On the other side, Xuanyuan Zhirong took Mu Jieyu, Wang Ke and others along the river outside the city on a bamboo raft and silently entered the small house in the middle of the lake of Prince Rong's Mansion, and then secretly discovered something unknown in the underground palace of Prince Rong's Mansion.
Unconsciously, he entered the Zichen Hall of the imperial palace.
As soon as they came out of the secret passage, Xuanyuan Zhiyue was already waiting there. As soon as he saw Xuanyuan Zhirong, he came up to him: "Third brother."
"How is the situation?" Xuanyuan Zhirong asked.
"As the third brother expected, Xuanyuan Zhiqi did not attack again." Xuanyuan Zhiyue replied, "The eleventh brother and his younger siblings have already pretended to be the boss and the Qiu family, and they are estimated to have arrived at the sixth by now."
"Knock knock knock." Xuanyuan Zhiyue was talking when someone knocked on the carved door of the main hall.
Xuanyuan Zhirong nodded, Wang Ke went to open the palace door, and saw Shui Lianqing striding in with Xuanyuan Zhizhang, who was tied up very firmly, and walked in front of Xuanyuan Zhirong. Shui Lianqing cupped her fists and bowed:
"His Majesty has sent the person he wanted."
Seeing this, Mu Jieyu quickly looked at Xuanyuan Zhirong. Only then did she realize that the Shui family was Xuanyuan Zhirong's family!
"I have worked hard for you this year. When this matter is over, I will give the Shui family their freedom. In the future, there will no longer be royal guards of the Shui family, only the Wulin Shui family!" Xuanyuan Zhirong nodded.
Shui Lianqing's watery eyes dazzled, she knelt down excitedly, and kowtowed deeply: "On behalf of the Shui clan, I would like to thank the Emperor for his kindness!"
Mu Jieyu looked at this scene in shock and did not come back to his senses until Shui Lianqing left.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Zhiyue said: "The Shui family has always been in the dark. Ten years ago, the third brother promised that once the third brother ascended the throne, he would give the Shui family their freedom. The Shui family had submitted to the third brother ten years ago."
Mu Jieyu nodded blankly, and then looked at Xuanyuan Zhizhang who was thrown to the ground.
Xuanyuan Zhiyue snorted coldly and looked at Xuanyuan Zhizhang mockingly: "A year ago, when he conspired with Lao Liu in Beizhao City, the third brother had already sent people to arrest Qiu Hengbo, and he stayed with him this year.
They are all Shui clan."
Mu Jieyu fell silent after hearing this. Xuanyuan Zhirong was simply a conspirator. He was best at seizing the enemy's weaknesses and winning by surprise at the most critical moment!
"boom--"
At this moment, there was a loud noise outside and the whole hall shook. Xuanyuan Zhirong's quick eyes and hands quickly took Mu Jieyu into his arms.
"Is this...Xuanyuan Zhiqi attacking the city again?" Mu Jieyu popped up from the crook of Xuanyuan Zhirong's arm and asked in disbelief.
Xuanyuan Zhiyue strode to the window, looking at the fire in the distance. She immediately stretched her lips and formed an extremely gentle and proud smile, but there was still a little worry in her slender phoenix eyes!
Xuanyuan Zhirong and Xuanyuan Zhiyue looked at each other, then lowered their heads and said to Mu Jie, "It should be the ninth younger brother and sister who destroyed Xuanyuan Zhiqi's cannonball."
Mu Jieyu's eyes lit up. The shells were destroyed and the artillery was useless. Xuanyuan Zhiqi was going to jump in!
Xuanyuan Zhiqi was really about to jump. He had just received the news that the Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun appeared out of nowhere and surrounded them. Moreover, they wore a kind of armor that was comparable to modern bulletproof vests. His army failed.
With the advantage of muskets, he was no match for the ruthless and experienced Yanyun Sixteenth Cavalry. He was about to help out when he saw his cannonballs blazing into the sky. He was as smart as him. What else didn't he understand?
?
At that moment, his face was so gloomy that it could drip with tears. Xuanyuan Zhiqi abandoned everyone and turned around to go another way.
