After leaving the palace, Princess Danyang shuttled through the alleys. Four carriages were parked at the end of the alley. "Let's go!" Yuanlu urged hurriedly, and the four carriages dispersed at the intersection.

"Chase!" The pursuers behind him followed closely, and the signal of fireworks from the Jinzhi Tower was heard over the sky above the entire imperial city.

The old marquis saw the fireworks over the palace at home and said to the housekeeper, "Bring me my whip! Gather the troops outside the city and follow me into the palace to rescue the emperor."

The people in the Marquis' Mansion were ready. At this time, a man in black appeared above the Marquis' Mansion. He looked at the old Marquis, took out a token from his waist and threw it out.

As soon as the old marquis saw the mark on it, he immediately dismissed the guards in the courtyard and invited the man into the house for a detailed chat, "Jingyang! You are really still alive!"

The man in black took off his mask, knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings, old general!"

The old marquis could not suppress his inner excitement, "Where have you been these years? I thought it was you who was tortured to death in the parade grounds!"

"General, to make it short, I came to your house today to ask for a favor. I would like to borrow your Marquis' Order to help our people leave the capital."

"Your people? Are you working for Zuiyanlou now?"

Although the old marquis had not been involved in court affairs for many years, he had heard a little about Zuiyan Tower and Jinzhi Tower, but he didn't know who was behind them. The marquis was hesitant. If he gave the Marquis' Order to him, it would indirectly mean that the Marquis' Mansion would also join Zuiyan Tower, which would involve the entire palace in the two underworld organizations.

"My Lord, I'll show you a token and you can decide for yourself!"

Jing Yang took out Park Jong-won's handwritten letter. The old marquis looked at it for a few seconds and gave it to his wife for confirmation. Then he asked, "Is he the man behind Zuiyanlou?"

"Yes! Please don't hesitate, General! If this continues, it will be difficult for our people to leave the city."

"I'll get it for you right away!" the old marquis replied, "If he had told me at the beginning, perhaps I could have helped him take the initiative in the court sooner."

Yang Guofu came to the third floor of the palace, and after being checked by Wei Linjun, he came to Song Xiaosheng's bedroom.

He said with a smile: "General Song, what do you think?", with several palace maids and eunuchs standing behind him.

When Song Xiaosheng saw his men, he laughed out loud: "Prime Minister Yang, you, a scholar, want to manage the army? I still say it's impossible!" After saying that, Yang Guofu heard the sound of swords being drawn outside the door.

Yang Guofu looked at the densely packed figures standing outside the palace gate and asked, "Do you think you can stop the Lord with such a small group of people?" The maid behind him replied.

"Yang Guofu, your people are too noisy. If you tell her to shut up, we can still talk."

After he finished speaking, he threw his sword and armor behind them and spread his hands, "It's your turn to show your sincerity!"

Yang Guofu looked at another eunuch, who slashed the noisy maid with his sword, "General Song, are you satisfied?"

"I am satisfied, but as I said before, it's impossible!" Song Xiaosheng said to him with a smile.

"General Song, you are indeed very loyal to the Great Zhou. The late emperor was right about you." He took out a hairpin and said, "Do you recognize this thing? Hand over the tiger talisman and I will let her go!"

Looking at the hairpin, Song Xiaosheng was startled at first and panicked, then he covered his face and laughed: "Prime Minister Yang, you said it, this hairpin is not my daughter's, and even if it is hers, I will not agree to it, so just forget it!"

"I was just joking with the general. This thing is indeed not from Princess Danyang, but from the prince of Luochuan!"

"You killed her?" Song Xiaosheng didn't expect that there was someone in the inner three floors of the palace who dared to bypass him and kill someone.

"No, but it will be soon. All the princes who come here will die. Then we will see whether your people are stronger or I am better."

Before leaving, Yang Guofu said coldly to Song Xiaosheng: "You'd better pray to the late emperor now, asking him to bless your daughter to return safely!"

More and more people gathered in the buildings in the capital city, and the four groups of people from Jinzhi Building followed closely behind. After a while, blue fireworks were heard from the west of the city, indicating that the princess was not in this carriage.

"Hurry up! If we fail to complete the task assigned by the master of the building, we will all die!" said the people from Jinzhi Building.

Half an incense stick of time later, only Princess Danyang and Yuanlu were not killed by the people from Jinzhi Tower. When the carriage passed the intersection again, all the people coming towards them were from Jinzhi Tower.

"I'll stop them, and you find a chance to escape!" Yuanlu cut off the bearing of the carriage with a knife, and Princess Danyang sat on the horse's back.

When Yuanlu was about to risk his life, a hail of arrows came from behind them. Yuanlu said in surprise: "Yes, the owner of the building sent someone to rescue us!"

"What are you standing there for? Get out of here!" Yang Yang yelled at the two of them. Then he pulled out the dagger from his waist and stood in front of them. He swung the dagger as fast as wind and lightning. The people from Jinzhi Tower were like thin sheets and were vulnerable in front of him.

Jing Yang picked up his fireworks and shot them into the air. The red fireworks illuminated the capital. Yang Guofu clapped his hands in admiration when he saw them. "Very good! Next, we will deal with the forces of the elders in the court."

Song Xiaosheng saw the fireworks in the east of the city, "Crack!" The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, and he couldn't let it go for a long time! "Are they really going to destroy our Great Zhou? Someone pass on my order! Gather all the troops of the Weilin Army, and rescue the emperor at the hour of Yin!"

"Sir, Song Xiaosheng can't help it and is ready to take action! Do you think we can do it?" The man made a beheading gesture.

"No rush. Withdraw our people. Let him and the emperor feel that they have succeeded first. Then we will catch all his Wei Lin troops in one fell swoop and kill them one by one in front of him. That will be fun." Yang Guofu said insidiously.

Jing Yang and the old marquis were unaware of Song Yingran's identity. It was only after Song Fengren put on a mask and talked with people in the Marquis's mansion that he found out that it was the people in the Marquis's mansion who were worried about Jing Yang's safety, so the old marquis sent his guards to help.

The three men arrived at the city gate, but the soldiers guarding the city refused to let them go even though they saw that it was the Marquis' order, and shouted that they must have the Prime Minister's order before they could be let go.

"Bastard thing!"

An old man's voice came from behind the three people. Song Fengren turned around and saw the old man holding a whip. He whipped the man to death with one whip, "I want to leave the city! Do I have to see what that bastard Yang Guofu thinks? Open the city gate quickly. I want to leave the city for some fresh air!"

The officers and soldiers who recognized his identity were in a dilemma, "I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate, old marquis!"

"What's wrong? You open the city gate and I go out. Will you tell me? Will you tell me?" The old marquis pointed at the other officers and soldiers with a whip and cursed.

Finally, the city gate was opened to let them leave. Before saying goodbye, the old marquis looked at Song Fengren who was wearing a mask and said, "You are about the same height as my granddaughter. I hope your Zuiyan Tower can be successful. This way, I can die with peace of mind!"

On the third floor of the palace, there were one to two thousand soldiers and horses gathered densely. Song Xiaosheng gave them a righteous speech. A bunch of fireworks flashed in the sky outside the city. He recognized that this was the escape signal he and Song Yingran agreed on. "Did she escape?!"

On the top of the building, a man suddenly shot an arrow at Song Xiaosheng. Song Xiaosheng held the arrow with his bare hands and felt the difference. When he opened it, he saw that it was written: The princess has been sent out of the city, do not want a coup!
