"What are you going to do?" Su Yinqiu objected in a deep voice, "You are a girl. At times like this, just stay at home and don't go out to make trouble."

Su Qingyao knew that his father was doing it for his own good, so he didn't care about his tone and only said:

"Father, don't underestimate your daughter. Although I don't know martial arts, I am very strong. Moreover," he patted the medical box and raised his heavy sleeve bag, "I have a lot of good things here, some of which can save people.

There are also things that can make people lose their ability to resist instantly.”

Looking at the men in the family, Su Qingyao said seriously: "Rescuing the driver is important, but the safety of our family is also important. With my grandfather, father, uncles and brothers here, and so many good men, I won't

Danger.

"On the contrary, taking me with you can minimize the casualties in our family at critical moments.

"After all, I am also an official of the court, and I can be a female official. Why do you have to stay at home because I am a woman?"

Su Qingyao's words were clear and logical, leaving Su Yinqiu speechless.

Mr. Su laughed loudly: "Okay, she is indeed my granddaughter. She is capable and courageous. She is very good."

When Su Xingqian saw the old man relenting, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Old man, don't worry, foster father, I will follow Qingyao to protect her."

The last time Su Xingqian got sick, she fought against Su Wanqiu, but despite her strength, Su Wanqiu was still defeated. Su Wanqiu was a cheerful girl, and when asked, she did not hide the fact that she could not beat Su Xingqian.

Therefore, the old man, the old lady and the family all knew that Su Xingqian was capable.

Su Yinqiu looked at Su Qingyao, then at Su Xingqian, and then nodded helplessly.

"That's all, it's up to you, but you have to follow us closely and don't get separated. There is a chaos on the street outside and there must be a lot of people. If someone takes advantage of the chaos to do you harm, I'm afraid I won't be able to save you in time."

Su Qingyao smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, my daughter at least has the ability to protect herself."

With that said, he opened the box of golden needles from Doctor Chu, took out the needle bag and prepared it.

Mr. Su turned around and raised his eyebrows at his old wife with a smile. Although she was very old, she still looked like she was as energetic as she was when she was young.

"Just take the children at home and wait for our return with peace of mind."

The old lady's hands clenched tightly into fists, but there was a calm smile on her face, "I understand. If I come back late, I won't wait for you to eat."

"Haha, don't wait for us, let the kitchen cook it freshly." The old man held a long gun, turned around and went out.

The men of the Su family also armed themselves with weapons, and together with the servants and guards, they rushed out with high spirits.

Su Qingyao and Su Xingqian were walking at the end of the team. As they were leaving the house, Su Qingyao saw the old lady standing in the corridor with her back straight, like a solemn statue.

She was a little amazed in her heart.

Grandma did not panic at this time, hiding her worries and reluctance in her heart, but she became the anchor of the Su family. As long as grandma could calm down, the girls in the Su family would not panic.

If you are so calm and calm in times of crisis, your family will surely be able to survive.

The family left from the side door of Su's house, and the closer they got to the main street, the louder the noise became. Some were cursing, some were shouting, and there were also women and children crying.

Listening to this voice, the old man frowned with anger and his eyes turned red.

"Come on, let's go to the palace gate first. If you encounter anyone who is doing nothing on the way, just break your legs for me!"

"yes."

Following the old man's instructions, the Su family rushed to the palace while acting bravely.

Beside Su Qingyao, Third Sister Yang and Zou Qing also appeared, following closely behind the Su family's team. Su Xingqian turned back and glanced at the two of them, feeling more confident about Su Qingyao's safety.

Turning around a street, Su Yinqiu suddenly pointed forward in confusion: "Father, do you see the family of Mr. Sun, the former Minister of Civil Affairs, in front of you?"

Mr. Su squinted his eyes, nodded and said, "That's right, Old Sun!"

The old man pulled his neck and shouted.

The Sun family members at the intersection all looked back.

The former Minister of Civil Affairs, Sun Ruxin, was nearly seventy years old, but his health was still strong. After taking office, he only raised flowers and birds at home. His two sons are now officials in the court, and the whole family is very low-key.

Seeing the old man, Sun Ruxin hurriedly took his descendants and handed them over: "Old General, what are you doing?"

"Hey, what's your name, General? I'm already a useless old man," Mr. Su walked up to Sun Ruxin and pointed at the men behind him, "Old Sun, what are you doing?"

"The imperial city is in emergency. I am really worried at home, so I took my children and servants with me to help. Are you there, old general?"

"Hahaha! It is indeed our old brothers. Thinking of going together, my sons and daughters can't sit still. They all want to guard the palace gate so that the rebellious officials and traitors cannot succeed."

Sun Ruxin and the men of the Sun family also laughed, "Since our two families have the same goal, why don't we simply merge together so that we can take care of each other?"

"So good."

Mr. Su and Mr. Sun, who was in his seventies, walked at the front, followed closely by the men of the Su family and the Sun family.

Su Qingyao walked at the end of the team, because she was the only woman who attracted some attention from the Sun family. However, none of the Sun family members were like Meng Lang, and they all turned away after just one glance.

The place where the Su family is located is a gathering place for wealthy families. When I walked out of the neighborhood, in addition to the Sun family, I met three more families, all of whom were preparing to go to King Qin.

This was the first time that Su Qingyao felt the old man's personality charm so intuitively.

Whenever you meet anyone, you should call him "Old General" or "Old Marquis". You will respect and admire him from the bottom of your heart.

The five families joined forces together, with the men and servants as guards, nearly 200 people. Standing on the street began to have a large scale.

The old men or masters from all the families unanimously recommended:

"In his early years, General Su was invincible when he led his troops in battles. Now that the country is in catastrophe, most of us are civil servants and nobles. We have not been on the battlefield for many years. We are not as experienced as the old general who has been on the battlefield for many years."

"Yes, the old general gave the order, and I will follow. Otherwise, all the blood will be spilled and it will be useless.

"Let's ask the old general to speak. Among the eight palace gates, where should we guard?"

Mr. Su pondered for a moment, then smacked his lips: "That's all, I'm just going to show off my old skills for once. Since everyone trusts me, I'll come up with an idea."

"Please tell me."

The old man thought for a while and said: "According to the topography of the capital, the south gate and the southeast corner gate should be the weakest at this time.

"The rebels must also know that this place is weak, so they all attacked here."

"Then we will go to these two places?"

Mr. Su shook his head and said: "Let's bypass these two places and go to the southwest gate first. If we can open the palace gate, we can successfully enter the palace city and help the defenders guard the gate."

Sun Ruxin nodded and said: "The old general said yes. If we go to conflict with the Gyeonggi Guards and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who are rushing towards the door, we may just hit the stone with eggs. It is better to help guard the door, and the effect will be greater."

Everyone nodded and praised Mrs. Su for using the method well.

The five families went straight to the southwest palace gate.

Su Qingyao followed the team without saying a word.

The emperor is not a wise king, especially because his obsession with immortality has killed many people. But even this kind of king has loyal ministers to assist him.

Since ancient times, warriors fought and civil servants died, and these courtiers may have secretly played games with the emperor in the court.

But when it comes to life and death, there are those who stay behind closed doors and wait for the changes in the situation to protect themselves, and there are also those who are as passionate and loyal as these five families.

Su Qingyao couldn't say which approach was better. Nor could he use his own understanding of the emperor to ask others to have the same evaluation of the emperor.

But I have to say that she was shocked by these people.

She suddenly felt that what she knew and learned in her previous life was only limited to the confines of a deep boudoir. She only knew her own hatred. Her vision was too narrow.

There were many feelings, such as sacrificing one's life to serve the country, such as being loyal to the emperor and loving the people, which she only realized at this time. Before being touched, all the definitions of these in her heart were just empty words.

A group of people rushed to the southwest gate. They deliberately took a detour and did not face the people from the Five Cities Military Command and the Gyeonggi Guard. They only saved many people and shops that were invaded along the way. There were no casualties among these people.

.

"Father!" At this time, Su Muqiu, who had been sent as a scout, ran back with a stern expression, "Prince Jing, as you expected, led his men to attack the south gate."

There is an open area in front of the door, making it easy for people to move around.

Su Muqiu took a breath and poured out beans again: "Prince Zong led people to persuade Prince Jing, but he was killed on the spot by Prince Jing's men! The fifth prince, seventh prince, and eighth prince who had already left the palace to build a mansion

, at this time, they all brought the guards of the Prince's Mansion and fought head-on with Prince Jing's people at the south gate, and the battle situation was not optimistic."

The old man gritted his teeth: "Prince Zong... he is such a good prince of Jingjun County, what a villain!"

"Without further delay, let's quickly find a way to enter the palace."

A group of people hurried to the southwest gate. From a distance, they saw that the palace door was tightly closed, and on the palace wall there were guards in royal robes and guards stretching their necks to look out.

Xu Shi became nervous when he saw the huge crowd of more than 200 people. The other party formed a battle array at the top of the wall, holding a crossbow and aiming at the five families.

The old man immediately waved his hand: "Everyone stop!"

Then he said loudly: "I am the old Marquis of Zhenyuan. When the Holy Emperor is in danger, I, together with the four heads of the Sun, Gu, Song, and Lin families, led the clan's son-in-law and the palace nurse to come to serve the king!"

On the city wall, the imperial guards, the middle officials and the guards guarding the gate looked at each other.

The distance was too far and there were too many people coming, so I couldn't see everyone's face clearly, but the leaders, Mr. Su, Mr. Sun, Mr. Gu, and the officials in the Song and Lin families, could see clearly.

"Zheng Qianshi, what should we do?" Both the defenders and the lieutenant officers looked at Zheng Qianshi from the Jinyi Guards.

The people who came are genuine, but who can guarantee that the people from these five families are loyal to the emperor? Who can guarantee that they are not sent by Prince Jing to sneak into the palace?

Zheng Qianshi did not dare to take risks and make his own decisions.

"Old Marquis, it is polite to humble oneself. I have sent someone back to report to the Emperor. Please wait a moment."

Zheng Qianshi held his hands in the distance, then turned and left.

Su Yinqiu said: "The defenders and Jin Yiwei are acting cautiously. This is a good thing."

"Exactly." Old man Sun Ruxin also said, "If you see familiar faces like us, just open the door and let them in, then the old man will be worried."

"We will be stationed outside to prevent Prince Jing's people from attacking from here."

“Very good.”

Everyone agreed one after another and formed a formation outside the city gate. The young, strong and outstanding martial artists were all on the outside.

Su Qingyao carried the medical box and was sent to a location near the palace gate.

Only then did the heads of the other four families see that there was a girl in the team.

"Come on, Yuanyuan, I have met your Grandpa Sun, Grandpa Gu, Uncle Song and Uncle Lin." Mr. Su said with a smile.

Su Qingyao immediately saluted and greeted him.

Su Qingyao is the only female official in this dynasty, and she holds a special position in the Medical Research Institute. Heads of every family and all the adults who come to court see her.

It's just that she never had a chance to talk before, and since she is a woman, she never took the initiative to make friends with her.

Now that Mrs. Su is present, everyone happens to know each other.

The ancient master said: "This girl is young and shouldn't take risks here."

"My granddaughter is as stubborn as I was when I was young. When she heard that the emperor was in trouble, she immediately followed her. She said that she was a doctor and that if there was an accident, she could also play a role in reducing our casualties." The old man smiled heartily.

, implying showing off.

"What a young and talented person."

"Yes, General Su taught his children well and his family tradition is upright."

Several people praised it.

Su Qingyao smiled and retreated to stand behind Su Yinqiu.

At this time, Zheng Qianshi appeared on the city wall: "Everyone, the palace door cannot be opened and closed easily. Please forgive me."

This means that the emperor dared not open the door and let them in.

It was Su Qingyao who lowered his eyes and hid the sneer in his heart. For such a person who is looking forward to immortality, he is afraid of death to a certain extent. In order to live, he can sacrifice other people. As long as he does not die himself, it doesn't matter how many others die.

.

Not opening the door at this time is excusable, but it will really chill the loyal ministers, right?

The old man nodded thoughtfully: "I can understand..."

Su Qingyao raised his head and said to Zheng Qianshi, "Zheng Qianshi."

As soon as he heard a familiar female voice under the palace wall, Zheng Qianshi immediately poked his head out, saw Su Qingyao carrying a medical box on his back, and said in surprise: "Envoy Su?"

"Zheng Qianshi, I came to King Qin with my grandfather, father, uncle and brothers and their servants. On the way, I met four families who also came with their men to escort them.

"Now the rebels are attacking the south gate. After all, the manpower in the palace is limited. The three major battalions and the fifth military camp are far away and cannot save the fire nearby. We are willing to enter the palace to protect you and live and die with the emperor."

After Su Qingyao said something, the other four family members also spoke out one after another.

Zheng Qian was in a dilemma. His loyal ministers came to Qinwang, and if they were not let in, it would really chill the hearts of the ministers. But if they were let in privately, if something happened and the emperor blamed him, it would be difficult for him to explain.

Zheng Qianshi had no choice but to go to Qinzheng Hall to meet the emperor in person.

Emperor Qianfeng pondered for a moment, then carefully asked who was coming and what they had brought, and then reluctantly agreed.

"Everyone, your Majesty, please come in quickly."

The palace gate opened big enough for one person to pass through. After more than 200 people entered, they were divided into two teams by the royal guards, one team for the masters of each family, and one team for the guards and guards of each family.

Zheng Qian ordered these people to rush to the south gate immediately to help guard the palace gate. As for the masters of each family, they were all brought into Qinzheng Hall according to the emperor's order.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Everyone knelt down and saluted in the spacious courtyard of Qinzheng Hall.
