As soon as the three of them walked out a short distance, they saw a young man in gold armor, leading more than 100 internal guards to run over, and as soon as they got closer, they knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers can escort you late, please forgive your sins..."

Shui Hong immediately raised his hand and said, "Let's all get up... Commander Jiang, what's the situation ahead?"

It turned out that this golden-armored young man was none other than Jiang Zining, the grandson of the Marquis of Pingyuan, who was now the commander of the second-grade guards, and he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, the palace may not be able to hold it, it is estimated that there are as many as 30,000 rebels, I discussed it with General Qi, and I think it is more appropriate to send you out of the palace first, the four gates of the imperial city are surrounded, you can leave from the secret passage in the northwest corner..."

When Shui Hong heard this, his face changed: "Confused, at this time, if you let me abandon the palace and escape, wouldn't you give up the country to others in vain..."

Jiang Zining knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean that... You'd better go quickly, I'm afraid it'll be too late..."

Shui Hong's face quickly softened, and he stepped forward to pull Jiang Zining up and said, "Okay, General Zining, I know your loyalty... If you have elderly parents or young children to be fed, I will allow you to leave the palace and go home... As for me, thousands of lives in the harem are in danger, and I will never abandon them..."

As soon as Jiang Zining heard this, tears suddenly flowed out: "Your Majesty, as a guard of the Great Interior, how could I flee from the battle, and I will definitely defend the emperor to the death..."

The more than 100 guards behind also shouted in unison: "Swear to defend the emperor to the death, swear to defend the palace to the death!"

Baoyu secretly said in his heart, it seems that Shui Hong's classmate is indeed not covered, the level of this "pretending to be forced" has the potential to surpass him, and these people have been stabilized in a few words, and they are really becoming more and more emperor-like, but I just feel a little uncomfortable.

Moreover, Baoyu knew from his own experience that there must be a limit to "pretending to be forced", especially now that 100,000 is urgent, he can't delay too much time, so he reminded on the side: "Your Majesty, the situation ahead is urgent, let's hurry over, in case the Praetorian Guards can't stop it and the rebels break in, it's not fun..."

Shui Hong nodded and responded, "Uncle Bao is right... Commander Jiang, take your people, open the way ahead, and today I will personally clean up this group of rebels..."

Baoyu suddenly wanted to be happy in his heart, and thought, okay, I'll see what your kid will use to clean up for a while, but he said: "Yes, General Zining, let's hurry over, without the emperor in charge, I'm afraid they will be chaotic..."

Jiang Zining glanced at Baoyu suspiciously, probably thinking in his heart, who is this, why does he talk so "bullish", it seems that he is even more than the emperor.

Shui Hong saw it in his eyes and hurriedly added: "General Zining, this is my uncle of the opposite sex, just like Uncle Beijing Emperor, he is my closest relative, from now on, his words are my words, and you all have to listen to his command..."

Jiang Zining opened his mouth wide, this turned out to be the "imperial uncle", no wonder he spoke so awesomely, but he was still a little suspicious in his heart, when was the "imperial uncle" so worthless, the opposite sex can also be it, but since the emperor spoke, he had to agree: "It's the emperor... I'll listen to Uncle Huang for a while..."

The position of the imperial garden from the Taihe Gate is about seven or eight hundred steps, Baoyu and Shui Hong accelerated all the way under the arch guard of the guards, and saw many palace maids and eunuchs in a mess on the way, and they didn't have time to care for a while.

Everyone quickly walked out of the gate of the inner palace, and immediately saw hundreds of sergeants holding long and short weapons in their hands, neatly standing in front of the inner palace to form a human wall, with a high degree of vigilance.

Looking further, probably in front of the door of the "Baohe Palace", there is another human wall, neat and solemn, not chaotic.

Baoyu secretly praised in his heart, the commander of the Praetorian Guard must be a great character, so he manages the army well, and he doesn't know which general it is, whether he has heard of it, or whether he has seen it in the book "Red Mansion", because this guard commander "Jiang Zining" is mentioned in the book.

Just thinking about it, a young general in silver armor ran over, and as soon as he saw Jiang Zining, he shouted: "Zining, what's the matter with you, didn't you ask you to escort the emperor out of the palace, why did you come back again..."

Jiang Zining looked embarrassed: "This..."

At this time, the silver-armored general suddenly saw Shui Hong in the middle of the crowd, and his face suddenly changed: "Your Majesty, why didn't you leave?"

Shui Hong looked calm and relaxed, and said with a smile: "General Qi doesn't need to panic, I came here to cheer you on, and a small rebel can't scare me..."

"Ahh ”

Shui Hong's face changed suddenly, and Jiang Zining hurriedly said, "Jianhui, how can you talk to the emperor, you don't want your head..."

Qi Jianhui was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Your Majesty, Taihemen is in a fierce battle, and it may be broken at any time, it is not safe for you to rush over like this..."

Shui Hong's self-esteem was hurt, and he suddenly straightened his face, as if he didn't know how to deal with this situation for a while, punish it, people are desperately defending themselves, don't punish it, an emperor, where is Tianwei.

Baoyu was surprised, sure enough, this is another character mentioned in the Red Mansion Book, "Qi Jianhui", isn't it the grandson of the Marquis of Xiangyang, he can't care about public and private, so he said to Shui Hong: "Your Majesty, General Qi is straightforward, but he is also dedicated to your safety, you must not blame him..."

When Shui Hong heard this, he immediately came back to pretending to be forced, and said with a forgiving smile: "General Qi is loyal, I naturally know, how can I go back and blame... But I have made up my mind, I must go to the front in person to calm down the rebels, Qi Aiqing doesn't need to persuade anymore..."

Qi Jianhui was a little ignorant of current affairs, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Jiang Zining: "Jianhui, let's listen to the emperor's arrangement..."

Qi Jianhui had no choice but to get out of the way and let everyone pass, Baoyu was secretly worried about this grandson of the Marquis of Xiangyang, such a character, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to mix in the future, of course, it also depends on how "wise" the emperor can be in the future.

Everyone directly bypassed the "Baohe Palace" and the "Zhonghe Palace" and came to the "Taihe Palace" square, and immediately saw hundreds of soldiers blocking the door of the Taihe Palace, desperately resisting the impact outside.

Baoyu saw that the situation was indeed very critical, no wonder Qi Jianhui dared to speak out, because the palace really has a strong city wall, and it is the "Noon Gate" that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the "Taihe Gate" can only be regarded as an inner gate, and the defense capacity is very limited.

These rebels can even break through the "Noon Gate" in such a short time, so why do they care about this second gate.

Suddenly, an old general wearing heavy armor and holding a big sword in his hand ran over, bowed to Shui Hong, and said: "Feng Tang, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, knocks on the emperor... Your Majesty, why did you come here in person, and I handed it over to the old minister here..."

Baoyu sighed secretly, Jiang is still old and spicy, and in the same way, this old general tastes different when he says it... What, he calls himself Feng Tang?

Baoyu fixed his eyes and couldn't help shouting: "Feng Shibo, why are you..."

It turned out that this person was none other than Feng Ziying's biological father, the old general Feng Tang, Baoyu was strange, didn't he already return home, how could he suddenly become the commander of the Praetorian Guard.

Feng Tang looked at Baoyu for two seconds, and said a little unsurely: "You are Jia Shilang's son..."

Baoyu replied, "Shibo, it's the little nephew..."

Feng Tang's face was slightly different: "Virtuous nephew, why are you in the palace?"

Baoyu thought to herself, this is a long talk, and now there is no time for this, so she said: "That... I'm also here to protect the emperor..."

Feng Tang looked suddenly enlightened, but his expression was a little disapproving, and he whispered: "Virtuous nephew, you and the emperor must not come forward for a while, this war is not a joke... Just have an old man in front of you... Seeing that the situation is not right, you will quickly lead the emperor to retreat..."

At this time, only to hear a "bang", one of the doors of the Taihe Gate was knocked open, and the soldiers guarding the door suddenly lay down, and the rebels outside poured in like a tide.

Feng Tang's face was stunned, and he immediately turned around and shouted, "Don't panic, follow the predetermined plan..."

I can't help but say that this old General Feng Tang did arrange his troops in a good way, and he did not let the soldiers guarding the gate fight again, but quickly retreated.

Before the rebels could rush far, the reserves behind fired a volley of arrows, and immediately shot down a large number of those who were in the lead.
