Empress can't eat enough

Chapter 18

The entire imperial court has been controlled by the second prince Li Xu.Detain the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and use their wives and children to coerce them to put pressure on the saints:
One is that the sage should depose the crown prince and establish a new crown prince; the other is that the sage should hand over the Jade Seal of Chuanguo and retreat to the Supreme Emperor, and pass it on to the new crown prince.

"Half of the officials have already surrendered." Li Chongjian said, "As soon as the time of Xu arrives, people from the British government will set fire to the top of the tower."

They wanted the ministers in the palace to see that the fire was spreading layer by layer, and the longer they hesitated, the closer their wives and children were to death.

Counting the time, it will be Xu time in another quarter of an hour.

"Then, what are the saints waiting for? Are there any reinforcements?" Wei Yingning asked.

"The young master of the Marquis of Pingning is leading his troops from the station to the imperial city. But I wonder if we can wait until then..."

"Even if we arrive, we may not be able to enter the imperial city smoothly."

Wei Yingning thought about it secretly, thinking that if he pinned all his hopes on the saint, it would be bad luck.

She finally made a decision and said to Li Chongjian: "My lord, let's go around the tower and see where there are fewer guards. I can let Ah Man escape, and first untie the ropes on the hands and feet of those people outside."

"In my king's opinion, it's better to wait." Li Chongjian was afraid that if he acted rashly, he would kill his life instead.

"It's better to fight to the death than just sit and wait." Wei Yingning had made up his mind.

After finishing speaking, she pulled Ah Man to her, and told her in a low voice: "When Xu time comes, people from the British government will set fire to the building and burn it from the top. I will tell you where to escape later. If the fire spreads, there will be great chaos here, then you should take the opportunity to untie Mr. Jiang first. Tell him, the enemy is outnumbered, and the thief should be the first to capture the king."

"I escaped, you lady..." Ah Man was willing to do anything, but he was worried about leaving Wei Yingning alone.No matter what, she should stay by the master's side.

"As long as you can succeed outside, I will wait for the opportunity." Wei Yingning's eyes were firm.

Ah Man nodded solemnly.

At this time, Li Chongjian also came back.He told Wei Yingning that there is a small window at the back of the tower and he might try it.But there are two guards at that small window.In addition, there will be patrol teams passing by from time to time.Therefore, Ah Man must move quickly without leaving traces.

After Wei Yingning told Ah Man about the situation, he shook her hand and said, "Be careful."

"Don't worry, lady!"

Ah Man left quickly, and Wei Yingning just returned to the side of the mistress Liu.

Wei Qingluo and Liu Shi supported each other, their eyes were red, and they cried because of fear.

"Sister, where did you go just now? Mother was worried for a while when she didn't see you!" Wei Qingluo was anxious and angry when he saw Wei Yingning.

But in her words, there was no usual resentment and teasing, and it sounded like she was just anxious and angry.

At the moment of life and death, a family is still a family.

Wei Yingning leaned over and comforted: "Mother and sister, don't be afraid, we will be fine."

Liu Shi looked at her, and the eyes that were filled with tears because of fear flashed a light of surprise for a moment.

Her stepdaughter had always been estranged from her, wouldn't it surprise her to say such comforting words to her at this time?She even moved.

Seeing Wei Yingning's neither panic nor confusion, she felt that her comforting words seemed to have some magical power, which really calmed her panicked heart a lot.

"Where's that girl Ah Man?" She suddenly realized that Ah Man was gone.

Wei Yingning only nodded at her, signaling her to keep quiet.

She opened her mouth, and her heart beat like a drum.Thinking of Ah Man's good fist and kick skills, she must have escaped to rescue soldiers. She had hope in her heart, but she was worried that her hope would be shattered.

At Xushi, among the bound brothers outside, someone shouted that the top of the tower was on fire, which caused a lot of commotion inside.It's just that before the fire reached his eyebrows, he was reprimanded by the people of the British government, and then he calmed down again.

The burnt wood fell with the flames and fell around the tower. Every time at this time, someone inside would scream or cry out of fear, and then they would cry.

Someone went upstairs to check and reported which floor the fire had reached. As the fire spread, there were more and more cries and begging for mercy.

They are going to give birth!They want to break through the doors and windows and rush out.

At that time, Wei Yingning had quietly taken the Wei family and the Jiang family of Shangshufu back to the back.

Outside, Jiang Chiyi and his brothers had already cut the rope with the flower pot fragments Ah Man threw at them and broke free from the shackles.

Taking advantage of the furious crowd inside the tower to rush out, many guards could not go forward to drive them away, so they finally took the opportunity to fight with the people of the British government.

When Ah Man stepped forward to help, he told Jiang Chiyi: "My wife said, outnumbered, the king is the first to capture the thief!"

After all, she didn't do much fighting here, but went straight to the back of the tower to meet Wei Yingning and others.

The front door was already wide open, some people were injured and some people died, but it couldn't stop the people inside from escaping.

Before Jiang Chiyi saw his mother and sisters coming out, his eyes fell on the British princess.

"Brother Jingze, I leave this place to you!" He greeted Song Jingze, the young Marquis of Suiyuan, and jumped out of the fighting arena, heading towards the direction of the Duke and Duchess of England.

Seeing this, the eldest son of the British concubine wanted to follow, but was stopped by Song Jingze, the young prince of the Marquis of Suiyuan.

Song Jingze's mother died under the sword of the eldest son.He was already red-eyed, but now facing his enemy, he must kill him to avenge his mother.

There was no one guarding the small window at the back of the tower at this time, and with the help of a few servants, the Wei family and the Jiang family climbed out unscathed.

Followed by several other family members.Because of the loud noise, it was finally discovered by a group of people.

There are those who are loyal to protect the master, and there are those who run faster than the master.Fortunately, at this time, the servants of the Wei and Jiang families were all loyal, standing behind and only telling the masters to leave quickly.

However, it was difficult to fight against the guards with swords with bare hands, and they were killed or wounded in a short time, and the team quickly caught up.

"My lady, I'm coming!"

Aman is here!Holding the broadsword she had snatched from the enemy, she leaped into the air, extremely heroic.

She slashed and killed all the way, protecting everyone all the way to the pier.

In front of the tower, Jiang Chiyi had already put the knife on the neck of the British princess.And the eldest son of the concubine has also become the soul of Song Jingze who died under the sword.

Even so, it is not enough to relieve one's anger.After Jiang Chiyi took the British princess hostage, he cut off the head of the eldest son with a single knife, and walked straight towards the British princess.

The Duke and Duchess of England obviously widened their eyes in fright, but she shouted at Song Jingze under Jiang Chiyi's knife: "It's just futile! It's too late! This world is already the world of my Yang family! You guys If you kill me today, tomorrow my Yang family will kill you and other nine clans!"

Seeing her barking like this, Song Jingze threw the head in his hand, and hurried over to take her life.

"Brother Jingze, stop!" Jiang Chiyi hurriedly called to stop him, "The most urgent thing is to protect everyone from this place! Just save her life."
