Chapter 182: Danger in Yanxi Palace, Threat from the Imperial Guards
"It seems that the Xu family did not betray this king."
"But someone discovered it!"
Who is Prince An? Just by making a random guess, you can already guess the truth of the matter.
Just as he had guessed, the Xu family had never betrayed him.
Instead, Jiang Chen sent a group of Jinyiwei to strictly monitor and control the situation.
After saying this, Prince An stood up with his hands behind his back.
"Pass the order to our secret agents in the imperial capital."
"Try your best to see if you can destroy the Regent's granary."
"This way, we won't have to spend much effort to capture the imperial capital."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Prime Minister Huo bowed slightly, then retreated, holding the long sword at his waist.
And just as Prince An's army arrived at the outer city of the imperial capital.
The regent in the city also arranged everything.
The food and defense equipment were secretly divided into several parts and hidden in the city.
After doing all this, the Regent finally felt relieved.
Afterwards, he arranged for all the imperial guards to go up to the city walls.
The Red Battalion among the five battalions of the Northern Army was sent to guard the north gate.
In this way, the 10,000-man Deficit Battalion and the 30,000-man Imperial Guards were combined into one group.
Together with the remaining four battalions of the Northern Army's five battalions, they can be divided into two groups to guard the city during the day and at night.
After Jiang Chen received the order, he led the Qingzi Camp to station near the imperial palace.
Tonight, he will take this opportunity to rescue Concubine Chun!
Putting aside other things, just the fact that Concubine Chun was the only woman with whom he had had a real marriage.
This is enough for Jiang Chen to take such a big risk to save her!
The palace is very quiet at night.
There were only 10,000 royal guards guarding the entire huge palace.
However, the 10,000 imperial guards were stationed in the palace.
But during the time when the Regent ascended the throne, these royal guards bullied the palace maids all day long.
The entire palace was in turmoil, and these soldiers who once guarded the palace were in chaos.
They have long forgotten their original responsibilities and degenerated into demons.
Just as Jiang Chen led a thousand soldiers from the Qingzi Camp and marched into the palace under the pretext of patrolling.
Hundreds of imperial guards are surrounding the Yanxi Palace.
"Hurry up, surround this Yanxi Palace for me!"
"We can't let any of Concubine Chun and the palace maids escape!"
A captain of the Imperial Guards was leading more than half of his soldiers to surround the Yanxi Palace.
Each of them had a lewd smile on his face.
"Empress Chun, please open the palace gate honestly!"
"Otherwise, I'm afraid of these men."
"If you push me too far, I might do something extreme."
When the centurion saw that his imperial guards had surrounded the Yanx Palace, no one could get in or out.
With a sly grin on his face, he came to the gate of the Yanx Palace.
He spoke loudly to Concubine Chun in the Yanxi Palace.
After hearing the voice of the centurion coming from outside the palace gate.
Concubine Chun looked pale, bit her lips, and stood there at a loss.
Behind him, there were dozens of palace maids who were hugging each other and trembling.
Looking at these pitiful and petite palace maids, Concubine Chun gritted her teeth.
Then, he shouted loudly outside the palace gate.
"Don't be rude, I am General Zuo's daughter!"
"If you dare to do anything to me."
"Don't blame my father for not letting you go!"
After hearing what Concubine Chun said, the captain, who was originally full of energy, suddenly became a little wilted.
After all, Concubine Chun’s father is General Chen Huai!
That guy is a tough guy who has five thousand silver-armored soldiers under his command!
Not to mention that he has some family soldiers under his command...
Thinking of this, the captain was a little afraid of Chen Huai behind Concubine Chun.
But when he thought of the regent's secret order, the centurion gritted his teeth.
"Someone, if you don't open it, knock on the door!"
"Yes, General."
At that moment, dozens of imperial guards gathered their strength.
After retreating a certain distance, he slammed hard into the palace gate!
Just then, not far away outside.
Jiang Chen finally arrived with a thousand soldiers from the Qingzi Camp.
“Bold!!”
"I'll see who dares to continue to invade Concubine Chun's bedroom!"
Looking at the imperial guards who were crashing into the gate of Yanxi Palace, a cold light flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.
He raised the sword in his hand and slapped his horse to sit down.
He rushed out directly and chopped down several royal guards at once.
Looking at his comrade who was knocked to the ground by Jiang Chen.
All of a sudden, the remaining Jinyiwei drew their weapons.
Then, they surrounded Jiang Chen with a vigilant look on their faces.
At this time, a thousand soldiers from the Qing Camp led by Han Zhong also rushed over.
"How dare you surround the leader of our Qingzi Camp!"
"Who gave you, the Royal Guards, the courage?!"
Han Zhong saw that his boss was surrounded by this group of ungrateful imperial guards.
He immediately became angry and wanted to chop these royal guards to pieces with his sword.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet."
"Whoever is the leader, stand up!"
"I want to see who has such courage."
"How dare you attack Concubine Chun's bedroom!"
Seeing Han Zhong was furious, he was about to take action.
Jiang Chen quickly spoke up to stop him.
He didn't want to fall out with the Regent yet.
His main task now is to take Concubine Chun out without anyone noticing!
Seeing Jiang Chen speak out to stop them, Han Zhong could only look at the imperial guards angrily.
He placed his hand on the sword at his waist, ready to punish anyone who dared to disrespect Jiang Chen.
He would draw out his sword and finish it off immediately!
"Yes, I greet Lord Jiyuan!"
Upon hearing that Jiang Chen wanted to see him, the captain of the Imperial Guards stood up.
He bowed to Jiang Chen.
"Tell me, whose orders did you follow?"
"How dare you lead troops to attack the Yanxi Palace without permission!?"
Looking at the shifty-looking captain of the Imperial Guards, Jiang Chen asked calmly.
" My Lord, I have received information that there are rebels hiding in the Yanxi Palace."
"That's why we brought our troops here to catch the rebels!"
Because the Regent had repeatedly warned that no one else must know that this was his order.
So, the captain of the Royal Guards made up an excuse.
And this excuse is also very well-made for the current situation.
The rebels must be punished by everyone!
What's more, they are rebels hiding in the imperial palace.
Even if Jiang Chen wanted to shield these so-called "rebels", he would have to think carefully.
But obviously, this captain of the Royal Guards.
I misjudged Concubine Chun's position in Jiang Chen's heart!
"That's nonsense. I am in charge of the Imperial Guard."
"How come I don't know there are rebels in the Yanxi Palace?!"
"In my opinion, you are the rebel!"
Facing the words of the captain of the Imperial Guard, Jiang Chen sneered.
Hearing what his boss said, Han Zhong quickly drew the sword from his waist.
He took a group of soldiers from the Qing Camp and took control of the captain of the Imperial Guards.
