After a group of men in black changed into the clothes of the imperial guards, they walked out of the alley and headed straight for the imperial city. The imperial city was under strict security, with guards rowed every three meters and a brazier every five meters, lighting up the imperial city as bright as day.
"Commander Jian is in charge of the Imperial City. Have you noticed anything?" Seeing a group of Imperial Guards approaching the Imperial City from a distance, a captain of the Imperial Guards took two steps forward and asked.
"No, everything is normal." The person who answered was a leader of the imperial army who was parked ten meters away with his head lowered.
"It's strange, how come it's already dark and there's no movement in the city?" The captain who asked the question earlier muttered, "Could it be that our guards are too strict and we don't dare to come to rescue people?"
"It's possible." The leader of the army, Jian Yanzhi, looked back at the empty streets of Kyoto and the palace filled with fireworks, and said to the captain of the imperial army: "Take your team and go to the streets to patrol the streets."
"Yes, let's go. I'm going." The captain of the Forbidden Army did not doubt that he was there. He waved to the people under his team and left the imperial city with more than ten people holding torches.
Jian Yanzhi raised his head and looked at the woman who was tied to the city tower. She didn't know whether she was alive or dead. She turned to look at the leaving guards and waved to the people behind her. There were more than ten people behind her, arranged in groups of five to five.
Walking towards the defenders guarding the gate of the Imperial City, the other group walked towards the Imperial City.
In the blink of an eye, the ten defenders under the imperial city were all stunned by the smoke, died with their necks strangled, and were stuck in the darkness at the corner of the imperial city. Unless you look carefully, you can't see them at all.
The city soldiers in charge of the imperial city were all stunned. When they saw a figure wearing a uniform of the imperial army and carrying a sword entering the imperial city, he looked outside the city and said: "Commander Jian, everything is normal in the imperial city, and there is no movement outside the city."
As soon as the city soldier Du Wei finished his words, he saw a row of firelights lighting up in the distance outside the imperial city. Gradually the firelights merged into a long dragon, and then there were waves of horses crouching, which could still be heard clearly even though they were dozens of miles apart.
From this, it can be seen that the fire dragon in the distance and the roaring of horse hooves are the army rushing towards the imperial city. The soldiers in the city widened their eyes in shock, "No, there is a large army rushing towards the imperial city.
I'll report it..."
"Click..."
Before Cheng Bing Du Wei finished speaking, there was a "click" sound, and Cheng Bing Du Wei's neck was twisted at a strange angle, his head rotated to the back, and a terrible whining sound came from his neck.
As a "click" sound came from the neck of the city soldier Du Wei, the rest of the city defenders also screamed and fell down. He simply threw the body of the city soldier Du Wei directly from the tower, and the others followed.
Dispose of the body.
"Rescue the princess quickly." Jian Yanzhi ordered a few of his men, who immediately climbed to the edge of the tower and rescued the unconscious woman from the tall tower.
"Princess, the princess is not dead, right?" The man who rescued the woman stretched out his hand to detect the woman's breath, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the princess is not dead."
"Bring the princess to the master quickly," Jian Yanzhi raised his head and looked at the mighty and rushing army, laughed, and said: "Pass this message, the imperial city has been occupied, and we are ready to open the city gate."
"Yes." The two men lifted up the unconscious woman and ran down the imperial city to an invisible alley on Kyoto Street. They passed through countless twists and turns before stopping in front of a dilapidated house.
, opened an underground darkroom and carried the woman into the darkroom.
The darkroom was not big, only about ten square meters. There was a candle burning inside. A man was sitting at the table with a solemn expression. Hearing the sound of the darkroom door opening, he immediately got up and walked to the steps.
"Master, the princess has been rescued." The two men carried the woman down the steps and reported to the man who came forward: "The imperial city has been occupied by us, and the army has arrived outside the imperial city."
"Well, send the signal and take action." He Xuan took out a signal tube and handed it to the two people. He picked up the unconscious woman's cold body and placed it on the bed. He tucked in the quilt and wrapped the woman's thin body tightly.
"Lan'er, Lan'er wake up."
Seeing the woman's pale and bloodless face and body full of scars, He Xuan's heart ached, as if his heart was being eaten by thousands of silver needles. His eyes couldn't help but turn red. He held the woman's cold hand tightly and pushed his insides through the palm of his hand.
into the woman's body.
With her cold body, she felt a warm current flowing from her palms to all her limbs. The comatose woman gradually woke up from her coma. Her closed eyes slowly opened. When she saw the person in front of her clearly, the woman's eyes flashed.
Red, two lines of tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.
"Lan'er, it's okay, don't be afraid, it's okay." He Xuan wiped away the tears from the corner of the woman's eyes distressedly, holding her hand tightly, filled with self-blame, his red eyes full of pain, "Don't cry, Lan'er
Don't cry, it's okay, you're safe now, it's all the Emperor's fault, it's the Emperor who is sorry for you."
As he said that, Hexuan's tears couldn't stop flowing down. If he had insisted on not letting her return to the palace that night, she would not have been discovered. If he had found out earlier that he was being followed, she would not have come out to see him.
And was discovered.
It was his carelessness and selfish ambition that caused her to be covered in bruises...
Seeing the marks all over her body and the pain on her face, his heart was bleeding, and he was so heartbroken that he almost suffocated. This woman whom he had sworn to love and care for her whole life since she was a child, in order to help him, she did not hesitate to take the initiative to marry the emperor.
Risking his life, he went to the border, and now he was hurt like this.
He hated him so much that he had promised her in the first place and let her get involved in the storm. He leaned down and hugged the woman's body and whispered: "I'm sorry, Lan'er, for making you suffer. Promise Brother Huang, don't do it."
I give up on you, and I believe that the emperor will definitely take revenge on you."
"Brother Emperor." The weak voice was breathless, and the woman's red eyes were filled with tears, which could not stop falling like a stream. She sobbed in a low voice: "Brother Emperor, don't blame yourself, don't blame yourself.
"
"Take this pill, and you'll be fine soon." He Xuan took out a pill and fed it to the woman's mouth. He reached out to wipe away the tears on the woman's face, leaned down and kissed the woman's forehead, and kissed her tightly.
He held the woman's hand tightly and said: "You rest here, don't go out, wait for me to come back."
"You, you want..." Seeing He Xuan about to leave, the woman hurriedly grabbed He Xuan's hand, with a worried look on her face, "Danger, they, they laid the plan, the medicine was not successful."
"Don't worry, there is a large army to help. Our people have occupied the imperial city, and the people lurking in the dark have also begun to take action." He Xuan touched the woman's bloodless face and reassured her, "I will be fine.
, you rest here and wait for me to come back."
"Brother Emperor, he... I want to kill him..." The woman's weak voice was full of hatred, and the hand that tightly grasped He Xuan was shaking slightly, which showed the hatred and pain in the woman's heart, "I want to kill him with my own hands."
