That night, in this huge imperial capital, many people were unaware of what happened.
Especially in the area of fireworks and willow alleys in the north of the city, there is always singing and dancing, and it feels like "business girls don't know the hatred of the country's subjugation, but they are still singing in the backyard across the river".
But there were also many people who were made panicky, such as the Dukes Gonggun in the court.
These big bosses with a relatively sensitive sense of politics seemed to be able to predict that the imperial capital would be a river of blood. They hid in their homes and waited silently for the outcome to be revealed.
The prince led his army to control the city gate, and easily provoked the rebels with words, so that the rebel subordinates cut off the heads of their commanders in exchange for a chance to live.
When the twelve city gates of the imperial capital were tightly closed, how could it be possible to easily capture this majestic city without tens of millions of troops gathering together?
What's more, there is another army outside the city ready to poke their way out at any time.
And inside the Imperial City, those swords and swords came and went even faster. Before they saw the waiting army, they had already been captured by the Xuanyitang Warlocks who were stationed in the Imperial City.
People from the Demon Sect, evil organizations, big bosses, and minions all surfaced one after another.
When Mu Jiuge returned to the palace with Xuan Qingwei, the battle in the imperial city had ended.
An old man with a white face and no beard, holding a fly whisk, saluted to Mu Jiuge, "Thank you, old minister, for living up to your duty! A total of 168 thieves were killed, including 76 from evil organizations."
"Thank you, Mr. Qiu, get up!" Mu Jiuge raised his big hand, "How many of you are strong?"
"Eight people in the Golden Core Realm and two people in the Nascent Soul Realm."
Mu Jiuge shook his head and sighed, "Sure enough, all of them are masters who don't see rabbits and don't let go of hawks. The old guys are quite tolerant. The numbers are quite different from what I imagined!"
"I'm ashamed, veteran! Not only did those two people do nothing, but they even helped me. It's hard for me to directly attack those who have merit." The old man sighed, looking a little bitter.
"It doesn't matter. After this battle, I believe they will keep a low profile."
The Chaotang is not a sect. It is much more difficult to break into a sect than it is to break into a Chaotang. Mu Jiuge is aware of this.
After all, all kinds of transactions such as money, power, beauty, etc., can be said to be inexhaustible and suppressed under this glamorous court.
Mu Jiuge said as he put his hands behind his back and walked towards the imperial study, "Send someone to summon the six ministers and cabinet ministers to the Qianyuan Hall to discuss matters. I have something to discuss with them..."
Not long after, Prince Mu Yuan carried several bloody heads into the palace, while Grand Sun Muchen pressed Zhennan Wang Mu Sheng and Prince Mu He into the palace to ask for instructions.
Seeing the maids and eunuchs in the palace busy sweeping and washing, the smell of blood still lingering in the air that could not be completely dissipated for a while, Zhennan Wang Mu Sheng and Shi Zimu He turned pale.
But their steps were very steady, and they looked like they were not afraid of being shattered into pieces. Those who didn't know better thought they were preparing to serve generously!
…
On the other side, the little puppets pretending to be little Taoist priests were imprisoned by the Prince of the East Palace.
The Prince's Mansion in the East Palace is also within the imperial city, but the previous battle in the palace did not affect the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace, but it still caused some panic among the people here.
It wasn't until Taisun Muchen came back with Princess Qingqing and the others that everyone relaxed. The Crown Princess hugged Princess Qingqing and started crying.
When she cried, the little princess also cried too.
The young Taoist priest and the others were taken to a side courtyard, and then servants brought wine and food.
"Huh? Little Taoist priest, where are your junior brothers? Why are you the only one?"
A cute and clear voice sounded behind him, and a green figure came gently with a fragrant breeze, looking at him with big eyes without blinking.
The little Taoist glanced at her and said, "If a layman doesn't go to rest after crying, what's the point of looking for a poor Taoist?"
The little princess rolled her eyes at him. She was not afraid of strangers and sat down directly on the stone bench next to her. "Little Taoist priest, which mountain do you practice on?"
"Void Mountain!"
"Void Mountain? Never heard of it."
"The vast land of Yuezhou has beautiful mountains and clear waters and countless green hills. How can I remember coming here?"
"Indeed, I heard that there are many fairies on the mountain who can stay young forever and have an ageless appearance..." the little princess said, holding her little face in her hands with a look of longing.
The young Taoist priest smiled when he heard this, looked at her sideways, and finally shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, you are not a practitioner and have no chance of practicing this Tao. However, I do know that there is a pill..."
"You are talking about the Beauty Pill! I know that Imperial Physician Mu can refine it, but he said that this kind of pill cannot maintain youth forever, it can only delay aging..."
The little Taoist priest looked at her speechlessly, "Wasn't the female layman afraid before?"
"Do you mean turning into a cow? I'm afraid! I cried for a long time! My subordinates... I also felt sad for them for a long time!"
"Then you must be tired from crying! Go and rest!"
"It's not tiring, and with the little Taoist brother here, I'm not afraid now. The Taoist brother will definitely protect me, right?"
Little Princess Qingqing blinked at him with her big eyes, thinking about the little Taoist priest who seemed to descend from the sky and rescued her from the hands of evil people, and the excitement of escaping from death made her heart palpitate.
"Brother, the little Taoist priest?" The little Taoist priest was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Stop, if you count it by generation, you have to call me uncle, the poor Taoist master. It's not okay to call me brother."
"Huh? Uncle Master? Little Taoist priest, don't think you can lie to me when I'm young!" The little girl's eyes widened, her little face puffed up, and she stared at him fiercely.
The little Taoist raised his glass and drank, and said with a smile: "Why are you lying to me? Even though I am young, I am already fifty-nine years old this year, and next year I will be sixty years old! I am more than enough to be your grandfather."
"Don't believe it, I don't believe it, you prove it!"
Little Taoist: "..."
"Ah! I'm tired. Let's go and take a rest. Lay people, please help yourself!"
The little Taoist smeared the soles of his feet with oil and ran away with a wine bottle. The little princess stomped her little feet, pursed her lips, and shouted at his back: "Little Taoist, you can't escape!"
The little Taoist priest who slipped back into the room thought to himself: It seems that next time I can no longer pretend to be a young Taoist priest, I have to pretend to be an eighty-year-old man. Alas! My damn charm has nowhere to go!
However, I feel somewhat proud when I think that I have managed to break into the prince's influence so smoothly, that I was invited to the prince's residence by my grandson, and that I am so close to my senior brother Mu Jiuge.
Well, you can't rush, you can't rush, no matter how safe you are, the palace is not safe.
While muttering in his heart, he quietly explored his surroundings with his consciousness.
Soon, he muttered to himself: Darling, there are countless formations hidden under this imperial city! One formation, two formations... thirty-six formations... seventy-two formations... two rituals and three talents, four images and five elements,
Liuhe Seven Stars, Bagua Nine Palaces, Twenty-Eight Constellations, Tiangang Earth Evil... Once these formations are activated, not to mention that the imperial city is impregnable, but it is not that easy to capture it.
The little puppets that you never give up are wandering among the countless arrays, and they are like treasures.
At the same time, in the Qianyuan Hall, Dai Viet Emperor Mu Jiuge told his ministers a decision that made everyone feel like a bolt from the blue - abdication!
