The west palace gate was closed again from the inside, but the captain of the guard guarding here frowned slightly suspiciously.
"Here comes the military situation and the noon gate is closed? Why does it sound so strange?"
The captain of the guard muttered to himself for a while, and then said, "Do any of you know those people just now?"
With such a question, everyone around shook their heads.
Everyone is on duty in the palace. Although they belong to different battalions and have different commanders, as long as they have been on duty in the palace for a long time, they can still meet each other. Just now there were twenty or so people, and even one person Unrecognized cases are still very rare.
The captain of the guard beckoned, "You, you go to the front of the Chongzheng Hall and see if there is any trouble. If there is any trouble, it's fine. If there is no trouble, immediately inform Yuan Gonggong about the princess leaving the palace. One sound."
If the guards at the palace gate made a mistake, it would be a heavy responsibility, and the captain of the guard dared not be careless.
The soldiers assigned by the imperial guards didn't dare to be careless, so they went forward immediately. The gate of the west palace was a little remote. Before the soldier reached the direction of the Chongzheng Hall, he saw many imperial guards returning to the palace. The soldier found a He approached him with a familiar face and asked, and the man said solemnly, "I was originally on business in the east of the city, but suddenly he said that we would be sent back to the palace. Something big happened."
The soldier felt relieved when he heard it, it seemed that what Princess Yongci said was true, but he still asked, "Do you know what happened?"
"It seems that some soldiers from the northern garrison came to report the military situation with golden feather arrows. They seem to be from the direction of Yingzhou."
This person doesn't know the details, so he can't explain clearly, but his words are in line with what Bai Feng said when he left the palace. Why did you come here? It’s very chaotic tonight, be careful if something goes wrong, the Noonday Gate is already in chaos.”
"Does the Noonday Gate only allow entry but no exit?"
The person who was asked nodded, "When we returned to the palace just now, there was a long queue at the gate, all of them were generals waiting to be summoned by His Majesty. Hey, it seems that there is really chaos. The empress and the prince are nowhere to be seen. I'm afraid they've joined up with the rebels..."
It is already an unspoken secret for the empress and the crown prince to leave the palace. These imperial guards have been searching for people for days, and they know it all the more clearly. After saying this, the faces of the two are worried, and the soldiers of the imperial guards who were asked He said, "But you and I don't have to worry, we are all people in the palace, unless the rebels hit the gate of the palace, there is no need for us to go into battle to kill the enemy..."
The guard at the West Palace Gate was shocked when he heard this, and when he saw a general coming, he left in a hurry. After hearing this person's words, he firmly believed in his heart that what Bai Feng said was true, but since the captain of the guard asked him to go to Chongzheng Hall Look, the guard still walked a few steps towards the Chongzheng Hall, but before he got too close, a young eunuch from the Chongzheng Hall saw him and immediately stopped him, "Where are you from?" Forbidden Army, why are you here?"
The guard at the West Palace Gate was startled, "I'm here..."
Seeing that the guard was just looking around but didn't understand, and there was no rush on his face, the little eunuch's expression changed immediately, "I don't have to come here today! Hurry up and go back to your position as a good student! Now there are only two amiable commanders Lin. See Your Majesty!"
"Then Eunuch Yuan..."
"Director Yuan doesn't have time to see you either! Hurry up! Your Majesty has something important to do right now! Don't you see that we are all so far away?!"
The little eunuch looked impatient, but the guards at the West Palace Gate didn't dare to talk back to him.
These little eunuchs are not high-ranking and physically disabled, but they are on duty right under His Majesty's nose, and their status is always much higher. From what I heard, the captain of the guard just dropped his heart.
On the galloping carriage, Fu Ling's heart was still hanging high.
"Woooooo what's the matter, tonight is the wedding day of the princess and the prince, how can the emperor... the slave girl thought that the young lady would have a good life when she married the prince, but... where are we going?" ...Miss must not leave the servants behind, and the servants will follow the miss even after death."
Fuling's heart was full of panic and fear. Yan Chi and Qin Wan were fleeing like fleeing, but it was a thousand times more dangerous than fleeing. Fuling is a little girl. How could she have experienced such a thing? "How could I leave you, it's just that we have to go a long way and suffer a lot along the way."
Fu Ling hugged Qin Wan's arm and refused to let it go, "My servant is not afraid of suffering, but my servant is afraid that Miss will leave me."
When Fu Ling came out of the palace, it was clear that Yan Chi in the whole palace didn't intend to take it, let alone a little servant like her. When fleeing from the plague, which family didn't throw away all the servants and sent them away? Qin Wan is naturally not the kind of person who doesn't care about slaves, but Qin Wan is very likely to settle her in a safe place, which is the last thing she wants, "Slaves are willing to do anything for the princess, let alone follow her." Miss escaped."
Qin Wan laughed for a moment. Right now, they were really fleeing.
Thinking in this way, Qin Wan could not help but lift the curtain of the car to look, only to see Yan Chi at the front of the line, sitting on the horseback with a straight figure, wide shoulders and straight back, looking at it is reassuring, Qin Wan put Curtain, the warmth returned to the limbs little by little.
There was quite a bit of chaos in the imperial city late at night. The first wave of orders to dispatch the garrison had been sent out. The guards in the patrol battalion received the news first, and the rest of the soldiers were called up. The people were extremely frightened and frightened, and there were more than a thousand guards who left the palace. These people were scattered all over the imperial city. It would take time to gather them all back to the palace. The official carriage is driving...
There was still more than an hour before dawn, but the entire capital city had already woken up early.
Yan Chi took everyone along the path to the south of the city. The closer they got to the south of the city, the quieter it was. The south of the city was the first place to receive the news. From the moment the guard with the golden feathered arrow entered the city, everyone's hearts were filled with excitement. Hanging up, and after receiving the first imperial order, half of the troops returned to the main battalion of the patrol camp in the southwest of the city. Loosen from the inside.
When Yan Chi arrived at the south of the city, the entire south of the city was quiet. Dozens of people dressed in patrol uniforms stood under the city gate. When they saw Yan Chi, their expressions immediately changed, and one of them stepped forward to face Yan Chi. After a salute, she turned around and ordered the rest of the people to open the city gate. Qin Wan thought that there must be a fierce battle at the city gate, but she didn't expect that although the carriage stopped, it was quiet outside. I took a look outside, only to see the exceptional silence above and below the city tower.
The south of the city is the main gate in the outer city of Lin'an, no matter whether it is the royal family or ordinary people, they all enter and exit through this gate, but now, the entire south gate in the south of the city is obviously under Yan Chi's control, and this control may be short-lived , but this city gate is the gate of the imperial capital! To be controlled by others like this!
Qin Wan didn't know how serious the military situation was, but seeing such a city defense, Qin Wan couldn't help thinking, if the Beifu army really hit the gate of the capital, how would the city's garrison guard Lin'an? These garrison troops composed of children from aristocratic families and low-level poor families have never been on the battlefield. Even though they wear military uniforms and armored swordsmen, they still look too immature and reckless for those who have actually been on the battlefield...
The city gate opened easily and lightly, and soon, Yan Chi rode his horse and headed towards the city gate.
The carriage rumbled, and amidst the sound of the wind and snow, Qin Wan subconsciously glanced back. There was only a vague shadow left in Lin'an City in the night. Thinking of the year when he returned to Beijing, Qin Wan couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion. Sadly, the Shen family wanted to escape here, but they were strangled outside the imperial city. Now, what kind of future will she and Yan Chi lead to when they leave
The carriage walked out slowly from the city gate. The wind and snow outside the city seemed to be smaller than that inside the city. Qin Wan felt relieved. Looking to the south, in the night, there were thousands of people on the snow field outside the city. The black-clothed knight was waiting there. Seeing Yan Chi leading people out of the city, everyone rolled over and got off their quilts. The leader, a middle-aged man, stepped forward first.
"Meet Your Highness! Your Highness has left the city safely!"
Yan Chi sat high on the horse's back, threw off the guard's headgear and threw it on the ground, then tore off his military uniform, "The situation has changed, General Mu has worked hard!"
The man on the ground hurriedly said, "The General has been waiting for this day for a long time! From now on, the General will swear to follow His Highness to the death!"
Yan Chi nodded, glanced at the thousands of black knights above the snowy night, and said, "You are all the old servants of King Father, Prince Rui's Palace will not let you down!"
After a few clangs, all the black armored knights knelt down.
"Follow Your Highness to the death! Follow Your Highness to the death!"
The roar of mountains and tsunami was so shocking that it suppressed the sound of wind and snow. Yan Chi waved his hand, "Time is running out, we must arrive at Yunling tonight, let's go!"
Everyone stood up and got on their horses. General Mu was directing the soldiers to go south when suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes in the city gate behind Yan Chi. Come.
Someone called out, "Wait a minute, Brother Seven—"
