It was already midnight, and in the outer city of the Imperial City of Destiny, there were still many players online at night who were hurriedly accepting tasks and leaving the city to level up. However, the inner city, especially the area near the Imperial City Mountain, was almost sparsely populated.
The sound of footsteps kept ringing on the quiet street. Li Ming and Lonely Ruyan rode their horses and ran all the way, quickly rushing towards the left gate of the Imperial City Mountain...
According to the location of the secret passage they found in the manor, Tianyou Mountain is on the left side of the Imperial City, so this secret passage will also pass under the city gate on the left side of the Imperial City Mountain and lead to the imperial mausoleum on the left cliff of the Imperial City Mountain.
Location!
Behind Li Ming sat a graceful witch, and the two mounts walked side by side, rushing through the long streets towards the tall tower in the distance.
At this time, the tower on the left side of the Imperial City Mountain was also very lively. Suddenly, a group of heavily armored soldiers came into the city. The number almost reached a thousand. The leader of this thousand-man army was the general who led the army not long ago.
General Qing Feng, wearing night clothes, exploring the manor with Li Ming.
But now General Qingfeng was already wearing the mighty general's armor, holding military orders in one hand and pressing the sword on his waist with the other, leading the mighty soldiers to the city gate quickly.
He obtained important information this time, and as soon as he returned to the military camp, he immediately issued an order, asking his tens of thousands of Imperial City Guards to immediately start changing defenses. Tens of thousands of troops were mobilized to garrison all the passages leading to the middle of the Imperial City Mountain, increasing the number of Imperial City Guards.
defensive power.
At the same time, he also sent thousands of people to the three city gates for emergency defense, and personally led people to the left city gate to prepare for Li Ming's arrival.
"I am ordering you from this general. From today on, the three gates of the Imperial City will be in a state of emergency defense. No one is allowed to enter or exit without my permission!" General Qing Feng shouted loudly.
Wow!
"Respectfully obey the general's orders!"
There was a neat sound of armor knocking, and all the soldiers and officers bowed and saluted, and the neat answers echoed through the night sky.
Although there must be people belonging to the second prince hidden among the tens of thousands of imperial troops, General Qingfeng knew in his heart that the situation in the manor tonight had confirmed the second prince’s ambition, and the enemies in the manor also discovered that outsiders had entered the manor to spy.
…
No matter what, the second prince will definitely take action. General Qingfeng doesn't have much to worry about now. He must strengthen the defense of the imperial city and let the second prince know that if he dares to act rashly, at least he can't control the imperial city army, and he can't do anything.
Don't dare to be too arrogant...
This is also the advice Li Ming put forward to General Qing Feng. Now that he has strengthened his defense, he can also make the second prince throw a rat weapon.
As additional defense manpower was deployed at the three gates of the Imperial City, a large number of soldiers immediately appeared at the foot of the entire Imperial City, and all the passages leading to the mountain were defended by several times more soldiers.
It is a pity that no matter how many troops General Qingfeng has, he cannot lead his soldiers past the archway and into the mountainside. That area does not belong to his defense area. Once he enters beyond his authority, he will be immediately deemed to be up to no good, which will be dealt with by the second prince.
His excuse.
There is only so much he can do now, and the rest can only be pinned on Her Royal Highness the Princess and Ming Baibai...
Buzz!
The city gate on the left slowly opened under the command of General Qing Feng. He personally led the guards out of the city and stood at the door waiting nervously.
The sound of horse hooves kept ringing from far away on the long street. As two white shadows flickered, Li Ming and Lonely Ruyan rode the Wind Shadow Beast to the outside of the city gate at the same time.
Jumping off their mounts, the three of them quickly walked to General Qing Feng...
"With the general's token, you can go all the way to the outer city of the palace, but that is the territory of the Forbidden Army. Whether you can get in or not, the general has no choice." General Qingfeng immediately handed over a token.
"I know, we don't have to go in, the princess will come out on her own." Li Ming smiled lightly.
"That's great." General Qingfeng immediately turned around and led the three of them into the imperial city gate...
After sending them into the city, General Qingfeng stayed at the city gate and watched the three of them quickly cross the large plains and military camps at the foot of the mountain and disappear into the dark night...
As she hurried on, the witch seemed extremely excited.
"Wow, the gods and demons have been fighting for thousands of years, and I am the first demon to enter the Imperial City of Destiny openly." The witch chuckled.
"You are no longer a demon." Li Ming responded calmly.
The three of them quickly approached the archway gate at the foot of the mountain. There was also a passage going up the mountain at the foot of the mountain on the left, but this passage was somewhat different from the mountain paths in the middle and on the right.
Because only the left mountain road has two forks on the mountainside, the right fork can lead all the way to the mountainside, join the middle and right passages, and then go straight to the Imperial Palace City.
The fork on the left leads to the Tomb of the Emperor of Heaven. This is also the only dedicated passage in the entire Imperial City Mountain.
The three of them took out their tokens and easily passed through the large number of security guards at the foot of the mountain. They quickly moved towards the mountain. Ten minutes later, they had climbed up the high mountainside. Looking back, they saw the foot of the Imperial City Mountain in the night.
, you can have a panoramic view of all the scenes in the outer city that are already far away.
The huge imperial city shines with countless stars in the night, looking particularly spectacular.
"Sister Witch, I wonder if the Chaos Imperial City is exactly the same as our Destiny Imperial City?" Lonely Ruyan asked curiously.
"No, Chaos Imperial City is all black buildings, and the terrain is different from yours." The witch shook her head and replied.
"If you want to know what the Chaos Imperial City looks like, just check it out on the official website." Li Ming said with a smile.
The three of them continued to climb up the mountain road, and soon came to a fork in the road halfway up the mountain...
Looking at the bifurcated roads in front of me, one to the left and one to the right, I saw that the path on the left was an important location for the second prince's conspiracy. The Tomb of the Emperor of Heaven was at the end of this passage.
But he didn't have time to check the situation of the imperial mausoleum now, so he quickly led the two beauties along the passage on the right.
After walking for a certain distance, a mountain platform appeared in front, where all three passages at the foot of the mountain converged, forming a road leading directly to the outer city of the palace.
Standing on the platform, you can even see the city wall above your head...
"We are right here. We can't enter the outer city of the palace anyway." Li Ming stood on the platform, immediately exhaled the package, took out a short jade flute...
Lonely Ruyan understood that Li Ming was preparing to contact Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Phew…
Blow the jade flute and a strange sound rises into the night sky.
Before waiting for a minute, the sound of popping sounded from mid-air, and a black shadow fell from the sky and landed directly on Li Ming's shoulder, scaring him badly.
But when he saw clearly that there was a majestic eagle standing on his shoulder, he understood that this was the princess's spiritual eagle that had been summoned and appeared quickly.
According to the method the princess told him, it doesn't take much trouble for the spirit eagle to send messages. He just needs to tell the spirit eagle the information he wants to convey, and it will quickly bring the message to its master.
"Tell Her Royal Highness that there is something important, so please come to the mountainside platform to meet her!" Li Ming said seriously.
