Chapter 109: Imperial Seal
Yuwen Chengdu became more and more anxious as the fight went on.
The player side was even more anxious. Their situation was getting worse and worse. Although Yan Liang had no opponent, he was blocking Yuan Shao tightly, and they couldn't hit Yuan Shao at all.
The fierce battle lasted for a whole hour, and then heavy footsteps were heard outside the street, which was the sound that could only be made by a large-scale marching army.
As the saying goes, a wolf is afraid of both ends when hit with a straw.
Yuan Shao had just come out of the palace. It would be disastrous if he was blocked by people from the eight schools of Xiyuan.
The players on the other side are even more afraid. If they gather in a crowd and attack and kill the imperial officials in the street, then even being reasonable will become unreasonable.
No one is a fool. In this special period, if both of them are caught, they will be dead.
Although Li Lan and others were very unwilling, they still looked at each other tacitly and chose to retreat.
Yuan Shao looked at the mess on the ground and couldn't help feeling a little dazed . Then, at the prompting of his men, he quickly removed his disguise and pretended to be attacked.
"Benchu, what are you doing?" Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao with confusion and suspicion.
The previous spies reported that Yuan Shao followed the general into the palace, so how come he is here? It seems like he has been through a bloody battle.
"Meng De came at the right time. Come with me to the palace to rescue me. The palace is in turmoil and we have been stopped here by foreigners for a long time!" Yuan Shao said evasively.
The troops under his command are all Yuan family's loyal soldiers. He is very sure that no one will leak the information. The most urgent task now is to clear himself of suspicion.
Zhao Yun stared at Yuan Shao expressionlessly. His intuition told him that Yuan Shao was telling the truth, but not the truth.
But he just buried his doubts in his heart because he had no evidence and intuition was not very convincing.
The group of people didn't say much and rushed towards the palace without stopping.
"Stop, you are not allowed to enter the imperial palace!" Hundreds of Yulin Guards blocked the west gate of the imperial palace and looked at Cao Cao and others vigilantly.
Having just experienced the turmoil, they did not trust anyone who suddenly appeared. While being alert, they sent signals into the sky.
"We are the troops from the eight schools of Xiyuan. We have heard about the turmoil in the palace and have come to rescue you!"
Cao Cao and others looked at each other. They were really not sure what had happened. They didn't think they had been fooled .
"Leave quickly, or don't blame us for being rude!" The Yulin Guards looked at the densely packed team in front of them and held their weapons even tighter. Even the guards could rebel. Who else could they trust? They didn't dare to trust others easily.
"We are here to rescue you under the order of the General of Cavalry. I wonder where the General of Cavalry is now?" Dong Zhuo thought for a moment and stepped forward and said.
"Summoned by the General of Cavalry?" The Yulin Guards looked a little relieved when they heard Dong Zhuo's words. Was it someone their boss called?
"You wait here, I will send someone to inform the General of Cavalry!" The person headed by the Yulin Guard still looked alert, but a little more relaxed than before. In their eyes, it was reasonable for Guo Hao to have such means.
"Damn it, it turns out that the person in Changle Palace is General Guo Fei!"
Yuan Shao lowered his head and figured it out in an instant. No wonder the strength of the Yulin Guards had been declining. It turned out that Liu Hong was really dead.
It’s just that before his death, Liu Hong handed over the Yulin Guard to the General of Cavalry, no wonder the plan failed.
Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and others discussed for a long time but to no avail. They could only wait silently. The ones guarding the gate were the Yulin Guards, the most prestigious troops of the Han Dynasty. If even they participated in the rebellion, they would have no choice but to sit back and wait for death.
Guo Hao in the palace was silent. He had just killed a few players who took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the palace, and then got something he didn't expect.
"The Imperial Seal is a sacred artifact, given by Heaven, and it will last forever."
Guo Hao was playing with the treasure in his hand. This sacred artifact that had been passed down from generation to generation and represented orthodoxy was now in his hands.
It would be fine if it was a normal version of the jade seal, but to him it was just a seal carved out of jade.
But when he got the jade seal, he clearly felt that his Three-legged Golden Crow luck had become several times stronger, and even his talents were greatly enhanced. It seemed that his talents could be activated even at night.
"Hmm? Is there something over there?" Guo Hao suddenly raised his head and looked in one direction. He suddenly felt that there seemed to be something in that place calling him.
"Form a battle line and march." Guo Hao hesitated for a moment, then led the Yulin Guards towards that place.
In the direction that Guo Hao sensed, Queen He was sitting beside the bed, looking at Princess Wannian who was sleeping soundly on the bed. The princess's biological mother died early, and she was the one who raised her on weekdays.
After years of companionship, Empress He had long regarded Princess Wannian as her own daughter. However, when the palace was in turmoil, she devoted herself to her son Liu Bian and completely forgot about Princess Wannian.
Queen He, who wandered confusedly to the eldest princess's bedroom, finally remembered the eldest princess Liu Ying, who was only fourteen years old.
Empress He, feeling somewhat guilty, stayed closely by the side of the eldest princess whom she treated as her own daughter.
The palace was in turmoil. If Liu Ying was left alone like this, she would never be able to get over it.
"Crack, crack, crack"
The sound of armor colliding was heard, followed by screams.
"Is it coming?" Empress He sighed. After all, she came to the throne illegitimately and was later alienated by Emperor Han Liu Hong. As a result, her luck became weaker and she could only use the Phoenix Qi with difficulty.
If she converted the Phoenix Qi into combat power, he didn't know what effect she could achieve.
"Get out!" Empress He shouted, and several soldiers of He Jin who broke into the palace were knocked unconscious.
"Puff" Before Queen He had time to be happy, her face turned pale and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
The country's fortune was not good, and Liu Hong, whom she relied on for the position of queen, was dead. She still forcibly used the phoenix energy to hurt the enemy.
It's simply the Seven Injury Fist, hurting the enemy by a thousand and yourself by eight hundred.
Liu Ying, who was awakened by the noise, looked at Empress He in front of her and was somewhat confused. How could the empress, who had been away for a long time, appear in her bedroom and spit out blood?
At this time, the screams outside the window also reached Liu Ying's ears. Frightened, Liu Ying hid timidly behind Queen He, her eyes full of fear .
Being in an imperial family, she instantly thought of the various stories of rebellion and treason that she had read in books, and could only hold tightly to the corner of Empress He's clothes for psychological comfort.
"It's okay, I'm here, I'm here." Queen He stroked Liu Ying's head with a pale face.
Women are gentle by nature, but they become strong when they become mothers.
No one knew why Empress He, who was originally a little timid and cowardly, did not choose to escape, even though she could have barely escaped by using the Phoenix Qi.
"Maybe, I don't want to live anymore!"
Queen He thought silently and prepared to send Liu Ying away and face the mob outside alone.
