But at this time, it was obviously too late to warn.
Amidst the sound of weapons clashing, more than a dozen forbidden troops were instantly overwhelmed by the sea of people.
"Kill -" A general raised his sword high.
The dark Qin army is countless, like the tide.
The Imperial Guards near the palace gate received the warning and hurried over. When the two sides met, they fought each other without saying a word.
The land of Qin is bitterly cold, and there are many strong soldiers, and the soldiers fight bravely. Especially such fierce and chaotic face-to-face battles, in the eyes of the Qin people, they are the heads of people who have won merit.
Under the ferocious momentum, it didn't take long for the imperial army to start fighting and retreating. While the front retreated, the rear came in large numbers, and the scene became chaotic for a time.
Blood splattered on the palace walls, and corpses spread from the inner wall passage into the palace.
The Chu Palace was very large, and there was a battle near the palace gate. It was impossible to hear any movement from the harem. At this time, the Chu King was still sleeping.
It wasn't until a long time later that the leader of the Black Flag Battalion, Jiang Bei, hurried over.
This is the land of the harem. Normally, in the middle of the night, how could the courtiers break in? But the situation is urgent now. Jiang Gu didn't care much. He pushed away the eunuchs and attendants outside and strode in to the palace door. He raised his hand and slapped hard: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
King Chu was awakened by such a commotion, and when he heard the voice of Jiang Bei, he felt displeased and shouted angrily: "Are there any rules?"
"It's not good, my king!" Jiang Gu continued to shout urgently: "The Qin army has already entered the palace!"
"What!?" After hearing this, King Chu lost his drowsiness and got out of bed in a panic. After opening the door, he asked anxiously while getting dressed: "There are 30,000 troops stationed in Chuzhou. How did the Qin army enter the royal city? "
"This, this, I don't know." Jiang Bu also looked anxious.
oops! The King of Chu screamed sadly. He knew in his heart that as the commander of the Black Flag Battalion, Jiang Gu would never joke about such a thing. After tying the ribbon indiscriminately, he started to leave.
But Jiang Gu stopped him and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the palace gate has been captured long ago. When the ministers come, the imperial army can no longer withstand it. You can't go there."
"Then what do you think we should do?" King Chu stopped at his feet.
"It is no longer suitable to stay here for a long time. For the current plan, we have to leave the palace first before making other plans." As he spoke, Jiang Gu also took out a set of clothes that he had prepared long ago and said seriously: "Please put it on, Your Majesty. Let’s take advantage of the chaos and leave.”
"What?" King Chu frowned, looked at the clothes in front of him, and said angrily: "You let me pretend to be a eunuch!?"
"Oh my king." Jiang Gu said anxiously: "This is just a temporary grievance. If you were wearing royal clothes..."
"No!" King Chu raised his hand and interrupted him: "I would rather die than suffer this humiliation!"
"Your Majesty, this is a bad idea, but as the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. Only when we get out of the royal city can we have hope of restoring our country..." Jiang Bu advised.
"Restore the country..." King Chu murmured, as if he suddenly remembered something, his eyes sternly said: "Quick! Take the prince away! The further away, the better!"
ah? Jiang Bei didn't react for a while, and said in a daze: "Then your Majesty..."
"If I don't leave, there will be no way out." King Chu said quietly: "But the prince is different. With your assistance and the Chu country's background, sooner or later, Chu will be able to recover!"
This may be his last hope, and in that era, people pay attention to the integrity of the name. The Prince of Chu is the orthodox prince of the Chu Kingdom. If he is exiled, given time, he can raise his arms and shout loudly, and get the support of the old nobles of Chu Kingdom.
"But your Majesty!" Jiang Gu wanted to persuade him again. His loyalty was unquestionable. He had been an orphan since he was a child, and his life was given by the King of Chu.
"Commander Jiang!" At this moment, King Chu lost his usual panic and said with a serious face: "You must understand that the prince is the hope of the Chu country! This is the last royal order from this king to you! You must protect the prince. Zhou Quan! If possible, go to the Spirit Kingdom!"
When he spoke like this, Jiang Bei's eyes turned red, and he clasped his fists in a loud voice and said, "Yes! I will live up to the king's trust!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left quickly.
Looking at his back, King Chu took a deep breath, then returned to the house, put on his royal crown, carefully arranged it, fastened the royal robe and ribbon, and then took off the King Chu sword hanging on the wall, then turned around and left.
But as soon as he moved, Concubine Chu Rong, who was half out of bed, called out to him: "Your Majesty."
Nanshui is gentle and has many beauties, especially Concubine Rong. She is charming and charming. Now she has just woken up, she is not yet dressed, she is white and half exposed, with a frightened look, she is very pitiful.
The King of Chu turned around. Such a charming beauty would soon fall into the hands of the Qin army...
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly shrank.
Concubine Rong also said softly again: "Where are you going, Your Majesty? Do you want to leave my concubine behind?"
"How could it be? My beloved, you are worrying too much." King Chu came back to his senses, forced a smile, and walked towards the bed.
Seeing this, Concubine Rong was about to stand up to meet him, but the sound of a sharp sword being unsheathed was heard, and with a flash of cold light, the sword's edge hit her chest.
"Your Majesty..." Blood flowed from her mouth, her eyes were filled with tears, and her face was full of disbelief.
"My beloved concubine, don't blame me. I, the king, have no choice." King Chu gritted his teeth and drew back the king's sword.
There was a muffled groan, and Concubine Rong collapsed on the bed. Before she died, she was still reaching for King Chu, her red lips moved slightly, and wanted to say something, but a sword pierced her heart, and she was no longer weak.
Looking at her with red eyes, King Chu turned around and strode away with a cruel heart.
The battle in the palace was still going on, from late at night to dawn, fighting directly from the palace gate to the inside of the palace. The 10,000 forbidden troops had long been defeated, and corpses and splattered blood could be seen everywhere.
In the chaos, palace maids and eunuchs were running around for their lives, screaming.
Su Yi was wearing a general's armor, a cape on his back, and a sword hanging on his waist. He glanced indifferently and said, "Kill them all."
Following this order, the killings began. No matter the maids, eunuchs, or everyone in the palace, they all died tragically under the sword.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the gate of the main meeting hall.
The remaining imperial army protected the King of Chu behind them, each holding a long halberd, looking like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Countless Qin troops are swarming up the hundred steps to attack.
Seeing this situation, the imperial army couldn't help but retreat continuously. King Chu drew out the royal sword from his waist and let out a final roar:
"Kill! Fight for the country——"
At the same time, people were everywhere on the streets of Chuzhou.
A large number of Qin army officers and soldiers continued to form, divided into several groups, and were running forward.
The whole city is covered in black armor and red tassels.
All that could be heard was the sound of neat infantry running.
Although it was already dawn, the people of Chuzhou did not dare to go out. Their doors and windows were closed.
