Gou Sheng'er and others sent the women and children from Guhou Mansion and Muhou Mansion out. After they were settled, they found that there was a fire in Sixian Building.
They hurried back, only to learn that the Palace of Priests had been breached right after they left, and Mu Yunhan and others were besieged in Sixian Tower.
He didn't believe that Mu Yunhan would end up in this situation, so he organized people to search everywhere, but even after searching the Priest's Palace, he could not find Mu Yunhan and others.
Old Man Gu frowned: "When you escaped with the women and children, was there someone chasing you?"
Gou Sheng'er thought about it carefully and said: "There are people who are blocking it, but they are not insisting on letting go. They..."
His eyes lit up: "They seem to know that Madam is still in the Priest's Palace, so they focus more on attacking the Priest's Palace."
Old Man Gu closed his eyes: "Where is Mr. Sunflower?"
Gou Sheng'er shook his head: "I don't know, most of the temple has been burned down."
Someone outside whispered: "The bright moon is coming."
Old Man Gu hurriedly said: "Let him in quickly!"
When entering the city, Mingyue was ordered to bring a team of personal guards to the Priest's Palace to inform Mu Yunhan that Gu Fenglin had entered the capital and to help guard the place.
But Mingyue was not at the scene of the fire just now, which gave Old Man Gu some hope.
Mingyue was carried in, with an arrow on his shoulder, dying.
Old Man Gu quickly asked someone to diagnose and treat his wound: "What's wrong with you?"
Mingyue said: "When I rushed to the Priest's Palace, it happened to be attacked. The enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered, so I asked everyone to take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Priest's Palace and retreat immediately after finding Madam and Mr. Sunflower..."
At first they thought the only enemy was the unidentified army outside. Unexpectedly, after entering the Priest's Palace, they discovered that the imperial guards were setting fires, robbing and killing people everywhere.
Mu Yunhan's residence was empty, with no one around.
The temple was also empty, neither Bird Slave nor Sunflower was there.
Later, I found a dying official of the Priest Palace. He said that after Gou Sheng'er and others broke out, Mu Yunhan arranged for another group of people to break out.
As for herself, she took people to Sixian Tower, because Sixian Tower stands high and has a good view, which is convenient for offense and defense.
The official also said that at least three groups of people were plotting against Mu Yunhan, and that Mu Yunhan was very dangerous.
When he asked more carefully, the man was dead.
At this time, a fire also broke out in Sixian Building.
Mingyue hurriedly took people there and found that the Imperial Forest Army and the mysterious army were fighting each other outside Sixian Tower.
He wanted to fish in troubled waters and break into the building to save people, so he kept looking for a breakthrough.
In the rush, he saw several figures jumping out of the building. One of them was carrying a woman on his back. He thought it looked like Mu Yunhan, so he chased after him.
After chasing them out of the Priest's Palace, they finally surrounded these people, and an army rushed towards them, firing arrows at random without any explanation.
The doctor cut open the wound on Mingyue's shoulder with one knife.
Mingyue screamed and said tremblingly: "That army of unknown origin is from Qi."
"A native of Qi?" Old Man Gu found it unbelievable.
If there were traces of Qi people in this matter, he completely believed it, after all, Gu Fenglin was injured by Jiang Xu himself.
When Jiang Xu first came to Beijing for negotiations, he brought a team of about a hundred people, many of whom were experts.
But he didn't believe that such a large and well-equipped army suddenly appeared in Lanjing.
Even if the entire border of Zhao State was defeated and the Qi people advanced a lot into Zhao State, it would be impossible for such an army to appear in Lanjing without anyone noticing.
