Riding the Pheonix Chapter 579: Encircled the Hall
Not long after, several young generals bribed by the second prince came back to resume their duties.
In the name of the capital commander, they carried water and water to comfort the imperial troops on duty.
On a snowy night, looking at the steaming hot water, the guards who were almost freezing could have imagined that these soldiers who were part of the Forbidden Army with them had hidden evil intentions?
As a result, the jubilant guards were knocked down by the medicine as soon as they ate it.
For several important levels, people were immediately changed.
After receiving the news, the second prince breathed a sigh of relief and became more confident.
Now that the palace is in his hands, the matter is half done, as long as he takes over King An...
"Your Highness, without further ado, act quickly." Mr. Hong lowered his voice and winked, "We still have a lot to do, and we must establish the overall situation before dawn."
The second prince nodded heavily.
"Let's go!"
The group of people rushed to Mingguang Hall through the snow as fast as lightning.
The guards in front of the palace saw a group of forbidden troops approaching menacingly. They felt something bad and immediately surrounded them.
"Who is coming? In front of Mingguang Palace, why don't you dismount?!"
No one answered.
Only the second prince pulled down his hood, revealing his face.
The captain of the guard was shocked: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince?"
Isn’t he imprisoned?
The second prince looked at him coldly, Shi Qun took a step forward and shouted: "Your Highness is here in person, and you still don't kneel down!"
The captain of the guard is not an idiot. He immediately understood the situation and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing? Leading troops into the palace. Do you want to rebel? Get out of here quickly!"
As he spoke, he winked at his subordinates.
Someone led troops into the palace and went straight to the Mingguang Palace, but he didn't receive any news. Moreover, the second prince in the palace should be banned from visiting. This can only mean one thing, the person on the other side is not good, and he is afraid that he wants to seize the palace!
Sure enough, the second prince winked, and Shi Qun pulled out his sword without saying a word.
The Forbidden Army behind him immediately cocked their arrows and unsheathed their swords!
The captain of the guard shouted: "Come here! Someone is plotting rebellion, protect His Royal Highness Prince An!"
Footsteps sounded, and all the imperial guards hiding in the darkness came out.
Despite this, there is a huge difference in the number of people on both sides.
The captain of the guard looked bad. What about the Imperial Guard? Where are the Imperial Guards who are a little further away? Could it be said that they are finished, and only the guards in front of the palace are left to fight alone?
"Don't look any further." Shi Qun looked at him with contempt, "The entire palace has been taken over by my people. You won't have reinforcements. Surrender quickly!"
Confirming the news, the captain of the guard felt a chill in his heart.
However, how could a person who could be the captain of the imperial guards and responsible for the front line of the emperor's security be swayed by just a few words?
Whether His Majesty is here or not, their duty is to protect the Mingguang Palace. If the rebels took over the palace today, how could they still have the dignity to survive?
He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Don't be reckless in front of Mingguang Palace! Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"
Shi Qun sneered. He was also a member of the Forbidden Army. He knew that the imperial guards were absolutely loyal and it was impossible to persuade them not to resist. In that case, bulldoze them!
He raised his head and was about to give the order——
The heavy sound of opening the door sounded at this time.
Everyone turned around and saw a chamberlain stepping out of the palace door and looking at them.
"Your Highness has your orders, please step aside!" He said to the captain of the guard.
The captain of the guard was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "Eunuch Liu, what do you mean?"
Eunuch Liu looked over calmly and met his gaze: "His Royal Highness said that the opponent has a large number of people and you are no match. Don't sacrifice your life in vain."
This argument cannot convince the captain of the guard. He shouted: "This is the duty of the general! As long as there is still breath, no one can step into the Mingguang Palace! We are not afraid of death!"
The other guards responded loudly: "Yes! We are not afraid of death!"
Eunuch Liu smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness understands your loyalty. However, His Highness said that you are doing nothing in this way. It is better for him to have a good talk with His Highness the Second Prince."
"This..."
Eunuch Liu has turned his attention to the second prince.
"Second Highness, fighting between relatives is ultimately a human tragedy. Your Highness, please come in and talk about it. How about it?"
This development was beyond the second prince’s expectation.
He couldn't help but look at Mr. Hong.
Mr. Hong also frowned and remained silent.
I thought that I would have to go through a fight before I could enter the Mingguang Hall.
Who expected that King An would show up like this?
To be honest, it would be best if we didn’t start a fight. These imperial guards are all masters. To capture them all would involve considerable losses. They don't have many people, and the more complete their strength is, the better.
Eunuch Liu waited for a while and then spoke again: "Your Highness can bring his personal guards into the palace, but all of these royal guards will stay outside. Are you relieved?"
The second prince looked at him doubtfully: "You mean, he met us alone?"
Eunuch Liu smiled and said: "There is also a slave girl who has closed the door."
The second prince looked at Mr. Hong again.
He thinks this is feasible. The third child is a good-for-nothing. There are no guards around, and he has people with him. Why not just let him be rounded and flattened?
Mr. Hong feels a little strange. His Highness, Prince An, does not seem to be such a person!
But think about it, what traps could this have? The imperial guards are all outside, even if there is a fight, one side will win.
After thinking about it several times, he couldn't think of anything wrong. He nodded slowly.
After the second prince got his idea, he said: "Okay, as a brother~IndoMTL.com~ I naturally have to love and protect him. Whatever he says, I will do it."
Eunuch Liu stood aside and bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, please."
As soon as the second prince glanced at him, Shi Qun immediately called out a team of seven or eight people to protect him.
Mr. Hong naturally followed.
After taking two steps, I felt someone behind me. I turned around and saw that Guo Xu had followed.
"Mr. Guo, you..."
Guo Xu raised his eyelids and said: "Didn't you promise to give me that position? You have to have me present. Otherwise, who knows whether you will be stupid."
Mr. Hong wanted to say no, but the second prince spoke first: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Guo."
Being able to truly conquer Guo Xu, it was too late for him to be happy. Ask him to go in together, and you will know the difference between the two brothers. Following him is definitely better than following the third child!
When Mr. Hong’s words reached the tip of his tongue, he could only roll them away and swallow them again.
So, Shi Qun took the lead, and the second prince walked in the middle. Mr. Hong and Guo Xu followed, surrounded by the team, and entered the Mingguang Hall.
Eunuch Liu then went in and closed the door when all of them were within range.
The second prince saw a small book table placed in front of the royal book case, with a man in a python robe facing them, huddled there.
He laughed in his heart at the fact that the third child couldn't get on the stage, he looked like he was really helpless. His words came out with a bit of arrogance: "I haven't seen you for half a year. You are really promising, third brother. You don't want the guards to die innocently, you are quite like a father!"
Under his gaze, the person behind the desk slowly sat up straight, and his body, which was obviously much stronger than that of King An, turned around, revealing a face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. The cinnabar mole between his eyebrows was bright and distinct.
"The Second Emperor's uncle deserves the award!"
