Pei Zhiyuan climbed the rope with one hand and held the Dzi bead with the other, looking hesitantly at the melee in the open space in front of Xuanhe Palace, with arrows flying towards him from time to time.
The Yulin Guards near the palace heard the noise and came to support. Looking at the Yulin Guards fighting in front of the open space, they didn't know who to help for a moment.
Shen Xu picked up the loudspeaker in his hand and shouted at Pei Zhiyuan: "Hurry up and throw the Dzi beads down!"
Seeing that Pei Zhiyuan was unmoved, she picked up the crossbow beside her, aimed it at him, and threatened: "If you want to live, throw the Dzi Bead down."
At this time, Master Hua and the little emperor, who were not far away, became anxious and followed them to the watchtower accompanied by their personal guards.
"Pei Qing, quickly throw the Dzi beads to me!" The little emperor opened his arms, stared greedily, and waved at him expectantly.
Master Hua also raised his head and said half-threateningly, half-commandingly: "Pei Zhiyuan, return the Dzi beads to me, and I will grant you anything."
"Pei Zhiyuan, throw it down quickly, the Southwest Yang family will protect your life."
"Drop it down quickly."
"Stop talking nonsense. Whoever grabs it first gets it."
At this time, the siege ladders of the Dongying Guard had also arrived at the battlefield, and some people began to fight for the ladders.
The chaotic battle between multiple camps without a commander became uncontrollable, and the Yulin Army gathered from all directions also joined the chaos.
Some protected their teammates without knowing why, some couldn't understand the situation and killed everyone they saw, some took advantage of the chaos to kill the emperor, some took the opportunity to escape, some rushed forward with the crowd, and some went forward to ask for instructions but were knocked down by Yuan Shengjie as an assassin...
There were already many corpses lying in disarray on the open space of the hall, the smell of blood was getting stronger, and the bluestone brick floor was stained with mottled red. However, the thousands of Yulin soldiers present were like possessed, still charging forward and killing indiscriminately.
This Dzi bead can really control people's hearts.
Pei Zhiyuan held the Dzi bead in his arms, his hawk-like eyes looking at the expectant little emperor.
He pursed his lips and frowned, hesitating. If what Shen Xu said was true, then the Dzi beads would definitely be disadvantageous to His Majesty. How could he throw the Dzi beads to the little emperor?
Besides, if we throw the Dzi beads down now, the person who gets them will become the target of public criticism...
Pei Zhiyuan suddenly realized and shouted, "Master Imperial Master, please take the Dzi Bead!"
"No, Pei Qing, don't give it to him. Give the Dzi beads to me." The little emperor opened his arms wide, his eyes bloodshot, staring at the red cloth bag in Pei Zhiyuan's hand, as if it was his entire fortune and life.
He shouted without caring about his image, looking excited and crazy, which was not what a normal 15 or 16-year-old boy should look like.
"Pei Zhiyuan, protect the Dzi bead, climb up quickly and kill that woman!" Hua Guoshi glared with his small eyes as big as green beans, and beads of sweat made his pink and white face look yellow and white, like a woman whose makeup was ruined by crying, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
He naturally knew the ins and outs of it. At this moment, the Dzi beads were a hot potato, and whoever took them would die.
Pei Zhiyuan threw the red gauze bag in his arms towards Master Hua without hesitation. Sure enough, the crowd attacking the watchtower began to rush towards Master Hua, and those fighting for the siege ladders stopped fighting and all rushed towards Master Hua.
The little emperor was unwilling to give up. He pushed and kicked his personal guards to make them go up and snatch it. He looked at Pei Zhiyuan who had lost the Dzi bead with resentment, and the murderous intent in his eyes was extremely cold.
He raised his head and loudly questioned Pei Zhiyuan, roaring at the top of his lungs, "Pei Qing, don't you listen to me? Why are you disobeying me?
I regard you as a loyal minister, I regard you as my only support, why do you disobey me! "
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this group of people are rioting. Let's quickly retreat to Anshou Palace and let the affairs here be handled by the Imperial Master." Seeing that the situation in front of Xuanhe Palace was out of control, the guards hurriedly persuaded the emperor to leave.
But the emperor's eyes were already red with anger. He yanked out the sword from the waist of his personal guard and began to swing wildly. "They are all traitors and villains, all with evil intentions. Die, die!"
The guards didn't dare to step forward to stop him and could only hide away. They anxiously advised, "Your Majesty, your safety is the most important thing. Lord Pei will get the Dzi Pearl back for you. Let's leave this troubled place quickly and avoid the limelight. No matter who gets the Dzi Pearl, the throne will always be yours."
The emperor went mad for a while, then seemed to sober up a little. He gasped for breath, dropped his sword with a clang, strode forward, grabbed one of the men by the collar, and said in a daze, "You said Pei Qing would snatch the Dzi Bead back for me, right?"
The man nodded rapidly and replied in panic, "Your Majesty, let's leave quickly. Master Pei can do anything. Master Pei is helping you."
"You said Pei Qing is a loyal minister, and the throne will always be mine, so he won't run away, right?"
"Yes, yes, your majesty, it's too dangerous here. You'd better leave here as soon as possible." The guards surrounding him advised him. They were the secret guards who protected the kings of all generations and were very loyal to the emperor.
Fortunately, there were many imperial guards protecting the emperor, and those who attempted to assassinate him failed to break through the defense line. Seeing that everyone was rushing to snatch the Dzi beads from Master Hua, many people gave up the assassination and joined the army to snatch the Dzi beads.
Master Hua also has quite a few lackeys. Although Master Hua was an unknown alchemist before he ascended to a high position, he used ruthless means, threats and inducements to cultivate a large force of his own in just two months.
The thousands of Yulin Guards in the open space in front of the Xuanhe Palace were suddenly divided into three factions. Two factions were fighting against each other, while one faction was watching and waiting to take sides. There were constant shouts of killing.
Song Lin found a position where he would not be in danger and kept a close eye on the movements near the watchtower and the entrance. He was afraid that someone would take advantage of the chaos to kidnap his wife or be injured by the arrows.
At this moment, he just wanted to rush to the watchtower, or even fly to her side to protect her.
However, the entrance to the watchtower had been sealed, and the outer walls were extremely difficult to climb.
Besides, Shen Xu had also told him that he had to perform the whole play to achieve better results.
He had been worried and frightened these past two days, unable to sleep or eat, but he didn't dare show any sign of abnormality.
Seeing the chaos in the open space in front of Xuanhe Palace, Song Lin was very confident in the plan his young wife had come up with.
After all, this plan was planned a month ago and has been carried out almost perfectly so far.
The battle soon reached noon. Although the number of personnel stationed in the Yulin Army by the major families was small, there were many people competing for the Dzi beads. Therefore, the battle between Master Hua's henchmen and this group of temporarily united Yulin Army was fierce and stalemate.
The two sides in the fight have suffered more than 70% to 80% casualties, but it is still difficult to determine the winner, and no one is willing to retreat.
Master Hua's personal guards had already presented the red cloth bag containing the Dzi beads to the Master. He took the bag with a grim expression, and as soon as he picked it up, he felt that the weight was not right.
Master Hua's expression was startled, and he quickly opened it to take a look, only to see the leg sections of a wooden doll painted in colorful colors exposed.
Dzi beads are fake!
