Chapter 198 Risking Life
The sound of dense horse hooves came from the palace gate.
Then the Saker Falcon with a wingspan of six feet suddenly dived down from the air and glided to the side of the man on horseback.
The man reined in his horse in the middle of the square. The horse neighed and dropped its front hooves heavily.
Li Yanchang narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "Xie, Ting, Zhou, how did you get in?"
"I let him in." The commander of the Imperial Guards, Jiang An, looked stern. "Since he's back, let him in and catch him in one fell swoop. If he is allowed to go back to Beilin to mobilize troops, it will only cause endless troubles."
Since Jiang An learned that Shen Yu was a woman, he had to re-examine the relationship between her and Xie Tingzhou.
He had not expected Xie Tingzhou to come back. He had finally escaped from the cage, but he came to him for a woman. He looked down on him.
Chen Yu looked at Xie Tingzhou, her heart aching with anger, "Why didn't you leave?!"
Xie Tingzhou glanced around and said, "Let's solve the problem at hand first, and then I'll apologize to you later."
Li Yanchang sneered: "Now that you are here, do you think you can leave?"
"Did you forget that there is a knife on your neck?" Shen Yu approached the blade on her neck.
Li Yanchang smiled and said, "I bet you don't dare to do it. Just try and see which one is easier to chop off, the little grandson's head or mine."
The imperial guard who was holding the emperor's grandson hostage was holding a child who was not even as long as the knife in his hand. The baby cried until his voice became hoarse.
The Crown Princess kept crying, and Li Zhaonian turned his face away, not daring to look.
"She is soft-hearted." Xie Tingzhou slowly raised his bow and aimed at Li Yanchang, "But I am different."
As soon as Jiang An raised his hand, he heard footsteps and swish sounds. The imperial guards surrounded the square and drew their swords.
Xie Tingzhou squinted, the bow blocked one of his eyes, he raised his eyelids and looked at Chen Yu.
They looked at each other.
In this silent gaze, they seemed to understand each other's words.
The corners of Xie Tingzhou's lips hidden behind the bow curled up, and he knew that she understood.
"It should be..." Chen Yu whispered in Li Yanchang's ear, emphasizing each word, "Your head is easier to chop off."
The accident happened at this moment.
The bowstring made a creaking sound.
Zheng——, the moment his fingers loosened, the knife on Li Yanchang's neck also left.
His neck
He felt a chill and his eyes subconsciously followed the direction the blade had left.
The blade was originally like blood, and at this moment, Shen Yu threw it out with a string of splattering blood beads, spinning towards the imperial guards.
Li Yanchang covered his throat in shock, and warm blood flowed out from between his fingers.
"How...how..." Blood came out of his mouth.
Li Yanchang could not survive. Shen Yu's cut was very skillful. Li Yanchang would not die immediately, but even the Great Luo Immortal would not be able to sew his neck back together.
She wanted him to watch her blood drain out of his body, and let him slowly feel death approaching.
Xie Tingzhou's feather arrow tore through the wind, spinning in the wind, and shot towards the imperial guards who were holding the emperor's grandson hostage like lightning.
laugh--
The feather arrow pierced the body of the imperial guard who was holding the emperor's grandson hostage. Following closely behind, the bright red Phoenix Sword spun in the air and cut off the imperial guard's head.
The imperial guard fell back heavily, and the baby in his hand was thrown high up. Shen Yu raised her body movement to the extreme. This was the fastest she had ever run in her life.
She jumped up by stepping on someone's shoulder, caught the baby in mid-air, and then grabbed the bloody Yin Feng.
The python robe fluttered violently in the air, and her breathing was still tight when she landed.
It all happened so fast, without any verbal communication, and no one was prepared.
Neither of them stopped. Xie Tingzhou drew his bow and arrow in one go, and three feather arrows instantly shot into the back of the guards.
Chen Yu drew her sword swiftly and cut off the head of the nearest imperial guard in an instant.
"Hold him tight." Chen Yu stuffed the crying grandson into the Crown Princess's hand and pushed her towards Xuanhui Palace, "Hide over there."
The scene became chaotic, and the princes and concubines all ran towards the Xuanhui Palace, which was their way to survive.
"Capture them!" Jiang An didn't care about Li Yanchang and shouted immediately, "The prince of Beilin and the chief military officer Chen Yu have assassinated the prince and are trying to kill the king. Whoever can take their heads will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold!"
Chen Yu looked around and saw that the imperial guards were surrounding her vigilantly and slowly shrinking the encirclement. She had no choice but to retreat to Xuanhui Palace.
But she also has Xie Tingzhou, with the imperial guards between them.
There were thousands of people, and it was impossible to see the end of them. Even a round-the-clock battle would trap them to death here.
Xie Tingzhou looked at Chen Yu. He was ready to walk to her side through a sea of blood and corpses.
He slowly pulled out the Shuang hanging on the horse.
The long-silent blade glowed silver in the hand of its owner, as if it was excited about the killing spree that was to follow.
"Thank you Tingzhou!" Jiang An's eyes widened with anger, "You haven't lost all your martial arts skills? You hid it really well, but it doesn't matter, I will smash you to pieces today."
Xie Tingzhou looked up and said, "Li Yanchang is already dead, why don't you surrender?"
"Do you think I'm stupid? I've already rebelled. If I surrender now, I'll be dead. I'll kill you first." Jiang An's face was ferocious.
"Imperial guards, listen to my orders!" Jiang An pointed directly at the Crown Princess, "Grab the child from her arms. I will use him. The rest of you, kill them without mercy!"
Shen Yu knew what Jiang An was planning.
Li Yanchang can't survive, and Jiang An is now in a dilemma. Surrendering will surely lead to death. It is better to seek wealth and honor in danger and fight for a higher and more dangerous future.
He wanted to massacre the palace, put the blame on Xie Tingzhou and Beilin, and then support the infant grandson to ascend the throne, while he would be the regent who controlled the government behind the scenes.
Chen Yu looked towards the palace gate, which was tightly closed, and there was no movement coming from outside.
Why hasn’t it arrived yet? she thought to herself.
"Go to the door!" Chen Yu shouted at Xie Tingzhou, wielding a knife and rushing towards Xie Tingzhou.
She transferred all the available personnel in the imperial guards to guard the Xuanhui Palace. At this moment, the two groups of people were already fighting each other.
The imperial guards in front of the Xuanhui Palace protected the princes and concubines, and held the steps tightly to prevent other imperial guards from attacking.
The brothers who once fought side by side have now reached the point where they are drawing their swords against each other and fighting to the death.
Shouts and cries of killing filled the air. Chen Yu fought and retreated, and finally stood side by side with Xie Tingzhou.
Countless imperial guards fell before them, leaving no place left on the ground.
The blood spread along the gaps between the golden bricks on the square's floor, weaving a scarlet web in the palace.
So brave!
They are all people who have been soaked in the blood of enemies on the battlefield. How can they be compared with the imperial guards who guard the imperial palace all year round?
Those are two killing gods who will kill any god that stands in their way, and any Buddha that stands in their way!
The imperial guards were afraid of being killed, and fearing that they would be the next to fall, they hesitated and dared not move forward.
