Chapter 791 Retire

  The son of King Su?

   This news was thrown into the crowd like thunder.

  The noble and noble ministers looked at Jiang Yuanchao with horror on their faces.

   Under the lights, the young man in red clothes stood tall and tall, and there was still a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze, but that smile made people look terrified.

"They are all descendants of Gaozu. Back then, Gaozu was going to pass the throne to my father, but it was Empress Yang and Emperor Mingkang who used the means to take away the throne. Now that I have taken the throne back, how can Xu Shoufu say that I am a rebel? "

   "Bah, I'm obviously a thief of chaotic ministers, and the remnants of the king, and now I have to pretend to be orthodox. It's extremely shameless! As long as there are people like us, you can't even think about stealing the country!" Xu Shoufu said angrily.

  Jiang Yuanchao curved his lips and smiled: "If that's the case, then kill them all."

   When the words fell, he quickly bent the bow and pulled the strings, and a sharp arrow flew towards Xu Shoufu's face.

   "Shoufu be careful—" all the nobles and ministers shouted in fright.

With a bang, the sharp arrow flew out diagonally and sank into the tree trunk not far away.

   Shao Mingyuan withdrew his hand and smiled at Jiang Yuanchao: "What kind of play is this commander Jiang playing?"

   His eyes swept across the face of Qiao Zhao next to Shao Mingyuan, Jiang Yuanchao smiled calmly: "I am surprised that Lord Hou can wait until this time to take action."

   Xu Shoufu looked at Shao Mingyuan with gratitude.

   If there was no champion Hou who missed that arrow, he has now become a corpse.

   "I am also surprised that Commander Jiang can endure until today to reveal his identity."

  Jiang Yuanchao laughed: "I can't bear it until today, how can I have such a good situation?"

   As soon as these words came out, the hearts of all those present sank.

If Jiang Yuanchao is really the son of King Su, then he has a good plan. First, he caused the two princes to fight fiercely, and then he killed Yulinwei in the name of exterminating the rebellious party. Now Yulinwei has lost all casualties, and there are not many internal troops left. Jin Wu Wei's vitality was seriously injured, and Jinlinwei split into two factions after the downsizing...

   At this time, the Su Wang Yu Party, dressed as villagers in the mountains, launched an attack. It can be said that they have taken advantage of the right time, place and people. I am afraid that the world will change hands.

"You lied!" Prince Rui stopped, hid behind Wang Haitao, the commander of Jinwuwei, and shouted loudly, "In those days when King Su was defeated and executed, no son or half of his daughters survived, and all of them were beheaded. Now you He kept saying that he was the son of King Su, but he was just looking for a name to rebel!"

  Jiang Yuanchao laughed: "Don't worry, my lord, when you become a prisoner, I will naturally prove my identity to the world!"

   When you came and I talked, the fighting did not stop, and an arrow from nowhere flew towards Jin Wuwei's commander Wang Haitao.

  Wang Haitao pulled Prince Rui to escape, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

   It can't go on like this, the sword has no eyes, once the prince has an accident, it will be over.

  Wang Haitao suddenly saw Shao Mingyuan when he was extremely anxious, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Master Hou, your martial arts are unparalleled, the safety of the king is handed over to you, I will lead Jin Wuwei to block those chaotic ministers and thieves!"

   Shao Mingyuan protected Qiao Zhao and instructed the guards: "Escort the prince over here."

   "Yes." Several personal guards passed through the hail of arrows, covering Prince Rui and fleeing here.

   Prince Rui's face was already pale, and when he came to Shao Mingyuan's side, if he encountered a life-saving straw, he tightly grabbed his sleeve: "Master Hou, what should I do now?"

   Shao Mingyuan pulled out his sleeves and comforted calmly, "Your Highness, don't be impatient, I will protect you and go back to your residence first."

  The residence of Emperor Kangdi of Ming Dynasty has been breached, it is extremely dangerous to stay here, and the residences of King Rui and King Mu in the entire palace are second only to this place, and retreating there can at least resist for a while.

   "Okay, okay, Xiao Wang will listen to the Hou Ye." Prince Rui nodded again and again, but he had no idea at all.

  Prince Rui's performance fell into the eyes of some ministers, who couldn't help sighing secretly.

  Your Highness, you really don't look like a king of a country.

   That's all, I don't know if I can save my life at this time, I don't have time to think about it.

  Wang Haitao, the commander of Jinwuwei, led the guards to resist, and the honorable ministers saw that the champion Hou led his personal guards to protect Prince Rui back, and hurriedly followed.

  A lot of stray arrows flew through the gaps. During the retreat, some people were hit by arrows from time to time, and then screamed and fell to the ground. The people behind ran past the fallen person, and even stepped on the person accidentally.

  These once-gold and noble people are now no different from refugees, showing embarrassment in the face of life and death.

   As the gate of Prince Rui's courtyard was closed, the people who followed him sighed in relief, but when they heard the sound of fighting getting closer, a heart sank again.

  King Rui, like King Mu, did not bring soldiers with him when he traveled with Emperor Kang of the Ming Dynasty, and even the people who served were streamlined.

   And although the champion Hou is famous for his martial arts and world-renowned, he brought only a dozen or so guards this time.

   How could these dozen or so people alone be able to resist the rebellious Jinlin Guards and the rebels?

   "There are thousands of people in those chaotic parties, right?" A minister asked anxiously.

   "More than that, I looked at the blackness covering the mountains and plains, maybe there are tens of thousands of people!" The person next to him said with a look of horror.

   Prince Rui heard that his legs and feet became weak, and he wiped his sweat and asked Shao Mingyuan: "Master Hou, what should I do, your people—"

   Having said that, Prince Rui swallowed the following words.

  The fact that he privately asked the champion Hou to move and rescue the soldiers could not be said under such circumstances.

   "My lord, let's go into the house, the minister will let the guards keep an eye on the situation outside, and will report in time if there is any situation."

   "Okay, Lord Hou, let's go in with this prince." At this time, Prince Rui felt that he was not at ease with anyone, and only followed the champion Hou to be more at ease.

  What should I do, I want to grab the sleeves of the champion Hou again.

   Shao Mingyuan nodded, invited Shao Zhi to explain, and led Qiao Zhao into the house.

   "Master Hou, let Mrs. Hou speak to her sister." Prince Rui suggested that Qiao Zhao was not leaving Shao Mingyuan.

   Shao Mingyuan glanced at Qiao Zhao: "No need, now it's so chaotic outside, it's better for my wife to stay with me."

"Uh, what Lord Hou said is also." Prince Rui hurriedly changed the subject, "I didn't expect Jiang Yuanchao to be the remnant of King Su, our people were greatly damaged after two days of fighting, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist for a long time, those people will soon be killed. Here it is. Lord Hou, when will the soldiers from Shanhaiguan arrive?"

   "We have told them to come at the fastest speed, but since there is no tiger talisman, the secret letter is the private seal of the prince and the minister, I am afraid it will take a little time-"

  Prince Rui couldn't help pulling his hair: "Master Hou has brought them for so many years, and he doesn't even recognize them?"

   Shao Mingyuan smiled: "This still has the private seal of the prince. If it is only the private seal of the minister, I am afraid that a soldier or half a soldier will not be transferred."
