Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 187, Liu Hong wants to rebel? Your Majesty! I am really loyal

Ye Chong thought his plan was flawless.

But Emperor Qing secretly sent people down, and Ye Chong had no way to stop him. This was the loophole.

Chen Pingping took the opportunity to make arrangements, arranged Shadow in, and passed the news on.

Several forces have been infiltrating the Imperial Guards in Kyoto, and have achieved some results, which were all used in this Hanging Temple.

Li Chengru took the soft sword, flicked it, and curled his lips.

"Only women can play this game."

"Come on! At least you're not unarmed."

Liu Hong and Li Chengru relied on each other and stood in front of Emperor Qing to buy time for the deployment of the city defense army and the garrison division.

"Why are you still standing there? How can I protect you if you are hiding behind His Majesty from such a distance?"

Liu Hong frowned and started scolding the crown prince and the second prince.

The two princes who once held great power in the court were now timid and hurriedly ran behind Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing's dragon robe had been mostly stained with the blood of the Third Prince.

However, Emperor Qing held the Third Prince tightly and refused to let go, as if this was the only way to eliminate the guilt in his heart.

Amid the flash of swords and sabers, Liu Hong and Li Chengru joined forces to barely hold off the siege of a dozen imperial guards.

However, a trap was brewing.

Emperor Qing is such a coward. He is afraid that Wu Zhu will find out the truth about Ye Qingmei's death one day and break into the palace.

The 20,000 imperial guards are almost all fifth-rank masters.

Liu Hong and Li Chengru, who could barely defeat ten or a hundred men, were now unable to withstand more than a dozen imperial guards.

There were many wounds on their bodies. If they were not of noble status and wearing inner armor, they would have been killed by the gun.

This group of imperial guards were wearing heavy armor and carrying long spears. They attacked with great force and paid no attention to the soft swords in the hands of the two men except for their vital parts.

Li Chengru was stabbed and flew away, his soft armor was damaged, and he spoke anxiously.

"Liu Hong, you knew about the assassination a long time ago, so you wouldn't be completely unprepared, right?"

"Why are you panicking? Doesn't it take time to deploy troops?"

Liu Hong's face was calm. Although blood was flowing from his body, his injuries were much lighter than Li Chengru's.

After all, Liu Hong was also very timid and hid behind Li Chengru many times.

Don't ask! If you ask, I'm just a seventh-rank archer and I'm afraid it will become a flaw.

Below the Hanging Temple, the city defense commander Er Gouzi arrived here with his city defense troops at some point in time.

Originally, Ye Chong was extremely worried because of investigating the fire.

He assured himself that his defense was flawless.

It didn't take long for him to get slapped in the face.

Whether this matter is big or small depends on what Emperor Qing thinks.

But we have to give the Ye family some face! After all, the one standing behind the Ye family is a grandmaster.

Er Gouzi had a blank expression on his face and took out the order from the General of Chariots and Cavalry.

"Following the order from the General of Chariots and Cavalry, we are dispatching troops to serve the king!"

"Are you trying to defend the king, or to capture him? Are you planning to rebel?"

Ye Zhong was not willing to be outdone. He had his garrison division at the Hanging Temple, as well as his junior brother Gong Dian's imperial guards.

Even if there are assassins, there is no need to mobilize a large number of troops. Let's transfer the city defense forces here!

"The General doesn't trust you!"

Er Gouzi was not in a hurry either. He just used the city defense troops to stop part of the garrison division led by Ye Chong.

That is his mission.

In the cooperation with Northern Qi and Dongyi City, there is no doubt that Liu Hong had betrayed them again and turned against them.

Liu Hong once had the nerve to solemnly promise that even if he did not take any action, he would remain neutral.

Huang Xuan's troops, who were in charge of guarding the road, led the garrison division and gathered towards the Hanging Temple under the slogan of serving the king.

As expected, they were firmly blocked outside by the 5,000 imperial guards led by Commander Gong Dian.

After talking nonsense for a while, Ye Chong came to his senses.

Er Gouzi just wanted to delay time. It seemed that these people were not Liu Hong's killer move. But Ye Zhong had no good solution. If he wanted to mobilize troops now, Er Gouzi and others would probably rush over.

The garrison division and the imperial guards were firmly restrained by Er Gouzi and Huang Xuan and could not escape.

In the military generals' floor at the bottom of the Hanging Temple, Ji Xin had already gathered more than a hundred personal guards, and they were rushing towards the top of the Hanging Temple with blades in hand.

These people in Kyoto only thought that Liu Hong was protective of his people and valued friendship and loyalty. Even the stray dogs in his mansion were given official positions and a share of the emperor's food.

Liu Hong also arranged for his personal guards to intervene in the army and firmly grasp the military power.

Unexpectedly, these guards holding official positions gathered together at this moment and rushed to the top of the Hanging Temple.

The princes and ministers who were originally attending the flower-viewing party suddenly became uneasy, apparently recognizing the origins of these guards.

There were a few scattered imperial guards trying to stop them in the corridor, but they were beheaded instantly by a cold sword.

Some officials maliciously speculated that perhaps Liu Hong felt that Emperor Qing was too unfair to him.

Are you preparing to rebel directly?
The so-called assassination in the Hanging Temple was actually Liu Hong wanting Emperor Qing to die!
When this news came out, everyone looked at each other in fear and anxiety.

Everything in Qing Kingdom today was brought by Emperor Qing.

If Emperor Qing died, the two incompatible princes would probably split the Qing Kingdom directly.

From then on, Qing became a second-rate country, barely surviving under the control of Northern Qi.

But I was at the mercy of others. When these officials saw the guards rushing up the stairs frantically, they could do nothing.

Back on the top floor, Liu Hong and Li Chengru were already covered in wounds and clearly unable to fight again.

Emperor Qing clenched his fists unconsciously. He was not moved by the bloody fight between the two men, but was worried that his strength as a grandmaster might be exposed at this moment.

Chen Pingping looked at Liu Hong with eyes that were already mixed with a hint of coldness.

Why doesn't Liu Hong just die? How could he, the president of the Supervisory Commission, not know what you did?

Now you come here to be a loyal subject?

At this moment, Ji Xin led his personal guards and hurried over, and saw Liu Hong, who was almost covered in blood.

Ji Xin's eyes turned red and he roared angrily.

"Protect your lord!"

Hundreds of royal guards rushed forward, abandoning the so-called formation, and tried to stop the dozen or so imperial guards.

With a bloody hole on his body, he held on to the spear tightly, preparing for the battle to kill the imperial guards.

Seeing this, Li Chengru sat down on the ground, breathing heavily, feeling extremely grateful.

"Fortunately, we arrived in time,"

Liu Hong remained silent, his eyeballs were almost covered with bloodshot, and his heart was bleeding.

He looked at the number of his personal guards, which had dropped sharply from hundreds to dozens.

For Liu Hong's plan, these guards paid the price of their lives.

Even though Liu Hong did have the idea of ​​using these personal guards as death squads at the beginning.

But if you spend every day together, brag and chat, and eat from the same pot, anyone who is not an iron man will have feelings for you.

All these imperial guards turned into corpses and remained in the Hanging Temple.

Liu Hong knelt on one knee, holding a sword, and spoke word by word.

"Your Majesty! I know that I have committed a capital crime by secretly mobilizing troops, hiding weapons, and hiding my personal guards among officials."

"But the assassination at the Hanging Temple is not over yet. The manpower was arranged to almost kill them all, so there must be many powerful people involved."

"I must investigate this thoroughly! Once this matter is over, I will die to atone for my crime."

Every word seems to be from the heart.

Not to mention that Li Chengru's eyes became moist when he heard this.

Emperor Qing was also moved. He swallowed the words he was about to criticize and waved his hand.

"In that case! Then I will temporarily appoint you as the governor of Kyoto, commanding the military and political affairs of Kyoto and thoroughly investigate this matter."

Chen Pingping hid the coldness in his eyes, even though he hated Liu Hong very much in his heart.

One has to admire Liu Hong's ability to survive.

After this incident, even if he threw the hard evidence in front of Emperor Qing, Emperor Qing did not think that Liu Hong would rebel.

With this incident, Liu Hong completely escaped from the control of the Supervisory Commission.
