Hearing these words, Hong Xi's cheeks twitched more and more violently, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Hong Zhou, what exactly do you want to say?"
Hong Zhou sighed again and said: "Brother, stop it, it's still too late to stop now."
"You..." Hong Xi squinted his eyes and said, "Who have you seen today?" Before Hong Zhou could speak, he said again: "No, you have been in the palace all day today and have never gone out. Is it possible... ..." He hesitated for a moment and then said a cold words, "Are you a spy sent by Hongli? You didn't fall out with him at all?!"
Hong Zhou did not deny it, nodded and said: "Yes, the disputes between me and the emperor were deliberately staged for you to draw you into the situation. The emperor has already seen your rebellious intentions."
Hearing this, Hong Xi's face was ashen and he shouted: "You are such a despicable villain. I trusted you so much in vain, and you dared to betray me!"
Hong Zhou shook his head and said: "I have never been loyal to my eldest brother, so how can I say betrayal? Today, I also think of brotherly love and give my final advice to my eldest brother, there is no limit to the sea of suffering, but when you turn around, you will find a safe place."
"Don't call me brother again, I can't bear it!" After saying this, Hong Xi suddenly laughed and said with a cold expression: "Hong Zhou, if you say this now, aren't you afraid of walking out of the palace with your life? Yes, I will save you. These people are far from enough to fight against the entire Qing Dynasty, but they are more than enough to deal with you alone."
Hong Zhou stared at him and said, "So, eldest brother has made up his mind not to look back?"
"What are you looking back on?!" Hong Xi gritted his teeth and said, "The throne originally belonged to our clan. It was Yongzheng who snatched it away. Now I'm just taking back everything I deserve. What's wrong? Instead of thinking about this, you'd better worry Come on yourself. Someone is here!"
As soon as Hong Xi gave the order, someone rushed in and said respectfully: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Hong Xi pointed at Hong Zhou who looked calm and said: "Get him for me!"
The guard was stunned for a moment and didn't understand why his prince wanted to arrest Prince He. The relationship between the two had always been very good. Even if there was any dispute, it wouldn't be so serious. Seeing them standing there without moving, Hong Xi said coldly: "Not yet." Take action quickly?!"
Hearing this urging, the guard did not dare to neglect, walked up to Hong Zhou and whispered: "Your Majesty, I'm offended." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to grab. Hong Zhou took a step back, backed away from their arrest, shook his head and said : "It seems that no matter what I say, you won't listen."
Hongxi snorted and ignored him, and said to the guards: "Go and call the others in too. If you can't catch him, you guys should die to apologize!"
Hearing what Hong Xi said so seriously, how could the guards dare to be negligent? They sent one person outside to call for help. After a while, there were guards standing inside and outside the house with swords in their hands. Looking at that posture, even if Hong Zhou had I can't even think of leaving here with my three heads and six arms.
Hong Zhou's expression remained calm, and he faced Hong Xi's resentful eyes and said: "That call just now was the last time I called you brother. From this moment on, you are the traitor, and I... am the one who captures the traitor. people."
"Apprehend me?" Hong Xi smiled sarcastically: "How can you arrest me if you can't even save your own life? Hong Zhou, I want you to know the fate of the traitor today!"
Hong Zhou didn't speak to him anymore, but just put his fingers under his mouth, and then a sharp whistle sounded and spread far away.
Hong Xi's expression changed and he said coldly: "Did you bring someone here?"
Hong Zhou smiled slightly and said: "If I didn't have a backup plan, how could I dare to say what I just said to you, Prince Li!"
In Hong Xi's ugly face, there were faint sounds of chaotic footsteps outside. After a while, the gatekeeper rushed in and said urgently: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened. Suddenly many people came outside. Let me open the door. If the slaves didn't open it, they started banging on the door."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. Then, the sound of chaotic footsteps became more obvious, accompanied by the sound of shouts and swords clashing. Not long after, a group of sergeants in full uniform appeared. In front of Hong Xi and others, one person took the lead. He knelt down on one knee and said to Hong Zhou: "My subordinate Akuza came late, please forgive me and the prince!"
"Get up." After Akuza stood up, Hong Zhou pointed at Hong Xi and said, "Your Majesty has an order to take advantage of the prince's estrangement and act shamelessly, so he should be immediately arrested and brought to the capital to be tried by the clan. If there is any obstruction, except for Prince Li, everyone else will be killed without mercy!"
"I obey!" After Akuza stood up, he ordered the sergeant behind him to take action. Seeing this situation, the palace guards quickly blocked Hongxi and clashed with their swords. For a moment, everyone was injured, but Hongxi was Taking advantage of this opportunity, he retreated outside. Hong Zhou kept staring at him. Seeing that he was about to leave, he immediately stepped forward to stop him, "Hong Xi, you have no way out. Follow me back to the capital for trial!"
Seeing Hong Zhou blocking the road, Hong Xi smiled instead of getting angry and said: "Hong Zhou, do you think you can control this king with these people?"
Hong Zhou said coldly: "Although you have accumulated some soldiers, they are all a mob, and the number is only a mere tens of thousands. This time the emperor has dispatched 20,000 troops from Xishan Ruijian Camp, and you are no match at all. I advise you to capture them quickly. , so as not to increase unnecessary casualties.”
"Lao Wu, you are indeed very powerful. You have won my trust by singing along with the emperor, but do you really think you know everything about me?" His words made Hong Zhou feel an ominous premonition. Before he could think about it, a sharp sword wind suddenly struck him from the darkness. Although he dodged sideways, his arm still felt cold, followed by a sharp pain. He did not dare to stay longer and quickly took a few steps back. , just when Akuzha saw him being attacked, he quickly got rid of the people fighting him and came to his side, "Your Majesty, how are you?"
"I suffered some minor injuries, it doesn't matter." When he said this, Hong Zhou kept staring at Hong Xi. It was clear that Hong Xi was alone at that time, but he didn't take action. Where did that sword wind... come from?
After taking a closer look, I found that there were several dark shadows around Hong Xi's body, almost blending into the night. It would not have been noticed unless I looked closely.
"Who?" Faced with Hong Zhou's inquiry, Hong Xi did not answer. However, the originally one-sided situation soon changed. The sergeants brought by Akuzha were all inexplicably hit by arrows or injured, but they did not know who caused them. hurt.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Akuza quickly said: "Someone is attacking secretly, be careful!" As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow shot towards his face. Fortunately, Hong Zhou raised his hand to block the arrow and knocked the arrow away. Otherwise, Akuza He would be dead.
Akuza broke into a cold sweat and said: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for saving my life!"
