The attack was so sudden that King Liu Kai had no time to defend himself. Princess Xiao Liu screamed in surprise and saw that the bloody spikes were about to pierce the King's throat.
Zhang Yi had suspected it for a long time. When the king stepped forward, he followed him aside. At this moment, he pulled out his long sword like lightning, and slashed with incomparable accuracy, cutting off Wu Rui's two outstretched arms.
"ah--"
Wu Rui let out a miserable and desperate cry.
At the same time, Xiao Han showed his rapier and stabbed Wu Rui's heart from behind.
King Liu Kai was still squatting on the ground, looking at everything that happened in surprise. Princess Xiao Liu quickly helped him up.
Xiaolong and Liu Zhu also drew their weapons, but they were just a step too late.
The king was almost killed. President Liu Zhu was filled with grief and anger. He knelt down and cried bitterly, willing to die to apologize.
"Get up, save your life, vent this bad breath for me!" King Liu Kai was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he said the truth in one word, "He is not Wu Rui!"
Everyone was palpitating.
"Wu Rui is really insidious and cunning. He sent an assassin and hid a hidden weapon in his mouth," Zhang Yi said angrily, "Father, I will lead the Royal Forest Army to kill this rebel!"
"The real Wu Rui is still in the Prime Minister's Mansion," Xiaolong said. "When we went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, we heard his voice shouting!"
Wu Rui acted in a play. He lied about being sick and asked the assassin to disguise himself as himself. The patient looked haggard, so he hid it from everyone's eyes. The most unexpected thing is that the assassin actually hid the murder weapon in his mouth and pierced it.
That's why so much blood came out of my throat.
Fortunately, Zhang Yi took precautions in advance, and Xiao Han's reaction was extremely fast, allowing King Liu Kai to escape this disaster.
King Liu Kai immediately decided to let Zhang Yi lead a thousand imperial troops to attack the Prime Minister's Mansion and kill Wu Rui and his party members.
Zhang Yi, Xiaolong and Xiao Han took the order and were about to go out when they saw General Wang Zheng running into the Yangxin Hall and reporting loudly.
"Your Majesty, the Chief Assistant, Wu Rui launched a riot! Countless thugs rushed out, killing people and setting fires everywhere in the city!"
Everyone's hearts trembled.
Zhang Yi thought that everyone underestimated Wu Rui. It turned out that he had long made up his mind to rebel and was fully prepared. He raised dead soldiers, hid evil elements, and mobilized family power. The number of people would never be small.
The situation is extremely serious. There are only 3,000 Imperial Guards and 1,000 policemen in Chang'an City. The warriors from Mopan City will arrive as soon as tomorrow.
The rebellion must be suppressed as soon as possible, and this arduous task must be completed before General Liu Guangda's army arrives in Chang'an. Now, Zhang Yi can almost conclude that Wu Rui must have reached a secret agreement with Liu Guang before he dared to rebel!
King Liu Kai wanted to go into battle, but he was dizzy and unsteady. Princess Xiao Liu helped him sit down and Liu Kai announced.
"The matter of countering the rebellion will be under the full command of Zhang Shouxu. You all must obey his orders."
Zhang Yi bowed to accept the order, then turned around to make arrangements.
At this time, Zhang Yi's mind was extremely clear and he spoke.
"Wu Rui is rioting and causing chaos in the city. He is trying to attract us to disperse our troops. We must not be fooled!"
Everyone nodded, this judgment was correct.
"Liu Zhong, the commander on the left, Liu Cheng, the commander on the right, each of you will lead 500 imperial troops to guard the front and rear palace gates. The president, Liu Zhu, will lead a thousand imperial troops to guard the surrounding palace walls. General Wang Zheng will lead the police force to guard the palace walls.
Cooperate with others to kill the thugs. The palace is the focus of the enemy's attack and must be defended at all costs!"
Liu Zhu, Liu Zhong, Liu Cheng and Wang Zheng took orders.
"Xiaolong and Xiao Han will follow me to the Prime Minister's Mansion. We will lead a thousand imperial troops to destroy the enemy's command center, disrupt their deployment, and notify the people of Chang'an to rise up and fight to eliminate the rebels!"
Xiaolong and Xiao Han took the order.
"Brother Yi, I will go into battle with you to kill the enemy!" Princess Xiaoliu said eagerly.
"No, you stay by your father's side and wait for me to return victorious." Zhang Yi said to her, then he clasped his fists and saluted his father, then turned and left resolutely.
King Liu Kai looked at Zhang Yi's back, nodded vigorously, and praised.
"The adopted son will be able to remain calm in the face of major events, and he will surely be able to attack and win every battle."
Princess Xiaoliu was happy at her father's evaluation, but her heart was full of anxiety. Her sworn brother only had a thousand troops, but he faced countless thugs like wolves and tigers. He could only pray that he could successfully put down the rebellion!
…
Zhang Yi stepped on Jueying, holding a Panlong stick. Xiaolong and Xiao Han put on armor and each held a long sword. A thousand imperial guards also mounted war horses. The soldiers wore iron armor and carried two long and short horizontal knives on their waists and carried them on their shoulders.
Longbow, armed with spear, armed to the extreme.
The palace door opened, and the majestic troops rushed out with a murderous air. A group of thugs wearing colorful clothes and waving various weapons rushed towards them.
"Kill!" Zhang Yi roared like thunder.
Each of the Imperial Guards is the most powerful warrior in the northwest. They have experienced hundreds of battles and are exceptionally brave and strong. At this moment, they are full of anger, roaring and roaring, and are killing the thugs mercilessly.
With long-range shots and short-range stabs, the thugs were either shot into hedgehogs, or picked up by spears and thrown away. In front of this elite cavalry, the enemies were just a bunch of weak flesh and blood.
Zhang Yi took the lead, sweeping the panlong stick, and the thugs were beaten away one after another.
Xiaolong and Xiao Han were by his side, and when he struck with his long sword, he was bound to gain something, and his bravery did not lose a trace of elegance.
General Wang Zhengda led the police force to surround the palace and kill the thugs. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help laughing. He knew the bravery of the Zhang Yi brothers. And now he is also one of the Zhang Yi brothers, known as the Six Tigers of China.
The number has already been spread, how can we fall behind?
He has a long sword in one hand and an iron spear in the other, and he is extremely brave when he rushes on horseback to kill.
This group of thugs was wiped out in the blink of an eye, leaving corpses everywhere.
Zhang Yi led a thousand imperial troops to kill the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He saw that the city of Chang'an was on fire, and thugs were killing people and setting fires everywhere. There were wailings and cries, and it turned into a hell on earth.
It's so sad that this guy Wu Rui blatantly started a war for his own selfish interests, treated the common people like nothing, killed innocent people wantonly, and created an atmosphere of terror.
"Wu Rui rebelled and deserved death. My king has ordered us to take up arms and fight the traitors to the bitter end!" Zhang Yi shouted to the fleeing people.
The incident happened suddenly, and the people didn't know what happened. As Zhang Yi and the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army shouted, the news quickly spread throughout the city. Everyone knew about it, and they all cursed, damn Wu Rui!
In order to protect their wives, children and children, the young and middle-aged men began to fight back, using sticks, kitchen knives and stolen weapons to fight against the thugs.
Major families also responded one after another and organized resistance, and Chang'an City fell into chaos.
Zhang Yi led his cavalry to fight a bloody path and arrived outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At a glance, there were tens of thousands of thugs gathered here. They were a little panicked when they saw the arrival of the imperial guards, but they stabilized themselves amidst the shouts of the leaders, big and small, and formed a dense formation, ready to fight to the end.
"There are only a few thousand of them, so kill one and lose one!"
"One head is worth ten taels of gold, and Zhang Yi's head is worth ten thousand taels of gold!"
"The Wu family has a hundred thousand troops and no one in Chang'an can defeat it. The palace is about to be captured!"
