I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 187 It’s over!

Just as Liu Hong and the eunuchs began to flee, the Jinshang Gate was knocked open by a battering ram.

Cao Jie had urgently mobilized all the guards in the East Palace and some young eunuchs to resist with swords, but there were only more than 300 of them together, and they were not even armed with armor. They were no match for the well-armed Yuan army, and were completely defeated when Xu Chong, who was like a tiger, charged at them.

In the clash of flesh and steel, it is clear who wins and who loses.

What followed was one-sided killing and the roar of the army.

The resisting palace guards were quickly wiped out, and the braver eunuchs were also killed. Xu Chong wiped the blood off his face, spat, kicked away the corpses blocking the way, and continued to lead the team forward with a roar.

His vanguard troops advanced so quickly that even Yuan Shu was a little surprised that it was so fast, not to mention Duan Xing who was following Yuan Shu.

Duan Yu had been on the battlefield and led troops before, so his familiarity with the battlefield could be said to be the highest among all the people present. Naturally, he knew that this kind of battlefield situation was basically a crushing situation. If he wanted to fight a battle of this level, he would have to set very high standards for himself.

So he was surprised.

"Mr. Yuan, how could these people under your command be so elite and good at fighting? Have they all been on the battlefield?"

"Well, many of them have been on the battlefield and fought against the Qiang people, so they have experience. Those battles to defend the city were quite difficult!"

"You shouldn't be so fierce. You look like a well-trained soldier. Mr. Yuan, you?"

"Yes, Captain Duan is a general."

Yuan Shu raised his lips and said with a smile, "I told you, I have had this idea for a while. Besides, in a place like Maoling, who knows when the Qiang people will come to rob us. It is reasonable for me to arrange for my subordinates to receive training in order to protect myself, right?"

Duan Xing was shocked.

"Maoling? It started from Maoling? Then when we were in Luoyang..."

"The eunuchs are cruel, and I don't know when I will be harmed by them. In order to protect my life, I brought all the guards of Maoling to Luoyang, and then trained a group of warriors in Luoyang to protect me. This is reasonable, right?"

The smile on Yuan Shu's face made Duan Ying unable to tell what kind of smile it was.

What he said was reasonable and did sound plausible, but for some reason, Duan Ying always felt that Yuan Shu still had many secrets that he had not announced to the public.

He gradually began to have some thoughts in his mind, and had a better understanding of the seventeen-year-old boy in front of him, and even felt more fear and awe towards him.

He no longer dared to underestimate the boy, nor did he think that he was just a young man who had not experienced the world.

He realized that the boy's talent and intelligence far exceeded his age and seemed unfathomable.

Xu Chong continued to lead the vanguard army forward, but the young eunuchs and palace guards who came to support them were defeated and could not stop the vanguard army for even a stick of incense. They were often defeated in a single encounter, with blood spilled on the spot and broken limbs flying everywhere. It was a tragic scene like a hellish Shura field.

After rushing through the Chongde Hall, Xu Chong found that there was no one in the hall and realized that the emperor might have escaped.

There can be only one direction.

"Keep chasing! Chase south! The bastards are all over there!"

Xu Chong continued to roar and lead the team forward, with Lian Da following closely behind. Yuan Shu led the main force and continued to charge forward. While charging, he sent troops to occupy and sweep the palace.

He asked the captains of each team to carry out his previous orders.

Occupy the palace, protect its integrity, kill all eunuchs, imprison all palace women, etc., and do not smash, loot, burn, or do anything wrong. Carry out the order to the end, otherwise you will not be let off easily.

Yuan's army followed his orders, sweeping through the palaces, capturing palace maids, and killing eunuchs without mercy, not sparing even a single one.

The screams of the eunuchs and the shrieks of the palace maids echoed throughout the palace. There were flashes of fire and knives everywhere, and the ground was covered with blood and tears.

The eunuchs were still protecting Liu Hong as he escaped. They were thinking of escaping from the East Palace, escaping from the North Palace, and moving to the South Palace. They would go to the South Palace to gather more guards to protect Liu Hong and then make plans later. However, what they did not expect was that the pursuers would come so fast.

Behind them, noise and the sound of chasing footsteps gradually rose, and more and more flames gathered. Cao Ji looked back while running, and suddenly felt something was wrong, so he quickly gave orders.

"Xia Yun! Bi Lan! Hurry up and take your men to stop the pursuers! Don't worry about your lives! His Majesty is the most important!"

When Xia Yun and Bi Lan heard this, they almost fell to the ground. They didn't know why Cao Ji specifically mentioned them.

But they had no way to refuse because Liu Hong also spoke.

"Empress Xia! Empress Bi! Protect me! Protect me!"

Seeing Liu Hong's face twisted with fear, the two men had no choice but to grit their teeth, stomp their feet, turn around with their respective young eunuchs, and kill the pursuing soldiers.

Then, as expected, they were defeated by the five hundred brave warriors who were chasing them.

Xia Yun was unlucky and ran into Xu Chong first.

Xu Chong, who was bloodthirsty, slashed with his knife, directly cutting the knife in Xia Yun's hand. The blade directly hit Xia Yun's neck. He pulled hard again, and half of Xia Yun's neck was cut off. Blood spurted out on the spot, splashing all over Xu Chong's face.

Xia Yun fell to the ground and died before he could even make a sound.

Bi Lan wasn't much better.

Lian Da held him back with his shield, then kicked him to the ground and stabbed him in the chest. Bi Lan opened his eyes wide and tried to struggle, but he vomited blood and died on the spot, unable to move.

The dozens of young eunuchs brought by the two of them wanted to fight back, but the five hundred warriors were fully armored, and their swords could not penetrate the armor at all. They were killed one by one and were soon killed.

Five hundred warriors continued to pursue, and Cao Jie saw that things were not going well, so he had to continue calling out names.

Three more eunuchs were forced to stay behind with their men to stop the pursuers, but they were soon killed and still could not shake off the pursuers.

Seeing that Zhangtai Gate was right in front of them, Cao Jie could only ask everyone except himself to block the pursuers together, while he carried Liu Hong on his back and tried to continue escaping.

It just didn't work.

Xu Chong, who was blood-thirsty, took the lead and had already caught up with the eunuchs. The eunuchs, who seemed ferocious but were actually weak, could not withstand his fight at all. He was like a tiger among a flock of sheep, and he rushed forward with a dozen vanguard warriors holding shields, killing the eunuchs to pieces.

The warriors behind also rushed over closely. After a fierce fight, the eunuchs were almost unable to resist and soon fell into a desperate situation. They were surrounded by these five hundred warriors, and even Cao Jie and Liu Hong were surrounded.

The two sides fought for about half an incense stick of time. Only Cao Jie, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and seven other young eunuchs were left on the eunuch side. All the other eunuchs, big and small, had been killed and were lying on the ground, either dead or broken.

Liu Hong looked at the scene of himself being surrounded in despair and couldn't help crying.

Cao Jie also knew that he could not escape. Faced with this situation, he could only roar in despair.

"Who are you? Why are you so bold? How dare you offend the emperor? Don't you know that the emperor of the Han Dynasty is here? Don't you know that rebellion is a heinous crime that will result in the extermination of three clans?!"

"Bah! The Emperor of Han?"

Hearing this, Xu Chong angrily said, "You bullshit emperor of the Han Dynasty! How dare you, a cowardly and incompetent ruler, call yourself the emperor of the Han Dynasty! Your emperorship ends today! Surrender and you can save your life! Otherwise, I will kill you!"

Five hundred warriors shouted "Kill" along with Xu Chong for more than ten times. The sound was deafening and extremely powerful.

The eunuchs were so frightened that they were shaking all over, and Liu Hong was so frightened that he became incontinent and urinated all over Cao Jie.

Cao Jie just felt warm on his back but he couldn't care less.

This group of people... want to depose the emperor?
Who is so bold?

How dare you depose the emperor?
And they have already caught up to him and surrounded him and the emperor...

Finished!

Finished!

Finished!

If the emperor is not protected, the careers of all the eunuchs will be in jeopardy, and the party members will inevitably launch a frantic counterattack. Not only these eunuchs, but also their local family members, friends, and lackeys, every one of them will not have a good end.

Whatever they do to the party members, the party members will certainly repay them tenfold!
They were finished! All finished!

When Cao Jie thought of this, he was extremely sad and angry.

All the efforts were wiped out in just one night!

Oh my God! Why do you treat me like this?

The pain in Cao Ji's heart felt like it was being bitten by thousands of ants, which made him roar out the words in his heart even though he was surrounded by enemies.

"How dare you! How dare you offend the emperor like this! Who the hell are you?"

He yelled at the top of his lungs, but because he was too grief-stricken and out of control, his roar could not produce any momentum at all, and he just let out a dolphin sound, which sounded funny and ridiculous.

It must be said that if he were to participate in China's Got Talent, he would definitely be a star contestant.

But he didn't.

Yuan Shu felt sorry about this.

He stepped forward directly.

"Cao Changshi, what a pity! You have a very good voice. If you practice, you can become famous as a singer in the future. But you insist on being a Zhong Changshi. What a pity!"

Cao Jie was stunned.

He thought the voice sounded familiar.

There seemed to be such a sound in his memory, but it was still a little vague as to what it was exactly, and he couldn't tell exactly what it was, so he could only look outside as hard as he could, bypassing all the sieges, trying to find out who the owner of that voice was.

Then he saw it.

Yuan Shu did not deliberately conceal his identity. Instead, he slowly moved forward under the protection of the crowd, crossed the encirclement, and stood directly in front of Cao Ji, allowing Cao Ji to clearly see who this young man in armor was under the light of the fire.

"Yuan Shu? You...you are Yuan Shu?"
