Infinite Script Killing
Chapter 393 Entering the Palace
"These idiots!! Quick, wake up all the private troops, quick!"
In Prince Gong's palace, Prince Gong's expression suddenly changed when he saw the fireworks signal outside.
He cursed these stupid pigs in his heart. He had spent so much time arranging the arrangements and yet they were exposed.
The housekeeper hurried over at this time: "Your Majesty, a group of people who didn't know where they came from suddenly rushed into Ma's house and set it on fire. This only alerted the spies."
What the steward means is that this is not our own problem, it is someone else's fault.
Yes, who would have thought that someone would suddenly do something like this at this time.
But it's meaningless to say anything now. Now everyone knows that if someone touches the Ma family, the whole capital will be in riots.
Prince Gong's original plan was to take action tomorrow morning when the city gates changed defenses, because when the city defenses changed, the palace gates of the harem would also be opened.
But now plans have to be brought forward.
He waved his hand and did not let the butler continue talking. It was pointless to pursue these matters now. He must act as soon as possible without any delay.
Now I just hope that Ma Hongwen can be captured smoothly.
"Head, what's wrong!"
Seeing Xu Tong's ugly face, Gao Zhuo also restrained his expression and looked at him seriously.
"It's okay, everything is as planned. Let's go see Prince Gong."
Xu Tong waved his hand and glanced sideways in the direction of the Forbidden City.
A cold snort came from his nose.
By the time the carriage arrived at Prince Gong's Mansion, soldiers were already standing in darkness outside the Prince's Mansion.
These soldiers were not only well-equipped, but each of them had an unruly murderous look in their eyes.
At first glance, he is an elite soldier among elite soldiers.
Just by looking at their heads, you can tell that they are all strong and strong.
In comparison, the soldiers trained by March were far behind.
No matter in terms of equipment or physical fitness, they are not at the same level at all.
At a glance, there were at least five thousand such soldiers, and both streets were occupied.
With such an army of one against ten, it is no wonder that Prince Gong had the confidence to rebel.
But where did these armies come from?
Judging from the equipment, these soldiers obviously cannot be from any barracks.
Because today's finances simply cannot support such an army.
The mighty Datong Dynasty couldn't afford five thousand elite soldiers?
It seems exaggerated, but the truth is even more exaggerated. Ma Qi was given an additional title by the Empress Dowager Shengci, and the army was expanded to three battalions.
Only later did I realize that, good guy, there were three garbage barracks where the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled were all alive.
Not to mention the equipment, even the weapons are almost rotten.
Some veterans have not even seen a salary for five or six years. They come here just to make a living, and even their military uniforms are fully patched.
Only then did he realize that Datong Dynasty was rotten to the bone.
The figures reported by the Ministry of War every year do not match up here at all, and the silver tael allocated every year has never been distributed at all.
If it weren't for Xu Tong's cheap father-in-law who generously contributed hundreds of thousands of silver, Ma Qi wouldn't even be able to provide food and salary to the new soldiers, let alone training them.
Over the years, Prince Gong may have been docile on the surface, but his cliques behind his back have become deeply ingrained.
The amount of money flowing out of Prince Gong every year is already difficult to count.
Where did this money come from?
On the face of it, Prince Gong's mansion has thousands of acres of fertile land, twenty farms, three rice farms, pawn shops, silks, porcelain and other industries in the capital.
Just these are already extremely wealthy countries.
But is that all?
Just look at the prosperity of the foreigner district. There are jade houses, gambling houses, opium dens, and even human traffickers' businesses. In any low-life and profitable business, the shadow of the big boss behind it is indispensable.
As the saying goes, I am the white one, and I am the black one. The money and food spent on these elite soldiers every year are all made of real money.
It seemed that Prince Gong had known for sure that this day would come early in the morning.
When Xu Tong sat on the carriage and saw such a dark army of elite soldiers, he instantly broke into a cold sweat for his father.
Prince Gong, who was standing outside the gate, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ma Hongwen coming out of the carriage.
It's show time!
Gao Zhuo's face was serious as he roughly pulled Xu Tong out of the car and pushed him in front of Prince Gong.
"Don't...don't kill me...don't kill me!"
Prince Gong looked askance at the charming Mr. Ma.
His pale face was still pretending to be calm, but his eyes seemed to be filled with fear.
Just like a frightened little hedgehog, he wanted to shrink into a ball and try his best to stand up his thorns to make himself look powerful.
If the assassin named Tang Feng was still alive, after seeing this scene, he would definitely understand what the art of performance is.
Every look and every detail of his movements is so perfect that you can't find a single thorn in it.
Of course, if the dead Xiao Lizi could see this scene, he would be shocked to find out, isn't this him? ?
Prince Gong was very satisfied with Ma Hongwen's appearance: "Don't worry, be obedient and I won't kill you."
"Yes...I am obedient, I am obedient!"
Xu Tong swallowed and nodded repeatedly.
"Where's your brother?"
At this time, Prince Gong saw that only Gao Zhuo had returned, and he couldn't help but frown and asked.
"When he came back, he ran into trouble and he stayed behind to break up the queen."
Gao Zhuo responded expressionlessly.
Prince Gong nodded. These two men had just entered the palace, and he did not trust the two brothers. He even doubted whether they were spies sent by the Xiang family.
But after checking, I found out that the tall guy was actually the bastard who escaped from his black boxing ring before.
Although he was very annoyed, he finally endured it. After all, he needed talents now.
Seeing that the two brothers had brought Ma Hongwen back, he felt relieved about their opinions. He pushed Xu Tong to Gao Zhuo and told him to keep an eye on the boy.
"Without further delay, follow me into the palace, overthrow the tyranny of Mercy Saint, and bring peace to the world!"
Now that the matter has been exposed, the palace must not be allowed time to prepare. Prince Gong pulled out the sword from his waist and jumped on his horse.
"kill!"
"kill!!"
The soldiers raised their swords and followed Prince Gong into the palace.
The gate of the Forbidden City has been opened by the soldiers bribed by Prince Gong.
These rebels joined Prince Jin Gong's team and marched straight into the palace.
Some of the guards who resisted were vulnerable to the group of brave generals under Prince Gong.
Some simply knelt on the ground and surrendered.
Xu Tong and Gao Zhuo followed behind in a carriage, looking at the palace gate getting closer and closer. Xu Tong opened the window and looked up above his head.
That strong uneasiness swept through my heart again.
In the palace, the old phoenix was being tightly wrapped around the neck by a dragon. Perhaps the injury from the last time had not healed yet. This time, the old phoenix had almost no power to resist when facing the dragon.
Fortunately, the fierce horse on the side was trampling on the dragon, trying to drive it away.
It seemed like a fight between dragon and phoenix, but Xu Tong saw something unusual.
Dark clouds were rolling in the night sky, but a full moon appeared in the sky, like an eye silently watching the battle.
From time to time, there is an indescribable aura surging in the dark clouds, which gives people an extremely depressing feeling, as if a real behemoth is hiding in it, ready to go.
A cool breeze blew, and the wind was mixed with the roar of tigers, which added a bit of danger to the various strange phenomena in front of us.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
March's Royal Guards were finally mobilized, and they stood condescendingly on the city defense and began to shoot at the soldiers below with crossbows and steam guns.
It is obviously not an easy task to break into the harem. It is just a palace door with a willow inlaid in front of it. Without professional engineering tools, trying to break it open is nothing more than a dream.
But Prince Gong had been planning for this day for a long time and had already prepared for the worst.
"Pah~pah~pah~"
Two grooms stood in front of the carriage, cracking their whips as hard as they could, driving the six horses to pull the cannon forward. The horses' eyes were red, and white mist with blood mist was constantly sprayed from their mouths and noses.
Apparently they have been fed some kind of potion to enhance their power.
Even so, the carriage's moving speed is only slightly faster than a normal person walking.
The reason for this is precisely because this wide carriage is pulling a huge thing.
The straight and huge barrel emits a ferocious cold light in the night.
Different from ordinary artillery, this cannon is almost as big as an elephant, and the muzzle alone is as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
A huge boiler was installed at the back to continuously add pressure to the cannon.
Foreign steam cannon!
Xu Tong watched intently. This space was completely different from the real history. Westerners' research on gunpowder did not reach the extreme of thermal weapons. Instead, they were more interested in developing steam energy.
It may seem like an outdated energy source, but foreigners have used steam to design steam battleships, steam chariots, and even steam airships.
Finally, there is the steam cannon. Such a simple cannon directly blasted open the door that had been closed to the country for two hundred years.
With the muzzle of the cannon, it slowly aimed at the door ahead.
Prince Gong waved his long sword: "Fire!!"
"boom!"
Along with the terrifying water vapor, the fumaroles on both sides of the cannon burst out, forming a huge searing wave, and the whole world seemed to be covered in white mist.
Xu Tong even smelled the smell of steamed meat filling the air.
When the white mist dissipated, I saw several corpses lying on the ground around the cannon. These people were so unlucky that they stood in front of the cannon's vent.
As a result, he was instantly sprayed with high-heat water vapor, and was steamed in an instant.
It can only be said that these people are too unlucky.
This cannon was originally dismantled from a foreign warship.
It turns out that the two air outlets are connected to the battleship's energy recovery pipeline.
It is completely temporary, and its safety cannot be guaranteed.
But even so, the power of the cannon was undoubtedly terrifying, and the vermilion door was smashed into pieces.
The imperial troops who were standing behind the door also suffered heavy casualties.
Such terrifying power made the Forbidden Army feel cold in their hearts.
"Fight in!!"
Prince Gong took the lead and charged with his horse.
At this time, Xu Tong noticed that there was a strange aura surging around Prince Gong's body. His fate seemed to become stronger at this moment. Some bullets shot at him were pushed away by an unknown force. .
At this moment, he seemed to be the protagonist blessed by destiny, immune to all evil and invulnerable to sword damage.
"Is this what destiny is for?"
Xu Tong remembered that in the last script, the black tiger came behind Li Xi, and his mountain buckle could not shake a hair on his body. It was not until the master took action, and then the power of destiny suppressed the black tiger and killed Li Xi.
Just when he was pondering the wonder of fate, his heart suddenly tightened. He looked sideways and saw an old eunuch on the wall looking towards him. The two looked at each other for a moment. Xu Tong's pupils tightened and he reached out to grab him. Zhu Gao Zhuo's collar jumped out of the car: "Run!"
