paused, shook her head and said, "No need, as long as I am here, Mrs. Chen will be there."
She was an ambitious woman who didn't care much about the consequences of her actions. From the day she made the decision with her father, she had thought about what would happen today.
As a daughter, the only thing she can do is to wait for the ending, then collect her father's body and pay homage to Chen.
"kill!"
There were constant killing sounds in the inner hall.
The dead soldiers outside the palace also charged desperately.
Zhao An held the dragon bird tightly and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Chen Guogong was seriously injured. Under the attack of the secret guards, his wounds were deep enough to the bone, but he did not have any intention of retreating. It seemed that he really planned to confess here.
Could it be...
"He is not Chen Guogong!" Zhao An shouted in ecstasy.
The whole place was dead silent.
In the scene, Duke Chen Guo smiled evilly while leaning on his knife, "Eunuch Zhao is extremely smart, and he finally figured it out? Who is my master? How could he be in danger himself?"
"Are you Shi Donghai?" Zhao An scolded him with a frown. The latter tore off the human skin mask and it turned out to be Xiao Gui Gu Shi Donghai.
He has been following Chen Guogong all year round, and his imitation was so lifelike that no one recognized him immediately!
The empress froze. Zhao An looked directly at the arrogant man, "Mr. Shi, is it worth it to pave the way for the Chen family with your own life?"
"Whether it's worth it or not, my husband is the one destined by fate. You are just lucky."
"Where is Chen Guogong?"
Zhao An had a smile on his lips and his mind was working rapidly, thinking about Chen's actions.
With Chen Guogong's sophisticated calculations, knowing that the queen was wooing the direct descendants of the Chen family, he could not be unprepared. So how could he force the palace by giving up the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and the dead soldiers?
Just as he was thinking about it, the Imperial Guards came rushing in from outside: "Your Majesty, something is wrong. The Chen family and Marquis Feilong are coming to kill you. All the forces of the four gates and five armies of the Governor's Mansion have surrendered."
"What!"
The empress was shocked when she heard this.
However, Zhao An understood what was going on. He wanted to capture the direct generals of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, so he used their wives and children as hostages. In this way, it seemed that he was in danger, but in fact, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion was still under the control of the Chen family. .
As expected of an old fox, he was very meticulous this time and had already arranged everything to deal with emergencies.
Letting Shi Donghai pretend to be him is just to lure out the rebellious direct descendants who have taken refuge with Chen Yuru. After clearing the hidden dangers, they can suppress the territory with a large army and completely control the Forbidden Court without causing any more trouble.
Zhao An frowned and stared at Shi Donghai. Shi Donghai covered his wound and smiled: "Eunuch Zhao, are you satisfied with this round?"
"Mr. Shi is too happy too early."
Zhao An asked An Hei to continue his attack and capture the grandson first, then signaled the empress and the ministers to leave the main hall and retreat into the harem.
It will take some time to counterattack now.
The empress didn't know why, but she could only follow Zhao An's instructions and retreat to the harem with her ministers.
The harem was in chaos.
The concubines, eunuchs and maids all ran out, but Cining Palace was as quiet as ever.
In the open space, the concubines surrounded the empress and cried, and the sobs kept coming.
They wanted to know what happened and why there was so much noise outside the palace.
All the officials were also panicked. Some officials' legs and feet were trembling, and they seemed to be ready to surrender to Chen Guogong.
Outside Xuanwu Gate.
Duke Chen Guogong and Chen Yuan rode majestic horses, and Marquis Feilong was even more arrogant with his long sword.
Five thousand soldiers surrounded the palace, and the commotion had stopped.
Chen Yuan said excitedly: "Father, let's go in. As long as we kill the little emperor, the world will belong to our Chen family."
"Is Zhao An in the palace?" Chen Guogong asked coldly, and Chen Yuan subconsciously said: "That boy didn't go to Zhou Qing's invitation. It seemed that he had determined early on that we would take action today... But it doesn't matter. In the face of Huanghuang's general trend, he How can a eunuch cause trouble?"
Chen Guogong frowned when he heard this.
Based on his understanding of Zhao An, Zhao An was definitely not the kind of person who would just sit back and wait for death.
"What is father worried about? Could it be that he is worried about using explosives? We have all investigated and found that there are no explosives in the harem. It was the news that the boy deliberately released to prevent us from forcing the palace. Now that he has suddenly attacked, he has no time to prepare."
Chen Yuan is very confident in today's action.
Chen Guogong was still speechless.
Marquis Feilong asked in confusion: "Your Excellency, do you still have doubts?"
"I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy. Qianyu is in charge of the new city, but I have a garrison in the new city, so Qianyu shouldn't be able to get through."
"Your Excellency, once you take down the emperor and kill Zhao An, you can do whatever you want with Qian Qianyu. There is nothing to be afraid of."
Fei Longhou seemed to be impatient to wait, fearing a long night and many dreams.
"Okay, the whole army..."
Chen Guogong waved his three-foot sword and gave the order. Suddenly it started to rain, and everyone got wet.
"What it is?"
When he looked up, he saw several huge balls flying in the sky, more than ten feet above the ground.
Everyone present was stunned, especially some sergeants who were currently blocked in the corridor of Xuanwumen, and the team was crowded.
Wow!
More and more strange liquid was poured down, and it even had a smell.
Chen Guogong felt something was wrong and immediately shouted, "Shoot it down for me!"
"yes!"
A row of crossbowmen drew their bows and shot arrows, but the distance was too high and they couldn't shoot at all. Even if the arrowheads flew to that height, they would be ineffective. Even in the basket below the "big hanging ball", someone grabbed the arrowheads and lit them on fire. The arrowhead was thrown away.
In everyone's stunned eyes, the arrowhead stained with fire fell from the sky. The second it fell into the crowd, there was a loud bang and flames shooting into the sky!
Xuanwumen turned directly into purgatory. The sergeants crowded in the long corridor had no way to advance or retreat, and were burned alive on the spot.
