Song Lin's martial arts skills were excellent, and he was able to handle the swarming Yulin Army with ease.
But it was very difficult to face off against four top-level palace masters. The four of them cooperated very well and tightly entangled Song Lin, not giving him any chance to attack and escape.
He simply blocked with his knife and rushed into the group of Yulin Guards who were under centralized control.
Taking advantage of the chaotic crowd, he dodged and bewitched them, saying, "There are 120,000 guards in the Imperial City. The death of a few Yulin guards is nothing. He is a man of indiscriminate killing and does not regard people as human beings at all.
Now that all the exits are blocked, no one will attack this place. We might as well take this opportunity to kill the Imperial Master and his lackeys and save ourselves."
The four masters were blocked by the crowded crowd and immediately became angry. They swung their swords and started to kill people in the crowd.
The crowd was suddenly in chaos again. Some people hid in all directions with their heads in their hands, and some fell to the ground groaning and screaming. The Yulin Guards who were originally responsible for guarding them saw the chaos and began to beat and suppress the group of people.
But those people were all Yulin Guards after all. Even though their weapons were confiscated, they were not people who could be slaughtered at will.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Since the Imperial Master doesn't trust us, he'll kill us sooner or later. He's so cruel, he might even capture us and torture us. I'd rather die in battle than die in disgrace!"
Song Lin took advantage of the situation and said, "The Imperial Master blocked the entrance and exit because he was worried that the secret of his lost Dzi Bead would be known to more people. If we knew his secret, we would be doomed.
All the other troops have been dispatched to search for the Dzi Beads. We are the only ones with more people in this area. Why not unite and kill these lackeys? If we can hold the Imperial Master and the Emperor hostage, no one will dare to kill us."
Song Lin's remarks quickly resonated with the crowd. They knew that the Imperial Master was capricious, bloodthirsty, and brutal. Working with him was like courting death. Since their weapons had been confiscated and they were being held captive, they knew the Imperial Master must be murderous. So they chimed in, "Right! We've found the Dzi Pearl, and we'll share the wealth!"
Many people were so determined that they boldly tried to seize the weapons of the guards. The more than one hundred people who were originally guarded by dozens of people suddenly rioted. Those who had weapons were already hacking and killing crazily, and those who did not have weapons also rushed forward to fight.
When faced with survival issues, people's desire to survive is often unexpectedly strong. The Yulin Guards who were responsible for suppressing the situation were quickly pinned to the ground and hacked and trampled by the angry crowd. It was a terrible scene.
The four top masters of the Imperial Palace were really skilled in martial arts. Even when surrounded by hundreds of people, they did not panic at all. They would kill gods and Buddhas if they stood in their way, and they continued to chase Song Lin closely.
Seeing that the Yulin Guards on the open space of the Xuanhe Palace had mutinied again, Master Hua could no longer sit still. He stood up and shouted to Yuan Shengjie several times, asking him to lead the Yulin Guards to suppress the riot, leaving only a small number of people to continue climbing the watchtower.
Seeing that people were rioting one after another, the emperor's guards took the emperor and hid in a corner to watch.
Suddenly, someone slapped his head and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, now is the perfect time for us to assassinate the Imperial Master!"
The little emperor's eyes widened, his breathing becoming rapid due to nervousness. He held the arm of a personal guard with trembling hands, "Yes, my dear, you are right. If I kill the Imperial Master, I can seize the Dzi Pearl. Then, the throne and the world will be mine!"
Hurry up, help me kill him and help me take back this world!
Kill the Imperial Master, and I will appoint you as generals. You will all be loyal subjects, and you will have all the glory and wealth you desire!"
Several guards with higher martial arts skills received the order and immediately rushed forward with knives in hand. They knew that the imperial teacher's guards were highly skilled and difficult to defeat, but if they could give the emperor a chance of survival at this time, they would have fulfilled their mission of protecting the dragon veins.
They are the true royal guards, trained by General Yu, and trained from childhood to become secret guards who are unconditionally loyal to successive monarchs. Pei Zhiyuan is one of them.
After General Yu's death, Pei Zhiyuan became the new leader of the secret guards. Many of them had already been killed by Imperial Master Hua. The Xuanjing Division failed to provide them with shelter, and the remaining guards were no match for the Imperial Master's eight top-tier experts. Gradually weakened, they had no choice but to lie low and protect the Emperor.
At present, the eight guards have lured away six people, and there are still two left guarding the national teacher. They can give it a try.
The time has come to purge the imperial court and punish the traitors!
When Master Hua saw that more than a dozen of the emperor's personal guards were also attacking, he became furious and quickly ordered two of his personal guards to go forward to meet the enemy. At this moment, his own troops were scattered, and Yuan Shengjie and four masters were suppressing the riot of the Yulin Guards and were unable to take care of themselves.
The sentry tower has been under attack for a long time and the emperor is trying to take advantage of the chaos!
"Hurry, go and call for support from the East Camp Guards and the patrol team." He angrily grabbed a guard and ordered.
Shen Xu looked at the tragic scene below, then calmly picked up the megaphone and shouted, "Don't let the Imperial Master's messenger get out!"
Her words quickly attracted the attention of the two groups of people who opposed the National Master. Several masters quickly surrounded the person who was running towards the exit and killed him with just a few sword strikes.
"You witch, attack the tower faster! If you resist stubbornly, I will kill you!" Master Hua cursed loudly, took off his cloak, and joined the fight with the emperor's secret guards. At this moment, he still had the chips to command the world and drive his last trump card - Pei Zhiyuan.
All we need to do is hold the little emperor hostage.
He quickly knocked down the two men and ran towards the emperor. The little emperor was surrounded by seven or eight personal guards, but Master Hua was wearing soft armor and a breastplate, making him almost invulnerable to swords and spears. He was not worried at all that these incompetent personal guards of the emperor could hurt him.
Pei Zhiyuan, who was standing by the fence of the watchtower, was a little panicked when he saw Master Hua running towards the little emperor. After the siege ladders were equipped with square shields, although the enemy's ascending speed slowed down, the effect of the crossbows was obviously much worse. However, Shen Xu still stared at the battle situation below the tower with an indifferent expression, allowing the Yulin Army on the ladders to climb up to the watchtower.
The front gate of the watchtower was also breached, and more than a dozen Yulin guards filed in.
Shen Xu said quietly, "The Imperial Master has finally taken action."
"Think of a solution quickly, we can't hold on any longer!" Pei Zhiyuan anxiously kicked over a Yulin guard who had already climbed up, and then raised his crossbow to knock down another one.
The Yulin Guards have begun to climb up to the observation deck of the watchtower. Four or five people have already climbed up the narrow tower, and one side has been attacked by Fang Dun. More people will come up one after another. Pei Zhiyuan alone cannot stop them.
"I'm already a general." A dangerous smile appeared on Shen Xu's face, and he raised his hand and fired a crossbow into the sky.
call out--
The whistling sound of arrows drowned out the boiling shouts of killing.
Immediately, there was another burst of whistles in the imperial city, and whistling arrows were fired again. This time the distance was very close, probably inside the palace.
