Chapter 241 Concubine 24
The red-eyed soldiers put down their weapons, handed the prisoners to their comrades and continued to move forward.
The sound of neat armor reached the ears of the second son of the Duke of Fuguo through the smoke. At this moment, he was holding a child snatched from the royal family. The sharp cry of the young child was particularly miserable in the night, attracting the enemy's prying.
Gu Li turned around and saw the small group of people and the conspicuous child in his hands.
"Life is full of encounters, second son, we meet again." She stopped the soldiers behind her and stepped forward alone.
The elite soldiers with blood on their hands were so powerful that the second son of the Duke of Fuguo couldn't help but clatter his teeth.
He recognized the man walking in front, the most despised prince of Yong'an in the capital, who had just walked out of his family's mansion.
Shouldn't this man be under siege?
Why is he here, and why is he with so many people?
A bad premonition arose in his heart, and the second son of the Duke of Fuguo couldn't help but hold the child in his hands tightly.
"Gu Li..." Because of fear, the second son of the Duke of Fuguo's voice was dry: "Why are you here?"
Gu Li held the spear in one hand and said lightly: "The second son can be here, why can't I?"
She walked in front of the second son of the Duke of Fuguo, lowered her eyes and looked at the sleeping child in his arms, and stretched out her hand: "Come, give him to me."
At this moment, Gu Li's face was still stained with the enemy's blood. Her beautiful face mixed with blood, which looked even more weird under the firelight.
The clear and pleasant voice rang out in the night, causing cold sweats to break out on the back of the second son of the Duke of Fuguo.
He staggered back two steps, and said sternly: "How dare you! Who allowed you to snatch people from me?"
"You dare to bring private soldiers into the city, do you want to rebel?"
The second son of the Duke of Fuguo knew that these people under his command could not make any waves at all under the siege of thousands of people.
Despair arose in his heart, and he could only scold Gu Li sternly, hoping to scare this man away with a one in a thousand chance.
But there was no chance of success.
"Rebellion?" Gu Li raised his hand and touched the child's warm face, and sneered: "I am ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to wipe out the rebels, how can I talk about rebellion?" Crown
Prince?
These two words disappeared from the ears of the nobles in the capital for a long time, causing the second son of the Duke of Fuguo to be a little stunned when he heard them again.
After being stunned for a moment, the second son of the Duke of Fuguo suddenly changed his expression: "How is this possible?"
Didn't the prince die at the border?
He was chased by the Huns and fell from the high cliff into the dense forest. There was no body left!
The person who came back to report that day had already confirmed this!
The ridiculous little emperor on the dragon throne still thought that everything was his credit, but he didn't know the role played by the nobles.
They would never allow a prince who attempted to deprive his title to ascend the throne to shake their power, let alone allow a prince with such an idea to live in this world.
Therefore, they quietly gave help when the emperor took action, so that his ambitious prince died at the border.
But these people never expected that the extremely cowardly emperor actually had the same idea as his elder brother, and even his methods were more reckless and violent.
Sure enough, the desire for power runs in the blood of the Yin family, and they also do not allow anyone to threaten their throne.
The second son of Duke Fuguo was trembling at this moment, and he couldn't help wondering whether the prince was in danger or not, what he was doing this time, how many soldiers he had, and how much impact it would have on tonight.
But the more he thought about it, the more scared he became.
How could the man who always planned and strategized allow himself to appear in the capital without any preparation?
Perhaps at the moment he appeared, the situation in the capital had already been determined.
He managed to force a smile on his face, but there was murderous intent in his eyes: "I, Duke of Fuguo, know that the current throne is not legitimate and is plotting to kill the prince. Today I am going to the palace to serve the king."
"Your Highness is back just in time. We don't need to use a royal son to ascend the throne." He stretched out his hand and handed the swaddling clothes to Gu Li: "Here, take it."
The moment the swaddling clothes were handed to Gu Li, a trace of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the second son of Duke of Fuguo.
Want to stop his father, go to hell!
Gu Li, however, seemed to have noticed his little move long ago. She raised her hand and grabbed his wrist, smiling: "Second Young Master, what are you going to do?"
The next moment, she exerted force on her hand, and the grinding sound of broken bones resounded in the darkness, followed by the screams of the Second Young Master of the Duke of Fuguo.
The screams seemed to have turned on some kind of switch, and countless arrows flew out from behind Gu Li.
Blood spread in the air, and Gu Li stepped over the body of the Second Young Master of the Duke of Fuguo with an expressionless face and moved towards the direction of the palace.
In front of the palace, the guards left by the Duke of Fuguo turned pale when they saw the huge number of soldiers coming.
This...
where did these people come from?
How could they appear here?
Gu Li handed the child in her arms to the people behind her and asked them to take him to a safe place.
The spear hit the ground with a muffled sound, and the bloodstain on the tip of the spear also reflected the outline of the infiltrator in the firelight.
She said coldly: "On the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, strangle the rebels."
"Surrender your weapons now, there is still a chance to survive."
Otherwise, this place will become their grave today.
At this moment, several other city gates were also captured by Yin Shi's generals.
His soldiers stepped into the imperial city again.
Yin Shi entered from the north gate. He was wearing the clothes that once belonged to the crown prince, and he also took off Zhou Heng's mask, revealing his original appearance.
The pair of eyes that always had a smile on their faces were narrow and long, and the light flowing in the waves seemed to contain affection.
He didn't look like a prince returning to his country for revenge, but more like a young man who came for an outing.
Zhou Heng rode beside him, looking heroic in his armor, no longer as elegant as before.
He looked around vigilantly, trying to find anyone who could harm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Zichuan, how do you feel?" Yin Shi was the only one who could still smile in the killing team.
The warhorse leisurely trod on the blood-stained street, as if heading home.
Zhou Heng, whose courtesy name was Zichuan, listened to the prince's words without any emotion on his face. He just said lightly: "I don't have any special feelings."
As early as the moment he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not dead, he knew that this day would come sooner or later.
If there is any accident, that is...
Zhou Heng blocked a cold arrow with his hand, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his face: "Can you... cancel my engagement with the prince of Yong'an Earl's Mansion after you ascend the throne?"
He didn't want to be another man's concubine for the rest of his life.
His Highness could shamelessly call him a concubine, but he couldn't.
Moreover, it was heard that the prince of Yong'an Earl had always liked male beauty and was extraordinary. What if he mistook him for His Highness and forced himself on him?
Thinking of this, a trace of bitterness and helplessness appeared on Zhou Heng's icy face.
