Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 587: Entering the Palace to Meet the Emperor
Yelu Yanxiu looked at Zhao Mu and said, "Haha, it's the same for you. Your Highness Prince Qi is also very cruel! But Your Highness Prince Qi seems to have forgotten one thing."

Zhao Mu asked, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Yelu Yanxiu said: "This is in the Imperial Palace. Although Your Highness Prince Qi is strong, there are only three of you. There are thousands of imperial guards in this imperial city."

At this time, a male voice said: "Forget it, I have sent the Imperial Guards away, and now they will not obey the orders of this fake emperor."

Hearing the voice, the four looked towards the door, only to see the commander of the imperial guards slowly walking in with a sword slung over his waist.

Zhao Ji looked at the commander of the imperial guards and said, "Commander Li! I didn't expect that even you would betray me!"

At this time, the "Commander of the Imperial Guards" let out a female laugh. Looking at the stubbled face, the sturdy and strong body in armor, coupled with the shrill laughter of this woman, it was really creepy.

At this time, the commander of the imperial guards said: "Your commander of the imperial guards did not betray you. But I am not your commander of the imperial guards." Ah Zhu took off her helmet and unveiled her disguise mask. Then she removed the armor and the fillers that enlarged her body one by one.

At this moment, there was no burly commander of the imperial guards, only a beautiful girl standing there.

"This! How is this possible? How did you..." Yelu Yanxiu didn't expect such a thing to happen and was a little at a loss for a moment.

Looking at Yelu Yanxiu who was at a loss, Zhao Mu also breathed a sigh of relief. Now Zhao Mu was really glad that he came back early. If he was two days later, even if this Bianjing city was not in vain, he would probably lose a lot of things.

Zhao Mu had arrived in Bianjing City as early as yesterday. After entrusting his troops to his trusted generals, he personally sneaked into the city to gather information.

His first stop after sneaking into the city was the Zhongxiao Palace, where he successfully met up with Ah Zhu. Later, with Ah Zhu's help, he found Li Qiushui, Xue Muhua, and Su Xinghe who had also sneaked into the city.

Last night, Zhao Mu secretly investigated the city. After he had a rough understanding of the situation, he planned to coordinate internal and external forces.

He killed the commander of the imperial guards, Li Xin, and then let Azhu impersonate him to control the imperial guards. At this time, King Zhongxiao had already begun to take over the defense of Bianliang City, as well as the 80,000 imperial guards outside the city.

Although the tiger talisman was in Gao Qiu's hands, Prince Zhongxiao's post as Privy Councilor was not abolished. During this period, Prince Consort Wang was only acting for Prince Zhongxiao because he had "taken leave due to illness."

Compared to the tiger talisman, the faces of King Zhongxiao and General Yang were more useful. After all, many of the imperial guards in the capital were their students and former officials, or even their relatives.

Zhao Mu brought Li Qiushui and Su Xinghe to the palace to see his Majesty first.

Zhao Mu also made an agreement with King Zhongxiao that they would meet in the palace again after the matter was accomplished.

As for why Xue Muhua didn't come along, it was because he only inherited Su Xinghe's wonderful medical skills, but not his martial arts. His Qinggong was very poor, so he had to come in through the main entrance.

Although Ah Zhu took over the imperial guards, it was okay for them to come in through the main gate.

But everyone in the Imperial Guards knew Zhao Mu's face.

He was too lazy to disguise himself, so the three of them used the Xiaoyao Sect's wonderful Qinggong to sneak in. However, Xue Muhua's Qinggong was very poor, so he was not brought along.

Zhao Mu, along with his senior brother and his mistress, were passing by the dome of the main hall when they happened to overhear Yelu Yanxiu's evil plot and the conversation between the bastard Zhao Ji and her.

At this time, Yelu Yanxiu took out a dagger from his hand and stabbed himself in the chest and abdomen.

Zhao Mu saw this and used his Lingbo Weibu to get in front of her. Then he stretched out two fingers and clamped her dagger. Zhao Mu sneered and said, "Princess, why are you doing this?"

Yelu Yanxiu also sneered and said: "Haha, now my plan has been exposed, not only did my Great Liao army fail, but I also failed at the edge of my mission. What's the point of me living now? I don't have the face to go back to the Great Liao anymore, I might as well just die!"

Zhao Mu then forcibly took away her dagger, and said, "If you want to die, there's no need to rush." ​​Zhao Mu was afraid that she would bite her tongue to commit suicide, so he simply poked her body with a finger. Zhao Mu used the Six Meridians Divine Sword to press on her acupoints, and Yelu Yanxiu rolled her eyes and fell down.

Zhao Mu then said to Ah Zhu, "Master's Wife, Ah Zhu, these three rebels are now in your care. Make sure they don't commit suicide. I will go to see His Majesty with my elder brother."

Li Qiushui and Ah Zhu nodded. Then Zhao Mu and Su Xinghe did not delay any longer and headed towards the harem where Zhezong lived.

Now that the imperial guards had been sent away and Zhao Ji and others had been captured by Li Qiu Shui, Zhao Mu and Su Xinghe didn't have to be shy about anything and went straight to the harem.

The palace maids and eunuchs along the way were frightened and fled in all directions when they saw Zhao Mu rushing in and acting aggressively. They thought Zhao Mu had already broken in, so in order to save their lives, they could only hide in panic.

Zhao Mu saw their reaction, but he did not stop them. He was now eager to see Zhezong and diagnose him. Let these boring people go.

A moment later, Zhao Mu took Su Xinghe through several corridors and came directly to the outside of Concubine Liu's bedroom.

This is now the residence of Emperor Zhezong. Originally, Emperor Zhezong was recuperating in the palace of Queen Meng, but after Zhao Ji ascended the throne, his concubines also needed positions, so Emperor Zhezong was transferred to the palace of Concubine Liu.

Queen Meng was feeding Zhezong medicine when a palace maid rushed in in a panic.

Concubine Liu, who was sitting nearby, saw this and cursed: "You little slave! How can you be so unruly!"

The maid stammered, "My Lady! Something terrible has happened!"

While Queen Meng was feeding Zhezong medicine, she asked, "What's wrong? What's the big deal?"

The maid replied, "Prince Qi! Prince Qi has stormed into the palace. He is rushing over here, and it seems he is here to assassinate the Emperor!"

"Ah?!" After hearing the palace maid's report, Queen Meng was so frightened that she became weak in the arms and legs, and immediately smashed the medicine bowl in her hand.

Concubine Liu also said at this time: "Sister! What should I do?"

Seeing the panicked look on their faces, Zhezong coughed and said, "Why are you panicking? The one who came into the palace is the emperor's uncle, not a Khitan barbarian. What are you afraid of?"

Concubine Liu said at this time: "It is precisely because he is here that we are so scared."

At this time, Zhao Mu's voice came slowly: "What are you talking about, Madam? Why are you afraid of me? When have I ever offended you?"

Hearing Zhao Mu's voice, everyone turned around and looked, and the palace maids screamed in fright.

Seeing Zhao Mu, Queen Meng calmed herself down. Then she slowly got up from the bed and walked gracefully in front of Zhao Mu. Seeing this, Concubine Liu and others hurriedly hid behind Queen Meng.

Although Queen Meng was afraid, she still maintained her dignity as the mother of a country. She looked at Zhao Mu and said, "Uncle, His Majesty treated you well in the past and never wronged you. Now you are the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Please spare your life for the sake of His Majesty's kindness in the past!"
