Thousands of morning glow reflected on the eastern half of Huangshi Mountain. It was a bright sunny day. However, wherever there was sun, there were shadows. The western foot of the mountain was dimly obscured by the shadows of the peaks.

On the blue-grey wild road, the old prince of Daning was swept up by a curtain of reeds like a beggar. His body was hastily thrown onto the horse, and he hurriedly left with the "escorting" team entering the palace.

The soldiers of Prince Ying's Mansion killed and dispersed the guards of the East Palace of Xuanjia Camp who were several times their own. The defeated troops retreated towards Xiaoyao Pond. Jingyong immediately returned to protect Prince Ying.

The government soldiers protected King Ying and quickly returned to Yong'an Gate, just as Yu Zhan led the Chifeng Battalion's army to arrive in time.

His army wanted to rush from the south of the imperial city to the north city, and the route they took was the longest. However, the troops led by Yu Zhan were agile and quick. When he saw the purple smoke signal rising outside the city from the southwest corner tower of the imperial city, he decisively killed him. Locking the door of the secret passage in the Imperial City, he led the troops and galloped northward from the two-person wide passage in the west wall.

When they came out of the secret passage to the west of Beicheng Gate, the city gate guard was about to unlock it. Yu Zhan rushed to the door first, killed the gate guard with a sword, and rushed out before the defenders could react.

Just as the Beichengmen defenders were about to intercept Yu Zhan, Wu Qiubei led the left army of the Chifeng Battalion to fight out. The rearguard of the Chifeng Battalion's center army returned and fought for a while, helping Wu Qiubei succeed. Capture Beichengmen and then pursue Yu Zhan.

Zhou Gang and the knights only captured the gatekeeper and the gate tower of Beicheng Gate, but a large number of officers and soldiers were still a threat. When Yu Zhan led his army to arrive at Yong'an Gate, the leaderless gatekeepers were preparing to attack the gate tower in groups, but they saw Chi Feng behind them. The battalion arrived, thinking that reinforcements had arrived, and their morale was briefly boosted. Before they could hold the knife firmly, their heads moved.

Zhou Gang led five gangs and twelve sects masters to ambush in private houses near Yong'an Gate in the early morning. After the city gate opened, he sent the prince's honor guard out of the city. Soon he saw the purple smoke signal rising outside the city. Capture Yongan Gate.

Zhong Xuan, who had just arrived yesterday, immediately forced Qi Xiao back at the palace and relieved King Ying from his troubles. Unexpectedly, he learned the news of the death of his sister Zhou Rou without even taking a sip of hot tea. He was filled with grief and anger. Jiaojia immediately asked for leave from King Ying and rushed to Linzhenfang to express his condolences.

After careful questioning, Daitong said the names Huimixuan and Qi Jun. Zhou Gang gritted his steel teeth and engraved these five words deeply in his heart. He was carrying a heavy burden on this trip, most of which were due to the friendship of the girl. , although he was sad, but for the sake of the overall situation, he did not delay before his sister's death, and led all the heroes to their duty station on time.

Yu Zhan took over the guard from Zhou Gang and immediately closed the door and locked it. King Ying repeatedly told him that the guards of the East Palace had gone to Xiaoyao Pond to report the news. Since then, this rock cannot be lost. Yu Zhan promised that as long as he lives, he will never let a living person in.

Zhou Gang led five gangs and twelve sects of knights to join the team entering the city. Yingying was even more powerful, and more than 200 knights rushed to Beichengmen.

The garrison at Beichengmen had been eliminated by the left army of the Chifeng Battalion led by Guan Qiubei. Seeing the arrival of King Ying's army, he opened the city gate and let them in. Then he blocked the land and the horses fell into a thousand-jin lock. The big thing failed and the defenders did not withdraw.

After passing the Imperial Garden, King Ying met with Dou Guankui's 500 fine cavalry from the right army of the Red Front Battalion outside the Jingmen of the inner city of the imperial city.

Dou Guankui's right-hand elite cavalry came out of the secret passage and had been confronting the Jingmen garrison for a long time. Jingmen is the north gate of the inner city. Once you enter this gate, you will find the imperial center inside. Therefore, it is guarded by the most elite goose-feather guards of the Royal Forest Army all year round.

At this moment, the Jingmen gate is tightly closed, and hundreds of goose-feather guards on the city tower are holding crossbows to fire at the formation. The soldiers of the Red Front Camp below the city are wearing ocher helmets and ocher armor, with phoenix eye protection on their faces, flaming horses under their crotches, and golden axes in their hands, which are burning like the phoenix divine feathers.

The morning glow is like fire, and the morning light is like blood. God seems to know that there will be a bloody storm in Daning's heart today, and specially arranged such coquettish colors as a foreshadowing. The gloomy figure of Huangshi Mountain suppresses most of Zhongxuan, as eager as the death of the god of death.

Longing for the nourishment of the undead. Mountain shadows cover Xiaoyao Pond, Yanzhou is as its name suggests, and it is eerily quiet.

King Ying came to the front of the formation and rushed out of the range of the Goose Feather Guards to shout: "The outer party is plotting to assassinate the Holy Emperor during the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven today. I have received a secret report and have led my elite troops to escort the King and attack the city as soon as possible.

The door is open!"

The generals who defended the city did not dare to be careless and respectfully shouted to King Ying: "I am sorry for the rudeness of this official, but the inner city will not be opened unless it is the emperor's decree!"

"According to the king's report, several traitors have infiltrated the palace. They may have launched an attack at this time. If the Holy Master makes any mistakes, can you afford the punishment?"

The generals who defended the city were in a dilemma. On the one hand, they politely stopped King Ying, but on the other hand, they quickly sent people to the palace to report.

King Ying could not afford to waste any more time. Seeing that verbal punishment was of no use, he changed his army to attack.

"If the Goose Feather Guards block the rescue, they will be shot to death!"

Prince Ying's soldiers fired their bows and arrows at the city, covering the Chifeng camp, climbing the wall and knocking on the door.

There were only a hundred Goose Fei Guards defenders, and they were immediately suppressed by the rain of arrows. They had to take the time to fire crossbows behind the battlements to fight back. Soon the soldiers of the Chifeng Battalion climbed to the top of the city and fought in a melee with the Goose Feather Guards.

The Goose Feather Guards have strong close combat capabilities. Although their number is small, they did not allow the Red Front Battalion to approach the door lock. The war was tense for a while. The Red Front Battalion was quite damaged, and the Goose Feather Guards were struggling to support themselves.

The spies sent by the Goose Guards hurried back and reported to the generals who defended the city that there was really trouble in Ouchi. A strong man who came from nowhere actually captured the emperor, and he was now surrounded by the Goose Guards in Ningshen Temple.

The general who defended the city panicked and immediately ordered the Goose Feather Guards to stop fighting, opened the city gate and let King Ying into the palace, and informed King Ying of the surprise in the palace.

King Ying took the lead and removed the weapons for defense, wondering where he was.

He originally wanted to bluff the Goose Feather Guard with the words "there is a traitor inside" and get him to open the inner door. Who could have imagined that the joke actually came true? Who dared to hijack the car?

It is useless to worry too much. Sooner or later, we will go in. King Ying left a hundred Chifeng battalions to guard Jingmen, and then led his army to rush to Ningshen Temple.

Ningshen Temple is the Emperor's Pen and Ink Palace. It is to the west of Chengji Hall and to the east of the harem courtyards. A small and exquisite pavilion is sandwiched between the tall and magnificent Chengji Hall and the stacked West Palace.

King Ying was about to arrive in an instant, and from a distance he saw that the three floors outside the Ning Temple were surrounded by fully armed guards in yellow robes. The important ministers in the court, dressed in dark red court uniforms, looked panicked and were kept out of the encirclement.

, one by one looked anxiously into the hall, and the air around the hall seemed to have condensed into a heavy gray and black haze.

King Ying's army and horses loudly announced: "King Ying is here to escort you!"

The Goose Feather Guards, including all the civil and military officials, were only paying attention to the situation in Ningshen Temple. When they heard that King Ying was coming, they didn't worry too much. Instead, they all secretly rejoiced that with Daning's God-given general here, the Holy Emperor would be able to avert danger.

Ningshen Temple has double inner and outer walls. The outer wall is light and thick, with yellow pear wood as the shell and filled with down. The leaves are open for ventilation in summer and closed in winter, which has a good effect of heat preservation and cooling. The inner wall is hollowed out in mahogany, and is surrounded by seals engraved with pictures of hundreds of immortals offering longevity.

, the summer breeze blows through the hall, which is extremely cool.

This place was originally Huanglong Emperor Gao Kan's favorite place to stay for a study break, but at this moment, the assassins used it as a place to imprison the dragon. There were more than ten goose-feather guards lying down in the palace, and on the imperial couch, one person was holding him hostage from behind.

, the eagle claws pressed Gao Kan's throat, forcing the courtiers, eunuchs and maids to stay seven steps away.
