Lin Zhengyong led a group of soldiers and horses straight into the palace. After all the soldiers and horses were inside, the palace gate slammed shut.

The outside of the Dragon's Saliva Palace was filled with royal guards, and Mu Jin and Su Yi stood together on the tower of the Dragon's Saliva Palace, overlooking Lin Zhengyong's troops. Thousands of them were standing on the ground in a black mass.

Lin Zhengyong glanced up at Su Yi and yelled, "Su Yi, you little bastard, you are plotting to murder our Southern Shu Emperor. Why don't you come down and die quickly?"

Yuan Lu, the personal eunuch of Emperor Gaozong, also stood beside Su Yi and shouted at Lin Zhengyong downstairs: "You guys are so brave. You dare to break into the palace without the emperor's order. Are you going to rebel?"

Lin Zhengyong sneered with a gloomy face: "You rootless eunuch, you colluded with the Dongyue bandits to murder the emperor, you will die with us tonight!"

"How dare you! The emperor is fine, how could you frame King Yi like this. General Lin, let me tell you again, the emperor is old, and because of the complicated political affairs, he handed over the state affairs to King Yi to manage."

"In addition, the emperor has told me that if you leave now, he will forgive you for what happened. If you still insist on doing wrong, you will all be executed as traitors."

After saying that, Lin Zhengyong pulled the bow and shot an arrow at Su Yi, but it was easily cut off by Su Yi's sword.

With a creaking sound, the door of the Ambergris Palace opened from the inside, and Emperor Gaozong, who had not been seen for more than a month, walked out.

Emperor Gaozong did not look sick at all, and his complexion was even a little rosier than before. He was not sick at all; he was clearly in perfect health.

Seeing Emperor Gaozong, Lin Zhengyong and the officers and soldiers behind him all had expressions of fear on their faces. Some of them even collapsed to the ground with weak legs, and some even wanted to flee towards the palace gate.

But before they could escape two steps, they were shot with an arrow from behind.

Lin Zhengyong put down his bow and shouted to the Lin family soldiers behind him: "Whoever dares to escape will die!"

Emperor Gaozong shouted at Lin Zhengyong, "Lin Zhengyong, are you planning a rebellion?"

At this time, Lin Zhengyong finally realized that he had been completely fooled by this father and son for more than a month. When Xia Miao was hunting, Emperor Gaozong was not injured at all, but pretended to be seriously injured and dying, so that these ambitious people would think that they had an opportunity to rebel.

He was really too careless. He sent people to the palace to spy several times but failed to obtain any information. He gradually lost his patience and fell into the evil scheme of the grandfather and grandson.

Even if he had no intention of usurping the throne, he was now in a high position of power and had a strong military force. How could they not want to kill him?

Things have come to this point. Even if I surrender now, Emperor Gaozong and Su Yi will never let me go. I might as well fight hard. Maybe there is still a chance of winning.

After all, the imperial guards of the entire imperial city only had 3,000 people, while he led 8,000 elite soldiers, and there were 10,000 troops stationed outside the city of Bianliang. No matter what, tonight he could only win and not lose, and he would definitely win, Lin Zhengyong thought to himself.

His eyes were as sharp as a sword, shooting straight at Emperor Gaozong, and he shouted, "Who are you, a scoundrel? How dare you pretend to be the Emperor of Southern Shu!"

Emperor Gaozong sneered: "Lin Zhengyong, you really disappoint me!"

Lin Zhengyong raised his sword-like eyebrows, narrowed his eyes and looked at Emperor Gaozong, and shouted: "All soldiers, listen to my order. We have no way out tonight. Capture them!"

"The Dongyue villains killed the emperor and seized the throne. They pretended to be the emperor and intended to seize our Southern Shu. Whoever can take their heads will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold when the great cause is about to be accomplished! Whoever takes their heads will be rewarded with the rank of General of the Central Army."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhengyong was surrounded by guards with shields. Lin He led the Lin family army to rush to the Dragon's Saliva Palace. The imperial guards blocking the Dragon's Saliva Palace were ready to fight and also rushed forward, engaging in a fierce battle with the Lin army.

The shouts of killing and the clash of weapons resounded throughout the palace.

Whether they were the Imperial Guards or the Lin Family Army, they were all soldiers of Southern Shu. Maybe they were relatives, maybe they were neighbors, or maybe they had joined the army together, fought side by side, and were close comrades-in-arms.

However, at this moment, they stood on opposite sides, one side stood on the high ground of justice, and the other side was forced or voluntarily stood on the side of evil, raising knives against each other, fighting for life and death.

In the fierce battle between the two sides, the Lin family army had a large number of people, and the Imperial Guards gradually couldn't resist. Su Yi and Mu Jin's hearts tightened, and they jumped up and joined the Imperial Guards to fight with the Lin family army.

The shouts and cries of killing were deafening as Mu Jin and Su Yi fought bravely side by side.

However, the number of the Imperial Guards is more than half that of the Lin Family Army, and they usually stay in the safe place of the Imperial Palace. How can they be compared with the Lin Family Army who train hard in the barracks every day?

Some of them were even from wealthy families, who, thanks to the good deeds of their ancestors, entered the imperial city as royal guards and enjoyed generous salaries and prestige.

Mu Jin looked around and saw that the imperial guards beside him had fallen down, and the Lin family soldiers surrounded him vigilantly.

They saw a man in front of them who looked like an immortal, but when he killed people, he was like a Shura, as if he would kill gods and Buddhas if he met one!

The soldiers of Lin's army witnessed him killing people as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, and were afraid that they would be the next to fall, so they hesitated and dared not move forward.

However, they were numerous and slowly surrounded Su Yi and Mu Jin.

Mu Jin and Su Yi leaned against each other back to back. "You won't only prepare these imperial guards in the palace tonight, right? Where are the other reinforcements? When will they arrive?" Mu Jin asked in a cold voice.

Su Yi smiled and said, "If I had told you from the beginning that there would be no reinforcements, would you still have followed me into the palace and wade into this muddy water?"

Mu Jin was angry and said, "Why are you getting involved in this mess? If it is really as you said, I will kill you before I die."

Su Yi smiled with a scoundrel look on his face: "Okay, then we will live together and die together!"

"Bastard!" Mu Jin said, then raised his sword and rushed towards the Lin family army that surrounded him.

Countless Imperial Guards and Lin Family Army soldiers fell before them. The corpses on the ground were scattered all over the place, piled up like a mountain, and there was not even a place to stand.

Blood covered every floor tile in front of the Ambergris Palace like a red carpet.

The Lin family army pressed forward again, and the two men fought a desperate battle. Whoever dared to take a step forward towards the Dragon's Saliva Palace would die!

As Mu Jin kept killing, he couldn't help but become anxious. There were thousands of Lin family soldiers and it was endless. Even if they were to fight in a rotation, they would be exhausted to death here.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and the sound of horse hooves became louder and louder as they got closer.

Mu Jin stared at the direction of the palace gate, feeling delighted, and said to Su Yi, "Is it your reinforcements that are coming?"

Su Yi smiled like a fox and said, "Guess?"

Mu Jin glanced at Su Yi, but she held her breath in her heart and did not dare to relax. While charging towards the Lin family army, she kept her eyes on the direction of the palace gate.

bang——

The palace gate was hit, making a dull sound.

Lin Zhengyong's face lit up with joy, "Quick! My son Jingtian is coming with reinforcements, open the palace gate quickly!"

bang -- bang -- bang --

There were series of banging sounds, and with the last roar, the palace gate opened.
