Chapter 2704 In case those chaotic troops invaded the palace, a fire set the palace on fire
"Kill the national thief! Qingjun side! Kill!" At the moment when the general who was guarding the gate was hit by an arrow, the general headed by Jin Wuwei roared wildly.
The dozens of knights around them suddenly accelerated and rushed directly towards the palace gate. The imperial guards at the palace gate were not salty fish either.
After reacting immediately, arrows from the tower fell like rain, and the alarm bells were sounded frantically.
The dozens of elite Jinwu guards rushed into the palace gate without fear of death, and got entangled with the soldiers who were guarding the gate.
Soon, from a distance, hundreds more Jinwu Guards rushed towards this side, making loud noises and killing towards the palace gate.
Cheng Sanlang's eyes widened in an exaggerated expression, and there was still a hint of the squinting martial arts saint Guan Yu, making him look exactly like the big-eyed version of Guan Yunchang.
"Ah, this...what the hell is this?"
"Third Young Master, could it be that General Zhao secretly contacted the righteous soldiers from Jinwu Guard and started a major counterattack?"
"Bullshit, why don't you call me for counterattack?"
Cheng Chubi waved his hand and looked at the entrance of the palace where the roar of murder was loud, and the people of Luoyang who were fleeing in all directions, clutching their heads and jumping like rats.
"Third Young Master, should we take advantage of the chaos and blow up the bridge first?"
"...The situation is unclear and now is not the time to blow up the bridge."
As soon as Cheng Chubi finished speaking, he saw a ship approaching rapidly in Luoshui River. Li Ke, His Highness the King of Wu, stood on the bow of the ship and waved repeatedly.
After a while, Li Ke jumped onto the shore and looked towards the square with a shocked face.
"Hey, be good, what are you doing?"
"If you want to know what you are doing, you have to ask Zhang Liang, the Duke of Yun State, or your cheap uncle Changsun Wuji to find out."
"But, brother, I estimate that in all likelihood, it's because their gang of rebellious ministers and traitors are not evenly divided, and they are starting to get involved."
"Uneven distribution of the internal organs?" Li Ke's face suddenly darkened. God, the internal organs are unevenly distributed. It's not like a bandit was robbing him, but he still talked about this...
At this moment, more and more prison guards appeared on the top of the city. They were desperately attacking the Jinwu guards below with arrows, rocks, wood, etc. from above.
Naturally, the Jinwu Guards below would not just stand around and be punished. There were one or two thousand Jinwu Guards coming from all directions, and they were already in formation.
Shoot waves of arrows at the palace wall to provide long-range support for Pao Ze who is participating in the battle to seize the door.
Li Ke was quite nervous. This scene was too exciting, wasn't it? This was in the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, in front of the palace, and there was actually a fight going on.
"Brother Chu Bi, what should we do now?"
"...If you ask me, who can I ask? But brother, don't be too nervous, everything has two sides, just like right now, there is such a fierce fight here."
"Wouldn't it mean that today's enthronement ceremony may not be able to go ahead."
"...But what if those rebels invade the palace and set it on fire?"
"Ah, this... my dear brother, your worries do have some truth to them."
Cheng Sanlang was stunned by Li Ke's words and couldn't help but feel a little pain in his balls.
#####
What should I do? Why did I come here? Isn’t it just to do everything possible to stop those rebellious ministers and traitors so that they can’t successfully carry out the enthronement ceremony?
But now, they have begun to turn themselves in and fight each other. As a positive figure with the emperor's destiny, he can only stand here and watch the other party fight to the death. This is too ridiculous.
Too much?
"In this case, won't the merits of our brothers be watered down by this gang of rebellious officials and traitors?"
"Huh?" Li Ke looked up at Brother Chu Bi with a confused look on his face. It seemed a bit strange when he thought about it carefully.
After all, the rebellious ministers and traitors were involved, making it impossible for the enthronement ceremony to take place. He and others used tricks to prevent the enthronement ceremony from taking place.
These are two concepts. The former concept means that two brothers wearing a pair of pants have no merit.
The latter concept represents their great contribution to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty and prevented a farce of father and son killing each other.
Just as the two brothers stood here with their hearts filled with sorrow and the people around them were running around, a shout suddenly came over.
"Sanlang, Sanlang, how dare you show up here?!" There was a shout that sounded a little angry, and several horses were galloping towards this direction.
Cheng Chubi and Li Ke raised their heads together and saw the old brother Li Dejiao coming to the front with several followers.
"Brother Dejiao, why are you here?" Cheng Chubi couldn't help shouting.
"Brother Chu Bi?" Li Dejiang looked at the man with glaring eyes and a belly-length beard, and it took him a long time to react.
"A few days ago, there were soldiers outside the house. Brother Yu, I was detained in the house and could not leave. It was very boring to stay in the house."
"And early this morning, these soldiers quietly withdrew. As a brother, I just wanted to go out and walk around, but I didn't expect that such a big event would happen in the city."
"And why are you here?"
As soon as Li Dejiang finished speaking, Cheng Sanlang's eyes were attracted by a hunchbacked man with a long beard and belly who was galloping towards him on horseback.
"Why are you here, the second son of the Li family?" Zhao Kun was stunned when he saw Li Dejiao, asked a question and then said to Cheng Sanlang.
"There is chaos outside the city. Zhang Liang has raised the banner of "killing the national traitors and clearing the emperor." The sound of killing outside the city can be said to be loud. Moreover, the Dingding Gate has been occupied by the Jinwu Guards."
"A large number of people are coming here, maybe they want to occupy the palace. What should we do now?"
#####
Cheng Chubi was also stunned on the spot. What the hell, that shameless Zhang Liang completely disrupted his own rhythm. What should I do?
Several people whose minds were in a mess all focused on Cheng Sanlang.
What should we do? The other party is involved, but looking at the current situation, it is clear that Zhang Liang was prepared to cause trouble, while the rebellious officials and traitors of the wealthy family were caught off guard.
Nowadays, the battle situation here at the city gate is tense, and with more and more forbidden troops on the city wall, it is possible that the palace can be defended for the time being.
However, as soon as the Zuo Jinwu Guards' rebellious troops arrive, they will definitely break through the palace and march straight into it. What if the palace is set on fire?
"Rongxin, you, hurry over and send the signal. If there is no one on the bridge, blow up the Zodiac Bridge as soon as possible. Do what you do in a daze, hurry up."
"Ah, this... okay, little one, let's go right here!"
Deng Chengxin looked at Young Master Cheng with a confused look on his face, making sure that he was not joking, and quickly rolled and crawled towards the shore of Luoshui.
"Cheng Sanlang, what are you..."
"Let those Jinwu guards come here again. If the prison guards can't stop them, the Ziwei Palace will suffer."
"Blowing up the bridge so that they can only go around on both sides will delay the prison guards' time. I hope they can retake the palace gate and wait for help."
"Okay, after the explosion, we will board the ship and leave Luoyang immediately."
