In the secret passage, the players of the three major guilds were still rushing forward, wanting to return to the imperial mausoleum as soon as possible to support the imperial palace, but after all, the journey was long, and it would take at least ten minutes to get there.
Jinglan also quickly returned to the God of Craftsman Cave, immediately found the two elders Lingshi and Lingmu, and briefly told them the current situation.
"Since you are in trouble, of course we can't just sit back and ignore it, but how can we go over and help?" Gu Huai asked.
"Wait for Jinsi to come over later, she will take us into the imperial city." Jinglan said.
"Okay, let's go out and wait first." Lingshi also nodded quickly.
During this period of time, they have enjoyed abundant divine power in the God of Craftsman Cave. They have accumulated enough power, and there will be no problem even if they leave temporarily.
The three of them quickly walked out of the cave and stood in the misty valley, waiting quietly.
After a while, the mist dispersed, the flapping sound of wings was heard, the black giant beast slowly landed on the ground, and the witch had already arrived.
The three people quickly stood on the back of the giant beast and quickly flew into the air...
The palace city is now on full alert, and countless rebel soldiers are densely packed on the streets. Especially at the gate of the Prince's Mansion near the mountainside, a large number of rebel soldiers are densely packed, blocking all the gates of the Prince's Mansion.
.
Soldiers carried wooden boxes one by one and formed a long queue to enter the prince's mansion.
In the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, the second prince stood there, watching the soldiers carry the wooden boxes to the backs of various buildings and hide them, and then connected long black ropes to the opened box lids, and all
Connect wooden boxes in series.
"Your Highness, the explosives have been prepared and can be used at any time." A general in golden armor strode over and bowed respectfully.
"To make sure everything is safe, how powerful is the explosive?" the second prince asked with a frown.
"Your Highness, please rest assured. The general has personally inspected it and there is absolutely no problem. Once the explosives are ignited, the entire backyard of the Prince's Mansion will become a desert within seconds, and no one can escape." General Jin Jia nodded.
"Very good, you will ambush here, and I will go and invite the prince's brother." The second prince turned around with satisfaction, and strode towards the backyard gate of the prince's mansion under the escort of a group of soldiers...
The backyard of the Prince's Mansion is a huge square. Opposite the square is a tall golden tower, which stands halfway up the mountain between the cols. There are cliffs and cliffs on both sides. If you want to go to the palace, this is the only passage.
.
The second prince quickly walked out of the square with his guards. After showing his token, the city gate opened. He quickly entered the city gate and disappeared at the end of the long stone steps up the mountain...
Outside the princess's palace, there was a buzzing sound from the gate, and the heavy palace door slowly opened. Princess Ning Xin, with a frosty face, appeared in the open door with several maids.
In the wide street outside the gate, there was a dense team of soldiers standing all over the street.
A golden-armored general watched the door open and hurriedly walked to the door and bowed: "General, please join Your Royal Highness the Princess. Under the orders of Her Highness the Second Prince, there are demon spies sneaking into the palace to cause trouble. In order to protect the safety of Your Royal Highness, General Mo."
Personally lead the troops to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Brother Second Emperor is really interested, and you have worked hard. I want to see Brother Second Emperor, but I wonder where he is now?" Princess Ning Xin asked lightly.
"This... Your Highness, the appearance of demons in the palace city is a very important matter. Your Highness the Second Prince has immediately gone to the palace. Please make a special trip to deal with this matter. Please also ask Your Highness the Princess to stay in the palace temporarily until everything is dealt with.
It will return to normal after that." General Jin Jia said respectfully.
"I understand, General Lao will help me guard the mansion." Princess Ning Xin turned around and walked into the door, which was closed tightly again.
General Jinjia let out a long breath and continued to guard the door with his hand on the hilt of his sword...
"I just heard that the Second Emperor Brother has gone to the palace. If the Crown Prince returns to the Prince's Mansion, the situation will be unmanageable." Princess Ning Xin said nervously. She just went out just to find out the current situation of the Second Emperor Brother.
"But the trouble now is that the entire city outside the palace is controlled by the second prince. Even if my people come to support, I'm afraid they can only hold the city gate..." Li Ming said with a frown.
"It seems that we can only wait for General Qingfeng's army." Princess Ning Xin sighed.
"Your Highness, there is actually something I have always wanted to say, but please don't get angry first." Li Ming said hesitantly.
"What else are you hiding from me?" Princess Ning Xin asked in surprise.
"Your Highness, even if General Qingfeng's army comes over, they may not be able to take action directly. Once the two sides fight, if they don't understand the situation, it will easily cause the entire palace guard army to misunderstand General Qingfeng. At that time, the two sides will fight in a melee.
This is the result that the second prince wants..." Li Ming sighed.
"Ah...since you knew this was the case, why did you ask me to summon General Qingfeng to come for support?" Princess Ning Xin asked in surprise.
"In order to stabilize the situation, General Qingfeng's legion must come to help, but for them to participate in the war, there must be an excuse, that is, there is indeed a crisis in the palace... So we can only wait until the second prince takes action before we can take action.
"Li Ming said thoughtfully.
"What exactly do you mean, and how long should we wait for General Qingfeng to take action?" Princess Ning Xin's expression changed, as if she felt something was not good.
"The second prince's purpose is to deal with His Majesty and the Crown Prince so that he can secure the throne, and his first target is His Highness the Crown Prince. We can no longer stop him now, but as long as His Majesty's safety is kept, the Second Prince's conspiracy cannot be stopped
If he succeeds, General Qingfeng can use this as an excuse to lead the imperial guards into the palace to eliminate the rebels. Only in this way can the unsuspecting soldiers in the palace accept General Qingfeng's command." Li Ming said.
"I understand. You want to wait until the second emperor brother murders the crown prince brother... This is impossible. Nothing can happen to the crown prince brother!" Princess Ning Xin finally understood his plan, and her face suddenly turned pale.
"Your Highness, the situation is very critical right now. I'm afraid the prince can't be saved..." Li Ming sighed.
When he was guarding the princess's mansion just now, he finally calmed down and carefully sorted out the entire situation, and found that the current situation had exceeded his expectations. Although he prevented the rebels from entering the palace through a secret passage, the current situation
There are still many aspects that he cannot control.
Preventing the rebels from entering the imperial mausoleum has been the greatest restraint on the second prince's conspiracy. Otherwise, no one will be able to save the day after tens of thousands of troops in the manor enter the palace!
But now, the most dangerous step of the mission has been successfully solved. The second prince does not have much strength anymore. As long as he can successfully let General Qingfeng lead the army into the imperial city, and avoid misunderstandings with the palace guards, he can rush into the palace all the way.
Take complete control of the situation.
To achieve such a goal, he would not be able to guarantee the safety of His Royal Highness...
