Chapter 582 Rushing In
"You kept the death a secret from the public and only said that your father had been ill and bedridden. Was this to cover up your evil act of killing your father and usurping the throne?"
Tuoba Yu gnashed his teeth and said, "Now they are telling the public that our father is seriously ill and letting He Ruobu pretend to change his mind. This is to lure us into the palace and catch us all in one fell swoop!"
"That's right." Tuoba Duan nodded with a sneer, "It can be seen that you are not hopelessly stupid."
"Someone come!"
Tuoba Duan raised his hand, "Catch all these stupid people who dare to fall into our trap!"
As soon as he finished speaking, guards entered the hall.
"Just relying on you guys, a bunch of small fry?" Murong Jian pulled the corner of his mouth and drew out the scimitar he was carrying, "I'm afraid we'll still..."
Before he could finish his words, Murong Jian felt dizzy and weak all over. He could not hold the scimitar in his hand anymore and it fell to the ground with a clang.
Tuoba Yu, Lou Yanlin, Tuyuhun Junhong and the several guards who came with them were in the same situation at this moment, unable to even stand steadily.
Some of them collapsed to the ground, while others held onto the table and wall beside them, trying to stand steadily.
"You are despicable!" Tuoba Yu's eyes fell on the incense burner, and then he gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words from between his teeth, "You actually mixed medicine into these spices. Such a despicable trick is really despicable!"
"The winner is the king, the loser is the enemy. No matter what method is used, as long as the goal can be achieved, it is excellent." Tuoba Duan did not take Tuoba Yu's accusation seriously, but sneered, "If everything is based on principles and laws, then it is really pedantic. Big brother has lived for so many years, but he doesn't even understand this principle. He has really lived in vain for so many years."
"Your Majesty, please don't waste your breath talking to these people." The great wizard walked up and reminded.
As Tuoba Duan said, the winner is the king, and the rest is not important.
At this moment, all he needed to do was to arrest all of them and stabilize the government. In his opinion, those things of showing off and seeking a sense of existence were really unimportant.
The expression on Tuoba Duan's face suddenly froze.
This time we were able to capture all these people in one fell swoop, all thanks to the strategy offered by the great wizard. The great wizard played an indispensable role this time.
But credit belongs to credit. Even though the great wizard has a high status, he still serves the king. He is a slave and cannot surpass his master.
This interrupted his interest, which was really annoying.
"The Great Wizard has always been in poor health, and he has been very tired this time." Tuoba Duan instructed the people around him, "Please ask the Great Wizard to rest first, and I will go to see the Great Wizard later."
The great wizard understood what Tuoba Duan was thinking at this moment. He narrowed his eyes and nodded without saying anything more. "Thank you, Lord, for your concern."
Then he followed the servant and left.
Before leaving, he glanced at He Yanxiu and others who were poisoned like the others and were sitting on the ground weakly.
At this time, He Yanxiu also noticed the great wizard's gaze, but he didn't bother to look at the great wizard any more. He just secretly winked at Lu Wenjing.
Lu Wenjing also nodded and grasped the dagger that had been hidden in her sleeve.
Because she and He Yanxiu had taken the pills given by Su Yujin, they were not seriously poisoned and did not suffer from dizziness or fatigue.
The situation is critical now, and it depends on the two of them to save the situation.
At this time, there are many opponents, but they are only two people, so they can only capture the leader first.
He Yanxiu and Lu Wenjing exchanged glances and secretly made a few gestures. After they jointly determined the action strategy, He Yanxiu stood up first.
He first drew his long sword from his waist, and then picked up Murong Jian's scimitar next to him with lightning speed.
Holding a sword in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, He Yanxiu moved quickly and swiftly. After taking care of the two guards closest to him, he pounced directly at Tuoba Duan.
Lu Wenjing also acted quickly. After kicking the people around her away, she cut their throats with the dagger in her hand, and then went to deal with those around Tuoba Yu.
After Lu Wenjing cleared the obstacles around her, Su Yujin simply took out a silver needle from the medicine box she carried with her and went to Murong Jian and Tuyuhun Junhong.
Use silver needles to seal the acupoints to prevent the spread of toxins, then give them the pills to take, then remove the silver needles and change the acupoints to allow the detoxifying pills to be absorbed quickly.
Almost in a moment, Murong Jian and Tuyuhun Junhong felt that the symptoms of dizziness and weakness had improved a lot. Although they had not fully recovered, they were able to hold a knife or a sword. So they found a weapon that suited them and started fighting with Tuoba Duan's men.
Tuoba Duan was an extremely skilled fighter, and the guards around him were even more outstanding. Although He Yanxiu and Lu Wenjing were both skilled in martial arts, they were still affected by the poison burning in the incense burner and were unable to capture Tuoba Duan.
Murong Jian, Tuyuhun Junhong and others tried their best to eliminate the guards under Tuoba Duan in the hall.
But Tuoba Duan was in control of the imperial city guards at this time. A steady stream of guards poured in from outside and surrounded He Yanxiu and everyone else in the palace.
Tuoba Duan didn't gain much advantage in the fight, and was even hit on the cheek by He Yanxiu's sword, causing blood to ooze out.
"Besiege them in the palace and burn them to death!" Tuoba Duan roared.
Since we can't capture them alive, we'll just have to take their bodies! Upon hearing this, the guards hurried to get the lamp oil and tinder, and He Yanxiu, seeing this, snatched a tinder and took advantage of the gap when Lu Wenjing was helping him to light the object he took out of his arms and threw it out of the window.
The fuse burned, and when it was completely burned out, it leaped into the air with a bang, emitting a dazzling light in the air.
Shi Ding, Du Song and others who were waiting outside the palace felt their hearts sink when they saw this signal.
This is a sign that He Yanxiu, Su Yujin and others are in trouble at this time.
"Charge in!" Shi Ding and Du Song jumped on their horses, waved their spears, and shouted.
The Qin guards who followed He Yanxiu and his party all shouted in unison, "Charge!"
The sound was earth-shaking and deafening.
Before the voice was heard, everyone rushed to the palace gate.
Seeing that these people had taken care of the guards at the palace gate and rushed in, the soldiers and guards who followed the Murong clan and Tuyuhun clan also followed after hesitating for a moment.
As they fought their way inside, Shi Ding took the lead and led some skilled secret guards to climb walls and run across eaves to rush to He Yanxiu's side to help.
With the help of Shi Ding and others, He Yanxiu and others, who were originally at a disadvantage, were able to turn the situation around in an instant.
