Chapter 198 Risking Life

The dense sound of horse hooves came from the palace gate.

Then the six-foot-wide Saker Falcon suddenly dived from the air and glided to the side of the man riding the horse.

The man reined in his horse in the middle of the square, and the horse neighed and dropped its front hooves heavily.

Li Yanchang narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "Xie, Tingzhou, how did you get in?"

"I let him in." The commander of the imperial army, Jiang An, looked cold and solemn, "Since he is back, it is just right to let him in and catch him in one fell swoop. If he is allowed to return to Beilin to mobilize troops, there will be endless troubles."

Since Jiang An learned that Shen Yu was a woman, he had to re-examine the relationship between her and Xie Tingzhou.

He had not expected Xie Tingzhou to come back. He finally escaped from the cage, but he came to his door for a woman, which made him look down on him.

Shen Yu looked at Xie Tingzhou, her heart aching with anger, "Why didn't you leave?!"

Xie Tingzhou glanced around and said, "Let's solve the problem first, and I'll apologize to you later."

Li Yanchang sneered, "Since you're here, do you think you can still leave?"

"Did you forget that there's a knife on your neck?" Shen Yu approached the blade on her neck.

Li Yanchang smiled, "I bet you don't dare to do it. Try it and see whether it's easier to chop off the little grandson's head or my head."

The imperial guard holding the grandson held the child, who was not as long as the knife in his hand, and the baby cried until his voice was hoarse.

The Crown Princess kept crying, and Li Zhaonian turned his face away and dared not look.

"She is soft-hearted." Xie Tingzhou slowly raised his bow and aimed at Li Yanchang, "But I'm different."

Jiang An raised his hand, and only heard footsteps and swish sounds. The imperial guards surrounded the square and drew their knives one after another.

Xie Tingzhou narrowed his eyes, the bow blocked one of his eyes, he raised his eyelids and looked at Shen Yu.

They looked at each other.

In this silent look, they seemed to understand each other's words.

Xie Tingzhou's lips hidden behind the bow curled up, he knew she understood.

"It should be..." Shen Yu said word by word in Li Yanchang's ear: "Your head is easier to chop."

The accident happened at this moment.

The bowstring made a creaking sound.

Zheng——, the finger loosened for a moment, and the knife on Li Yanchang's neck also left.

He felt a chill on his neck, and his eyes subconsciously followed the direction where the blade left.

The blade was like blood, and at this moment it was thrown out by Shen Yu with a string of splashing blood beads, spinning towards the imperial army.

Li Yanchang covered his throat in shock, and warm blood flowed out from between his fingers.

"How...how..." Blood came out of his mouth.

Li Yanchang could not survive. Shen Yu's cut was very skillful. Li Yanchang would not die immediately, but even the Great Luo Immortal would not be able to sew his neck back.

She wanted him to watch his blood drain from his body, and let him slowly feel death approaching bit by bit.

Xie Tingzhou's feather arrow tore through the wind, spinning in the wind, and shot towards the imperial guards who held the emperor's grandson hostage like lightning.

Swish——

The feather arrow pierced the body of the imperial guards who held the emperor's grandson hostage, followed by the bright red Yinfeng, which spun in the air and cut off the imperial guards' heads.

The imperial guards fell back heavily, and the baby in their hands was thrown high up. Shen Yu brought her body skills to the extreme. This was the fastest time she ran in her life.

She jumped up on the shoulders of a man, caught the baby in her arms in mid-air, and then grabbed the bloody Yinfeng.

The python robe fluttered in the air, and her breathing was still tight when she landed.

All this happened too fast, and the tacit understanding of no language communication caught everyone off guard.

Neither of them stopped, and Xie Tingzhou drew his bow and arrows in one go, and three feather arrows instantly shot into the back of the guards.

Shen Yu drew her sword quickly and took off the head of the nearest guard in an instant.

"Hold it tight." Shen Yu stuffed the crying grandson to the Crown Princess and pushed her towards Xuanhui Hall, "Hide over there."

The scene became chaotic, and the princes and concubines ran towards Xuanhui Hall, which was their way out.

"Catch them!" Jiang An didn't care about Li Yanchang, and immediately shouted: "The prince of Beilin and the chief guard Shen Yu assassinated the prince and intended to kill the king. Whoever can take their heads, I will reward them with 100 taels of gold!"

Shen Yu looked around and saw that the heavy guards were vigilantly surrounding her and slowly shrinking the encirclement. She had no choice but to retreat to Xuanhui Hall.

But she still had Xie Tingzhou, and the guards were in between.

Thousands of people were so numerous that even a round-the-clock battle could trap them to death here.

Xie Tingzhou looked at Shen Yu. He was ready to walk to her side through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

He slowly pulled out the frost hanging on the horse.

The long-silent sharp blade glowed silver in the hands of its owner, as if it was excited about the subsequent massacre.

"Xie Tingzhou!" Jiang An's eyes widened with anger, "You haven't lost all your martial arts?! You hide it very well, but it doesn't matter, I will smash you to pieces today."

Xie Tingzhou looked up, "Li Yanchang can't survive, why don't you surrender?"

"Do you think I'm stupid? I've rebelled. Surrendering at this time is a dead end. I'll kill you first." Jiang An's face was grim.

"The imperial guards, listen to my orders!" Jiang An pointed directly at the Crown Princess, "Grab the child in her arms for me. I'll be of great use to you. The rest of you, kill them without mercy!"

Shen Yu knew what Jiang An was up to.

Li Yanchang can't survive, and Jiang An is now in a dilemma. Surrendering will surely lead to death. It is better to seek wealth and honor in danger and fight for a higher and more dangerous future.

He wants to bloodbath the palace, push the blame to Xie Tingzhou and Beilin, and then support the emperor's grandson in the cradle to take the throne, and he will be the regent who controls the government behind the scenes.

Shen Yu looked at the palace gate, which was closed and there was no movement from outside.

Why hasn't he arrived yet? She thought to herself.

"Go to the door!" Shen Yu shouted to Xie Tingzhou, waving her knife and killing him in the direction of Xie Tingzhou.

She transferred all the available personnel in the imperial guards to guard Xuanhui Hall. At this moment, the two groups of people were fighting together.

The imperial guards in front of Xuanhui Hall protected the princes and concubines, and held the steps to prevent other imperial guards from attacking.

The brothers who fought side by side in the past are now facing each other with swords raised, and it is a matter of life and death.

Shouts of killing filled the air. Shen Yu fought and retreated, and finally stood side by side with Xie Tingzhou.

Countless imperial guards fell in front of them, and there was no place to stand on the ground.

Bloodstains spread along the gaps between the gold bricks on the square floor, weaving a scarlet web in the palace.

Too brave!

They were all people who had shed the blood of the enemy on the battlefield. How could they be compared with the imperial guards who guarded the palace all year round?

They were two gods who would kill gods and Buddhas!

The imperial guards were afraid of being killed, and they were afraid that they would be the next to fall, so they hesitated and dared not move forward.
