A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Chapter 379: King Xiaoyao breaks the city

King Xiaoyao came with several thousand men and horses, intending to attack the city. Meeting Zhang Hu's men was just an accident. Because according to his plan, Yang Zhi should still be in Luo's mansion at this time. Maybe he was resting in the land of gentleness after having a good meal and a good drink!

The other people in the barracks were busy putting out the fire and had no time to take care of other things.

He didn't expect that he would meet these people again!

After this delay, it was almost dark.

Of course, the gates of the capital city are heavily guarded and can be said to be impregnable. It is impossible for the few thousand people led by King Xiaoyao to capture it easily.

But it would be different if there was an insider!

Han Qingshan was only the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, while the Imperial Guards also had a commander named Luo Chong, who was Luo Xiang's cousin.

Their Luo family had already become King Xiaoyao's people, which was why King Xiaoyao married Zhao Xinger to Luo Xiang.

When Han Qingshan led several thousand imperial guards to fight the enemy at the palace gate, Luo Chong did not bring the rest of the imperial guards to support him. Of course, even if they did, they were supporting the opponent, not themselves.

Besides, Luo Chong had another mission, which was to wait until King Xiaoyao attacked the city, and then he would lead his men to attack from inside the city, cooperate with the outside forces, and capture the city gate in one fell swoop.

No matter how strong the guards are, they will be vulnerable if there is a traitor within.

Therefore, it took King Xiaoyao less than two hours to capture the city gate. In other words, except for the imperial palace, the entire capital was captured by King Xiaoyao.

In the palace, it was already getting dark, but there was no movement in the imperial study.

The people outside couldn't remain in a stalemate like this, so after some discussion, Chen Zheng, the brother of the little mustache, and the short man Wang Tianyou decided that Wang Tianyou would negotiate with the emperor on how to exchange Prince Rui and the crown prince.

"Old Emperor, please come out. Your crown prince is in our hands. If you release Prince Rui, we will also release the crown prince. How do you think?"

Wang Tianyou shouted as he approached the imperial study. His words were quite impolite, because in his opinion, this dynasty would soon belong to their prince, and he didn't need to save face for Emperor Qiyuan!

However, he shouted several times, but there was still no movement in the imperial study.

Wang Tianyou felt something was wrong. He turned around and said to Chen Zheng, "What's going on? There seems to be no one inside?"

Chen Zheng frowned and said, "Let's go in and take a look!"

"Ok!"

Wang Tianyou nodded, he thought so too. So he brought a few skilled men to the door of the imperial study and kicked it open.

The imperial study was pitch black, without any sign of human presence.

Several people walked in carefully. Those waiting outside were a little nervous, not knowing what was going on inside!

Chen Zheng moved the sword in his hand towards the prince's neck again. If anything unexpected happened inside, he would kill the prince without hesitation.

Half a minute later, Wang Tianyou and his men came out and said to Chen Zheng, "There is no one inside. There are two open windows in the bedroom behind the imperial study, and a tunnel was found in the backyard. The old emperor must have escaped!"

"what?"

This result was obviously beyond everyone's expectations. Chen Zheng said viciously: "Old Emperor, they are really a coward! What about Prince Rui? Did they take Prince Rui away as well?"

Wang Tianyou said: "It should be. Prince Rui is now a trump card in their hands, and they will definitely hold on to it. But in this situation, they dare not do this to Prince Rui. Prince Rui should be safe."

Chen Zheng asked: "What should we do now? And how do we deal with this person?"

Wang Tianyou looked at the prince, then glanced at the imperial guards who were watching closely not far away, and said, "We are far less in number than those imperial guards now. Zhao Yize is our trump card, and we cannot touch him for the time being. Now, we can only wait here for news from the prince!"

They did not have to wait too long. Half an hour later, King Xiaoyao and his men rushed into the palace. To be precise, they did not rush in, but broke in unhindered!

When King Xiaoyao heard that Emperor Qiyuan had escaped and saw that the crown prince was captured by his men, he laughed three times with joy and sorrow in his voice. In his opinion, at this point, the throne was in his pocket! So, he was happy, extremely happy!

But he was also extremely sad because his Yue He was dead! He tried hard to get all this, just to share the world with his Yue He! However, Yue He was dead and could no longer see all this!

Thinking of Dong Yuehe, he hated the prince to death! From the moment the prince appeared in Xiaoyao Palace, he knew that Yuehe was killed by the prince!

Thinking of this, his eyes turned red, he raised the sword in his hand, and looked towards the prince's head!

"No, Your Majesty!"

Wang Tianyou stepped forward and stood in front of the prince.

"What are you doing? Are you looking for death?"

Wang Tianyou was King Xiaoyao's right-hand man, so King Xiaoyao had to stop. If it were someone else, he would have chopped him down without caring about the consequences.

But this also made King Xiaoyao extremely angry, and his tone of voice was extremely cold.

Wang Tianyou quickly knelt in front of King Xiaoyao and said, "Your Majesty, I just didn't have time to report to you that King Rui was taken away by the old emperor. If we kill the prince now, we are afraid that the old emperor will be in trouble and it will be bad for King Rui."

"What did you say?"

After King Xiaoyao arrived, he indeed did not see King Rui. He thought that King Rui was somewhere else in the palace, but he did not expect that such a thing would happen to King Rui!

Seeing that King Xiaoyao had a bad look on his face, everyone else knelt down in unison.

"My subordinates have failed to do their job well, please punish them, Your Majesty!"

King Xiaoyao looked at the people kneeling in front of him, and after a long while he spoke: "I must punish you, but not now. You all should stand up first, we still have a lot of things to do next!"

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!"

They were all old people who had been with King Xiaoyao for many years and knew his temper and personality very well. If King Xiaoyao was really angry, he would definitely execute them on the spot. He said this to show that he did not have too much resentment towards them, and even if he punished them afterwards, it would not be too severe.

Moreover, King Xiaoyao should also know that what they are doing is a matter of life and death, and any accidents are possible.

At this time, the imperial guards standing not far away were all in panic, not knowing what to do!

Because when they saw King Xiaoyao and his men rushing in, they also saw their leader Luo Chong. Luo Chong was preaching to them at the moment, telling them to follow him and submit to King Xiaoyao.
