Chapter 385 The Unstoppable Third Prince
Late at night, under the rain curtain city wall, everyone was happy.
Perhaps it was because they had been together for several years and suddenly had to leave, so the atmosphere was inevitably a little sad.
"Let's take a rest tomorrow and hold a farewell banquet for you together!"
"Thank you, Brother Liu!"
"You are lucky, you are still young, you can do some business when you go back, if you are bullied at home in the future, you must tell us!"
"Don't worry, I can't stand being bullied!"
"That's hard to say, what if you are bullied by your wife?"
"She dares?!" Xiao Li blushed, but still stared, trying to show his fearlessness.
But everyone has known each other for several years, how can they not know him?
"Come on, you have thin arms and legs, if you are taken care of by a few of us on weekdays, I am afraid that ordinary people can bully you. You must be a coward in front of your wife!"
Xiao Li blushed and wanted to refute, but he didn't refute a word.
Seeing this, everyone was filled with a happy atmosphere.
"Okay, stop joking. This is the last shift tonight. We will have a day off tomorrow after we finish our duty. We can have a good rest for a few days. Don't let anything go wrong at this critical moment!"
"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong. How can anything happen during the Chinese New Year?"
"..."
Although everyone said so, they quickly returned to their respective posts.
The rain seemed to be getting heavier, and the cold wind was blowing, piercing the face. These city defense soldiers wearing thick armor were still shivering from the cold.
Looking up at the brightly lit scene not far ahead, with fireworks rushing into the sky, I couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Especially the young man named Xiao Li, he looked ahead with longing.
I wonder what my wife is doing at home?
My wife should be with my mother, right? I wonder what they are eating tonight... I don't know if my daughter is weird...
In a few days, he will be able to go home!
Thinking of this, Xiao Li was shocked, his eyes were slightly bright, as if some impulsive emotions were surging, and even this cold winter could not feel a bit of cold.
Just then, there was a sound of galloping horses in front of him.
Several figures on horseback suddenly appeared in the rain curtain in front of him.
These figures were all wearing black long clothes, shrouded in darkness, wearing bamboo hats, and were riding horses and rushing towards the city gate.
The soldiers guarding the city gate saw someone suddenly approaching in the dark night, and they immediately became alert.
"Who is in front?!"
The city defense general immediately took a step forward and blocked these black shadows.
"Pah!"
The black shadow man in the lead took out a token from his arms and threw it on the ground in front of the city defense general.
The token was stained with rain and mud, and it was instantly dirty.
The city defense general's eyes condensed, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. But he still resisted, lowered his head and picked up the token on the ground. After just one look, his eyes suddenly changed, a trace of fear flashed across his face, and then he became respectful.
"Open the city gate!"
The leading man in black had a hoarse voice and no emotion in his tone.
The city defense commander did not dare to slack off, and immediately turned around and waved: "Open the gate!"
Hearing the order, Xiao Li, who was in charge of guarding the city gate, immediately came to the city gate with several colleagues next to him.
Although it was unclear why someone dared to go out of the city gate in the middle of the night, since it was an order, they dared not disobey.
Xiao Li took off his sword and came to the gate with several city defense soldiers to open the city gate.
"Squeak!"
With the noisy sound, the city gate was slowly opened.
Xiao Li leaned aside, panting, and was very tired after opening the city gate once.
"My lords, please!"
The city defense commander spoke respectfully, lowering his head.
On horseback, the leading black-clad man looked up expressionlessly at the city gate. In the rain in the distance, there seemed to be a black shadow moving quickly.
It was approaching the city gate at a high speed!
"What's outside the city?!"
Someone soon noticed something was wrong.
When the city defense commander heard this, he subconsciously turned his head to look outside the city gate.
When he saw the figure outside the city gate approaching like an ant, he realized something was wrong at the first time with his experience!
That, that's a person...
Is it, the army? !
Not good!
As soon as this thought came to his mind, the next second, he suddenly froze in place. A pain in the back of his neck came, followed by a dizzy spell.
His head fell heavily into the mud, and in the last glance, he saw that his body was still standing straight in place.
It seemed that he had not yet realized what had happened!
On the horse next to him, the black-clad man wearing a bamboo hat had no expression on his face, and he took out his knife from its sheath, and the blood on the knife was quickly washed away by the rain!
This sudden scene made everyone stunned!
They didn't expect what happened at all!
What happened?
Their leader was, killed? !
Killed by their own people? !
The soldiers at the city gate stared blankly at their leader's head and body, which fell into the mud, mixed with blood, and died with eyes wide open.
They couldn't believe it and had no idea what happened!
By the time they reacted, the black shadow on the horse's back had rushed into them with a knife like a trail of afterimages.
The knife fell!
Blood flew!
Several bright red lives were taken away in an instant!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"
At this moment, the soldiers defending the city finally reacted and something big happened!
But before they had time to organize a resistance, these black shadows quickly came to kill them again.
Everyone is a first-class master, their martial arts skills are unfathomable, and they are simply not something that these city defense soldiers can resist.
In just a short moment, corpses were already strewn at the door, and countless people were wailing in pain and shouting loudly.
At the same time, Xiao Li at the door was also stunned.
He stared in shock not far away, where his leader's head fell to the ground, and he felt cold and trembling all over.
He was almost stunned and froze in place.
Until a cold arrow suddenly struck!
"careful!"
A figure quickly stepped forward and threw him to the ground.
Xiao Li fell to the ground, and then he saw that the person who had saved him just now was...
"Brother Liu?!"
"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Waiting to die?!" Brother Liu cursed.
Xiao Li's eyes were dull and frightened: "What, what's going on?"
"How the hell do I know?!"
Brother Liu looked solemn and cursed. When he saw Xiao Li still looking dull, he immediately shouted angrily: "Don't be stupid, come and close the city gate!"
Hearing this cold shout, Xiao Li seemed to be brought back to his senses by the shout. He immediately jumped up and looked up at the door.
His face turned pale instantly!
people!
All people!
Densely packed people...
Wearing armor, fully armed... soldiers!
"Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly!!"
At the city gate, some soldiers had already noticed something was wrong.
Open the door and there are people outside!
An army of heavily armed soldiers appeared out of nowhere!
They must not be allowed to enter the city!
Xiao Li struggled to get up, his whole body felt weak, and he staggered to the city gate.
"Brother Liu, let me help you..."
Before Xiao Li could finish his words, a long arrow whistled from the distance outside the city gate.
Instantly penetrated Brother Liu's body!
Brother Liu, who was struggling to close the door, went limp and fell to the ground stiffly.
Blood instantly splashed all over Xiao Li's face.
"Brother Liu?!"
Xiao Li's face turned pale with fear. He stepped forward in panic and tried to help Brother Liu. Brother Liu vomited blood and his eyes were unwilling to give in. He struggled to reach out his hand.
But in the end, it fell powerlessly!
Brother Liu, is he dead? !
Brother Liu, who was chatting and laughing with him one second, died in front of him the next second!
At this moment, Xiao Li felt cold all over his body!
A deep fear surged into my heart, and along with it, there was also anger!
Surprisingly angry!
Revenge, he wants to avenge Brother Liu! !
Xiao Li grabbed the long knife that Brother Liu had dropped and turned around angrily.
But the next second, his pupils suddenly dilated.
In the sight of the dark pupils, a fierce horse galloped from a distance. On the horseback, a long silver knife illuminated the night.
The cold light passed by!
Xiao Li's body was frozen in place, motionless.
After a while.
"Crack!"
His head fell from his body silently, but his face still maintained the anger and a somewhat confused look.
Before he finally lost consciousness, all he saw in his sight was the dark figure, rushing in like a tide.
Submerge him completely!
…
late at night!
Imperial City.
Shrouded in rain, the atmosphere was tense.
Just outside the imperial city, it is located in a mansion a few streets away from the bustling place.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was tense and filled with a sense of solemnity.
"call out!"
In this moment of silence, not far away from the south gate outside the city, a bouquet of fireworks suddenly lit up.
Fireworks soar into the sky, loud and turbulent!
In this silent night, it was booming and spectacular.
"It's done!"
A surprised voice suddenly sounded.
In the room, a figure wearing armor suddenly stood up, with dark eyes and deep and uncontrollable excitement.
"action!"
As the fireworks signal came from outside the city, the originally silent late-night streets suddenly became lively.
Countless figures gathered from all directions outside the imperial city.
Outside the imperial city, the imperial guards were patrolling. Leng Buding looked ahead and saw several embarrassed figures stumbling towards him.
"Who?!"
The commander of the Imperial Guard who was in charge of patrolling at the door immediately drew his sword and blocked the intruder.
"Who dares to make a noise in the heart of the imperial city late at night!"
"Something big happened, something big happened!"
A figure wearing armor and covered in blood staggered up to the commander of the Forbidden Army: "Enemy attack, there is an enemy attack!"
"The south gate was lost and soldiers entered the city..."
"What?!"
When the commander of the imperial army heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
South gate lost?
Troops entering the city?
This, how is this possible? !
This is an important place in the capital, how could there be soldiers and horses showing up?
Unless... someone is plotting rebellion? !
But just as this idea emerged, the commander of the Imperial Army suddenly felt a murderous intention coming, and his hair stood on end!
He was instantly alert.
But it’s too late!
"Pfft!"
A dagger stabbed into his heart.
The commander of the forbidden army trembled, lowered his head and looked into a pair of sinister eyes: "You..."
"Go to hell!"
The commander of the Imperial Guard's vision turned black and he collapsed suddenly.
"have……"
Before the word "enemy attack" could be said, many of the Imperial Guards present were quietly eliminated by their accomplices! The scene was in chaos, and then, a figure walked out from the Forbidden Army and stepped forward respectfully.
"Your Highness, the Third Prince, your subordinate Sun Wu has removed all obstacles for you, and everything is smooth!"
Behind the crowd, the Third Prince, wearing black armor, rode out slowly.
"Well done!"
The Third Prince showed a happy face: "Look back, I will never treat you unfairly!"
Sun Wu immediately waved his hand: "Open the palace gate!"
With his order, the palace gate opened.
Sun Wu fell to his knees with a plop and said respectfully: "Your Highness, your subordinate Sun Wu, welcomes your Highness to the palace!"
As soon as these words came out, the Third Prince looked extremely excited.
Your Highness?
He is about to succeed!
He has been working hard for so many years, isn't it for today? !
It's almost there... just one step away!
"All soldiers, follow me into the palace!"
With the Third Prince's order, hundreds of elite soldiers gathered behind him, like a stream of fish, poured into the imperial city.
For this plan, the Third Prince made full preparations!
Whether it is the city defense of the capital or the imperial guards, he has no idea how many forces have infiltrated over the years!
He has been preparing for so long, and finally everything will pay off tonight!
The southern gate has fallen into his control. Once his troops enter the city, they will go straight to the city defense army in the capital, catch everyone off guard, and take over the city defense of the capital.
By then, the big thing will be settled!
And he, the third prince, led 300 elite soldiers and entered the palace with the support of the imperial guards.
Solve the last trouble!
"Divide the troops into two groups, act separately, and fight quickly and decisively!"
At this moment, in the middle of the night, heavy rain fell, and the third prince's tone was nervous and excited.
He has waited for so many years, and finally he will succeed tonight!
He does not intend to have any complications!
Everything must be confirmed!
Solve all the troubles before dawn!
This world is his people!
"The rest of you, follow me to the Yangxin Palace!"
Under the night, the third prince led his elite soldiers and headed straight for the Yangxin Palace.
Along the way, kill whoever stands in your way, and kill whoever stands in your way!
No one can stop you!
...
In the inn in the west of the city.
Liu Su, dressed in a red dress, stood under the eaves, quietly looking at the entrance of the yard not far away, silent and silent.
Not far behind her, Ling'er walked forward cautiously, glanced at her own saint, and blinked: "Saint, are you..."
Ling'er was about to ask something, but Liu Su turned her head and looked at her.
Ling'er immediately swallowed back all the words she wanted to say.
"What's the matter?"
Liu Su spoke calmly.
Just now, Liu Su suddenly received a secret reminder from Ling'er.
This means that something important has happened!
So, after Liu Su drove Lin Jiangnian away, she asked Ling'er.
Ling'er then remembered the business, and looked a little worried: "Saint, I just received information not long ago... The leader entered the city!"
"He said he wants to see you later!"
"Leader?"
Liu Su frowned.
The leader wants to see her?
Why did the leader suddenly enter the city so late and ask to see her by name?
Liu Su concentrated, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
Just when she was about to ask something else.
"Liu Su!"
A hoarse and cold voice came.
Liu Su turned her head suddenly.
Under the eaves not far away, a black-robed figure appeared silently, with a bronze mask ferocious and terrifying, appearing under the eaves like this, silently.
This made Liu Su's heart sink suddenly.
Leader, it seems that his martial arts have improved again...
"Leader!"
Liu Su lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what important things the leader wants to tell me!"
The figure covered by the black robe, no emotion could be heard in his tone.
"Go and help me kill someone!"
Liu Su's expression remained unchanged: "Who does the leader want to kill?!"
"The Third Prince of the Daning Dynasty!"
"Li Yuan!"
"..."
