Chapter 174 Bloody Battle of the Palace (Part 2)
After rushing into the imperial guards, Ling Muyun was not busy attacking the imperial guards around him. He jumped through the gap between the imperial guards and rushed to the retreating archers. Although he was not too difficult to rely on the human shield, he rushed to the front with the rain of arrows, but he could not guarantee that he would have such good luck every time. It would be better to clear such a huge threat like this.
Although the archers are powerful in the distance attack, when it comes to close combat, they are scumbags. Seeing Ling Muyun, the fierce god, pounced over, the archers were also a little panicked, and they threw down the long bow in their hands and pulled out the sword from their waists to resist. In fact, everyone in the march had considered that the archers would fall into a passive problem once they were bullied by the enemy in actual combat. Therefore, each archer was equipped with a double bow and knife, and shot with a long range. Once the enemy rushed to the front, they would use a waist knife to fight the enemy to increase the archer's battlefield survival ability.
But even so, it cannot be concealed that the archers in these imperial guards were selected as imperial guards because of their excellent archery skills. Putting aside archery skills, most of these archers are not as good as ordinary imperial guards in terms of personal force. Moreover, because the training they receive is used for archery shooting, they rarely train melee combat, so when facing melee combat, they are far less well-trained than other imperial guards, and only know how to fight alone. But in this way, how could they be Ling Muyun's opponents?
Ling Muyun rushed into the archers' ranks as if a tiger had entered a flock of sheep. These archers who temporarily played the role of the growth sword warrior were a joke in his eyes. The long sword was swung out, and the sword light was like a waterfall, and the sharp sword energy swept away. At this time, the long sword in Ling Muyun's hand seemed to turn into the sickle of the god of death. Every sword light flashed by, an imperial guard archer would scream and turn into a dead corpse. Although these archers fought desperately, they were as fragile as if they were to be slaughtered under Ling Muyun's hands. No matter how hard they struggled, they could not get rid of the arrival of death.
The other imperial guards naturally could not see Ling Muyun killing their companions, and rushed towards Ling Muyun, wanting their companions to rescue their lives from the men of Ling Muyun, the fierce god.
But things were not as simple as they thought. Because the archers were killed by Ling Muyun, the archers were in chaos. Under the impact of the panicked archers, even the imperial guards who had newly joined the battle circle could not maintain their original solemn formation and could only choose to fight on their own. The team cooperation ability that Ling Muyun feared the most could not be exerted. Ling Muyun immediately showed his power and wandered through the crowd like a dragon. The long sword drew out a series of cold sword lights, harvesting fresh lives.
However, there are too many guards in the imperial guards. It is not so easy for hundreds of elite soldiers to kill them even with Ling Muyun's martial arts. What's more, his situation is not good at this time. The fierce battles have consumed a lot of his internal strength, and the injuries on his body are getting heavier, and his originally agile and quick figure is gradually slowing down.
At this moment, a sharp sword wind suddenly slashed towards Ling Muyun's back. Ling Muyun's heart was terrified, and he turned his figure and saw that the person attacking behind him was the leader of the imperial guards. He couldn't tell that this man not only had a firm command, but also had no bad martial arts skills. Although he was a little worse than the dead Ruidong and Duolong, he was better than the previous Duolong led him, and finally died under his sword.
A cold light flashed in Ling Muyun's eyes, and his body turned and a sword light stabbed towards the leader of the imperial guard. The so-called snakes do not leave without heads, birds do not fly without heads. As long as the leader of the imperial guards can be killed, the team of imperial guards will lose their backbone and commander, and it will be much easier to deal with them.
"Don't hurt my general!" Suddenly, two imperial guards stopped in front of the imperial guard leader and blocked Ling Muyun's way.
"Those who block me will die!" Ling Muyun's eyes slashed, and the sword shook and instantly divided into two sword lights, piercing into the throats of the two people blocking the road like lightning, lifting them away. With Ling Muyun's martial arts, there was no possibility of blocking Ling Muyun at all.
Unexpectedly, Ling Muyun had just attacked the two imperial guards, and he felt a sharp sword wind blowing in his face. However, the imperial guard leader took advantage of Ling Muyun's two-person moves to attack him. Ling Muyun's eyes narrowed, and his body slightly avoided the edge. The long sword in his hand drew a dazzling sword light and stabbed towards the imperial guard leader.
The two figures instantly crossed the army formation. The leader of the imperial guards' throat was cut open, blood shot out, and his body rushed for a few steps and fell to the ground with a "thump". Ling Muyun's chest was also cut with a wound of more than an inch deep, and blood flowed out, almost being cut open.
Ling Muyun felt the scorching pain in his chest, and a bitter taste in his mouth. If it were on weekdays, he would use the martial arts of the leader of the imperial guards. He wanted to kill him, just like taking objects in a bag, but now he could only exchange his life for injuries. It can be seen that he had weakened to a certain extent at this time. His sword technique is still sharp, but the power attached to the sword is getting smaller and smaller, just because the true energy in his body is almost exhausted, and his body technique inevitably becomes stagnant.
Seeing that the archers had been almost killed, the remaining imperial guards became panicked because of the death of the leader. Ling Muyun's heart moved and rushed out suddenly, and determined the direction and flew away. The imperial guards wanted to chase him, but they could not keep up with Ling Muyun's speed at all. The remaining archers hurriedly picked up the bows and arrows to shoot, but only a few sparse arrows were easily allowed by Ling Muyun. When they wanted to continue shooting, they found that Ling Muyun had escaped from the range and could not shoot even if they wanted to.
...
After getting rid of the pair of imperial guards, Ling Muyun encountered several waves of imperial guards and imperial guards. The number was too small, and the number was too small. The number of the more imperial guards was nearly a hundred, and the number of the few waves of imperial guards was only a few. After rushing through several waves of imperial guards, Ling Muyun really killed the encirclement and jumped out of the encirclement. Although it was still early to escape from the danger, at least he broke free from the net set by the enemy, and the danger was much smaller.
However, Ling Muyun's condition was also very bad at this time. The true energy in his body was exhausted, and more than ten wounds were wounded, including knife wounds, gunshot wounds, and arrow wounds. His clothes were dyed blood, including his own blood, but more were the blood of the imperial guards in the palace. What's more serious was that he suffered serious internal injuries and had an urge to vomit blood while running.
Ling Muyun knew that he had to find a safe place to rest and heal, otherwise he would never be able to kill the palace in his current state. If he was unlucky and was hit by the imperial guards of the brigade, he might be really trapped here.
But where can I find this safe place? Originally, the Cining Palace where Mao Dongzhu stayed should be the first choice. After all, Mao Dongzhu was the empress dowager and had a noble status. He was second only to the empress dowager Xiaozhuang in this harem. With her protection, he would definitely be safe, because unless there is sufficient evidence, even the empress dowager Xiaozhuang and the young emperor Kangxi, who were the empress dowager, would not dare to search for people in the empress dowager Mao Dongzhu.
Unfortunately, because Ling Muyun and Duolong and others had just come out of the Cining Palace when they encountered each other and were not far from the Cining Palace, the imperial guards set up an encirclement to surround him and included the Cining Palace within the scope of the encirclement. In other words, if he wanted to take refuge in the Cining Palace, the first thing he had to do was turn around and rush into the encirclement again. Then wouldn’t the hard work he had done before become useless?
Moreover, when the assassin was in trouble in the palace, the first thing the imperial guards had to ensure was the safety of the royal members, and the second was to round up and capture the assassin. Therefore, at this time, the guards outside the Cining Palace must have been filled. Even if he could return to the Cining Palace, it would be difficult for him to sneak in in full view of the public. Could it be that he could still ask someone to send a message to Mao Dongzhu and ask her to come out and pick him up in person?
The Cining Palace could not be gone, and other places arrested him as an assassin, so they could not go. Just as Ling Muyun was thinking about the place to go but it was unavailable, he glanced at a small eunuch walking by in the distance. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he thought of a good place to go, which was Shangshenjian where Wei Xiaobao was.
If we say that the only one who can provide protection for Ling Muyun in the palace is Wei Xiaobao, except for the Qing royal concubines in the palace. First of all, there is no need to think about the royal concubines. Except for Mao Dongzhu, the fake empress dowager, the other Qing royal families must have killed him assassin quickly. It is a fantasy to get their protection. So Ling Muyun had to go to Wei Xiaobao.
With Wei Xiaobao's favor now in front of Kangxi, even the chief supervisor of the imperial palace is a bit inferior. Who among the guards in the palace should respect him three points? With his power and status, there is no problem to ensure Ling Muyun's safety for the time being. As for whether Wei Xiaobao is willing to protect him, Ling Muyun is not worried at all. Not to mention that he and Wei Xiaobao are still a little in love, even if Wei Xiaobao ignores his old friendship, he is very sure that Wei Xiaobao has to help.
At this time, Wei Xiaobao had not revealed his true identity to Kangxi, and was still hanging out in the palace under the name of Xiao Guizi. This was the crime of deceiving the king and was a crime of losing his head. Although with the relationship between Kangxi and Wei Xiaobao, even if Ling Muyun exposed the matter, Kangxi would not be likely to punish Wei Xiaobao, but Wei Xiaobao would never dare to take this risk.
Moreover, even if Wei Xiaobao is not subject to such coercion, with Ling Muyun's martial arts, it would be easy to deal with Wei Xiaobao? At that time, whether it is leaving hidden power in his body or forcing him to take poison, he will always be obedient. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!)
