Chapter 776: Fight at Xiwei Palace

While the two were talking, they saw a general wearing armor walking in.

"Your Majesty, Wan Xu, meets the Emperor!"

"Get up!" The emperor glanced at him and said.

The general thanked him and stood up, then raised his hands to Concubine Mei, "See Concubine Mei."

Concubine Mei met him once. He was the emperor's newly promoted deputy commander of the imperial guard, and he was the old subordinate of Marquis Wu'an.

She nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

"Well, go ahead." The emperor nodded, approving of Concubine Mei's advance and retreat.

Mei Fei retreated in small steps and led Ju'er away.

Eunuch Bao went to close the door, then stood by the door with his hands down.

Wan Xu cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, today a large number of martial arts people quietly entered Beijing in disguise."

The emperor's eyes turned cold, "Well, it seems they are going to take action."

"I will immediately send more manpower to defend them," Wan Xu said.

"Go and convey my decree, invite them all, and tell them that this time, if you kill one person, you will get a reward of a thousand taels. If you take down the regent, you will get a reward of 10,000 taels."

"Yes!" Wan Xu looked happy. After waiting for a long time, he finally got the opportunity to make a contribution.

The emperor lowered his eyes, covering up the coldness in his eyes, "Remember, you can seriously injure the prince, but you cannot injure his life."

"I obey the order!" Wan Xu resolutely handed over his hand and retreated.

After Wan Xu left, Eunuch Bao stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, please lie down for a while. You are also tired today."

The emperor gently closed his eyes and said, "I have to take a rest. I'm tired."

Eunuch Bao helped him lie down slowly and covered him with the quilt. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the emperor suddenly opened his eyes and said, "In an hour, wake me up. I can't miss this scene."

Eunuch Bao lowered his eyes and responded: "Yes!"

He retreated, and at the door, Eunuch Lu came over with stew. Seeing Eunuch Bao standing at the door, he asked softly: "Is the emperor resting?"

"Yes, take a rest and serve the soup later!" Eunuch Bao said.

Eunuch Lu hummed and called a palace servant to come over and take down the soup.

Seeing that Eunuch Bao looked strange, he asked softly: "What's wrong?"

Eunuch Bao raised his head, glanced at him, and then looked around again before pulling him to the locust tree in front of the porch, "Maybe we're going to take action tonight."

Eunuch Lu's heart skipped a beat, "So fast?"

"Well!" Eunuch Bao looked at the darkened courtyard. The wall of Xiwei Palace was like a barrier. On the barrier, if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't spot the archers crouching on it.

Not only on the walls, there are also a group of people on the roofs. On the high pavilion in the distance, there are ambushes from all sides, with clanking arrows, just waiting for the person who wants to die.

Here is a wall of copper and iron. How can we break in easily?

The two looked at each other, and both sighed inaudibly.

The palace is a very cruel place, and those who want to be in power are always looking forward to chaos before they can find their place.

But for these two old palace men, their positions have been fixed. As long as they don't cause trouble and no more troubles, they can live smoothly until they die of old age or are pardoned and leave the palace.

As we get older, we can no longer withstand the hardships and always look forward to a stable life.

Moreover, who knows what will happen after this chaos?

The air seemed to solidify all of a sudden, and there was silence in the palace.

Time passed by little by little, and everyone's nerves were very tight, as if a pin dropped on the ground could break the nerves.

The emperor stood up in his clothes and was carried up to Tongtian Pavilion, the highest building in Xiwei Palace. There was a window overlooking the entire Xiwei Palace.

He sat on the chair by the window, quietly looking at the dark night sky.

He has never looked forward to someone entering the palace to rebel against him like he is now.

He felt unspeakable sadness in his heart. Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, he was probably the most useless emperor.

Eunuch Lu and Eunuch Bao stood behind him. They were both highly skilled in martial arts, and the Tongtian Pavilion was also guarded by archers, so no one could get close.

There is a royal concubine's couch behind her, and the drugged County Princess Danqing is lying on it. She sleeps peacefully,

She has a beautiful face, as if everything has nothing to do with her.

In fact, tonight's fight started because of her, but she was actually the most innocent one.

The emperor's jade ring finger gently looked at the armrest of the chair, looking calm and composed.

The wind started blowing, making the branches of Tongtian Pavilion rustle. This autumn day was already a bit chilly.

There was a strange and slight sound, falling on the glazed tile roof of Xiwei Palace. The emperor's sight was just enough to see it all. He stood up suddenly, and then slowly sat down, still using the jade finger as before. He knocked on the armrest, but the sound was a little more hasty than before.

There was the sound of metal cutting through the air, and thousands of arrows fired in unison, piercing through the falling shadows. Those shadows did not dodge and fell straight down.

So vulnerable?

If you look closely, you can see that they are not people, just pieces of black clothes bulging with the wind.

The emperor sighed, "I really don't want to go to war with Lao Qi. Facing him, I can only bully others with more people."

Then, the sound of swords, guns, swords and halberds could be heard.

finally come!

Like birds returning to their nests, black shadows quickly fell from the sky one after another. The black shadows moved quickly and quickly. After falling, they waved their hands with cold light and were stained with blood. In the darkness, there were screams and the smell of blood penetrated into their noses. inside.

The emperor stared at a black shadow, a figure he was very familiar with. He held a long sword, and his clothes were full of wind. When he fell from the sky, he was like a god of death descending to the world. He was clearly staring at him all the time. He almost didn't see any movement from him, but he had killed three people in a row.

The emperor's heart trembled a little, but he calmed his mind. It's good that it's coming. If it comes, there is no escape.

Arrows rained down, cutting through the air and hitting the black-clothed man.

The collision of the sword and the arrow head not only emitted a cold light, but also made a metal collision sound, which seemed to be urging people to die.

The emperor also prepared opponents for the people of Xiehan Tower and Suyue Tower.

They were all desperate criminals in the rivers and lakes. They were cruel and had no feelings. As long as they were given enough silver, they would kill their own parents.

People who lick blood on the edge of a knife, martial arts is the guy who makes a living, so these people were not panicked at all when facing the masters of Xiehan Tower, and they were at ease in dealing with them.

However, these people were not interested in dealing with the people from Xiehan Tower, but only attacked Murong Jie.

These people were thinking that if they wanted to make a contribution, they would naturally have to be the first.

Capturing Murong Jie alive would earn a reward of 10,000 taels, and killing ten people from Xiehan Tower would earn this amount of money.

For a while, only seven or eight people were seen besieging Murong Jie.

Murong Jie was full of a murderous aura. Even though he was on the top of the glazed tiles, facing the siege of seven or eight top masters, he was not panicked at all.

The moonlight was like a silver thread, illuminating his face like the coldness of the god of death. Although there was no blood splashing when he swung his sword, his sword energy was overwhelming, forcing one side to retreat step by step.

However, this side retreated and the other side attacked. Although someone came to help, the imperial guards immediately came up again, and the archers kept shooting arrows. For a while, Murong Jie and the people from Xiehan Tower could not escape, let alone win.

Amidst the chaos, another group of men in black descended from the sky. These people were dressed the same as the people from Xiehan Tower. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see the red rope tied around their cuffs.
