In Jiying Palace, dark clouds are pressing down on the city, as if it is about to be destroyed.
A large number of heavily armored soldiers in rattan armor blocked the two exits in front and behind. Wang Fu looked at the more than 20 eunuchs of the Eastern Palace who were surrounded near the throne and were still resisting stubbornly, with fanaticism in his eyes.
"All conspiracies and tricks are nothing but paper tigers in the face of true strength. You will definitely die today."
"Perhaps you have some misunderstanding about strength?" Zhao Huan pointed at the five hundred heavily armored soldiers. "They alone want to kill me, Wang Fu. Do you know what it takes to be considered truly powerful?"
"It's enough to deal with the current situation! Whether you have the strength or not will be revealed after a test. Please accept your death, Your Majesty."
"Let's try it. You must not have read the story of Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Huo in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. 30,000 soldiers in rattan armor are on fire. A mere 500 men are nothing. Come on, use the flaming oil to deal with them."
As Zhao Huan spoke, he turned the museum shelf behind him 180 degrees, and the copper cabinets and yellow paper packages were neatly arranged on the shelf.
The eunuchs of the Eastern Palace uniformly took out a pair of black masks from their bodies and wrapped their heads with them.
Shao Chengzhang took the lead, lit a yellow paper bag, and threw it into the hall, "Taste my smoke bomb."
One of the Three Musketeers of Gunpowder - making poison smoke balls.
Large clouds of yellow smoke suddenly filled the Jiying Hall, covering a large number of people including Wang Fu and Liang Shicheng. The irritated people had red and swollen eyes and tears streaming down their faces.
Other civil and military officials at the edge of the hall were not spared either, and each of them covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves.
In the hall, for a moment, it was as if hundreds of people were adding each other as friends on QQ, and there was coughing and coughing all the time.
The eunuchs of the Eastern Palace had taken the opportunity to carry a copper cabinet on their backs, each holding a copper missile-shaped tube in their hands.
After a while, the smoke cleared, and Wang Fu angrily ordered: "Kill them for me."
"So you don't even know what true strength is?"
Zhao Huan mocked Wang Fu, saying, "You are just a civil servant, what do you know about fighting a war?"
"Where's Tong Guan? How come you didn't call him out? Where did that damn eunuch hide? He couldn't have used you as cannon fodder and ran away. You're really pathetic. Not only are you an amateur at fighting, but you're also no match for him in conspiracy and intrigue."
"Wang Fu, what are you still living for? Why don't you just find a piece of tofu and hit yourself to death? You waste the air when you're alive, and pollute the land when you're dead. People like you won't be able to rest in peace even after death. To protect nature, you can't be buried. I have to cremate you and scatter your ashes into the sea."
More than twenty eunuchs from the Eastern Palace formed a circle, protecting Zhao Huan and Zhao Xi in the middle, staring intently at the five hundred heavily armored soldiers, without a trace of fear on their faces.
The heavily armored soldiers formed a small square formation, with shields in front and spears behind the shields, waiting for an opportunity to move. They advanced steadily, gradually shrinking the encirclement, and waited for them to get close so that they could stab them to death with their spears.
"Alas, ignorance is terrible. Let's do it."
Below the stage, Yuwen Xuzhong looked at His Majesty and Princess Roujia surrounded in a circle, thinking to himself, "Your Majesty cannot fail. A daughter slave would never put his daughter in danger. I must find a chance to rescue the princess."
When the heavily armored soldiers were still seven or eight meters away from the eunuchs of the Eastern Palace, they all activated the copper cabinet - the fierce fire oil cabinet.
The principle of the fierce fire oil cabinet is similar to that of a vacuum syringe. The eunuchs of the East Palace only need to pull the pump to draw up the fierce fire oil in the bottom cabinet, and then push all the fierce fire oil out like an injection. When the fierce fire oil reaches the nozzle, it will touch an ignition device.
The flaming oil instantly burned into flames when it came into contact with heat, eventually turning into a six or seven meter long column of fire that sprayed towards the enemy in front.
The heavily armored soldiers in rattan armor were walking when they suddenly felt a fire dragon rushing towards them. The iron shields in their hands turned red in a short while, and they all retreated and threw away the shields.
"Charge! You losers, charge! There are only about twenty of them. Don't be afraid of death. Charge forward and hold them down. The people behind you will quickly resolve the battle."
It’s easy to say, if you can do it, go ahead.
This flame is not like a knife or a gun. If you get hit by a knife, you can hold on by gritting your teeth. But what should you do with this high temperature? It's like washing your hands after frying in oil. You instinctively don't dare to go in.
This is what is meant by "in war, martial arts cannot defeat magic." Whether you are afraid of death is one thing, and whether you are afraid of torture is another.
No matter what orders Wang Fu gave, these people refused to move forward.
"Wang Fu, as the saying goes, 'Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.' Why do you always like to do these things that are difficult for others?"
"Don't be complacent. The kerosene will eventually burn out. I don't believe you can survive forever."
"Ahem, ahem, Wang Fu, are you blind? How did you tell I was hiding? I was clearly teasing you."
Zhao Huan held Zhao Xi in his arms, raised her above his head, and smiled brightly. "If there was real danger, would I have brought my daughter here? We're just here to watch the fun. I've already thought of your little tricks during the coronation ceremony. I could have killed you long ago. Why did I keep you here until now? I just wanted to put on a show for everyone during the New Year to cheer them up. Look how happy the others are."
In fact, Zhao Huan was bragging and almost got into trouble, but who would have known about it if he hadn't said it?
"Wang Fu is going to die anyway, so let's not talk about it. But you still have a chance to live. If you are willing to repent now, Guaiguai, please lay down your weapons and step aside. I will forgive you. If you continue to resist and refuse to repent, when the Imperial City Bureau and the Imperial Guards arrive to rescue you, your entire clan will be executed. Think about it carefully."
"Don't listen to his nonsense. We were let in by the Imperial City Bureau. How could the Imperial City Bureau come to rescue the emperor? There are also the Imperial Guards. The Imperial Guards have been lured out of the city by General Tong's army. Today is a great opportunity to achieve great things, and today is the day."
