The north of the palace faces the Jinyang Palace, which is the bedroom of the current Xinhao Emperor Yao Chengrui. Yao Chengrui is tall, with a square face and big ears, a majestic appearance, a short beard on the lips, a half-finger long beard under the chin, and a very delicately trimmed beard. A pair of dragon eyes flashed with a spirit that seemed to be able to see through everything, and the momentum was terrifying.

At this time, he was calmly listening to the reports of Weng Tongguang, the head of the Mirror Moon Division, and Yao Kangnian, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, in the imperial study, but the sharp eyes on his calm face were gloomy.

After Weng Tongguang's report was completed, he did not dare to come out, trembling and waiting for the emperor's instructions. It wasn't until a quarter of an hour ago that it was determined that it was the rebellion of the four princes, and he, as the leader of the secret agents in the imperial capital, did not get the news in advance, which was equivalent to a dereliction of duty, and he felt extremely nervous.

Yao Kangnian is a member of the royal family, although he reacted quickly and organized the guards to strengthen the palace gate as soon as possible, but the enemy had already broken through several palace gates first, and thousands of people had entered the palace, which was also his dereliction of duty. The two of them felt the emperor's hidden anger, and they both felt tremendous pressure, and they bowed down, their faces frightened.

Yao Chengrui's usual lack of anger and self-authority made people nervous, but at this time, Long's eyes were full of anger, and he glared at Weng Tongguang and Yao Kangnian, and the two of them were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

Yao Chengrui's voice was cold, "It seems that it is a wrong decision to put you in the position of the head of the secret agent and the commander of the Praetorian Guard. The rebels have all entered the palace, and you will only realize it later. Tell me, what are you going to do about it? ”

Weng Tongguang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, according to the analysis of the news obtained by Gu Weichen, the thief wants to hide his body in the snow and is dressed in white, but it also makes it easy for us to distinguish between friend and foe." The thieves attacked from the three gates of Suning, Shuncheng, and Shunli in the west and south respectively, and joined forces with the guards in the palace of the four princes, and their targets were the palace of the second prince and the hall of Vientiane. In addition, some official mansions and scholars' mansions in the city were also attacked, and Wechen was waiting for spies to report the details. Speaking of this, he glanced at Yao Kangnian, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, with a little weakness.

Yao Kangnian coughed and said, "What Lord Weng said is good, Weichen has also reconsolidated and strengthened the defense of the three gates of Suning, Shuncheng, and Shunli, and at the same time strengthened the guarding force of the other palace gates. As long as the emperor summons 8,000 guards into the palace to quell the rebellion, and join my 4,000 Janissaries and Zilongwei, we only need to surround the Second Prince's Hall and the Vientiane Palace, and we can wipe out all the thieves. ”

Yan Qilu, the commander of the Purple Dragon Guard, stood aside solemnly and calmly, and then said, "Did the two adults monitor the foreign clans in the imperial capital and the people of the Yunze Tianchuan Kingdom?" Nowadays, a large number of foreigners have entered the imperial capital through the big tournament and the Jade Medal Spring Festival, and I am worried that something will happen to them. It would be unwise for the four princes to dare to make trouble just by relying on a few thousand people. So I'm afraid they'll have other followers, most likely because he's already backed by foreign powers. For these foreigners, of course, they hope that our country will be as chaotic as possible! ”

Weng Tongguang was shocked, and hurriedly said: "The secret agent of the Mirror Moon Division has been monitoring the mansions of various countries and clans, and will follow anyone who enters and exits, and has not found any abnormal movements in them so far. ”

Yao Chengrui glared at him and said, "The people left behind in the mansion are just the ones who attract your attention. They only need to send the elite of the clan, and the various clans are united, and the number is very considerable. Even Yun Ze and Tianchuan may be involved in fishing in troubled waters, and this time all those who plot against me Xinhao will not come back. ”

Yao Chengrui's eyes flashed murderously, and he glanced at the three people in the room again, and said when cold sweat oozed from the backs of the three of them: "The garrison guards are guarding the major deputy cities, and sending five thousand garrisons into the main city to assist in the defense, and all the guards will enter the palace to join forces with the Praetorian Guards to quell the rebellion!" ”

He threw a purple gold royal card to Yan Qilu, and Yan Qilu was ordered to leave the herald arrangement.

Yao Chengrui's eyes flickered, and he muttered, "What is the current situation of the Vientiane Palace?" Ruiguo presided over the cultural meeting in the Vientiane Palace, I originally intended to show my face, how can the cultural meeting be held now? There are a large number of scholars, literati and officials gathered in the hall, all of whom are the pillars of the country, and they cannot be damaged! ”

Yao Kangnian bowed down and said, "I just got the news that a large number of white-clothed thieves are attacking the Vientiane Palace, and they have not yet broken through the defense of the Praetorian Guards. I have instructed the Praetorian Guards to come to the rescue, and there are many monks in the temple, and when the time comes, they will be able to defeat the thieves and protect the safety of the people in the temple. ”

After a while, Yan Qilu hurriedly returned, followed by a Praetorian Guard general. The general trotted forward and knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, the news just came, Su Qing, Su Ning, and a large number of black-clothed people have attacked the palace at the second palace gate, and the number of people is about four thousand ....... ”

Including Yao Chengrui, the three of them were shocked. Yao Kangnian preemptively said: "How come, is it the reserve force of the thief?" But why are these people dressed in black? ”

The general of the Praetorian Guard clenched his fists and said: "The two groups of white and black are not accomplices, and the two groups have already fought outside the Vientiane Palace." ”

Several people looked surprised and thoughtful. Yan Qilu wanted to speak and stopped, Yao Kangnian and Weng Tongguang exchanged a look, thinking that there was a guess in their hearts, but they were as silent as Yan Qilu.

All kinds of thoughts surged in Yao Chengrui's mind, and his eyes flickered brightly and darkly, as if he had just realized that something was happening that was beyond his control. He saw the expressions of the three of them who wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't speak to them, and thought for a while: "No matter who they are, dare to break into the palace and take them together, I want to see who is behind this scene." Several people responded with a bang.

There was another sound of rapid footsteps, and a purple dragon guard in a purple suit came in and knelt down and said: "Just now a thief broke into the Imperial Horse Xuan, Yuan Tou and the seven purple guards joined forces and still lost the opponent, and the winged horse was snatched away by the thief!" The thieves drove their horses away, and Yuan Tou was leading the Zilongwei in pursuit. ”

A fierce divine power enveloped the imperial study. Everyone felt that the irresistible coercion filled the entire space, and the Shenyuan was all restrained, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to move. The pressure of the gods disappeared suddenly, and Yao Chengrui said in a cold voice: "It's so bold, you dare to snatch my beloved horse!" I will hunt him down myself, and I will surely skin him and cramp him when he is captured. ”

The voice was inexhaustible, Yao Chengrui had disappeared without a trace, and a voice came, as if it sounded in the ears of several people at the same time: "Wait for you to act according to your orders!" ”

******

Bai Shan and his party stopped abruptly in the palace, avoiding several rushing Praetorian guards along the way. The Praetorian Guards seemed to be rushing in the same direction, and they hurried away, but their steps were still orderly and unhurried.

The fire guards knew that what they were worried about had happened, and they were even more cautious. When he escaped from the chase and came to Suning Gate before, there was already a wolf trail inside and outside the palace gate, and there were many people lying on the ground, some of them were motionless, and some were still screaming in pain, as if they had just experienced a fierce battle. The enemy must have entered the palace from this gate. It was precisely because someone had done it in advance that they had to enter the palace easily.

Everyone sneaked to the Sun Palace. The Sun Hall is the place where Ou Qingwan was imprisoned, and it is also the East Palace Prince Hall of the former prince Yao Ruilin. Yao Ruilin was abolished, and the Sun Palace was abandoned, and the other princes thought that this palace was unlucky, of course, they did not have the intention of possessing it, and the Sun Palace became a cage that imprisoned the princess for 16 years.

was about to see his mother, and Bai Shan couldn't hide his excitement. The closer he got to the Sun Palace, the more nervous he became, and he had repeatedly imagined what it would be like to see his mother. is really going to meet, but he is suffering from gains and losses in his heart, for fear that something will go wrong. As if sensing Bai Shan's uneasiness, Ou Keren glanced at the young master, and then gently shook his hand.

All the fire guards crouched outside the Sun Palace, and their eyes fell on the Sun Hall in the distance. Although the Hall of the Sun is hidden in the darkness, with the faint starlight of the night sky, everyone can still feel its majesty and pride through the towering silhouette of the Hall of the Sun, a majestic building that seems to remind everyone of its once extraordinary status.

At this time, the temple was quiet, and there seemed to be no one. Of course, they didn't believe that there were no guards here, it must be hidden in the shadows, and everyone was even more calm, not daring to make a sound. The hidden red smoke gave Bai Shan a slightly calm look, and he remained still, and everyone remained motionless and waited patiently.

Time passed, and Baishan was a little impatient. "Goo! Mutter! Two cries like night owls came, Liu Yanqing was overjoyed, and said in a low voice: "This is a signal to answer the companion, which means "everything is normal", we can enter the hall!" ”

The fire guards all looked at the white mountain with burning eyes, waiting for his orders.

Bai Shan looked around at everyone, and saw that his eyes were full of excitement, including the hidden red smoke, he suppressed the blood surging in his body, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go into the temple immediately to save people!" And the people came out of their places and swept towards the palace.

At this time, a "bang" sounded. Everyone clearly felt that the sound was coming from the hall, followed by the clashing of blades, muffled grunts, and angry shouts. Everyone looked at each other, could it be that someone broke into the Sun Hall before them?

Then there was the sound of a dense rush, and then a little candle flame came out of the temple. A rough shout: "Who is bold and dares to break into the Sun Hall at night!" ”

Hearing this voice, everyone knew that the guess was correct, someone took the lead, who would it be? Bai Shan was anxious, worried that his mother was in danger. He whispered, "Let's rush in!" The fire guards were also anxious about the princess's safety, and they jumped up one after another, and the closer they got to the palace, the louder the fighting sounded. When the people arrived at the temple, they felt a depressing atmosphere. They restrained their breath and pricked up their ears to listen, and from the sound they could tell that the two sides of the fight were gradually moving away, that is, towards the depths of the palace.

As soon as a few people entered the hall, they found a few traces of fighting, and there were still a few people lying on the ground, looking at the outfits of the injured people, they were guards.

The crowd followed the sound of the fighting, passed through several corridors, and entered the inner sanctum. At this moment, several cold rays shot out from the darkness. Everyone had been prepared, and it would be really strange if the road was smooth and dangerous. They didn't panic at all, and ducked down to avoid the bolts. The hidden enemy had already pounced on him without a sound, and the fire guards were also silent, and the sword in his hand spun out, already wringing together with the blade of the sneak attacker.

There are only nine people on the other side. Dressed in white and covering his face with a white scarf, Hoemon could still see a hint of surprise in the other party's eyes, as if he was puzzled by the identity of the people who suddenly appeared. Neither side made a sound, and the blades in their hands were soaring, and they both wanted to fight quickly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "Liu Yanqing, the leader of the fire guard, quickly fought with the person in front of him like a lightning flash, and felt that the opponent's strength was not below him. He knew that he couldn't easily take down the enemy, so he immediately said to the hidden red smoke: "Please ask the hidden boss and the young master to find the princess, these people are handed over to us." ”

Before the words fell, he and a group of fire guards burst out of the sky with swords, covering the nine enemies in front of them, their tactics were mainly entangled, not letting the other party get out to intercept the hidden boss and young master. The hidden red smoke immediately forced the enemy in front of him, and Bai Shan and Keren had been reminded by him, and the three of them shot towards the inner hall. All the fire guards fought hard, and with six enemies and nine enemies, the battle was difficult to solve.

The three of Baishan did not encounter any more obstacles, and came to a red wooden door, behind which should be the princess's bedroom. Bai Shan's eyes flashed with excitement, the hidden red smoke suddenly stopped and lowered his body, Bai Shan saw the expression of the hidden red smoke, and was busy holding his breath, and heard a few faint collision sounds. Bai Shan's face changed, his heart was very anxious, he couldn't wait, he slammed open the thick wooden door, and the red smoke immediately made a decision, first flashed in through the door, followed by the Ou Keren, and Bai Shan was the last to enter.

There were five people who seemed to have just fought each other, and they were facing each other in the inner hall with little space at this time. Two of them were masked white-clothed people, and the three people opposite them were all purple-clad and purple-crowned, all dressed in purple suits. The hidden red smoke said to Bai Shan: "These three purple-clothed people are the emperor's personal guards, Zilongwei!" ”

The five glanced at the three who had broken in, and their eyes returned to their opponents for a moment. The three of them didn't know who to help for a while, but they saw a crack open in the inner door, revealing a woman dressed in palace clothes and pulling the concubine's hairstyle. She had been hiding in the shadows, and only when she saw the three of them appear. Her face was pale, without any blood, and it was still difficult to hide her beautiful and dignified appearance, and her age seemed to be thirty years old.

The expressions of the hidden red smoke and the Ou Keren immediately became excited, and they swept towards the woman suddenly. When Bai Shan saw the woman, his head "boomed", as if he had lost all consciousness, his mind was blank, and he stood still.

Of course, this woman is Bai Shan's mother, Ou Qingwan!

When the three purple-clothed men appeared, they immediately separated one of them and swept away, just in time to intercept the hidden red smoke. As soon as he launched his whole body, several people in the confrontation moved at the same time, and the entire hall immediately stirred with divine yuan. Bai Shan suddenly found himself in a quagmire, moving pan force. He looked at the six people who were fighting in shock, could it be that these people were all in the late stage of moving?

The hidden red smoke resisted the coercion for the Ou Ke people, and she took the opportunity to sweep to Ou Qingwan's side. Ou Qingwan looked at Ou Keren suspiciously, feeling that she was somewhat familiar. Ou Keren was already in tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Princess, I am a lovely person!" ”

A flush flashed on Ou Qingwan's pale face, and she said in surprise: "You are a lovely person, you have grown so big." "The Ou Ke people are full of rain, and they are already crying out of human shape. After a while, as if he realized his gaffe, Ou Keren hurriedly collected his emotions and said to Ou Qingwan: "Princess, who do you think he is?" ”

Ou Qingwan had time to look at Bai Shan, and her mind was shocked when she just glanced at her, her apricot eyes were round and staring at Bai Shan without blinking, and her eyes were red. Her pale face was flushed, her lips trembled uncontrollably, her mouth opened wide, her chest rose and fell, and she was panting hard, already excited.

Bai Shan also trembled, tears slid down his cheeks, and the affection of his family surged like a tide, hitting every part of his body, making him feel a spasmodic sense of powerlessness.

The two looked at each other, tears surging wildly, and each other's appearance became blurred in their eyes......
