Niu Saner only knew that he stabbed someone, but he didn't think about who he stabbed.

He looked at Queen Ji and suddenly vomited blood again.

Two people fell down on the imperial platform. The ministers thought that the third prince was also dead. They immediately took a step back in shock, fearing that Niu Saner would suddenly attack them.

The group of people desperately wanted to find a few generals to lead the resistance, but when they looked around in confusion, they found that there was only Pei Fan in the hall besides Wei Jie's men.

Therefore, Chang Wenji spoke without hesitation and immediately said, "Commander Pei, Lord Pei!"

"At this critical moment, what are you waiting for? Quickly order the Jinwu Guards to protect everyone and don't let Niu Saner get hurt!"

Chang Wenji, who had previously been extremely supportive of the emperor, now distanced himself from him faster than anyone else.

Pei Fan was thinking about the current situation silently. He glanced at him when he heard this, but did not say anything.

The situation has changed again now, and Ji Bozhou's words just now asking him to help the third prince are naturally no longer counted.

He didn't know what choice he should make to protect his future, nor did he know where this turmoil would end up.

He was not involved in the conspiracy, so how could he know how to break it?

I feel confused and conflicted.

He averted his eyes.

When the emperor heard Chang Wenji ask Pei Fan to protect everyone, he also looked at Pei Fan.

Over the years, he has become accustomed to Pei Fan being used only by him.

But today is a bloody day, times have changed, even Jiaru and Xuer have betrayed him, and he no longer expects Pei Fan to protect him again.

Therefore, he hugged the body of Queen Ji tightly, suppressed the urge to vomit blood, stuffed Ji Jiaru into his arms, and immediately rushed out of the hall through the small door on the side of Xumi Terrace.

He still has a way to leave.

He wanted to find a place to live with Jiaru.

He also had a secret passage, which was a retreat route he had prepared for himself long ago.

Much of the money that the Ji family had saved previously was intended to be used as supplies for after their affair was exposed.

He must have a way...

He quickly went to the Qianqing Palace, which was the last barrier between him and Jiaru.

Go to a place where there are only the two of them, and he will accompany her until old age...

……

Lu Xuan received the message from Lu Xuan sent by He Ling an hour ago, and immediately led his troops from the outer gate of the capital to the palace.

The troops marched in a winding and rapid manner, and now they had arrived at Chengtian Gate, the outermost gate of the palace.

When he saw clearly, he found that it was just as Lu Xuan said, the palace gate was already heavily guarded by the troops from the capital camp!

He was a little puzzled.

Previously, the gate of the capital was guarded by his men. To enter the palace, one had to pass through the city gate first. He had never seen a large army marching in, so how did the people from the capital camp get in?

Just as he was lost in thought, his deputy general, Sun Wei, who was also Jiang Xing's general in Longchuan, rode forward and said, "General Lu, have your men investigate! If that doesn't work, we'll just charge in!"

Sun Wei had been with Jiang Xing for fifteen years and was a staunch figure in Longchuan. He had dark skin, a half-inch stubble, and a loud voice like a fan, but he was energetic and seemed to exude a deep sense of loyalty and courage.

Hearing that Jiang Xing was still in the palace, he waved his hand and made a prompt decision to go in and rescue him no matter what!

General Lu did not refuse after hearing what he said. He nodded and agreed to his request to go to the battle.

At the palace gate, the generals of the Beijing camp saw the soldiers from Longchuan coming and subconsciously looked at Sun Wei again and again.

"Who are you? Who's your subordinate?" The general guarding the gate kept looking at Sun Wei with his eyes.

"I am Sun Wei, deputy general under General Lu. I have been ordered by Prince Jin and General Lu to come and discuss matters with you. It is urgent for us to enter the palace to rescue someone. Please allow us to pass!"

After a long while, the goalkeeper looked Sun Wei up and down twice.

He said warily, "You are not from the Fifth Army Camp or the Beijing Camp!"

His armor was worn, he looked dusty, his beard was half an inch long, and his accent was not that of someone from the suburbs of the capital. Finally, the archway guard shook his head.

"General, we have been ordered to guard the palace gate today. You are not someone I can be lenient with. Please lead your troops back!"

When Sun Wei heard this, he wondered what they meant by "he was not someone they could be accommodating to"?

Meaning that someone could get in, but that person wasn't him?

I immediately felt angry.

"Why can some people make concessions, but we can't? Whose orders do you follow in the Jingji Camp?"

"My leader is the Right Commander-in-Chief Wei Jie, so naturally I am following the orders of Commander Wei!"

"Don't talk about the left commander-in-chief or the right commander-in-chief. Just tell me how many troops you have today? Have they all entered the palace?!"

The guard looked at him strangely and finally said nothing.

Sun Wei was so angry that he nodded speechlessly. "Well, if you really won't let me go and you don't want to negotiate with me, then forget it! But I have to enter this palace today, so don't blame me for being rude later!"

After saying this, he immediately rode back to the front of the army.

The capital city has been under strict lockdown, and every household is staying indoors. This was the preparation that Lu Xuan had quietly ordered people to make early in the morning.

Sun Wei had just had an argument with the opposing garrison commander, and only reported to him after returning that the other side was unwilling to release the person.

Lu Xuan's heart moved slightly.

It seems that a battle today is inevitable.

Having made up his mind, he no longer hesitated. He picked up a silver spear and personally led a hundred elite soldiers as the first charge, immediately spurring their horses towards Chengtian Gate.

After all, this is the palace gate and is close to the people's streets. In order to prevent large numbers of casualties, it is best to fight quickly and attack close up.

They didn't have that much time. In a blink of an eye, the situation in the palace changed in an ever-changing manner. It would be difficult for A Xuan to resist alone, so they had to fight quickly.

Therefore, hundreds of men and horses rushed towards the palace gate excitedly like arrows from a bow.

They rushed forward with all their might and shouted loudly, and for a moment, the horses' hooves on the ground vibrated like drums.

The elite soldiers were all wearing heavy armor, holding weapons, standing on horseback, with great momentum.

When the defending general saw that Sun Wei had left, he immediately sent up a hundred elite light cavalrymen, seemingly ready to attack the city. The previous surprise on his face instantly turned into horror.

Because they have to deal with far more than just these hundred people.

Behind these one hundred elite soldiers, there is an army as densely packed as a long dragon!

"Brothers, close the door, close the palace door quickly!" the guard roared.

However, the moment he shouted, someone had already taken the lead and flew out swiftly, with a silver spear like a dragon dancing with a silver snake. A white light flashed before his eyes, and there was a loud "bang", and it had already stabbed towards the palace gate.

“Squeak!”

The palace gate was pierced by a spear, leaving a long crack, like a hideous wound on smooth skin.

At this moment, the palace gate was suddenly blocked by the silver spear and could not be closed.

The guard was anxious: "Why are you standing there? Hurry up and get the spear!"

However, the person who threw the gun was too strong, the gun was in a high position, and it was firmly fixed on the door. The two guards tried to jump dozens of times, but they couldn't pull it out at all.

Seeing that the palace gate was pierced and could not be closed, the guards panicked and had to prepare for a battle in desperation.

However, the guard who had rejected Sun Wei before was horrified when he saw Lu Xuan's superb silver spear skills and that he was the one leading the battle this time. He looked at his teammates behind him who couldn't even pull out their spears, and kept thinking of countermeasures in his mind.

If you fight hard, you will definitely lose.

The heroic and imposing general in golden armor in front of him was obviously a powerful figure who had experienced many battles and had the demeanor of a veteran.

He looked again, and this person... seemed familiar.

Therefore, in order to save face and complete today's mission, he finally suppressed his panic and asked again: "Who is coming?!"

Sun Wei was also among the hundred men. Seeing that the commander was still asking questions, he became even more furious. He rushed over and cursed, "You're blind! You didn't recognize me just now. You're still asking who this Duke Anguo, General Lu, is? I think all the commanders guarding the capital camp are idiots!"

Everyone thought that the guard was going to drag his feet again, so they drew their weapons and prepared to engage in close combat.

There were already more than a hundred people standing behind the defending general, each holding a weapon in his hand, intending to attack the horse's legs first.

After all, you can't show your weakness right away.

But at this moment, the guard's eyes suddenly lit up, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's the Duke of Anguo?! Why didn't you tell me earlier! Come in, come in!"

Not to mention Lu Xuan, even the soldiers behind the guard were shocked and looked at their leader.

The guard bowed to Lu Xuan and said, "I am the deputy general under the command of the commander-in-chief of the guards. The commander-in-chief has said that if the light cavalry of the five battalions under General Shen's command enter the palace, or if the Duke of Anguo leads his troops into the palace, please let them pass!"

Sun Wei was stunned, and Lu Xuan quickly reined in his horse.

Sun Wei: "So what you meant was that you just forbid me from entering the palace?!"

The guard chuckled and scratched his head. "I didn't know you were from the Fifth Army Camp from your accent, so I didn't dare let you in. If I had known you were from the Duke of Anguo, you should have told me earlier!"

After hearing this, the hundreds of city guards behind the general breathed a sigh of relief.

Let’s not worry about the damaged palace gate. Just looking at those hundred elite soldiers, it was obvious that their side could not defeat them.

After all, he only brought a few thousand soldiers today, but judging from the posture, the other party has at least tens of thousands!

Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately it is Duke Anguo!

At least my reputation and life can be saved!

Unlike the hostility and defensiveness when they shouted to close the palace gates, at this moment, everyone was genuinely relaxed and welcoming.

The guards stood on both sides of the palace gate, shouting loudly: "Welcome, General!"

Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief as he no longer had to waste time here.

He immediately rode his horse at full speed into the palace, high-spirited and full of ambition, heading straight for the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
