A soldier turned around and asked, "Zhuangzi, what are you doing? Why don't you hurry up and follow us?"

Wushuang lowered his voice and said vaguely: "People have three urgent needs. I won't follow you!"

The soldier gave her a confused look: "Why has your voice changed?"

Wushuang coughed a few times to cover up and said, "Oh, I caught a cold at night!"

The soldier sighed: "There is a mutiny in the palace. The prince is impatient and travels day and night. The brothers can hardly bear it. I don't know if they can survive this return!"

Wushuang pulled up his snow cap and said hoarsely: "Those in our profession have their heads hung on their belts and are ready to die at any time. It's useless to mention this, it will only add to the sadness."

The man was silent, slapped the horse's butt hard, and started running wildly.

Because they were on their way urgently, this group of guards did nothing else except eat and take a rest.

Tang Shaoyuan's expression was solemn, his eyebrows were furrowed, he ate very little, and hurried away as soon as he finished eating, so he didn't notice that a new face had been added to his team unexpectedly.

Thanks to Wushuang's forced training in the palace, this body could barely withstand the fatigue of these days. Otherwise, she would have fallen down now, let alone protecting Tang Shaoyuan's safety.

The group traveled day and night for three days and three nights, and finally arrived in Southern Tang Dynasty.

The declining Southern Tang Dynasty has obviously improved through the efforts of this generation of monarchs.

Although it was snowing heavily, there were very few beggars on the road, and every house was closed and renovated. You could tell at a glance that it was a house with plenty of food.

The closer we get to the Datang Palace, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the more tense and solemn the atmosphere becomes.

The thick city wall has stood majestically for thousands of years, witnessing the succession of several generations of monarchs and the rise and fall of dynasties.

At this moment, there were heavy soldiers guarding it, the city gate was tightly closed, and two huge bronze locks with animal heads were like two sinful eyes, looking at this group of less than a few thousand soldiers with eager eyes.

Tang Shaoyuan rode a black horse, clapped his horse forward, and gave a slight signal.

A guard with a loud voice shouted with great enthusiasm: "The prince returns to the palace and opens the city gate!"

The snowflakes fell silently, and the hot breath hit the water droplets on Tang Shaoyuan's brow.

His right hand was holding the hilt of the sword tightly, with protruding veins and tight lips.

We originally expected to encounter resistance, but to our surprise, the city gate slowly opened.

"Prince, for fear of an ambush, don't enter the city easily!"

A middle-aged man who looked like a military advisor said softly.

Tang Shaoyuan sneered and raised his voice: "This is the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty, where I was born. The soldiers guarding the city are all brothers of this prince. What do I have to be afraid of!"

After Tang Shaoyuan finished speaking, he glanced at the guard who walked out of the city wall. The guard waved his hand: "Welcome the prince back to the city!"

The sound of horses' hooves trampling on the snow made a dull sound, and the group slowly entered the city gate.

Wushuang couldn't help but frown. Her naturally sharp sixth sense made her feel that danger was coming quietly.

As soon as the group entered the city, the heavy city gate was slowly closed.

With a bang, the gate was closed tightly, and the soldiers guarding the city suddenly drew their swords and slowly approached the crowd.

The guard following Tang Shaoyuan quickly pulled out the sword from his waist and glared at the soldiers surrounding him.

"Hahaha——" Unbridled laughter came, and two young men in brocade clothes looked down at Tang Shaoyuan, with a look of pride on their faces that could not be concealed.

"Brother, you came back too late!" A man with gloomy eyes and hard lines said slowly: "My father issued an edict last night to pass the throne to me!"

Tang Shaoyuan snorted coldly, made a nasal sound, and said lightly: "Second brother, my father was still fine when I left. Why did he fall seriously ill in a few days and change the imperial edict? I'm afraid you and third brother are working together to plot.

Let us usurp the throne! Release your father as soon as possible, otherwise——"

Another handsome young man smiled and said: "Brother, what else are you going to do?" The third prince changed the subject and said sternly: "The prince disobeys the edict and resists the decree. Someone comes and takes him down!"

Despite his young age, he is as beautiful as a flower, but his face changes faster than the sky.

The general guarding the city received the order and led his soldiers to heavily surround Tang Shaoyuan.

"Wait a minute!" Tang Shaoyuan looked around and said word by word: "I, Tang Shaoyuan, was born as a member of the Southern Tang Dynasty and died as a ghost of the Southern Tang Dynasty. I defend the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the land of the Southern Tang Dynasty. To my brothers,

, I am extremely affectionate, I am never indebted to my officers and men, and my actions are worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, so how can I resist and disobey orders?"

"Brother Imperial, is it too late for you to say such beautiful words to win sympathy?" the second prince said in a sinister tone.

Tang Shaoyuan's narrow phoenix eyes flashed with anger. He stared at the second prince fiercely and tore the brocade sleeves on his hands with a hiss, revealing a long and narrow arrow mark on his arm.

When the second prince saw this scar, his color changed slightly.

Tang Shaoyuan said word by word: "Tang Ling, in the autumn of last year you led troops to attack Tufan, but you were ambushed by mistake and were trapped in the Tufan desert for seven days and nights. I was ordered to lead troops to rescue you, but after many dangers, my arm was poisoned.

The arrow almost cost me my life before I saved you. Do you remember this scar?"

The second prince Tang Ling's face muscles twitched, he turned his head away and did not answer.

Tang Shaoyuan looked at the general who came to fetch him and said sternly: "Ma Chaonan, you have followed this prince in many battles in the north and south, and have made great contributions on several occasions. It was this prince who single-handedly promoted you from an unknown soldier, do you remember?

"

General Ma hesitated and said, "General, I will remember!"

He looked at the youngest third prince again, and his tone softened: "Tang Di, you and I are brothers and sisters, so why would you do such a thing of killing each other?"

Listening to Tang Shaoyuan's description, Wushuang's bad impression of him slightly changed. It turned out that he was just an apprentice.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a young prince who was affectionate, righteous, brave and resourceful!

The third prince Tang Di said disdainfully: "In the imperial family, there has always been only a struggle for power and no family ties. It's your own wife's benevolence, who can blame you?"

The pain in Tang Shaoyuan's eyes flashed away, and then became as indifferent as water.

He drew out his long sword and lifted up a corner of his brocade robe.

brush!

A white light flashed, and the broken clothes were flying in the wind and snow, like a huge snowflake.

The young prince stood like an ice sculpture in the wind and snow, sheathing his sword, his voice penetrated the snowflakes, like ten thousand years of black ice, and the cold air was overwhelming.

"In this case, the relationship between you and me as brothers will be terminated from now on, and we will live and die according to our destiny!"

Tang Lingpi smiled and said: "It's just right, kill him!"

"Kill kill kill!!!"

As the military order was issued, archers, shield bearers, and sword and ax bearers all took their positions one by one.

Thousands of sharp arrows and axes reflected cold white light in the white snow, like the sharp teeth of wild beasts, ready to engulf these thousands of insignificant soldiers at any time!

No matter how much friendship there is, no matter how great the life-saving grace is, it is difficult to resist the temptation of power and wealth!

Born into a ruthless imperial family, the emperor is ruthless towards his concubines. Even his own flesh and blood brothers will inevitably kill each other just to ascend to the position of emperor that is admired by thousands of people.

"Set up the formation!" Tang Shaoyuan's military advisor calmly ordered.

"Got the order!"

Thousands of soldiers faced the powerful enemy without showing any sign of retreat. Instead, they all displayed their weapons and quickly formed a circle with Tang Shaoyuan as the center. They held a sword in their left hand and a shield in their right hand, surrounding him in the middle.

!

Wushuang observed the position and deliberately chose a place closest to Tang Shaoyuan to face the enemy head-on.

"Everyone, listen to me, even if we fight to the last moment, we must ensure the safety of the prince!" the military advisor said sternly.

Before he finished speaking, Tang Di smiled softly and said lightly: "Shoot!"

In an instant, thousands of silver arrows shot towards Tang Shaoyuan like meteors.

"block!"

The order was issued, and thousands of soldiers raised their shields to form a sealed space, blocking Tang Shaoyuan in the middle.

Wushuang felt his hand feel heavy, and the arrow hit the shield heavily, making a snapping sound, like a rain of arrows.

The solid shield has been dented after this round of shooting.

But they were not allowed to breathe, as the second wave of shooting followed!

Although the soldiers were strong, they had no power to fight back in the dense firing range.

Moreover, many shields had been shot through, and soldiers fell down from time to time.

This is not the way to go!

Wushuang thrust his shield into the hands of a soldier and shouted sternly: "Cover me!"

Tang Shaoyuan watched this short soldier draw his bow and aim at Tang Ling's soldiers, and couldn't help shouting: "You are crazy!"

Wushuang said in a cold voice: "If you rush out, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you stay here, you can only wait for death!"

Tang Shaoyuan took a deep breath and said, "I will protect you!"

The light in his eyes was as bright as stars, and his black pupils reflected the rain of arrows as dense as bees and locusts. His expression was cold and full of murderous intent, like a tiger about to come out of its hole!

If this person is tempered, he will definitely become a general and a prime minister!

Before Tang Shaoyuan finished sighing, he heard a scream from the opponent's formation!

Wushuang had already shot the black arrow from his sleeve.
