C3996 Night Raid on the Palace
C3996 Night Raid on the Palace
The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise were the last forces guarding the capital. They were under the direct command of the Emperor. The Ministry of War, the Cabinet, and the General's Estate were unable to command them.
In the years since the establishment of the dynasty, the Four Guards had left the capital, usually only one, or at most two, and at least half of them had been left behind to keep the capital safe.
Then, there were two possibilities. One was that the emperor had left Jing City, so the guards had to follow him. The other was that something important had happened outside, and the guards had to do it. In that case, Jing City would be very empty, with only the power of the First Guard. If something happened...
Dongfang Qingyu became excited for some reason. With the defensive power of Azure Dragon City, he had control of law and order and the city gates, which was enough to pose a threat to the capital. If he had set up a large number of troops in advance and worked together from the inside and outside, there was still hope of taking down the capital. Right now, the biggest problem was how to deal with the Emperor, who was a big boss.
He returned to the Black Tortoise City and convened a meeting of the experts of the Alliance to discuss the feasibility of this plan. After two hours of discussion, they concluded that the time was not ripe. They all agreed to release the news. There were many ambitious forces, and Open Sesame and Polar Bear had always wanted to replace the court. Many orders from Ten Thousand Lanterns had passed through the imperial court.
After the meeting ended, Dongfang Qingyu was still thinking about it when an unexpected person asked to see him. It was the sixth treasure of the study, one of the four great Vajra of Blue And White Porcelain, Jingdezhen Blue Flower's right-hand man.
"Our boss got a message and asked me to come," the sixth treasure said.
"What news?" Seeing how mysterious the sixth treasure of the study room was, Dongfang Qingyu knew that the news was not simple.
"The White Tiger Guard, the Black Tortoise Guard, and the Vermillion Bird Guard left Jing City and went to Fengdu." The sixth treasure of the study said.
"What?" Dongfang Qingyu was half shocked and half pretending.
"Our Sect Master was also very shocked when he received this news." The sixth treasure said.
"Why did you go to Fengdu? When did you go?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"I don't know, I can't find out. Our Sect Master only sent us a message to investigate when he found out that Third Guard had appeared in Fengdu. There's still no news from him yet." The sixth treasure said.
"Three of the four guards have left at once. What about the safety of Jing City? Who will protect the capital?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"I don't know about that. The boss only asked me to bring a message, and now that the message has arrived, I have to go back and report." The sixth treasure said goodbye and left. He didn't even have time to drink his tea.
"Why did Jingdezhen Blue Flower suddenly become so kind?" Toad Princess walked out from the inner room. Because she wasn't a member of the Black Tortoise City Group, there were some things that weren't suitable for her to participate in. When the sixth treasure of the study came in, she hid behind it in advance.
"He might not be kind." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"I know Jingdezhen Blue Flower. He has a lot of thoughts, likes to scheme against people, and is never willing to lose out." Toad Princess said.
"If I'm not wrong, his information was not only leaked to me, but also to others." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"I understand, this is borrowing a knife to kill someone." Toad Princess said.
"Jingdezhen Blue Flower's methods are not brilliant, but some people can't help it." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"Why?" Toad Princess was puzzled: "You know it's a conspiracy!"
"I have to confirm whether it's true or not, and it can even defeat me." Dongfang Qingyu said.
Toad Princess had a puzzled expression.
"I am now in charge of the security affairs of 'Green Dragon City'. If someone breaks into the palace, what do you think the Emperor will do to me?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"Then what should we do?" Toad Princess's expression changed.
"It might not be a bad thing." Dongfang Qingyu was not in a hurry, "At most, I will take responsibility, or rather, leadership responsibility. The main responsibility is Nine Gate Inspector He Qishu."
"But -" Toad Princess was very worried.
"It might be very lively tonight. Don't sleep, accompany me to watch the fun." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"I'll go make something delicious first." Toad Princess looked at the time. There was still some time before dark.
"Princess is the best." Dongfang Qingyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva. The food made by Toad Princess would never be enough.
...
The Spring Festival was over, but the temperature was still cold. The temperature at night was especially low, and the wind and rain were slanting. Dongfang Qingyu's physique was strong and fearless, but Toad Princess had no choice but to add a mink coat.
"It's already dark." Toad Princess subconsciously looked up at the sky. In fact, even if she didn't look, she knew that it was already dark. Magic lamps had already been lit on the streets of Azure Dragon City.
"The boneless chicken claws you made are really delicious." Dongfang Qingyu said.
Toad Princess said, "The seasoning is more critical, and the other thing is to choose good chicken claws. The veins of the Snow Mountain Feathered Chicken are the most tender and crisp." Toad Princess said.
"I didn't eat this before." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"If Brother Blue Fish likes it, I'll make it for you every day from now on." Toad Princess was very happy.
"It's here!" Dongfang Qingyu said softly, and Toad Princess immediately sat up straight. The two of them were in the room, and the window was covered with a black veil.
There were suddenly many men in black in the street, with umbrellas over their heads, and it was impossible to see their faces, but the way they walked and the direction in which they walked showed that they were not normal people. Because of the rain, there were very few patrols at night.
"Stop, what are you doing?" The Warrior guarding the gate shouted. Before he could finish his sentence, the man in black threw down his umbrella and took out his crossbow arrow. He fired it at the Warrior. He didn't know what kind of crossbow he used, but its power was terrifying. In an instant, four Warriors were riddled with holes. The four at the back were injured. The four at the back rushed out from behind the cover. Blade lights filled the sky.
The level of the palace gate was relatively high, with a total of twelve Warriors guarding it. Screams of pain pierced through the black clothes as the sound of footsteps could be heard from behind the city gate. Following that, a dense number of archers appeared on the city gate and shot down.
The man in black was prepared. He picked up the umbrella and easily took the arrows. It turned out that the umbrella was also an important tool. The two sides started a fierce fight.
It was a major event to break into the palace. The city guards who had received the news quickly gathered to support the city gates, but before they could get close, they were ambushed by an unknown force. Dozens of grenades landed on the ground and exploded, killing dozens of people. The streets near the palace were disturbed, many shops were confused, passers-by were frightened into hiding, and there was a terrible explosion at the gates of the palace. The battle was escalating.
