Chapter 164 It's All About the Strategy

Bai Luchu took the token and gave some orders to the imperial guards near the Yining Palace, while she went to Ninghua Hall surrounded by the imperial guards.

The Pigeon House is located on the Zhanyun Building behind the Ninghua Hall. After the second round of the match, Bai Luchu did not appear again, and the connection between the palace and the outside was once again interrupted.

At this moment, Bai Luchu extinguished all the lights in Ninghua Palace, Kunyi Palace, Yuzhao Palace, Yong'an Palace, and Shouchang Palace, rounded up and locked up the remaining internal prisons in Ninghua Palace, and released several groups of carrier pigeons around.

The last group of pigeons will fly out of the city, and she is eager to get news from Cheng Yingzhou.

Bai Lu first boarded the Zhanyun Tower behind the Ninghua Palace, and the second round of killings began. This time it was the real "I would rather kill by mistake than let it go".

More eunuchs fell in a pool of blood, and the rest were locked up in the Yong'an Palace where Concubine Hui Fang lived, and all the windows were nailed to death.

Bai Luchu ordered that there would be no signal from the queen, and the imperial guards around would not be able to show up no matter what. She was making a big gamble. If she got it wrong and something happened to Siqing, she would be wiped out.

He An went mad with anger when he heard that the southeast corner sluice was sealed again by the imperial army, but he soon realized that he had made such a big commotion, but the imperial army protecting Siqing and Prince Duan was always only the one in front of him.Later, nearly a hundred people came one after another, and surrounded He'an again. After that, no forbidden troops came.

According to the defense situation around Yining Palace obtained by He'an when he held Fang Huipin just now, he concluded that the forbidden army in the palace city is limited at this moment, and the palace gate needs to be opened for reinforcements. Ouchi.

He narrowed his eyes, "Empress, do you only have such a small staff? Why, Mrs. Jia Guo is not in Beijing, you feel like you have lost your arms."

Siqing whispered to Duan Wang Shizi: "Old Eleven, we can only count on these nearly a thousand people. The situation of the Fujunwei and Yulinweiwei is unknown, and it is hard to say about the soldiers and horses of the five cities."

Duan Wang Shizi gritted his teeth, "I have to take a gamble, if not, I will kill you, Your Highness the Queen."

Siqing nodded, she was racking her brains to delay the time, she guessed that Bai Luchu must be trying to contact the guards in the city, and now the Yining Palace where Princess Duan is staying is not safe enough, she needs to continue to retreat north.

After Bai Luchu received the first signal from Jigu Pavilion, he went down to Zhanyun Tower, panting and said a few words to Fan Ziran, Fan Ziran nodded repeatedly.

Although Bai Luchu worked in the military guard of the government, under the current situation, Fan Ziran, the Chief Assistant, spoke much more than her.

Bai Luchu accompanied Princess Duan and the newly found Prince Kang to the Ninghua Palace. Fan Ziran took a deep breath after giving orders to the imperial guards, and flung his sleeves to the Duanqing Gate.

Lu Chu was wearing a gown of light gold dark floral gauze and a skirt with fragrant crepe, and the gown was covered with soot at the moment.She shivered quickly when no one came out, walked into the inner hall, and saw that Prince Kang's son had a reaction under the doctor's treatment and coughed loudly.Lu Chu went up to take a look, but was caught by the hem of the clothes by Prince Kang's son Xiao Shao.

Lu Chu was taken aback for a moment, Prince Kang tried his best to say something, so Lu Chu had to lower his head to listen.

Fan Ziran came near the Qingduan Gate and pushed aside the outermost guards and said in a loud voice: "My minister, Fan Ziran, came too late to save you, please come down from the Queen's Palace!"

The confrontation between Si Qing and He An has reached its limit, Si Qing thought that you came late enough, he hasn't spoken yet, He An obviously realized something, "Where are Prince Kang's son and Princess Duan?"

Fan Ziran said concisely, "Dead."

Duan Wang's son was shocked, and Siqing persuaded in a low voice: "He must be talking nonsense. They want to open the Chengtian Gate, and they need to make sure that everyone approaches the Chengtian Gate with them. Otherwise, when the Chengtian Gate opens, our people will run from the back. Wouldn’t it be boring for them to open the Chengtian Gate in order to call for reinforcements?”

He An really didn't believe it, "Why did he die?"

Fan Ziran replied: "Kang Wang's son was injured by a beam, and he died of his injuries just now. Princess Duan was knocked down by your poisonous miasma. Although she didn't die, she is almost there."

He spoke so seriously that Prince Duan's son was in a turmoil.He An finally believed a little, and Fan Ziran said again: "Want to see the corpse? Bring it up for you to see?"

Siqing interrupted, "We will die if we open the Chengtian Gate, and you will die if you release the poisonous miasma. Why don't you release the poisonous miasma, and everyone will die together!"

He An was furious, "Fart! Where's the crown prince? Where's the imperial concubine Ding'an of Yining Palace?"

Fan Ziran was the first to say: "You killed someone, and you still want to beat him up?!"

He'an was stunned for a moment, he really didn't ask the crown prince clearly and nothing happened. At this time, Siqing said: "We can open the Chengtian Gate, and even give you a ticket to let you go out of Beijing, leaving you a way out. But you You must promise to release Fang Huibin and He Meiren, and hand over all the poisonous miasma pills."

He'an was overjoyed, thinking that once you open the city gate, it doesn't matter if we run out or in?No, the gates of the city are closed, the queen doesn't know that the Jinwu Guard is occupied by us, and she still counts on the Jinwu Guard to rescue her?His spirit was lifted, "Empress Empress, you can keep your promise."

Siqing said: "Stop talking nonsense, you have two chips, you must hand over one first. Hand over the poisonous smoke pill!"

Although this poisonous miasma is easy to use, the person who releases the miasma will be poisoned if he can't run too fast. He An doesn't want to use it at all, he doesn't want to die.So he motioned to the people around him to take out the smoke pills and get out on the ground.The surrounding guards carefully put away.

At this time, the guards around suddenly popped out their bows and arrows and jumped onto the wall, with flames still on the bows and arrows.

Si Qing knew at a glance that it was Bai Luchu's handwriting.He An said angrily, "What are you doing?!"

Siqing said: "I'm afraid you didn't pay it clean, there are still firecrackers in the flames, if you don't pay it clean, it's better for everyone to die here together."

He and An Jian held the bow of the Forbidden Army, as if they were about to shoot.He knew that in the event of an explosion, all the smoke pellets would detonate, and everyone would die, so he had to order the dead soldiers to take off their cloaks one by one to prove it.

Siqing turned around and walked into the inner room, Prince Duan dragged Tang Peng out from under the couch, wanting to see if he was dead.Tang Peng was still breathing, but still unconscious, so Prince Duan stuffed him back again.Siqing sighed, walked out of the inner room, looked around and said, "Let's go."

Siqing and Duan Wangshizi are in the center, the second circle is He'an, who is holding Fang Huipin and He Meiren hostage, and some rebel inner eunuchs and Dingfan dead men, and the third circle is many forbidden soldiers.Everyone was about to move, and He An proposed to go up to the four walls to have a look, Si Qing, Prince Duan and Fan Ziran were all startled at the same time.

He An was afraid of bows and arrows from high places, and shot him through before he was shot.Siqing nodded in agreement, so a dead soldier of Dingfan jumped to a high place, only to see that the palaces in the north were pitch black, and there were no more forbidden soldiers and crossbowmen around.

He jumped down and nodded to He'an, and everyone moved slowly, leaving the Qingduan Gate, the surrounding area was very empty, beyond the reach of bows and arrows.Arrived near Chengtian Gate, the empty square inside Chengtian Gate.

In the past, there were no flowers or trees in the square to prevent assassins.With a bright moon in the sky, Siqing felt the coolness of autumn.She was wearing a cinnamon-colored robe, covering light and soft dark brown half arms, her wet hair was blown by the cold wind, and she shivered for no reason.

He An and the others stood on the square in the center of Chengtianmen, refusing to take another step.Siqing asked: "Why, why don't you leave and surrender?"

He An looked around vigilantly.

Siqing understands that at this moment He An is afraid that there are still crossbowmen on the nearby high points, but now in the middle of the square, even if the crossbowmen use the hardest bows, they cannot hurt him.

He also asked to send people to investigate the surrounding city walls, which meant that the plan had changed again. If He'an's people kept monitoring the movement, the forbidden troops hidden nearby would not be able to approach.In other words, once the face is torn apart, it will take time for the forbidden army to approach Chengtianmen. Siqing, Duan Wangshizi, Fang Huipin and He Meiren, who are surrounded by He'an and Dingfan's dead soldiers in the center, will be very dangerous.

Fan Ziran's complexion was extremely ugly. He looked in the direction of Siqing, but was blocked by layers of armor, and could not see Siqing's figure.

A bit of cinnamon-colored soft silk can be seen between the layers of armor, and the sword is hidden in the soft silk sleeve. Siqing quickly judged the situation around him. It is very difficult for Duan Wangshizi to kill more than 20 Dingfan dead men, let alone rescue Fang Huibin and He Meiren.

Prince Duan's son also knew that Fang Huipin and Meiren He could not be saved, and now he had no choice but to kill him.

Yuan Lingbo walked through the tunnel of Jigu Pavilion in the dark for a while, and soon found a door and got out.Originally, her mission was to protect the East Palace and Yining Palace and their party, but the pigeons flying from the dovecote forced her to leave Jigu Pavilion to perform more important tasks.

Yuan Lingbo came out of the dilapidated small courtyard, where there were horses, she took one and galloped the horse.

There was chaos in the city tonight, and martial law was enforced everywhere. Her mount ran rampant, and soon attracted soldiers from Wucheng Bingmasi. , and then galloped to the streets in front of King Kang's Mansion.

She dismounted, tied the horse to a willow tree, and approached Kang Wang's mansion in the dark.

It's a pity that there was too much movement after King Kang and his son entered the city tonight. The entire palace was brightly lit and the guards were dispatched. Yuan Lingbo couldn't help sighing, thinking of Jiang Feng who was far away in Jinling, his capital.

During the confrontation between Siqing and He'an, the rebels who conquered Jinwuwei have already begun to attack Miyagi.They began to look around for the drag ladder, and quickly dragged out the ladder of the nearby water dragon team.

Just when Siqing decided to take a reckless gamble, two figures appeared under Majesty Dan at the north end of Chengtianmen's inner square, and Yuan Lingbo moved forward quickly, as if dragging a dead dog with his hands.

Fan Ziran recognized that Yuan Lingbo was dragging a clan, and had already fainted.

The clan's body was heavy, and Yuan Lingbo was out of breath.Soon the imperial guards stepped forward to help, Yuan Lingpolang said: "Drag this dead dog in through the Duanmen, it's really not easy." She beat the clan several times, and the clan woke up faintly, it Xiao Xu, the eldest son of the late King Kang.

King Kang's second sons were both born to the concubine Yuan, but the eldest son Xiao Xu was not the eldest son. Siqing understood that she tried to use the trick of brothers to fight the wall between the two sons of Dingfan, but unexpectedly the other party used the same trick to plant a nail.

Han Shoushen, the eldest son of Dingfan, was the eldest son of a concubine, and he was still unconvinced. Xiao Xu, the eldest son of King Kang, was the eldest son, and of course he was even more unconvinced when he was abolished.

Si Qing never imagined that it was not Ning Shouhou who stirred up the situation in the capital, but this quiet side branch of the clan.
