The Ziyun Palace shrouded in the night was vaguely visible with smoke and clouds, adding an evil atmosphere to the dead silence. In front of the closed door, a shambling and thin young man opened the door gently, and the vermilion door panel made a creepy creaking sound.
No one could be seen in the empty outer hall. There was only a pool of blood on the ground, black and red, and ghosts seemed to be lurking in the dark corners. In the hideous and terrifying atmosphere, the door to the inner hall slowly opened, followed by the harsh sound of iron chains dragging the floor.
, a ray of dim light came into sight.
The light came from the ever-bright lamp that flickered on and off. Through it, the scene in the inner hall could not be seen clearly. Only heavy breathing and moans could be heard, and the smell of blood could also be vaguely smelled. Perhaps it was God's intention, and a thunder suddenly struck without warning.
Suddenly, the silver light flashed by, and the vision immersed in the darkness finally became clear.
Blood, eyes full of blood...
That is not an inner palace at all, but a demon cave decorated with flesh and blood![
A shrill low whistle cut through the night sky, and the lingering sound echoed in the long streets. A few pale lantern lights gathered together after the low whistle, and stopped in front of a certain hut.
"What's going on? What's wrong with the third lady?!" The rough male voice sounded a little panicked, and the knocking on the door was quite chaotic.
"It's okay, it's okay, Sister Bai just had a nightmare." A girl's clear voice came from the room. Hearing this answer, several strong men at the door let out a sigh of relief, looked at each other, smiled bitterly a few times, shook their heads and left, leaving again.
A lonely light in the hut was silent in the rainy night.
It was autumn, and the water in the copper basin was a bit bitter. Ye Huawan hissed and breathed in the cold air, twisted a wet cloth, and carefully wiped the sweat off Bai Qige's head.
"Is Sister Bai feeling better? Do you want to call Military Advisor Mustache?"
"No need, it's just a nightmare. I'm feeling much better now." Bai Qige felt much better after the sweat was wiped away. Bai Qige forced a smile and lay back on the bed. It was just a nightmare, but because of the nightmare just now, she said
Unable to fall asleep, Bai Qige turned over and pulled Ye Huawan. Thinking of the dream, she was still frightened: "I dreamed that Fu Chu went to save Chen Jing and the others. It seemed that he went to Ziyun Palace, but there was something like this in Ziyun Palace.
It’s like a prison, dark and cold, and the smell of blood is everywhere..."
Ye Huawan held Bai Qige's cold hands and placed them firmly in her small palms: "Sister Bai is too worried, thinking about things day by day and dreaming about things at night. Didn't Brother Xu say it during the day, the imperial guards in the palace
We can no longer withstand it and are about to be breached. When Sister Bai loses her fever and can move around, we will definitely be able to enter the palace to save Brother Chen and Senior Brother. But Sister Bai, your illness..." After a sigh that did not reflect his age,
Ye Huawan held her chin in her hands and frowned: "Sister Bai hasn't been able to sleep since Brother Ning disappeared. Look, she got sick from exhaustion, right? Finding Brother Ning's things on the edge of the cliff doesn't mean something happened to Brother Ning. Maybe it was first.
Did you escape? Good people are rewarded. I believe that Brother Ning will be safe and live a long life. Sister Bai must also believe in it!"
"Stop talking, Ye Zi." Bai Qige shook her head and closed her eyes tiredly.
Ning Xizui was chased by people sent by Yi Chenxuan and lost his trace. Lei Laoer personally led people to look for him. As a result, they found the horse Ning Xizui was riding on and the folding fan he never left his hand on the edge of a cliff dozens of miles away.
Except that no one could be found, this situation really didn't persuade Bai Qige not to think too much.
No matter what Ning Xizui's true identity is, or whether he is really related to Anling Kingdom, he has always been caring, considerate and sincere towards Bai Qige. For such a close friend, Bai Qige doesn't want him to make any mistakes.
.
Yi Chenjing, Ning Xizui...
The two most important men to her in this life are now in a state of uncertainty.
In fact, Bai Qige didn't tell the entire content of the dream just now. She was afraid that speaking out would scare Ye Huawan. After all, such a nearly real scene was too terrifying - the inner palace of Ziyun Palace in the dream was like Yi Chenxuan's torture.
In the human devil's cave, the moment lightning flashed across, she saw a person hanging in the room. His body was torn and bloody, and every wound was hopelessly horrific. And that person, she knew, was none other than Yi Chenjing.
She hoped that the dream was false, otherwise her heart would be shattered into a handful of dust, because of the pain he suffered, and because she could not immediately appear in front of him to save him or share the pain.
After tossing and turning all night, at dawn, Bai Qige's fever had subsided, but her eye circles were inevitably swollen, with a large black mark appearing.
"The Forbidden Army's artillery fire has almost been finished. We can break into the palace in a day or two at most. Ah, by the way, Miss Third, this is the note that some people just picked up from the drainage channel of the palace. The general didn't have time to read it.
I don’t know who wrote it, but the wax pill on the outside says that if it is delivered to the third lady, you can receive a heavy reward——" In the small courtyard, Xu Zezhi, who took over Bai Qige's place in commanding the army, was chattering about the situation. When he suddenly looked up, he was frightened by Bai Qige's haggard face.
With a jump, "This... Miss Third, you should rest more..."
Bai Qige waved her hand and took the note with strength: "No, I caught the fever because I didn't sleep well in the past two days. I slept all day yesterday and I'm fine now."
Xu Zezhi moved his lips, but didn't say anything in the end - who doesn't know Bai Qige's stubborn temper? Now that Yi Chenjing is imprisoned and Ning Xizui is missing, if she can rest and sleep peacefully, she won't be Bai Qige.
Unfolding the crumpled note, Bai Qige's eyes lit up, she took a deep breath, exhausted physically and mentally, and instantly returned to the resolute and stunning female general: "General Xu, do you have any arrangements for what I ordered earlier?
?"[
Xu Zezhi was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized, clasping his fists and bowing: "According to the order of Third Miss, the last general has already arranged for the remaining martyrs in Qiaojiazhai to go to a safe place, and also sent a message to the old general to beware of attacks. What, King An Ning
Have you really sent people to Qiaojiazhai and Zhaoguo?"
"Well, this is a note from the queen." Bai Qige nodded, with a rare smile on her face, "Finally, Yi Chenxuan didn't succeed this time. He is used to treating himself as a hunter, toying with his prey and then killing them all. I
I told you those arrangements because I was afraid that he would take action against Qiaojiazhai and Zhaoguo. As expected, he sent a lot of troops to Zhaoguo and Qiaojiazhai, but this time he was going to completely defeat them.
.If my father’s sword is not old enough, and Yi Chenxuan’s 20,000 troops and horses never come back to the distant country, we don’t have to worry about the future, and we can just do our best to take down the palace.”
/
"Third Miss is so smart! I was wondering why such an arrangement was made before, but now I know that Third Sister's ability to prepare for a rainy day and strategize is by no means inferior to General Bai!"
Xu Zezhi's words were completely sincere and not flattery. However, Bai Qige still stopped smiling and flatly rejected the compliment: "It's not that I'm smart, but that I understand Yi Chenxuan's methods. He is an out-and-out lunatic."
"The madman should have a reason. Emperor Yao and the Crown Prince are blood relatives of Prince An Ning. Patricide and fratricide are such treasonous and unethical things..." Xu Zezhi shook his head in confusion.
Bai Qige did not continue to explain. She was not very clear about Yi Chenxuan's motives. She used to think that Yi Chenxuan was simply fighting for the throne, but now it seems that the truth is far more than that. What Yi Chenxuan wants is definitely not the throne.
Power is so easy to guess.
Regardless of the facts, Yi Chenxuan could not escape the charges of falsely conveying imperial edicts, liaising with enemy countries, initiating palace coups, and imprisoning the emperor. Once the siege of the palace revolutions was resolved, only death awaited him.
"General Xu, later you will take someone to quietly buy some wine and meat. Let the soldiers have a good time tomorrow night. Early the day after tomorrow, we will rush into the palace in one go." The life-and-death decisive battle was said softly by Yun Danfeng.
, as if it was just an ordinary thing, Bai Qige stared at the hazy clouds above her head, and clutched the note from the Queen tightly in her palms.
It's time to settle everything, the grudge with Yi Chenxuan, and the bad relationship with Yi Chen.
On the third day after learning the details of the palace from the note, Bai Qige led 700 red tassel troops and Yi Chen's private soldiers to launch a final offensive against the imperial army. Three hours later, the imperial army could not resist and withdrew the palace wall.
, and half an hour later, the palace gate was breached.
The Forbidden Army, which had been besieged for many days, was already exhausted. Facing the fierce opponent, they resisted with all their strength. After entering the imperial capital without bloodshed along the way, Bai Qige broke through the copper and iron walls of the palace as quickly as possible and created a new legend. At the same time, this sudden battle was
Palace changes towards climax.
"What are you waiting for? Bai Qige has already invaded!" The door of the inner palace of Ziyun Palace was kicked open, and a furious Ruan Yanluo appeared at the door, his face ashen.
Yi Chenxuan ignored Ruan Yanluo's anger, but turned his gaze to the golden cage, looking at Yao Huang with some mockery: "Second uncle, this is the imperial city's forbidden army that you are proud of. It has only been a few days."
He was beaten to the point of running away by the soldiers of Baihao City. Compared with the Bai family, I am nothing more than a great general."
Yaohuang's cloudy eyes moved, but he still couldn't speak. However, Ruan Yanluo couldn't help but rushed to Yi Chenxuan at the door. His words not only did not mean to obey orders, but also sounded vaguely threatening: "Yi Chenxuan,
You said that the general situation is under your control, but what about now? Seeing that the enemy is about to rush in, will you just sit and wait for death?! If I had known this, it would be better to let you stay in Cangwu until you die of old age!"
"Ha, are you anxious? Because you find that you can't even find a way to escape?" Yi Chenxuan sneered, leisurely raised his fingers to pinch Ruan Yanluo's chin, and looked closer with cold eyes, "A woman like you only has skin to show for it.
, he is so ugly in his bones that it makes people sick, he doesn’t even have the brains to play tricks, it is simply overestimating his own abilities.”
Ruan Yanluo was so angry that his thoughts were revealed, his face turned blue and white, and his lips trembled with anger.
She originally planned to escape from the palace and return to Monan when things got bad, but she didn't expect Bai Qige to invade so quickly and all the ways out were blocked. She came to Yi Chenxuan out of desperation, but she ended up humiliating herself.
. Ruan Yanluo really couldn't figure out what Yi Chenxuan was planning. Seeing that he had no intention of escaping, he felt even more unsure. In desperation, he turned evil, and there was a green snake as thick as a finger on the corner of his mouth and on his sleeve.
