The trail Lin Han mentioned was winding and winding, and the dense jungle that stretched along the road almost blocked the sky above. It was indeed extremely secretive.

Several soldiers from the Shenrui Battalion opened the way in front, waving their swords to split open the branches and weeds that were almost covering the path. The remaining approximately 30,000 soldiers from the Shenrui Battalion and 20,000 black-armored troops protected Qingyun and others. , a group of people walked carefully on the path.

There were no dangers along the way, and after almost three hours, everyone finally crossed this path and arrived at the west gate of the capital, which was slightly less well-defended in comparison.

Looking up at the high city wall, people could be vaguely seen moving on the wall. There was a faint noise in her ears. Qingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious that they had avoided the patrol garrison in Xinxiang Township and quietly arrived outside the capital city wall.

Qingyun immediately ordered everyone in a low voice to hide their whereabouts and rest in place, waiting until dark before sneaking into the capital in batches and entering the palace through the two secret passages without anyone knowing.

At the same time, Lou Haiyang led thousands of purple-clad guards into the three counties to try to attract the attention of the rebels, so that Yi Yongbo and the 50,000 Xiaowei battalion could march towards the capital through the trail in Xiangyang County, while Tian Yue He led another 50,000 Xiaowei battalion into the capital through the trails of Anhe County, and then hid in and around the capital.

As for the other armies, they secretly formed a siege around the capital and the three counties, and immediately launched an offensive as soon as the signal came out. Together with Qingyun and others, as well as the troops entering and outside the capital, they should work together to annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop.

Night falls quietly, and the few candlelights swaying in the wind on the city wall reflect the cold moonlight.

There was faint discussion from the soldiers on duty on the city wall.

"Li Xiaowei, there are rumors outside that Prince Chun is seeking to usurp the throne. Is this true?" a voice said cautiously.

"My subordinates have also heard that King Rui, Taifu Han and other ministers were imprisoned in the sky prison because they accused King Chun of falsehood in the edict on his succession to the throne. It is obvious that King Chun has a guilty conscience." Another deep voice said.

"Not only King Chun, I heard that Taiwei Lin not only poisoned the late emperor, but also set fire to the late emperor in the Mingde Palace in order to seize the country..."

"Some people say that Taiwei Lin colluded with Wei Li and borrowed 100,000 elite soldiers from the five cities to the west to deal with the Ninth Princess. I don't know if this is true?"

"You are wrong!" A hoarse voice retorted: "It was not Lieutenant Lin, but the imperial concubine who colluded with Prince Mohanji of Li Kingdom in order to deal with the Ninth Princess, and even gave Princess Yongle to Mohanji as a concubine."

The man before said in surprise: "Princess Yongle is the biological daughter of the imperial concubine, and she is also the princess of our country. How could the imperial concubine have the heart to give Princess Yongle to Mohanji as a concubine?"

"Who knows what the noble concubine is thinking?" The hoarse voice was full of contempt.

"It is so pitiful that a kind-hearted person like Princess Yongle was given away as a concubine by her biological mother not long after her consort died."

"It would be great if the Ninth Princess was here." A rough voice suddenly sighed: "When Gong Yuanhao conspired to rebel, it was the Ninth Princess who strategized and quickly quelled the civil strife at the minimum cost. If the Ninth Princess was here, maybe first The emperor would not have died suddenly, Princess Yongle would not have been given away as a concubine, and the situation would not have been so serious."

"Yes, the Ninth Princess is wise and kind and loves the people like a child. She will definitely not allow those people to cause trouble to harm the country and bring trouble to the people!"

Several voices agreed in unison.

"It's a pity that the Ninth Princess is a woman and not of true royal blood. Otherwise, I, Wang Wu, would be the first to support the Ninth Princess's ascension to the throne!" someone sighed.

"What about the woman? So what if she is not of royal blood?" The rough voice said angrily: "Not to mention that the Ninth Princess has been doing her best to benefit the country and the people for so many years. In the past two years, the plague in Nanyang County has affected the north.

Crisis, Gong Yuanhao's rebellion, the destruction of Juechen Palace, how many corrupt officials were executed...aren't all of these, one by one, all the work of the Ninth Princess?

What's more, the late emperor doted on the ninth princess so much that he not only took the ninth princess to inspect the borders and the people every year, but also allowed the ninth princess to participate in government affairs. Maybe the late emperor really intended to pass the throne to the ninth princess.

If the Ninth Princess succeeds to the throne, I believe that the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe. And the Ninth Princess's mental and strategic thinking is beyond the reach of many men in the world. She also has close friendship with the kings of Chu, Liang and Zhou. I believe that no country would dare to take it easy.

Invading our country."

"That's true." Wang Wu agreed.

"I, Zhang Ling, am a rough man and don't understand those big principles. As long as anyone sincerely benefits the people, I, Zhang Ling, will support whoever becomes the emperor, regardless of whether the emperor is a man or a woman, or whether he is of royal blood!" A rough voice, that is,

Zhang Ling fearlessly said.

After Zhang Ling finished speaking, there was a sudden silence on the city wall.

"Okay!" A slightly cold voice suddenly broke the quiet atmosphere: "As a soldier, you should obey orders. How can you discuss these things?"

"Colonel Li..."

Zhang Ling wanted to say something, but Captain Li stopped him in time: "No matter what your thoughts are, you must save your life first, otherwise everything will be empty talk!"

"My subordinate understands!"

After hearing the conversation on the tower clearly, Qingyun's eyes flashed with a secretive edge, and she glanced sideways at Mo Xuan.

Mo Xuan, who understood what he understood, immediately jumped onto the high city wall, moving his body ghostly while waving his hands together. After bursts of faint white smoke, the soldiers on duty all fainted to the ground before they could react. Then he jumped down from the city wall and opened the city gate.

, Qingyun and his party then entered the capital quietly.

Li Feixue and Sima Qi were ordered to take a small half of the army and sneak into the palace through the secret passage dug by Zhi Lan. Qing Yun led the remaining people to avoid the patrolling soldiers and quickly and quietly rushed to the entrance to Luoxia Palace.

The exit of that secret passage.

When the comatose soldiers on duty regained consciousness, the peace inside and outside the city wall had returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened. Those soldiers did not notice anything strange and naturally did not think much about it.

Along the way, the streets are usually the busiest at night. Now there is no pedestrian at all. The doors of every house are closed. Occasionally, one or two lonely lights can be seen flickering. The gentle night breeze is vaguely mixed with a fishy smell.

The whole capital seemed particularly bleak and eerie.

Tightening the cloak around her body, Qingyun frowned with coldness, and her deep eyes flashed with self-blame and regret, as well as a trace of fierce murderous intent.

When he noticed that Qingyun's whole body was filled with a bone-crushing coldness, Mo Xuan's heart froze, and he stretched out his hand to hold her tightly holding hand, silently giving her strong support.

The warm feeling from the palm of his hand gradually relaxed Qingyun's tense nerves. He held Mo Xuan's hand in his back and walked side by side with it.

"You're finally back!"
