Step on a branch

Chapter 413

The stalemate at West Palace Gate lasted longer than at South Palace Gate.

On the other side, shortly after Lin Fan and Qin Yin arrived with their troops, Liu Tuan made up his mind and opened the palace gate to surrender.

On the side of the West Palace Gate, Qin Luan followed Princess Pingyang and was in a stalemate with the defenders.

The guard Lei Yong refused to follow.

Princess Pingyang looked at Lei Yong on the tower with cold eyes.

They are all soldiers of the Great Zhou, she does not want to kill, but Lei Yong does not enter, it does not make sense at all.

The soldiers below were all afraid of Lei Yong, and no one dared to stand up.

The eldest princess shook her head, gave up the idea of ​​a "peaceful" solution, and said to Mrs. Yongninghou: "Let's do it, I don't have time to spend with him."

Mrs. Yongninghou naturally agreed, and told Qin Luan and Qin Yuan: "Swords don't have eyes, so be careful."

Qin Luan nodded.

Qin Yuan raised her eyebrows: "Don't worry."

She is young, and she mainly practiced on weekdays. The opportunity for real swords and guns was to follow to surround the granary.

At that time, it was just siege, which was very different from fighting on the battlefield.

However, Qin Yuan also knew very well.

She is confident, but not arrogant.

At her age, the eldest princess is already able to take charge of herself, and many of the guards who fought in the troubled times are also at this age.

They can all do it, Qin Yuan thought, so can she.

Since she was a child, she practiced diligently and seriously, and never shirked.

Grandpa once said that anything can betray you, but hard work and sweat will not.

Qin Yuan remembered it very well.

Princess Pingyang drew her sword and swung it heavily, causing the soldiers to press forward in an instant.

The nimble soldiers rushed under the long palace wall, threw their flying claws, hooked on the wall, pulled the rope with both hands, quickly climbed up the high wall, and jumped off.

Qin Yuan is also very powerful, without saying a word, she flew up while hooking the rope, and when she jumped down, she punched the guard in the face with her fist.

Princess Pingyang saw Qin Yuan's quick movement up the wall, and smiled with Mrs. Yongning Hou: "Young girl is really nice."

Mrs. Yongninghou said: "Don't praise her face to face from now on, you can put her tail on end!"

That being said, the old lady applauded Qin Yuan in her heart.

Ah Yuan has indeed practiced some tricks.

Don't lose to her back then.

Well, it's different now.

Even if she grasped the long knife again, the old man is still good at facing the enemy head-on, but she can't do the work of climbing over the wall.

Legs and feet are old after all.

You have to wait for the people who turn in and open the door for them.

Soon, there was a clear difference between the top and bottom of the battle inside.

The army attacked the imperial city with great momentum.

The defenders inside were panicked, because Lei Yong was "forced" to hold on, and retreated steadily for a while.

On the city tower, Lei Yong saw this and hurried down with his weapon in hand to command.

Along the steps, down to the corner, suddenly, a cold light flashed, and a long sword was on his neck.

Lei Yong was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to hide, but the other party didn't give him a chance.

The man was right behind him, easily restrained his hands, and put the sword across his neck.

"Commander Lei," the man said, "Are you going to let the soldiers under you die for the sake of one person's spirit?"

Lei Yong gritted his teeth.

He didn't see the other person's appearance, he could only see the color of the other person's clothes and shoes.

This is a royal guard.

"You..." Lei Yong said, "The imperial guards actually help the rebels?"

The man snorted: "It's not your turn, it's not your turn to scream."

Lei Yong was coerced to walk down the steps.

Seeing that he was captured, the retreating defense became more unwilling to fight, and some even threw down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender.

Seeing this, Lei Yong opened his mouth to scold, but he had to bow his head.

However, he remembered the voice of the man behind him.

"Huang Shiwei?" He said, "You are Huang Yi, Grand Master Huang's grandson? Are you worthy of Grand Master by doing this?"

Huang Yihe laughed.

Not to mention that what he did was in line with his grandfather's wishes. Compared with doing crooked ways and slanting swords, his insignificance in front of his grandfather is nothing to mention.

At this time, Qin Luan also entered the palace gate.

Seeing that it was Huang Yi, she couldn't help being surprised.

Huang Yi escorted Lei Yong to the eldest princess, and said: "Liu Tuan has surrendered, I think they entered the palace gate first."

As for Huang Yi, he also came in through the Nangong Gate.

Grandfather got up early to go to court, and Huang Yi didn't take a nap, thinking about how to do something under Uncle Zhongqin's nose, so as to let the army enter the city as soon as possible.

Before the idea was fully thought out, the army had already broken through the city defenses.

As soon as Huang Yi heard the news, without saying a word, he put on his official uniform of an imperial guard and rushed to the gate of Nangong.

When he arrived, Lin Fan had just brought someone into the palace.

The soldiers who stayed at the gate of Nangong were all old faces that Huang Yi recognized outside the pass.

In a few words, the two parties explained the matter clearly.

There is no need for Huang Yi under the Nangong Gate, and he can rush to the West Palace Gate with this outfit to help the eldest princess and the others.

Huang Yi ran away, came all the way, and arrived smoothly.

Seeing the soldiers outside the palace attacking over the wall, Huang Yi went directly to the tower to capture the king first.

As a "front guard", he was unobtrusive among the guards, took advantage of the chaos to approach Lei Yong, and won with one move.

Princess Pingyang was relieved when she heard about the latest situation at Lin Fan's place.

"They are one step ahead," she told the soldiers loudly, "we have to hurry up."

Amidst all the shouts, the eldest princess led most of the people to the Compassion Palace.

Huang Yi was in charge of keeping an eye on Lei Yong, and controlled the Nangong Gate with the remaining soldiers.

Qin Yuan came over with a thick rope.

Huang Yi took it and tied Lei Yong tightly.

Seeing his fluent movements, Qin Luan couldn't help being amused: "Don't you have a full beard and a full tail?"

Hearing these words suddenly, Huang Yi was a little puzzled for a while, but after thinking about it again, he remembered it.

That was when the army gathered in the outskirts of the city and was about to march towards Feimenguan. Outside the military tent, he met Qin Yuan who had come to see Qin Shizi off, and said a few words.

He asked, since there is a see-off, will there be a welcome when the army returns triumphantly?

Qin Yuan's answer was not only to welcome, but also to Shili Pavilion.

Huang Yi heard it was interesting, and joked, "If I am carried back, I don't know if my family will meet me at Shiliting."

But Qin Yuan said, "Can't you ride back by yourself?"

Such a simple conversation inspired Huang Yi who stepped into the barracks for the first time.

"I rode back to Beijing by myself, but no one came to greet me," Huang Yi laughed, "My family didn't dare to go out of the city to greet me. You didn't notice. The emperor's face that day was darker than charcoal."

Why didn't they dare to welcome them, and why their faces were as charcoal? Naturally, some people stayed in Qiyang, and only Marquis Anbei and General Feng led the troops back to Beijing.

Imagining the situation at that time, Qin Yuan clapped her hands and laughed.

Interesting, unfortunately, I didn't get to see it with my own eyes.

What a loss!

　Tomorrow is about to fight, I am excited to rub my hands~~~
　　See you tomorrow~
