Speaking of this, Yuchi Baoqing, a young warrior, couldn't help but murmured with lingering fear.
"Damn it, a certain family thought that boy was just messing around. I didn't expect that if he hadn't been wearing double armor, he would have died here."
Li Chengqian, Ning Zhong, Fang Jun, and Yu Zhining not far away were removing their armor and treating injuries.
Rows of moving subtitles popped up in my mind: It's him, it's him, it's him, our friend Xiao Na...well, Cheng Xiaosan.
After watching Yuchi Baoqing take off his outer armor, sure enough, an inner armor made of fine iron rings was revealed. The defensive power of the Mingguang Heavy Armor was already amazing.
There is also such inner armor inside, so long as Yuchi Baoqing is not attacked, he will have no protection.
Not to mention twenty or thirty arrows, if there are twenty or thirty more arrows, it will probably be just like that.
Li Chengqian subconsciously raised his hand and touched the bamboo whistle still hanging on his chest, and his eyes fell on Fang Jun.
"Fang Qing, you appear here, could it be that..."
Fang Jun couldn't help but recall how excited Chu Bi was when Brother Chu Bi was gesticulating in front of him yesterday, with saliva flying everywhere.
To this day, he still seems to feel the spittle constantly hitting him. After subconsciously wiping his face, Fang Jun nodded solemnly.
"Your Highness, yesterday, Cheng Sanlang came to see me and suggested that I go to this area to train the soldiers. He said that it was to prepare for any eventuality. If there is a police force, it would be better to come to the rescue in time."
Li Chengqian nodded solemnly and glanced at the energetic Xunjun soldier.
Yu Zhining, who had rarely worn iron armor for once in his life, was now letting the soldiers of the Xunren help him remove his armor.
On this fork in the road, the rags and grass clippings ignited by the explosion are still emitting a small amount of green smoke.
Less than a stick of incense, he and Yu Zhining were chatting happily among the crowd. A quarter of an hour later.
Almost half of the people died here, and the corpses of nearly a hundred assassins also lay here. Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh with a sigh on his face.
"If it weren't for you, I'd be afraid..."
Hearing these words, the hearts of all the people warmed up, and they all bowed to the Crown Prince and said they were afraid. However, an idea popped up in everyone's mind.
If this sentence were changed to, if it wasn't Cheng Sanlang, then Fang Jun and everyone in the prince's team might have been separated by yin and yang at this moment.

"I don't know how Cheng Sanlang is doing at the moment..." Li Chengqian couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of the East Palace.
At this time, Yu Zhining, who had already taken off his heavy armor and looked pale, was carried over by two medical soldiers on a simple stretcher.
"Yu Qing, what are you doing?" Li Chengqian hurried forward to greet him and asked with concern.
"Your Highness, the most important thing now is to ask Your Highness to return to the East Palace immediately, and then send an envoy to the north to report to Chen Guogong and Ma Shilang."
"His Royal Highness was attacked and seriously injured. He has returned to the palace. Please ask Chen Guogong and Ma Shilang to come to the East Palace as soon as possible."
After hearing what Yu Zhining said, Ning Zhong, who was standing behind Li Chengqian and trying to tie up his loose hair, couldn't help but say.
"Yu Zhan, why don't you just go and arrest him?"
Yu Zhining coughed twice and felt the burning pain in his chest. He could only control his temper and explain patiently.
"What are you arresting? Eunuch Ning, please don't forget that Chen Guogong is the auxiliary minister appointed by His Majesty. He has the power to mobilize the troops of Chang'an."
"If he is in the army and enters the military camp without authorization to arrest the auxiliary minister appointed by His Majesty, do you have His Majesty's holy order?"
"Therefore, we must not let Mr. Chen Guogong know that the matter has been exposed. When he leaves the military camp and arrives at the East Palace, His Highness will make his own decision."
After hearing these words, Li Chengqian nodded heavily.
"Yu Qing's words are very serious and prudent. By the way, Fang Qing, I also ask you to lead this army and horse to escort Gu Gu back to the East Palace."
"By the way, let's clean up this battlefield first, especially those corpses, and take them all away. Don't let Duke Chen see any flaws."
"I understand." Fang Jun nodded solemnly and began to order people to continue cleaning up.
In one breath, Wang Xiuyi ran all the way to Yichun Palace. Finally, when his eyes were filled with stars, he saw the Xuande Gate not far away.
At this moment, at Xuande Gate, which is the north gate where the prince left, a dozen soldiers of the Imperial Guard of the East Palace were still bragging and spanking leisurely there.
After all, this place is too remote, and the changes in the East Palace were mainly in the south, so they did not affect this place at all.
Wang Xiuyi couldn't help but hesitate, but he relaxed a little until he saw the Forbidden Army General guarding here.
Then he strode forward. When he saw Wang Xiuyi appearing here, Liu Lang, the Imperial Guard guarding Xuande Gate, couldn't help but be startled.
"Brother Lao Wang, why are you here?"
"I last saw General Liu Lang. The east palace was in chaos. Now there is a fight in the south. I don't know how many assassins and thugs broke into the palace."
"Cheng Sanlang is currently protecting His Highness. He ordered Wang to go see the Crown Prince and ask His Highness to come back quickly."
"..." Liu Langjiang was stunned by the words that came out of Wang Xiuyi's mouth.
However, under Wang Xiuyi's urging, Liu Lang immediately had his mount brought over and ordered two soldiers to accompany Wang Xiuyi to find His Highness the Crown Prince.
And when he looked at the dozen or so imperial soldiers left here, he couldn't help but feel a little achy.
An old soldier on the side quickly gave advice to his immediate superior. "General, it is only right that we guard this gate and not let those thieves take Xuande Gate down."
"After all, Wang Xiuyi said that there are countless assassins and thugs inside. I'm afraid that with a small number of us, it will be of no help. If the city gate is lost, it will be a serious crime."
"Forget it, you guys, go up to the city tower immediately, pick up your bows, and keep an eye on me. If there is any movement inside or outside the city gate, shout immediately."
"promise!"

In the cellar, there were three women, a naughty child, and Wu Xiuyi, who was holding the Hengdao at his waist and standing under the steps of the closed secret door.
The noise outside, as well as the exchanges between Cheng Sanlang and the assassins and thugs, were heard clearly by the people in the cellar.
Helan Chushi, the son-in-law of Chen Guogong, has already rebelled. Needless to say, Chen Guogong must also be a rebel.
Crown Princess Su hugged her son Li Xiang tightly. Li Xiang sensibly patted the back of Su's hand with his little hand, and then said quietly but firmly.
"Mom, you don't have to be afraid. Uncle Cheng is here. Uncle Cheng is a great hero who can defeat thousands of armies. Those assassins and thugs will definitely be defeated by him."
"..." Crown Princess Su looked at her son Li Xiang, who was full of confidence and determination, through the dim light coming from the gap in the secret door.
Initially, I was worried about scaring the child, but it turned out that this kid was actually more calm than me.
