Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1283 Catch them all in one fell swoop

Could it be that he wanted to kill Princess Qin?
Thinking of this, Zhao Tiesheng felt a chill all over his body - just now at the city gate, he had realized that he had been deceived by the King of Qi, and opening the Mingde Gate to let Xiao Yuansui into the city was definitely not the emperor's will. Now he was charged with the crimes of disobeying the emperor's order and letting the invaders into the city. If no one proved to him that he had been deceived, and if he did not have enough merit to clear himself of these two charges, after everything was over, not to mention whether he could keep his head, it was even doubtful whether his nine clans could be saved!
So he must make achievements, and great achievements!

Thinking of this, he reached out and took a bow and arrow from an archer beside him, pulled the bow and strung the arrow, aimed at Xiao Yuansui who was riding a horse in front of him, and suddenly released the arrow!

With a whoosh, the arrow turned into a flash of lightning and shot straight forward.

Seeing that Xiao Yuansui was about to be hit by an arrow in the vest, he suddenly raised his right hand while riding his horse at full speed, and swung the sword in his hand against his back, knocking the arrow to the ground with a clang. He didn't even turn his head, but swung the sword again and continued to gallop forward.

"Oops!"

Zhao Tiesheng was shocked, but he didn't dare to neglect it. Anyway, the battle here was a foregone conclusion. He immediately jumped on his horse and pointed at a few people: "You guys, come with me to protect the Princess of Qin!"

Not only the city guards who had followed him to kill him heard his words, but also some women's soldiers. When they looked up, they saw that the Princess of Qin had already ridden her horse to the east, but the Anshang Gate to the east of the Suzaku Gate was also tightly closed. She continued to move forward without stopping, running to the end of the south gate of the palace, turning a corner, and entering the Imperial Horse Road on the east side of the palace.

Xiao Yuansui followed closely behind, turning his horse around and following.

Zhao Tiesheng also took these few people and hurriedly followed the raid. They urged their horses hard and galloped along the city wall. Behind them, the wide Suzaku Avenue was littered with corpses and blood flowed like a river. The last few screams and shouts slowly subsided. As the sun gradually set, it seemed to be stained with the color of the tall palace gate. The dazzling sunlight was gradually stained with blood and sprinkled on everyone, adding a bit of sadness.

The sun is about to set.

No one had expected that after Qin Wang Yuwen Ye left the city early in the morning, Chang'an City, which was originally thought to be peaceful, would fall into such chaos for the whole day; at this moment, the sun shone obliquely on the palace walls, as if the bloody battle that had just taken place on Suzaku Avenue had also continued here, dyeing the towering walls red, and one swift figure after another was reflected on the wall, passing by like lightning, more like an overly absurd shadow play.

This is indeed an unexpected scene.

No one could have imagined that in the city of Chang'an, on the Imperial Horse Road separated by a wall from the Imperial Palace, there would be a scene where the Princess of Qin would be riding a horse in front, followed closely by the General of the Right Thousand Bull Guards, chasing with a sword in hand, and behind them, the city guards and the women's army were following closely. The sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground was like thunder in a dry land, shaking back and forth on the road.

The road under their feet was the Imperial Horse Road on the east side of the Imperial Palace, which was originally used for the cavalry guarding the palace. Therefore, the road was flat and wide. A wall more than one person high was built on the edge of the right side of the market to prevent anyone coming out of the market from colliding with the patrolling cavalry here. Following this Imperial Horse Road all the way north, they gradually approached the north side of the Imperial Palace, which was also the north side of the entire imperial city.

There, there are several palace gates leading to the imperial palace.

Among them, there are...

Realizing this, Shang Ruyi, who had been riding his horse at full speed, suddenly felt his scalp tingling. But now, the more important thing was what was behind him...

She subconsciously wanted to look back, but before she could turn her head, she heard a shout from behind: "Princess, be careful, we are waiting for the guards!"

It was Zhao Tiesheng and her women soldiers who were shouting. Shang Ruyi shouted, "Be careful!"

When they heard her shout, Zhao Tiesheng and others were stunned.

They clearly saw Xiao Yuansui chasing Shang Ruyi out of Zhuque Gate, and were worried that he would hurt the Princess of Qin, so they immediately followed to protect him. Now Xiao Yuansui was right in front of them, and in front of them, so why did the Princess of Qin still tell them to "be careful"?
What do they have to be careful about?
Just as they were feeling extremely surprised, suddenly, another burst of heavy horse hoof sounds came from the quiet and spacious imperial horse road, and it actually came from behind them!

Zhao Tiesheng was shocked and turned around hurriedly, and at this moment, he suddenly heard a sharp whooshing sound.

There was a sharp pain in my back!
"what--!"

Zhao Tiesheng let out a short and heavy cry of pain, but before the cry could even reach Shang Ruyi's ears in front of him, another bolt of lightning shot out from behind, and the cry of pain was cut off in his throat.

A hint of cold light emerged from his throat, and the cold, almost salty taste of raw iron made Zhao Tiesheng shiver all over.

When the people around saw this, they were all shocked - he had been hit by two arrows in the back and the back of the neck!

Especially the arrow that shot him in the back of the neck, which pierced his neck directly. The tip of the arrow came out of his throat, and blood immediately flowed into his mouth. Then, a sharp pain accompanied by a cry of pain spread throughout his body. With a "bang", Zhao Tiesheng fell off the horse's back.

"Brother Zhao!"

The other soldiers shouted, but it was too late. The cavalrymen following closely behind them pounced on him and trampled heavily on his body with their horses' hooves, instantly turning the big man into a pool of bloody mud!

It’s Yuwen Cheng and his men!
At this moment, Shang Ruyi also turned around and saw this scene. She suddenly turned pale and her eyes were bloodshot. In fact, just now under the Suzaku Gate, she saw a group of people on the side of the road who seemed to be spying on her stealthily. Although these people were all hiding in the shadows, the cold light flashing from time to time made her immediately anticipate the hidden danger, so she immediately rode away.

Only now did she see clearly that it was Yuwen Cheng who had been spying on the development of the situation.

The reason why he killed Zhao Tiesheng at once was because before at Mingde Gate, he falsely conveyed the imperial decree to let Zhao Tiesheng open the city gate and let Xiao Yuansui and others into the city. Now the situation in the city was in chaos, and these people had already killed their way to the gate of the imperial palace. Yuwen Cheng naturally wanted to kill them to silence them, so as to prevent the emperor from knowing about his actions of taking advantage of the situation and robbing others!
This person is really vicious!

At the same time that Shang Ruyi turned around to see this scene clearly, the archer behind Yuwen Cheng drew his bow again and stepped forward. He aimed at the soldiers in front of them who were following closely, and shot again -

Then they heard a few sharp whooshing sounds, and the people behind them were shot by arrows and fell to the ground one after another.

Soon, only Xiao Yuansui was left behind Shang Ruyi!

There will be more later
