I made the villain right.

Shi Jin rode his horse all the way to the palace gate.

The guard at the palace gate had just let King Shengqing pass, but when he saw this, his eyes showed some vigilance.

Shi Jin hurriedly dismounted, took a few steps forward and said, "I am Shi Jin, the concubine of the Holy Prince. Please let me enter the palace. I have something important to report to His Majesty."

Shi Jin's voice was filled with anxiety.

At this time, King Shengqing had already walked a few steps inside. A familiar voice came into his ears. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He paused and turned to walk towards the person who came.

"Jin'er." King Shengqing's voice was calm and concerned.

The moment Shi Jin saw King Shengqing, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Father!"

"What happened?" King Shengqing looked at Shi Jin's anxious expression and had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Xu Wuchen has led 250,000 Blood Evil Puppets to Kyoto. We should report this to His Majesty so that we can be prepared."

King Shengqing's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said anxiously: "Okay, follow me into the palace."

Shi Jin followed the footsteps of King Shengqing and hurriedly went straight to the study.

At this time, Xu Wusheng was reviewing memorials in the study. Hearing the hurried footsteps, he looked up and saw the person coming, and stopped writing with the red pen in his hand.

Shi Jin stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Xu Wusheng looked calm, but a hint of vigilance appeared in his eyes.

Shi Jin suddenly came to the palace to see him, fearing that something bad was going to happen.

"Today Xu Wuchen is leading 250,000 Blood Evil puppets to attack Kyoto. Your Majesty, please prepare for defense immediately."

Although he didn't know how Shi Jin knew about Xu Wuchen's actions today, the matter was of great importance and urgent, so Xu Wusheng had no time to investigate in detail.

"Dacheng, you must immediately summon Prince Jing'an, Prince Shengqing, Commander Wei, Marquis Yun, and Prince Li to come here." Xu Wusheng looked at Dacheng who was waiting on the side, and spoke in a decisive tone.

Upon hearing this, Dacheng hurriedly turned around and left.

Afterwards, Xu Wusheng looked at the Holy King and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Wang, you should quickly take people to seal the city gates and ring the alarm bell in the city to notify all the people in Kyoto to take shelter."

"Your Majesty, I obey your command." After receiving the order, King Shengqing quickly turned around and left the study to arrange related matters.

Soon, Fan Hua, King Jing'an and others hurried to the study.

As soon as Fan Hua stepped into the study, he caught sight of Shi Jin's figure.

In an instant, his originally serious and cold face was slightly stunned, and a trace of imperceptible surprise and worry flashed in his eyes.

I was surprised to see her at this moment, but I was also worried because the situation was critical and I was concerned about her safety.

On the way here, Dacheng had already told them the general situation.

After a brief moment of daze, Fan Hua quickly regained his composure and followed King Jing'an to walk in front of Xu Wusheng.

"Your Majesty, I am aware of the situation. Please feel free to give me any instructions."

King Jing'an's eyes were full of tenacity, and he looked ready to die and fight to the death.

Xu Wusheng looked at King Jing'an and Fan Hua and ordered, "Uncle Tai Wang, Brother Fan, you lead the Silver Armor Army and the Imperial Guards to defend the city."

"Yes," Fan Hua and King Jing'an said in unison.

Shi Jin stood aside, following Fan Hua's every move.

She recalled what Shi Xiaomian had told her not to let Fan Hua and her participate in this battle because they would die in the battle.

When Fan Hua turned around and prepared to leave, their eyes met in the air, at that moment.

See the attachment and worry hidden in each other's eyes.

Although Fan Hua was reluctant to leave Shi Jin, he understood that there were more important things waiting for him to do at the moment, so he left without looking back.

Shi Jin's heart tightened and he immediately chased after him.

She reached out, grabbed Fanhua's arm, and hesitated for a few seconds.

Shi Jin already had a result in mind, but he still wanted to give it a try.

She said, "Ayu, let's hide and not get involved in this battle to defend the city."

When Fan Hua heard this, he stopped, turned around, and a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.

Based on his understanding of Shi Jin, she would fight and defend the city with everyone and would never say such words.

"Why?" he couldn't help but ask.

"Because I don't want anything to happen to you."

Fan Hua's expression softened a bit, he stroked Shi Jin's hair gently, and said in a deep voice: "Mian Mian, facing a powerful enemy, every citizen has a duty, we can't hide away. Kyoto is our home, it has many good memories for us, I want to protect this city."

After hearing this, Shi Jin lowered his eyes, and a hint of

If there is a place to hide, you can hide in space.

But she couldn't say that she had space, so she chose to remain silent.

Shi Jin looked at Fan Hua's determined eyes and knew that he could not change his mind.

I had to change my strategy.

Since she couldn't persuade him, she would just stay by his side and protect him.

She has a space, and if he is in danger, she can summon him into the space to prevent him from getting hurt.

She thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go with you."

When Fan Hua heard that Shi Jin wanted to follow him, he immediately refused: "No."

Shi Jin looked determined and said stubbornly, "I can't persuade you, so you don't have to persuade me."

Fan Hua couldn't persuade her after all, and had to agree reluctantly, but he also decided in his heart that he would protect her no matter what.

After arranging the defense of the city, Xu Wusheng looked at Yunbo Hou, Li Shizi and Wei Tongling, and said seriously: "Yunbo Hou, Li Shizi, Wei Tongling, you will lead the imperial guards to guard the palace and protect the safety of the people in the underground palace."

Several people took orders and acted quickly.

In the warehouse, the Silver Armored Army carried the Thunder Bombs out of the palace and transported them to various defense areas in the city.

It happened that Yunchuan, Ran Ke and Du Xuan were all in the palace today. Fan Hua immediately asked them to gather in a room in the palace to discuss the war plan.

Fanhua held a map of Kyoto and spread it on the table.

Pointing to the places circled in red ink on the map, he said, "Have the Imperial Guards deliver the Thunder Bombs to these places. The more the better. Then have our people lure the Blood Evil Puppets in and blow them up..."

Fan Hua had already thought of a plan before, using some relatively closed areas with few residents as detonation points to kill those blood puppets.

"Yes." The three of them took the order and left.

"Dong~dong~dong~"

The alarm bell rang three times.

When the people in the city heard the sound, their faces changed. They knew that danger was coming and everyone entered an emergency state.

The people who could not enter the underground palace hid in places they thought were safe.

Some hid in dug holes; some hid in cellars; some hid under a pile of straw...

The General's Mansion was the first to receive the news, and Shi Xiaomian was the first to inform the entire mansion.

In the ancestral hall.

Luo Yi was wearing a red wedding dress. She looked at Shi Sheng's tablet and said, "Ah Sheng, do you think I look good in this wedding dress?"

Her voice was soft and full of nostalgia.

Danger was approaching and she was saying her final farewell.

She thought that if something happened to her today, she would go to see him in her wedding dress.

After saying that, she suddenly heard the sound of a bell. Her eyes were full of solemnity and she walked out in a hurry.

Elsewhere, Zhilu was helping Xu Ruogu pack some bottles and jars of medicine and put them into the medicine box.

Zhilu muttered as he packed up: "Gu'er, we are running for our lives now, is it necessary to take these things?"

"These medicines are life-saving. I take them in case of emergency." Xu Ruogu didn't even raise his head, his hands moving non-stop.

Zhilu suddenly remembered something and hurriedly took out a silver token from his arms and said, "Gu'er, don't forget to take your token."

"Okay." After receiving the reminder, Xu Ruogu immediately opened a box and took out his token from it.

That was the certificate for entering the underground palace, a precious place that Shi Jin had fought for her and Xu Ruogu, and she had been keeping it safely.

The two of them quickly packed up and left the house, preparing to enter the palace.

Soon after leaving the yard, they saw Luo Yi walking towards them in a red wedding dress.

"I'll send you into the palace now." Luo Yi's expression was firm, and his voice left no room for doubt.

There was a scene of panic in the Yun Mansion.

Song and Yun Youying were hurriedly packing the things they needed.

Yun Youying only took some dry food and water to fill her stomach.

She saw her mother still packing warm clothes, so she quickly stopped her and said, "Mom, we won't need these. Let's hurry up."

After saying that, he immediately pulled Song out.

The servants in the mansion were also in a panic and running around in a hurry.

Soon, the street in front of the palace was packed with people.

There are three passages at the palace gate, one of which is for the dignitaries, and the other two are for ordinary people to enter the palace.

Zhilu and Xu Ruogu were standing in the middle of the winding team, and not far away, Yun Youying and Song were also among the crowd.

Officials above the sixth rank in the court enjoyed the privilege of entering the palace first. Yun Zhengting found his wife and daughter in the crowd and immediately took them to the fast lane and walked towards the palace gate.

Yun Youying is the future queen. She is brought to Xu Wusheng and is heavily protected by the imperial guards.

Wei Dong and Li Muci are responsible for the inspection at the palace gate, which is a heavy responsibility.

Wei Dong's eyes were sharp as torches, and he looked around vigilantly at all times.

At the palace gate, several guards carefully checked the tokens in the hands of the people.

Due to the urgency of time and for the sake of speed, they simply checked the token and let them go.

Li Muci looked at the crowded street, and a hint of anxiety appeared on his handsome face.

"At this rate, when will it be cured? I'm afraid the Blood Evil Puppets have all arrived, and the people are still outside. Why not let them all in?"

There was a hint of urgency and impatience in his voice.

“Your Highness, you don’t know this,” Wei Dong stepped forward, lowered his voice, and looked respectful yet a little worried.

"If we let them all in, someone without a token might sneak into the palace. Not only will the palace not be able to accommodate them, but there won't be enough food to go around. The food in the palace is only enough for some people to use for more than a month. By then, I'm afraid the palace will be in chaos before the man-eating monster attacks."

After hearing this, Li Muci realized that he had not considered it carefully, so he stopped talking.

Just at this moment, a hunchbacked old man tried to fish in troubled waters and sneak into the palace, but was grabbed out by the sharp-eyed guards.

The old man fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face, and begged, "Please have mercy on me. I am too old to resist the man-eating monsters outside. I just want to hide in the palace. I want to live. Please let me go, sir."

The voice was old and sad, and everyone present couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Li Muci's heart tightened and he quickly walked to the old man.

He squatted down, with a trace of pity in his eyes: "Old man, please stand up first, don't be like this."

The old man grabbed Li Muci's sleeve tightly as if he had grabbed the last straw, his cloudy eyes full of pleading.

Seeing this, Li Muci gently pried the old man's hands apart, half-knelt down, and spoke as gently as possible.

"Old man, it's not that we are heartless and refuse to let you go. It's just that the food in this palace is limited. The food in the palace is only enough for some people to survive for more than a month. The palace can only accommodate a limited number of people. If you come in, I'm afraid you will starve to death."

Outside the palace you can only protect yourself, but inside the palace you are protected by the imperial guards. The old man can tell which one is better.

The old man was unmoved and said firmly: "I will die anyway. It is better to starve to death in there than to be bitten to death by monsters outside. I just want a place to stay."

Li Muci stood up and looked at Wei Dong. The two of them discussed in a low voice for a moment, but finally they softened their hearts and decided to let the old man in.

But this precedent was like a flood that broke through the dam.

Seeing this, more and more people followed suit, clamoring to enter the palace.

This really stumped Li Muci and Wei Dong, and they immediately regretted being soft-hearted.

Seeing that their pleading was futile, the crowd clashed with the guards and the situation instantly got out of control.

Some people pushed forward, and some shouted loudly.

The chaotic crowd caused a lot of time to be wasted, the efficiency of the inspection became slower, and those who originally held tokens were blocked outside and unable to enter the palace.

Wei Dong and a group of imperial guards took some effort to control the situation.

Li Muci frowned, thought for a moment, and came up with a compromise to ease the conflict.

He took a step forward, his face solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Listen carefully, let those with tokens enter the palace first, and those without tokens will enter later. This prince will risk his life to let you enter the palace. If there are still objections, this prince does not mind, and will execute them for the crime of obstructing public affairs and disturbing order."

Wei Dong cooperated and drew his sword. The blade flashed and the cold air was overwhelming, warning those who were causing trouble.

Seeing this, although everyone was unwilling, they could only shut their mouths and calm down temporarily.

After a while, Li Muci saw that the long line still had not shortened, and felt that letting them in one by one was too slow.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then waved his hand to call more people over and ordered: "You will be divided into three lines, walk into the crowd, check the tokens in their hands, and after the inspection is completed, let them go in batches."

After receiving the order, the imperial guards acted quickly, moving through the crowd and checking the tokens in the hands of the people one by one.

They moved quickly and quickly, and soon several groups of people entered the palace smoothly.

At the entrance to the underground palace, Yun Bohou ensured that the people entered in an orderly manner.
