Chapter 303 Your Majesty failed to come out! 【1 more】
The person who spoke was clearly the eunuch Chen Du who was guarding the emperor. The man in black outside the door was startled, his figure was erratic, and he disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
With a creak, Chen Du pushed open the door, jumped up, and landed on the palace. He looked around from high up, and with a focused gaze, Chen Du couldn't help but leap into the air, and rushed into the distance as fast as lightning.
Even though that figure had already left first, it still could not escape Chen Du's inspection.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Du chased the man in black. However, within a dozen breaths before Chen Du was led away, two more figures rushed out from the darkness, with vigorous movements. He rushed towards Qianqing Palace silently.
Each of these two people was carrying a huge baggage. One of them opened the package directly, and there was a huge bag sewn from sheepskin. A pungent liquid was sprinkled on the gate of Qianqing Palace and between the beams and pillars. while the other person directly carried the package and ran towards the depths of Qianqing Palace with a lit fire in one hand.
Qianqing Palace said it was big or small. When this person entered the Qianqing Palace, the two little eunuchs on duty first noticed the man in black and couldn't help but his expression changed and they subconsciously shouted, but two weapons flew out from the opponent's hand. The hidden weapon sank into the bodies of the two young eunuchs in an instant.
With a leap, the man in black held the two young eunuchs one by one as they fell to the ground.
After disposing of the little eunuch's body, the man in black seemed to be very familiar with the layout of the Qianqing Palace, so he turned directly through the hall and headed towards the emperor's palace.
Seeing that he was only a dozen feet away from the dormitory, the man in black couldn't help showing a bit of excitement in his exposed eyes. But at this moment, a figure quietly appeared at the door of the dormitory.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, what do you intend to do by entering the palace at night?"
The man in black paused, his eyes fell on Shao Yuanjie, his eyes were full of ruthlessness and he said solemnly: "Old Taoist priest, are you going to help the evildoer, why don't you get out of the way!"
Shao Yuanjie sighed slightly, shook the dust in his hand and said: "If you want to harm His Majesty, you must first pass the test of being an expert!"
There was a lot of movement here. In the palace, Zhu Houzhao, who had just fallen asleep not long ago, was awakened by the movement outside. He subconsciously said: "Master Shao, what's the matter?"
Shao Yuanjie said slowly: "Your Majesty, don't panic, he is just a thief. When I capture this little thief, I will apologize to Your Majesty again!"
When the man in black heard Zhu Houzhao's voice coming from the palace, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a bit of surprise: "The Hunjun is indeed sleeping here!"
As he spoke, the man in black threw the firebrand in his hand into the package behind him, and then slammed the package towards Zhu Houzhao's palace.
Look at the strong wind, this package weighing dozens of kilograms can definitely smash through the door and throw it into the palace.
Squinting his eyes, Shao Yuanjie saw the package flying towards him. He couldn't help but frown. A familiar breath came. Shao Yuanjie's expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed: "Gunpowder!"
The man in black rushed towards Shao Yuanjie as soon as he threw the package. At the same time, he laughed loudly and said: "Yes, it is gunpowder. You will definitely die today!"
Shao Yuanjie's figure disappeared in an instant, and the whisk in his hand flew away and hit the package. Almost instantly, there was a roar, and the terrifying fire broke through the dome of the main hall. Countless bricks and tiles fell down, and half of the palace collapsed. .
The terrifying shock wave directly threw the man in black away. Even Shao Yuanjie staggered back a few steps before regaining his balance in embarrassment.
While taking a deep breath, Shao Yuanjie rushed towards the emperor's palace. At this moment, a violent coughing sound came from the palace, and he saw that Zhu Houzhao's figure was covered in debris among the chaos.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Seeing such a situation, even Shao Yuanjie couldn't help being surprised.
"Real person, it's okay for me, I was just hit by the gravel!"
At the same time as there was a roar in the palace, the man in black outside Qianqing Palace took out a fire stick and threw it at the door frame that had been doused with kerosene. Suddenly the fire started raging and spread towards the entire Qianqing Palace.
There was such a loud noise in the palace that even the deaf could hear it. The Imperial Guards patrolling in the distance rushed over almost immediately. Seeing the fire, they instinctively wanted to rush forward to put out the fire, but the man in black was He drew his sword and rushed out, killing three or four unsuspecting Imperial Guards in the blink of an eye.
Dozens of forbidden troops were stunned for a moment, and then they immediately divided into half to surround the man in black, while the other half frantically put out the fire.
The Qianqing Palace is very particular about the materials used. It can be said that most of the structures are made of wood. The most important thing is that dozens of kilograms of kerosene were poured on it. It only took a while for the fire to spread.
"Put out the fire, put out the fire quickly!"
When a captain of the imperial army saw the fire gradually spreading, especially the fire that blocked the entrance to the Qianqing Palace, his expression changed drastically and he shouted: "Quickly put out the fire, and come with me to rescue him!"
The emperor is in the palace, and the fire is raging. If the emperor cannot be rescued at the first time, once the fire engulfs the entire Qianqing Palace, even Daluo Immortal will never be able to rescue the emperor.
The fire here was soaring into the sky, which naturally alerted the other Forbidden Army. As the commander of the Forbidden Army, Hu Yi had been very cautious since the Queen was attacked, and he personally led patrols almost every day.
Not long ago, Hu Yi had inspected the area around Qianqing Palace, and was now near Kunning Palace. Suddenly, he learned that there was a fire in Qianqing Palace and that the emperor was attacked. Hu Yi was naturally shocked.
However, Hu Yi did not mess up his position. He was recognized by Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao and ordered him to take charge of the imperial guard in the deep palace. This shows that Hu Yi is also extraordinary.
If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid they would have been thrown into confusion by this sudden change.
Hu Yi immediately ordered people to protect the queen. The queen mother and others made all arrangements before personally leading people to Qianqing Palace.
When the fire broke out outside, Shao Yuanjie actually heard the noise in the Qianqing Palace, but at this moment Zhu Houzhao was trapped in the ruins after the explosion.
A thick screen was blown away by the explosion and was placed on the bed. While it suppressed half of Zhu Houzhao's body, it also blocked a piece of sawdust and gravel for Zhu Houzhao.
Shao Yuanjie repeatedly used his palm force to blow away the debris blocking the crossbar in front of him, and finally found Zhu Houzhao.
Most of Zhu Houzhao's body was exposed. Although he looked a little embarrassed, his spirit was still high. Shao Yuanjie breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the poor escort has not been good enough to cause your Majesty to suffer such a disaster. The poor This will help His Majesty get out of trouble."
Zhu Houzhao was in a good state of mind and did not look panicked at all. Instead, he comforted Shao Yuanjie and said, "You don't need to blame yourself. Even I didn't expect that the assassin would have such a method. Not only could he sneak into the deep palace, but he would also attack me." You know his whereabouts like the palm of your hand, and even if you were able to bring such a large amount of gunpowder into the palace, it would be impossible for anyone else, not to mention you, to prevent it!"
As he spoke, Shao Yuanjie let out a low shout, and with great force, the thick mahogany screen flew away with his arms.
He took a step forward to help Zhu Houzhao up. Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but grunted when one of his feet fell to the ground. Shao Yuanjie couldn't help but his expression changed. He stretched out his hand to touch, and in a blink of an eye he confirmed Zhu Houzhao's injury and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Based on experienced experience, At most, His Majesty's leg bones were shattered by the shock, and he only needs a little nursing care to be fine!"
Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly and said: "Even gunpowder can't kill me, so a little leg injury is nothing!"
The fire spread, and it was seen that the fire had ignited one third of the Qianqing Palace, and even thick smoke came from the direction of the bedroom.
Shao Yuanjie carried Zhu Houzhao on his back and went straight to the depths of Qianqing Palace.
The gate had been sealed by a raging fire, and even Shao Yuanjie could not guarantee that he could safely lead Zhu Houzhao out of the sea of fire.
Maybe if he were alone, he could rush out by holding his breath due to his cultivation, but with Zhu Houzhao, he wouldn't be so sure.
Therefore, Shao Yuanjie did the opposite. The Qianqing Palace was not small. Even if there was a raging fire in the direction of the gate, with the speed of the fire spreading, it would take at least a cup of tea to ignite the entire Qianqing Palace.
In terms of familiarity with the Qianqing Palace, apart from the eunuchs who were on duty at the Qianqing Palace, few could match Zhu Houzhao's level.
Perhaps Shao Yuanjie was taken by Zhu Houzhao and was no stranger to Qianqing Palace, but if he really wanted to say he was familiar with it, he could not compare with Zhu Houzhao.
Just by looking at Shao Yuanjie's actions, Zhu Houzhao knew Shao Yuanjie's intention. Although Qianqing Palace only had a front door and no back door, Zhu Houzhao said calmly: "Master, go to the southeast corner. If I remember correctly, there is a door there." There is a study room that happens to have an exit to the outside world."
The wolf smoke billowed in, and Zhu Houzhao was coughing violently due to the choking breath, and tears flowed down. Shao Yuanjie, as an innate strong man, was able to hold his breath for a while. Apart from his sight being affected, there was nothing serious. .
After hearing Zhu Houzhao's instructions, Shao Yuanjie closed his eyes and concentrated. In the blink of an eye, the internal layout of Qianqing Palace that he had memorized before appeared in his mind.
As Zhu Houzhao said, there is indeed a study room in the southeast corner. As for whether there is an exit to the outside world, he is not sure, but since Zhu Houzhao said so, it means that you can escape from Qianqing Palace from there.
At this time, Hu Yi, the commander of the imperial army, arrived. Looking at the raging fire, the firelight made Hu Yi's face red, he grabbed a school captain and shouted: "Where is your majesty? Where is your majesty?"
The lieutenant was breathing rapidly and pointed at the Qianqing Palace that was swallowed up by the fire: "There was an explosion in the palace. I haven't seen His Majesty come out yet. I'm afraid..."
