None of the things that Gu Qingming and Yun Yao were worried about had happened.

For example, if Qin Yuankai didn't drink soup, then there must be a bitter battle between Gu Qingming and Qin Yuankai, if the guards in the mansion were alarmed, Gu Qingming might not be able to retreat with his whole body;

But fortunately, this kind of incident did not happen, even Gu Qingming and other people who have always been calm and rational have to sigh God bless, maybe the Shen royal family has already reached the time when they have to change hands, so even God is on the side of His Royal Highness King Yi.

The Qin Mansion was completely chaotic.

The fire was spreading in a large area, and many maids and maids who had already rested were also slightly injured, and the guards in the house came and went, busy catching the thieves.

However, since Gu Qingming and Yun Yao had a plan, how could they be caught by the guards of the Qin Mansion?

Zheng Ping had already taken Yun Yao to wait at the side gate, but as soon as Xiang Hua arrived, the two of them left the Qin Mansion with Yun Yao, and quietly left the city before the news of Qin Yuankai's assassination spread.

But Gu Qingming took a different path, slipped out of the west city gate, and went directly to Yuncang Mountain from the western suburbs.

Shen Ze, the Emperor of Daning, and the soldiers of the Gu family army in the past, were waiting for Gu Qingming's arrival on Yuncang Mountain.

Rao is Gu Qingming arrived at Yuncang Mountain and asked Sendai that it was early in the morning, but Shen Ze still got up without hesitation to meet him. After all, Luo Song had already been instructed earlier, and if General Gu arrived, he would definitely report it whenever he came.

In the grand hall of the built Sendai, Shen Ze sat on the main seat, watching Gu Qingming enter with the stars in a dark robe, with a bit of wind and rain on his body.

"Qingming, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Shen Ze got up, not caring about the dignity of the emperor, so he quickly greeted him and patted Gu Qingming on the shoulder, with an uncontrollable smile in his eyes.

Yes, he has been waiting for a long, long time, since he demoted Gu Qingming's official position, regardless of the opposition of the courtiers to build the Qiantai in Yuncang Mountain, he has not asked about the world for nearly two years, the long wait, the loneliness of forbearance, all for this day.

Shen Ze knew that since Gu Qingming could appear here, it meant that King Yi's army was already in the city, and the overall situation of the capital would be decided.

"The last general will see the emperor. Gu Qingming bowed, and then said, "Thank you for the emperor's trust, the last general will not be dishonored." Now that Qin Yuankai is dead, His Royal Highness King Yi will enter the capital just around the corner. ”

"Very good. Hearing this, Shen Ze nodded, then took out something from his sleeve and put it in Gu Qingming's hand, "This thing has been in my hands for two years, and now it can finally be returned to its original owner." ”

The cold touch made Gu Qingming's heart move slightly, he lowered his head, looked at the familiar talisman in his palm by the candlelight in the hall, and immediately knelt down and thanked the Holy Grace.

"Please rest assured that the last general will live up to Your Majesty's trust. Gu Qingming said firmly.

"Okay, in that case, I will hand over all the brothers on this Yuncang Mountain to you. Shen Ze smiled, "It's been two years, and I've finally waited for this day." Gu Aiqing, you are tired of traveling, go and rest first, and order your troops early tomorrow morning and march to the east city gate. ”

"The last general will take the order!" Gu Qingming agreed with his fists, and then Luo Song led him to the room to rest.

Gu Qingming only slept for about two or three hours, and he got up early in the morning to clean up, fading away from the embarrassment of rushing last night, and wearing a blue robe made him more and more handsome.

Gu Jiajun was originally a soldier and horse brought up by Gu Qingming, and he had always only recognized people and not soldiers, not to mention that Gu Qingming was holding a soldier talisman now, even if the name was not right, as long as he stopped here, Gu Jiajun's sons and daughters did not dare to slack off.

Soon, the Gu family army placed on Yuncang Mountain was integrated, waiting for Gu Qingming's instructions in the huge open space.

Gu Jiajun's soldiers and horses are not expensive, and there are only 80,000 soldiers and horses when they are full, which is not as good as the 150,000 people in the camp in the southern suburbs of Qin Yuankai, but it is just such 80,000 people, and when they are gathered together, they are like a rainbow, and they exude vigor all over their bodies.

As usual, after saying a few opening words, Gu Qingming held up the talisman and ordered: "Let's go!"

For Gu Jiajun, who has always forbidden absolute obedience, these two words are undoubtedly the most exciting. Because of the dormancy of the emperor and General Gu, and because of the suspicion of the Empress Dowager Qin, they hid in the deep mountains and old forests of Yuncang Mountain for two years, and practiced every day under the guise of building Qiantai, in order to follow Gu Qingming to the battlefield again one day.

Now that they have finally waited for the opportunity, how can they give up?

In an instant, these soldiers were in high spirits, followed behind Gu Qingming, detoured through the sub-mountain range of Yuncang Mountain, and approached the eastern gate of Gyeonggi.

At the same time, Yun Yao and the others also arrived at the Yiguo military camp after a night of hiding and hurrying, met King Yi, and brought back the news of Qin Yuankai's assassination.

When Shen Che heard this, he was overjoyed: "Okay! It is worthy of Gu Qingming, there is no unfinished task when you make a move!"

"What are Your Highness's plans next?" Yun Yao was worried about Gu Qingming, but it was not easy to inquire too much, so she could only start from Shen Che to see if she could speculate about Gu Qingming's location through Shen Che's words.

"Did Yun Yao ever know that the one million loads of grain and grass that Qin Yuankai promised to give Beidi had already set off from the camp in the southern suburbs the day before yesterday and was ready to be transported to Beidi?" Shen Che asked with a light smile, "What is sent to his mouth, it is impossible for this king to give up, what do you think?"

"Your Highness said yes. Yun Yao quickly understood Shen Che's intentions, but she asked again, "What about the capital?" Qin Yuankai is dead, and the capital is in chaos, when will you not fight at this time?"

"Yun Yao, do you know where Gu Qingming went?" Shen Che listened to Yun Yao's question and asked instead of answering.

Yun Yao shook her head suspiciously, indicating that she didn't know.

Shen Che didn't hide it from Yun Yao, so he told all the things that Shen Ze had arranged in Yuncang Mountain two years ago, and told Yun Yao that Gu Qingming would definitely take the Gu family army to the East City Gate at this time, but the sub-mountain range of Yun Cang Mountain was relatively long, and it would take three or four days to reach the East City Gate.

In other words, Shen Che could use these three or four days to rob Qin Yuankai of the grain and grass prepared for Beidi, and then come back to attack the south gate of the capital, which was carried out at the same time as Gu Qingming's attack on the east gate.

The east gate of the capital is the weakest guard among the four gates, because Qin Yuankai relies on the natural danger of the Yuncang Mountain Range, and feels that it is impossible for a large number of troops to attack the east city gate, so the guard is not as tight as the other three gates.

Now that Qin Yuankai is dead, even if he had arranged the guards of the capital before he died, it was still a little useless in the face of a war genius like Gu Qingming. What's more, there is no one in the capital who is Gu Qingming's opponent, and with the cooperation of King Yi at the south gate, why not win this battle?

After learning about Gu Qingming's news, Yun Yao was completely relieved.

There seemed to be nothing to be done now, and she stayed in the tent all day waiting, waiting for the dust to settle.

Two days later, Yun Yao received a letter from Gu Chen from afar, saying that Gu Yan had arrived in Ruiguo with someone and was ready to cooperate with him in rescuing Lu Yingquan.

After calculating the distance from Ruiguo to the capital, this letter should have been written seven or eight days ago, and I don't know how Lu Yingquan is now.

Since they were separated in Dusk City, Yun Yao had never seen Lu Yingquan again, and in the past half a year, she had traveled all over the country, from Beidi to Qin Mansion, everything was dangerous, and she didn't have too much energy to think about other things.

Now that she is free, she suddenly realizes that Yingquan's situation is not much better than her. She goes deep into the tiger's den all the time, but Yingquan is also in the wolf's den.

However, no matter how worried Yun Yao was, she couldn't reach it. She also wanted to go to Ruiguo to save Lu Yingquan, but she was powerless, and Ruiguo was Shen Chi's territory, so she couldn't do anything, so she just waited to pray to the heavens every day, hoping that Gu Chen and Gu Yan could bring Yingquan and the child back safely.

The capital of Daning is surging, and the final decisive battle is about to break out.

Two days later, Shen Che came back with a million loads of grain, rested his troops and horses that night, and invited several generals to the tent to discuss strategy and tactics.

After dawn, lead the troops to attack the city.

Yun Yao knew that the Gu family army led by Gu Qingming had already arrived at the East City Gate, so King Yi would attack the South Gate without any scruples.

The south gate is easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus the focus of Qin Yuankai's previous arrangement is the south gate, and then the battalion of Qin Yuankai's soldiers and horses is also in the southern suburbs, and the battle is anxious for a while, and it is difficult to give up.

Fortunately, Gu Qingming's attack on the East City Gate was very smooth, and the weak guards coupled with Gu Qingming's outstanding war talent took only three days for the East City Gate to be broken.

With Gu Qingming's internal and external cooperation, the south gate suddenly became chaotic, and no matter how capable the guards were, in the face of Gu Qingming and Shen Che's front and back attacks, they could only bow down.

At the same time, the news of Qin Yuankai's death spread in the capital, and the news spread like wings in the army, causing panic in the people.

Originally, there were some generals who didn't believe in this matter and thought that it was a conspiracy of the enemy army, but it wasn't until a few colleagues went to the Qin Mansion to ask for a meeting, but they didn't see Qin Yuankai come forward, and finally watched the city gate be broken, so they reluctantly believed that Qin Yuankai was really dead.

And the capital ...... It has also become the bag of Yiwang.

Half a month later, the capital was completely broken, and the gates of the imperial city opened automatically, as if to welcome a new master.

At the gate of Chaoyang Gate, which was closest to the East City Gate, Gu Qingming was guarding there, waiting for Shen Che's arrival.

Yun Yao sat in the carriage and followed Shen Che's personal guards to Chaoyang Gate, she gently lifted the curtain and looked at Gu Qingming standing at the gate, his armor was still stained with blood, with the embarrassment after the fight, but his body was still so upright, and his eyes were still so firm.

This man, who was bound by the Gu family's legacy, had the grand ambition of his family and country, and now, his ideals are gradually being realized.

Shen Che did not enter the palace directly, he did not even bring the army into the capital, only brought a few personal guards, and set up camp at the gate of Chaoyangmen.

Others only thought that Shen Che was really stupid, and he had called in, but he didn't know what he was waiting for. But only people like Yun Yao and Gu Qingming knew that Shen Che was waiting for Shen Ze to come back.
