"Boom!" sounded like a thunder above everyone's heads.
Prince Li Jiancheng glanced at the guards in front of the palace, with a murderous look on his face!
The leader of the guards looked at the situation in front of the palace and knew that he and others could not defeat the prince, so he had no choice but to wave his hand and lead his people to quickly evacuate to the other side of the lake.
If they can't defeat the vicious Crown Prince, they can go to the other side of the lake to warn the emperor.
Several guards in black followed Li Yuanji and walked out of Linhu Palace!
Looking at Li Yuanji rushing out, Li Jiancheng's heart skipped a beat, knowing that today was not a good day and he was afraid that he might have been tricked by his opponent.
The matter was indeed very troublesome. Li Yuanji rushed over and whispered a few words in his brother's ear. The prince's face became more and more serious, thinking that he was still careless.
The concubines he arranged in the palace were used as hidden clues, but he didn't expect that they would be used today.
At this moment, a roar suddenly erupted from outside a hall hundreds of feet away from Linhu Palace, as well as the clanging sound of swords being unsheathed.
As the prince, Li Jiancheng felt something was wrong. He was afraid that the imperial guards in the palace would come and kill him, so he immediately ordered: "Let's go, leave from Xuanwu Gate immediately and go out of the city."
With a clang sound, Li Yuanji inserted the long sword stained with blood into the scabbard with his backhand.
He shouted: "Brothers, let's rush out together!"
So, Prince Li Jiancheng and a group of guards dressed in black rushed out of the palace quickly.
The imperial guards in the palace looked at the prince and his entourage with weapons in hand as if facing a formidable enemy, without even blinking.
Although the imperial guards received the order from King Qin, they did not receive the emperor's decree, so no one dared to take action and could only watch the group leave.
[In view of the general environment,
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned back and glanced at the Imperial Guards coldly as he left. Just a cold look shocked the minds of many people.
The prince entered the palace today and only brought dozens of people with him, not because he was arrogant, but because people like him never bothered to make enemies of the imperial guards in the palace.
He must leave most of his strength outside the palace to face unpredictable dangers.
Chang'an is too big, and as the prince, Li Jiancheng has too many aspects to take care of.
Seeing that his younger brother, King Qin, was becoming more powerful day by day, even if he controlled part of the imperial army in the palace, the army of the Tang Dynasty was still in the hands of King Qin.
Until now, the emperor has not been able to take it back.
The actions of the Imperial Army today were as expected by the fourth brother Li Yuanji, and part of them had already been controlled by the King of Qin.
In his opinion, these people just did not receive the emperor's order and did not dare to act rashly.
Tathagata was as fast as he came, and the group left Linhu Palace quickly, just thinking of getting out of the palace as quickly as possible.
As long as they return to the camp outside the city, even the King of Qin, who holds military power, will be unable to do anything to the two brothers.
After all, the prince also has his own army.
Just as His Royal Highness the Prince left in a hurry with his guards, a brave eunuch in front of Linhu Palace finally lit the fireworks in the hands of the dead old eunuch.
With a sound of "Bang!", a gorgeous firework bloomed in the sky of the palace, not only alarming the imperial guards in the palace, but also King Qin and others outside the palace witnessed this scene.
The fireworks bloomed so brightly and brilliantly that they illuminated half of the imperial city in an instant.
The signal coming from the palace was the fireworks specially made by King Qin for today's battle.
The moment it bloomed in the sky, it had already sent a signal to King Qin and others who were guarding outside the palace to take action.
In the restaurant, Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting by the window, looked at the brilliant fireworks in the sky and sighed quietly.
Looking at the old man facing him, he said, "This kind of internal fighting with swords facing each other is not the story I want to see."
The old man smiled lightly: "Where there is power, there will be fights. This is what I have learned after decades of ups and downs.
The result, although brutal. "
Looking at the fireworks gradually extinguishing in the sky, Li Xiuyuan naturally knew this truth.
Even though he knew the final result, he still couldn't help but look towards the palace with his consciousness...
Not far outside Xuanwu Gate, King Qin looked up at the fireworks arrow that pierced the sky, his face suddenly turned cold.
Beside him were Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin, Liu Shili and others, all in armor and fully armed, as well as the soldiers of the King of Qin.
In King Qin's opinion, today's battle is just to get back what should belong to him.
Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Jingde, who also had gloomy expressions, recalled the scene in Prince Qin's mansion not long ago.
Although the King of Qin has been away fighting for many years, he still has some knowledge of the situation inside the court.
When King Qin learned that his brother Li Jiancheng was going to attack him, he decided to strike preemptively.
However, what to do with the prince and prince Yuan Ji after the incident is completed is the biggest concern of King Qin's soldiers. No one dares to take such a big risk.
After all, the emperor is still here. If he really turns his back, he may have to face the current emperor.
Seeing everyone's worried expressions, King Qin asked, "Do you have any good suggestions? Although, I will decide whether to implement them in the end, and I won't embarrass you."
So a group of subordinates came up with the idea that once the matter was accomplished, they would imprison Prince Jiancheng and his main accomplices to prevent these princes from interfering in the government affairs.
When King Qin heard this, he immediately shouted: "The prince is obsessed with things. Imprisoning him will not solve the problem, not to mention that she is not clear with the concubines around her father..."
As soon as King Qin said these words, all the soldiers understood his thoughts instantly.
So Changsun Wuji proposed to create a false impression and ask the emperor's concubine Zhang to send a message to the prince, forcing Li Jiancheng and others to enter the palace, and then wait for an opportunity to ambush and kill them.
After hearing this, King Qin's frown gradually relaxed.
This was a huge matter, and he was worried about whoever came forward. After discussing with the generals, they decided to personally lead the team to ambush outside Xuanwu Gate.
For safety, he also brought along Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde and others who were loyal to him...
A gust of wind passed by, picking up the fallen leaves on the ground and heading towards King Qin.
Looking at the palace in the wind, a group of soldiers frowned tightly, waiting for a decisive battle to come.
…
The corner tower of the palace seemed a bit empty.
A group of black-clothed guards led by His Highness the Crown Prince slashed out their swords and directly cut down several forbidden soldiers who were trying to pull away. The blood on the ground spread instantly.
Seeing that the prince was rioting and trying to cause trouble to the palace, the general of the imperial army immediately issued an order to attack: "Kill them!"
Suddenly, more than a dozen forbidden troops rushed out of the palace, and in just a blink of an eye, they started a bloody fight with the prince's decades-old guards.
It's just that the current Forbidden Army soldiers are no match for the prince's wolf-like guards. Before they can react, they become the dead souls under the swords of dozens of black-clad guards.
The imperial army wanted to block the prince and others in the inner courtyard of the palace, waiting for the emperor to issue an order to quell the chaos.
At this time, Prince Jiancheng just wanted to lead his men out of the palace and out of the imperial city.
The murderer and the slain were once soldiers of the same side. They once fought against the enemy on the battlefield together and blocked each other's arrows. Today, they have to face each other with swords just to survive.
However, what was different in front of him was that His Highness the Crown Prince's black-clothed guards were massacring the Forbidden Army, an extremely ruthless massacre.
It didn't take long for the black-clothed guards who were loyal to the prince to sweep away a large area in front of the Xuanwu Gate of the palace. Countless dead imperial soldiers fell with blood, and their murderous intent surged into the sky.
The faces of the Imperial Guards were not pretty. They also knew that today was a fight between their own people.
(M..COM) There were heavy casualties and the palace gate had to be abandoned.
This allowed the Crown Prince and his entourage to rush out of the inner courtyard of the palace.
An iron arrow passed through the palace gate and headed not far away
Fly to the archway, where there are soldiers of the Qin government showing their heads.
A firework pierced the sky and bloomed in the sky above the imperial city. Although it was only brilliant for a moment, it shocked many people who were interested.
The prince saw several soldiers hiding behind the archway from a distance, and he immediately shot them with an arrow in anger.
Just hearing the sound of "Ah...", the soldier who was hit by the arrow fell down on the spot.
At the same time, the hundreds of guards who stayed in the Prince's Mansion also saw the fireworks. The fireworks bloomed over the palace, which meant that the master's appearance was unexpected.
There were guards who were watching the movement outside the palace and were shocked to find that a large number of soldiers in armor were approaching the prince's palace.
So the guards, who had been trained for hundreds of years, were immediately fully armed, rushed out from the back door of the Prince's Mansion, and rushed towards the Xuanwu Gate.
They knew that they were going to pick up His Royal Highness and his entourage and head to the camp outside the city.
There was a frightening sound of fighting. After a few screams and a burst of noise, the soldiers from Prince Qin's palace rushed into the prince's palace.
In just half an hour, the Prince's Mansion of the Tang Empire was completely controlled.
The black-clothed guards and the panicked family members who stayed at the prince's residence couldn't help but feel chilled to their hearts when they saw the scene in front of them, and a group of women screamed in surprise.
Fortunately, the soldiers in Prince Qin's Mansion only took control of the Prince's Mansion. They only killed the resisting guards and did not attack a group of family members.
Outside the palace gate, the prince looked at Li Yuanji and said, "How long will it take for us to rush out of the imperial city?"
"If the guards at the mansion see the signal and come, we will have one hour at most."
Li Yuanji said coldly: "It will take about four or five days for King Qin's army to arrive. We can immediately counterattack and capture the imperial city."
"Wait a moment, the guards of the mansion should come with their horses to meet us."
The prince said coldly: "As long as we have people and horses, we can rush out of the imperial city as quickly as possible, and no one can stop us."
Li Yuanji replied: "Yes, in this way we can fight back."
The prince slapped the palace gate behind him and roared: "When we enter the city with our army, we will kill all those who caused riot today!"
Just a firework flew into the sky, and the imperial city suddenly fell into chaos.
Both King Qin's men and the prince's direct descendants knew that today would be a life-and-death struggle, and they must not show any mercy.
What is strange is that the prince who had rushed out of the palace did not immediately rush towards the direction where King Qin was ambush, but quietly relied on the low walls outside the palace for cover.
It seems that they are waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from their own side.
Li Yuanji looked at the empty long street and said anxiously: "Why haven't our people come yet!"
Behind the archway not far from Xuanwu Gate, King Qin, who was dressed in armor, looked in the direction of the palace and remained silent. He and a group of his subordinates were also waiting, waiting for the prince and his entourage to rush over.
Changsun Wuji, who was behind him, couldn't help but ask: "Will they retreat back to the palace?"
King Qin shook his head and replied quietly: "They are scared out of their wits. They probably just want to rush out of the imperial city and go to the prince's military camp."
Yuchi Jingde was even more anxious. He looked at King Qin and roared: "If that doesn't work, let me rush over with a team of people and tie them all up."
Hong Yuanhai in the restaurant shook his head and calmly added tea to their glasses.
Li Xiuyuan silently looked at the scene in front of Xuanwu Gate and said to the old man in front of him: "We are from the same roots, so why be too hasty!"
