Steel Dynasty - Chapter 526

[Chapter 526 Fall]

On the stone bridge, the prince and Xiao Wenxuan stood opposite each other.

Xiao Wenxuan’s words made the prince furious, and he shouted: “As long as you die, I will be the emperor of Chongqing.”

“No, you will not be the emperor of Chongqing. You are just a pawn of King Zhao. From ten When the third prince was born, he was using your desire for the throne to obtain the supreme rights he wanted. Now that King Zhao has arrived with his troops, you will be the next to die. Treason, you have destroyed the country of Chongqing and the royal family. Everything.”

Speaking of anger, Xiao Wenxuan’s face suddenly turned red.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible. I am the emperor, and King Zhao must listen to me. I will never believe your words again.” The prince shook his head and suddenly raised the sharp sword in his hand to stab Xiao Wenxuan.

The guards of the outer palace looked at the prince in horror at this moment, and the scene of regicide was staged before their eyes.

Blood flowed down the cold sword edge, and Xiao Wenxuan sprayed a large mouthful of blood on the prince’s body. At this moment, Xiao Wenxuan’s eyes suddenly showed a hint of relief.

He didn’t run away not just because he was too poisoned and couldn’t save himself, but more because he blamed himself. If he hadn’t supported the prince, he wouldn’t be in this situation now.

If it weren’t for his connivance to the Zhao family, King Zhao would not have become more powerful and arrogant day by day. If it weren’t for his suspicion back then, King Ning and King Kang would not have died, leading to the weakening of the royal family, let alone the barbarian occupation of Yanyun Sixteenth State affairs.

“I feel sorry for my ancestors, my loyal ministers, and my people.” Life was passing by little by little, and Xiao Wenxuan felt filled with regret.

After a mouthful of blood sprayed on the prince, Xiao Wenxuan used all his strength to slash at the prince with his sword.

At this time, the prince was shocked by Xiao Wenxuan’s blood. When he came back to his senses, he saw Xiao Wenxuan’s sharp sword slashing at him. He was so shocked that he immediately dodged.

But because they were too close, it was too late for him to dodge. A scream rang out. The prince folded his arms and screamed. One of his arms was cut off by Xiao Wenxuan and fell to the ground.

“I’m going to kill you, I’m going to kill you!” The severe pain drove the prince completely into madness, and he kicked Xiao Wenxuan, who was shaking.

At this time, Xiao Wenxuan could no longer hold on, and his consciousness gradually blurred.

“I’ll beat you to death, I’ll beat you to death!” The prince still didn’t understand his hatred and kicked Xiao Wenxuan’s body with all his strength, but a sudden burst of gunfire suddenly woke him up.

He looked towards the source of the gunfire and saw the guards of the outer palace falling continuously under rounds of fire from the musketeers, and Luo Quan was looking towards him.

Seeing this scene, the prince was shocked. He said to the bodyguard beside him: “Go and light the beacon fire.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” After receiving the order, the bodyguard immediately ran towards the East Palace, and soon a line of smoke rose into the sky. .

King Zhao, who was leisurely coming to the palace, was overjoyed when he saw the beacon fire. He said: “The prince has lit the beacon fire. Xiao Wenxuan is dead. Immediately go to the palace and wipe out the rebellion.”

“Yes.” The general behind King Zhao immediately led the cavalry. Rush towards the palace along Suzaku Avenue.

At this time, in the palace, under the attack of the musketeers, the guards in the outer palace dispersed one after another. Upon seeing this, the prince also followed the guards and fled to the east palace.

Seeing Xiao Wenxuan wearing a dragon robe on the stone bridge, Luo Quan rushed over on horseback.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!”

Luo Quan knelt down in front of Xiao Wenxuan and gently shook Xiao Wenxuan.

As if hearing Luo Quan’s voice, Xiao Wenxuan opened his eyes like a flashback. He suddenly held Luo Quan’s hand and said: “I can’t help you. I am so suspicious of you. I didn’t expect that it was you I saw before I died.” .”

“Your Majesty.” Luo Quan’s voice choked.

Xiao Wenxuan held Luo Quan’s hand tighter, and he continued: “Now the person who can turn the tide is none other than King Qi. I have made a will for him to inherit the throne. You should assist him as you assist me, and , I don’t want my concubine, prince and princess to be humiliated. If they can’t escape, just kill them.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Luo Quan nodded heavily.

After saying this, Xiao Wenxuan closed his eyes. He understood Luo Quan. Without this final order, he would have fought to the death, but he was unwilling to let such a humiliated minister follow him.

After taking a deep look at Xiao Wenxuan, Luo Quan suddenly stood up.

At this time, the palace was already in chaos. The concubines, princes, and princesses were in chaos. Some concubines followed Concubine Zhen and fled towards the royal garden, while some were so frightened that they cried and didn’t know what to do. ?

Seeing this scene, Luo Quan sighed and ordered: “Immediately protect the prince and princess and go to the royal garden.”

“Yes, general.”

At this time, Luo Quan’s army was mixed with musketeers, private soldiers and some people in the city. The arrival of King Zhao still made many soldiers understand.

But at this time, the situation was over. The city walls and palace walls were still in the hands of the prince. A steady stream of cavalry was entering Chang’an City. Now he only gathered seven or eight thousand soldiers, and most of them fled.

Following Luo Quan, the soldiers searched for the prince, princess and concubines in the palace. Anyone who was willing to follow them went towards the royal garden.

At this time, in the royal garden, the secret guards had completed preparations for heating the hot air balloon, and Fiji and other ministers from the war faction also arrived with their families.

Luo Quan appeared with his soldiers and they were overjoyed.

“General, take your people to Chang’an Wharf quickly. All the Qingzhou merchant ships docked at Chang’an Wharf this time have received orders from His Highness. You will be safe once you get on board.” Li San said.

Luo Quan looked at the hot air balloon and said, “Isn’t this the ride?”

“General, these two hot air balloons were only used when the situation was worst. Now the plan is being implemented smoothly. There is no need. Now we have to use them to lure the enemy.” Li San said: “The real way to escape is by boat. “

Luo Quan nodded. It seems that the secret guard has two plans. The hot air balloon is just the last resort, and I’m afraid the purpose is just to save Concubine Zhen. The ship is the second plan, which is to rescue most of the people who escaped. people.

“Luo Quan, I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Fiji suddenly smiled and said, “Let’s go quickly, Concubine Zhen has already boarded the ship, and the rest are us.”

Luo Quan nodded, “Your Majesty He left an edict to let King Qi inherit the throne and ordered me to protect the young master and the princess, so I can only keep my old life.”

“King Qi,” Fiji nodded, “under these circumstances. Such a decision is the last wise move, but even if there is a will, it will not be of much use. The fragmentation of the Great Yu Kingdom is inevitable. “

“You are right, the vassal kings with different surnames have been waiting for the decline of the royal family for too long. It’s time, and now they can finally stand on their own feet.” Luo Quan sighed.
