Chapter 303 Defeat the Bandits
The tip of the knife was bleeding, and the blade was shining with cold light. It cut through the night sky and attacked the emperor fiercely.
Gao He, Zhui Yun, Zhou Boxu and others were entangled and could not get away. The emperor handed the unconscious Yu Cheng to the king of Rui and others, and angrily raised his sword to fight Cao Qian.
Cao Qian wanted to kill the emperor, and the emperor also wanted to kill him. Both of them had murderous intent in their eyes.
However, the difference in their kung fu was too great. In just three moves, the emperor's leg was cut. Although it was not fatal, it greatly slowed down the emperor's movements.
"Ha... ha..." The emperor panted in pain, looking at the approaching Cao Qian, ready to fight to the death.
At this time, in Cao Qian's eyes, the emperor was a fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered. Seeing victory in hand, Cao Qian raised his sword and stabbed at the emperor with a sinister look.
"Swish!" At the critical moment, a soft sword entangled Cao Qian's sword like a snake and pulled it hard.
Cao Qian looked at the owner of the soft sword and sneered contemptuously: "Your Highness Prince Jing is really filial and would rather die in front. In this case, I will fulfill your wish." Yu
Zheng had just arrived in front of the emperor and had not yet stood firmly when Cao Qian attacked him fiercely.
Yu Zheng reacted very quickly and calmly.
Compared with the emperor and Yu Cheng, Yu Zheng's martial arts was much higher. Cao Qian fought with him for several moves, but was unable to do anything.
Seeing this, Cao Qian called out, and a team of men in black quickly came and besieged Yu Zheng together with him.
"Be careful." Zhou Boxu dealt with the two men in black, then came to Yu Zheng's side and stood back to back with him.
The two guarded each other and fought together.
Zhou Boxu kicked one man away, and Yu Zheng saw this and swung the soft sword in his hand, slashing the man's neck neatly and beautifully, leaving a line of blood.
The two cooperated well, both offensive and defensive, and dealt with three people in just a few moments.
But Cao Qian's men were too many, and no matter how powerful they were, they could not avoid being injured.
Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu held the swords tightly in their hands, ignoring the injuries on their arms and shoulders, and fought hard with the men in black who besieged them.
In Cao Qian's eyes, this was a desperate struggle. Cao Qian snorted coldly, raised his knife and attacked Yu Zheng.
"Quick, quick..." Suddenly, there were urgent shouts and footsteps outside the courtyard.
Everyone in the courtyard was startled at the same time.
"Reinforcements are coming!" King Rui was overjoyed and shouted in surprise.
The other princes were also very excited, and finally saw the hope of survival.
Cao Qian's face sank, and he ordered in a fierce voice: "Block the gate of the courtyard and set it on fire!"
After hearing this, Zhuiyun Zhufeng ran to the gate of the courtyard as soon as possible, but was entangled by the black-clothed men who were like dog-skin plasters.
"Bang!" The gate of the courtyard was closed heavily and bolted from the inside.
A team of black-clothed men stood behind the door and held the gate to the death.
At the same time, a man in black took out a fire starter from his body, blew it on, and threw it into the house full of kerosene.
"Boom!" Almost instantly, the flames shot up into the sky, and spread to all directions at an extremely fast speed, causing most of the yard to catch fire and burn fiercely. In an instant
, the flames in the yard shot up into the sky, and only the gate of the yard, which was separated by a section of the wall and had not yet caught fire, became the only way out.
"Protect the emperor and rush out!" Gao He shouted sharply, and took the lead.
Cao Qian led his men to block the gate of the yard and said coldly: "Force them back."
Although the men in black were seriously injured, most of them were still alive, and they surrounded the gate of the yard in a dark pressure, making it impossible for Yu Zheng and others to pass through, and they could only continue to fight.
"Break the door!" Outside the yard, Lin Jun gave an order in a deep voice.
As the words fell, the gate of the yard was violently rammed. But there was a row of men in black behind the door. Although the heavy gate was shaking violently, it showed no sign of opening.
"Climb the wall!" Lin Jun decisively gave a new order.
The imperial guards used their shoulders as a ladder and quickly climbed to the top of the wall.
Cao Qian ordered people to block and kill at the wall to prevent the imperial guards from entering the courtyard.
Yu Zheng, Zhou Boxu and others attacked the wall and fought with the men in black, creating an opportunity for the imperial guards to enter the courtyard.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Cao Qian was furious and gritted his teeth and said, "Kill!"
Cao Qian knew very well that once the imperial guards entered the courtyard, he would be defeated. So he had to kill the emperor and Yu Zheng before the imperial guards attacked the courtyard.
Even if he failed and died, he would drag them down with him to vent his anger.
Cao Qian, who was determined to die, attacked more fiercely than before, forcing the emperor to retreat continuously and was about to be forced into the sea of fire.
"Protect the emperor!" Gao He desperately protected the emperor and shouted to the imperial guards who had climbed into the courtyard.
As the imperial guards climbed over the wall and into the courtyard, the situation turned in an instant. One
team of imperial guards protected the emperor, and another team of imperial guards attacked the gate of the courtyard and fought with the men in black. In the melee, the men in black were distracted and could no longer defend the gate.
With a "bang", the gate of the courtyard was knocked open, and a large number of imperial guards rushed into the courtyard, flanking the men in black from the front and back.
"Father, be careful!" The emperor's leg was injured, and he almost fell into the sea of fire because he didn't stand firmly. Yu Zheng arrived in time and pulled him back.
Zhou Boxu, Zhui Yun and several others stood in front of the emperor, while Lin Jun led the imperial guards and surrounded Cao Qian and others.
"Crack!" The surging flames engulfed the roof, the flames shot up into the sky, and the heat waves of the flames burned people.
"Let's go." Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu supported the emperor on the left and right, and left the yard under the protection of the imperial guards.
Several people from the King of Rui also carried Yu Chengchong, who was unconscious and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, out.
King Cheng defeated the bandits, and Cao Qian knew that he had no way to survive, so he wanted to fight to the death with the imperial guards.
"Catch him alive, don't let him die!" The emperor outside the yard turned around and gave a sharp order.
Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu turned around and rushed back to the yard, and worked together to capture Cao Qian.
The two cooperated closely, Yu Zheng attacked Cao Qian's upper body, and Zhou Boxu attacked Cao Qian's lower body. Yu Zheng attacked Cao Qian head-on, and Zhou Boxu stabbed him in the back.
"Puff!" Cao Qian was unable to respond and was stabbed in the shoulder by Yu Zheng's soft sword.
The injured Cao Qian's movement was slightly delayed, and Zhou Boxu took the opportunity to slash his right leg with a sword.
Once a person loses the upper hand and is taken advantage of by others, he will no longer be able to fight back.
After a cup of tea, Cao Qian was stabbed several times, but the swords avoided the vital parts, and he knelt on the ground with blood all over his body.
At this point, the assassination attempt on the emperor ended in failure.
"Capture him." Yu Zheng put away his sword and ordered.
The imperial guards received the order and went forward to capture Cao Qian.
"Boom!" The supporting beams were burned, and the roof collapsed instantly, smashing a wave of fire.
Zhou Boxu raised his arms to block his eyes, and after the fire wave receded, he took a look and said in a deep voice: "Other houses are about to collapse, get out first."
The emperor had already gone to the front yard, and Yu Cheng was also placed on the bed.
The ministers and guards in the front yard were all sleeping like dead, and the huge noise did not wake them up at all.
After checking, Zhuiyun and Zhufeng reported, "They were all drugged."
The emperor, whose clothes were stained with blood, sweat and looked frightened, looked back at Yu Cheng on the bed and said, "Where is Doctor Chen? Wake him up."
"Yes." Zhuiyun and Zhufeng hurried to find Doctor Chen.
Doctor Chen was also drugged, and because of his age, he slept very soundly. Zhuiyun slapped him and pinched his Ren Zhong, but he didn't react at all.
"Get out of the way!" Zhufeng picked up a bucket of well water and splashed it on Doctor Chen's face without hesitation.
