Seventy-eight, holding Xiao Zhou Hou hostage

Outside Xuanzheng Hall, King Jing Li Kun held a sword in his hand and commanded the royal guards to besiege the Eastern Palace Imperial Guards, and they must kill the crown prince Li Jian. As long as Li Jian died, the throne of the Tang Kingdom would be his. Uncle Li Yu was already sick and deposed. Although the young Zhou Hou was smart and talented, he was a woman after all. The main eunuch in the palace was bought by Li Kun. What can Xiao Zhou Hou do if he couldn't leave the palace gate?

The palace incident suddenly began. King Jing Li Kun and Prince Li Jian responded hastily. The Eastern Palace Guards were the first to break into the palace to protect the emperor and the queen. Li Kun’s martial arts masters and the royal guards were nearly 1,000, as well as hundreds of eunuchs who followed Li Kun. The two groups of people fought in the Daxing Palace.

Li Jian had to take into account his own safety, and could not let his father and mother fall into Li Kun's hands, so he sent hundreds of guards to Zichen Hall and Hua'e Xianghui Tower, hoping to bring his father and mother to Xuanzheng Hall, but the gate of Zichen Hall was tightly closed by the eunuch who surrendered to Li Kun. There were three hundred Jinwu Guards in front of the hall, but they did not let the people from the Eastern Palace enter the hall, and Li Kun's dead soldiers also chased him.

Li Jian cursed angrily: "Han made a traitor and even surrendered to Li Kun."

Han Yue was the general of the Right Jinwu Guard. Today he led 800 Jinwu Guards with axes on duty. This important force had been secretly taken away by Li Kun. The situation in the Eastern Palace was extremely critical. Although Lin Ji had three thousand Yulin Guards, he had to guard the gate of the imperial city now and could not let Huangfu Jixun's brigade of troops rushed in, otherwise he would be defeated but not defeated.

Fortunately, Han Yue did not have the courage to hold the emperor hostage, but just guarded the Zichen Palace and prevented the Eastern Palace from entering, waiting for Li Kun to enter the palace as the leader.

When Zhou Xuan led 200 elite soldiers in Fenghua arrived, Li Jian's guard had been suppressed in the narrow area of ​​the gate of Xuanzheng Hall. The black clouds that destroyed the city were pressing lower and lower. From time to time, rumbling thunder rolled by, but the heavy rain refused to come. Everyone was sweating in their sweat, and the soldiers who fought desperately were even more tired.

Zhou Xuan shouted: "King Jing rebelled and killed without mercy!"

At Fan Zaixing's order, his two hundred Fenghua elite soldiers were slapped together to slap the bow and arrows. A rain of arrows sprinkled, and hundreds of guards in Li Kun's palace were killed and injured. These palace guards only wore swords and guns, but did not carry bows and arrows. How could the Fenghua soldiers come out of the field battle? The momentum suddenly dropped.

Li Jian was overjoyed when he heard Zhou Xuan coming to support him in the hall. He ordered the Imperial Guards to rush out to meet Zhou Xuan, and said loudly: "Cousin Xuan, go and protect my father quickly."

Zhou Xuan shouted: "After the order." He led the Fenghua army to the Zichen Palace.

When Li Kun saw Zhou Xuan leading the crowd to arrive, the coup was rushed, Li Kun was unsure. He thought it was Zhou Xuan who initiated it first. It was dark and he didn't know how many soldiers Zhou Xuan had come. He quickly ordered the guards to stop Zhou Xuan. He led more than a hundred personal guards and more than 30 recruited martial arts masters to the Zichen Palace, and wanted to control the emperor Li Yu in his own hands first.

Fan Zaoxing took the lead and led the Fenghua Prefecture soldiers to penetrate the formation of the King of Jing like a sharp wedge. Wherever they went, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Although the soldiers of the King of Jing relied on their generous salary, they all looked tall and big, with distinctive clothes and armor, and seemed to be extremely brave. However, they usually focus on form but not substance, and they do not have much experience in killing the enemy in front of the battle. How to fight against Fang Zhen Prefecture soldiers, not to mention these Fenghua soldiers were selected by Lin Dai to go to Beijing to protect his son-in-law. The guards of the King of Jing Prefecture had previously fought with the Eastern Palace Imperial Guards. At this time, they met the Fenghua Prefecture soldiers, which were immediately dwarfed and killed and rushed over.

It was inconvenient for the brigade to gallop in the palace. Zhou Xuan and others all got off their horses and walked. When they rushed to Zichen Hall, they saw that the Right Jinwu General Han Yue had already let Li Kun enter Zichen Hall, but stopped Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan was furious and shouted: "Han Yue, do you dare to rebel and rebel? Are you not afraid of raiding the family and extermination?"

Han Yue was quite frightened when he saw Zhou Xuan and argued: "Prince Zhou should not talk nonsense. Your Highness King Jing is going to visit His Majesty. How could it be a rebellion!"

Zhou Xuan sneered: "I am also a royal relative, and I will also go into the palace to greet His Majesty, and get out of here!"

Having reached this point, Han Yue didn't want to pretend, and said with a breakup: "Who dares to break through the palace of His Majesty's living, will you kill me!"

Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air, a feather arrow shot towards him, flew over the shoulders of a row of Jinwu Guards, hit Han Yue's neck. Han Yue screamed and fell backwards.

The person who shot the archery was Murong Liusu. She was skilled in archery and horses, and she was particularly skilled in archery skills. Seeing that Zhou Xuan and Han Yue were incompatible with each other, she immediately bent her bow and took the arrow quietly. At this time, the sky was not clear. There were dozens of Jinwu Guards in front of Han Yue. She really didn't expect that she would be caught by a cold arrow and was penetrated by an arrow, and she fell to the ground and had no idea of ​​life or death.

Zhou Xuan was overjoyed and said loudly: "I am ordered by the Crown Prince to kill Han Yue, and the rest of the Jinwu Guards quickly put down their weapons and retreated aside. They will not be held accountable for your crimes."

When the three hundred Jinwu Guards in front of Zichen Palace saw the main general being caught in an arrow, they were panicked, their formation fluctuated, and they retreated slightly.

But I heard a hoarse and coughing voice shouting: "Cough cough—you must not retreat, our wealth and life—all depends on this, cough cough—only King Jing becomes the emperor, we will have the glory and wealth of ours—"

It was Han Yue who spoke. Murong Liusu failed to kill him with one arrow. He stood up again with an arrow on his neck. The Jinwu Guard beside him also held up a square shield to protect him.

Zhou Xuan shouted: "Kill!" The Fenghua soldiers behind him rushed over like anger.

Zhou Xuan pulled out his Damascus knife, and Sanchi and Murong Liusu protected him tightly.

Sanchi said, "Master, I'll try to rush in first to see if I can protect Your Majesty from being held hostage by King Jing."

Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, you have to be careful."

Sanchi jumped up and jumped several feet like a bird that flew into the forest. Two Jinwu guards below raised their heads and looked up at the sky and waved their axes. Sanchi's broad-back iron sword passed through the two axes and quickly stabbed the two people in the throat in an incompetent manner. While their bodies had not fallen, they stepped on the head of one of the tall men, and leaped three feet with the force, and had already arrived in front of the gate of Zichen Hall.

The door was closed, and Sanchi pushed the door and rushed in, and a big Xuanhua axe rushed down. Sanchi was too late to avoid it and could not retreat. Behind him were three Jinwu Guards chasing him.

What a three-man fool, today I'm going to show off my skills. With a broad sword, I blocked the powerful heavy weapon Xuanhua Axe. Then I pulled my sword back and turned around. I stabbed the two approaching Jinwu Guards to death in a flash. At the same time, I had a leg up and kicked the other Jinwu Guard who was chasing behind me and flew out, running wildly with blood.

Seeing that the three cynical men were so fierce, Jinwuwei didn't dare to step forward.

Only the red-robed guest in the hall holding an axe was like a wheel, and he was rushing towards the three mysterious people crazy. The red-robed guest was a master hired by Li Kun for a large sum of money, so how could those Jinwu Guards compare?

Another Taoist priest with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek jumped out of the corner of the hall, put up a long sword, and fought against Sanchi with the red robe.

Sanchi tried to compete with the two of them while scanning the hall. The lights in the hall were still bright, but he didn't see Li Kun and others. Naturally, Emperor Li Yu did not see him. It seemed that Li Kun had entered the back hall and left these two people to guard the hall gate.

The red-robed guest's Xuanhua danced quickly, and Sanchi was unable to get close to him. The Taoist priest with sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was also extraordinary. The sword light was very tremendous, and he wanted to kill Sanchi under the sword.

The sound of killing outside the hall shook the sky, and Sanchi suddenly rose up and attacked the broad sword in the air.

The red-robed guest's big axe danced so hard that it was not clear through the wind and rain, but his own big head was exposed outside the axe wheel and was not protected. Sanchi's jumped easily and easily pierced his head. His brain splashed everywhere. Xuanhua's big axe flew out of his hand and hit the heart of a Jinwu guard outside the hall gate. The axe blade penetrated deep and he could not live anymore.

The Taoist priest with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek had good eyesight. He knew that Sanchi was powerful, so he pulled out and rushed into the back hall.

Sanchi chased after him, and saw Li Kun ordered two eunuchs to carry the paralyzed Li Yu out of the back door of Zichen Hall in a chariot. The rest of them rushed out. When Sanchi chased him, the gate of the back hall was closed from outside, and the corpses of the eunuch and the palace maid were lying on the ground.

Sanchi waved his sword and slashed the window frame of the back hall, rushed out quickly, and as soon as he met, he broke over the two guards of King Jing's mansion. He was about to chase after Bu Yan, but five martial artists under King Jing Li Kun each supported his weapons to surround him. Li Kun took the opportunity to support Li Yu's Bu Yan, surrounded by his followers and ran quickly towards Hua'e Xianghui Tower.

At this time, Xiao Zhouhou was trapped in Hua'e Xianghui Tower. The eunuch closed the door of the hall and did not allow the people in Hua'e Xianghui Tower to go out. Li Kun rushed to Hua'e Xianghui. One reason was that Xiao Zhouhou was there, and the other reason was that Hua'e Xianghui Tower was high and steep, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as Li Yu and Xiao Zhou Hou controlled Li Jian and Zhou Xuan did not dare to attack Hua'e Xianghui Tower at will, and then waited for Huangfu Jixun to lead his troops into the imperial city. In this way, the big thing was settled.

The five rich men in the world who besieged San Chi were not mediocre, and they all had extraordinary martial arts. In this face-to-face competition, they were one-on-five. The strengths of San Chi Chi were suppressed, blocked from the left and right, and were stretched and could not stand it.

The dark clouds were heavy, the thunder rumbling, and lightning broke through the sky from time to time. After the moment of brightness, there was chaos again. The entire Daxing Palace became a big killing field, with fighting everywhere.

Suddenly, a thunderous sound was heard, and the thick clouds were torn by lightning, and the long-accumulated rainstorm poured down.

Sanchi finally found a flaw when he was about to fall when the rain was about to fall. At the cost of being stabbed by a knife on his left arm, he stabbed a man in black who was besieging him to death with one sword, and pulled away from the surrounding of four opponents. King Jing had already gone without a trace, and Sanchi was not familiar with the roads in the palace. It seemed that Li Yu could not take it back. Sanchi didn't want to fight against these four people. When Zhou Xuan rushed over, he was no longer a desperate person who had his head in the past. He had someone he cared about, and he had to live.

Seeing that the three crazy martial arts were amazing, the four people did not dare to force them and slowly retreated towards Li Kunxing.

Outside Zichen Hall, Li Jian's imperial guards killed the guards of Prince Jing's mansion and met with Zhou Xuan. The General of the Right Jinwu, Han Yue, was injured in an arrow worsened and could not speak anymore. Seeing that the chief general was half dead, the Crown Prince appeared again, and finally collapsed inside, and left his weapons and knelt down to apologize.

Li Jian had no time to pursue their accomplices at this time, and immediately ordered these Jinwu Guard generals to be punished and assist in eliminating the evil forces of King Jing.
