Steel Dynasty - Chapter 525

[Chapter 525 Confrontation between father and son]

The war horses raised up smoke and dust.

The sound of the galloping cavalry could even be heard clearly in the city. At this moment, the people of Chang’an City hid in their houses like frightened rabbits. Only a few brave people peeped at the cavalry wearing black armor and running rampant in Chang’an City.

“Barbarians, barbarians.” The sharp-eyed people immediately screamed and fled back when they saw the barbarian cavalry mixed in the team, while some people had a look of death on their faces.

Having lived in the city of Chang’an for a long time, they have always been extremely sensitive to intrigues and wars. This time, King Zhao led the black armored cavalry and barbarians in a menacing manner. They basically saw what was going to happen.

Combined with the rumors in the market during this period, this made them more and more confirmed.

The news that King Zhao’s troops had entered the city reached Luo Quan and Fiji immediately. After Li Sanzai learned the news, he immediately sent someone to inform them.

“General Luo Quan, Fei Zhongshu, Commander Li asked you to lead the soldiers to the Royal Garden. Now King Zhao’s soldiers and horses are outflanking from both sides. The only way to escape is from the direction of the Royal Garden.”

“After all, it is the one who is coming .

Here we come.” Luo Quan and Fiji looked at each other and sighed deeply. He asked the secret guard, “How are the emperor and the empress?”

“The empress has been sent to the royal garden, and the emperor refuses to leave.” said.

Luo Quan was shocked when he heard this: “Why!” Fiji also showed a surprised look.

“The emperor said that his body can no longer hold on. Even if he escapes, he will not be able to reach Qingzhou alive. On the contrary, it will hinder the rescue plan carefully prepared by King Qi.” The secret guard said.

“Hey, the emperor’s temper has not changed at all. He refused to retreat in the face of the barbarian army for Empress Zhao, but now it is for Concubine Zhen.” Fiji sighed.

Luo Quan nodded, “I’m afraid that Queen Zhao has disappointed the emperor too much. Now that the prince has done such an unscrupulous thing, it has something to do with Queen Zhao’s favor.”

After that, Luo Quan said to Luo Hong: ” You should immediately take Fei Zhongshu and a group of officials and their families to the direction of the royal garden. There is a path in the garden. Follow the path to Chang’an Pier. You can only escape by walking along the waterway.”

“Father. , you and Fei Zhongshu go away, let me break up the relationship.” Luo Hong’s eyes were firm.

Luo Quan shook his head and said: “No, the world in the future will be a world of firearms. Now you already know how to command firearms troops, which is very useful to King Qi, but I can’t keep up with today’s battlefield at all. The situation has changed.”

When the two were arguing with each other, the third prince and the fourth prince said: “At this time, you are still pushing us back and forth. If you don’t leave, no one will be able to leave. You will be lucky if we leave. “

After that, the third prince and the fourth prince headed towards the royal garden with thousands of soldiers and horses.

Luo Hong wanted to say more, but Luo Quan suddenly said angrily: “Stop talking, this is a military order. How can there be so many loving children when the country of Chongqing is in danger! Someone must stop King Zhao’s troops here.”

Fiji Sighing, he said to Luo Hong: “Your father is right. Now you have to protect others and reach Qingzhou safely.”

Luo Hong gritted his teeth and nodded, with a trace of tears in his eyes, and then he led a thousand The remaining musketeers withdrew towards the royal gardens.

Watching Luo Hong and everyone in Fiji leave, Luo Quan looked at the imperial city again and shouted to the artillerymen beside him: “Fire the artillery.”

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Amidst the rumbling cannons, the gate of the palace opened Finally shattered.

Luo Quan raised the long knife in his hand and shouted loudly: “The prince is plotting regicide, kill him!”

The remaining soldiers were in a panic, but after seeing Luo Hong’s figure, they calmed down again. Military God Luo Quan is still there, so they have nothing to fear.

Taking the lead, Luo Hong rushed into the palace first. At this time, he remembered the time when he and Xiao Wenxuan were fighting for the world. He understood that Xiao Wenxuan had gradually become wary of him over the years, but he still felt grateful for Xiao Wenxuan’s kindness in knowing him.

Without Xiao Wenxuan, there would be no Luo Quan. He refused to leave, just as he refused to abandon his coach and leave.

He refused to leave because he, Luo Quan, would not abandon his soldiers and escape alone. He also wanted to save the lives of most people by not leaving, hoping that one day King Qi would revive the Kingdom of Chongqing.

Encouraged by Luo Quan, the morale of the soldiers was high again, and they rushed madly into the imperial city for the final glory and dignity of the royal family.

At this time, the corpses of the inner palace guards in front of Bishui Pavilion were lying all over the stone bridge.

After the last guard fell, the guards of the outer palace rushed towards the stone bridge crazily. Concubine Zhen and the others had not gone far, and there was still hope of catching up.

But when they rushed forward, a man blocked the middle of the stone bridge.

Seeing this figure, all the guards in the outer palace stopped. They exchanged glances with each other, but no one dared to do anything to this person. After all, the person in front of them was the emperor of Dayu.

“Chase, chase.”

The prince’s voice kept coming, and he was still crazy. Seeing that Concubine Zhen, the bargaining chip, was about to escape, he was extremely anxious.

While shouting, he saw Xiao Wenxuan standing alone in the middle, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he walked straight forward.

“Father, why don’t you run away? Could it be that you already know that you won’t survive today?” The prince’s face was distorted and his smile was sinister and strange.

Xiao Wenxuan felt nauseated and suddenly vomited out a large mouthful of blood. At the same time, almost all the strength in his body disappeared. He poked the sharp sword in his hand on the ground to support his body.

“Escape? How can I escape if I don’t see your traitor die in front of me with my own eyes?” Xiao Wenxuan said sternly.

The prince sneered and said: “Father, you knew you couldn’t escape, right? Doctor Wu probably told you everything, but luckily I found out in time, otherwise he would have allowed you to live a few more days.”

“You treacherous son.” Xiao Wenxuan coughed violently again. After he was poisoned, Doctor Wu risked his life to tell him about the poisoning, and also told him the time when the poison occurred.

Because of this, he decided to stay today, because according to the estimation of the time, his life would only last one or two days, and the increase in the number of times he vomited blood today further proved this.

“Father, you can’t blame me. I’ve been waiting for this throne for too long. Now I’m over thirty, but now my mother has given birth to a thirteenth brother. If you change your mind and make him the prince, what will happen to my son?” There is no hope for the throne anymore. You can’t blame me. You forced me to do this.” The prince yelled like a madman.

“It is true, it is true.” Xiao Wenxuan said to himself sadly, after all, the prince embarked on this path because of the thirteenth prince.

Taking a deep breath, he said: “But do you really think you can ascend the throne and become emperor?”
