Chapter 493: Fierce Fighting
Zhu Ling and the little emperor were instantly inspired and in much better spirits.
Then, the nine women reached into their arms.
"No, protect everyone!" The second prince immediately realized that they were going to shoot hidden weapons at everyone, and shouted.
Yue Haoyun, Xifeng, Jinhu, Yinbao, and a dozen guards under Yue Haoyun all performed Qinggong and flew into the air.
These more than ten people drew out the steel knives or long swords at their waists and swung them in the air at a rapid speed.
A dozen darts flew towards the crowd.
The rapidly swinging weapons knocked the darts to the ground, making a bang bang sound.
There were also a few darts that were not knocked down and hit a few unlucky people.
Immediately, several ugly screams came from the crowd.
At the same time, Liang Chaozong, who had been forced to the ground for a long time, took advantage of the opportunity when the two generals who were suppressing him were avoiding the hidden weapons, and suddenly pushed away the long spear that was suppressing him, and jumped up with a somersault.
Then, he pulled down a piece of the curtain in the hall, turned around beautifully, and wrapped it around his body to cover his naked body.
After the nine women in the air fired a wave of hidden weapons, Mei'er led three of them and flew towards Zhu Ling and the little emperor, while the remaining five fought with Xifeng and others.
Because the four sturdy palace maids who were suppressing Zhu Ling and the little emperor were distracted by the hidden weapons, Mei'er and her companions easily knocked the palace maids to the ground, picked up Zhu Ling and the little emperor, and flew away.
Zhu Ling shouted, "Save Mr. Liang!"
Mei'er did not hesitate, and immediately flew back, grabbed one of Liang Chaozong's arms, and jumped.
Seeing this, Liang Chaozong also hurriedly performed his Qinggong.
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Ling and others had already flown into the air and flew away.
"Not good, stop them!" Yue Haoyun shouted.
Xifeng and others hurried to chase them, but they had already flown far away.
At this time, the commander of the imperial guards, Xue Yi, who had been silent, bowed to Yue Haoyun and said, "Don't worry, my Lord. Prime Minister Lin has asked me to make all the preparations in advance." "
They are running to the south, and they must climb over the south wall of the palace. I have arranged imperial guards to wait outside the palace wall!"
Yue Haoyun's frown relaxed a little after hearing this.
Before the action, he only knew that the commander of the imperial guards promised to quietly dispatch 800 elite imperial guards to meet them outside the palace. Unexpectedly, Xue Yi was so thoughtful and careful.
He clasped his fists towards Xue Yi to show his gratitude, and then said loudly: "Doctor Yu, stay and treat the injured. Military generals and young and strong people, follow me!"
"They are fleeing to the south, and Jinghu is the only way. Let's go to Jinghu!"
Jinghu is a small artificial lake in the Dai Viet Palace. It is located in the south of the palace and next to the southern palace wall.
On the edge of Jinghu, there are staggered rockery and unique pavilions. There is also a stone bridge in the narrow part of the lake.
After hearing this, everyone responded and picked up their robes and followed Yue Haoyun, running towards the south.
Although Yue Haoyun ordered that only military officers and strong men should follow, human nature made them want to cling to Yue Haoyun and gain some credit for establishing the country. On the other hand, curiosity got the better of them and they also wanted to see the excitement of Zhu Ling and the others. Therefore
, those civil officials who were not very strong also tried their best to follow behind.
What's more, two officials who were hit by hidden weapons in their arms and shoulders also ran to the south after the imperial physician removed the hidden weapons and bandaged them.
Seeing this scene, Xia Miaoyuan's blood boiled, and she raised her two little fists and urged: "Brother, hurry up! Let's catch Liang Chaozong quickly, it will be bad if he runs away!"
The second prince readily agreed, carried his sister on his back, tied her with a piece of silk, and then sank his qi into his dantian and ran out quickly.
Xia Miaoyuan had never experienced the second prince running with his inner strength. She tightly grasped the second prince's shoulders, and felt the wind whirring in her ears, and she felt like she was flying.
[My second brother is so handsome!]
Soon, the second prince had arrived at Jinghu Lake with his sister on his back.
Before she stopped, Xia Miaoyuan heard the sound of weapons clashing.
Looking closely, a dozen dark figures were already fighting on the stone bridge of Jinghu Lake.
Xia Miaoyuan carefully identified them for a long time before he could tell that they were the women who came to rescue Zhu Ling, and they were struggling to resist Yue Haoyun's guards.
There were also four imperial guards assisting the guards.
On the rockery behind the stone bridge, Zhu Ling, the little emperor, and Liang Chaozong were hiding, and three female guards were holding long swords to protect them.
It seemed that Zhu Ling and his group were caught up when they fled to the south palace wall. The imperial guards outside the wall heard the noise and climbed over the wall to assist Yue Haoyun's guards.
Yue Haoyun and the princes and ministers who followed him watched the fight nervously.
Although Yue Haoyun's side had the advantage in numbers, their martial arts were not as good as those women.
Therefore, the two sides fought for a long time, and it was unclear who would win.
For the safety of his sister, the second prince chose a sturdy willow tree, held his sister and stood behind the tree to watch.
"Come on, come on! Catch them!" Xia Miaoyuan shouted excitedly.
At this time, the eunuchs who were originally on routine patrol on the palace road were attracted by the movement and ran over.
They didn't understand what was going on, and they stood there hesitantly, holding the steel swords at their waists, not knowing which side to help.
Minister Lin shouted at them, "Queen Mother Zhu had joined hands with Prime Minister Han to murder the late emperor. The evidence is solid. She also caused chaos in the harem. Today, they must be brought to justice! Hurry up and capture Zhu, her son, and her adulterer!"
The guards heard this and drew their steel knives from their waists and headed towards Zhu Ling and others on the rockery.
Seeing this, Zhu Ling shouted, "Don't be fooled by this old man. Today, Minister Lin and the Great King are conspiring to rebel! Hurry up and capture Yue Haoyun, Minister Lin and others! I will reward you greatly!"
The guards heard this and their puzzled expressions became more serious. They looked at Minister Lin and then at the rockery.
"Go and capture Zhu!" Minister Lin said anxiously.
"Hurry up and capture Minister Lin and Yue Haoyun!" Zhu Ling shouted.
The seven guards hesitated.
At this time, the Minister of War, Meng Yong, angrily scolded: "A bunch of idiots!"
While scolding, he flew to the guards, snatched the steel knife of a guard, and flew to the stone bridge to help them fight with the female guards.
Seeing this, the other generals followed suit, rushed up, snatched the weapons of the guards, and joined the fierce battle.
