Han: The witchcraft disaster begins, I fight against Emperor Wu of Han

Chapter 12 The prince rebelled?

The moment the words fell.

Suddenly, Liu Ju, who originally gave people the impression of being "weak and cowardly", suddenly showed a fierce look in his eyes. Behind him, the servants and guests who had originally followed him in being weak, tore off their outer clothes.

What he was wearing inside was actually soft armor!
Weapons and swords were drawn out at the same time, and in a flash, they rushed out shouting.

It was a pity that the wizards and alchemists who followed Jiang Chong were still kneeling and muttering incomprehensible words of thanks to the heaven, such as "the divine turtle emerged from the water" and so on, and they were muttering so devoutly.

However, the next moment, he was hacked to death by the swords and knives that rushed over.

"what!"

Screams rang out.

Jiang Chong also reacted quickly. He looked up suddenly, his feathered robe was stained with the blood of the person next to him, and his eyes showed horror and fear.

"Your Highness, why is this?"

No one answered him.

"Prince, you are disobeying my order!" His voice was sharp, almost crazy.

However, after looking into Liu Ju's hateful eyes, he felt a chill all over his body, with a chill almost rising from his tailbone.

"The prince has rebelled!"

"The prince has rebelled!"

After muttering twice in a row, he quickly stood up and prepared to escape.

"Catch Jiang Chong!"

Liu Jing had been staring at him, and when he saw him running away, he immediately shouted. A family guard had already grabbed him, and Jiang Chong didn't even run two steps before he was hit in the legs by a long stick.

Jiang Chong immediately fell down, holding his legs and howling in pain.

"Kill him for me!"

At this time, Liu Ju was obviously driven crazy, especially after hearing him shout "The prince has rebelled", he subconsciously wanted to go all in.

I also need to vent all the humiliation I have endured in the past few days.

However, Liu Jing had been prepared for this move, and he immediately stood in front of Liu Ju and helped him regain his sanity.

The latter also seemed to react, and gritted his teeth and said, "Leave him alive!"

After confirming that Jiang Chong had been captured, Liu Jing scanned the entire room.

It has to be said that no matter how weak the Prince's Palace is, it is still the one in power who sits in the capital of the Han Dynasty and handles government affairs.

It is easy to catch these people.

However, due to Liu Jing's deliberate indulgence, many of the people brought by Jiang Chong still ran away.

……

at the same time.

In another villa, according to Daohou Han, he also brought people to plunder.

But suddenly, with waves of surprised sounds like "divine turtle emerging from water" coming, he could not help but run towards Jiang Chong's direction.

He remembered clearly why they came this time. If it was really an auspicious sign, considering His Majesty's current fanatical belief in immortality, it would definitely be a great achievement.

however.

As he got closer, a sudden sound immediately frightened him.

"Your Highness, are you going to disobey my order?"

"The prince has rebelled! The prince has rebelled!"

Clang!
After all, he was a brave general who had fought on the battlefield. Han Shuo immediately drew the sword from his waist and prepared to look around.

"kill!"

The "servants" who were originally together on all sides now rushed towards Han like wolves and tigers.

Han Shuo suddenly felt his scalp tingling. There weren't so many servants just now. When did so many people come?

"withdraw!"

Han said that he knew he could not defeat the enemy. The people he brought with him were good at plundering others, but when it came to real fighting, they were far inferior to the palace guards in the Prince's Palace.

Seeing that he was no match for his opponent, he panicked and didn't even care about the people around him. He ran outside with his personal guards.

And the other side.

Huangmen Su Wen and Yushi Zhang Gan were also "raided" at the same time. They fled in such a desperate manner that they even lost their shoes.

The guards of the Prince's Palace chased all the way and did not stop until they reached the palace gate.

In the end, Liu Jing even personally "chase and kill" him, chasing him all the way out of Chang'an City.

Along the way, the palace guards killed many alchemists. The people of Chang'an City had already fled when they heard the noise, and the brave ones hid in the shops on both sides...

It was not until the evening that Liu Jing saw them escape from Chang'an City with his own eyes, and then he gave up.

However, the noise during this period obviously made the people in Chang'an city silent, as if they were afraid of a major change.

"Inform the whole city that Jiang Chong, Su Wen, Han Shuo, Zhang Gan and other villains have used witchcraft to frame our Crown Prince's palace and maliciously tampered with your Majesty's will in an attempt to shake the foundation of the country. This is treason!"

"As a descendant of the royal family, I, Liu Jing, can no longer tolerate this. I have taken the initiative to capture Jiang Chong. The other three and their followers have escaped by chance. Anyone who can provide clues or capture them will be rewarded handsomely!"

After saying this, Liu Jing looked around and spoke in a voice as loud as a bell.

"The witchcraft incident has caused unrest in Chang'an, unsettled the people, and the government affairs have been neglected to this day."

"To keep the people safe, we will go to Chang'an now. If anyone dares to use witchcraft to cause trouble again, you can report it to the Crown Prince's Palace and they will be killed without mercy!"

After saying this, Liu Jing reined in his horse, turned around, and headed back towards the Prince's Palace.

Soon after they left, some brave people came out and started talking among themselves.

"What happened? Just this morning, there was news about the arrest of the alchemist, and now even Jiang Chong and his gang are being hunted down? They were sent by His Majesty, holding the imperial edict."

"I just heard that the prince rebelled?"

"Really? But the scale doesn't seem like it."

"I heard from the grandson of the emperor just now that he did it because he could no longer bear it. But even so, the prince agreed."

"Do you think it has something to do with the rumor that was circulating today? I was just on the street and heard those people who were running away saying that God was blessing the man and that auspicious signs were coming..."

"Ah? The rumors this morning are true!"

The crowd was talking one after another. Perhaps it was because of what Liu Jing had just shouted that panic did not spread. Instead, there were more and more curious discussions.

After all, no matter how you look at it now, it’s just a fight in heaven, which cannot spread to the common people.

……

And this moment.

Liu Jing didn't care about the possible reaction his words might cause.

After all, he did it on purpose this time.

From the time Jiang Chong discovered the "auspicious sign" and only said the two words "divine tortoise", to the time he immediately took action and drove the other three people away from Chang'an City, to just now, he did it alone, and his purpose was to control the impact within a controllable range.

After today, Chang'an City will surely be caught in a big turmoil, but it will only be limited to "discussion" rather than real turmoil.

The necessary preparations had been made. What was to come next... What was to be done with him? What was to be done with the Crown Prince's Palace? And what was to be done with Chang'an City and the imperial court?
Only God knows.

after all……

From the beginning to the end, Liu Jing had only one goal.

Meet Liu Che!

……

Ganquan Palace is about a hundred miles northwest of Chang'an City.

Apart from the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an, this was also the palace where Liu Che lived the longest. Every early summer, if he had no important matters, he would bring his team here to escape the heat.

This year it came earlier.

Unlike the restlessness he felt in Chang'an, only when he came to Ganquan Palace could he truly calm down, recuperate his body and stay away from the world.

However, late at night.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

In the bedroom, Liu Che was sleeping with Lady Gouyi. He was awakened by the sudden hurried and flustered sounds. He got up angrily, shook his drowsy head, and asked irritably, "What's the matter?"

Outside the door, Huangmen Chang Rong said in a frightened voice, "Your Majesty, An Daohou Han Shuo, Huangmen Su Wen, and Yushi Zhang Gan all request to see you..."

"Ok?"

Liu Che didn't react at first, but after hearing the three names clearly, he immediately realized something.

He stood up suddenly. "Aren't they investigating witchcraft in Chang'an now? What are they doing back?"

Suddenly, he noticed that someone was missing. "By the way, where's Jiang Chong?"

"Your Majesty...Su Wen was the first person I saw. He ran back overnight."

This time, Chang Rong's voice suddenly became sad.

"Captain Shuiheng, I'm afraid, I'm afraid he has unfortunately passed away..."

Liu Che looked up suddenly, "What?"

The next sentence made Liu Che feel like blood rushing to his head and he almost fainted!

"The Crown Prince... The Crown Prince disobeyed the order and killed the Commandant! Then he started a massacre in Chang'an City."

"Su Wen came to report that the Crown Prince might be planning to usurp the throne!"
