Chapter 2096: Rebellion in the Imperial Prison! (1/2)
Wang Chong raised his head, countless thoughts running through his mind.
His sense of unease was growing stronger and stronger.
Was there such a coincidental thing in the world?
He had just come out from under the imperial prison, and Huang Xiaotian, who was in close contact with Li Linfu, happened to be in charge of the imperial prison.
He then recalled the various doubts he had about his meeting just now with Li Xuantu…
”Not good!”
Wang Chong's face scowled as he finally understood what was going on.
”Stay here. I need to go to the imperial prison!”
After saying this, Wang Chong immediately turned around and rushed back to the golden gates of the palace.
I hope it's not what I think!
Wang Chong's unease had reached the maximum.
But before Wang Chong could even get close to the palace gates…
Boom!
An explosion came from deep within the Imperial Palace, from the direction of the imperial prison, and it seemed like the earth itself was about to sunder open.
Wang Chong came to a shuddering stop, and behind him, Zhang Que and Xu Keyi both turned in alarm toward the explosion.
The two of them didn't understand what was going on, but it was clear that this frightening explosion boded ill.
Creee!
A sharp whistle pierced through the air, and up ahead, the frozen Wang Chong suddenly accelerated to one hundred times his previous speed, shooting through the palace gates and toward the explosion.
”Kill!”
”Hahaha, this old man is finally free!”
A few moments later, the sounds of fighting and chaos came from the inner court of the Imperial Palace.
……
The imperial prison within the inner court should have been heavily guarded, but it was now in complete disarray, the bodies of guards scattered across the ground and the buildings rendered into debris.
Amidst the ruins, a powerful energy shot out of the earth, tearing open a giant fissure.
”I'm out, hahaha! I'm finally out!
”Brothers, kill!
”To be imprisoned in the imperial prison is just another kind of death! Since we're going to die anyway, it would be better to join this old man and overthrow this Great Tang!”
Brazen laughter came from under the earth.
A stalwart figure with a bald head, bulging muscles, and a naked upper body jumped out of the earth, holding a thick chain in one hand.
His eyes were savage, his left hand clenching the body of an imperial prison guard.
”Brothers, come with me! Let's go all out today so that we didn't live our lives in vain!
”If we can start some trouble in the Imperial Palace, then even if we die, we'll die as true men!”
The man swung around his chain and wildly laughed.
”Haha, charge!”
A roar like a tsunami came from behind him, and countless more death row prisoners like the bald man charged out of the collapsed imperial prison.
The majority of these people had committed monstrous crimes and had been either awaiting execution or imprisoned for life.
In short, they were all extremely evil people.
”Kill!”
With this one order, these savage prisoners charged out.
Small battles were taking place all over the imperial prison, but the sounds of fighting faded as the prison guards were pushed back.
”Reporting!”
One of the stronger prisoners came charging back with a panicked expression on his face.
”Bad news! The Imperial Army is coming in around us!”
If one carefully listened, one could hear clattering armor. The explosion in the imperial prison had alarmed the Imperial Army, and their torches lit up the night as they marched.
