Chapter 418 Anyone Who Blocks the Road Will Be Killed without Mercy!
While Yan Yun and Concubine De were rejoicing that something happened to the eldest princess, Yan Li and Mu Cang had quietly arrived at the Gyeonggi Guard camp outside the imperial city in the early morning.
They stayed in Yanling for two days, and after getting Yang Yi's reply, they set off. They traveled for two days and entered the Gyeonggi Guard camp in disguise.
The assassins sent out by Yan Yun were all killed without exception. Mu Cang arranged for a few people to change into their clothes and simply disguise themselves before returning to the city to report the news. Even though the news was not completely certain, Yan Yun and De Fei heard that the eldest princess After hearing the news of the assassination, he will definitely be overjoyed.
When people are overly excited and excited, they will inevitably make some mistakes.
When their own strength is not yet foolproof, a little negligence can make all their efforts in vain.
When Yan Li and Mu Cang arrived outside the city, Yang Yi and Qin Shiyuan also summoned the Black Phoenix Army at the eldest princess's residence and announced loudly: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was assassinated outside the imperial city. This general will take you to retrieve her now. Princess, you want to see someone alive, and you want to see a corpse when you die!"
"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead!"
"Welcome the eldest princess back to the city!"
"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead!"
"Welcome the eldest princess back to the city!"
Yang Yi said in a serious tone: "Anyone who blocks the way will be killed!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Anyone who blocks the road will be killed without mercy!"
The Black Phoenix Army is ready to go, fierce and majestic.
Yang Yi, Qin Shiyuan and Chen Qingfeng sat on horseback, with three thousand people pouring out behind them, each carrying a bow and arrow on his back and a sword on his waist.
"Let's go!" Yang Yi gave the order, and the soldiers rushed towards the city gate with great momentum.
General Jingji Guard, who had been bribed by Yan Yun, heard their movements, and his expression suddenly changed: "Stop them! Quick, no one is allowed to step out of the city gate!"
"General, he... they are too fast! They act like they are risking their lives. They will kill anyone who dares to stop..."
"Close the city gate!" A member of the Gyeonggi Guard shouted, "Quickly, inform the city guards that they are not allowed to leave the city. They will never be allowed to leave the city!"
However, how could they stop the Black Phoenix Army when it launched?
Rushing to the city gate like lightning, they saw several city defenders working together to close the gates on both sides. Yang Yi and Chen Qingfeng drew out the arrows on their backs almost at the same time, and drew their bows to shoot at the people who were closing the city gate. Shoot away: "Who dares to close the city gate without getting the will? Are you going to rebel?"
The warning was shouted out, but the action of closing the city gate did not stop at all.
Chen Qingfeng and Yang Yi shot the arrows in their hands at the same time.
The arrow leaves the string - whoosh! Whoosh!
One person on each side was hit by an arrow and fell down.
"What are you doing! Are you rebelling?" A large number of Gyeonggi Guards surged behind them, each holding a sword and facing the Black Phoenix Army. "The private soldiers of the Princess's Mansion are indeed rampant and domineering. Even the Gyeonggi Guards dare to kill them. How can you still think so in your eyes?" Is there any royal law?”
Chen Qingfeng's eyebrows were cold: "We will go out of the city to find the whereabouts of the eldest princess. If anyone blocks the way, we will kill them without mercy!"
A member of the Gyeonggi Guard held a knife and spoke: "The Emperor has a decree——"
"Falsely conveying an imperial edict is a capital offense!" A loud voice suddenly shouted from behind, "The Emperor has an edict, and the Gyeonggi Guards will let you go!"
A man and a horse galloped over, and the person sitting on the horse was the majestic General Xuan.
Gyeonggi Guard Qianhu's expression changed drastically.
"Fan Qianhu has thought about it for himself." General Xuan reined in his horse and stopped, coldly looking down at Fan Qianhu who was blocking the way. "Today, when the Black Phoenix Army heard the news of the assassination of the eldest princess, their mood was extremely unstable. Losing one's mind can cost lives, and the Emperor should also understand their loyalty to protect the Lord! But if your lives are that strong, you have to ask how accurate the bows and arrows in the hands of the Black Phoenix Army are."
These words are obviously very intimidating.
The Gyeonggi guards blocking the road looked at each other, most of them looking to shrink back in fear.
They were all men with families. They didn't know whether the Eighth Prince Qingjun would be successful, and they didn't know if the eldest princess had a chance of survival.
They didn't even know whether the emperor and the empress were rivals of Concubine De.
But what they knew was that the three thousand elites in the Princess's Mansion were well-trained, and all of them were carrying bows and arrows, and they were in a desperate posture to break out of the city gate.
If they tried to stop him, they would be killed on the spot.
Fan Qianhu turned to look at the two people who fell to the ground after being hit by arrows at the city gate, gritted his teeth and said, "Open the city gate!"
Forget it, the news of the assassination of the eldest princess has come. Even if she is found, it is probably a disaster.
As long as the eldest princess dies, who can the emperor's empire be passed on to?
The eighth prince will be the only heir apparent.
The city gate that had not been completely closed was opened bit by bit at the cost of two lives.
Chen Qingfeng, Yang Yi and Qin Shiyuan galloped away almost at the same time, with three thousand elite troops behind them rushing out like a tide like thunder.
However, at this moment, another thunderous sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded outside the imperial city, like thousands of horses galloping towards them, which made people frightened.
The Black Phoenix Army that was originally pouring out quickly split into two.
Nearly half of the people quickly drew their knives and headed towards the city tower like tigers and leopards breaking into the crowd. Wherever they passed, corpses fell one after another. The people who were killed did not even have time to react and died in the blink of an eye.
The other half quickly took control of the city gate, and all those who tried to stop them after realizing something was wrong were killed with one knife.
The people who rushed up to the tower quickly killed the soldiers on the tower, took their positions at lightning speed, and drew arrows aimed at all directions inside and outside the city, east, west, south, and north.
Captain Fan of the Capital Guard was caught off guard by this reversal, his face pale: "What are you doing? What are you going to do? Rebellion? You are plotting treason!"
"Who is plotting treason?" Outside the imperial city, a man rode in slowly, his appearance was cold and cruel, and his eyebrows were full of condescending and intimidating demeanor, "Captain Fan, you are taking advantage of my absence from the imperial city to turn against the Eighth Prince and help the tyrant to commit atrocities, right?"
Captain Fan looked in horror.
I saw Yan Li, who was wearing a neat black robe and a red cloak, sitting upright on the horse's back, stepping into the city gate step by step. The sound of the horse's hooves was like thunder, crushing his courage bit by bit.
The eldest princess had a stunning face, her eyebrows were as cold as a demon, and she was surrounded by a cold and ruthless aura of killing, like the god of death who had just returned from hell, which made people terrified.
Captain Fan was so scared that his legs went weak, "The Princess... The Princess..."
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you!" General Xuan dismounted and knelt on one knee, "Your Highness, the Princess, are welcome back! There are traitors in the palace who have mobilized the capital guards without military orders, and are plotting to rebel and usurp the throne in the name of clearing the court. Please punish the traitors, rectify the government, and save the emperor, the queen, and the civil and military officials from their predicament!"
