The open space in front of the Xuanhe Palace suddenly became much quieter, and the shouts and cries of killing began to become hesitant. The Yulin Guards who participated in the resistance stopped and looked around with their weapons.
The six masters of Master Hua also held their weapons vigilantly, their originally steady steps becoming a little flustered, and only a small number of them were still immersed in the fight.
There was still the sound of swords clashing as the radicals gradually fell to the ground.
Most people slowly stopped what they were doing and confronted each other with caution and confusion.
People were in panic for a while.
"What happened? Why are there flares?"
"Did the Dongying Guards and the patrol troops defect?"
"Did the Northern Xue family attack the imperial palace?"
Only Master Hua rushed towards the little emperor with a sword in hand with a clear purpose.
Shen Xu said in a cold tone, "Master Imperial Master, do you still remember what Master Pei told you about my plan to enter the capital?"
The corners of her mouth curled up, and her voice was sonorous and powerful, "Offer a plan to seize the Dzi Bead, Sentinel Tower Sniper, National, Master!"
As soon as the word "Master" fell from his lips, a sharp arrow flew out from the small ventilation window in the middle of the watchtower and hit Master Hua directly in the face.
Pass through the helmet.
Master Hua opened his small green eyes as wide as he could, with an expression of disbelief on his face. His body twitched a few times and he fell face down on the ground.
Blood gradually flowed out from his head, spread onto the bluestone floor, and seeped into the cracks between the bricks.
The six personal guards of Master Hua immediately gave up the fight, ran quickly to the Master's side, helped him up and checked his injuries.
I saw a long cross-edged armor-piercing arrow directly pierce through Master Hua's head. The shiny arrowhead was covered with sticky red and white stuff, hanging on the cold barb, slowly dripping down.
The person must be beyond saving.
"Master Hua is dead!" A loud voice rang out in joy.
The young emperor's personal guards ran and shouted loudly, their voices unable to conceal the joy of victory, "Your Majesty, Master Hua is dead!"
This loud exclamation made the open space in front of Xuanhe Palace suddenly quiet down, and people stopped fighting completely.
After a moment's silence, the uproar sounded again.
"Master Hua...is he dead?"
"Who killed Master Hua? That arrogant woman?"
"It seems to be an arrow shot from the watchtower."
"Impossible, how could it be possible at such a long distance?"
"Master Hua is dead, but we are still alive!"
There was disbelief and surprise in the voice, joy that a major disaster had been overcome, inspiring cheers, and sighs of surviving a disaster... but there was no sadness or crying.
A cruel and bloodthirsty backer has fallen. Who the hell dares to cry in such an occasion?
Shen Xu glanced at the Yulin Guards who had already attacked and said, "Master Hua is dead, are you still fighting?"
Apparently some people don't care about these things.
A few reckless men rushed forward shouting and holding knives. Pei Zhiyuan quickly stood in front of Shen Xu and started fighting with them.
One of them had already bypassed Pei Zhiyuan and rushed forward, swinging his knife at Shen Xu.
Shen Xu fell to the ground with an indifferent expression, and the splattered blood sprayed on her face. She calmly wiped the blood with her hand without blinking.
Without hesitation, she raised her crossbow and aimed, shooting the two people who were entangled with Pei Zhiyuan to the ground.
The sharp blades pierced through the neck directly, and those who were hit by the crossbows didn't even have the chance to scream and died on the spot.
Everyone saw her shoot and kill three big men with martial arts skills in just one breath, and her expression was so cold, as if killing a few people was a common occurrence.
Everyone was frightened by her ruthlessness and killing, and they put down their weapons and retreated to the corner farthest away from the two of them.
The other two people who were still fighting with Pei Zhiyuan were also frightened. They quickly dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Shen Xu cleared his throat, stood up straight, and calmly shouted to the people below the tower: "Everyone, be quiet...
"Master Hua is dead. Everyone, lay down your weapons immediately to avoid death! Those who resist will be killed without mercy."
Although everyone stopped fighting, the confrontation was still tense.
At this time, a Yulin Guard holding a red gauze bag quickly ran into the gate of Xuanhe Palace. Seeing corpses scattered all over the open space, he was shocked by the scene.
But he still ran to Yuan Shengjie responsibly, handed over the red cloth bag and reported:
"Reporting... Commander Yuan, the package that the Imperial Master is looking for..."
Now everyone's attention was focused on the package in front of Yuan Shengjie.
At this moment, Yuan Shengjie was breathing heavily, with beads of sweat mixed with blood dripping from his forehead and temples. He was exhausted from suppressing the riot.
He looked at the package presented by the Yulin Army, glanced fiercely at the people who were staring at him, and felt something was wrong.
They knew from the beginning that Song Lin and his wife were coming to assassinate the national teacher, and they also knew about their sniper plan from the sentry tower.
But Song Lin's martial arts were so outstanding that he and several secret guards always focused their attention on Song Lin.
Unexpectedly, the young woman was the most dangerous. She actually sniped the national teacher to death from the watchtower.
Now that the Imperial Master is dead and the Dzi beads have reappeared in the world, won't they cause another uproar?
Yuan Shengjie hesitated for a moment, then opened the package in full view of everyone. It turned out to be a piece of a doll's arm.
He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that it was fake again. That woman was so cunning, it would be strange if it was true.
Just as he was about to order other enemy Yulin Guards to come to support and quell this tragic farce.
However, several people came one after another and presented cloth bags, all of which were tightly wrapped in red gauze, large and small.
