You kid! You don't have to be so low-key! !

The rebel army led by Yu Qingxi has grown to nearly 60,000 people. They are advancing like a hot knife through butter and heading straight for the imperial city.

What we saw along the way were scenes of incompetent rulers ruining the country, treacherous ministers in power, and the people complaining.

The slogan of the rebels, "Depose the emperor, choose a wise ruler according to heaven, and let Qingxi be the master", was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even those people who had suffered from bullying joined in, making the rebels even more powerful.

The garrisons in various places were limited in number and insufficient in strength, making it difficult to stop this powerful army.

What's more, there was a great martial arts master named Wang Gang in the rebel army, which made their advance particularly smooth.

Five days later, the rebels successfully joined up with hundreds of people led by Chang Qing, and their morale was high.

As night falls, Chang Qing, Yu Qingxi, Wang Gang and others discuss military intelligence.

Changqing proposed to capture the imperial city within 15 days. Everyone felt that time was running out and dared not slack off in the slightest.

That night, the army distributed the intercepted supplies and only used a small half of them. The whereabouts of the remaining majority of supplies were unknown, and nearly a hundred people also disappeared.

The army continued to march towards the imperial city, and three days later, the outline of the majestic imperial city was clearly visible.

Many people in the team were of peasant origin and had never seen such a magnificent city. They stretched their necks to look around curiously.

Changqing rode on his horse, looking into the distance, thinking secretly in his heart.

He knew that the imperial city had already learned of their movements and had stepped up its defenses, so he had to first besiege the city and then try to get the soldiers who had infiltrated the city to open the city gates.

The key to all this lies in the cooperation of the insider. Only he can knock down the soldiers guarding the gate and take the opportunity to open the city gate.

When we approached the imperial city, the city walls were already filled with defenders and it was obvious that martial law had been imposed.

It is unlikely that carrier pigeons would deliver messages in the face of a cold winter, as pigeons would not be able to fly far before their wings would freeze.

Yu Qingxi couldn't help but feel helpless, because the undercover agent was near the imperial palace, and if the fireworks were lit there, the undercover agent would not be able to see them, and it would easily arouse the guards.

At this time, Chang Qing patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry! Leave it to me." He looked up at the sky, as if thinking about something, but did not notice the brief blush on Yu Qingxi's face.

Suddenly, a group of court officials appeared on the top of the city wall, led by Cui Jianguo.

He was wearing a red official uniform and looked a little hunched.

The officials pointed at the rebels below, with mockery and disdain on their faces. They did not seem to take the peasant army seriously.

A gust of wind came from nowhere, like a natural chasm, separating the officials and the rebels, like two different worlds, and the gods high above were laughing at the weakness of the ants.

Yu Qingxi walked forward and faced the officials. On his left and right were Chang Qing and Wang Gang. They all focused their attention on the movements of the people on the city wall. Cui Jianguo looked at the young man in white clothes beside Yu Qingxi, and his pupils shrank, but he quickly concealed it.

One of the ministers in blue clothes was the first to speak out, saying, "Princess, as a daughter of the royal family, you are committing treason by doing this. Surrender now. Perhaps His Majesty will spare your life for the sake of royal kinship!"

When the princess heard the minister's threat, she couldn't help but sneer and said:

"Oh? Sir, your words seem to suggest that I am the culprit for the chaos in this world. As a daughter of the royal family, I do bear the heavy responsibility of safeguarding national interests and the well-being of the people, but do you dare to say that this situation in the world is caused by me?"

The Princess continued:

"Who is it? Who disregarded the common people and insisted on launching a war that was unpopular? Who made the people of the world homeless and hungry? Sir, you should ask the person sitting on that chair if his surname is still Li, as in Limin! And ask him if he still remembers how to write the word 'forget one's roots'?!"

Yu Qingxi's words were powerful, and the soldiers of the uprising army shouted slogans in unison: "The people's wish, the divine power granted by heaven, behead the tyrant, suppress the corrupt officials, and restore justice!"

The slogans surged like a raging tide, shaking everyone's heart. The overwhelming momentum made all the officials retreat one after another, overwhelmed by the sound waves.

The blue-robed official did not speak any more. His face was pale, and it was unclear whether he had no rebuttal or was frightened.

At this time, Cui Jianguo cleared his throat and tried to save the situation: "But you are a member of the royal family, and even more so a subject of this country!"

Yu Qingxi was unable to refute for a moment, but this did not faze Chang Qing who was beside him.

Chang Qing whispered a few words into Yu Qingxi's ear, and Yu Qingxi's eyes lit up.

"Haha, the regent is a scholar, how could he not understand the principles of ruler-rule, subject-subject, father-father, son-son?" Yu Qingxi said.

"Humph! I was just about to say that a ruler should be loyal to his ruler and assist his ruler with all their heart and soul, but what you are doing now is contrary to this!" said Cui Jianguo.

"Has Regent Cui forgotten a premise? This sentence should be: If the monarch fulfills his duty of benevolence, then the minister shall fulfill his duty of loyalty. If the monarch is unkind, then the minister may also be unrighteous."

Yu Qingxi said lightly.

"You!!" Cui Jianguo was speechless for a moment, frowning slightly.

But he was a seasoned official and quickly thought of a solution. He said:

"You may have a sharp tongue, but that cannot change the fact that you are a woman. Women like you should take care of your husbands and children. How can you participate in government affairs and plot for power and usurp the throne? It is against the rules of etiquette and is an act of treason! How can this world tolerate you?"

Yu Qingxi replied calmly:

"Choi Gwang-guk, your ideas seem a bit outdated. In this era, women also have wisdom and ability, and we can also contribute to the country."

"Think about it again. If you didn't have your mother and wife, where would you be? Where would your home be? There are many female immortals in the legend. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for making irresponsible remarks about immortals? I think you are the one who is really against etiquette!"

Cui Jianguo did not expect the eldest princess to be so sharp-tongued. Just as he was about to continue to refute, he suddenly felt cold all over, as if the power of heaven had descended. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his whole body was shaking like a sieve, and he fainted.

No one noticed that the light in Changqing's eyes beside Yu Qingxi disappeared, and then he calmed down. No one knew what happened. They only saw Cui Jianguo twitching and then fainting as if he had a stroke. They thought he was really punished by God, and their whole body was shaking slightly.

All officials hurriedly carried Cui Jianguo down from the city wall and sent him to a nearby clinic.

Such a sloppy ending made Yu Qingxi stunned for a moment. She was ready to engage in a verbal battle of three hundred rounds, but she didn't expect the old guy to be so tactless. She smacked her lips and felt bored. She turned her horse's head and the three of them returned to the team not far away.

Yu Qingxi ordered his troops to set up camp and prepare in a place on the city wall where the weapons could not reach.

Chang Qing looked at the sky from time to time, as if waiting for something. The sky gradually darkened, and it even started to snow again. Many braziers were lit on the city wall, forming a straight line, illuminating the top of the city with an unusually bright light.

Yu Qingxi had originally risked sending several carrier pigeons into the city under the cover of night, but there was Wuzong on the top of the city wall with a bow and arrow, and he shot down all the pigeons without missing a single arrow.

Seeing that there was no solution, everyone became anxious. The longer it dragged on, the easier it would be for the rear to be ambushed by the enemy, and it would be bad to be trapped at that time.
