At this time, the palace gate was wide open, and civil and military officials entered one after another, standing in the square in front of the hall. The idle censors were like chicken blood, jumping up and down to inspect the rules and regulations. Even if someone spits phlegm, they would be recorded. Yang Bin, Shi Hongzhao, Wang Zhang and other three ministers of the regent naturally did not have to stand in the square and get caught in the wind. They walked towards Guangzheng Hall as usual, preparing to meet today's proposal in advance and discuss it.

At this time, Liu Chengyou was standing in front of the dragon chaise in Guangzheng Hall, put on a full set of armor for the first time, and a sword Liu Zhiyuan used when he raised the army in Taiyuan was hanging around his waist. He kept paced back and forth in front of the dragon chaise, and it was difficult for him to calm down.[]

Li Ye stood below the jade stairs, looking like he was loyal to protect the master, but with his small body influenced by wine and sex, he probably couldn't even defeat a soldier, let alone a powerful general like Shi Hongzhao. However, Zhao Kuangyin stood there very calmly, but he held the right hand of the knife from time to time, betraying his inner tension.

At this time, an eunuch who was looking out at the crack in the door suddenly whispered: "Yang Bin and the others are here!"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Chengyou stood up nervously, put his right hand on the hilt of the sword, and Li Ye trembled a few times, and quickly held the railing beside him. Zhao Kuangyin, who was responsible for the specific action, stepped forward and looked quietly through the crack in the door. It was Yang Bing and the other two.

Zhao Kuangyin immediately shouted in a low voice: "Prepare for battle, everyone should pay attention to deal with the tall Shi Hongzhao first, so as not to be escaped by him. As for Yang Bin and Wang Zhang, they are all literati and there is no big threat!"

Although Li Ye was useless to drink, sex and money, he was useless, but at this moment, he lowered his throat and trembled and encouraged: "Your Majesty has made a great reward. As long as you work hard today, you can enjoy the glory and wealth of your life! Whether it is a beautiful wine or a poor person, it depends on your next action!"

Everyone was even more motivated by Li Ye’s encouragement. The drinking of courage had played a role in drinking it earlier, making everyone’s cheeks red, and their eyes showed uncontrollable ambitions and desires.

Everyone stared at Yang Bing and the other two outside the hall, watching them step by step. At this moment, Shi Hongzhao suddenly called out, and the three of them stopped immediately. It turned out that Shi Hongzhao was a long-time general after all, and had a very keen intuition about danger. The closer he approached the Guangzheng Hall, the more inappropriate he felt. And as usual, the gate of Guangzheng Hall should be wide open, and there should be eunuchs on duty nearby. Why is the gate of the hall closed now and there are no eunuchs on duty around?!

The more Shi Hongzhao thought about it, the more wrong it became, especially when he quickly thought of Yan Jinqing's confidant who came to see him in a code language, and he felt even more uneasy. So he immediately shouted, "Sir Yang, something is wrong here!"

After hearing this, Yang Bin and Wang Zhang were very surprised. This was the inner courtyard of the palace. How could there be any inappropriate things? Even the hero who was flying over the eaves and walls would never break through the numerous defense lines of the guardian army!

When Shi Hongzhao stopped, the ambushers in Guangzheng Hall were shocked. Zhao Kuangyin knew very well about Shi Hongzhao and others' prestige in the army. If they were asked to cheer up, maybe there would be soldiers in the palace who would blindly follow their orders. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone is drunk now, it is a good time to take action.

Zhao Kuangyin shouted loudly, "Do it!" and pulled out his waist knife and rushed to the front. When Zhao Kuangyin rushed, his more than ten guards rushed out immediately, and the remaining people were confidants carefully selected by Zhao Kuangyin, so they naturally rushed out and rushed towards Yang Bing and the other two.

When Yang Bin and others saw the sudden opening of the gate of Guangzheng Hall, dozens of fully armed soldiers rushed out of the inside. Although they were not hard-working scholars without any power, they were not the King of Western Chu who was fighting against thousands of troops. Moreover, there were no weapons on hand and no entourage guards on hand, how could they resist?!

Shi Hongzhao first reacted, turned around and ran westward. There was a small side hall there, where the guards rested daily, and there should be weapons and armor. The most important thing is that it was closest to the palace gate, so you could call his subordinates to come to escort the guards loudly. As long as you break through the encirclement, you could mobilize the guards’ personal army and the horse army capital to suppress the rebels in the palace!

Shi Hongzhao's abacus was very good, but Zhao Kuangyin and others' primary goal was him. How could he let him go easily? Seeing Shi Hongzhao running west, Zhao Kuangyin's soldiers had no time to shoot arrows, and they threw out their swords in their hands. Three swords were inserted into Shi Hongzhao's body. Although there were armor blocking him and the flesh was not deep, it also affected Shi Hongzhao's movement.

Shi Hongzhao gritted his teeth and pulled out one of the waist knives. Before he could run two steps, he was surrounded by Zhao Kuangyin.

Seeing that he could not escape smoothly, Shi Hongzhao stood there. After a brief look, he found that Liu Chengyou was standing in front of the hall with his body covered in his arms, and he couldn't help but feel very hatred. Shi Hongzhao said angrily: "Little Emperor, we and the three of us tried our best to assist you and help you settle down. You are now repaid with grudges, and you are really not a son!"

When it came to the emperor, Zhao Kuangyin quickly turned around and saw that the emperor had no intention of answering, so he immediately ordered: "Give it all for me!"

Shi Hongzhao looked at him with contempt and rebuked angrily: "No wonder the guy who helps the evildoer is suppressed by Daoan! You ungrateful wolf, why didn't I beat you a few more military sticks back then?"

When Shi Hongzhao pointed out the most annoying thing in his heart, Zhao Kuangyin would not be polite and was the first to rush forward.

Shi Hongzhao repeatedly used words to inspire each other, just to make them lose their minds and reveal flaws. Seeing Zhao Kuangyin step forward, Shi Hongzhao sneered in his heart, and ignored Zhao Kuangyin's attack, raised his steel knife and chopped him on Zhao Kuangyin.

Seeing that Shi Hongzhao had been surrounded, how could Zhao Kuangyin fight with him? He quickly dodged away.

Shi Hongzhao is worthy of being a powerful general for many years. With a flash of sword light, he has taken two lives in a row! At this moment, two screams came from the side. It turned out that Yang Bin and Wang Zhang had been killed by random swords. Although Shi Hongzhao had an average relationship with the two, he was also a little sad, and the steel knife in his hand revealed a small flaw.

Zhao Kuangyin saw it and didn't say anything. He suddenly returned and stabbed forward, and then cut off Shi Hongzhao's armor with one stroke. Shi Hongzhao was about to resist, but he was stabbed twice behind him. He staggered and was falling on Zhao Kuangyin's knife.

Zhao Kuangyin was not polite and used his strength to force the knife. The tip of the knife suddenly came out of Shi Hongzhao's back. Seeing that Shi Hongzhao was still trying hard, Zhao Kuangyin quickly let go of his right hand, jumped back, and retreated into the crowd.

Shi Hongzhao was hit several times in succession and lost the strength to resist. He cursed angrily with the knife and said, "Liu Chengyou, Zhao Kuangyin, I, Shi Hongzhao, are waiting for you on the road to the underworld!"
