Chapter 1652 Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?
The city gate was nearly half open when the Kyoji Guards guarding the city noticed it and immediately shouted: "Who is that?"
Of course they would not answer. Several people blocked the coming Kyoji Guards, and a few struggled to open the city gate.
The soldiers outside were waiting again. When they saw the city gate open, they all rushed in with strange screams. In an instant, there was a chaos at the city gate.
Su Letian saw that the matter was over and immediately asked everyone to leave.
Their skills are countless times better than those of ordinary Kyojiwei.
In addition, they were wearing Kyojiwei's clothes, and it was dark, so they quickly blended in with the crowd and disappeared.
The army from outside rushed in, and the general responsible for defending the city could not care about them at this time, shouting and lowering the city gate.
It's just that the cooperation between the various departments of the Kyoji Guards was not particularly tacit at first, and now they were in chaos again, with only a few people going to close the city gate.
But the thousand-pound gate closing the city gate was too heavy, and they couldn't put it down for a while.
At this time, the people outside had already attacked the city wall, and the two waves of people were fighting together.
The number of the Jingji Guards was originally not as large as the number of people in the camp outside the capital, and the Jingji Guards soon became unable to hold the city gate.
There was chaos at the city gate for about half an hour. After the situation was under control, the soldiers rushed towards the palace.
Tang Miaoxin saw the whole process in the common people's room. She sighed softly. The strength of the defenders in the capital was really hard to compliment.
Emperor Chengming spent all day calculating this and that, but he ignored the most basic things.
Su Letian and others had already taken off Jing Jiwei's clothes. After finding her, they killed the soldiers guarding the door and rushed out of the city gate with her.
At this time, the capital was in chaos, and everyone's defense points were inside. After the city gate was opened, no one cared about the affairs here anymore.
Although they encountered some resistance and lost a few people when they left the city, overall it went smoothly.
After they left the city, they ran towards Shilipo.
It was pitch black at the moment, with only a ruined temple standing there.
Although there was a lot of movement in the capital, and even though they were far away, they couldn't hear the shouts of killing from the other side, but they could still see the flames of the capital.
Tang Miaoxin looked at the fire over there and sighed almost inaudibly. She didn't know how Ning Guzhou was doing now.
She asked softly: "What time is it now?"
Mo Li replied: "It's already Haishi."
Tang Miaoxin and Ning Guzhou made an appointment to meet here at midnight, but now except for them, there is no movement here.
She breathed out an almost inaudible breath, and the worry in her eyes became a little more intense.
Su Letian didn't care much whether Ning Guzhou lived or died, but he was worried about Tang Miaoxin.
In his opinion, the capital was in such chaos now. They were only ten miles away from the capital. It was not safe here and they had to leave as soon as possible.
But he also knew that Tang Miaoxin had a deep love for Ning Guzhou. If he took her away by force at this time, she would only make her hate him.
Therefore, it is better to stay with her here at this time.
But in Su Letian's heart, he was not particularly optimistic about whether Ning Guzhou could join them safely.
His eyes deepened, and there was a faint worry in his heart.
Even though she had come all this way, Tang Miaoxin remained very calm.
But he knew very well that this was when Tang Miaoxin believed that Ning Guzhou was safe.
Once Tang Miaoxin knew that Ning Guzhou's life was in danger, with her temperament, she would dare to go back to find Ning Guzhou directly.
So he knew that for him at this time, it was the best way to stay here and wait for Ning Guzhou with her.
At this time, Ning Guzhou had already led his men into the palace.
There was chaos in the capital today, and although the palace was well prepared, his purpose was not to force the palace to seize the throne, and he was leading elite troops, so it was not particularly difficult to avoid the imperial guards.
It's just that tonight, other guards seemed to have been mobilized in the palace, and he was discovered when he entered the seventh palace gate.
A fierce battle began. By the time he led his men to Emperor Cheng Ming's palace, most of the guards he had brought with him had been damaged, and he was also injured.
Su Letian and Ning Changping entered the palace smoothly that night, partly because the Imperial Guards were dispatched en masse that night, and partly because Emperor Cheng Ming was not in the palace.
The situation tonight is completely different from that night.
This majestic palace is like a ferocious giant beast tonight, devouring all outside intruders with murderous intentions!
In Emperor Cheng Ming's chamber, he looked at Concubine Yu coldly and said, "As long as you persuade Lao Qi to kill Tang Miaoxin, I will spare your life."
Although most of the situation tonight was under his control, there were exceptions.
For example, Tang Miaoxin escaped from the imperial guards and Qi Jianlan, opened the city gate, and let the soldiers outside enter the city.
When he first got the news, he was simply unbelievable.
For this matter, he made extremely thorough preparations: he gave Qi Jianlan a human skin mask with a similar figure to Ning Guzhou.
But he didn't expect that under such circumstances, Tang Miaoxin would be able to recognize that Ning Guzhou was fake.
He was previously afraid that people from the Su family would come to help Tang Miaoxin, and today he set a trap for the three brothers of the Su family, making them think that Tang Miaoxin was in the palace.
Unexpectedly, Su Letian was extremely alert and quickly saw through the trap he had set up. He led his men to kill him and went to Tongda Inn to find Tang Miaoxin.
No matter whether Emperor Cheng Ming is willing to admit it or not, no matter how cunning he is and no matter how sophisticated his layout is, he cannot influence people's hearts.
Although he did not underestimate Tang Miaoxin and Su Letian, it was still impossible to guess all their reactions.
Even if Emperor Ming was an emperor, he would not be able to control the entire situation when the gears of fate were turning.
From the moment Su Letian escaped from the city gate with Tang Miaoxin, he completely escaped from the control of Emperor Cheng Ming. Things started to get out of control tonight.
Although he had already taken precautions to avoid losing control of the entire capital, as Ning Guzhou got closer and closer to his palace, he became a little anxious.
For Ning Guzhou, Yu Bin is the biggest weakness.
Although he doesn't know where Tang Miaoxin has gone now, Ning Guzhou knows.
In addition to purging the forces in the capital tonight, he also wanted to kill Tang Miaoxin.
As long as Ning Guzhou is threatened with Yu Bin, Ning Guzhou can make the choice he wants.
He tried this trick time and time again.
Concubine Yu looked at the ferocious-looking Emperor Cheng Ming in front of her. Her face was as calm as ever, and her whole person showed an unprecedented calmness.
She said quietly: "I will not agree to your request."
"You can't do anything to Jiuge, but you only bully her daughter. You are really disgusting."
Emperor Chengming raised his hand and gave her a slap in the face because he was so angry that he couldn't hold it back and even coughed twice.
Emperor Chengming said angrily: "How dare you scold me! Believe it or not, I will kill you!"
