Empress’ Conquest - C273 There's been some activity in the capital
“Go back to the Emperor! There was movement in the capital! The reason why they are expanding the height and width of the city’s towers should be so that they can accommodate more soldiers. Furthermore, they are setting up a checkpoint five hundred miles away from the capital. Zheng Kui frowned!
“Humph!” He is bullying my lack of people! Since he had made his move, General Zheng, he ordered the three thousand soldiers who had been training for a long time to be ready and on standby! I need to catch Li Ao Yu off guard! ” The iciness in his eyes was cold!
“Yes sir!” Zheng Kui accepted the order and turned around to leave. Yin Yuerong couldn’t help getting up …
“Your Majesty! Do you mean to say that those soldiers who carried giant kites would be caught unprepared when they threw them into the sky at a place five hundred kilometers away from Li Ao Yu’s capital? ” Yin Yuerong had secretly heard from Xia Hou Mingxuan that the recent “flying riders” were well-organized, and believed that they would play a key role in the battle!
“That’s right!” This battle will start sooner or later. Since we already have a full set of battle plans, we can’t give Li Ao Yu any more chances to prepare! Furthermore, once the battle begins, we have to end it quickly. We cannot allow Li Ao Yu to use his Dao on us! I have calculated that it would take at least half a month to produce a large number of kites, and since the raw materials in the capital are limited, even if Li Ao Yu wanted to imitate them, he would need at least twenty days. Although Leng Ao Tian did not have complete confidence in winning, rather than just sitting there and waiting for death, he might as well take the initiative!
“En, that is reasonable. Your Majesty, rest assured, on the day of the decisive battle, South Yue will send another hundred thousand soldiers to aid in the rebellion of Great Shu. I have already reported this to the king of Yue. If the South Vietnam Army is fully prepared, then we will set out on our journey!” However, at this moment, he was still worried about Xu Bixuan’s safety. She hadn’t returned home for a day, could it be that something had happened?
In just a day and a night, Du Sanniang and the others had arrived at the capital with Xu Bixuan. This was a day earlier than Xu Bixuan had expected!
“Xueyu, we have arrived at the capital, and the four of us still have things to take care of. Please do as you please!” Du Sanniang’s cherry lips slightly parted. They had come to the capital to cause trouble. If others were to see that this woman was with her, it would definitely be detrimental to her!
“If you’re fine, you can just follow us!” On horseback, Ling Jun looked at Xu Bixuan with extreme reluctance. Hearing this, Lian Ling could not help but laugh!
“Naturally, there’s something I need to do when I get to the capital!” Ling Jun, even in your dreams, you have to have a limit! ”
“Xue Yuan hasn’t spoken yet! Why are you interrupting! ” Ling Jun glared viciously at Lian Ling, and as he turned his head, the light in his eyes became softer! No need, Xue Yuan thanked Third Mother for her help. Otherwise, she would have been in big trouble! This kindness, Xue Yuan will definitely repay it in the future! Four of you! “Farewell!” Xu Bixuan jumped down from her horse, clenched her fists towards Du Sanniang and the others, and turned to leave, but she seemed to have thought of something.
“Sanniang …” As far as I know… The Mysterious God Sword, Xuan Xiao, has already returned to Jade Peak Mountain and will not leave for at least half a year … ” Xu Bixuan smiled and turned away from Du Sanniang and the others, disappearing into the crowd!
“Sanniang, how did she know Xuan Xiao’s whereabouts?” Lian Ling looked at Xu Bi Xuan’s back in surprise, and asked suspiciously!
“I guess I got lucky …” His heart abruptly tightened, and he let out a profound cry … Heh … Even if she knew where he lived, she wouldn’t go back. If she was going to be accepted by him, it would be impossible for her to do so unless the mischievous stone nodded … Forget it, let’s do something serious first!
“Let’s find an inn to stay first. We’ll head to the Imperial Palace Conference first to meet that Li Ao Yu! Even if it’s the Sky Emperor himself, he better not think about touching the people we protect! ” Du Sanniang’s eyes were as cold as ice!
After leaving Du Sanniang and the others, Xu Bixuan bought a bamboo hat from the market and walked into the inn. There was still one more day until the three day deadline, even though Li Ao Yu had Senior Servant Feng’s hairpin, Xu Bi Xuan still wanted to inquire about the situation in the palace and whether Senior Servant Feng and Little An were really in Li Ao Yu’s hands!
Just as they entered the inn, Xu Bixuan saw a familiar figure! Her heart could not help but feel a trace of surprise!
“Sir, the Four Seasons Garden is here!” Seeing that person raise the bowl and was about to put it in his mouth, Xu Bixuan walked over to him.
“Long time no see …” Xu Bixuan lowered her voice and said indifferently. Her jade-like hands could not help but lift up the half of the curtain on her face!
“Cough, cough, cough …” “Cough …” Seeing that it was Xu Bixuan, that person choked on the noodles in her mouth and coughed twice before swallowing it. Then, he took out some silver taels and knocked on the table twice before standing up and pulling Xu Bixuan away!
Without a word, that person turned left and right with Xu Bixuan and walked into a house! Xu Bixuan remembered that this was Jian Chen’s compound!
After entering the house, that person abruptly shut the door tightly and brought Xu Bixuan into the front hall …
“This old servant pays his respects to the esteemed empress …” The shrill voice was mixed with a bit of sobs. Seeing that person crawling on the ground, Xu Bixuan quickly helped him up!
“Eunuch Li, quickly get up!” Seeing that Elder Li was in tears, Xu Bixuan couldn’t help wetting her eyes!
“Empress …” How dare you come here! I heard the news from the outside. Weren’t you with the emperor? This is not a place you should be! ” Eunuch Li looked at Xu Bixuan in panic as he asked her this question!
“I have a reason to come! Eunuch Li, why are you outside the palace? Was it Li Ao Yu who chased you out? ” Seeing Eunuch Li, Xu Bixuan felt much more at ease.
“Sigh …” After that coup, Li Ao Yu chased the palace’s elders and concubines out of the palace. It was a righteous act, but in reality, he was afraid of us informing him. If he wasn’t afraid of provoking criticism, he wouldn’t have let us live … ” When Li Ao Yu was mentioned, Eunuch Li’s teeth were itching from his hatred!
“It’s good as long as you’re alive … If the emperor knew that you were fine, he would definitely be happy … Eunuch Li, don’t worry. Since the emperor has already fought his way to Dingzhou, he will attack the city in the next day! It’s not far from our time to return to the palace! ” Xu Bixuan vowed solemnly!
“We… “Empress …” You don’t blame the Emperor… Actually, the Emperor only has you in his heart … You don’t know, but how could the emperor not feel heartache for his daughter? There were several times when this old servant heard the emperor call out the little princess’ name even in his dreams … ” As Eunuch Li spoke, his eyes filled with tears!
“I know… I don’t blame him… “It’s not weird anymore …” A warm feeling rose from the bottom of her heart. She had missed out on too many things with Leng Ao Tian …
“Oh right, Esteemed Empress, you haven’t said why you came to the capital at such a risk! If Li Ao Yu caught him! “That would be an incredible thing …” Eunuch Li looked worriedly at Xu Bixuan!
“Senior Feng and Little An have been captured by Li Ao Yu. I have to save them!” Xu Bixuan stated her purpose in coming here, hoping that Eunuch Li would find out something.
When Eunuch Li heard this, he turned pale with fright.
“Empress wants to enter the palace to save people?! He absolutely could not do it! “If you were to land in that Li Ao Yu’s hands again, then the emperor …”
“Don’t worry …” “I know what I’m doing. Eunuch Li, are there still any of your men in the palace?” Xu Bixuan changed the subject. He just wanted to know if Senior Servant Feng and Little An were in the palace!
“Yes …” Yes! One of the eunuchs was very loyal. Empress wanted this old servant to find out whether Senior Servant Feng and Little An are in the palace or not. ” Eunuch Li had always been smart. He understood it with a single glance!
“Sorry to trouble you …” Xu Bixuan nodded slightly!
“Empress, what are you saying!” Your business is this old servant’s business! But you have to promise this old servant that you will not be in danger, that Li Ao Yu is cunning, you better not fall into his trap! ” Eunuch Li spoke bitterly!
“Mm, I came prepared …” “Then I’ll leave this matter to you!” Xu Bixuan said indifferently!
“Empress, don’t worry. This old servant will find that eunuch tonight!” Although there were many guards in the important areas of the Imperial Palace, Eunuch Li had been in the Imperial Palace for almost twenty years and knew the layout of the Imperial Palace like the back of his hand.
The night was as cold as water, and the moonlight was like silk as it sprinkled on the ground.
Three figures suddenly darted past the inner courtyard of the palace! For safety’s sake, keep the money pillar outside the palace, just in case!
“There are so many palaces, I wonder which one is Li Ao Yu’s! Can’t we find daylight in such a room? ” Ling Jun complained!
“Be quiet!” It was as if they were afraid that no one knew we were coming! Third Mother! that Ling Jun should be left outside, you talk so much nonsense! ” Lian Ling fiercely glared at Ling Jun!
“Shh, let’s catch a eunuch and ask him!” As Du Sanniang and the others were discussing, a figure suddenly flashed in front of them!
“Did you see it clearly?” Du Sanniang said.
“Look clearly! An old eunuch! You must know Li Ao Yu’s residence! ” The three of them did not say anything else. With two whooshing sounds, they rushed over to the figure just now and pressed down on his acupoints!
“Listen up, if you want to live, don’t shout …” Lian Ling’s eyes were cold. Only under the moonlight was she able to see that she was indeed an old eunuch!
“Let me ask you! Where is the palace where the Emperor lives? What’s your name… I’m asking you a question! “If you don’t want to say it, then so be it!” Just as Lian Ling was about to make her move, Du Sanniang rushed forward to stop her! She pointed at the eunuch’s chest!
Du Sanniang looked at the eunuch who had her acupoint pressed.
“Listen, we won’t hurt you! We’re just here to ask the Emperor something! If you do something convenient, we’ll naturally let you go. If you don’t … That’s going to be tough, but if I open your acupoints and you scream… My sisters are not very good-natured either! ” Du Sanniang shut her mouth and opened the eunuch’s acupoints with a ‘pa’.
“Are the heroes looking for Huang Chao’s sleeping quarters? Easy! At the end of the corridor, they turned to the left and walked past two side halls. Inside the Imperial Palace was the imperial palace! “If you can’t find the Imperial Hall, you can go to the Imperial Study Room and take a look. At this time, the emperor is simply going to these two places!” Eunuch Li had never dreamed that he would encounter such a situation right after sneaking into the palace. But it was also good, someone who could barge into the palace at night was definitely not someone to be trifled with. If he could kill that Li Ao Yu, then it would save the effort of the emperor in Dingzhou City!
“Are you speaking the truth?!” Du Sanniang suspiciously looked at the eunuch in front of her. If she explained everything so clearly, those who didn’t know would think that this eunuch had a grudge with Li Ao Yu!
“Absolutely!” Eunuch Li’s eyes lit up as he solemnly swore.
“En!” With a “pa” sound, Du Sanniang opened up Eunuch Li’s acupoints, indicating for Lian Ling and Ling Jun to leave. Eunuch Li saw that Lian Ling and Ling Jun had left, and knew that she could easily persuade them.
“Third Mother?!” What do you mean? ” Lian Ling turned around and looked at Eunuch Li who was lying on the ground and asked in confusion.
“This person said it so clearly that there’s a trick to it. Let him sleep for a few hours first, and she’ll be fine once he wakes up!” Du Sanniang had been in the martial arts world for many years. Other than this, she was very meticulous! She felt that something was amiss with Eunuch Li’s supernatural behavior of speaking everything he knew!
Eunuch Li had been knocked out just like that, unable to report back in time. Xu Bixuan’s choice had already become a reality …
Following the route described by Eunuch Li, Du Sanniang and the rest indeed saw the words “Imperial Hall”! Seeing that she had found the right place, Ling Jun was about to rush in when she was stopped by Du Sanniang!
“Although these imperial guards are no match for us, we can’t let them show off too much!” As she spoke, Du Sanniang took out a soft bag from her bosom and threw it into the room!
“What is this?!” Ling Jun looked at Du Sanniang with a puzzled expression!
“Zi Ye’s sleeping incense!” From the Star Ghost! In order to make money, this guy actually sold this thing in public. Miss Lian beat him up a lot, and even threatened to beat him up every time she saw him, until she was beaten to death. How could this old man endure this until she was beaten to death. Thinking back to that day, Du Sanniang couldn’t help puckering her cherry lips, almost laughing out loud!
