The men and horses specially transferred by the confidant eunuchs were the elites under the old emperor's command. They only listened to the old emperor's orders, and only the old emperor's confidant eunuchs could command and move them.
Qin Jiyan knew very well that it was useless to use his status to suppress these people, so he had to continue looking for foreign aid: "Go, inform the generals guarding the city and bring troops over."
"Yes." The guards quickly retreated and passed through the melee. The people around Jing Yan wanted to shoot him, but they were blocked by layers of obstacles and could only watch the other person leave.
"We must leave before their reinforcements arrive." Jing Yan ordered with a gentle expression, without any hint of panic in his expression.
At this time, they were about the same number of people, but the people around Jing Yan were superior in terms of strength. In addition, in order to trap Jing Yan, Qin Jiyan equipped the soldiers with long-range attack weapons, and the people brought by the fifth prince
If you fight at close range, you will definitely suffer losses.
Soon, the soldiers guarding the six gates were at a disadvantage and were trapped by the people brought by the fifth prince. Not to mention holding back Jing Yan, it would be good if they could save themselves.
"His Royal Highness, it seems that your preparations for tonight are not sufficient." With victory in sight, Jing Yan no longer had any scruples.
Jing Yan retreated from the battle in front of the cover of his die-hard loyalists, got on his horse with all his strength, and said, "Bring me the bow and arrows!"
Qin Jiyan caused him to expose the last group of forces in the capital, so he shouldn't come back without asking for some benefits.
"Little Master!" The bow and arrow were handed to Jing Yan's hand immediately. Jing Yan drew out three arrows in a row, opened his bow, and pointed it at Qin Jiyan, "His Royal Highness, farewell!"
With a sound of "Boom...", the arrow left the string, bypassed the crowd in front of him in a strange arc, and flew towards Qin Jiyan.
Seeing this, Qin Jiyan did not fight with his opponent, and jumped lightly to avoid the three arrows shot by Jing Yan.
The three arrows flew forward without any obstruction until they hit the door behind Qin Jiyan.
"Duh, duh, duh..." The arrowhead sank completely into the wood, which shows the power of these three arrows.
Jing Yan was not willing to fight. He missed the target and turned around to leave. He saw Qin Jiyan flying towards the door behind him. He pulled out three arrows from the wall and threw them at Jing Yan...
"Little master, be careful!" the loyal servant who came to rescue Jing Yan shouted.
Jing Yan looked back and saw two of the three arrows shooting at his hands and feet, and one shooting at the horse under his crotch.
Qin Jiyan's three arrows were not aimed at his vital points, just to keep him alive.
Jing Yan sneered, showing no appreciation. He ignored the horse running fast under his legs, slapped the horse on its back, and leaped into the air...
"Pfft..." The other two arrows were shot in the air, and one hit the horse in the butt. The galloping horse was in pain. After a few bumps, it jumped wildly in the crowd. Several people were hit by the crazy horse.
Jing Yan avoided Qin Jiyan's three arrows, lightly tapped on the ground to use his strength, and ran towards where the fifth prince was...
"What, what's going on?" The fifth prince had woken up from the joy of suppressing Qin Jiyan.
He found that things were completely different from what he expected!
"Fire the arrow!" Qin Jiyan ordered again when he saw Jing Yan walking out of the encirclement.
The archers on the wall immediately aimed at Jing Yan, and "swish, swish, swish..." the arrows rained down from above. Jing Yan calmly swung his sword to block the arrows in front of him, but he was
The people around him were not so strong, and several people were injured by stray arrows.
The fifth prince saw Jing Yan running towards him and was so frightened, "Someone is coming, someone is coming, someone is coming quickly!"
The fifth prince was surrounded by eight elite soldiers. Upon seeing this, they vaguely felt that something was wrong, but the emperor's orders could not be violated. The confidant eunuchs took the emperor's token and passed on the emperor's verbal instructions. Even if they felt that something was wrong, they could only obey.
"Your Highness, I have humble duty to escort you away first." The elite soldiers did not dare to disobey the "emperor's order", but they would not let the fifth prince be in danger, so they had to choose to send him away.
"Okay, let's leave quickly. These people... all of these people have problems. No one can be spared. They will all be taken back to the palace and handed over to the father." At this time, the fifth prince still did not forget to show his authority, but...
These people are not following the orders of the fifth prince, they are just protecting the fifth prince.
"Your Highness, Fifth Prince, hurry up..." Seeing Jing Yan approaching with murderous intent, the elite soldiers held the hilts of their swords tightly and looked at Jing Yan as if facing a formidable enemy. If Jing Yan dared to take a step forward, they would
The momentum would make Jing Yan's blood splatter on the spot.
"Fifth Highness, there is no need to panic." Jing Yan ignored the murderous intent of the elite soldiers, kept his pace, calmly stepped forward, and said without changing his expression: "I am here to protect you. Your Highness the Emperor Taisun intends to rebel. I am here to serve the Emperor."
order to monitor him."
"Are you telling the truth?" Jing Yan's tone was so sincere that even though the fifth prince was an elite soldier beside him, he couldn't tell the truth from the lie for a moment.
If His Highness the Emperor Taisun had no problem, why would the Emperor send them to arrest His Highness the Emperor Taisun? And why would His Highness the Emperor Taisun resist?
"Your Highness, there is no need for me to lie to you. Your Highness, the situation is urgent now. I will take you away." Jing Yan waved his sword and blocked the elite soldiers around His Highness.
"Clang..." With a sound, the sword in the elite soldier's hand was cut into two pieces by Jing Yan. The tip of the sword fell to the ground and bounced for a while before falling.
With just one move, the elite soldiers knew that they were no match for Jing Yan, and Jing Yan did not miss the opportunity to attack them. "The eight of you combined are no match for me. Go and help, and I will protect His Highness the Fifth from leaving."
The elite soldiers looked suspicious, and the fifth prince felt uneasy and did not immediately agree. Jing Yan was about to persuade, but he heard Qin Ji say: "Fifth prince, if you don't want to die, stay away from Jing Yan."
At this time, Qin Jiyan was entangled by several people who came to rescue Jing Yan, and was trapped in a fighting circle for a while, unable to get out.
The fifth prince was startled, and instinctively wanted to run away, but Jing Yan was one step faster than him. In a flash, he reached out and grabbed the fifth prince in his hand, "I didn't want to see blood, but now... there is no other way."
Jing Yan raised his hand and saw a flash of sword light, and two of the elite soldiers beside the fifth prince fell down.
"No..." When the others saw this, they wanted to shout to remind their companions not to be deceived, but before they could say anything, the palace guard who stood aside and said nothing suddenly stepped forward and killed the remaining six elite soldiers one by one with a knife.
, did not cause a trace of commotion...
We can't blame the elite soldiers for being stupid. The most taboo thing about close combat is distraction. Once distracted, the end will be a dead end. The elite soldiers caught in the melee have too much time to care about themselves and have no time to care about the things next to them.
Although the elite soldiers heard Qin Jiyan's words, they thought in advance that Qin Jiyan had rebelled first. At this time, they would not believe anything Qin Jiyan said.
As for the differences between Jing Yan and the fifth prince?
Some elite soldiers accidentally saw it, but they didn't know the details. Even if they knew, they couldn't come to the rescue immediately. It was a foregone conclusion that the fifth prince fell into Jing Yan's hands.
"Master, you can go." These four guards were brought by the eunuchs who were close to him, and they were loyal to Jing Yan.
"You, you...what are you going to do?" The fifth prince was grabbed by the back of the collar by Jing Yan, and his neck was strangled so tightly that he couldn't even breathe. Jing Yan finally relaxed, but he didn't make a sound.
Not to remind those in the battle, but to ask Jing Yan about his intentions.
"You are indeed an idiot." Jing Yan glanced at the fifth prince contemptuously and threw him onto the horse's back.
With this shield, he would have no problem leaving the capital safely...
