Chapter 285: Changes at the Palace Gate, Causing Loss of Life

"Yes, we must let the emperor give us an explanation!"

"We can't chill the hearts of our generals!"

"Go now, go!"

The proposal of the pioneer general Hu Dalin was immediately approved by several drunk Youyun warriors. They drank the wine in their bowls in unison, got up and walked out of the inn.

Here, Liu Ziyu, the client who was already drunk, saw this and wanted to get up to stop a few people, but his feet were weak and he sat down again, muttering: "No--"

The next moment, he tilted his head and fell on the wine table.

I don’t know whether he was pretending to be drunk or really drunk.

Outside the inn, Hu Dalin and others left as soon as they could, got on their horses and headed straight for the imperial city. They wanted to go to the palace to face the emperor and complain about his eldest brother Liu Ziyu.

At night, Jinling City is still brightly lit and full of tourists.

After Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian ascended the throne, he abolished the curfew system of the previous dynasty. In addition, today is the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, and the streets and alleys are crowded with citizens who come to attend lantern festivals, guess lantern riddles, and enjoy fireworks.

"Drive, drive, drive——"

Suddenly, several fast horses rushed into the street, without any regard for the safety of the people who were visiting. The rider whipped the horses while arrogantly shouting in the street: "Get out of the way, get the fuck out of my way." ——”

The frightened people turned sideways to give way. Looking at the back of the horse with the sword on its back, they dared not speak in anger.

After a stick of incense, Hu Dalin and his party of five people rushed to the gate of Jinling Imperial City. They slapped and beat at the closed palace door: "Open the door, open the door quickly!"

"Bold, who forced his way into the palace gate in the middle of the night?"

At this time, the palace door was opened from inside, and a Jinwu Guard general wearing bright light armor and a ring-shou sword on his waist came out, followed by several Jinwu Guard generals wearing gold armor.

This person is Wu Feng, the deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard who is guarding the palace gate tonight. He is also one of the thirty-six earls of the Tang Dynasty who was named Guangling Bo at the Tang Dynasty's conferment ceremony today.

Wu Feng stood in front of the palace gate, glared angrily at the drunkards in front of him, and said sternly: "Who is coming?"

snort!

Hu Dalin said with a mouth full of alcohol: "I am Hu Dalin, the vanguard general of the southern army. Open the palace door quickly. I want to meet the emperor. I have urgent military affairs to report to the emperor!"

Um?

Wu Feng raised his eyebrows and saw through Hu Dalin's lies at a glance.

He replied coldly: "Hu Dalin, if you drink too much, go back and sleep. This forbidden area of ​​the palace is not a place for you to run wild and get drunk. Get out of here!"

With that said, Wu Feng was about to return to the palace gate.

"you dare--"

While talking, Hu Dalin grabbed Wu Feng's arm.

This guy was originally a simple-minded guy with strong limbs, and because he drank too much, he could no longer control his words and deeds. He only wanted to meet the emperor to plead grievances for his eldest brother Liu Ziyu.

He threatened fiercely: "You heard clearly, I am Hu Dalin, the vanguard general of the Southern Expedition Army. Get out of the way quickly, I want to meet the emperor!"

"Get out!"

Wu Feng didn't give him a good look either. He threw away Hu Dalin's right hand that grabbed his arm and said impatiently: "I am still the Guangling Bo who was conferred by the emperor. I am a second-grade military general in the Tang Dynasty. I am better than you." There are so many vanguard generals!”

Teng!

This sentence immediately ignited the suppressed anger in the hearts of Hu Dalin and his group, who were drunk and making trouble.

Hu Dalin took a step back, pulled out his sword with a clang, and put the sword directly on Wu Feng's neck. He said in a stern tone: "You are just a fucking groom who leads the emperor's horse. Are you worthy of the title of earl?"

Clang, Clang, Clang!

The next moment, when he saw Hu Dalin breaking into the palace gate at night, he took the lead to draw his sword, and the Jinwu guards behind Wu Feng also drew their swords.

Seeing that Hu Dalin was about to suffer a loss, Xiong Kai and others who were accompanying him also drew their sabers.

For a time, the two sides were at war with each other, drawing swords and confronting each other in front of the palace gate.

Wu Feng, as the deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard, was naturally not frightened by Hu Dalin. Instead, he stared at him and said with disdain: "Hu Dalin, you have the guts to dare to wield swords and guns in the forbidden area of ​​the palace. Do you want to rebel-"

"You're so talented, just try touching me!"

"You're looking for fucking death!"

Under the influence of alcohol, Hu Dalin's courage and courage were multiplied, coupled with the dissatisfaction that had been suppressed in his heart.

Therefore, when he heard Wu Feng irritating him with words, he unexpectedly gave Wu Feng a knife and wiped his neck directly.

puff--

The sound of the sharp blade cutting through flesh was particularly harsh outside the silent palace gate.

"you--"

Immediately afterwards, Wu Feng subconsciously tried to cover the wound on his neck with his hands, but in vain.

After the carotid artery was cut open by a sharp blade, how could the blood spurting out be covered with hands?

This sudden change shocked everyone present.

In panic, everyone just watched helplessly as Wu Feng collapsed from serious injuries, and finally died in silence.

This Guanglingbo of the Tang Dynasty only lasted three hours from being granted the title to his death.

Seeing the loss of life, Hu Dalin and his party were mostly sober from their drinks. They were stunned on the spot and didn't know what to do until the Jinwu Guards soldiers who surrounded them disarmed themselves.

Coincidentally, at this time, Xiao Po, the commander of the Jinwu Guards and the newly ennobled Marquis of Zhongyi of the Tang Dynasty, led his troops to patrol here. He saw the deputy commander Wu Feng lying in a pool of blood, and then looked at Hu Dalin and others who smelled of alcohol;

Xiao Po just said with a gloomy face and expressionless face: "Hu Dalin, you are in big trouble!"

Then, he waved his hand and said sternly: "Take him away!"

......

Inside Kunning Palace.

Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian was talking with Empress Liu Shujun.

The news of today's enthronement ceremony has been passed back to the harem. Empress Liu Shujun was also quite surprised why her brother Liu Ziyu was only enthroned as an earl in the end.

Chen Huaian looked at his newlywed wife and asked with a smile: "Shujun, are you also wondering why I only enthroned Liu Ziyu as an earl in the end?"

Hmm!

Liu Shujun nodded obediently, looking at Chen Huaian with a pair of smart big eyes, as if waiting for a reasonable explanation.

Just as Chen Huaian was about to speak and tell Liu Shujun the reason why he enthroned Liu Ziyu as the Earl of Wuyi, hurried footsteps and the announcement of the palace maids sounded outside Kunning Palace: "Your Majesty, Xiao Po, the Marquis of Loyalty, wants to see you!"

Hmm?

Hearing this, Chen Huaian frowned slightly, thinking that it was almost midnight, and Xiao Po came to see him in a hurry. Could something big have happened?

Then, Chen Huaian gave Liu Shujun a look to wait for a moment, then stood up, put on the dragon robe and walked out of the inner hall of the palace, and ordered: "Let the Loyalty Marquis come in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
