Chapter 417: Praying Mantis Cicada
??Chapter 417 Praying Mantis Catch Cicada
?? Commander Jia was forced to take a step back, secretly thinking that the old emperor's sword is still young, and he felt a subtle sense of admiration in his heart. He said coldly: "Your Majesty, the general doesn't want to be rude. But if Your Majesty..."
??Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden rush outside.
??A soldier ran in in a panic and reported: "General, the fourth prince led the troops to rush in!"
??Gu Changze looked happy, grabbed the old emperor's hand and said: "Your Majesty, the fourth prince is here! We are saved!"
??Huo Yuan frowned slightly, thinking that his fourth younger brother came too slowly, did he want to wait for the rebels to kill his father before entering the palace to seize the throne?
??He was thinking of this, when suddenly there was a "swoosh" sound through the air.
??A sharp arrow pierced through the vermilion window and shot in, sticking straight on the table in front of the old emperor.
"ah!"
??Gu Changze screamed in fright, and bounced back reflexively. Fortunately, he was supported by the old emperor so that he didn't hit something.
??The old emperor's face was terribly cold.
??Who doesn't know that he is in the temple at this time?
?? Commander Jia is also in the hall, and the fifth child is also in the hall. Naturally, it is impossible for their people to shoot arrows in.
??The person who shot the arrow must be the fourth child!
??The fourth child is trying to kill him!
??The old emperor was furious, and yelled angrily after taking several cases: "Niezi!"
??He was so out of breath that he spit out a mouthful of blood as soon as he finished speaking.
??Gu Changze turned pale in shock, quickly supported him, and exclaimed, "Your Majesty!"
??Huo Yuan couldn't continue pretending to be unconscious, he supported the bed board and gritted his teeth enduring the pain and got up.
??A few days ago, the imperial army suddenly rebelled, and he hurriedly organized the hundred or so guards of Bailian Palace to deal with it, and he suffered quite a lot of injuries.
?? But now Huo Yuan doesn't care so much anymore, if he doesn't wake up at this juncture, he might really die in this White Lotus Palace.
?? Gu Changze was confused, seeing Huo Yuan woke up, he was like seeing a Bodhisattva who saved the world, and said in panic and surprise: "Third Highness! Come and see Your Majesty!"
??Huo Yuan walked over with strong injuries all over his body. Now he really wanted to scold that little clever Qi Kill—if Qi Kill hadn’t seriously injured him in advance, he wouldn’t have been so passive in responding to the imperial army’s rebellion. Now that even the fourth prince has come into the palace, I really don't know where the rescuers of this rotten man Qisha are.
??The other end.
??Qi Sha stood under the scorching sun, looked back at the majestic man sitting on the horse behind him, thought and thought, and still couldn't help asking: "Master, are we still going to the palace?"
??The man on the horse is none other than Prime Minister Pei Shu.
??He is now wearing a battle armor, and when he goes there, he will have a terrifying killing spirit.
??He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the palace not far away. From such a long distance, he seemed to be able to hear the sound of fighting faintly.
??Pei Shu looked majestic, calmly said: "There is no rush."
??Qi Sha pursed his lips, and boldly said: "Your Majesty and the Third Prince are still in the palace, if we are one step late, the consequences will be disastrous."
??Pei Shu glanced at the boy who was guarding his horse, and the old **** said: "Didn't the fourth prince rush into the palace just now, what are you worried about?"
Seven kills didn't dare to say it at first, but the master guided him like this, and he became more courageous, and said honestly: "The timing of the fourth prince's entry into the palace is not right. He had already escaped from the siege of the fifth prince. He already knew about the situation in the palace, but he has been slow to lead his troops to save him. From my point of view, he wants to..."
??The latter words were too rebellious, Qi Sha just fell silent.
??Pei Shu took up the conversation indifferently and said, "You think he wants to wait until the rebels kill His Majesty before entering the palace to reap the benefits."
??Qi Shaxin said that his master was too crazy. He dared to say such things in the open. How could the royal family tolerate the Pei family?
??He looked back at the dark-eyed soldiers, and felt that it was not the time to persuade the lord when there were too many people.
?? Seeing him suddenly looking left and right, Pei Shu smiled and said, "What are you looking at?"
??Qi Kill had a sense of embarrassment of being seen through, and changed the subject slightly blushing: "Master, the fourth prince has ulterior motives. If we don't rescue him as soon as possible, I'm afraid the third prince will have trouble with His Majesty."
??Pei Shu glanced at Qi Sha with a little disgust, and teased with ambiguous meaning: "Aren't you the guard of Sanskrit, why are you so concerned about the third prince?"
Qi Sha heard the master's dissatisfaction, and quickly expressed his loyalty and argued: "Master, the third master ordered me to **** the third highness to Beijing this time, so I must protect the third highness. Otherwise, I will have no face to see the third master." .”
??Pei Shu snorted coldly, and said leisurely and authentically: "If we want to protect the third prince, then we have to go slowly."
?? Qisha was confused.
??Pei Shu is not a person who likes to explain, but he thinks that the young man's mind is spinning quickly, and he is more than happy to point out Qi Sha: "We must give the fourth prince a chance to show."
??Seven kills Mao Sai suddenly.
??If the fourth prince was not allowed to go ahead and kill him, how could the old emperor see the wolfish ambition of the fourth prince so straightforwardly?
??However, such behavior is too dangerous.
??If the fourth prince really killed the old emperor in the midst of the chaos—even the third prince, how would the matter end?
Qi Sha couldn't help but look back at the five thousand well-trained soldiers behind him, and suddenly had an extremely horrifying thought in his heart - if the fourth prince succeeded, would the Pei family immediately lead the army into the palace "King Qin", In the name of avenging the old emperor, he directly killed the fourth prince.
?? In this way, the most competitive prince is gone, and the Pei family can just support a wimpy royal family as a puppet.
?? Qisha's heart beat faster.
??He suddenly felt that he didn't need to persuade the master to be more careful in his words. The ambition of the Pei family seemed to be on the bright side.
??A few steps away, Pei Xuanting, who was riding on a tall horse, turned his head and whispered to the elder brother beside him: "Look at Dad's kind appearance, does this mean that Qi Sha is really regarded as a son-in-law?"
?? "Impossible." Pei Xuanzong retorted without thinking.
"Why is it impossible?" Pei Xuanting whispered, "When did our daddy support people like this? Seven kills are qualified to lead a horse for daddy. Today we will make meritorious service as soon as we enter the palace. Dad wants to help Qi Kill is showing his face in front of His Majesty."
??Pei Xuanzong glanced at his younger brother, as if he was looking at the idiot son of the landlord's family. He slowly asked: "How long can the seven kills live?"
??Pei Xuanting was slightly taken aback, and then suddenly realized.
??That’s right, as a dead man, Seven Kills doesn’t live long, so how could Father regard Seven Kills as his son-in-law?
??Right now, Dad clearly values ??Qisha's ability, and wants to cultivate Qisha into a knife in Sanskrit's hands.
??Pei Xuanting couldn't help being a little bit disappointed, and said with emotion: "It's a pity..." Such a talent, but such a short life.
??Pei Xuanzong also felt a little sorry, and sighed: "Poor..."
