Outside Heaven Dou City.
The setting sun has already set behind the city wall.
The tall city gate is tightly closed.
Rows of crossbows poked out from the city walls, all icy arrows pointed at the road outside the city.
In the middle of the tower, Prince Xue Xing stands with his hands behind his back.
The night wind blew by, blowing the City Defense Army battle flag behind him.
"Still no message?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Back to Your Highness, no one has come back from the hunting ground."
Xue Xing frowned deeper.
According to the plan, after Xue Beng controls Xue Ye and Xue Qinghe, the second signal should be sent immediately.
But from the time the iron gate of the hunting ground was closed until now, only the first red fireworks rose.
There was no movement after that.
Was there an accident?
Impossible!
Qian Renyuan does not have Jiangmo Douluo.
There are only seven young Soul Master around him, but Xue Beng has mastered several strong men secretly cultivated by Imperial Knights and the royal family.
Even if the Elite Guard team really wins the competition, it is impossible to defeat the Imperial Hunting Grounds head-on!
Thinking of this, Xue Xing took a deep breath and suppressed the uneasiness that kept rising in his heart.
"Continue to lock down the city!"
"No one is allowed to enter or leave without my warrant!"
The general guarding the city looked confused and said hesitantly, "But Your Highness, there are already people in the city talking about when His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will return to the city..."
"Then tell them that Spirit Hall Holy Son was assassinated in the hunting ground!"
Xue Xing suddenly turned around, his eyes were so sinister that it was terrifying. "Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are now alive and dead. I have been ordered to blockade Heaven Dou and capture the Spirit Hall rebels! Whoever dares to confuse the public or question military orders at this time will be captured on the spot!"
The general felt a chill in his heart and did not dare to ask any more questions.
At this moment, the dull sound of wheels suddenly came from the road in the distance.
All the defenders on the city wall moved out in sequence.
A black gold car drove slowly under the sunset.
Behind the car was the team of Imperial Hunting Grounds.
And the big horse walking in the front was surprisingly tied to a man with blood all over his face. That was Fourth Prince Xue Beng!
Xue Xing took a deep breath, and his pupils suddenly shrank to the extreme.
Failed!
Hunting Ground Plan really failed!
What made him even more stunned was that the royal guard of honor erected in the team was intact. Xue Ye and Xue Qinghe were both in the motorcade and were not dead at all!
"Uncle Emperor!"
Xue Qinghe rode to the front of the city.
"Your Majesty has returned to the city, why haven't you opened the door yet?"
His voice reached the city wall through Soul Power.
The City Defense Army nearby looked at each other in shock. Just now, His Royal Highness the Prince made it clear that his Majesty and the Crown Prince were assassinated by the Spirit Hall in the hunting ground.
But now the two of them are standing outside the city!
Xue Ye drove out from behind.
In his hand, he held high the Imperial Token, which represented the supreme imperial power of Heaven Dou. His old face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from it.
"Open the door!"
"Xue Xing, Xue Beng, uncle and nephew, launched a mutiny and besieged the hunting ground! All soldiers on the city, put down their weapons immediately! I can not hold you responsible for being deceived!"
The sound reached the city clearly.
Many soldiers' hands holding crossbows began to waver.
Seeing that a mutiny was about to happen, Xue Xing became completely anxious. He grabbed the sword from the waist of the general next to him and roared at the top of his lungs, "Don't believe it!"
"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince have been controlled by the Spirit Hall!"
"The people outside the city are all fake!"
"Whoever dares to open the door will be killed without mercy!"
The general looked at him blankly.
Counterfeit?
Heaven Dou Imperial Token can be counterfeited, can Xue Ye himself be counterfeited?
Even the Xue Beng tied to the horse is real!
"Your Highness the Prince."
"How about we send someone down first to confirm..."
"Confirm what?"
Xue Xing A sword pierced his chest.
Blood flowed rapidly along the armor.
The general lowered his head and glanced at the sword's edge, then his body fell limply to the ground.
All the soldiers nearby were frightened.
Xue Xing drew out his sword and blood spattered on the city bricks.
He has no way out!
If Xue Ye is allowed to enter Heaven Dou City, the hunting ground mutiny will be completely confirmed.
When the time comes, not only will Xue Beng die, he will also not survive!
"Crossbowmen prepare!"
Xue Xing points outside the city.
"Spirit Hall is holding His Majesty hostage, intending to seize Heaven Dou!"
"We must not let them enter the city today!"
"Fire the arrow!"
Hundreds of bowstrings were loosened simultaneously.
Buzz!
Arrows rained down from the city walls.
Xue Ye turned completely pale when he saw this scene.
Xue Xing actually dared to order arrows to be fired at him!
Qian Renyuan Pushed the door open, he raised his hand, and a black light curtain rose from the front of the car and quickly expanded to both sides.
The dense arrows hit the light curtain, causing only circles of ripples.
Then, all the arrows stopped in mid-air.
With a snap, the arrows seemed to have lost their power and all fell in front of the car.
The taxi soldier on the city wall was breathing heavily.
"Go on!"
Xue Xing is already red-eyed.
"Catapult!"
"Smash everyone outside the city to death!"
The soldiers at the rear were just about to turn the winch when a loud noise suddenly came from inside the city gate.
Boom!
The entire city wall shook.
The second tone sounded immediately.
Boom!
The center of the thick city gate bulged outwards, and sawdust kept flying out of the gaps.
Xue Xing turned around suddenly.
"What's going on inside?"
No one answered.
A Coiling Dragon Staff shadow has risen from the inside of the city gate!
"Your Highness has arrived."
Jiangmo Douluo's voice penetrated the city wall.
"Open the door to greet us!"
The knights responsible for blocking Crown Prince's Residence in the city had already fallen to the ground.
Jiang Mo holds Coiling Dragon Staff and takes a step forward again.
The third stick falls!
Boom!
The two city gates exploded outward at the same time.
The broken wood hit the ground, kicking up a large amount of dust.
Outside the city, Dugu Bo also raised his hand.
Green light pressed down from the sky.
The crossbowman on the city wall felt his body weaken and it became difficult to even stand.
"Enter the city."
Qian Renyuan got back into the car and drove.
The wheels rolled over the broken trees on the ground and drove straight into Heaven Dou City.
Xue Ye and Xue Qinghe follow closely behind.
Along the way, the soldiers saw Imperial Token, and then saw Xue Beng being tied up, and finally no longer hesitated.
The first soldier dropped his spear.
Second place, third place, more and more weapons fell on the ground.
On both sides of the streets in the city, a large number of defenders knelt on one knee.
Xue Xing stood on the tower, his face pale.
All the city defenses he had prepared turned into a joke!
"Stop them!"
Xue Xing Take a step back.
"I still have a palace! And Royal Shrine Guardians!"
"As long as we hold on to the palace, we still have a chance!"
But no one from the surrounding soldiers responded.
They just lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him again.
Xue Xing finally panicked.
He threw down his sword, turned around and rushed towards the back of the tower.
"Ready your horse!"
"Go back to the palace!"
Qian Renyuan raised his head and glanced at the palace in the distance.
Obviously, Xue Xing is still preparing to make one last struggle.
Hu Liena rode to the car window.
"Your Highness, do you need to seal off the whole city?"
"Seal the city gate."
Qian Renyuan spoke calmly.
"As for the palace..."
He looked at the defenders kneeling in front of him and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Clean up before dawn!"
