A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 153 The thief shouts to catch the thief
"Yes!" Nangong Yuan agreed, and immediately retreated to deliver the order.

The emperor sighed again and again, took Mu Wuxia's hand and said, "I didn't expect you to be the only one who came to save me at this critical moment."

"My son heard wolves howling, and wanted to come over to have a look, but found that the imperial guards in the palace were gone." Mu Wuxia frowned and said, "It took me a long time to find Nangong Weiwei, the rescue came too late, and I hope the emperor will forgive me! "

"You have done a great job in saving him." The emperor said, "There is no crime. When the crown prince is captured, I will reward you well!"

"Now is not the time to talk about this." Looking at the dark night outside, Mu Wuxia was very nervous: "If Nangong Weiwei doesn't hurry up, I'm afraid someone will come to harm you again."

The emperor was taken aback, looked at the guards next to him, shook his head and said, "I guess not, there are so many people here..."

Before the words were finished, the sound of iron armor rang out neatly outside Zhilan Palace. The imperial guards were startled, and they drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another, protecting the emperor and Nanwang.Emperor Mingde took a breath, held Nanwang's hand and looked out.

Yun Zhen, the commander of the imperial guards of the Eastern Palace, led the guards to line up at the gate of the Zhilan Palace. When he saw him, he cupped his hands and said, "Come here to escort me!"

Escort?Looking at the unsheathed swords of the guards behind him, the emperor snorted coldly: "Why are you here to protect the East Palace? I'm afraid you want to take advantage of the chaos to usurp the throne?"

Yun Zhen paused, glanced at the number of guards in the palace, and waved to the people behind him to enter without saying a word.

"Stop!" The emperor angrily said, "Don't come in!"

The guards were stunned for a moment, their footsteps just paused, but they didn't stop, they stepped into Zhilan Palace in unison.

His pupils shrank slightly, and Emperor Mingde really understood the meaning of Donggong in an instant. He looked at Yun Zhen and laughed back angrily: "Why didn't the prince come here in person? You dare to force the palace, so why don't you dare to show your face?"

Yun Zhen didn't say anything.

How could the prince show up at such a time?What he wants is not to be tainted by the stigma of killing his father and usurping the throne, so that he can ascend the throne cleanly.If Snow Wolf failed tonight, he would have to surround the emperor to death in this Zhilan Palace, and then blame the other princes afterward.

Success or failure is here.

"Send Your Majesty on his way," he said.

The guards of the Eastern Palace were wearing iron armor and holding sharp swords, pressing down the imperial guards in brocade clothes back again and again.Mu Wuxia drew the guard's sword and stood in front of the emperor, pointing the sword at Yun Zhen, and said indifferently: "The guards of the Eastern Palace are so innocent, they all have fathers and mothers, you have your own private thoughts, but you want them to sacrifice innocently, or even betray you." Infamy through the ages?"

Yun Zhen pursed his lips: "The humble job is just to obey orders."

"That's good." With a swipe of the long sword, Nan Wang smiled: "If this king takes your life, will he save these innocent guards?"

With a jump in his heart, Yun Zhen subconsciously looked at the people around him, and felt relieved again: "My lord was joking, at your age, you should go and play nearby."

There are at least a hundred guards in front of him. Nan Wang is only 16 years old, and his hair is not even grown. It is already very difficult for his little hands to pick up a sword. Do you want to kill him?What a joke!

However, before he had time to laugh, a murderous aura suddenly hit him!Looking up, Nan Wang stepped on the head of the guard in front, flew up, and came straight at him!

His face turned pale, Yun Zhen hurriedly drew his knife to resist, and the collision of the sword made his mouth go numb.

What a lot of strength!
Mu Wuxia's eyes were full of determination, and he drew his sword and stabbed him in the vitals. The guards beside him watched, but none of them took the initiative to help Yun Zhen.

"You..." Yun Zhen was knocked back again and again, looking at the person in front of him in disbelief, forgetting to order the guards for a while, and had to concentrate to avoid his long sword.However, he has iron armor on his body. Although it can protect him a little, it also consumes more energy.Nanwang's figure was nimble, and he turned to attack his neck and head. After only thirty moves in the fight, he was exhausted.

"Don't let them retreat?" The long sword was drawn on the front of his neck, and Mu Wuxia said in a deep voice: "Go any further, and your head will fall to the ground!"

Half-kneeling on the ground, Yun Zhen laughed dumbly: "Xiaozhi came today, and he has no plan to go back alive. Even if you cut off his head, Xizhi must give an order—to send His Majesty on his way!"

The stunned guards came back to their senses and continued walking inside.In a hurry, Mu Wuxia reversed the long sword, knocked Yun Zhen out quickly with the hilt of the sword, and then slashed a bloody path back to the emperor.

The difference in numbers between the two sides was huge. Fortunately, Yun Zhen was unconscious, and the remaining guards were leaderless, and their actions were full of hesitation.The emperor yelled loudly, and they didn't dare to really rush into the main hall for a while.

Mu Wuxia stood guard at the entrance of the hall, and anyone who tried to rush at him would kill him.However, he was still young, and his physical strength gradually failed to keep up.

Fortunately, half an hour later, Shen Zaiya and Nangongyuan came back with rescuers.

"I'm waiting for the rescue to come too late!" Shen Zaiye looked at the situation in Zhilan Palace with an angry look on his face, and waved his hands: "Put all the rebellious officials and thieves to death on the spot, and leave the leader to question the crime!"

Mu Wuxia looked at him in astonishment. She didn't expect him to come at this time, so she subconsciously said, "What do you want to do?"

Shen Zaiye looked at the wound on his body with great pain, with a loyal and patriotic expression on his face, and said solemnly: "I just learned that the prince has the intention of killing the king and usurping the throne, so I came to rescue him!"

Help?Mu Wuxia's eyes were full of disbelief. He was just about to say that you are a thief calling "stop the thief", right?As a result, Emperor Mingde behind him was very happy and said: "Aiqing is finally here, with you here, I feel relieved!"

Mu Wuxia: "..."

Shen Zaiye and Nan Gongyuan brought a total of 3000 people, and quickly quelled the rebellion in the palace.The emperor tidied up his clothes and sat on the throne again. Looking at the kneeling man, he gritted his teeth and said, "The prince's rebellion is an unforgivable crime. You should arrest him immediately and sentence him to death!"

Everyone was taken aback, and Shen Zaiye was also a little surprised: "Your Majesty? Make a decision..."

Didn't he always protect the prince the most, and would forgive any crime lightly?So decisive this time?

Emperor Mingde nodded: "If such a prince stays, it will not benefit the court or me at all. He dares to kill his father, why can't I kill my son? Do it immediately!"

"I obey the decree." Shen Zaiye responded, and just as he was about to step down, the emperor said again: "The King of Nan has made extraordinary achievements today, and his heroism is beyond my expectations. I intend to make him a prince, and the prime minister will also draft an order Bar."

Prince?Shen Zaiya raised his eyebrows, and instantly understood the emperor's thoughts.He was frightened by the crown prince, and he didn't dare to establish a crown prince. In the final analysis, the reason why Mu Wuyin was sentenced so severely was because he threatened the emperor's life.In the eyes of the emperor, nothing is more important than himself.

With a slight smirk, Shen Zaiye still saluted and retreated respectfully.

Mu Wuxia looked at his back with a very complicated expression, and couldn't figure out what was going on tonight for a while.
