MTL - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times-Chapter 468 Escape

No one expected that the second prince would suddenly give the order to take action. Even the officials who supported him thought that the second prince sent those archers here just to intimidate them.

 Seeing the dense arrows coming at them, the civil servants were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

 The military attachés in the palace reacted fairly quickly, but they were not allowed to wear weapons when they entered the palace to mourn.

 With bare hands, there is no way to knock down those sharp arrows.

Just when everyone's hearts were sinking, the shovel quickly spun around the officials on King Rui's side.

 Blocked back all the sharp arrows that were shot at him.

 Under the protection of the shovel, the officials supporting King Rui were unscathed.

 But the officials who supported the second prince were not so lucky.

 It was not that the second prince asked the Imperial Guard to shoot those officials who supported him.

But the shovel rotated too fast, and many of the sharp arrows that were deflected injured the officials on the second prince's side.

The military attache was okay. Although he had no weapons, he still had martial arts skills. Some of them avoided the arrows.

But the civil officials were in dire straits. The incident happened suddenly and there was no martial arts at their disposal. Many people were hit by arrows.

 Cong Amber is one of them.

Although he was not shot to death, he was hit in the thigh by a sharp arrow and was screaming in pain.

The second prince was already furious because he failed to ascend the throne smoothly. Seeing that the official he had managed to win over was injured, he became even more angry with veins popping out.

Seeing Ning Chuyi leading the imperial guards in a fight with the Imperial Guards, he also took a long sword and killed them.

The entire capital is under his control, and the second prince doesn't know how those royal guards appeared.

If Zhao Chuanlin hadn't been dead, he would have wanted to grab him by the collar and ask him if he had betrayed him.

The people on King Rui's side were protected by the big shovels and couldn't move at all.

Instead, several of the imperial troops on his side were killed by Ning Chuyi. The second prince couldn't help but point his sword at him.

"Whoever kills this rebellious official and traitor who is trying to usurp the throne will be rewarded heavily by His Highness!"

As soon as these words were said, the military attachés and imperial troops on the second prince's side quickly moved toward Ning Chuyi.

Lingchu almost laughed out of anger at the second prince's shamelessness.

"The emperor has returned to Beijing and will return to the palace soon. Are you sure you want to continue?"

 As soon as these words came out, the people on King Rui's side looked surprised.

Others' expressions changed suddenly, and those who wanted to surround and kill Ning Chuyi hesitated even more.

The second prince's pupils trembled. He didn't expect that the imperial guard just spoke so quietly, but she actually overheard her.

　　The second prince really wanted to eat her alive after being ruined by Ling Chu again and again.

It's a pity that the big shovel was there and he couldn't move her at all.

Prince Rui glanced at Ling Chu, although he didn't know whether the emperor had really returned to the capital.

 But when he saw that someone was afraid, he immediately raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty is kind, you have not made a big mistake before, it is too late to stop now.

If anyone sincerely repents, I can intercede with the emperor on your behalf and be generous. "

 The second prince has won over many ministers, but not everyone is like Kang Anbo, who sincerely wants him to ascend the throne.

 Some of them saw that the prince died, the emperor passed away, and among the remaining adult princes, only the second prince was suitable to succeed.

 With no choice but to choose him.

 Some others were forced to choose sides due to the cruel tactics of the second prince.

 When they learned that the emperor had returned, their hearts began to waver, and King Rui took the opportunity to promise to help him plead for mercy.

 Some generals hesitated and dropped their weapons. With the first person taking the lead, soon all the officials who were forced to support the second prince came to the side of Prince Rui.

 Wang Rui didn't show it on his face, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

If these people are stubborn, they will still support the second prince. When the emperor returns to Beijing, there will be a bloodbath in the court.

If it were a peaceful and prosperous time, these people would be killed.

But now there are Japanese pirates invading in the south and Tatars in the north burning, killing and looting at the border. It is a troubled time.

If the emperor kills all these officials who support the second prince, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court.

 This is not a good thing for Jiangshan Sheji.

Seeing that the courtiers that he had spent a lot of effort to win over were pulled back by Ling Chu and King Rui in just a few words.

There were even people who, in order to make up for their mistakes, took up weapons and fought with the imperial guards.

 The second prince was so angry that his lungs were almost exploding.

 Happily angry, the second prince had no intention of fighting anymore.

The Imperial Guards who just came to report the news are his confidants. Not only has the emperor returned to Beijing, but he has also brought many soldiers and horses with him.

 Even his maternal ancestor, Duke of Qi, was arrested.

Even though he was unwilling to give in, the second prince could only yell, "Retreat!"

If the affair between Concubine An Xian and Vice Commander Zhao had not been revealed, and Duke Qi had not been arrested, the second prince might not have escaped.

Even if the emperor is angry with him, for the sake of his mother, concubine and grandfather, he will not kill him.

 But now the second prince knew that if he didn't escape, there was only one way to die.

Although many officials who were won over by the second prince defected before the battle, there were still many imperial soldiers who fought desperately to protect the second prince.

The emperor may not kill all the civil and military officials who support the second prince, but those imperial guards know that the emperor will not forgive them easily.

Seeing the imperial army protecting the second prince and rushing out, Kang Anbo shouted anxiously, "Your Highness, Your Highness, save me."

 Kang Anbo shouted very loudly, but it was a pity that the second prince did not even spare him a glance.

He has too much time to take care of himself, so why would he bring such a burden?

The second prince was protected by the imperial guards. Seeing Ning Chuyi and his men chasing after him, he suddenly took out a whistle from around his neck and put it to his lips.

As the sharp whistle sounded, a dozen expressionless men in gray suddenly appeared from all around.

These are the dead warriors privately trained by the second prince, and they are highly skilled in martial arts.

With their help, the imperial troops quickly broke through the encirclement of the Jin Yiwei.

Lingchu saw that the second prince had escaped, but she did not chase him. It was not because she wanted to let him go, but because she was worried about Princess Dingyuan.

The ladies who went to Yinghua Palace have not returned because they were imprisoned by the second prince's people.

Although Ling Chu put an invisibility charm on Little Hammer and let him leave the emperor's palace to kill the imperial guards who imprisoned the ladies.

 But Lingchu was not sure whether the second prince had any backup plans.

What if she goes after the second prince and someone takes the opportunity to attack Princess Dingyuan and the others, this is not what she wants to see.

Although Lingchu did not go after the second prince, Ning Chuyi led his men to chase him.

Originally I thought that even if the second prince was protected by dead soldiers and imperial guards, he would not be able to escape from the capital.

Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened just after they rescued Princess Dingyuan and the others.

The palace maiden beside the Queen Mother ran over in a panic. Seeing Prince Rui's pale face, she knelt down with a plop.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother...the Queen Mother is missing." (End of this chapter)
