Chapter 1787 Something big is going to happen

When the guards sent by the princes were under the fierce attack of the guards of the Eighth Prince, they realized:

They were fooled!

This Wen Huan and others obviously used them as bait to attract the attention of the guards of the Eighth Prince.

However, at this time, they reacted, but it was too late.

The guards of the Eighth Prince would not take the time to identify the identities of these people in front of them. In their eyes, these people in front of them have only one common identity: assassins who attacked the Eighth Prince Zhao Su!

Their duty is to protect the Eighth Prince. Now that the Eighth Prince is in trouble, each of them has a responsibility. At this time, they naturally have to do something to make up for their mistakes, such as killing or capturing these assassins in front of them!

Therefore, when facing the guards sent by other princes, the guards of the Eighth Prince Zhao Su did not show any mercy. They killed if they could and injured if they could, without any ambiguity.

The guards sent by the other princes complained bitterly. Under the current circumstances, they could not reveal their identities. Once their identities were exposed, they knew what the consequences would be. However, they were fooled by Wen Huan again. They thought that Wen Huan wanted to use them as a cover, so they subconsciously wanted to leave first. However, they never thought that Wen Huan and others would step back at this time, and directly let them stand in the front and bear the fiercest anger of the guards of the eighth prince Zhao Su.

At present, they can only fight desperately. As for other things, they have no time to consider.

While dealing with the guards of the eighth prince Zhao Su, Wen Huan glanced at the guards sent by other princes, and a sneer flashed in the corner of his eyes. Then, he winked at his own people, and those people understood and almost simultaneously attacked and forced the opponent to retreat, and then followed Wen Huan to evacuate from the passage that had been prepared beside.

The guards sent by other princes saw this scene and naturally wanted to follow them. However, they were at the forefront and were the most fiercely fighting group. It was not easy to get rid of the guards of the eighth prince Zhao Su at this moment, so they could only watch Wen Huan and others leave.

After Wen Huan and others left, Zhao Su's guards would naturally not let the guards sent by other princes leave. If these assassins left, how would they explain to the eighth prince and the old emperor?

Therefore, the offensive of these people did not weaken, but became more fierce.

The battle on Fuyuan Tower became more and more intense, and the battle here also attracted the attention of the defenders in the city. Soon, a large number of defenders in the city came, and all this had nothing to do with Wen Huan and others. They had evacuated Fuyuan Tower through the passage prepared in advance.

"I surrender!"

"I surrender too!"

......

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the guards sent by other princes who stayed in Fuyuan Tower surrendered one after another. They still did not take the initiative to reveal their identities. They were still looking forward to their masters coming to save them.

With the surrender of these people, the battle in Fuyuan Tower was completely over. The scene was in a mess, with corpses everywhere. There were corpses of the Eighth Prince and his guards, as well as those of other princes, and of course, there were also those of Wen Huan.

It was not until this time that the guards of the Eighth Prince knew that their master had died long ago, and Du Xin and others who came with the Eighth Prince also died here.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Su's guards were shocked and panicked. Even the Caicheng Guards who came later were also panicked when they heard that the Eighth Prince was stabbed to death.

Something big happened!

This idea emerged in the minds of many people.

At this critical moment when the old emperor was about to appoint the crown prince, the eighth prince Zhao Su was assassinated in the street. This incident will definitely cause an uproar, arouse the suspicion of many people, and have a great impact. The court, which was already in turmoil because of the position of the crown prince, will be more shaken, and many people will lose their jobs or even their heads because of this incident!

"Immediately block all the city gates. Before His Majesty gives an order, no suspicious person is allowed to leave!" The general of the city guard who came immediately ordered.

He didn't know what the old emperor would react to. What he could do now was to block the city gates and block the rebels in the city.

After all, Yanyang City is the imperial capital of Yanfeng Country. It is unrealistic to block the city gates for a long time and not allow anyone to enter or leave. It will cause panic and riots among people. This general cannot afford such consequences.

Therefore, he can only block the city gates, conduct strict inspections on people entering and leaving, catch suspicious people, and at the same time, report the matter immediately and wait for the old emperor's decision.

Following the order issued by the general, all the gates of Yanyang City were closed soon after. Anyone who wanted to leave the city would be strictly checked, and anyone who was slightly suspicious would be detained.

Such a move immediately caused panic and complaints among the people in the city, but the city guards did not completely prevent people from leaving the city, so the emotions of the people in the city had not yet reached the point of an explosion.

Bang!

In the palace, the old emperor who heard the news slammed the dragon throne and roared: "Who did it?! Who did it?!"

The old emperor's face was an unnatural blood red, full of anger and murderous aura, and he was shaking with anger.

He never imagined that he had just announced that he would confirm the crown prince within half a month, and something like this would happen. What do these bastards want to do?

The old emperor had already guessed about the person behind this incident, and this was the reason for his rage.

"Pfft!"

In anger, the old emperor spat out a mouthful of blood, and the eunuch next to him came over immediately.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Come here, call the doctor quickly!"

...

The eunuchs next to the old emperor panicked.

After a while, the old emperor sat down again, looked at the person kneeling below who came to report the news, and said: "Investigate this matter immediately. I want to know who did it. In addition, search and arrest people in the city immediately. , Before the murderer is caught, everyone entering and leaving the city gate must be strictly interrogated. "

"yes!"

The man took the order and left.

The old emperor's eyes were sinister, and he continued: "Come here, let Hou Zhong come to see me!"

Not long after, Hou Zhong came to the old emperor. The old emperor looked at him and ordered: "In the past few days, has there been anything unusual about my unsatisfactory sons?"

Hou Zhong was the person responsible for helping the old emperor do some shady things. It was also his job to monitor the ministers and the prince.
