Chapter 990: Auxiliary General He Chaoguang
Gu Chengyu hurriedly looked over distractedly, and there were archers all around, and they were already surrounded.
Arrows were fired, and everyone in the field had to swing their swords to resist. These arrows acted as a deterrent, and when the arrows stopped, no one dared to act rashly.
Gu Chengyu only felt that the violent drink just now was very familiar, he looked back, and saw a person walking out, under the background of the torches and palace lights, this person's face was extremely familiar, it was Lu Chen!
Gu Chengyu sighed, what's wrong today? The palace doesn't care about food!
glanced at the Chengqian Palace in the night, the emperor had just died for two hours, and the palace was in chaos.
Thinking of the emperor's dictation, because no one was present, it is estimated that no one can believe it at this time.
If the edict in the brocade box had a statement on who to summon, it would save a lot of trouble, but unfortunately Gu Chengyu still hasn't had a chance to open the brocade box and take a look.
It's just that this person hasn't arrived yet, and this is not the time yet. Besides, Gu Chengyu is still a little selfish, and he hasn't thought about it yet. In his opinion, the prince is kind-hearted, and it is good to keep it.
Qin Min couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that it was Lu Chen. Then I thought that the Marquis Zhan Yuan's mansion was King Gong's foreign family, could it be that the Lu family came on the order of King Gong?
In the past two years, the prince's family and the Yue family have become one of the top dignitaries in Beijing, and the Lu family has begun to go downhill because of its relationship with King Gong.
Could it be that the Lu family can't hold back and wants to help King Gong usurp the throne today? But he didn't find King Gong in the crowd.
King Gong is far away in Jingyuan Mansion, can he really give orders so quickly?
Gu Chengyu was weighing in his heart whether this person was friend or foe now. According to Lu Chen's background, he should not be willing to assist the prince.
The situation in the capital in the past two years has been very unfavorable to the Lu family, and if the crown prince is waiting for him to ascend the throne, it will be time to liquidate.
Even if the prince is benevolent, in the face of people who want to put him to death, will he still be merciful?
"Don't act rashly, you rebellious ministers and thieves, dare to assassinate the prince when the emperor has just died? It's an unforgivable sin. ”
A loud shout, but it didn't come from Lu Chen's mouth.
Lu Chen looked back in astonishment, but saw that the person who came was He Chaoguang, the auxiliary general. His pupils shrank, how could this person be here now?
Gu Chengyu also looked at the person who came, but found that he didn't know this person. It's just that this person is wrapped in armor all over, and looking at this appearance, he should be a general.
I saw that this person brought a lot of soldiers, and he had already surrounded the Chengqian Palace at this time.
Gu Chengyu was focused on fighting just now, but his eyes were not idle, it was impossible not to find out. It seems that when these soldiers surrounded the palace, they did not light torches at all!
Seeing this, Lu Chen and Qin Min's hearts sank, and they had already missed the opportunity today.
When the man in black saw that the situation was not good, he knew that they could no longer please the gathering of many parties today, so they immediately moved.
The men pulled out their iron claws and hooked them to the roof.
The cloaked man beside Gu Chengyu moved even faster, even if he was hit by two swords, it couldn't stop him from escaping towards the roof.
"Oh no, they're going to run!" Gu Chengyu stabbed a sword at the fleeing cloaked man, and this person snorted, obviously injured a lot.
It's just that he didn't even look back, and his feet were dotted, and he disappeared in a few breaths.
"Shoot an arrow upwards!" Lu Chen and He Chaoguang ordered at the same time, intending to kill all the people in black who escaped.
Gu Chengyu was shocked, "No! ”
These damn bureaucrats have a lot of guards underneath, and if arrows fall from above, it is easy to accidentally injure their own people.
But it was too late for him to stop, and a dense stream of arrows shot into the air. The men in black died a lot in an instant, but there were not a few people who were injured by mistake.
Struggling to resist the arrows, Gu Chengyu has been fighting with people for so long, but he is actually exhausted.
With such a dense number of arrows, even if he tried his best, he was shot in the arm by an arrow.
"Lu Chen, you idiot, let them all stop." Qin Min had already been hit by an arrow in his leg, and he shouted hatefully.
Lu Chen was attracted by a figure struggling to resist the arrows in front of him, and then glanced at the man in black who was fleeing.
Although he was unwilling, he still stopped in the end, "Stop!" Stop! ”
"Stop!" The prince hurried out of the inner sanctum, shouted angrily, and shouted to the remaining archers.
When He Chaoguang saw the prince come forward, he hurriedly waved his hand.
In a moment, the remaining men in black took the opportunity to escape without a trace.
Gu Chengyu panted with his sword, what the hell, today is really a big loss. He hadn't been hurt this badly since he came here!
The wound on the arm is shallow, but it hurts! I don't know how many people came today, what are they doing in such a hurry? I can't wait for a moment.
Oops! Gu Chengyu suddenly thought of someone, "What about Zhou Yuancong?" He fled! ”
Everyone was shocked, yes! Zhou Yuan, who rebelled just now, is no longer there at this time, and I am afraid that this person would have fled a long time ago when he was shooting arrows just now.
"Humph! Rest assured, this person will not be able to run. General Ben has stationed 50,000 troops outside the palace gate, can he run? ”
Gu Chengyu set his eyes on this person, an army of 50,000? It should be an army stationed a hundred miles away from the capital, but without the emperor's tiger talisman, can the army leave the garrison place without permission?
He looked at the prince again, could it be that the prince had already pocketed the tiger talisman? It's not impossible!
I didn't expect the prince to be on guard for a long time, and it seems that the prince is not as honest as he seems. This dragon fight, the last dragon chair, I don't know who it will belong to.
Lu Chen sighed, the general trend was gone. He stepped forward and knelt down.
"Your Highness! Because the soldiers who commanded the envoy division were all transferred here by Zhou Yuancong, the lower officials couldn't, so they could only summon the private soldiers in the house, and it was too late! ”
Seeing this, Qin Min secretly scolded Lu Chen for being very cunning. This Lu Chen is here, I don't know what the purpose is, is it really to save the prince? He didn't believe it.
It's just that the situation is stronger than people now, and Lu Chen is like him, so he can only bow down temporarily.
Thinking of his father's advice, he couldn't help but sigh, could he, Qin Clan, still decline like this?
Touching the hard object in his arms, it was a good thing that he didn't send the signal out, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Your Highness is fine, and the lower officials will be relieved." Qin Min endured the pain and sat on the ground, blood still gurgling from the wound on his leg.
As soon as the prince saw Qin Min, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
"The imperial sister has been injured a little and is recuperating in the inner hall, and the palace will let the imperial doctor treat you!" The crown prince called out to the guards and prepared to carry Qin Min into the side hall.
"What? Mother is hurt? What's going on? Qin Min was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I have to recuperate for a while."
Qin Min couldn't wait for someone to help him, so he got up with a grunt and limped towards the hall.
