.It seemed as if everything had evaporated outside the imperial city. Except for the empty squares and houses, the neat running and panting of the Northern Mansion Army, the sound of horse hooves stepping on the ground of the terrazzo, and the figures of birds flying through the sky in panic, everything seemed so strange.&&

Even the cicadas that could not be gone and fearless seemed to stop. The ground was steaming, and the hot wind was mixed with blood and stench. The whole city seemed like a bloody slaughterhouse.

The army entered the surroundings of the imperial city and surrounded it. All the ten gates around the imperial city were closed, and there was no one on the top of the city, and there was no one in the defenders, which seemed quiet and weird.

Han Mu came to Xuanyang Gate of Jinchi Road and looked up. The gate that he had traveled countless times when he was the commander of the Inner Guard Mansion seemed tall and majestic. At this moment, it was closed and silently looked at the Northern Palace Army in front of him, as if it was a majestic witness, witnessing another change.

"Master, attack in." Liu Laozhidao.

Han Mu shook his head and said, "No, this is a royal holy land, and it is not convenient to get into trouble. Let's take a look first; Huan Wen does not intend to resist stubbornly in this way."

Before Liu Laozhi rode his horse, he put his hands on his lips and shouted loudly, "Heard, the people inside, Han Mu, the general of the army in the North Prefecture Army of Jin, is outside the imperial city. You don't need to resist stubbornly. Your army has surrendered. I advise you not to be confused. Huan Wen's fault is his personal responsibility. If you are stubborn, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

The imperial city was silent, as if there was no one inside. After a while, Liu Laozhi shouted again: "Listen to the people inside, my army must not be able to break the imperial city, but my army of Jinbei respected the rules of the royal forbidden land. But if you think you can hide in it forever, it would be a delusion. From now on, if you do not open the door to surrender within a stick of incense, you will be punished as the crime of treason."

Someone really ignited a high incense and inserted it into the crack above the head of auspicious beast outside Xuanyang Gate, and blue smoke rose.

The surroundings were silent. Tens of thousands of troops stood quietly in the square outside the imperial city under the scorching sun, staring at the fragrance gradually shortening, and the ash fell and was blown away by the breeze without a trace.

Finally, the last bit of incense burned out, Liu Laozhi looked at Han Mu and said, "Master General?"

"Surprise the city, don't wait any longer." Han Mu said quietly, with a thoughtful expression.

Liu Laozhi was so energetic that he wanted to order the siege, he heard the sound of shouting and killing in the imperial city, and the sound of swords and swords hitting endlessly.

Han Mu was shocked and said, "Get in quickly."

Fifty or sixty soldiers pushed the car and ran towards the city gate quickly. The thick and heavy iron head hit the wood with huge inertia began to hit the heavy iron-covered gate, with endless bangs. After dozens of times, a rumbling sound was heard, accompanied by the ground returning to the city and debris, the city gate smashed open a huge hole, but it did not collapse, which shows the solidity of the imperial gate.

Someone quickly drilled through the hole, cleared the wood and the cart against the door, pulled the iron bolt to open the door, and opened the door. Liu Laoyi waved his hand and the soldiers rushed in.

Han Mu said loudly: "No grass or tree in the imperial city is allowed. Just catch Huan Wen and his gangsters, and kill them when they encounter resistance. If anyone dares to take advantage of the situation and rob the reputation of our Northern Palace Army, kill the nine clans, and trace the third-level crime to be judged."

Everyone was shocked. This was the first time Han Mu issued such a strict order to his army, which shows how much he valued the imperial city. Han Mu knew that there were many rare treasures and ancient paintings in the imperial city, which were priceless treasures. In later generations, several dynasties had been robbed of the palaces, which brought great losses to Chinese culture and many indelible regrets to people's hearts. Therefore, as an intellectual, Han Mu naturally did not allow such things to happen; as for the traitors, the filthy palace, the traitor of the palace, or even the imperial concubine, it was absolutely not allowed to happen.

The sound of shouting and killing in the distance was even louder, coming from the northwest direction. Han Mu listened carefully. It was the direction of Chongde Hall. In his heart, the horse realized that it was Wei Changqing, Fang Dezhang, Wang Sanbao and other inner guards who were loyal to Huan Wen and others might take the opportunity to start the battle. The inner guards who were loyal to Huan Wen and others were fighting. At that time, he rode his horse to rush towards Chongde Hall without hesitation. Liu Laozhi commanded the army to search for Huan Wen's followers and capture the rebels.

Han Mu crossed the Grand Sima Bureau Square and rushed north. When he turned west, Chongde Hall was in front of him. Thousands of people in front of the hall were attacking Chongde Hall with weapons and arrows. Arrows were shot from time to time to shoot down the guards approaching him, and the stalemate was unstable for a while.

Han Mu saw a man in white armor standing under the shade of the tree. The man pointed and pointed at the guards and shot arrows inside, threw torches, cursing the soldiers constantly, urging them to rush inside.

The man was Han Mu's former deputy, Zhang Qing, the current commander of the Inner Guards; Han Mu laughed and thought that this guy had escaped, but he didn't expect that he would still be here. He did not take any effort to deal with it. He has always hated the betrayer Han Mu, and this time he caught him.

"Ahh, isn't this Commander Zhang? Why don't you protect your Emperor Huan Wen of the Woodland Kingdom and come here to disturb the Queen Mother's dream? This is not good." Han Mu rode out and laughed loudly.

Everyone in front of Chongde Palace stopped in shock and looked at Han Mu. There were many guards that Han Mu knew well, some of whom Han Mu didn't know. They must be Zhang Qing's confidant who later entered the palace.

Zhang Qing turned his head and saw that he almost didn't pee his pants. Han Mu was the person he was most afraid of seeing at this time, but his enemies were narrow.

When he saw Han Mu's side of the guards who were only dozens of cavalry following him, he immediately became brave and pointed at him and shouted: "Brothers, he is Han Mu, the leader of the traitor. If we catch him, we don't have to capture Empress Chongde to save our lives, ah."

Half of the guards did not move at all. Han Mu was their old commander. He was ashamed to see him because he betrayed him. Why did he still have the face to attack him at this moment? But the other four hundred Zhang Qing's confidants had no such concerns. When they heard that he was the commander of the rebels of the Northern Palace, he only brought dozens of people with him. It was just his good opportunity that he rushed forward with a scream.

Han Mu smiled slightly, but instead of retreating. When he lifted the reins, the dark clouds jumped up lightly and rushed towards Zhang Qing a hundred steps away. The guards rushed towards Han Mu, who was desperately waving his bows, arrows, swords, guns, and swords in his hands. Han Mu didn't look at them at all. The dark clouds leaped and threw these guards behind him and shouted: "Brothers of the Inner Guards' Mansion, the Northern Guards' Army will only punish the evildoers. If you put down your weapons, you can live a life. Don't make me angry."

Seeing that the guards seemed to be teasing in his words, they were used to being domineering and arrogant, how could they stop? They rushed to chase after him. In the blink of an eye, Han Mu had already arrived in front of another five or six hundred old subordinates. The guards looked at Han Mu with shame and dared not look at him.

"Brothers, we're meeting again." Han Mu smiled.

"Stop him and kill him. Damn, are you trying to die if you disobey military orders?" Zhang Qing cursed from a distance.

"We are good brothers. I know you can't help but go and kill the idiots behind me, make up for the merits, and then reminisce about the old relationship with you brothers after I kill Zhang Qinggou thief." Han Mu said warmly, his voice carrying a majesty of being unhurried and self-righteous. This is a kind of kingly aura that has been practiced for a long time. If you don't have this majesty, it is a self-deception. If you stay in the position for a long time, you will naturally have this deterrent force that makes people obey.

The guards Wen Yan were immediately overjoyed and thought they would be punished for betrayal, but because of Han Mu's words, his heart suddenly became hot.

"Kill!" a guard shouted, scaring the guards around him trembled.

Zhang Qing smiled proudly. The six hundred guards surrounded Han Mu and peeled him alive. This time, he captured Han Mu and saved his life.

"I want to live!" Zhang Qing shouted.

Han Mu laughed and said, "Is that right?" He rode his horse and rushed towards Zhang Qing.

The six hundred soldiers flocked in, but not for Han Mu, but met the four hundred guards following Han Mu's butt. The four hundred guards suddenly couldn't react and were knocked down dozens of them by swords. When they reacted and started to resist, dozens of followers from Han Mu followed him also rode their horses to kill them. Now that the number of people was not superior and the martial arts was not superior, they were cut into melons and vegetables and killed them.
