After the emperor left, Shangguan Ziqi quietly left the palace.
The guards in the palace had already been arranged, and the important people had left, so the possibility of assassins attacking the palace was very small.
What's more, there are many palace guards and guards brought by various mansions in the palace, which are enough to deal with emergencies.
The commander of the palace guards was stationed in the palace, so he didn't need to worry about the safety of the palace.
He led his men to lurk on the periphery, secretly following the emperor until Prince Rong gave a signal, and then he led the men to appear.
At this time, all the men in black have been dispatched, and it is the best time to annihilate them.
However, they were still some distance away from the emperor, so they couldn't reach him so quickly.
A ray of light gradually appeared on the horizon, and although the vision improved, it was still blurry.
Shangguan Ziqi led 500 men into the battlefield, and the situation immediately turned around.
At this time, the emperor was still surrounded by a dozen men in black, and his guards fell one after another. The situation was critical.
The third prince held a long sword and always protected the emperor's left arm. The three of them had been forced to the edge of the cliff.
What the emperor did not expect was that the palace maid beside Concubine Wan also snatched a long sword from the enemy and joined in the fight.
The emperor also wielded his sword and fought with the two men in black. He was injured in the process.
At this moment, a man in black broke through the maid's defense and stabbed the emperor from behind.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Concubine Wan screamed and pounced on the emperor, using her body to block the fatal sword for him.
When the emperor heard the scream, he swung his sword and knocked the two assassins off the cliff.
Turning around, he saw Wanpin blocking a sword for him and rushing towards him.
Wanpin's pounce made the emperor lose his balance and he fell off the cliff.
The third prince was also killing the enemy in front of him at this time. Seeing this, he pounced forward and grabbed with his left hand, as if to catch the emperor who fell.
"Father!"
The third prince hooked his feet tightly onto the ground, trying his best to prevent himself from being pulled down the cliff.
Upon seeing this, a guard also tried his best to kill the man in black opposite him. He pounced like a tiger and grabbed the feet of the third prince with both hands to increase the pulling force to prevent him from slipping.
At the critical moment, the prince arrived with several secret guards.
Just then he saw the third prince crawling on the ground.
The prince rushed over with a sword step, and together they pulled the emperor up.
"Father, are you okay?" the third prince asked concernedly.
"No problem." The emperor looked calm as he glanced around the battlefield.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the remaining few men in black jumped off a cliff and committed suicide.
At this time, Shangguan Ziqi also arrived with his men chasing dozens of men in black.
After a fierce battle, several men in black jumped off the cliff, and the siege finally ended.
"Your Majesty, except for a few who jumped off the cliff, all the enemies have been wiped out." Shangguan Ziqi stepped forward and bowed to report.
"Well, go down the mountain."
The emperor looked at Wanpin lying on the ground, blood flowing from her back. He leaned over, picked her up, and strode down the mountain.
Prince Jing and the eldest prince also arrived. Seeing the emperor holding the injured Concubine Wan, they hurried forward.
"Brother Emperor, are you hurt?" Prince Jing asked with concern.
"Father, please forgive me for being late." The eldest prince bowed and apologized.
"No need, let's go back to the palace first. Concubine Wan blocked a sword for me and needs timely medical treatment." The emperor spoke in a calm tone and walked in front with steady steps.
Everyone followed closely behind, while Shangguan Ziqi stayed behind to clean up the mess.
Prince Rong couldn't help but frown when he saw that the Emperor was still able to walk briskly while holding Concubine Wan.
When did the emperor gain such physical strength?
After all, Concubine Wan is an adult woman, not a three-year-old child.
As the prince was thinking, the emperor in front of him slowed down again and staggered.
The prince then withdrew his puzzled look.
Besides, Yu Yuanzheng was waiting anxiously in the cave under the cliff.
Xia Yu stood guard at the entrance of the cave, paying attention to any sounds coming from above.
When he heard the shouting and killing, he immediately came in to report.
"Princess, it moved." Xia Yu still looked excited.
It is said that the Emperor's plan to kill fish has begun.
"Really, it's too much. Everyone, get ready.
I think there is enough space for three people to stand at the entrance of the cave. When you see people falling from above, catch them all at the entrance.
If they are enemies, kill them directly. If they are our own people, take them into the cave and settle them down."
Yu Yuanzheng immediately perked up.
The spring thunder ordered the summer rain and the autumn wind to go to the cave entrance.
There was a slight light in the sky, and they could see more clearly.
Sure enough, not long after, someone fell down, and it turned out to be the man in black.
Without saying anything, just kill.
But just after killing two men in black, the third one fell down.
Chunlei saw that the man was lying on his back with his body sideways, and his figure fell rapidly. He didn't want to catch it, because if he fell in this position, he would definitely die.
But as the figure got closer, the color of the clothes didn't look like black.
He reacted immediately, swung the whip and caught the man, but because of his hesitation, the distance he fell was a little far, and he failed to catch him. Chunlei was dragged forward and pulled out of the cave. He held the whip with one hand and quickly pulled out the dagger with the other hand and inserted it into the mountain wall. Xiayu and Qiufeng helped. The three of them worked together to pull the man up to the cave entrance.
This is amazing.
"emperor!?"
The three were startled, but fortunately they caught the man with a whip.
The emperor was helped up by the autumn wind.
"I am sorry for failing in my duty and frightening the emperor." The three of them apologized.
"Yes, go in." The emperor did not blame him.
The emperor was also very scared at this time.
The original plan was to jump down by himself.
As a result, he was caught off guard by Concubine Wan.
And just as he was falling, he saw a person hiding in the crevice of the rock less than ten feet below the cliff.
As soon as he landed, the man jumped up and was caught by the hand of the Third Emperor.
It was too dark, and he didn't see what happened next.
Then he was caught by Chunlei and others.
Several people entered the cave.
"Your Majesty?" Yu Yuanzheng stood up immediately when he saw the person coming and asked with concern, "Are you still here?"
"I suffered some minor injuries." The emperor was fighting two enemies at the same time and was scratched several times by the enemy's swords.
But he also knocked the two men off the cliff,
Although he hasn't used force for so many years, he is still as skilled as ever.
"I will treat your wound right away." Yu Yuanzheng immediately took out the medicine box and prepared to bandage the emperor.
"Dong Ling, Zhui Yue, Zhu Yue, the three of you go to the cave entrance and guard it, and continue to provide support."
Chunlei helped the emperor take off his shirt.
Xia Yu lit a few more candles.
The light in the cave became a little brighter.
As the emperor's clothes were taken off, several wounds were exposed.
There was a long sword wound from the shoulder to the chest, but it was only a shallow scratch on the skin.
Blood was oozing out of his vagina.
There were also a few scratches on the arms, just as the Emperor said, minor injuries.
Yu Yuanzheng first wiped the area around the wound with homemade alcohol, and then applied some hemostatic medicine.
No suturing is required.
During the whole process, the emperor did not cry out in pain and his face was cold.
You can tell at a glance that he is thinking about something.
"It's over." Yu Yuanzheng said softly.
The emperor then came to his senses.
Chunlei served and helped the emperor put on his clothes.
But the clothes were torn in many places.
But the emperor didn't mind.
At this moment, several screams were heard from outside the cave.
After a while, three people came in.
Followed by Shangguan Ziqi.
When he saw the emperor sitting on the stone bench, his eyes widened in shock.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
