Chapter 262: Changes at the City Gate
"I am the King of Qin. There is something wrong with the soldiers in front of me. Capture them quickly!"
The fifth prince drove his horse forward with all his might while shouting angrily. His voice became a little hoarse due to anxiety and anger, but it still had an irresistible power, echoing for a long time in front of the empty city gate.
The soldiers guarding the gate were stunned at first, as if they were frozen in place, and then expressions of panic and hesitation appeared on their faces.
Some soldiers looked at each other, at a loss, their spears trembling slightly, their eyes full of confusion and panic, some even whispered: "What should we do?"
Fortunately, there were several veteran soldiers in each team of gatekeepers. They looked back and forth between the King of Qin and those suspicious soldiers, weighing the pros and cons in their minds. Then they gritted their teeth and shouted loudly, "We will obey the King of Qin's order!"
One of the veteran soldiers who looked like a small leader ordered the fastest soldier beside him: "Go back and report the news quickly."
As soon as they finished speaking, they rushed towards the suspicious soldiers with spears in hand without hesitation, shouting: "According to the order of the King of Qin, you all must surrender immediately!"
As soon as they finished speaking, they rushed towards the suspicious soldiers with spears in hand without hesitation, shouting: "According to the order of the King of Qin, you all must surrender immediately!"
At this time, the fake soldiers did not know how their identities were exposed.
But at this moment, their reaction was also extremely quick. They moved closer to each other without hesitation and formed a tight defensive circle.
They drew their swords one after another, the blades flashing coldly in the sun, making people shudder. They shouted loudly: "Brothers, let's fight! Kill one and we'll get back our investment, kill two and we'll make a profit."
The voice was full of determination and madness.
After shouting, their team quickly and orderly split into two teams.
One of the teams had ferocious faces and roared as they rushed towards the soldiers guarding the gate, trying to break through the defense line;
The other team had fierce eyes and attacked the horses of the eldest prince and the fifth prince at high speed, like vicious wolves, wanting to capture the target in one fell swoop.
During the chaotic scene, some innocent people were too frightened to dodge and were ruthlessly hacked down by the vicious thieves. Blood splattered everywhere, staining the ground red, but the thieves were unmoved, as if human lives were worthless in their eyes.
Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui looked at each other.
The two of them were in sync and jumped off their horses quickly and efficiently.
As soon as their feet touched the ground, they quickly steadied their bodies like nails. Then, they shouted in the direction of the eldest prince and the fifth prince: "Qianxue, Qianyan, you must protect the two princes and retreat to the city gate. Move quickly!"
As they spoke, their movements were as fast as lightning, and they were in perfect harmony.
Chu Ci's figure flashed, and he kicked out sideways swiftly. The thief who was about to swing a knife was kicked away like a kite with a broken string.
Fan Jingrui was also very skilled. He turned his wrist lightly and swung his sword. In an instant, the two men who had rushed towards the fifth prince's horse fell down.
At the same time, the supporting soldiers quickly took their positions.
They filled the vacancies quickly like a surging tide.
In an instant, the soldiers' shouts and the clashing sounds of weapons resounded through the sky, deafening.
The well-trained army had an absolute crushing advantage over the fake soldiers in terms of both numbers and combat effectiveness.
The fake soldiers seemed so vulnerable in front of the regular army.
After only two rounds, except for the fake sergeant who was in the lead, all the others were killed.
After confirming that there was no danger in the surroundings, the leading general knelt down in front of the first and fifth princes with a terrified look on his face, "I am sorry that I came late to rescue you and frightened you two. Please forgive me, Your Highness the King of Shu and Your Highness the King of Qin."
The eldest prince raised his hand slightly and said gently, "General, please stand up quickly. This happened suddenly and the situation is dangerous and unpredictable. It is not easy for you to arrive in time under such an urgent situation. This prince and my fifth brother understand this in our hearts and do not mean to blame you."
The fifth prince also did not want to be overshadowed by the eldest prince: "Yes, General, please do not blame yourself."
"Now that the thief has been eliminated, it is indeed a blessing in disguise. But the most urgent matter is the injury of my eldest brother. We must not be careless. We must quickly find a good doctor to treat him. Do not delay the treatment, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
He is a good brother who loves his elder brother wholeheartedly.
That look can't be fake.
All I can say is that people in the royal family are born masters of acting.
Just watching the familiar people trying their best to perform in front of him, there was always an awkward feeling that it was difficult to fit in. This feeling was like knowing that it was a carefully choreographed play, but still having to bite the bullet to cooperate, which was really awkward to the extreme. Helplessly, Chu Ci had to look up at the sky, trying to temporarily free himself from this uncomfortable scene.
Fortunately, the generals below were unable to notice Chu Ci's subtle movements due to their position.
Moreover, this person was also a master, and cooperated very well with the Fifth Prince. He said respectfully: "I will escort the two princes back to the palace immediately." After that, he quickly arranged the personnel and made arrangements for the escort, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
It’s just that we just entered the city gate not long ago.
Zhang Rang, the emperor's personal eunuch, hurried over with a group of people.
He looked anxious, and looked at the eldest prince and the fifth prince hurriedly, his eyes full of concern and inquiry.
Seeing that the eldest prince's arm was only lightly bandaged and there was little blood on the wound, he thought that his injury was not serious. He breathed a sigh of relief and then shouted shrilly: "The emperor has ordered that the King of Shu, the King of Qin, and Princess Yixin and her husband come to the palace to see him--"
As soon as Zhang Rang finished speaking, before the eldest prince could speak, the fifth prince asked anxiously, "Eunuch Zhang, didn't the emperor only allow us to enter the palace? Didn't he send a doctor? My eldest brother and Lord Feng have been poisoned."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Rang hurriedly bowed and said with great fear, "I have acted carelessly and thought poorly. I hope Your Highness the Fifth Prince will forgive me. I will order someone to rush to the palace to report to the Emperor that the First Prince and Lord Feng have been poisoned."
After saying this, he straightened up and waved his hand hurriedly to signal the eunuch beside him to do it quickly.
At the same time, he asked the Yulin Guards to speed up their return journey.
Zhang Rang looked anxious and shouted, "Yulin Guards, listen up! Speed up and escort the princes to the palace as quickly as possible!"
Naturally, the Yulin Guards did not dare to be negligent at all. At this moment, they were all concentrating and putting all their efforts into it, wishing they could leave behind an afterimage.
The actual effect is similar. The journey from the city gate, which usually takes half an hour, has been shortened to twenty minutes.
As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, two imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau who were best at surgery and toxicology were already waiting there.
