Mingruo retracted her little foot and said, "I'm fine. Go and see who's knocking on the door."
His Royal Highness Prince Yun put on his clothes and stood up, opening the door with a dark face.
Tian Quan, who was about to knock on the door for the third time, would have rushed in if he hadn't reacted quickly enough: "Your Highness... Your Highness..."
Tianquan is the leader of the shadow guards under the Supreme Emperor. Why does he knock on the door at night? "What's the matter?"
"The third prince's private troops have marched ten miles outside the north city gate. They also have Hongyi artillery purchased from the Rakshasa Kingdom. They should be here to attack the imperial capital.
"Yes." The door of the dormitory closed against the tip of Tianquan's nose.
Si Haochen walked back to the dormitory. Mingruo heard their conversation and had already put on his pajamas.
Si Haochen raised his hand and smoothed Mingruo's long hair: "You go to sleep. I'll check on the situation. I won't be back until dawn."
"It will be very dangerous." Mingruo couldn't figure it out. The third prince's legs were not fully healed yet, so he was eager to come out and act like a monster!
"Don't worry, Lao San's private soldiers are secretly approaching the imperial capital. The Supreme Emperor has grasped the movement early in the morning. There are already Northwest Army and Su family troops stationed near the imperial capital, and the Supreme Emperor has recruited soldiers from other places to support him. Lao San can't afford it.
What kind of storm is coming?" Si Haochen said and had already put on his armor.
Mingruo stood in the corridor, watching Si Haochen, who was dressed in military uniform, striding away. Suddenly he clicked his exquisite little wings: "Hurry up and follow me to protect you, Ba Ba."
"Okay!" Linglong turned into a stream of light, quickly caught up with Si Haochen, and landed steadily on his shoulder.
Si Haochen saw the little thing glowing with golden light following him, and a slight smile appeared on his lips - if this could make his little wife feel at ease, he wouldn't mind taking Linglong with him.
"Princess, the wind has picked up at night. Please go back to your bedroom quickly." Ji Yue took a coat and put it on the princess's shoulders.
"Yeah." Mingruo returned to the bedroom and sat blankly by the window.
"Princess, my maidservant will serve you to rest." Ji Yue arranged the bed and added some soothing spices to the incense burner.
"Oh." Mingruo took off her outer clothes and climbed onto the couch.
Ji Yue was about to put out the candle, but was stopped by Ming Ruo: "No need to put out the light."
Although Si Haochen said that he would not come back until dawn, Mingruo stubbornly wanted to leave a light for the 'great hero' who guarded the imperial capital.
"Yes." Jiyue put the candlestick back on the table, turned around and put down the bed curtain.
Then, he walked to the outside and sat down on the footrest of the Luohan bed. There was no need to keep vigil in the dormitory on weekdays, but now that the prince was away, it would definitely not be possible to leave the princess alone.
His Royal Highness, Prince Yun, had his good deeds interrupted and had nowhere to vent his anger. He did not wait for the third prince's private soldiers to attack the city, but directly led his troops five miles outside the imperial capital to fight with the opponent.
The third prince was unable to lead the troops because he injured his leg, so it was his generals who commanded the battle this time.
The general was caught off guard - he had agreed to make a sneak attack at night and seize the imperial capital without anyone noticing? How could he have sealed the city gate of the imperial capital before he even saw it?
His Royal Highness Prince Yun took the lead, waving the spear in his hand in retaliation. With one shot, he pierced through a string of enemy soldiers, paying for his 'fire'.
The general wiped the sweat from his head. The opponent was arrayed to meet the enemy. It seemed that he was well prepared. Moreover, by the light of the torch, he could see that the position of the opponent's coach was empty. What on earth was going on?
Seeing the enemy approaching closer and closer, the general finally came to his senses and said, "Come here, load the Hongyi artillery!"
Since Si Haochen was at the front, he naturally noticed that the other party was adjusting the muzzle of the gun. Si Haochen saw the fuse being ignited, and he seemed to be able to hear the crackling sound of the sinister little spark.
I promised my daughter-in-law that I would try my best not to use weapons made of gunpowder on the battlefield. But if the other party 'fouled' first, it was self-defense.
Si Haochen waved his hand, and buglers blew their horns. Several secret guards dressed in black armor, like a gust of night wind, accurately threw explosive packets at the enemy's artillery.
However, this Hongyi artillery is quite crude, and is no different from the artillery installed by Si Haochen on the warship. It takes a long time from lighting the fuse to firing.
Just when the general was imagining that the soldiers on the opposite side would be blown up and knocked upside down, he heard a few loud bangs, bang, bang, bang, and his own side was blown up first. The most terrifying thing was that, originally, he was blown up.
The cannonball in the barrel was ignited by the explosive before it could be fired, and exploded in the barrel.
Not only did it blow up our own side, but even the artillery was completely blown to pieces under the double explosion.
The general felt frightened. The Hongyi artillery was their biggest trump card in this operation. It was blown up before it could be used, but it was okay!
Without the Hongyi artillery on the other side, Prince Yun didn't have to worry about the artillery hurting people. With his aura, it was clear that he was going to kill him without leaving a trace.
When Si Haochen directly approached the opponent, the general said with trembling lips: "Yun...Prince Yun..."
"Humph!" His Royal Highness Prince Yun was angry at everyone now. It was these little guys who delayed himself (with his wife in his arms) from sleeping.
Si Haochen only used three moves to knock the opponent off his horse with a spear. The general's martial arts were also good. While he was rolling on the spot, he sandwiched three hidden weapons that had been tempered with poison.
The sound of breaking wind came straight towards Si Haochen.
Si Haochen narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing that such a hidden weapon was very similar to the hidden weapon he had in mind a few years ago.
Before Si Haochen could dodge, Linglong opened her wings to protect Ba Ba. Three hidden weapons hit Linglong's invulnerable wings, causing several clusters of sparks to fly.
The general's pupils shrank because he was so surprised - no matter what kind of armor Prince Yun wore, he couldn't be stopped when the hidden weapon was still three feet away from him!
The green hills were left without worrying about having no firewood. Seeing that the situation was over, the general wanted to raise the white flag and surrender: "Your Highness Prince Yun... I surrender..."
Linglong saw the other party using poison in front of her, and wanted to harm Ba Ba. She couldn't bear this bad temper, and all kinds of poisonous scale powder was sprinkled on her pocket as if for free. Not to mention the general, there were soldiers guarding him around him.
They were all affected, and the area within three meters of the body became a 'vacuum zone', and everyone was too dead to die.
"Remember to beg for mercy in the next life and say it quickly. This death is too hasty..." Si Haochen originally wanted to interrogate the origin of the hidden weapon, but let him die. Since this person is Lao San's confidant, he will go with it.
This clue is not difficult to trace.
After all, the Gu spirit raised by my wife can do everything right!
