The path Lin Han mentioned twists and turns, and the dense jungle along the road almost covers the sky above his head, so it is really extremely secretive.

A few soldiers from the Shenrui Battalion opened the way ahead, brandishing their weapons and splitting through the branches and weeds that almost covered the path, while the remaining [-] soldiers from the Shenrui Battalion and [-] Heijia soldiers guarded Qingyun and the others. , a group of people walked cautiously on the path.

There was no danger along the way, and after about three hours, everyone finally passed through this trail and arrived at the west gate of the capital, which was relatively lax in defense.

Looking up at the high city wall, people could be seen faintly moving on the city wall, and there was a faint noise in the ear, Qingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was obvious that they had avoided the patrolling garrison of Xinxiang and quietly arrived outside the city wall of the capital.

Qing Yun immediately ordered everyone to hide their whereabouts and rest in place in a low voice, and then quietly sneaked into the capital in batches after dark, and entered the palace through the two secret passages.

At the same time, Lou Haiyang led several thousand purple guards into the three counties to try to distract the rebels' attention, so that Uncle Yiyong and the Fifty Thousand Xiaowei Battalion could cross the trail in Xiangyang County and march towards the capital, while Tian Yue Lead the other [-] Xiaowei Battalion into the capital from the trail in Anhe County, and then hide inside and outside the capital.

As for the other troops, they secretly formed a siege around the capital city and the three counties, and immediately launched an offensive as soon as the signal appeared, together with Qingyun and the others, as well as the troops that had entered the capital city and outside the capital, they should unite to wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop.

As night fell quietly, a few candles swaying with the wind on the city wall and the cool moonlight reflected each other.

Discussions from the soldiers on duty could be heard faintly on the city wall.

"Lieutenant Li, there are rumors outside that King Chun is plotting to usurp the throne. Is this true?" a voice said cautiously.

"My subordinates have also heard that Prince Rui, Taifu Han and other ministers were imprisoned for accusing King Chun of having a false edict to inherit the throne. It is obvious that Prince Chun has a guilty conscience." Another deep voice interjected.

"It's not just King Chun. I heard that Lin Taiwei not only poisoned the late emperor, but also set fire to the late emperor in the Mingde Palace in an attempt to seize the country..."

"There are also people who say that Lin Taiwei colluded with Li Guo and borrowed [-] elite soldiers from the five cities to the west to deal with the nine princesses. I don't know if it is true?"

"You're wrong!" A hoarse voice retorted: "It's not Taiwei Lin, it's the imperial concubine who colluded with Crown Prince Mohanji of Li Kingdom in order to deal with the Ninth Princess, and even gave Princess Yongle to Mohanji as his concubine."

The person before said in surprise: "Princess Yongle is the biological daughter of the noble concubine, and she is a princess of our country. How can the noble concubine have the heart to give Princess Yongle to Mohanji as a concubine?"

"Who knows what the imperial concubine thinks?" The hoarse voice was full of contempt.

"It's so pitiful that a kind-hearted person like Princess Yongle was given away as a concubine by her biological mother not long after her son-in-law died."

"It would be great if the Ninth Princess was here." A rough voice suddenly sighed: "When Gong Yuanhao conspired against him, it was the Ninth Princess who planned a strategy to quickly quell the civil strife at the least cost. The emperor will not die suddenly, Princess Yongle will not be given away as a concubine, and the situation will not be so serious."

"That's right, Princess Nine is wise and kind and loves the people like a child. I will definitely not allow those people to stir up troubles to endanger the country and the people!"

Several voices agreed in unison.

"It's a pity that the ninth princess is a woman, not the real blood of the royal family, otherwise I, Wang Wu, would be the first to support the ninth princess's ascension to the throne!" Someone exclaimed.

"What about the woman? What if it's not of royal blood?" The rough voice said indignantly: "Not to mention that the Ninth Princess has been doing her best for the well-being of the country and the people for so many years. Crisis, Gong Yuanhao's rebellion, the destruction of Juechen Palace, how many corrupt officials have been punished... Isn't it all thanks to the Nine Princesses?

What's more, the late emperor loved the ninth princess so much that he not only took the ninth princess to inspect the border and the people every year, but also let the ninth princess participate in the government affairs. Maybe the late emperor really intended to pass on the throne to the ninth princess.

If the Nine Princesses succeed to the throne, I believe that the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe. However, the Nine Princesses' mental strategy is beyond the reach of many men in the world, and they have a lot of friendship with the three kingdoms of Chu, Liang, and Zhou. I believe that no country dares to take it easy. Invade our country. "

"That's true." Wang Wu agreed.

"I, Zhangling, am a rough person. I don't understand those great principles. As long as anyone sincerely benefits the people, I, Zhangling, will support whoever is the emperor, regardless of whether the emperor is male or female, or whether he is of royal blood!" The rough voice, that is, Zhang Ling said fearlessly.

After Zhang Ling's words fell, there was a sudden silence on the city wall.

"Okay!" A slightly cold voice suddenly broke the quiet atmosphere: "As a soldier, you should obey orders. How can you talk about these things?"

"Lieutenant Li..."

Zhang Ling wanted to say something, but Li Xiaowei stopped him in time: "No matter what your thoughts are, you must first save your life, otherwise everything is empty talk!"

"My subordinate understands!"

Hearing clearly the conversation on the tower, Qingyun's eyes flashed a secretive edge, and she glanced sideways at Mo Xuan.

Mo Xuan, who understood what he knew, jumped up the high city wall. His figure moved like a ghost while waving his hands together. After bursts of light white smoke, the soldiers on duty all fainted before they had time to react, and then jumped down the city wall and opened the city gate. , Qingyun and his party then quietly entered the capital.

Instruct Li Feixue and Sima Qi to take a small half of the army to sneak into the palace through the secret passage dug by Zhilan, while Qingyun led the rest of the people to avoid the patrolling soldiers, and quickly and quietly rushed to the entrance to the Luoxia Palace. At the exit of the dark passage.

When the comatose soldiers on duty woke up, the calm inside and outside the city wall had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. The soldiers didn't notice anything strange, so naturally they didn't think much about it.

Along the way, the street market is usually the busiest at night. At this moment, no pedestrians can be seen at all, and the doors of every house are closed. Occasionally, one or two solitary lights can be seen flickering, and there is a faint fishy smell in the night wind In the air, the whole capital city looks extraordinarily bleak and quiet.

Closing the cloak around her body, Qingyun frowned with coldness, her deep eyes flashed with self-blame and regret, and there was also a trace of fierce killing intent.

Noticing the bone-chilling coldness emanating from Qingyun's body, Mo Xuan's heart shivered, and he stretched out his hand to hold the hand she was holding tightly, silently giving her strong support.

The warm feeling from the palm made Qingyun's tense nerves gradually relax, and he held Mo Xuan's hand behind his back, and walked side by side with him.

"You are finally back!"
