Chapter 348 There's a Time Traveler in the Palace (40)
In the stillness of the night, a group of people were walking along the streets of the imperial city.

This was a very orderly and well-organized army. They advanced in silence, making no extra sound except for the rhythmic clatter of hooves and footsteps.

Tonight, the sky is covered with dark clouds, obscuring the moonlight.

The advancing troops were completely shrouded in shadow, perfectly suited to the mission they were about to undertake.

The group moved through rows of buildings and through dimly lit streets, their destination clear.

royal palace.

This is a small door on the side of the palace.

An inside agent, who was already prepared, opened the door and let the team in.

The long procession passed through the small gate; roughly counting them, there were more than three thousand people.

This team is definitely considered a lot, even within the imperial city.

It should be noted that normally, any army with more than 200 men is never allowed to enter the imperial city without the emperor's approval.

The total number of Jinling Army soldiers in the palace is less than five thousand. During the day, they were ordered to go out of the city to suppress bandits and capture the Hulian tribe. Now, there are only more than two thousand left in the palace.

There were about a thousand city defense troops inside and outside the imperial city, and there were also imperial troops stationed ten miles outside the city.

However, if a rebellion breaks out in the palace, the rebels only need to block a few entrances and exits, making it difficult for the troops outside to enter.

Moreover, it would be too far away for them to reach the palace. By the time the people outside the palace arrived, everything inside the palace might have already been settled.

Moreover, a small unit within the Golden Army has already defected.

The traitorous leader opened the door for Huang Wenqin and let his men in.

The area around the small gate was full of their own people, so Huang Wenqin and his group entered very smoothly.

They encountered no obstacles, which seemed to indicate that things would proceed as planned.

Where is Huang Yanqin?

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince are still in Chongyun Palace."

Huang Wenqin sneered, "Heh, at least he has some self-awareness. He knows that his position is not legitimate and he doesn't dare to sit on the throne. He only dares to cower in his own palace!"

"My dear brother, how dare you covet this position? Wait for your elder brother to claim it!"

After speaking, Huang Wenqin made military deployments.

A group of people went to Wanle Palace to capture Consort Qin, which they could then use as leverage to threaten Huang Yanqin.

Furthermore, she forced Consort Qin to change her story, claiming that she and Eunuch Guo had conspired to kill the Emperor that day and had falsely conveyed the imperial edict.

Most people followed Huang Wenqin directly to Chongyun Palace to punish the regicide Huang Yanqin!

They split into two groups, and everyone set off in a grand procession.

Huang Wenqin ignored Qin Fei. In his opinion, such a frail woman couldn't possibly cause any trouble.

It must have been Huang Yanqin's idea to be able to seize the throne before everyone else.

He was somewhat surprised, realizing that he might have underestimated his younger brother in the past.

How could she be a kind and harmless innocent girl?
He was clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing, deceiving everyone with his innocent appearance all along.

He deceived the court officials, deceived his father, and even deceived his own brother!
Huang Wenqin grew angrier the more he thought about it. He just wanted to grab Huang Yanqin as soon as possible and give him a good beating to show him who was in charge.

Chongyun Palace is located to the east of the Imperial Palace, in a relatively remote location.

Teachers and tutors would come to teach the princes. Although the princes were young, people in this era were generally precocious.

Therefore, to avoid suspicion, the palaces of the princes on the east side were located some distance away from the other concubines.

Starting from the small gate, Huang Wenqin encountered no obstacles on his way to Chongyun Palace.

It went so well.

The mole in the Golden Army was clearly only a small team, yet he remained undetected throughout the entire operation.

Perhaps even Heaven is on his side. Rebellion, by its very nature, requires a certain amount of luck.

Along the palace road, there was a palace lantern on each side at intervals. Huang Wenqin rode on a tall horse and looked around by the dim light of the lanterns.

The moon was obscured by dark clouds, and apart from these dim palace lanterns, there was no other light.

As he walked, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

It seemed too quiet around us.

The palace road is flanked by long, high walls. A large entourage walks along them, and because it is so quiet, you can even hear the echo of their footsteps.

Logically speaking, the late emperor had just passed away, and his body was still warm before he was buried.

The new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, and the country is at its most vulnerable time. How could the palace be so poorly guarded?

Even if half of the elite troops were temporarily transferred away, and there was also a defector unit, the remaining troops are all elites. Shouldn't we be more vigilant?
Huang Wenqin's heart skipped a beat. He was just about to warn everyone to be careful when he suddenly heard a series of whooshing sounds as the wind broke through the air.

There is an enemy attack!
Huang Wenqin didn't have time to shout; he could only roll down on the ground to dodge the arrows that were being shot at him.

However, just when they had dodged one wave, another one came.

Without a second thought, Huang Wenqin's confidants shouted, "Protect the Crown Prince!"

Meanwhile, some people gravitated towards him, forming a human wall around him.

At this moment, there were rows of guards on the high walls on both sides, holding bows and arrows and shooting arrows inward continuously.

The rain of arrows was dense and overwhelming.

The people inside the walls were like turtles trapped in a jar, caught completely off guard.

Little did they know, an ambush had been laid all around them.

Huang Wenqin's first reaction was, "We've fallen into a trap. Could there be a traitor among us?"

He raced forward, his mind rapidly filtering through potential candidates, surrounded by his confidants.

After their desperate resistance and dodging, they finally reached the end of the palace path.

There is a locked wooden door here.

According to the plan, the person waiting inside would unlock the door.

The leader tried pushing the door, and surprisingly, he actually managed to open it.

Without much thought, they immediately passed through the door and went inside.

The terrain inside the palace road is too low-lying and unsuitable for combat. They need to leave now and go to an open area.

So the group filed into the doorway.

Behind the gate is a garden, and beyond that garden lies Chongyun Palace.

Huang Wenqin and his confidants rushed through the door and hurried towards the garden, followed by others.

However, before half of the people had even arrived, a large group of people suddenly rushed out from both sides of the door, blocking their way.

They killed the person by the door, then closed the door and locked it from the inside.

Huang Wenqin's troops were immediately split in two.

The sudden attack by arrows caused them to lose five or six hundred men in no time.

The remaining two thousand-plus people were then divided into two groups.

Divide them up and defeat them one by one.

It seems that Huang Yanqin was prepared, and that he had a strategist behind him.
