Chapter 2632 This officer suspects that you have ulterior motives, General Yuchi, intending to imprison the prince
Yu Zhining lay on the couch for a long time, but he couldn't fall asleep because something was on his mind.
After all, General Cheng's operations today made Yu Zhining unable to settle down.
Especially when I think about the great changes that took place in Jiangdu Palace in the past that led to the death of the previous Emperor Sui Yang here, the more I think about it, the more guilty I feel.
Even though His Highness the Crown Prince had already left Jiangdu Palace under the persuasion of himself and General Cheng.
Yu Zhining, who was tossing and turning and unable to sleep, simply put on his outer clothes, got up and came to the table.
The followers who were awakened quickly came over and lit the candlestick on the eucalyptus head, and were about to ask their master what happened.
At this time, I faintly heard the noise coming from the distance.
Yu Zhining jumped up in excitement, rushed forward and pushed open the door with all his strength.
When he saw the fire rising into the sky from the southwest, his face changed drastically.
The ominous cloud in his heart seemed to have finally become a reality at this moment, and Yu Zhining felt relieved.
"Come here, bring me my saber, and immediately give orders to Deputy Gu to quickly send people to control the fire, sound the gong, and order everyone not to make any noise or run around!"
Unfortunately, Yu Zhining was too far away from the fire place, and the southwest direction of Dongcheng was already in chaos.
From time to time, a dark shadow would rush out from the narrow alley, and with a series of fierce sword flashes, they would chop down the frightened and helpless Dong Palace attendants and officials.
There are also the East Palace Forbidden Army coming over, and they are launching a counterattack against the masked black-clothed assassins.
The sound of gongs, the light of fire reaching into the sky, and the screams of people soon resounded throughout the entire east city of Jiangdu Palace.
Zhang Xuansu, who was lying in his clothes and snoring like thunder, was awakened by the rapid knocking on the door.
More and more East Palace officials and attendants were awakened, and soon everyone realized something was wrong. It was clear that someone was taking advantage of the chaos to kill people.
The entire Dongcheng is really in chaos.
At this moment, the flames soaring into the sky also alerted the East Palace Forbidden Army in Jiangdu Palace and the elite Zuotun Guards stationed outside the palace.
Having sent the prince back to the dock, he rushed back again. Not long after he lay down, General Cheng was startled by the news of the chaos in the east city, and he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with contentment.
"Commander, something is happening in the east city. Someone is setting fire to the city and killing people in the city. Do we need reinforcements?"
The general in charge of the night watch rushed over quickly and reported loudly.
"Why are you panicking? No matter how chaotic Dongcheng is, our Zuotun Guard will never be chaotic."
"You immediately lead people, open the north and south gates of the east city, and let the people in the city escape outside the city.
All those who escaped will be detained by the commander on the spot, and no one shall escape."
"Instruct the other battalions to block the four gates of Jiangdu Palace for me, and strictly prohibit entry and exit."
"I want to see which blind bastard dares to provoke me."
"Commander, why don't we enter Jiangdu Palace?"
"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. Even if there are bad guys in Jiangdu Palace, they will not disturb His Royal Highness."

Just after the change in Dongcheng, Yuchi Baoqing rushed to Fenglin Palace as soon as Zhuxiang could do it.
He ordered the East Palace Forbidden Army under his command to surround the entire Maple Forest Palace.
The Jiangdu Palace guards who were originally guarding here were all driven away by Yuchi Baoqing's order and were not allowed to come near.
Ning Zhong, who had been standing in a daze in the light, seemed very nervous at the moment. He was relieved when he saw the fat and strong Yuchi Baoqing coming.
After bowing to Yuchi Baoqing, he deliberately said loudly.
"Thank you, General Yuchi, for guarding here. Let's go in and out to appease His Highness."
"Here comes Eunuch Laoning." Yuchi Baoqing, who came following Ma Shan, was not used to acting, but he still cooperated stiffly.
He turned around and looked at those standing at the foot of the steps, all holding knives and spears, and warily looking at the East Palace Imperial Guards outside.
At this moment, another group of forbidden troops hurried over, and this group of forbidden troops only consisted of dozens of people, and they were all sword and shield wielders.
Although it was not the huge infantry shield that was used in the sand battle, but a hand-rowed round shield, the arrival of these sword and shield hands gave the spear-wielding Dong Palace Imperial Army a bit more completeness.
Soon, more than 20 shooters arrived one after another. They were all ordered by Yuchi Baoqing to shrink to the steps of Maple Forest Palace.
Accompanied by Yuchi Baoqing's loud shouts, which sounded like thunder, soon, the defense of Maple Forest Palace was completed.
Farther away were the guards of Jiangdu Palace who had been driven away.
They did not move away, but stayed not far away, talking in low voices, and were very dissatisfied with the arrogance and rudeness of this group of Zidong Palace Imperial Guards.
At this moment, a large number of over a hundred palace guards walked quickly towards this direction, with Palace Supervisor Xiao walking at the front.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Palace eunuch Xiao, who was shouting loudly and walking quickly, soon appeared in Yuchi Baoqing's sight.
"Anyone who comes, stop and don't come near!" Seeing this scene, Yuchi Baoqing's face sank and his voice was like thunder.
The huge stern sound caused Palace Supervisor Xiao to freeze in his steps, and then he heard the urging sound behind him.
Palace Supervisor Xiao gritted his teeth and stamped his feet. He suddenly pointed his sword like a sword and pointed directly at Yuchi Baoqing, the son of Yuchi Gong, the first powerful general of the Tang Dynasty, who was standing on the steps of Fenglin Palace.
"General Yuchi, please quickly move out of the way. I have been ordered by General Cheng to defend Fenglin Palace."
"If General Yuchi continues to obstruct you, then I will not blame you for suspecting that you, General Yuchi, have ulterior motives and intend to imprison His Highness the Crown Prince."
"...bastard!" Yuchi Baoqing was furious and held his front finger directly.
"What a thief, how dare you insult a certain family!"
At this moment, Ning Zhong stepped out of the door, and the sharp and harsh voice of the eunuch, the confidant next to His Royal Highness, was instantly heard in the commotion of the crowd.
We have already reached this point, we have been honest with each other, how can Palace Supervisor Xiao dare to give up when he is just trembling at the last moment?
Even if he wanted to give up, that gang of brutal soldiers would not let him go, let alone his whole family.
But at this moment, when the palace guards who had been making noise heard this, they couldn't help but slow down their steps.
Palace Supervisor Xiao took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and shouted loudly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is resting. General Yuchi is responsible for the entire defense of Maple Forest Palace. Supervisor Xiao Palace, you have nothing to do here."
"Since it is the order of His Highness the Crown Prince, please allow Eunuch Ning to allow me to enter the palace to have an audience."
"Prince Xiao, are you deaf? We all say that His Highness the Crown Prince is resting." Ning Zhong's face suddenly darkened and he said in a stern voice.
Palace Supervisor Xiao paused for a moment. At this moment, the palace guard general named Lu Da beside him suddenly shouted loudly.
"Such a big thing has happened in Jiangdu Palace. Please ask His Highness the Crown Prince to show up to calm the morale of the army."
