Chapter 2634 Cheng's father and son are indeed the lucky stars of His Royal Highness
How could the few dead soldiers on top of the city stop them?
Although they are highly capable individually, they are better at fighting alone or in small groups.
Facing the elite Zuotun Guards of the Tang Dynasty who were advancing and retreating in formations and giving orders in perfect order, they were like a vicious wolf who happened to encounter a group of brave hunters.
Not only was it difficult to cause serious damage to these heavily armored elite Zuotun guards, but from time to time they would be pricked with holes all over their bodies by the forest of spear formations.
Or maybe he was shot by waves of arrows and fell to the ground like a hibernating hedgehog.
After just one wave of offensive, the city gate changed hands and fell into the control of the elite Zuotun Guards.
At this moment, Palace Supervisor Xiao was lying on the ground dying. There were sounds of fighting, and the sounds of swords and weapons clashing could not be stopped.
And those dead soldiers disguised as palace guards, as well as the palace guards who don't know the truth, are currently fighting with the East Palace Forbidden Army.
Listening to the various sounds coming from his ears, Palace Supervisor Xiao's hand covering the wound on his abdomen became weaker and weaker, and he could only breathe hard, as if he wanted to live a little longer.
At this time, I suddenly heard a tsunami-like sound coming from a very distant distance.
The excited shouts of the East Palace Imperial Guards, as well as the fallen soldiers, made Palace Supervisor Xiao's hearing gradually become distant.
Until he saw Lu Da's head rolling down under his nose, and looked at his expression that was grim and twisted to the point of deformation.
The corners of Palace Supervisor Xiao's lips raised wantonly and feebly, and he lost consciousness, and the whole world fell into darkness.

Governor Zhu suddenly turned over and sat up. Looking at the officer who came to report the news, he felt as if he was struck dumb by a thunder.
"You, are you sure it's from Jiangdu Palace?"
"Your Majesty, I can confirm that there is a fire at Jiangdu Palace, and there is also the sound of fighting."
"The several large camps of Zuo Tunwei are all brightly lit. The villain wanted to get closer, but he was driven away by the Zuo Tunwei's rangers and was not allowed to get closer."
Zhu Cishi held the edge of the couch to support his dizzy head, stared straight ahead, and murmured a curse in a low voice.
"...Oh my God, what kind of bastard is he? I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him!"
"
"Your Majesty..."
"Quick, come quickly, I want to rush over personally to see what is going on."
Governor Zhu stood up, composed himself, and immediately gave instructions loudly.
"Your Majesty, you must not do it. If those arrogant soldiers of Zuotun Guard injure your Majesty..."
"If I don't go, if His Highness the Crown Prince has any shortcomings, I will never forgive him."
"Come here, mobilize all the officers and rush to Jiangdu Palace to rescue His Royal Highness."
No matter what, we must show our attitude. Now we can only pray to the gods and Buddhas in the sky to protect His Highness the Prince in safety.
Governor Zhu knew very well that if an accident really happened in Yangzhou, His Royal Highness, how many heads would fall to the ground in Yangzhou.
Even the head of himself, the governor of Yangzhou, would only become a victim of His Majesty's anger.

Li Chengqian slept peacefully with his wife Su on the boat, and had a good sleep. However, this good sleep only lasted until the sky had just brightened, and he was woken up.
Li Chengqian glanced out the window with some confusion, said a few words of comfort to Crown Princess Su, and then stood up.
When Li Chengqian saw a Zuotunwei general standing in front of him, who was covered in water, he reported the incident in Jiangdu Palace.
There is news that a large number of unidentified people are hiding in Jiangdu Palace and the palace city of Jiangdu Palace, killing people and setting fires wantonly.
Li Chengqian seemed to react after taking a few breaths, and his face suddenly lost all color.
"What happened to Yu Zhan and General Yuchi?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, General Yuchi has cooperated with General Cheng inside and outside to eliminate the thieves in Jiangdu Palace. Now they are searching for the remaining ones in Jiangdu Palace."
"In addition, a group of East Palace officials living in Dongcheng, including Yu Zhanshi, Zhang Shaozhanshi and others, are all safe and sound. However, two officials and more than ten attendants were killed..."
"...It's unreasonable, it's simply unreasonable. If someone is coming, please get ready and drive quickly. I'm going to pass now."
"Your Highness, the Jiangdu Palace has not yet been cleaned up, and General Cheng has ordered the last general to come and report.
I just want to ask His Highness the Crown Prince not to go to Jiangdu Palace now. There is a large army guarding here to ensure His Highness's safety and to avoid any further accidents."
When the general walked away quickly, Li Chengqian heard a strange noise coming from behind him. When he turned his head, he saw the Crown Princess Su sticking out half of her head.
Before the footsteps disappeared, Crown Princess Su rushed over and threw herself into Li Chengqian's arms, unwilling to look up for a long time.
Feeling the damp heat coming from his chest, Li Chengqian felt compassion in his heart and patted his wife's shoulder gently, comforting her in a low voice.
"Okay, madam, it's all over. You see, my father has made arrangements a long time ago. He specially sent General Cheng to protect our family. We will definitely be safe and sound."
"Hmm..." Mrs. Su hummed in a low voice, and raised her head after a while. She looked at her husband with her clear eyes full of moisture, and barely showed a smile.
"What your husband said is absolutely true. The Cheng family father and son are indeed His Highness's lucky stars."
"Yes, last time, my husband was rescued by Brother Chu Bi, and this time, he was rescued by General Cheng."
Li Chengqian took a deep breath and looked out the door with a solemn expression.
"I want to see how the palace eunuch Xiao and the governor Zhu of Yangzhou can give me an explanation."

On that day, General Cheng guarded Jiangdu Palace until noon, then he rode to Yangzhou Pier.
Subsequently, a large number of Yangzhou officials were arrested by General Cheng and imprisoned in Yangzhou City.
Later, the Zuotun Guards divided an army and took over the defense of Yangzhou City. Until dusk, people inside and outside Yangzhou City were in panic.
However, all of this has nothing to do with General Cheng and Wu. Now, he and several important ministers of the East Palace gathered in front of His Highness the Crown Prince to discuss in a low voice.
"Your Highness, we have captured a total of twenty-seven thieves, thirteen of whom are seriously injured, but now, Zuotunwei military doctors are treating them."
"Furthermore, Palace Supervisor Xiao was also seriously injured and is being treated. He is currently unable to be interrogated..."
"I have sent people to seize the palace of Xiao Palace Supervisor, and then I discovered that seventeen people in the palace of Xiao Palace Supervisor, young and old, have been poisoned and hidden in the cellar of Xiao Palace."
"Thank you for your hard work, Taibao Cheng. If Taibao Cheng hadn't known about the enemy beforehand and secretly planned the arrangements, I'm afraid I would be alone, and you and your family would not be able to escape this disaster..."
Zhang Xuansu pulled a black face and could only reluctantly nod his head to show his approval.
