It was already midnight, and there were still many players in the outer city of the Mandate of Heaven Imperial City who were in a hurry to pick up tasks and go out of the city to level up, but the inner city, especially the area near the Imperial City Mountain, was almost sparsely populated.

The sound of footsteps continued to sound on the silent street, and Li Ming and Lonely rode like smoke and rode wildly, quickly rushing towards the gate on the left side of Huangcheng Mountain......

According to the location of the secret passage they found in the manor, Tianyou Mountain is on the left side of the Imperial City, so this secret passage will also pass under the gate on the left side of the Imperial City Mountain, leading to the location of the Imperial Tomb on the left cliff of the Imperial City Mountain!

Behind Li Ming sat a graceful witch, and the two mounts walked side by side, rushing all the way through the long streets and rushing towards the tall city tower in the distance.

At this time, the city tower on the left side of the Imperial City Mountain was also very lively, and there were suddenly teams of heavily armored soldiers in the city, the number of which almost reached thousands, and the leader of this thousand-person army was General Qingfeng, who was wearing a night suit not long ago and exploring the manor with Li Ming.

However, the current General Qingfeng was already wearing a mighty general's battle armor, holding a military order in one hand and pressing the sword on his waist with the other, leading the mighty soldiers to the city gate quickly.

He obtained important information this time, and as soon as he returned to the barracks, he immediately issued an order, asking his tens of thousands of Imperial City Guards to immediately start changing their defenses, and all the passages leading to the halfway of Huangcheng Mountain were all garrisoned by tens of thousands of legions, increasing the defense force of Huangcheng Mountain.

At the same time, he also sent thousands of people to the three city gates to be urgently armed, and personally led people to the city gate on the left to prepare for Li Ming's arrival.

"General Ben ordered that from today onwards, the three gates of the Imperial City will enter a state of emergency defense, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave without the permission of this general!" General Qingfeng shouted loudly.

Whoa!

"Obey the general's orders!"

There was a sound of armor tapping, and all the soldiers and officers bowed in unison, and the sound of neat answers resounded in the night sky.

Although there must be people hiding the second prince in the tens of thousands of Imperial City legions, General Qingfeng knew in his heart that the situation in the manor tonight had confirmed the ambition of the second prince, and the enemies in the manor had also discovered that outsiders had entered the manor to spy on them......

No matter what, the second prince will definitely take action, and General Qingfeng can't take care of it much now, he must strengthen the defense of the imperial city, and let the second prince know that if he dares to act rashly, at least he can't control the imperial city legion, and he won't dare to act too arrogant......

This is also the advice that Li Ming put forward to General Qingfeng, he is now strengthening his defense, and he can also make the second prince throw a mouse trap.

With the addition of defensive manpower to the three gates of the imperial city, a large number of soldiers immediately appeared at the foot of the entire imperial city, and all the passages leading to the mountain were defended by several times more soldiers.

It's a pity that no matter how many troops General Qingfeng has in his hands, he can't lead his soldiers to cross the archway into the mountainside, which does not belong to his defense area, once he oversteps his authority to enter, he will be immediately identified as a conspiracy, which just gives the second prince an excuse to deal with him.

Now there is only so much he can do, and the rest can only be pinned on Her Royal Highness the Princess and Mingming......

Airplanes!

The city gate on the left side slowly opened under the order of General Qingfeng, and he personally led the guards out of the city, standing at the gate and waiting nervously.

The sound of the horse's hooves continued to sound from the distance of the long street, and between the two white shadows, Li Ming and Lonely as Smoke rode the Wind Shadow Beast to the outside of the city gate at the same time.

Jumping off their mounts, the three of them quickly walked in front of General Qingfeng......

"With the token of the last general, you can go all the way to the outer city of the palace, but it is the territory of the forbidden army, and there is no way if you can enter the last general." General Qingfeng immediately handed over a token.

"Got it, we don't have to go in, the princess will come out on her own." Li Ming smiled faintly.

"That's great." General Qingfeng immediately turned around and walked into the gate of the imperial city with the three of them......

Sending them into the city, General Qingfeng stayed at the gate of the city, watching the three of them quickly cross the large plains and military camps at the foot of the mountain, and disappear into the dark night......

Hurrying all the way, the witch seemed to be extremely excited.

"Wow, the gods and demons have been fighting for thousands of years, and I am still the first demon clan to enter the Heavenly Mandate Imperial City openly." The witch laughed.

"You're no longer a demon." Li Ming replied lightly.

The three of them quickly approached the gate gate at the foot of the mountain, and there was also a passage up the mountain at the foot of the mountain on the left, but this passage was a little different from the middle and right mountain paths.

Because only the trail on the left has two forks on the mountainside, the fork on the right leads all the way to the halfway up the mountain, where it meets the middle and right passages and leads directly to the Imperial Palace.

The fork in the road on the left is the location leading to the Tomb of the Mandate of Heaven, which is also the only dedicated passage in the entire Imperial City Mountain.

The three of them took out the token, easily passed the large number of guard corps guards at the foot of the mountain, and walked quickly towards the mountain, ten minutes later they had climbed the high mountainside, looking back, at the foot of the Imperial City Mountain in the night, the distant outer city scene was all in full view.

The huge imperial city shines with countless halos of stars in the night, which is particularly magnificent.

"Sister Witch, I wonder if the Chaos Imperial City is exactly the same as our Heavenly Mandate Imperial City?" Lonely as smoke asked curiously.

"No, the Chaos Imperial City is all black buildings, and the terrain is different from yours." The witch shook her head in reply.

"If you want to know what the Chaos Imperial City looks like, go to the official website to check it out." Li Ming said with a smile.

The trio continued their climb up the mountain path and soon came to a fork in the road halfway up the mountain......

Looking at the fork in the road in front of him, the one on the left and the other on the right side of the road, the one on the left is the important location of the conspiracy of the two princes, and the Tomb of the Heavenly Mandate Emperor is at the end of this passage.

However, he didn't have time to check the situation of the imperial tomb now, so he hurriedly took the two beauties and walked quickly along the right passage.

After walking a distance, a mountain platform appeared in front of you, where all three passages at the foot of the mountain converged, and then formed a road leading directly to the outer city of the palace.

Standing on the platform, you can even see where the wall above your head is......

"We're here, and we can't get into the outer city of the palace anyway." Li Ming stood on the platform, immediately exhaled the package, and took out a short jade flute......

Lonely as smoke understands that Li Ming is preparing to contact Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Xiuxiu......

The jade flute was blown, and a strange sound rushed into the night sky.

Without waiting for a minute, the sound of fluttering and cheering sounded from mid-air, and a black shadow fell from the sky and landed directly on Li Ming's shoulder, which scared him a lot.

But when he saw clearly that there was a mighty eagle standing on his shoulder, he understood that this was the spirit eagle of Her Royal Highness the princess, who was summoned and quickly appeared.

According to the method told by the princess, the eagle did not need to be so troublesome, as long as he opened his mouth and told the eagle the message he wanted to transmit, it would quickly bring the message to its master.

"Tell Her Royal Highness the Princess, clearly there is something important to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to come to the mountainside platform to meet you!" Li Ming Zhengse said.
