The long knife, with blood dripping from the tip and a cold light on the blade, cut through the night sky and struck fiercely towards the emperor.
Gao, Zhuiyun, Zhou Boxu and others were all entangled and unable to get away. The emperor handed over the unconscious Yu Cheng to King Rui and others, and angrily raised his sword to fight against Cao Qian.
Cao Qian wanted to kill the emperor, and the emperor also wanted to kill him. Both of them had murderous intent surging in their eyes.
However, there was a huge gap in their kung fu. In just three moves, the emperor's leg was cut with a knife. Although it was not fatal, it greatly slowed down the emperor's movements.
"Heh...heh..." The emperor gasped in pain and looked at the approaching Cao Qian, preparing to fight to the death.
In Cao Qian's eyes, the emperor was just a fish waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board. Seeing that victory was in hand, Cao Qian raised his sword and stabbed the emperor with a sinister expression.
"Whoa!" At the critical moment, a soft sword wrapped around Cao Qian's knife like a snake and pulled hard.
Cao Qian looked intently at the owner of the soft sword and sneered contemptuously: "His Royal Highness King Jing is really filial, and he will die in front of you. In this case, I will help you."
As soon as Yu Zheng arrived in front of the emperor and before he could stand firm, Cao Qian attacked fiercely.
Yu Zheng reacted very quickly and responded calmly.
Compared to the emperor and Yu Cheng, Yu Zheng's martial arts is much higher. Cao Qian fought with him several times, but there was nothing he could do.
Upon seeing this, Cao Qian called out, and a group of men in black came quickly and besieged Yu Zheng with him.
"Be careful." Zhou Boxu dealt with the two men in black, walked away and came to Yu Zheng's side, standing back to back with him.
The two guard each other and work together to deal with the enemy.
Zhou Boxu kicked one person away, and when Yu Zheng saw it, he turned the soft sword in his hand and drew a line of blood across the man's neck neatly and beautifully.
The two of them cooperated tacitly, both offensively and defensively, and they were able to defeat the three of them in just a moment.
But Cao Qian had too many people. No matter how powerful they were, they would inevitably be injured.
Yu Zheng and Zhou Bexu clenched the swords in their hands, ignoring the injuries on their arms and shoulders, and fought hard with the men in black who besieged them.
In Cao Qian's eyes, this was a desperate struggle. Cao Qian gave a cold shout and raised his sword to sneak attack Yu Zheng.
"Hurry, hurry..." Suddenly, urgent shouts and footsteps came from outside the hospital.
Everyone in the courtyard was startled at the same time.
"Reinforcements are coming!" King Rui was overjoyed and shouted.
Several other princes were also excited, finally seeing hope of survival.
Cao Qian's expression darkened and he ordered in a fierce voice: "Block the courtyard gate and light a fire!"
After Zhuiyun Zhufeng heard this, he immediately ran to the courtyard gate, but was entangled by a man in black who looked like a dog-skin plaster.
"Bang!" The courtyard door slammed shut and the door bolt was bolted from the inside.
A group of men in black stood guard behind the door and pressed against the hospital door.
At the same time, a man in black took out a flaming stick from his body, blew it and threw it into the room filled with kerosene.
"Wow!" Almost instantly, flames shot up into the sky and rushed towards the Western Zhou Dynasty at an extremely fast speed, causing most of the courtyard to catch fire and burn violently.
In an instant, the courtyard was engulfed in flames. It was only separated by a section of courtyard wall. The courtyard door, which was not yet on fire, became the only way to survive.
"Protect the Emperor and rush out!" Gao Hejian shouted, taking the lead.
Cao Qian led his people to block the courtyard gate and said coldly: "Force them back."
Although the men in black suffered heavy casualties, most of them were still alive. They were surrounded in front of the courtyard gate with a heavy blackness, making it impossible for Yu Zheng and others to pass through, so they could only continue fighting.
"Bump the door!" Lin Jun ordered in a deep voice outside the courtyard.
As he finished speaking, the courtyard door was violently banged. But there was a row of men in black standing behind the door. Although the heavy courtyard door shook violently, there was no sign of opening.
"Climb the wall!" Lin Jun decisively gave new instructions.
The Imperial Guard used his shoulders as a ladder and quickly climbed up the wall.
Cao Qian ordered people to stop and kill at the wall to prevent the imperial army from entering the courtyard.
Yu Zheng, Zhou Boxu and others attacked the wall and fought with the men in black, creating an opportunity for the Imperial Army to enter the hospital.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Cao Qian became furious and gritted his teeth and said: "Kill!"
Cao Qian knew very well that once the imperial army entered the hospital, he would be defeated. So he wanted to kill the emperor and Yu Zheng before the Imperial Army entered the hospital.
Even if he was defeated and died, he would still drag them down and vent his anger.
Cao Qian, who was determined to die, made his offensive more fierce than before, forcing the emperor to retreat continuously, and was about to be forced into a sea of fire.
"Protect him!" Gao He desperately defended himself in front of the emperor and shouted at the imperial soldiers who had entered the courtyard.
As each of the Imperial Guards climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, the situation was instantly reversed.
A group of forbidden soldiers guarded the emperor, and a group of forbidden soldiers attacked the courtyard gate and fought with the men in black. In the melee, the man in black lost sight of the other and could no longer reach the hospital door.
With a 'bang' sound, the courtyard door was knocked open, and a large number of forbidden troops poured into the courtyard, attacking and outflanking the man in black.
"Father, be careful!" The emperor's leg was injured and he almost fell into the sea of fire if he lost his balance. Yu Zheng arrived in time and pulled him back.
Zhou Bexu and Zhuiyun all guarded the emperor. Lin Jun led the imperial army to surround Cao Qian and others.
"Crack!" The raging flames engulfed the roof, and the flames shot up into the sky, and the heat wave of the flames was scorching.
"Let's go." Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu supported the emperor on the left and right, and walked out of the courtyard under the guard of the imperial army.
King Rui and others also carried Yu Cheng, who was unconscious and unaware of life and death, and rushed out.
After becoming the king and losing the bandits, Cao Qian knew that he had no way out and wanted to fight to the death with the imperial army.
"Catch him alive, don't let him die!" The emperor outside the courtyard turned around and ordered sternly.
Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu turned around and rushed back to the courtyard, working together to capture Cao Qian.
The two cooperated closely. Yu Zheng attacked Cao Qian's upper body, and Zhou Boxu attacked Cao Qian's lower body. Yu Zheng attacked Cao Qian head-on, and Zhou Boxu stabbed him in the back.
"Pfft!" Cao Qian couldn't respond and was stabbed in the shoulder by Yu Zheng's soft sword.
The injured Cao Qian moved slightly slowly, and Zhou Bexu took the opportunity to scratch his right leg with a sword.
Once a person loses his power and is given the upper hand by others, he has no power to fight back.
After a cup of tea, Cao Qian was stabbed several times, but the swords missed his vital points and he collapsed on the ground covered in blood.
At this point, the regicide assassination ended in failure.
"Take it down," Yu Zheng ordered while sheathing his sword.
The imperial army was ordered to step forward and capture Cao Qian.
"Boom!" The supporting beams were burned, and the roof collapsed instantly, causing a wave of fire.
Zhou Boxu raised his arms to shield his eyes. After the fire wave receded, he glanced at it and said in a deep voice: "Other houses are also about to collapse. Get out first."
The emperor had already gone to the front yard, and Yu Cheng was also placed on the bed.
The ministers in the front yard and the garrison personnel all slept as if they were dead, and the huge movement did not wake them up at all.
After Zhuiyun Zhufeng checked, he reported back: "They are all drugged."
The emperor, whose clothes were stained with blood and dirty, covered in sweat and looked miserable, looked back at Yu Cheng on the bed and said quickly: "Where is Doctor Chen, wake him up."
"Yes." Zhuiyun Zhufeng hurriedly went to find Dr. Chen.
Doctor Chen was also drugged, and because of his age, he slept extremely hard. Zhuiyun slapped, shouted, and pinched him, but he didn't react at all.
"Get out of the way!" Zhufeng carried a bucket of well water and poured it into Doctor Chen's face without hesitation.
