Liu Yiming hurriedly hid under the female wall, not daring to show even a little fur.
"Imperial Guards, Imperial Guards!" Liu Yiming shouted loudly, "Hurry up and escort me downstairs with your shield!"
More than a dozen imperial guards assembled a small mobile house with shields and came to Liu Yiming's side. Liu Yiming hid in this small "house".
"Quick, get down to the city!"
The imperial guards moved the "Little House" slowly, Liu Yiming only heard flying arrows clanging on the top and sides of his head and sides like rain, falling on the top and sides of the moving "Little House", frightened Liu Yiming's heart jumped to his throat in the eyes.
It wasn't until he got off the tower and was far away from the north gate that Liu Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, sighing that he had finally recovered his life. He didn't go to the palace either, he went straight back to his Imperial Palace, picked up important treasures, and prepared to escape for his life.
While panicking, an eunuch walked into Yushifu.
"Master Liu, you want to..."
Liu Yiming was only focused on packing his things, he didn't even notice that someone was coming from outside the door, he was so frightened that he fell on the bed, staring at the person with terrified eyes: "You...you are..."
The eunuch knew a thing or two when he saw the burden on Liu Yiming's bed, but he just sneered in his heart, Li Hai actually used such a greedy person and fear of death as his confidant.
The eunuch said: "Lord Liu, I am the eunuch next to Concubine Ziyan. The concubine asked me to send you a message. She is now in the gazebo in the imperial garden, waiting for you to discuss important matters."
Under such a critical situation, what can Ziyan have to discuss? Could it be that she was going to run away with him
"Okay, you go back first, I changed my official uniform and went to the palace to meet the noble concubine."
The eunuch added another sentence: "The noble concubine is very anxious, Wanwang Master Liu will go there quickly, don't neglect."
Liu Yiming thought about it and asked, "Did the imperial concubine tell you what it was about?"
The eunuch shook his head: "The noble concubine didn't say anything explicitly, she just said it was about Master Liu's future."
If Zi Yan hadn't really had something important to do, he would never have called the eunuch to invite him. Therefore, Liu Yiming put down his clothes first, changed into a set of official uniforms, and went to the palace.
Outside the north gate, Yan Li was rescued by Song Qiang, and rushed into the army formation. The two didn't get off their horses until they were far away from the range of the imperial guards.
"Prime Minister Yan, what's the matter?" Song Qiang asked.
Yan Li narrowly escaped death, but regained his life, he relaxed his muscles and bones, "Nothing happened, thank you brother for saving me!"
Song Qiang said angrily: "This stupid king dares to attack you, which is tolerable or unbearable."
Yan Li didn't care about his own life, what he cared about was Rong Chang'an's safety, "I don't know what's going on with Chang'an now..."
Song Qiang said: "You have also seen the current situation. Apart from attacking the city, entering the capital and the palace, there is no other way to save General Rong."
Yan Li looked at the towering city tower, gritted his teeth, "General Song, give the order to attack the city!"
Before Rong Changan left Waqiao Pass, he had asked Song Qiang to listen to Yan Li's command, so he had to ask Yan Li's consent to attack the city. Now that Yan Li agreed, Song Qiang rode out of the battle again, pointing his sword at the palace.
"Soldiers, take down the imperial city. Tomorrow morning, let's have a dinner together!"
Following Song Qiang's order, one hundred thousand troops attacked the city in batches. Stones, gunpowder, and flying arrows all fell on the tower of the North Gate, killing and wounding an unknown number of guards.
After a round of blows, tools for attacking the city and hitting the door came forward. A ladder was built on the north city gate, and the huge wooden stake hit the fragile north gate fiercely. Boom! Boom! The imperial guards on the entire north gate tower heard the crash.
"Kill!"
"Come on!"
"Save General Rong!"
"Kill the faint king and avenge the people of the world!"
In front of the 100,000 troops, the imperial guards at the north gate had no resistance, and retreated downstairs one after another, fleeing for their lives. It only took half an hour for Yan Li and Song Qiang to break through the north gate of the imperial capital.
Song Qiang and Yan Li divided their troops into two groups, all the way to wipe out the remaining resistance forces in the capital; all the way to chase the imperial guards and march towards the palace.
The ministers of the imperial court knew that the situation was over, some disguised themselves as ordinary people and escaped from the capital, some surrendered to Song Qiang, and some went to the palace to discuss with Li Hai the strategy of continuing to resist.
After Li Hai came down from the north gate, he detained Rong Chang'an in Fengming Palace, while he sat in the Minister's Study to discuss matters with the few remaining officials.
There was an endless stream of scouts who came to report the military situation, almost breaking the threshold of the Shang Study Room.
"Report to the emperor, Yan Li has already started attacking the city!"
Li Hai was shocked, not knowing what to do, and scanned the ministers below with a pair of expectant eyes, "You don't have any plan, can you save the predicament? Yan Li has already begun to attack the city!"
But where do these ministers have any strategy? Those who have a strategy have long been eradicated by Li Hai as if they are different; even if there is a strategy, the current situation is like a terminally ill patient, and it is difficult for Da Luo to cure it.
So the ministers were all silent, and would only shake their heads and sigh.
"What are you sighing for?" Li Hai was furious. He walked up to the ministers, grabbed their collars, and grabbed their arms. Are you wearing an official uniform?"
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Li Hai beat three court ministers in a row, but even if they were beaten to death, they couldn't think of a way.
"Report!" Another scout came down from the front line, "Yan Li's army has broken through the north gate, and now they are divided into two groups, strangling the remaining resistance forces in the capital all the way, and coming all the way to the palace..."
Li Hai's eyes widened, unable to close them for a long time, he took a few steps back, and fell on the marble steps, "The general situation is over! The general situation is over!"
A minister came to help Li Hai and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you change into civilian clothes first, escape the palace with us, and go to the south of the Yangtze River to escape. Wait for the soldiers from all walks of life to gather troops, and then we will come to put down the rebellion against Yan Li." .”
There is no other way to do this, but Li Hai naively believes that the current situation has not yet developed to the point of running for his life.
"Where is my wise concubine? Ziyan! Ziyan!" Li Hai looked around in a daze, but he couldn't see Ziyan.
With trembling hands, Eunuch Liu came over to support Li Hai, "Your Majesty, Concubine Ziyan is in her palace, what do you want to do with her?"
Li Hai held Eunuch Liu's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that Eunuch Liu would abandon him, even though Eunuch Liu was just a weak old man.
"Eunuch Liu, I know that the imperial concubine has many schemes, she must have a way to drive Yan Li back. I can't be the emperor who escaped, I want to stay in the palace, I want to watch Yan Li kneel in front of me, I want Watch the knife hand cut off Yan Li's head!"
Now Li Hai is a little excited, excited because of fear.
"Okay, okay, the old slave will follow the emperor to see the imperial concubine, and see what she can do."
