Chapter 125125 The Palace

The soldier pulled the gun out of the eunuch's body.

Su Yan stood by and watched.

Zhao Qiujin said anxiously: "If you look at us any longer, we will die here!"

Su Yan said: "This road is too long, there is no place to hide, we can't outrun him."

"But we can't just sit there and wait for death."

Su Yan said: "I originally asked you to run first so that I could buy you some time. Now I'm afraid it's too late. Come and help me. Don't be scared."

Zhao Qiujin: “?”

The soldier carried the weapon towards Su Yan.

Zhao Qiujin was so scared that she wanted to scream, but she was afraid of attracting more people. She thought of Su Yan's words and looked around for something to fight with.

This palace is so clean! There isn't even a loose brick!

Zhao Qiujin stared at the palace maid's body for a moment, took the wooden hairpin that the soldiers didn't want and held it in her hand, then took off her own hairpin.

She waved her hairpin and wanted to help, but saw Su Yan nimbly dodged the gun, grabbed the gun barrel with one hand, and held a small knife in his hand, and swept it directly at the soldier's throat.

Su Yan only has some mediocre kung fu, and that soldier is even worse than her.

The soldier fell down in a daze.

Su Yan said: "Not all of these people are martial artists. Some of them are here just to make up the numbers. They are only interested in robbing money and are easy to identify. We can't let these idiots continue to kill people. At least the palace maids are not wrong. Shi Yangui's people will come over when they see the signal. We have to hold on. If you are afraid..."

Zhao Qiujin rushed to say: "If I'm afraid, my mother and I will die! I want to help, but I have to go to my mother's side. I'm worried..."

She was worried that the two teams of guards couldn't hold on.

Su Yan nodded. She took off the fallen soldier's clothes and threw them to Zhao Qiujin. "The clothes are too bright. Change them."

After Zhao Qiujin changed, Su Yan pulled her to a sparsely populated area and successfully ambushed another soldier.

Su Yan also changed her clothes, wiped off the rouge and powder on her face, and smeared some muddy blood on her face. Basically, no one would pay attention to them.

Whenever a palace maid asked for help, she and Zhao Qiujin would rush over. After confirming the number of people on the other side, they would take advantage of the situation to join in. Before the other party could react, their necks would be cut. Before they died, they only felt a sweet and fishy smell, and a large amount of blood spurted out in an instant, and they quickly lost consciousness.

Su Yan didn’t know how many people she had saved, but she knew how many people she had killed.

The scalpel was once used to find the murderer, but now it is used to end the life.

If you want to live, you can't care too much.

Su Yan gradually became numb.

There were fewer and fewer people being pulled in temporarily, and the armored soldiers were becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.

The rest of these people all wholeheartedly support their masters.

There were sounds of fighting not far away. Su Yan and Zhao Qiujin walked over in the dark and saw that the Imperial Guards were fighting with the invading enemy troops, and the Imperial Guards actually had the upper hand.

At this moment, Su Yan understood why it was so easy to deal with those soldiers.

She whispered, "Zhao Mingde left the elite troops here to intercept the army and sneaked in... He didn't care."

Zhao Qiujin was even more depressed than Su Yan. "What about the emperor? What about my mother?"

"The people who sneaked in are just trying to take advantage of the situation to steal things. The emperor's side must be heavily guarded. Let's hide now and wait."

The two were about to go back when they saw a small team rushing out from behind.

The two sides were dressed differently, and the attackers had red ropes tied around their arms, making them easy to distinguish. This was something the people who had just robbed and killed people did not have.

Su Yan secretly thought that something was wrong, grabbed Zhao Qiujin's wrist and ran forward. There was a fork in the road ahead. These people were going for support and should not be interested in chasing them.

They obviously also noticed Su Yan and Zhao Qiujin. They had no red ropes on their arms and were enemies.

After confirming this, soldiers armed with knives and guns swarmed forward.

They were well-trained and could run faster than the previous group.

"It turns out that he had been preparing to force the emperor to abdicate long ago! These are all his pets!"

As for who he is, Su Yan hasn't seen him in person yet, so it's hard to say.

Su Yan gripped the scalpel tightly.

The gap between the two sides was getting smaller and smaller, five meters, three meters, two meters...it seemed as if they could be caught with just a stretch of the hand.

Su Yan said quickly: "Don't reveal your identity!"

Then he pushed Zhao Qiujin forward, and the moment he turned around, he stared into the soldier's eyes and tried to shout in his heart - "The prince is going to lose! The prince has been captured! Go and help!"

In the past, she knew exactly who the people who could hear her thoughts were, and they could only hear thoughts that concerned themselves.

In a situation like now where he is unsure of the other party's identity, Su Yan is not sure if he can hear him.

But there was no other way now. Su Yan could only scream at the top of his lungs in his heart, and try his best to imagine that it was a man's voice.

I don't know if the timbre can be changed.

The man hesitated.

Seeing that it was effective, Su Yan quickly stared at the others and continued to shout, shouting to each person.

They were hesitant at first, until one of them said in horror: "His Highness has been captured? We must go and save His Highness!"

So, the others thought that he had obtained intelligence, and that the words of one's own people were always more credible. They did not have time to deal with Su Yan and Zhao Qiujin, and rushed to rescue the prince.

Only one person stayed behind. He stared into Su Yan's eyes and said viciously, "I heard that Zhao Zong's daughter is also in the palace. It's better to kill her by mistake than to let her go!"

He raised his sword and slashed at Su Yan.

There is only one person on the other side, so Su Yan can still deal with it.

She was about to fight back, but the man suddenly glared, lost his strength in his arms, and the machete fell to the ground, and he fell down too.

Zhao Qiujin hid behind Su Yan and trembled, "He has a hidden weapon on his back!"

Su Yan looked up and saw two dark shadows walking towards them.

*

The rain-washed palace stood alone in the gray night.

The sounds of fighting were gradually swallowed up by the night. Although it was the night sky, it was exceptionally bright and quiet.

The imperial guards surrounded the last group of people.

The entire palace was littered with corpses, most of them were powerless palace maids and eunuchs, as well as the prince's men.

Zhao Mingde laughed loudly, "Little boy, open your eyes and see, this world still belongs to us!"

The imperial guards approached the prince.

The defeat was certain and the prince had no chance of survival.

He suddenly said excitedly: "Zhao Mingde is a sinner of the Great Zhou Dynasty! He killed my father, and you still want to help him commit atrocities?!"

The imperial guards remained unmoved.

The prince slapped his chest frantically, "My father has passed away. He was killed by Zhao Mingde. From now on, this world belongs to me!!"

The imperial guards raised torches and surrounded the prince.

Looking at the collapsed prince, Zhao Mingde was in a good mood. He even asked someone to bring a throne and sat in front of the prince to watch the trapped beast fight.

A small group of imperial guards walked towards the fire, bringing a few people with them.

Zhao Mingde turned his head and saw that the imperial guards pushed Su Yan and Zhao Qiujin over, followed by two eunuchs.

Yan Fang was also in the Imperial Guards. He held a medium-sized official position in the Imperial Guards and led about a hundred people. Normally, he led a relatively comfortable life, but now he was just a grain of rice in the ocean.

Zhao Mingde saw Zhao Qiujin and signaled the imperial guards to let her go. He then said, "Xiaojin, I know you are arrogant, but I never thought you would be so arrogant that you want me to die. You don't care about how I treated you over the years."
