The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

With the arrival of the Guards Brigade, the battle situation quickly turned around. To Zhao Yu's surprise, the first to arrive were the middle-aged couple who had been planting flowers and trees in the inner garden. They immediately joined the battle group upon arrival.

Taking the place of the emperor, the two of them cooperated extremely well and gained the upper hand in a few rounds.

"Stay alive!" Zhao Tong shouted loudly when he saw the couple about to kill him and retreated from the battle circle. He was also surrounded by the guards who arrived.

"What are you yelling about? You don't have to worry about it!" the middle-aged man replied rudely, but the movement of his hand obviously slowed down, and the long knife changed from chopping to slashing the arm of one of the assassins holding the dagger.

, the dagger knocked out of his hand, he stepped forward, and subdued him with a series of dazzling movements. The movements of his hands made the assassin's jaw, arms, and legs move in a burst of bone-shattering sounds.

With all the joints removed, it was impossible for the assassin to even make a sound.

"If you want to leave, there's no way!" When the remaining assassin saw his companion being captured, he suddenly attacked the woman fighting with him and forced her to take two steps back. He wanted to turn around and find a gap to escape, but the woman noticed his attempt to rush away immediately.

The superior entangled him, and while he was in a panic, he suddenly shot a sleeve arrow to knock him down, and then removed all his joints in the same manner as the man.

"I was thinking just now that you are not too old to run away, so why are you willing to fight to the death at the cost of ten thousand gold? It turns out it is for your own son!" The middle-aged man saw that the battle was over and he sheathed his sword and paced.

He stepped closer, pointed at Zhao Yu and smiled.

"Tch, if I didn't want to leave them alive, I would have knocked them down long ago, but you can still run very fast with your old arms and legs, and you'll be there in a blink of an eye!" Zhao Tong rolled his eyes and said with disdain.

"Haha, I didn't expect that you, who haven't touched a knife in so many years, could actually defeat a few of them. These people are not weak, but I don't know where they are!" the middle-aged man said with a smile, not taking it seriously.

"Their knives are poisonous. Wangfu was hit, and look, they don't have an antidote!" Zhao Tong stopped bickering and frowned when he saw Wangfu's face turned dark.

"What's so interesting about a dead person? Don't be frightened! You must be Yu'er. You haven't grown so tall in a few years!" Zhao Yu also wanted to follow him to see, but was stopped by the woman.

"Well, you are..." Looking at the woman's smile, Zhao Yu actually felt very cordial, and he turned around obediently and replied.

"Brother Yu, you should call her aunt. He is your father's sworn sister, and she and her husband are responsible for the safety of the inner palace!" Just when Zhao Yu was confused, he saw Empress De Fei coming over and saying.

"The empress is here too!" Zhao Yu quickly saluted, then turned around and saluted Xiao Mei.

"You're not injured, are you?" Zhao Xin carefully checked Zhao Yu's body up and down and asked worriedly.

"Empress, I'm fine!" Zhao Yu looked at the Imperial Concubine in military uniform and felt a sense of awe, and replied in a low voice.

"Well, it's fine. Don't wander around. There are soldiers nearby and they accidentally injured you!" Zhao Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said with concern, "Sister Xiao, I will leave Yu'er to your care."

"Don't worry, I'm here!" Xiao Mei pulled Zhao Yu over and patted his head and said with a smile.

At this moment, all the assassins were killed. Lei Zhenshan was in charge of the Guards, Wang Heng was in charge of the Leopard General, and all the officers arrived. Seeing that the emperor was fine, they were relieved. They quickly set up several warnings around the perimeter.

Surround the emperor at the core.

"Er baby, the queen and all the empresses are in the camp. The internal guards are coming to rescue the emperor. You should immediately send a battalion of troops to reinforce. Don't make any mistakes!" Zhao Xin looked at Lei Zhenshan and asked.

"Yes, empress!" Erwa saluted.

"Wang Heng. You immediately mobilize the leopard generals to quickly surround Dongdu Garden and don't let anyone out!" Zhao Xin ordered Wang Heng again.

"Your Majesty, my Majesty, after receiving the alarm, my subordinates have mobilized the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd brigades to block all access roads, and ordered dragon cavalry to patrol outside and inside the garden. A reserve team has also been deployed to prepare for a search in the garden." Wang Heng

Salute.

"Well, very good!"

, remember that soldiers must form groups and cannot act alone!"

"Yes, I respect your order!" Wang Heng received the order and retreated to deploy his troops.

"Empress, shall we escort His Majesty back to the palace?" Lei Zhenshan asked for instructions.

"The enemy's situation is unknown, so we must not act rashly. Maybe the assassins on this road want to force us to return to Beijing. They have other arrangements on the way. Now the situation is worse than calm. The Guards have set up another guard outside the camp, and the whole army is on guard.

Saddle, don't take off your armor, be careful. You can personally lead the guards to escort His Majesty back to the camp, and then dispatch the Second and Third Guard Brigades to Luoyang to guard the Imperial City!" Zhao Xin thought for a moment and said.

"I will obey your orders!" Lei Zhenshan responded, but did not insist on his opinion.

"Wangfu is seriously injured. Xifu, you will temporarily take over the position of commander of the internal security brigade and be responsible for the security of the camp. No one is allowed to enter the camp without orders!"

Xifu said.

"Yes, empress, I obey your orders!" Xifu stepped forward to give the order...

"Auntie, why do these Guards and Forbidden Army accept the orders of the Empress?" Zhao Yu asked curiously as he watched Xin Zhao arranging his troops and generals, and all the generals obeyed her orders.

"Didn't you see that the empress has the gold medal given by His Majesty? She is acting on behalf of His Majesty. Do you think anyone can mobilize the army at will?" Xiao Mei said, pointing to the gold medal on Xin Zhao's waist.

"I heard in the army that Wang Zongzhi had repeatedly made military exploits and was the most unruly, yet he was so submissive to the empress. It's really strange!" Zhao Yu asked still puzzled.

"You are still young and don't know what happened back then. Concubine De was the first commander of the Guards. Later she served as the deputy commander of the army, commanding the army on behalf of His Majesty. Concubine De was also very good at using troops and assisted

Your Majesty is campaigning in the northwest and has always had prestige in the army. If he were not a daughter, Zhao Ren would not be the Privy Councilor. Zhao Yong and others would do it. How could Wang Heng and Erwa dare to be so presumptuous in front of the empress?" Xiao Mei smiled.

said.

"Oh, no wonder your Majesty is so calm, decisive and well-organized in dispatching troops and generals. It turns out that she has also commanded large armies to fight on the battlefield. Then my father is really capable of leading troops into battle!" Zhao Yu said with emotion.

"You brat, if Wang Heng hears what you just said, he won't care if you are a prince or not, he will have to beat you up first!" Xiao Mei knocked on Zhao Yu's helmet and said, "Your father is like you.

At your age, you have already defeated the famous northwest general Cha Ge and fled thousands of miles for the country, but you still doubt whether he went to fight in person? It seems that His Majesty was right to send you to the army to study, otherwise you would never know how to start a business.

The hardship, the cruelty of the battlefield!”

…………

Here, Zhao Xin arranged troops to round up the assassins, but over there, Zhao Tao, who was tracing the assassin's origins, was at a loss. When he took off the assassin's kerchief, he found that all of them were foreigners with big noses and white skin.

Looking at Lu Xiaoyao, who was searching for an assassin, he couldn't help but wonder if it was because he had "changed his career to become a good person", which had cut off the business of assassins in the Song Dynasty and had to import them from abroad.

"Second Master, everything on these people has been turned out, but I don't know which one is the antidote!" Lu Xiaoyao was quite professional. In order to prevent poisoning, he even wore a pair of thin leather gloves on his hands. He held four or five small

Liuli Ping said.

"This is not simple. Use the weapon that stabbed Wangfu just now to find a living person and stab him. If he is afraid of death, he will naturally tell you; if he is not afraid of death, feed the medicine to each one, and the one who cannot die will become a real person!" Zhao

Tama curled her lips and asked, "Has the leader of the famous killer gang been transformed by himself? He couldn't even think of such a simple solution."

"Well, this method is indeed immediate, but only someone like you can think of it!" Lu Xiaoyao called an internal guard and asked him to follow the same method, and he curled his lips wider than Zhao Tong and said with a sneer.

"Okay, I'm not going to argue with you today, I'd better find out the origins of these people first!" Zhao Tong waved his hand and said, although Lu Xiaoyao has always tried his best to protect himself, he has never called His Majesty since he ascended the throne. At most, he calls him 'Second Master'

The title clearly means that he still regards himself as a Jianghu person and refuses to be an 'Eagle Claw Grandson' who submits to the imperial court.

"Hey, don't you know who you have offended? Come and ask me!" Lu Xiaoyao said jokingly, weighing the dagger used by the assassin.

"I have offended so many people, and there are countless people who want to kill me. Do I know which one it is?" Zhao Tong glared at him and said.

"None of these assassins look like they are from the Central Plains, and the weapons they use are extremely rare. I have traveled around the world for decades and have never heard of any sect in the Central Plains raising barbarians as assassins. You must have offended people from the Western Regions!"

"Well, this is most likely. Both the Western Expeditionary Army and the Expeditionary Army are fighting in the west this year. Maybe Gao Chong or Cheng Xishou caused harm to them for some unknown reason, and ended up putting the account on my head!" Zhao Tong

He nodded and said that he had started to use troops against the West since last year, but this retribution must have come so quickly!

"If that's the case, I heard in the early years that there was a sect in the country of Mulai in the Western Region that specialized in training assassins. They only care about the purpose, use any means, misuse daggers, and turn assassination into a way of life. The leader has turned some elites in the sect into a way of life.

The elements are trained into 'Fidayi' and become assassins who carry out revenge, murder, intimidation and blackmail. These people may come from there!" Lu Xiaoyao thought for a while and said, but the corner of his mouth hesitated for a moment without knowing it.

Next, it is obvious that he is extremely afraid of these people.

"Fidai - Assassin!" Zhao Tong was shocked when he heard this. As a special warfare elite in his previous life, he knew that 'Fidayi' in English means 'assassin, assassin'. The name comes from an ancient figure.

The name given to assassins in famous sects, could it be that he had encountered the legendary 'Old Man of the Mountain'...
