The most romantic little emperor

Outside the palace, the sound of shouting and killing shook the earth. Everyone in the Taiji Hall clenched their hands and broke out in cold sweat.

Qin Hao sat upright on the dragon throne, his eyes were as sharp as torches. He seemed calm, but he was actually very panicked inside.

"Report, Your Majesty!"

A messenger from the Imperial Guard rushed in, his voice trembling, "The capital is in chaos, all in chaos! All forces have risen up in rebellion, the rebels of the Right Camp, the elite of the Black Tortoise Guards, and even many officers and soldiers in the city, as well as the followers of the White Lotus Sect, have all been involved in this rebellion!"

"The Xuanwu Guards led by Lin Guodong are now advancing like a broken bamboo and are heading straight for the east gate of the capital. Fortunately, General Li is leading his troops in a bloody battle, vowing to resist the rebels' attack to the death!"

Qin Hao's face was as gloomy as the sky covered with dark clouds. He asked coldly: "How did these traitors sneak into the capital? Where is General Li Mu of the Azure Dragon Guard? And what are the Suzaku Guards doing?"

The Imperial Guards messenger had a bloody face and said nervously: "Your Majesty, the captain of the East Gate is a member of the Su family. He secretly opened the East Gate of the capital late at night. When General Li Mu learned the news, he quickly mobilized the Azure Dragon Guards to block the East Gate with all his strength, while the Vermillion Bird Guards were busy recruiting those members of the Black Tortoise Guards who had not participated in the rebellion."

"At this moment, some ministers who were loyal to the court led their personal guards to come and fight with the rebels. The entire capital has fallen into chaos, and the sound of fighting can be heard everywhere."

"I can't even tell which side is the real rebel..."

Qin Hao stood up from the dragon chair and said in a deep voice: "I believe in General Li. The traitor Lin Guodong is definitely not a match for Guanjun Hou and his son."

"Order Luo Yang to guard the nine gates of the palace and not let anyone in."

"Yes!"

The imperial guards left the Taiji Hall tumbling and crawling.

A deafening "bang" sounded throughout the entire palace. The noise was so loud and so close that it felt like an explosion next to one's ears.

At this moment, everyone's faces turned pale, and even their eyes showed a hint of panic.

I originally thought that the rebels were just wreaking havoc outside the capital, so that was it.

However, they never expected that the war would spread to the imperial palace.

Could it be that the old villain Su Zhengfang has already led the rebels into the palace?

"What's going on?" Qin Hao's face suddenly turned gloomy and he roared.

The current situation was far beyond his expectations.

At this moment, a small leader of the imperial guards rushed in hurriedly and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it is the remnants of the White Lotus Sect and a group of black-clad warriors! They dug a tunnel in advance and sneaked into Xihua Gate, trying to create chaos in the palace."

"Fortunately, the captain of the Imperial Guard discovered it early. At this moment, Guard Captain Luo is leading the Imperial Guard to fight the enemy at Xihua Gate!"

Hearing this news, Qin Hao's face turned pale and he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! Su Zhengfang, that bastard, is really colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty."

He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. After a moment, he continued to ask, "How many White Lotus remnants and black-clad warriors are there?"

The leader of the imperial guards lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly: "Reporting to your majesty, the remnants of the White Lotus Sect are estimated to be as many as 3,000 people, and there are about 1,000 black-clad warriors, and there are also a steady stream of traitors joining."

"Humph, you bastard!" Qin Hao snorted coldly, his eyes revealing a strong murderous intent. He looked around, his eyes like torches, and asked in a cold voice: "Who among you dares to lead the army to eliminate these traitors?"

Shen Nanheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was young and vigorous, in his thirties, in the prime of his life. He was tall and strong, with sharp eyes, and had the demeanor of a great general.

At this moment, he resolutely knelt down at the foot of the dragon steps and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to sacrifice my heart and soul for you. I only need 500 imperial guards to kill all those assassins! If I am unable to do so, I am willing to die as an apology and will never bring disgrace to your majesty's reputation!"

Seeing Shen Nanheng's loyalty, bravery and determination, Qin Hao's eyes showed a hint of admiration, and he laughed loudly: "Minister Shen, I admire your courage and determination. I will give you a thousand imperial guards, and you must defeat the rebels. If you succeed, I will make you a marquis, and you will be prosperous for generations!"

A big reward will always bring out brave men. Shen Nanheng's eyes revealed a wild murderous aura. He kowtowed and accepted the order: "I obey your order. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

After saying this, he quickly stood up, strode out of the Taiji Hall, quickly assembled his troops, and galloped towards the Xihua Gate.

Qin Hao's eyes gradually became cold as ice, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His voice seemed to come from the Netherworld, "Old man, it is rude not to return the favor! Today, I will let you see what the wrath of an emperor is!"

"Yue'er, quickly send someone to bring Su Gan out of the dungeon. I want to personally go to Xihua Gate and chop off the head of Su Zhengfang, the son of a traitor, in front of the rebels!"

A Yue's heart trembled, and she immediately turned around and ordered her men to carry out Qin Hao's orders.

At this moment, outside Xihua Gate, the battle was in full swing.

Arrows poured down from the sky like a rainstorm. Each arrow made a sharp sound of breaking through the air, mercilessly piercing the enemy's flesh and blood, and punching through their shields, leaving a shocking scene.

A large number of cavalrymen fell off their horses under the rain of arrows and fell to the ground screaming.

The siege ladders were also on the verge of collapse under the intensive attack of arrows. Wave after wave of soldiers fell from the high ladders onto the city wall and were smashed to pieces.

The defenders led by Luo Yang were like mad tigers, fighting a desperate battle with the enemy on the city wall.

If Xihua Gate is lost, the entire imperial city will fall under the iron hoof of the rebels.

Therefore, the imperial guards tried their best and defended the city gate to the death.

Outside the city, the rebels’ shouts of charge shook the earth. They waved their weapons and attacked the city gates frantically.

However, under the tenacious resistance of Luo Yang and the defenders, the rebels were never able to break through this solid line of defense.

At this time, Qin Hao appeared above Xihua Gate. He was wearing a dragon robe, holding a long sword, and staring at the rebels under the city with a sharp gaze.

When Su Gan was escorted to the city wall, a cold light flashed in Qin Hao's eyes.

"Su Zhengfang, you old thief! Today, I will start with your youngest son Su Gan, so that you can taste the consequences of betraying the court!" Qin Hao's voice echoed on the city wall, and every word was filled with murderous intent.

After saying that, Qin Hao swung his sword and cut off Su Gan's head.

Blood splattered everywhere and Su Gan's head rolled to the ground, causing the rebels to scream in fear.

Su Zhengfang, who was hiding in the crowd, was like a lurking poisonous snake, finally showing his ferocious fangs. He stood up resolutely, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered to stop the attack.

Then, Su Zhengfang shouted angrily in the direction of Qin Hao: "Qin Hao, you dare to kill my son? This feud is irreconcilable. I will never coexist with you!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the guards behind him immediately brought out Old Madam Wang, the head of the Chen family, and Zhu Yongkang, the second son of the Zhu family.
