Fang Dunru's face was ashen as black, and he was already riding a tiger. He thought that if he ordered someone to go to the Privy Council to report to the Imperial Army for support, the other party would be afraid and retreat, but he did not expect that the little princess not only had no intention of retreating, but also ordered
Go and move reinforcements. In this case, the matter may be difficult to end. Although he did not want to escalate the situation, he could not back down and still showed his usual tough attitude.
"Take them down. Don't let any of them go." Fang Dunru shouted in a deep voice.
The government officials hesitated for a while. Although they seemed to be few in number, the guards of the other side's palace were fully armed, wearing armor and carrying sharp swords. Although our own team was large in number, their equipment was average. How could a plain saber with soap clothes fight against a sharp-edged steel armor?
"Archer, archer!" A voice sounded out, but it was Tang Que who had escaped back to his own crowd at some point. He opened his bloody mouth and shouted loudly. This sentence woke up the dreamer, and all the government officials suddenly
I remembered that they also had a dozen archers, who were used as a defensive force to guard against thieves at night. At this time, in such a small space and distance, bows and arrows would be the most powerful means of attack.
More than a dozen archers immediately bent their bows and nocked arrows, occupying the heights of the steps on both sides. One arrow after another was aimed at the little princess and others. Even if the opponent was well-equipped, but there were archers around, they would still suffer heavy losses. Others would suffer heavy losses.
Needless to say, once the fighting started, these women and the four or five unequipped Yang Xiulinhu and policemen nearby would be killed by random arrows.
The faces of everyone in the Lin family changed drastically, and several guards immediately stood in front of the little princess. Lin Hu also blocked the front of Lu Wu. Bai Bing tiptoed to the ground, ready to go. The situation was about to break out.
"What if I die here if I can't save my husband today?" The little princess caressed her swollen belly and said softly: "My child, go with mother to save daddy. Even if our family dies, we will die together."
When she raised her head, the little princess had a determined look on her face and stepped forward.
Fang Dunru shouted: "Princess, please don't think that I don't dare to take action. Lin Jue was just detained for questioning. Why is the princess doing such nonsense? Is there any royal decency? Princess, please think again."
The little princess shouted in a sweet voice: "Let my husband go, and everything will be easy to talk about. Otherwise, either our blood will be spilled here, or I will crush your censor's platform."
Fang Dunru sneered several times and shouted sternly: "Everyone, listen up. If these people dare to take another step forward, they will be punished as rebels and shot to death with random arrows. This is my order. If anything happens, I will take full responsibility."
Responsibility."
The bowstring creaked when drawn, the steel knife flashed in the setting sun, the throat rolled, and the sweat dripped. Although it was only a scene of a confrontation between a hundred people, the psychological tension and depression in the scene were no less than that of thousands of troops.
The confrontation between horses. Because one party is a royal princess and the other is an important minister of the court. They are located in the central government office of the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This fight will inevitably have extremely serious consequences. Even a fool understands the seriousness of this matter.
.
"What a great official power, Lord Fang. I want to see who dares to shoot an arrow at me. You all, listen up. The person standing in front of you is the Princess of the Liang Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
, Your Majesty is my uncle. Anyone who dares to hurt me will be guilty of annihilating the nine tribes. This princess is here today to find my husband Lin Jue. He was privately detained by Fang Dunru for interrogation. Fang Dunru
Ru's move has involved dangerous abuse of power and lawlessness. This matter will be reported clearly to the princess later in front of the emperor. This is his crime and has nothing to do with you. If you help others commit evil, no one can save you.
They all pinched my calf, who dares to take this responsibility?"
Hearing this, the government officials murmured in their hearts. That was the princess. If she was really killed with an arrow, it would be a big trouble. The crime of killing the nine tribes was not an exaggeration at all. They were not clear-headed before.
They were still aiming their arrows at the little princess, and now they all hurriedly moved the arrows away.
Fang Dunru shouted in a deep voice: "Don't listen to her. The prince's crime is the same as that of the common people. I am responsible for everything. No matter who it is, attacking this government office is rebellion, and everyone who rebels can be punished. Even the princess will be punished."
How? I am detaining Lin Jue for questioning because the emperor has given me the full power to investigate the case. I suspect that Lin Jue is an accomplice in the murder of King Liang. These people have no regard for the laws and regulations and openly defy the imperial court. Today I take full responsibility."
When the officials heard this, they thought it made sense, and moved the arrows they had moved back to point at the young princess and others.
"Are you responsible? Can you bear this responsibility? You suspected that my husband was an accessory, so you produced evidence in public. You can't produce evidence at all, which is an act of dereliction of duty and overstep of authority. Even the case of my father's murder of Kang Zizhen was
Manslaughter, you just want to take advantage of the opportunity to achieve your own goals. It is precisely because there is no evidence that you will do such a crazy move. How can I, the princess, allow you to be arrogant. I will report to the emperor what happened today.
If you can't protect yourself, how can you protect these people? It's a joke." The little princess sneered and retorted.
The archers all moved their bows and arrows away again, and the little princess's words moved them again.
Fang Dunru shouted: "Smart and sharp-tongued, I am an important minister of the imperial court and I act in my own way. Although you are the princess, you have no right to interfere in government affairs. What you did today is already an act of rebellion. I have reason to suspect that this
The matter was ordered by the King of Liang to obstruct my handling of the case. How can I allow you and your daughter to despise the court and violate the law? I am not afraid, and the people under me are not threatened by you."
The arrows all spun back again. The group of archers became like weeds as the two took turns lobbying. They no longer knew what to do. The arrows spun around, and they were hesitant in their hearts.
Perhaps because of too much psychological pressure, or perhaps because he had been pulling the bow string for too long, while turning the direction of the bow and arrow, a government official suddenly loosened his finger, and with a buzz, an arrow shot out.
Everyone stayed where they were, and even Fang Dunru opened his eyes in shock. In fact, he just wanted to scare the little princess and the others. He would not really order the arrow to be fired unless it was absolutely necessary. Because with this order, things would be out of control.
.So in fact, up until now, I have been just talking and playing psychological warfare. Who would have expected that one of my subordinates would actually let go.
More than a hundred pairs of eyes stared blankly at the arrow that was shot, watching it pass diagonally over the heads of the crowd, and shot into the crown of the big tree with a crashing sound. Suddenly there was a loud stabbing sound, and it broke.
Branches and leaves fell one after another. A dozen crows standing on the tree were startled, screaming and flying into the air, making endless noises.
"Oh." Almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The arrows that were moving around were not aimed at any target. This arrow shot into the air and did not hurt anyone. It was really lucky. The officer who accidentally shot the bow and arrow had a pale face.
Paper, his whole body was so weak that he almost collapsed to the ground.
But this arrow is actually the same as making the first move.
"They struck first, kill them," one of the guards shouted loudly.
"Kill!" All the guards shouted in unison and rushed forward. The two sides were less than twenty steps away, and they rushed in front of the government officials in the blink of an eye.
"Protect the princess." Bai Bing shouted, her body rose into the air, flew up, and headed straight for Fang Dunru. She had already thought about it, and once she took action, she would be the first to capture Fang Dunru.
, kill him if necessary. It doesn't matter what official he is, or what relationship he has with the young master, but he can't care about it at this moment.
Lin Hu crossed his body and stood in front of the little princess to avoid being hit by the opponent's arrows. Lu Wu also stood in front of the little princess, but was pulled to his side by the little princess. Two guards came over,
Together with Lin Hu, they blocked the two women tightly.
The arrows whizzed, but the government officials were not without brains. With that arrow, they all shot the arrows into the air. They would rather miss the person than hit the opponent. At the same time,
A white shadow arrived first and flew over the heads of the government officials. Bai Bing tapped a government official's hat with his toes, jumped up again, and pounced on Fang Dunru who was standing at the top of the steps.
"Protect Mr. Fang." Someone shouted loudly.
More than a dozen government officials immediately swarmed in front of Fang Dunru, raising their weapons and waving them wildly at Bai Bing. Tang Que pulled Fang Dunru and retreated into the government office. He knew that Bai Bing was so powerful that he couldn't let Fang Dunru go.
Ru was restrained by the white ice just like himself.
Bai Bing was in mid-air, with the swords below him shining brightly. He had no choice but to sink down and fall. He landed among the crowd of government officials. He immediately pulled out his green flute and started to attack. The guards below had also rushed in front of the government officials, and the two sides exchanged swords with each other.
Start fighting.
The little princess was very measured, and she gave her orders when she came, not to hurt people unless absolutely necessary. The guards naturally did not dare to disobey, so they were not ruthless during the fight. Otherwise, with the guards' martial arts skills, there would be casualties in a fight.
People from both sides were fighting each other, and the sound of swords and swords clashing was endless. From time to time, blood spattered, and screams were heard. Some people were injured, some fell to the ground, some cried and shouted, and some ran away. The scene was chaotic.
A ball.
Fang Dunru stood in the middle hall panting, looking at all this with a pale face. He didn't want things to turn out like this, but everything seemed to have become uncontrollable. He was wondering whether he should persist at this moment.
, or should Lin Jue be released immediately to calm all this. But if he does this, he will lose his majesty and admit that he was wrong first. How can he investigate the case after that? He has already announced that Lin Jue is an accessory. This is not
Is this tantamount to admitting that he wrongly accused Lin Jue and admitting that he detained Lin Jue for no reason?
When Fang Dunru was hesitant, Tang Que pulled his sleeve and said, "Master Zhongcheng, let's go quickly, our people can't stop you. Leave through the back door quickly and go get reinforcements."
Fang Dunru saw the woman in white at the door, knocking down seven or eight government officials and rushing towards him, and knew that her target was him. But it was not his character to want him to run away. Fang Dunru had nothing else to do but
He has a strong body. He will never run away at a time like this. Not only is he mean to others, he is also unreasonable to himself. If he accepts the truth, he will not be afraid of losing his head.
"If I don't leave, can they still kill me? I don't believe it, they dare to kill me." Fang Dunru said angrily.
Tang Que stamped his feet and said, "Why bother... Ouch... If you don't leave, my lord, you will have to leave your humble position."
Tang Que ran away because he saw Bai Bing waving the green flute and knocking out the last yamen servant, rushing towards him. He didn't want to be caught by this woman again.
Fang Dunru was happy and undaunted. He stood there with his hands behind his back and shouted to Bai Bing: "Bold, what do you dare to do to me?"
