When Hu Dayou led the guards to the emperor's palace, he faintly noticed something was wrong, but what exactly was the problem? Hu Dayou tried his best to suppress his uneasy thoughts. He felt that his inner fear might be causing his uneasiness about the environment, so Hu Dayou turned his head and shouted to the guards: "Brothers, follow me quickly."
A large group of people accelerated their pace, and after a long time, they finally arrived in front of the emperor's palace. The stern palace was tall and majestic, the top of the spacious verandah was filled with golden moonlight, and candlelight flickered in the reticulated windows.
The Jinwu Guards had already surrounded the palace, and then more than two hundred archers, with their bows and arrows drawn, lined up in front of the silver gunners, less than twenty steps away from the palace.
When Hu Dayou saw that the battle had been set, he quickly moved his horse forward and carefully looked at the movements in the palace. Just when he was about to shout, he suddenly hesitated. There was such a big movement among his guards, why didn't anyone inside come out to answer? Hu Dayou couldn't care about anything else. He pulled the horse's bridle and shouted loudly at the door of the palace: "Your Majesty, a group of assassins broke into the palace just now. General Hu Dayou of the Jinwu Guard came here to rescue them!"
Hu Dayou shouted loudly, but there was no response in the room, and there was only a deathly silence. Hu Dayou became anxious. It was impossible. How could there be no one in the bedroom? Although there are many palaces in the palace where the Han Emperor lived, as well as the residences of his concubines, Hu Dayou asked the Han Emperor’s personal eunuch about this place tonight in advance. This is definitely where the Han Emperor will go tonight! Could it be that... Hu Dayou didn't dare to think any more, and waved to a young general behind the horse to come up, and ordered: "Take a few people in to see what's going on inside!"
The young general made another sign of five to the team behind him, and then five guards holding bright silver guns came to the young general in neat formation.
The six guards walked side by side and cautiously walked towards the gate of the palace. When they saw the gate, one of them boldly kicked the door open. The door flew open, and the six of them seemed to feel a gust of cold wind suddenly coming towards them. Come. When the six people stepped forward to the door, the candlelight in the room suddenly went dark, and the door of the palace was closed again. While Hu Dayou was stunned, a scream came from the palace, and then the candlelight in the room came on again.
Hu Dayou suddenly understood that he must have been ambushed, but how could this be possible? Who leaked the news? In addition to himself, there were King Wei, Du Zongting, Zhang Kan, and the eight assassins in disguise. No one else knew about this matter. Even the brothers of Jinwu Guard thought they were really chasing the assassins. At this time, he could no longer think so much and gave the order, "Fire the arrow!"
In an instant, the arrow hit the locust, and the whistling sound of arrow feathers went straight to the palace. At this time, the candlelight in the palace went out again. After the first round of attacks, there was still no movement in the house. Hu Dayou became anxious and shouted inside: "The assassins inside, get out quickly. If they don't surrender, we will fight in."
After Hu Dayou shouted for a while, there was another round of silence. It seemed that the other party came prepared. Did he come prepared? So who is this opponent? Hu Dayou's right hand holding the gun began to sweat. After calming down, Hu Dayou quickly changed the gun to his left hand, and then ordered: "Archer, shoot the arrow!"
"Swish, swish, swish" arrows rained down, and the second wave of bow and arrow attacks once again received no response. In the dark palace, it felt like the archers were shooting arrows into a bottomless black hole.
After the second round of attacks stopped, when Hu Dayou was about to give another order, the door on the opposite side opened with a creak. Hu Dayou, like his subordinates, quickly stared at the door with wide eyes. But I saw a young man in blue walking out of the dark door. Under the moonlight, I couldn't see his face clearly. The young man said loudly: "General Hu, are you okay?"
Then the man laughed strangely twice. That proud laugh and rich voice were none other than General Xun Mou! Hu Dayou was startled. He frowned and took a closer look. The strong figure made him more certain that that person was Xun Mou. Hu Dayou didn't want to lose his momentum, so he chuckled and said, "The person here is Xun Mou, General Xun?"
"Exactly!" Xun Mou said calmly, "Why is General Hu so aggressive in fighting?"
"Several assassins just broke into His Majesty's palace. This general is here to arrest the assassins on a routine matter to protect His Majesty." Hu Dayou said without changing his expression, "General Xun had better get out of the way quickly, lest I Someone hurt you."
"Oh? Assassin? I think this assassin is not someone else!"
Xun Mou's disdainful tone made Hu Dayou very angry, "You... Why are you here, Mou? Where is the Holy One?"
“Your Majesty?”
Hu Dayou was instantly furious, but he still refused to admit it, "General Xun, I don't understand what you are saying! If you don't get out of the way, you are obstructing official duties. Be careful, I will kill you first and then tell you."
"Hahaha...Behead first and then play..." Xunmou looked up to the sky and laughed, then clapped, "General Hu, you are really good at singing in this play! Then should I cooperate with you? Or should I just be a spectator? What about?"
Hu Dayou was already furious and ordered: "Come here, Xun Mou is obstructing official duties, let me capture him."
A group of gunmen behind Hu Dayou quickly rushed to the front group. Xun Mou snapped his fingers almost at the same time. A group of archers rushed out from behind the door and quickly lined up in front of Xun Mou. wall. Hu Dayou froze on his horse for an instant, and his own gun team in front of the horse suddenly stopped. Hu Dayou shouted anxiously: "Hurry up!"
Just when the dozens of gunmen were about to charge forward, the arrows in front were already flying towards their chests. In an instant, the dozens of gunmen rushing in front were covered with blood and fell to the ground one after another. Then Xun Mou snapped his fingers again, and the archers stopped shooting after receiving the order.
Hu Dayou pointed his gun at Xunmou angrily, "Bold Xunmou, are you going to rebel?"
"Rebellion?" Xun Mou smiled coldly and raised his hands to the sky, "I, the Xun family, are from the Emperor's grace. Even if the Holy One wants my life, my Xun family will not blink an eye." Then he pointed at Hu Dayou fiercely. , "Now that things have happened, do you still want to talk eloquently? Do you think no one knows what you said to King Wei last night? It's better to just let him go and be arrested as soon as possible!"
Hu Dayou's face instantly turned livid, his veins bulged, and he yelled at the top of his lungs: "Fuck them all! Cut Xun Mou into pieces..."
