Hong Zhou didn't say anything. He glanced around and saw a few vague black shadows on the wall. He said coldly: "Hong Xi, do you care for the dead?"
Hong Xi smiled complacently and said: "In this Prince's Mansion, you guys can't do anything to me. On the contrary, all of you will die here, especially you, Hong Zhou. I will definitely skin you and tear you apart." Bones, and then give your bones to Hongli!"
He knew in his heart that although he could avoid today's difficulties, after tonight, he would no longer be Prince Li of the Qing Dynasty, and would be hunted by the court and find it difficult to find a place to live. And all of this was because of worship. Given by Hongli and Hongzhou, how could he not hate it?
"I'm afraid you won't have this chance!" After saying this, Hong Zhou said loudly: "Everyone, be careful. There are dead soldiers hiding in the secret to attack. The three of them will work together, back to back, and pay attention to the surrounding movements and hidden arrows."
Hong Xi said in a dark voice: "It's useless. I have raised these dead soldiers for nearly twenty years, and even paid a lot of money to hire Japanese ninja professors. Their best skill is to hide their whereabouts. Of course, the most important thing is that they There are so many people, hundreds of them, you are destined to die here!"
If what happened next was as Hong Xi said, even if he was careful, people would continue to be injured and fell to the ground. Coupled with the appearance of soldiers in the palace, the situation became more and more critical.
Akuza took advantage of the gap between killing a person and said beside Hong Zhou: "My lord, you go first, and my subordinates and others will take care of you."
Hong Zhou shook his head and said: "It's useless. He hates me to the core. He will definitely chase me. If we don't catch him, none of us will survive."
On the other side, Hong Xi looked at the situation coming towards him and said with a crazy expression: "I am the most orthodox successor to the throne of the Qing Dynasty. If you disrespect me, you will not regret your death."
Just at the moment of chaos, another group of people rushed into the yard. This group of people were wearing sergeant uniforms similar to those of Akuza, but they were holding muskets instead of knives. After entering, The people in the first row shot at the surrounding courtyard walls first. After shooting one round, they immediately moved to the second and third rows. The intensive gunshots continued to echo in everyone's ears.
The sudden change caused everyone who was originally fighting for life and death to stop and stare at this scene. The shooting power of thousands of muskets was extremely shocking and covered almost all the courtyard walls. When the gunshots were fired, , people kept falling from the wall, it was those dead soldiers who shot hidden arrows.
After a round of shooting, although it was dark and difficult to distinguish, you could barely see a lot of corpses piled under the courtyard wall. While everyone was still in a daze, a person stepped forward and saluted Hong Zhou: "Xiaguan Shenji Camp Counselor On the order of the emperor, Agui came to help Prince He capture Prince Li." After Hongli ascended the throne, he divided the Firearms Camp into two, one Firearms Camp and the other Shenji Camp.
Before they appeared, Hong Zhou had already guessed their identities. Hearing these words, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, get up and obey my king's orders." Then, he said to Hong Xi, whose face was livid: " With people from the Shenji Battalion here, even if you have dead soldiers to protect you, you can't even think of leaving here. Hongxi, if you don't want to be accidentally injured, stop resisting and follow me to the capital immediately for trial."
Hong Xi stared at him gloomily, thinking quickly in his mind. Although he had hundreds of dead soldiers, these thousands of muskets were not enough. Once the battle started, if he was hit, his life would be at risk. He was saved, but he was really unwilling to be held hostage like this.
Hong Zhou waited for a long time, but he still didn't speak. He nodded and said, "Well, since you insist on choosing this path, I have nothing to say, Agui!"
"Wait a minute." Hong Xi suddenly said, and then slowly walked towards Hong Zhou. Agui and others were afraid that he would suddenly attack, so they quickly stood in front of him and looked at Hong Xi who was getting closer and closer, "Stop. ,what you up to?"
Hong Xi stopped, raised his hands and said, "Aren't you going to arrest me? Well, I will follow you to the capital for trial and see how Hong Li will deal with me!"
When Hong Zhou heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although with people like Shen Jiying, he would be able to raze Prince Li's Mansion, but he did not want to hurt Hong Xi after all.
Hong Zhou set out overnight, and escorted Hong Xi and the wizard An Tai to Beijing for trial. As for the rest of Prince Li's palace, they were handed over to the people brought by Akuzha to take care of them, waiting for Hong Li's death. As for those who died, because they were good at concealing their whereabouts, they Except for those who were killed by muskets, the rest were nowhere to be seen. When Hong Zhou took stock afterward, he found that there was one missing person named Wang Ze. This man was Hong Xi's military advisor and confidant, and was always by his side. But this time, after searching Prince Li's residence, he was nowhere to be found, so we had no choice but to leave it alone.
Two days later, Hong Zhou arrived in Beijing. After escorting Hong Xi to the Zongren Mansion, he went into the palace to see Hongli. The latter heard that he had escorted Hong Xi to Beijing as scheduled. He was very happy and said: "Okay, Lao Wu, this time we will be the emperor." Thank you for your hard work."
Hong Zhou lowered his head and said, "I don't dare to take credit. If it hadn't been for the emperor's clever calculation and the divine machine battalion sent to support him this time, I might not have been able to complete the mission entrusted by the emperor. I really didn't expect that Hong Xi would secretly do this." We have accumulated so many dead soldiers without even the slightest hint of leakage."
"He has always regarded himself as the legitimate son of the old East Palace. In order to seize the throne, he will do anything. However... you are thanking the wrong person this time. It is not me who is the one with the clever plan."
Hong Zhou said in surprise: "If it's not the emperor, who is that?"
"It's the noble concubine. She reminded me that Hong Xi's ambitions may be secretly preparing troops, but what you can detect may not be all of them. That's why I sent a divine machine to secretly support you in case of emergencies."
A strange light flashed across Hong Zhou's eyes, and he immediately lowered his head and said, "I see, then I really need to thank you dearly."
Hongli smiled and said: "Okay, you have worked hard for so long. Now go back to your home and have a rest. We put on such a drama, but we frightened several of your blessings."
"Yes." Hong Zhou responded, then hesitantly said: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do with Hong Xi and his accomplices?"
Hongli looked cold and said: "I haven't thought about Yunlu and the others yet. As for Hongxi, he made a huge mistake. Not only did he not have any regrets, he not only fought against the soldiers I sent, but also wanted to hurt your life. In this way People..." He gritted his teeth and slowly uttered three words, "It is not a pity to die!"
Hong Zhou cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the crime Hong Xi committed is a minor one even if it is a death penalty, but...he is the Emperor's brother after all. If he were to be killed like this, I'm afraid people in the world would criticize him. It has harmed His Majesty’s reputation, I hope Your Majesty will think twice.”
