Wuyang Wuyang's soldiers filled the courtyard, with their swords drawn, spears and knives pointed at Su Lu and his party.
Wang Xiaoliu felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy and scolded the nearby guards to protect the prince. He held a knife to the front, his heart tightening with annoyance.
I was careless. I didn't expect that these people would really dare to rebel and even want to kill the prince.
"Huo Guang, if you dare to besiege the prince, this is a major crime that will destroy the nine tribes."
Wang Xiaoliu's voice drowned out the sounds around him, and his tone was high-pitched.
Whether you can survive depends on whether you can scare these old hat soldiers.
Geng Jingming stood next to Huo Guang, drawing his sword:
"Brothers, we have devoured the grain in the warehouse. If we kill the prince, we will die. If we don't kill him, we will die. Let's just kill him. Maybe we can win out a prince or general."
All the warehouse soldiers immediately started making noises, especially the more courageous ones, who even shouted out.
"If the prince, general Xiang Ning has the guts, we can also be princes."
"Kill the prince and become the prince."
There were more and more noisy warehouse soldiers, and the whole place became chaotic. The swords and guns pointed at Su Lu formed a semicircle.
Su Lu clapped his hands and gave instructions:
"Xiao Liu, form a formation, spear formation."
"Six hundred are not afraid of three thousand, let alone a few warehouse soldiers."
The nearby guards quickly drew their spears in their hands and guarded Su Lu in the middle. There were many spears and steel knives flashing cold light.
The imperial guards were a mighty army that had fought hundreds of battles. Although there were only thirty of them, as soon as they formed a formation, their bravery shocked the nearby Cang soldiers, and their murderous aura soaring to the sky made Geng Jingming at the front involuntarily take a step back.
The noise disappeared, and the officials and soldiers of Changpingcang all took a few steps back, looking at the array of guards in shock, with expressions of fear on their faces.
There has been no large-scale war in the vicinity of Yanjing for decades. This group of Zicang soldiers used to live a comfortable life, with their wives and children sleeping on the bed. They had never seen such a bloody scene.
Just now they were carried by the people around them, and they were still a little brave. Now, with murderous intent, all of them have revealed their true colors.
Huo Guang was even more unbearable. He didn't know where he had thrown the knife in his hand. The spirit of shouting and shouting just now was completely gone. Now his head and heart were full of fear, thinking about being stabbed with a big hole in his body by the guard's gun.
appearance.
Su Lu pointed at Huo Guang:
"Listen up, you all. Embezzling grain is a crime that will not lead to death. If you pick up weapons and kill me, your death will not be a problem. When you get to Huangquan Road, your relatives from the nine tribes will come to you to ask for your life."
"When someone yelled at me twice, my brain got hot, and I rushed to kill myself. In the end, I died without saying anything. Think about your wife, children, and children, all of whom will have their necks cleansed and chopped with such a knife because of you."
The warehouse soldiers became even more commotion.
Geng Jingming glanced at the commotion of the Cang soldiers, and his eyes flickered to a few of them.
"How come the prince is here if he is not guilty of the death penalty? We must be guilty of the death penalty."
"Don't listen to his nonsense. It's not easy for him to be there for us when we're beheading."
"Kill him. Killing a prince is enough. Kill these guards and we will make profit."
Several warehouse soldiers moved forward with swords in hand, trying to encourage everyone's momentum.
Su Lu waved his hand.
Wang Xiaoliu raised his sword and lowered it. The head of the warehouse soldier at the front was beheaded, and the nearby warehouse soldiers also lost their weapons.
Geng Jingming jumped up angrily:
"Trash, give it to me."
Immediately, more powerful-looking Cang soldiers emerged from the crowd, holding knives in their hands, and rushed over, aiming directly at Su Lu.
"Puff"
The guards raised their guns without hesitation. Once they raised their guns, half of the soldiers who rushed out fell down.
Blood splattered in all directions.
Several warehouse soldiers standing nearby, including Huo Guang whose legs were shaking, had a lot of blood splattered on their bodies.
The momentum of the Cang soldiers had been suppressed, and the large group of Cang soldiers shrank back.
The guards moved forward, captured Huo Guang neatly, and captured the jumping Geng Mingming.
"Wow"
I don't know who was the first to throw away the knife in his hand, and the blade hit the ground with a clattering sound.
One after another, the soldiers in the warehouse lost their weapons. I don't know who started it, and they knelt on the ground again.
"Swish swish"
Two arrows were shot from the turret.
One of the guards fell down in response, but the other one deflected past Su Lu and shot into the neck of Geng Jingming, who was being held down by two guards.
"There are assassins"
“Be careful with the turrets”
The guards shouted, and several guards protected Su Lu layer by layer. The ones close to Su Lu even raised two pieces of iron armor to cover Su Lu's head.
Wang Xiaoliu raised his arm, and several guards rushed forward, aiming directly at the four corner towers.
After a while, the sounds of fighting could be heard on the turret.
Su Lu bent down, looked at Geng Jingming with an arrow stuck in his neck, and asked with a smile:
"Your professional skills are not good enough. With the team like this, you haven't done a good enough job in instigating rebellion."
Geng Jingming, who had an arrow stuck in his neck, was naturally speechless. On the contrary, Huo Guang and the Cang soldiers next to him had expressions of fear and confusion on their faces. What did the prince say?
The corner tower has been breached, a guard was injured, a skilled craftsman was killed, and another had his arm cut off, and it looked like he would not survive.
Two big boxwood bows were also taken down. They were standard bows and arrows, eliminated by the Guards. According to the weapons, they should have been destroyed. I don’t know what route this group of people took to leave these two big bows.
The important matter has been decided, Su Lu ordered Wang Xiaoliu to mobilize troops, and the Beida camp took over the charge here and sorted out the grain stored in the warehouse.
After some preparations, it was already dark.
The soldiers from the Beida camp took over the granary, and Su Lu also headed towards the city with the support of the guards.
As soon as Su Lu returned to the palace, he was stopped by Chang Ning.
"Your Majesty, something happened quickly."
Chang Ning reported this to Su Lu.
Su Lu's expression changed when he heard this. Could it be that something happened to his daughter?
"What's going on? Is there any information sent back?"
Su Lu asked Chang Ning, his voice trembling.
Changning said hurriedly:
"The specific situation is not known yet, but the Mali fleet, which has never been hostile to us, suddenly blocked several major ports in Mali and destroyed our merchant ships."
Su Lu frowned when he heard this:
"How long ago did it blockade the port and destroy our merchant ships?"
Su Lu's uneasiness became even more serious. The transmission of news by sea was already slow, especially since the Mali people's fleet had the ability to block the port, which made the transmission of news even slower.
With the current speed, I am afraid that several companies have united to take action against Han, so Klein's fleet will take action first, blockading the port and destroying merchant ships.
It may have been a month, or even several months, before the Mali people actually took action.
"Where is your Majesty?"
Su Lu asked in a deep voice, "Don't let anything happen to your daughter."
Chang Ning led the way to the Imperial Study Room.
The imperial study room was brightly lit, with tall tallow candles lining the surrounding walls, illuminating the imperial study room as if it were daytime.
"Move the troops up immediately. If it's too late, I'm afraid we won't be able to mobilize the troops quickly and will have to stay there."
"No, we don't know the situation on the island now, so rashly sending troops there is just a drop in the bucket and will not help."
In the imperial study room, the sounds of quarreling could be heard one after another.
