Chapter 302 Planning
Wu Tian followed Lezi and the other two to the outside of the back hall. He heard the sound from a distance and quickly led his men in.
Originally, the palace maids of the Eastern Palace lived in different side rooms or classrooms, but now they all gathered in the Xuanming Hall.
"The prince clearly agreed to let us leave the palace, what do you mean?!"
"You bastards, if your master hadn't sent us to monitor His Royal Highness, how could we have ended up like this? And now we're being murdered by you worthless bastards!"
"What the hell is this surveillance? It's clearly poisoning! Since I'm about to die, I'm going to tell the truth!"
"Retribution, you will also receive retribution! You have done evil things, and one day, you will end up like us!"
"..."
Everyone in the crowd was talking, and Wu Tian felt that the situation was out of control. He was almost scared to death.
what is the problem?
Only then did he realize that even the original imperial guards of the Eastern Palace had joined the battle. For a time, the palace maids, eunuchs, imperial guards and the Yulin Army disguised as imperial guards were fighting fiercely.
However, compared to the three dead Yulin soldiers, the palace maids suffered the most casualties. So far, fifty or sixty people have died.
Screams, roars and cries rose and fell from the crowd.
Wu Tian originally planned to find the prince first, but he didn't expect that a eunuch next to him had already picked up an antique vase with great effort and smashed it at him.
Wu Tian dodged to the side, and with a crisp "crash" sound, the vase shattered.
He quickly drew his long sword to resist.
While he kept stabbing his knife into the chests of the palace maids who had exposed themselves, he looked for opportunities to ask the people around him about the cause of the unrest.
Lezi has been following Wu Tian to resist since he came back, and only now does he have time to explain to him in detail.
The clash of swords and knives made him raise his voice to the highest pitch possible: "Sir, our men came here originally to look for the Crown Prince, but while on patrol, they were recognized by several palace maids. They were also the Third Prince's men, and seeing our appearance, they thought we were here to kill them."
"I was so frightened at the time that I didn't know why I started to complain loudly. I said that the Third Prince ordered them to put croton seeds in the Crown Prince's food, that he had arranged to not give him any food, that he had replaced his medicine, and that he had ordered them to secretly beat him and keep an eye on him..."
"When we brothers heard this, we were so scared that we had no choice but to kill them! Who would have thought that after we killed those people, more and more palace people came out, not only palace maids, but also eunuchs, and they all started shouting and rebelled against us."
"When we saw the situation, we were helpless and had to fight back with swords. Later, we attracted the Eastern Palace's original imperial guards. They also recognized us, but fortunately, some of them were our own people, so the fight broke out in a chaotic manner..."
As he spoke, seven or eight drops of blood had already smeared Lezi's face.
He waved his rough hand, staring at Wu Tian with his bright eyes, waiting for his instructions.
After hearing his loud voice, Wu Tian really wanted to stab him in the stomach with a knife.
The whole damn audience heard it!
Who doesn't know that they are the fake Third Prince's men? ! !
The sky is falling!!
He had no other choice but to raise his voice and yell, "Brothers, these cunning slaves are confusing right and wrong and telling lies. Kill them all! Kill all those who are disloyal to the Crown Prince!!!"
Wu Tian was born tall and mighty, with a beard and a strong body. He was always regarded as the most manly person in the Yulin Army.
His masculine roar gave great confidence to the Yulin Army who were pretending to be the imperial guards.
Everyone immediately became as excited as a rooster that had eaten a centipede, with their blood boiling and morale high.
Lu Xuan, standing on the beam, could just see the situation outside the hall. He saw Wu Tian leading his men to the back hall and immediately tugged at Jiang Xing's sleeve. "Now that they've left, I don't know how long it will take for the emperor's men to arrive. There are only palace maids and eunuchs behind them, and they don't have much resistance. Let's take advantage of this moment to leave quickly. Every moment we can hide is a moment!"
Jiang Xing thought this was indeed a good idea, so he nodded, and he and Fei Xing quickly brought everyone down.
Back in the hall, Lu Xuan quickly took out a talisman from his waist, chanted a few spells softly, and exhaled. The talisman then turned into a paper crane and flew quickly towards the back hall.
The prince was stunned by this scene and asked hurriedly, "Ah Xuan, what kind of talisman is this? Why is it so magical?"
Lu Xuan chuckled. "This isn't a spell, it's a paper crane spirit. It will bring me news from over there. Let's leave quietly!"
However, what they didn't expect was that as soon as the group walked out of the Wenhua Gate of the East Palace, they heard the footsteps of a large number of people outside.
Jiang Xing immediately raised his hand, "My brother's men are here!"
Everyone quickly turned around and headed back towards Wenhua Hall.
However, at the moment he turned around, Lu Xuan's gaze suddenly looked towards the back hall, and a hint of worry rose between his brows.
"what happened?"
Noticing her strangeness, Jiang Xing asked subconsciously.
"In the back hall, there are so many souls leaving their bodies and reincarnating. They've killed people in the back hall! And they've killed so many people!"
Panic flickered in her pupils, "I'm afraid that all the people you said were leaving the palace today have been killed!"
With so many lives lost, I wonder if it will affect the reputation of the sect.
Through the crack in the door of Wenhua Palace, Jiang Xing saw Pei Fan had already entered the Wenhua Gate of the East Palace with a large number of Jinwu Guards. Then he took the prince and pretended to escape, running towards the Wenhua Gate in a panic.
As Pei Fan entered the room, he saw Prince Jin staggering in fear, and hurriedly called the Jinwu Guards forward, "Your Highness, what happened?"
The prince following behind Jiang Xing immediately said awkwardly and slowly: "Kill, kill, beat, beat, they..."
Jiang Xing seemed so anxious that he couldn't breathe. He immediately took over the conversation: "In the back hall, the imperial guards and the palace servants had a conflict. I don't know why, but now they have started killing each other. Many people have died!"
Lu Xuan followed suit, saying, "We vaguely heard something inside, saying something about the Third Prince, and then about harming the Crown Prince, and then both sides started fighting!"
When Pei Fan heard this, he was so frightened that his soul almost froze.
He quickly said to the Jinwu Guards behind him, "Leave fifty to protect the prince and the crown prince. The rest of you, follow me and suppress the rebellion!"
"Yes!"
Amidst the stern response, Pei Fan immediately led the 150-man Jinwu Guards to the rear hall.
As soon as Pei Fan left, Lu Xuan looked at Jiang Xing with some concern, "The ones coming are the Emperor's men. The Emperor has such a close relationship with the Third Prince. Will we..."
Jiang Xingyun smiled calmly, "Don't worry, we're safe!"
Seeing Lu Xuan's confusion, he finally explained, "That's because those who came before were all the Third Prince's men. Regardless of whether Pei Fan could recognize them or not, they all had to die. If he didn't recognize them, their deaths would have been slower. But if he did, Pei Fan, who knew the Emperor so well, would have wanted to kill them quickly and silence them."
"And by not having any of us go, we actually did him a favor. He not only purged the Imperial Guards who were causing chaos in the Eastern Palace, but also prevented them from revealing the truth, thus saving the Third Prince."
Jiang Xing glanced back at the Crown Prince and whispered, "We can also take this opportunity to use the excuse that all the East Palace Guards have been killed to replace them with a group of the Crown Prince's own Guards!"
