Spring Drunk Chang'an

Xiong Zhen was really fierce. He was nine feet tall, with a broad back and strong arms, and he was extremely strong. He wielded a pair of huge copper hammers with great force.

Xiao Chuo looked at him and thought, his martial arts skills are not bad, but compared with Xiong Zhen, he is just a "little brother"...

After all, he and Huo Jing fought back and forth for dozens of rounds before he stabbed the other man. Xiong Zhen, on the other hand, rode his horse into the hall and rushed to the upper part. He beat Huo Jing to death with two sledgehammers.

It was truly a case of 'no time to speak, no time to act', Huo Jing died without even putting up a single resistance.

This shows how powerful Xiong Zhen is.

He had a stern face, looking dignified and ferocious, but in reality, he was hiding his inner nervousness...

He, he was just an 'ordinary' guard. In the hall, all the civil and military officials were watching him, and in front of him were the emperor and the empress...

Really, so scary!

Was he too rough when he just killed someone? Ahhhhhh, that blood splattered all over His Majesty's face. Will His Majesty punish him?!

Xiong Zhen screamed inwardly, but remained expressionless. He carefully helped Emperor Yingwu to his feet, supported his arm, and pressed him into the dragon throne, saying, "Your Majesty, I am sorry to be late in rescuing you. Is Your Majesty in good health?"

"I, I'm fine!"

Emperor Yingwu, an emperor over fifty years old, was held under the armpits by a bear-like man and carried to the dragon throne like a child. Besides feeling ashamed and angry, he actually felt a sense of security.

After all, Xiong Zhen was really strong, and at first glance, one could tell he had extraordinary martial arts skills.

The kind that is really believable!

"I don't know love. Who are you, my dear? Where do you come from?"

How could he not remember what a powerful figure there was in his palace?

Emperor Yingwu was very confused.

"Your Majesty, I am Xiong Zhen, a retainer of the Crown Prince!" Xiong Zhen bowed his head and replied in a muffled voice, his attitude extremely respectful. Then...

He casually knocked to death a Jinyiwei who came to attack him.

Emperor Yingwu:...

When the old monarch who had been the emperor for many years heard the words "Crown Prince's household guards", ten thousand thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally converged into four words: "Luring the enemy into a trap"!

Almost in the blink of an eye, he understood that his Aqu had fallen into the 'trap' set by the Crown Prince and Queen Song. Those two, and even the Duke Cheng'en's Mansion, must have known Aqu's plan long ago, and they wanted to catch him in the act and kill him. Otherwise, how could it be possible that no one among the civil and military officials in the hall was injured when Huo Jing rebelled like this, rushed into the palace, and beat and killed people?

To be honest, the little eunuch's assassination was so unexpected from that angle that if the prince had not known about it in advance, he would not have been able to avoid it!

Emperor Yingwu felt angry, guilty, deeply sad, and vaguely relieved. He turned around and wanted to say something to the crown prince, but Xiao Chuo turned her face away and walked a few steps to Queen Song and Liu Chang'an.

"Are you scared?"

He asked Liu Changan softly.

Liu Changan shook his head and tilted his head, "What am I afraid of? From the beginning to the end, no one came to assassinate me?"

"So many Jinyiwei rushed over, even the emperor had people 'looking after' him, but they didn't even glance at me and my mother!"

"What do I have to fear?"

"I'm glad you're not afraid!" Xiao Chuo listened, smiled slightly, and reached out to stroke her hair soothingly. Then, she turned to look at Queen Song, "Is everything okay, mother?"

"Nothing happened. I didn't expect that Aqu didn't order me to be killed. It was really beyond my expectation!" Queen Song spread her hands, her tone actually containing a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chuo pursed her lips slightly.

Standing aside, watching the interactions between the mother and son, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Emperor Yingwu felt extremely uncomfortable. He clenched his palms, wanting to say something, but felt that no matter what he said, it would be useless.

What he should be thinking about right now is probably how to save Aqu and Xun'er's lives!

Rebellion, assassination of the crown prince in the hall, caught red-handed, Aqu really, really did not care about anything.

She hid it so well that even her husband, him, was completely unaware of it, and Xun'er...

Emperor Yingwu turned his gaze to Xiao Xun.

"Father, Father Emperor!!"

Xiao Xun sat on the ground in panic. Just now, when Xiong Zhen killed someone, he was right next to him. The corpse of the Jinyiwei, whose head was chopped off two meters in the air, fell straight on him, smearing him with blood. He was so scared that he trembled all over and fell to the ground. Moreover, since his "vital point" was lost, his physical strength and strength seemed to have decreased a lot. Fearful and confused, he pushed the corpse several times, but it didn't move...

The headless house still weighed on him.

"Save me, Father, save me!"

Xiao Xun reached out to Emperor Yingwu for help.

Emperor Yingwu:...

Well, it seems that Aqu, who didn’t even tell his son, is really taking a gamble. The winner lives, and the loser dies!

He was in an extremely complicated mood, but his body couldn't help but walk slowly towards Xiao Xun. He pushed the corpse on him away with difficulty and pulled his son up!

Among the guests, Queen Song saw this scene and said nothing, but her eyes became colder.

Xiao Chuo also saw it, but pretended not to see it. He protected his mother and the little girl. He said one word to Xiong Zhen calmly, "Kill!"

"Yes!"

Xiong Zhen clasped his fists in acceptance, then turned and shouted, "You traitors, give me your lives!"

"Today is the day you die!"

He skipped the stage of "persuading surrender" and held two sledgehammers horizontally, swinging them at the Jinyiwei.

His sledgehammer was still stained with Huo Jing's blood, as well as the brain matter left over from when he had just smashed the man's head flat...

The bloody smell and white liquid were directly thrown onto the dragon throne. Xiong Zhen was like a tiger among a flock of sheep. The guards he led in were also full of fighting spirit, but the Jinyiwei were in great chaos.

Although they rebelled with the mentality of "if they fail, they will die", however, when they saw that the situation was looking good, a "Taisui" suddenly appeared and led his team to kill their boss. The people led by "Taisui" were like wolves and tigers, and each of them had extraordinary martial arts skills and were full of murderous intent!

He was already unable to win, and now he has no momentum at all.

"Go ahead!! If you kill the prince, I will have many followers and make you a duke, a noble, or even a king!!"

Concubine Qu stood behind the group, shouting fiercely. Her eyes were bloodshot, her expression was ferocious and twisted, and there was a hint of despair in her pupils. Seeing Xiong Xiang's arrival and the Crown Prince's calm attitude, she probably realized that it would be difficult to accomplish anything big, but!!!

She is not reconciled!

She will never be willing to give up!

"Kill, kill the Queen, kill the Crown Princess, kill everyone in Duke Cheng'en's mansion. If I kill one of them, I'll make him king..."
