Steel Dynasty - Chapter 527

[Chapter 527 The fate of the prince]

The hot air balloon flew northward following the direction of the wind.

Li San glanced at the hot air balloon in the sky, turned around and followed the path of the Royal Garden towards Chang’an Pier.

In the past few days, he had been planning his retreat route day and night. Now that his hard work had paid off, he went down the mountain and rushed to the dock with the remaining secret guards.

At this time, most of the soldiers, officials, concubines, and maids on the dock had already boarded the ship, while some of the merchant ships left for Qingzhou before he arrived.

The last commercial ship is parked at the dock now.

Looking at the hydrogen balloon in the sky, Li San led the secret guards to board the merchant ship. Amidst the boatmen’s chants, the merchant ship floated downstream along the rapids of the Yellow River. As long as they got on the ship, King Zhao could take advantage of the width of the Yellow River. The cavalry could only watch them leave.

However, in order to prevent being chased and intercepted by a large number of cavalry, he still let the hydrogen balloon take off. On the hydrogen balloon, members of the secret guard changed into Princess Zhen’s clothes. They were responsible for inducing King Zhao’s pursuers.

When Li San and others boarded the ship, King Zhao’s soldiers and horses had completed the encirclement of Chang’an City. In front of the palace gate, King Zhao and Zhao Yuanliang entered the palace on horseback from the main entrance.

“Father, I never thought that one day we would be able to ride horses into the palace.” Zhao Yuanliang said while looking at the majestic buildings in the palace.

King Zhao laughed heartily when he heard this, “Hahaha, from now on we can all ride in and out of the palace. Not only that, we can also live in the palace.”

“What my father said is absolutely true, but how come there are no beauties living in this palace? Accompanying me, I will capture some beauties from this palace for my father. After all, there are three thousand beauties in the palace, which can be said to be a gathering of beauties from all over the world.” King

Zhao became even more happy, and he said to Zhao Yuanliang: “You still know me best. The city of Chang’an is very rich and can provide us with the money to forge muskets.”

Zhao Yuanliang reined up his horse and rushed towards the inner courtyard of the palace with a pair of cavalry.

At this moment, a group of guards and the prince came from the direction of the East Palace. The prince was very happy to see King Zhao. Now his wound had been bandaged. Enduring the severe pain, the prince said: “King Zhao, you But it’s finally here.”

King Zhao was riding on his horse with no intention of getting down. He looked at Xiao Wenxuan’s body on the stone bridge and said, “The emperor was killed by you?”

“Of course, it’s just like the original plan.” Zhu Ya said, “Now that the emperor is dead, I will soon call you mine. This time King Zhao has done a good job in protecting you. I will definitely reward King Zhao greatly.”

“Really? I have to thank the prince.” Zhao The king said calmly, and then he said to the generals on his left and right: “The prince has killed the king and usurped the throne. Come and take down such a wolf-hearted person.”

The prince’s smile stiffened for a moment, and he looked at King Zhao’s soldiers in disbelief. Coming up, he asked anxiously: “Uncle, what do you mean?”

“What do you mean? Regicide and usurping the throne is a capital crime. The old minister is loyal to the emperor, so he naturally wants to do justice for heaven.” King Zhao said loudly, with a clear voice. The appearance of righteous speech.

At this moment, the prince understood it no matter how stupid he was, and he turned pale with fear.

“Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.”

The leading guard general said: “Your Highness, the regicide has nothing to do with us. It was all done by the prince alone.

King Zhao spares your life.” “Well, as long as you can serve me, I will exempt you from guilt. “King Zhao laughed.

The prince suffered from the pain of a broken arm before, and now he was charged with regicide. At this moment, his body was shaking violently, and fear quickly filled his heart. At this time, Xiao Wenxuan’s words rang out to him.

It is impossible for King Zhao to let him become emperor!

At this moment, he finally understood that everything was King Zhao’s conspiracy.

Thinking of this, he fell completely into despair. In order to survive, he said with tears: “Uncle, I am your nephew. Uncle, please spare me.”

King Zhao was unmoved and said to the generals : “What are you still doing? Put the prince in prison and wait for the verdict after the new emperor ascends the throne.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

A group of tiger-like soldiers immediately swarmed forward and grabbed the prince and took him away. On the way, the prince cried, But no one sympathized with him.

At this time, King Zhao asked the guards: “Where are the Queen and the Thirteenth Prince?”

“Your Highness, the Queen and the Thirteenth Prince are under strict supervision in the East Palace.” said the guard general.

“Take me there.” King Zhao said.

The guards nodded, got up and took King Zhao to the East Palace. Under the guidance of the guards, King Zhao arrived at a side hall in the East Palace.

“Your Highness, the queen is here.”

King Zhao nodded, hesitated, and then opened the door of the side hall.

“Wanrong.”

In the side hall, Queen Zhao was holding the Thirteenth Prince and singing a song in a low voice with a sad voice.

The movement outside the door made her raise her head, and when she saw the face of the visitor, she suddenly sneered, “It turns out to be King Zhao. Congratulations to His Highness, King Zhao. After so many years of planning, he finally realized it today.”

Queen Zhao’s indifference made King Zhao feel sad. After feeling uncomfortable for a while, he said, “Wanrong, why are you talking to me like this? We are a family.”

“A family?” Empress Zhao sneered, “Since you are here, the emperor must be dead, and the prince did not come with you. You must have been imprisoned for regicide. You came here not for me, but for the Thirteenth Prince in my arms, right?”

When Queen Zhao said everything, King Zhao’s face became a little stiff. Said: “Wanrong, you and Xiao Wenxuan are just husband and wife, but we are flesh and blood. Now we, Zhao Hua, have won the world, aren’t you happy?”

“Should I be happy?” Empress Zhao said with hatred in her eyes, “My husband is dead, my son is about to die, and the baby in my arms has become your puppet. The future life and death are also unknown, but you ask me whether I am happy or not. .”

King Zhao was stunned and said: “Wan Rong, for this world, everything is worth it. I know you have lost a lot, but you have gained the supreme imperial power for the Zhao family. When the Thirteenth Prince grows up, If you don’t, I will let him stay with me, and I promise not to kill him.”

“Don’t even think about it.” Queen Zhao’s eyes suddenly turned red, and she suddenly raised the baby in her arms, “I will kill him even if I throw him. I won’t let your evil plot succeed.”

King Zhao was startled, and he immediately said nervously: “Wanrong, why are you doing this? Do you really have the heart to kill your own flesh and blood? I promise you not to let him Zen? “How about assisting him to become the emperor?” Queen Zhao shook her

head

and said, “I don’t believe you. You will never get the throne. You will only be a traitor in the Chongqing Kingdom.”

The baby fell.
