Chapter 1624 Desperate
The prince's expression was extremely cold at this time. He pressed his hands on the wheelchair handle, but in fact he was already in the organ. The fighting in the hall was fierce and loyal and treacherous was difficult to distinguish. For the prince, at this moment, whoever came towards him would definitely be killed without mercy.
Of course, he also noticed that what happened today was extremely strange.
Not to mention that Feng Yuanpo and Chi Liandian met in public, it was a bit strange. At this time, the two sides were fighting here, but the guards outside the hall were not moving for a long time, which was very strange.
His eyes flashed, but at this moment there was something very clear that Feng Yuanpo must have ulterior motives, otherwise he would not have built such a mechanism in the Heavenly Dao Hall.
The ground of the Heavenly Dao Hall can be turned, and there are assassins ambushing on the top. All this can only show that Feng Yuanpo had planned it.
It should be noted that all the gates of the Heavenly Palace are under the command of the Royal Guards, and ordinary people cannot enter. The officials and gentry who came in today have also undergone strict inspections. Not to mention that these assassins have weapons in their hands, it is not easy to get in even if they want to get in.
But the fact is right in front of me. Not only do dozens of assassins get involved, but they also have weapons in their hands. They have even been ambushed in the Heavenly Dao Hall. The prince naturally wondered how these assassins and weapons entered?
The guards of the Heavenly Palace were handed over to Xuanyuan Shao. Xuanyuan Shao's guards guarded each juncture. According to normal circumstances, the assassin brought weapons into the Heavenly Palace. Without the permission of the Guards, it would be impossible.
But it is hard for the prince to imagine that these assassins would have been deliberately placed in the Heavenly Palace by Xuanyuan Shao.
If Xuanyuan Shao really put these assassins in, then Xuanyuan Shao would certainly know the situation in front of him, that is, Xuanyuan Shao and Feng Yuanpo joined forces to get rid of Chi Lianting.
Xuanyuan Shao is the emperor's confidant general. Since he joined forces with Feng Yuanpo to get rid of Chi Liandian, of course he needs to be instructed by the emperor. Could it be that the emperor set up a trap for the birthday ceremony of heaven and lured Chi Liandian to the Heavenly Palace to kill him?
The prince frowned, but he felt vaguely in his heart that this possibility was not impossible.
Although the prince had never participated in court for many years, he was also one of the founding heroes who followed the emperor to fight south and north, and actually knew the situation of the empire.
Although Chi Liandian has always been very loyal to the emperor, and the emperor has always been tolerant of Chi Liandian, this does not mean that the emperor is unsuspecting to Chi Liandian.
Chi Liandian has a seat in Liaodong, and his 100,000 Liaodong soldiers are all elite soldiers and powerful generals. Anyone who sits on the throne of emperor will be guarded against such a force.
At the beginning, there was a wind and cold smile in the northwest, and Lei Guheng and Yu Buqu in the capital. The four generals are like four pillars of the empire, ensuring the stability of the empire, and at the same time checking and balancing each other.
But now the four generals - Chi Liandian is only one of them, and they have the most powerful officers and soldiers at present, so they naturally posed a fatal threat to the Qin Dynasty, which has already lost half of the country. It is actually not unreasonable that the emperor wanted to attack Chi Liandian.
When the prince thought of this, he felt secretly disheartened, but from the emperor's perspective, it was not a wrong choice. Moreover, the prince knew the emperor's character very well. The emperor was decisive in killing and was always cruel and ruthless in order to ensure his own interests.
If that's all, then this time's birthday ceremony is just a trap to kill Akatsuki.
But the prince also thought that if all this was instructed by the emperor, then the person responsible for this operation was of course Feng Yuanpo. In Hexi, of course, he had to use Feng Yuanpo's power to eradicate Chi Liandian.
He was only worried now that even if the emperor really got rid of Chi Lianyin, he might not be able to rest assured.
Feng Yuanpo was in Hexi, and he was also strong in his army and horses. Moreover, the emperor and his ministers are now in Hexi. Feng Yuanpo has always been most afraid of Chi Lian Electric. Taking this opportunity to get rid of Chi Lian Electric is of course what Feng Yuanpo dreams of.
But once Chi Liandian really dies in the Heavenly Palace, Feng Yuanpo's greatest fear will disappear. Without Chi Liandian, Feng Yuanpo becomes the most terrifying person.
The prince looked cold and couldn't help looking at the emperor. He saw the emperor leaning on the golden chair with no expression on his face, but his eyes were closed, and he couldn't see through what the nine five masters were thinking. Then he looked at the queen beside the emperor, and his eyes turned over. He saw a pair of clear eyes looking at him. The prince couldn't help but shake his body, but the queen turned his eyes away in an instant.
At this moment, the prince felt his shoulders tightening, turned his head slightly, and looked up. He saw Liuli standing beside him with a pale face. A jade hand was placed on his shoulder. His charming eyes were a hint of horror. He knew that the palace was so cruel, Liuli must be afraid. He raised his hand to hold Liuli's hand on his shoulders and whispered: "Don't be afraid..."
Liuli lowered her head, saw the prince looking at her, forced a smile, and said softly: "Your Highness, what's wrong with this...will you...be in danger?"
The prince shook his head and smiled faintly: "The soldiers are coming to block it, I want to see who dares to touch me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the light at the corner of his eyes darkened suddenly. He knew something had happened in his heart, but at this moment he heard the continuous "ding ding" sound. Looking sideways, he saw that the left side of the hall suddenly became dark.
The main hall of the Heavenly Dao Hall is very spacious. In addition, there are two halls on the left and right, forming a magnificent palace. The Taoists of the Changsheng Dao put nearly a hundred palace lanterns of various sizes in the hall, making the hall as bright as daytime. At this moment, the hall is on the left, but the palace lanterns are continuously extinguished, making the light dim all of a sudden.
Then someone heard someone sternly saying, "Catch the rebel Chi Lianyin, don't let him run away!"
When the prince looked up, he found that more than a dozen ropes were soft and hanging, still shaking, but there was no trace of people on the ropes. No one was seen at all, especially Chi Liandian, who were missing.
Chu Huan could see clearly that Chi Liandian fought with the killer in the air, gaining the upper hand, killing several people in succession, and then the rope swung with a huge amplitude, swinging to the left. Chu Huan clearly saw that when the rope swung to the left, Chi Liandian actually took advantage of the power of swaying, and had already escaped from his hands and shot towards the left hall like a shell.
Then, the sound of "dingding" sounded, and the palace lanterns were continuously destroyed. Chu Huan knew that it must have been Chi Lianting's attack.
There is no doubt that Chi Liandian obviously knew that things were not good. This was Feng Yuanpo's territory. Chi Liandian could not know how many killers Feng Yuanpo had arranged here. Killers could not kill them. Chi Liandian was a god who came down to earth and could not resist the continuous assassins. Moreover, there were obviously mechanisms in the Heavenly Dao Hall. If you were not careful, you might be able to get the mechanism's Taoist.
Chi Liandian obviously wanted to avoid the edge.
At this moment, there were only five left in the main hall of the eighteen cavalry in Liaodong. As for the killer in Hexi, there were only five or six people left. The hall looked messy. Some corpses fell into the hole, and many were hanging on the edge of the hole. In the originally beautiful and clear pool, several corpses had floated on it. The originally clear water of the pool had turned red.
Several Liaodong cavalry gathered back to back at this time. They had already seized weapons from their hands at this moment. Everyone's face was stained with blood and looked extremely ferocious.
Seeing that Chi Liandian had no trace of traces, the Liaodong cavalry looked at each other, and their eyes were scanning the hall, as if they were still looking for Feng Yuanpo's traces.
Chi Liandian used the rope to open from the main hall, and used the crossbow in his hand to destroy several palace lanterns in succession. It became dim all over. He was like a ghost, and flashed through a large stone screen made of jade, and flashed to the back. Behind was a long corridor leading directly to the left hall of the Heavenly Dao Hall. He was flying under his feet, throwing away the crossbow in his hand that had no crossbow arrows, but holding a knife in his hand and quickly heading towards the dim left hall.
Behind him, five or six assassins who fell from the rope still followed.
In the left hall, there was no lights. The Heavenly Dao Hall was the main hall of the Heavenly Palace, and its scale was naturally extraordinary. Even the left hall was extremely vast. Looking around, the palace was very empty.
When the emperor visited the north, all the officials brought by the emperor lived in other halls, and the guards were stationed outside the Heavenly Palace. The palace servants who accompanied him were mainly in the Immortal Palace, which was not as good as the capital. There were tens of thousands of eunuchs and maids in the palace. There were not many palace servants and eunuchs who served the Northern Palace this time. Usually, there were no people on duty in the Heavenly Dao Hall, not to mention that this side hall seemed extremely deserted.
Chi Liandian heard footsteps following him. He looked around and saw a jade ceiling at the edge of the palace. It was decorated with dragon and phoenix sculptures around it, protruding outwards. There was a gap between the ceiling and the top. Chi Liandian unfolded, first jumped onto a copper crane and drifted onto a jade pillar with the force. If it was an ordinary jade pillar, it was smooth and moist, it was really impossible to climb. Fortunately, the pillars of this palace were very particular, with dragon-shaped carvings rolled on the pillar. Chi Liandian's body was flexible and climbed up, then he used force to float up like an eagle. He reached out and grabbed the edge of the ceiling. With his arm, he blew into the gap of the ceiling. At this time, in the hall, even if he looked up, he could not see where Chi Liandian was.
Chi Liandian hid in it, but his face was extremely ugly, his eyes were extremely cold, and he looked down from a high point through the extremely small hole in the ceiling pattern. In the darkness, he only vaguely saw a few figures searching in the hall. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. After a moment, the figures disappeared and found other places.
Chi Liandian took a deep breath, his eyes became cold and frowned, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, in the silence, he heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from below. Looking down through the gaps in the decorative pattern, he saw a Taoist priest in blue carrying a lantern passing by himself.
