The trail that Lin Han said was tortuous and circuitous, and the dense jungle that stretched along the road almost blocked the sky overhead, and it was indeed extremely secretive.

Several soldiers of the Shenrui Battalion opened the way in front, wielding their blades to split the branches and weeds that were almost covering the path, while the remaining about 30,000 soldiers of the Shenrui Battalion and 20,000 black-armored soldiers were guarding around Qingyun and the others, and the group walked carefully in the path.

There was no danger along the way, and after almost three hours, everyone finally crossed the trail and came to the west gate of the capital, which was slightly loosely defended in comparison.

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

Qingyun then whispered to everyone to hide their deeds and rest in place, wait for it to get dark, and then sneak into the capital in batches, and enter the palace from those two secret passages.

At the same time, Lou Haiyang led thousands of purple-clothed guards into the three counties to try to distract the attention of the rebels, so that Yi Yongbo and the 50,000 Xiaowei battalion could cross the trail in Xiangyang County and march towards the capital, while Tian Yue led the other 50,000 Xiaowei battalions to enter the capital from the trail in Anhe County, and then hide inside and outside the capital.

As for the other armies, they secretly formed an encirclement of the capital and the three counties, and immediately launched an offensive as soon as the signal appeared, and joined forces with Qingyun and others, as well as the troops inside and outside the capital, to annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop.

Night fell quietly, and the candles on the city walls swayed in the wind reflected the cold moonlight.

There was a faint sound of the soldiers on duty talking on the city wall.

"Captain 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 King Rui and Han Taifu and other ministers were imprisoned in the prison because of the falsification of King Chun's edict on the throne, and it is obvious that King Chun is a thief." Another muffled voice spoke.

"It's not just King Chun, I heard that Taiwei Lin not only poisoned and murdered the emperor, but also set fire to burn the emperor to death in the Mingde Palace, intending to seize the country......"

"There are also people who say that Taiwei Lin colluded with Wei Li Guo and borrowed 100,000 elite soldiers from the five cities in the west to deal with the Nine Princesses, but I don't know if it's true?"

"You're wrong!" A hoarse voice retorted: "It's not Taiwei Lin, it's the concubine who colluded with Mo Hanji, the prince of Wei Li, in order to deal with the Ninth Princess, and even gave Princess Yongle to Mo Hanji as a concubine." ”

The man before was surprised: "Princess Yongle is the biological daughter of the concubine, and she is the princess of our country, how can the concubine bear to give Princess Yongle to Mohanji as a concubine?" ”

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

"It's so pitiful that a kind person like Princess Yongle just died and was given as a concubine by her biological mother."

"If only the Ninth Princess were here." A rough voice suddenly sighed: "At the beginning, Gong Yuanhao rebelled, that is, the ninth princess strategized and quickly quelled the civil strife at the smallest cost, if the ninth princess was here, maybe the first emperor would not die suddenly, Princess Yongle would not be given away as a concubine, and the situation would not be so strict." ”

"Yes, the Ninth Princess is wise and benevolent and loves the people like a son, and she will definitely not allow those people to make trouble and cause trouble to the people!"

Several voices agreed in unison.

"It's a pity that the Ninth Princess is a woman, not a real royal bloodline, otherwise I, Wang Wu, would be the first to support the Ninth Princess to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne!" Someone lamented.

"What about women? What if it's not 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, just say that in the past two years, the plague in Nanyang County, the crisis in the north, Gong Yuanhao conspired against him, and the Jechen Palace was ruined, and how many corrupt officials have been punished...... Isn't this pile, piece by piece, all the credit of the Ninth Princess?

What's more, the emperor loved the nine princesses so much, not only took the nine princesses to inspect the border passes and the people every year, but also let the nine princesses participate in the court politics, maybe the first emperor really intended to pass on the throne to the nine princesses.

If the ninth princess succeeds to the throne as the emperor, I believe that the country will definitely be peaceful and peaceful, and the mental strategy of the ninth princess is beyond the reach of many men in the world, and she has a lot of friendship with the kings of the three kingdoms of Chu, Liang and Zhou, and I believe that no country dares to invade our country lightly. ”

"That's just as well." Wang Wu agreed.

"I, Zhang Ling, am a rough man, I don't understand those big truths, as long as anyone really benefits the people, I Zhang Ling will support whoever is the emperor, it doesn't matter whether the emperor is male or female, whether it is royal blood or not!" The rough voice is Zhang Ling's fearless way.

Zhang Ling's words fell, and the city wall was suddenly silent.

"That's it!" A slightly cold voice suddenly broke the quiet atmosphere: "As a soldier, you should obey orders, how can you wait for these things to be discussed in vain?" ”

"Captain Lee......"

Zhang Ling wanted to say something, but was stopped by Captain Li in time: "No matter what kind of mind you have, you must first save your life, otherwise it will be empty talk!" ”

"My subordinates understand!"

Hearing the conversation on the city tower clearly, Qingyun's eyes crossed a trace of secretiveness, and he glanced sideways at Mo Xuan.

Mo Xuan, who understood it, immediately jumped onto the high city wall, his body moved and his hands waved at the same time, after a faint burst of white smoke, those soldiers on duty all fainted to the ground before they could react, and then jumped off the city wall, opened the city gate, and Qingyun and his party immediately quietly entered the capital.

He instructed Li Feixue and Sima Qi to sneak into the palace with a small half of the army from the dark passage dug by Zhilan, while Qingyun led the rest of the people to avoid the patrolling soldiers and quickly and quietly rushed to the exit of the secret passage leading to Luoxia Palace.

By the time the unconscious soldiers on duty came to their senses, the inside and outside of the city walls were as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened, and the soldiers did not notice the slightest abnormality, and naturally did not think much about it.

Along the way, the usual night is the most lively and bustling street market, at this moment there is no pedestrian to see, every door is closed, occasionally you can see one or two lonely lights flickering, a breeze of night breeze faintly mixed with the smell of fish, the whole capital seems particularly bleak and treacherous.

Pulling the cloak on his body, Qingyun's brows were tightly knit with coldness, and his deep eyes flashed with self-blame and regret, as well as a trace of murderous intent.

Sensing the cold that burst out of Qingyun's body, Mo Xuan's heart sank, and he reached out to hold her tightly held hand, silently giving her strong support.

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

"You're finally back!"
