Zhu Ling and the little emperor were instantly cheered up and felt much better.
Immediately afterwards, the nine women reached into their arms.
"Oh no, protect everyone!" The second prince immediately realized that they were going to shoot hidden weapons at everyone and shouted hurriedly.
Yue Haoyun, Xifeng, Jinhu, Yinbao, and a dozen guards under Yue Haoyun all used their lightness skills and jumped into the air.
More than ten people drew out the steel knives or long swords from their waists and waved them in the air at a rapid speed.
I saw more than a dozen darts flying towards the crowd.
The rapidly swung weapon knocked the darts to the ground, making a bang-bang sound.
There were also a few darts that were not knocked down and hit a few unlucky people.
Several unpleasant screams immediately rang out from the crowd.
At the same time, Liang Chaozong, who had been pinned to the ground for a long time, took advantage of the opportunity when the two generals who were suppressing him were dodging hidden weapons, suddenly pushed away the spears that were suppressing him, and jumped up with a somersault.
Then he pulled down a piece of the curtain in the hall, turned around beautifully, and wrapped it around himself to cover his naked body.
The nine women in the air fired a wave of hidden weapons. Mei'er led three of them and flew towards Zhu Ling and the little emperor, while the remaining five fought with Xifeng and others.
Because the four sturdy palace maids who had just dodged the hidden weapons and suppressed Zhu Ling and the little emperor were distracted, Mei'er and her companions knocked the palace maids to the ground without any effort, grabbed Zhu Ling and the little emperor, and flew away.
Zhu Ling shouted, "Save Mr. Liang!"
Mei'er flew back without hesitation, grabbed Liang Chaozong's arm, and jumped.
Seeing this, Liang Chaozong also hurriedly used his lightness skills.
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Ling and others had already flown into the air and were heading off into the distance.
"Oh no, stop them quickly!" Yue Haoyun shouted.
Xifeng and others hurried to catch up, but they had already flown far away.
At this time, the commander of the Imperial Guards, Xue Yi, who had been silent the entire time, bowed to Yue Haoyun and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Prime Minister Lin has already instructed me to make all necessary preparations in advance."
"They are running south, so they must have climbed over the southern palace wall. I have already arranged for the imperial guards to be stationed outside the palace wall!"
After hearing this, Yue Haoyun's frown relaxed a little.
Before the operation, he only knew that the commander of the imperial guards had promised to quietly allocate 800 elite imperial guards to support him outside the palace. He did not expect Xue Yi to be so thoughtful and considerate.
He clasped his fists towards Xue Yi to express his gratitude, and then said in a loud voice: "The imperial physician will stay and treat the injured. The generals and the young and strong will follow me!"
"They're fleeing south, and Mirror Lake is their only route. Let's go to Mirror Lake!"
Mirror Lake is a small artificial lake in the Dai Viet Royal Palace. It is located to the south of the palace, adjacent to the southern palace wall.
On the edge of Jinghu Lake, there are scattered rockery and uniquely shaped pavilions. There is also a stone bridge built in the narrow part of the lake.
After hearing this, everyone responded, picked up their robes, and followed Yue Haoyun, running towards the south.
Although Yue Haoyun had ordered that only military generals and strong men should follow, human nature dictated that on the one hand, everyone saw the situation clearly and wanted to cling to Yue Haoyun to gain some credit for his support; on the other hand, curiosity took over and they also wanted to see with their own eyes the excitement of Zhu Ling and the others.
Therefore, those civil servants who were not in good physical condition also tried their best to follow behind.
What's more, two officials who were hit by hidden weapons in their arms and shoulders also ran south after the imperial physician removed the weapons and gave them simple bandages.
Seeing this scene, Xia Miaoyuan's blood boiled. He raised his two small fists and urged, "Brother, hurry up! Let's go catch Liang Chaozong quickly. It will be bad if he escapes!"
The second prince readily agreed, carried his sister on his back, tied her to his body with a silk ribbon, then gathered his energy into his dantian and ran out quickly.
Xia Miaoyuan had never experienced the Second Prince using his internal energy to run. She held the Second Prince's shoulders tightly, and felt the whistling of the wind in her ears, giving her a feeling of flying.
【My second brother is so handsome! 】
Soon, the second prince arrived at Mirror Lake with his sister on his back.
Before he stopped, Xia Miaoyuan heard the sound of weapons clashing.
Looking closely, I saw more than a dozen black shadows fighting on the stone bridge of Jinghu Lake.
Xia Miaoyuan carefully identified for a long time before he realized that it was the women who came to rescue Zhu Ling who were struggling to resist Yue Haoyun's guards.
There were also four imperial guards assisting the guards.
Zhu Ling, the little emperor, and Liang Chaozong were hiding on the rockery behind the stone bridge, and three female guards were holding long swords to protect them.
It seems that Zhu Ling and his group were caught up when they fled to the south palace wall. The imperial guards outside the wall heard the noise and climbed over the wall to assist Yue Haoyun's guarding.
Yue Haoyun and a group of princes and ministers who followed him watched the fight in front of them nervously.
It was seen that although Yue Haoyun's side had the advantage in numbers, their martial arts skills were not as good as those women.
Therefore, the two sides fought for a long time and neither side could determine the winner.
For the safety of his sister, the second prince chose a sturdy willow tree, held his sister in his arms and stood behind the tree to watch.
"Come on, come on! Catch them quickly!" Xia Miaoyuan shouted excitedly.
At this time, the palace guards who were on routine patrol on the palace road were attracted by the noise and ran over.
They were confused and stood there hesitantly, holding the steel knives at their waists, not knowing which side to help.
Minister Lin shouted at them, "Empress Dowager Zhu colluded with Prime Minister Han to murder the late emperor. The evidence is irrefutable. She also defiled the harem. Today, they must be brought to justice! Hurry and capture Zhu, her son, and her adulterer!"
After hearing this, the guards drew their steel knives from their waists and headed towards Zhu Ling and the others on the rockery.
Seeing this, Zhu Ling shouted, "Don't be fooled by this old man! Today, it's Minister Lin who is conspiring with the Great Prince to rebel! Quickly capture Yue Haoyun, Minister Lin, and the others! I will reward you handsomely!"
After hearing this, the guards' expressions of confusion became even more serious. They looked at Prime Minister Lin and then at the rockery.
"Go and catch Zhu!" Lin Xiang said anxiously.
"Quickly capture Lin Xiang and Yue Haoyun!" Zhu Ling shouted.
The seven guards hesitated.
At this time, Meng Yong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, angrily cursed: "A bunch of idiots!"
Cursing, he flew to the guards, snatched the steel knife from a guard, and flew to the stone bridge to help them fight with the female guards.
Seeing this, the other generals followed suit, rushed forward, snatched the weapons from the guards, and joined the fierce battle.
