Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Lin Xiaoyue did not know the emperor of Tiansheng. However, the man opposite her, who was nearly forty years old, had a broad forehead, a sharp face, and a fierce and sinister look, and was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, in this ancient time that symbolized nobility and majesty, it was clear that the man who could wear a yellow robe had a noble identity.

Emperor Tiansheng's eyes first flashed with a trace of astonishment, and then turned into overwhelming anger and majesty. He stared with wide eyes at the dozens of uninvited guests in front of him who were dressed in black, acting furtively, and hiding their heads and tails. His lips trembled slightly.

"How dare you! Who dares to trespass into the imperial palace? Come! Protect the emperor!" Emperor Tiansheng's roar was particularly loud in the night rain.

The eunuch beside him was terrified, his face turned pale, and he shouted quickly: "Protect the emperor! Someone come to protect the emperor!" His voice was sharp and urgent.

At the same time, the dark guards who were hiding in the dark suddenly appeared like ghosts. They were dressed in black fire suits, holding sharp blades, and quickly rushed towards the direction of Emperor Tianshan.

Lin Xiaoyue's heart tightened, but she did not hesitate at all. Her eyes flashed and she pounced on Emperor Tiansheng as agilely as a cheetah.

At the same time, the crossbow in his hand shot out, quickly knocking down all the eunuchs and guards around the emperor.

The other hand stretched out like a snake and accurately strangled Emperor Tiansheng's neck.

Emperor Tiansheng struggled hard, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness. But Lin Xiaoyue's power was so great that Emperor Tiansheng felt that if the other party exerted force, he would be torn apart immediately.

"Let me go now, otherwise, I will exterminate all nine generations of your clan." Emperor Tiansheng had never been so humiliated before, and he immediately flew into a rage and shouted loudly.

Being stared at by the king with a cold gaze, if it were anyone else, they would have already lost their legs and begged for mercy. But Lin Xiaoyue was not afraid at all, she smiled at her maliciously and shot several arrows with her backhand.

swish swish

With the sound of crossbow arrows piercing flesh, the three secret guards who rushed over instantly fell in a pool of blood, their eyes wide open with anger, the light in their eyes gradually dissipated, and the crossbow arrows hitting their heads also silently announced their death.

Lin Xiaoyue's silent threat made a trace of fear flash across Emperor Tiansheng's eyes, but he still stared at Lin Xiaoyue stubbornly.

The guards were also busy, fighting fiercely with the secret guards who rushed towards him waving swords.

The sword flashed and the rain was splashed everywhere.

Lin Xiaoyue controlled Emperor Tiansheng while observing the situation around her. She knew that they had to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

With the guards' strenuous resistance and the fact that the other side was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, the guards used the advantages of the improved bows and crossbows to quickly achieve a surprise victory and eliminated all the secret guards around Emperor Tiansheng before being discovered by more guards and coming to reinforce them.

Lin Xiaoyue took the opportunity to hold Emperor Tiansheng hostage and ran in one direction.

They shuttled through the darkness, dodging the enemies that kept pouring in. Emperor Tiansheng struggled restlessly from time to time, trying to call for help. Lin Xiaoyue endured it again and again, and after two attempts, in order to get rid of the problem once and for all, she simply chopped him unconscious with a single knife.

As everyone watched, Emperor Tiansheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat as his head tilted and he fell to the ground.

Ward: Oh my God, he didn't just kill him, did he?

Lin Xiaoyue picked up Emperor Tiansheng and carried him on her shoulder like a dead pig: No, he is still useful, keep him for now.

The Seventh Uncle swallowed his saliva and gave Lin Xiaoyue a thumbs up: Awesome.

The rest of the people were silent, and expressed their deep admiration for Lin Xiaoyue's unceremonious approach of knocking out Emperor Tiansheng.

Without Emperor Tiansheng who kept shooting arrows at them from time to time and was in their way, the group wasted no time and rushed left and right in the palace. Finally, they found a relatively weak spot and quickly fled from the chaotic palace before the enemy discovered that their emperor had been abducted, disappearing into the night...

More than half an hour later, the news that all the eunuchs and secret guards around Emperor Tiansheng were killed swept through the entire palace like a hurricane. The ministers rushed in panic, all of them with pale faces.

The palace suddenly became a mess. Eunuchs ran around and shouted, and the palace maids trembled with fear. The cries and shouts were intertwined.

The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Someone stood up and boldly suggested that the city gates be quickly blocked and a city-wide search be conducted.

So the order was issued quickly, and the soldiers poured out of the palace like a tide and rushed to the city gates.

As the four city gates in the east, west, south and north were closed tightly, the whole city suddenly fell into panic.

The people were frightened by this sudden change and didn't know what to do. Some timid people quickly hid in their homes and closed their doors tightly, fearing that they would be involved in this storm.

Merchants hurriedly packed up their goods, fearing that their property would be damaged.

The children were held tightly in the arms of their adults, their eyes full of fear.

In the name of catching spies, the soldiers knocked on doors and searched every house at night.

But apart from causing panic and unrest among the people, nothing was achieved. Not to mention the figure of a suspicious person, not even a single thug was caught.

What they didn't know was that Lin Xiaoyue and his group didn't return to the inn with the captured Emperor Tiansheng, but went straight to the forest outside the city where the hang glider was hidden.

By the time the Tiansheng Imperial City was in chaos and a carpet search was launched, causing unrest among the people, they had already flown hundreds of miles away on hang gliders.

……

It has been half a month since everyone left Sangguo Town.

During this period, the Crown Prince and the Seventh Uncle were nowhere to be seen in Sangguo Town, Gucheng Pass, or even Shuanglong Pass, causing the entire army to feel uneasy.

The third prince took the opportunity to leave the White Tiger Pass and return to Shuanglong Pass on his own, claiming that no one was in charge of the situation, in an attempt to seize the military power in the hands of his seventh uncle and develop his own power.

But except for General Shen Zhigao (one of the five generals), none of the generals believed the Third Prince.

They all fought their way up from the lowest level of soldiers. The other three generals still value loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness in their hearts. Even if the Seventh Uncle is not around, they are only loyal to orthodoxy, to Dayuan and to the one on the Dragon Rider.

Therefore, the third prince took the opportunity to seize power, which was considered disloyal and unrighteous in their eyes.

As for Shen Zhigao, who had defected early on, he was born in a noble family in the imperial city and was the uncle of the third prince. There was a natural and inseparable interest relationship between the two. He had never been on the same side as the other three generals, so the three veteran generals did not buy into Shen Zhigao's account at all.

However, with the fighting at the top, the young generals below will still be more or less uneasy due to the lack of a leader and the spread of various rumors in the army. In addition, with some people fanning the flames, internal friction is naturally inevitable.

The pressure of the disappearance of the emperor's uncle and the prince, coupled with the pressure from the two countries' allied forces and internal and external troubles, will more or less cause instability in the military morale.
