This incident happened in front of all the ministers. There are witnesses and physical evidence. It is a good opportunity to strike at the Chu King's family. Even if the Chu King and the Duke of Zhenguo cannot be killed, they must be shown some of their power. Do they really think they are soft persimmons?
Recently, he has gained a high reputation among the ministers, and more and more people are loyal to him. No matter how legitimate the Chu King's faction is, if he rebels at this time, he can be taken down in one fell swoop, even if there are some losses. Keeping him as a cancer will always be a danger.
He sent someone to give orders to General Cui and the barracks in the north of the city, asking them to enter the city immediately to quell the riot as soon as they saw the signal he sent.
Everyone was just watching the show at the beginning, but by the end they had become actors in the play. They knew their own business, and some people had defected to the King of Chu. They were so scared that they wished they could shrink into the ground.
Some people wondered if they could quit now and join the emperor to have a chance to survive.
Some people hoped that the King of Chu would simply rebel. After all, the Duke of Zhenguo had an army of 200,000 men in his hands, so he might not lose if a real fight broke out. It would be better than being thrown into prison and convicted.
"Pingyang, I'm afraid things won't be peaceful outside for a while, and the mansion isn't safe either. Why don't you come back to the palace with me? I'll let the imperial physician take care of you."
"Okay, I'll go back to the palace with the emperor!"
"Everyone, please go back."
The Emperor and Princess Pingyang were in front, planning to return to the palace together, but they had just left a short distance when they hurried back.
"Quickly close the gates, everyone retreat to the inner courtyard and hide in the houses. The Feather Guards send the signal and prepare to fight the enemy!"
"What's going on?"
"The King of Chu and the Duke of Zhenguo have rebelled. They led their men to fight off the arresters and are heading towards the Princess's residence."
"What should we do? We are all trapped in the princess's mansion. There are not many guards in the mansion, and the emperor's guards are not many either. Can we hold on?"
"Everyone, listen to me. Anyone who knows martial arts and archery, come forward. Let's help guard the gate together."
Some are worried and scared, some want to give it a try, some find a place to hide, and some stand up to help arrange things. Everyone has their own opinions.
"Mom, today's incident is really unexpectedly big. It's even bigger than the attack from the previous dynasty. We have stirred up a hornet's nest."
"You can blame me for this. I didn't know I was just talking nonsense. The King of Chu and the Duke of Zhenguo were also forced into a desperate situation. Who made them keep thinking about usurping the throne?
If it had not been revealed today that they were trying to kill the prince and cut off the emperor's heir, the emperor would not have been so angry. Even if he knew of their plan before, he never actually took action.
The emperor should thank me, otherwise he wouldn't have known his son was killed. Although I stirred up trouble, I saved his son's life."
"Haha, you just don't want to take responsibility. In fact, there will be a war between the two sides eventually, it just depends on who is ready first. The current situation is that both sides are unexpected and it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. I don't think this will be a big deal."
"I'm afraid the Emperor's men won't arrive fast enough!"
"The other party is also gambling, to see who can arrive faster. Whoever is faster will have the upper hand. As long as the emperor is dead, everything will be easy."
"Should I send you to the space? If a fight breaks out I'll definitely have to go over and help, so I won't be able to take care of you!"
"No, I'm outside helping to see if there are any of the other side's people among these people."
"Yes, there is a high possibility that one of their men is among these people. Then you follow Qinglian Hongying and find two knives for them. I will go to the front to block them. We must capture the leader first. If we can directly injure the enemy's leader, it will be beneficial to us."
"Okay, you should pay attention to the other party's arrows. Don't underestimate their archery skills. They are comparable to your spear skills."
"Um!"
Bai Zhiyue asked the guards of the princess's mansion for two knives for Qinglian and the other person.
"Just protect the young master, and call me if you need anything!"
"Don't worry, Madam!"
Bai Zhiyue went to the front with a gun
"Your Majesty, please follow me inside. It's too dangerous here."
Gao Qizheng persuaded the emperor
"No need. Today, it must be my life or his death. I don't believe he can gather many troops at once. My signal has been sent, and it won't be long before a large group of reinforcements arrives. We just need to hold out for this period of time."
"But swords and arrows have no eyes..."
"If I hide behind now, what will happen to the people in the mansion? How many of them can defend desperately?"
This is true. The palace soldiers, guards and secret guards brought by the other party, plus several generals and officials who have also rebelled, are several times more than the number brought by the emperor. Even if the people from the princess's mansion are included, it is still not enough. Before the emperor's people arrive, they need to try their best to stop people from breaking in.
The house is full of officials, nobles, their families and children. If anything goes wrong, it will be difficult for him to deal with it.
"Your Majesty, I will go to the high wall over there and see if I can stop the incoming people. Guns have a longer range than bows and arrows. If I can seize the opportunity to hit the main people, I can disperse their morale."
It was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. If the master fell, no one would risk their lives to rebel.
"Okay, here are the bullets I brought with me. Gao Qi will leave me one box and give the rest to Madam Rongfu."
"yes"
Gao Qi opened the small box he had been holding, and inside were small boxes of bullets.
"Madam, the Emperor brought one box with him this time. He left one box and took the rest."
Ever since the emperor couldn't use his gun last time because it had no bullets, he remembered this lesson very well and always kept enough bullets with him.
"That's enough!"
Bai Zhiyue jumped onto the high wall with the box in her hand. At this time, the rebels outside had already come not far from the mansion. The guards who were responsible for stopping the robbery suffered heavy losses. The two streets ahead were visibly filled with people and blood.
She aimed at the armored soldier who was leading the enemy team in the fight. The first shot hit one of them in the helmet, but it didn't penetrate. The quality of the helmet was pretty good.
The other party seemed to know what weapon she used and raised the knife in this direction.
Provocation is definitely a provocation
"Don't think that we can't do anything to you just because you're dressed like this."
Aim at his eyes again, poof
He fell to the ground in disbelief, the knife in his hand pointing in her direction.
"General!"
"Quick, archers, rush over and shoot in that direction. Shoot her like a sieve."
A dozen archers suddenly appeared, all facing her direction. A team of people protected the archers and rushed forward. The current distance was still a little short. It would be best if the arrows were within a hundred meters. Any farther would not work.
Bai Zhiyue fired continuously at the guards who were rushing forward. They were not wearing such thick armor, so every shot was accurate. Even if they were not killed in one shot, it reduced the burden on the guards.
The archers were forced to retreat again.
She continued to search for her target. On another street, a team was about to rush to the princess's mansion. There were only a few dozen guards left, and the situation was very critical.
The leader of the team looked like he had been to the battlefield and he killed people very decisively, but the people he killed were not from the enemy country.
The big sword seemed to weigh dozens of pounds, and he swung it with great vigor. Yu Wei's sword was no match for it, and it either broke or flew away.
Seeing that even the Yuwei couldn't defend themselves, they were completely risking their lives against time.
Bai Zhiyue fired several shots in succession, but they were all blocked by him with his big knife.
This guy is a troublemaker
