Chapter 554 The General Was Rescued (29)
In fact, the current situation has undoubtedly put the Second Prince in a dilemma.
The reason is simple, because the military force under the Second Prince's control is very limited.
On the one hand, he had to be on guard against the stubborn resistance that might be launched by the prince's side;
On the other hand, he also had to find ways to ensure that nothing went wrong in the palace.
You know, the prince has the powerful Yulin Guard as his backing, and the palace is guarded by well-trained Imperial Guards.
What about the second prince? Apart from a small number of scattered troops that he had gathered with great effort, he had almost nothing.
However, the most critical point of this upcoming battle is a quick victory, and victory requires sufficient military support.
At this moment, the counselor was "anxious" and advised again: "Second Prince, we have no choice and can't wait any longer! Now, we are at the mercy of others.
If we don't risk our lives, by tomorrow we won't have even the slightest chance left!"
Originally, the others were still somewhat hesitant, but after listening to this man's logical analysis, they gradually became excited.
Then, someone in the crowd shouted, "Then let's just charge straight to the palace! Although there are imperial guards in the palace, their forces are rather scattered.
As long as we can launch a blitzkrieg, quickly enter the palace and seize the abdication edict, then we will have a legitimate reason and a just cause!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present began to echo them like a group of mindless idiots.
These two guys who strongly encouraged the second prince to take the risk, when they saw others discussing it heatedly, exchanged glances in private.
When the Second Prince heard everyone's agreement, a look of determination flashed across his eyes, and he shouted, "That's it!"
Then these people began to contact their subordinates and started to deploy troops.
But what they didn't know was that these unusual movements had already been noticed by the prince who had received the news.
He directly led his Yulin Guards to ambush around the palace, hoping to cooperate with the Imperial Guards from inside and outside when the time comes.
What the Crown Prince wanted was never for the Second Prince to be imprisoned. He just wanted his younger brother to die so that he could rest easy.
Since there are Third Prince Chen Jiyao's men on both sides, they are also making final deployments.
However, compared to his two brothers who arranged large troops, Chen Jiyao only arranged a few good players, including Huo Yuan.
Among these people, some were wearing the uniforms of the Yulin Guard, and some were wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Guard.
It is hard to say whether the abdication edict can be obtained tonight, but it is relatively easy to take advantage of the situation and kill one or two people.
Chen Jiyao had "woken up" yesterday and the day before yesterday, but he had not yet left the palace to build his own residence.
Therefore, Chen Jiyao was waiting for the final result in his palace at this time. Whether he would win or lose depended on this night.
Then the second prince led everyone and rushed towards the palace.
The two counselors quietly fell behind and slowly separated themselves from these people.
Because these two people were originally scholars, the others didn't care too much about them falling behind.
After the group of people walked away, one of them raised a sinister smile and said, "These fools really think they can take over the palace so easily."
The other person was also full of pride: "Humph, we have already surrendered to the Crown Prince, and we are just waiting to see the Second Prince fall into the trap."
After saying this, the two of them smiled at each other and each found a place to "hide".
The second prince led his men to the outside of the palace and was about to attack when a large number of imperial guards suddenly emerged from all directions, and the Imperial Guards also surrounded them from the side.
The second prince was horrified: "We've fallen into a trap!"
When the Second Prince saw that the two counselors who had proposed the "forcing the emperor to abdicate" plan were no longer in his team, he realized that all this was a scheme by the Crown Prince, who deliberately let those two people infiltrate his side to incite him to act impulsively.
At this moment, the second prince was surrounded and his men were quickly beaten to pieces.
When the second prince was in despair, suddenly a long arrow came flying through the air and headed straight for where the crown prince was.
Because the arrow was shot from the Second Prince's side, many people thought that he was desperate.
The Imperial Guards and the Imperial Guards no longer showed mercy.
The arrow did not hit the prince, but it injured Huo Hong who had been following him. The arrow was not shot in a dangerous place like the chest, but in the abdomen.
"Ah Hong, are you okay?" When the prince saw Huo Hong was shot by an arrow, he immediately became anxious, "Just bear with it for now, I will send someone to get you a doctor right away."
Although Huo Hong is a scholar, he grew up in a military family and practiced martial arts. In his opinion, this small arrow has nothing to do with anything.
In order to prove that he was fine, Huo Hong grabbed the arrow and started to pull it out proudly: "That's it, I don't even care about it."
Death began here. This was a double-arrow. When he exerted force, the internal organs in his body were forcibly pulled out.
Because the movement was too fast and the force was too strong, Huo Hong didn't pay attention at first and only felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
By the time he came to his senses, the arrow and the internal organs were already in his hands.
It only took a moment for him to be shocked, vomit blood, fall down, and finally die with his legs twitching.
