"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

A confidant rushed to Prince Ruyang and called him urgently, waking him up from his dream of ascending the throne and sitting on the dragon throne.

"doing what?"

Prince Ruyang frowned unhappily and shouted in a low voice: "What's the matter?!"

What a look it is to be so startled.

The throne was right before his eyes, within his grasp, and he didn't want to be distracted by anything.

"Your Majesty, look."

The confidant pointed to the side and the back, and Prince Ruyang suppressed his impatience and looked back: "They are just some Jinwu Guards, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Ministers were not allowed to ride horses within the imperial city.

These Jinwu Guards are all infantry, how can they catch up with him?

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a white knight riding a tall horse rushing out from the night with unstoppable momentum.

The moonlight fell on his handsome face, and he looked like a god of war bathing in the moonlight.

"Yan Changqing!"

Prince Ruyang's pupils shrank as he saw more and more white knights emerging from behind him. They were all cavalry.

How could Yan Changqing appear at such a critical moment?

The army he brought back from Hexi had clearly not yet reached Anxing.

King Ruyang clenched his fists and understood instantly.

If he can travel light, Yan Changqing can naturally do the same.

The white jade steps leading to the Wende Hall were within reach, and Prince Ruyang ordered: "Take a team of people to the harem, arrest the empress dowager or the queen, and bring her to the Wende Hall."

There was no way he was giving up.

As long as he could lead his troops into the Wende Hall and control the emperor, wouldn't everyone else have to just obey his orders?

In addition, sending people to the harem to take hostages would add another layer of leverage.

Victory is at hand.

The white-clad soldiers approached quickly, raised their long swords, and chopped down on the black-armored soldiers who were still running.

The already messy formation became even more chaotic in an instant, and a lot of people were dispersed.

Only the most loyal subordinates to King Ruyang followed his steps closely on horseback.

For King Ruyang, these mobs would not be a loss as long as they could slow down Yan Changqing's pace a little.

He has only one goal.

He rode up the steps, and the rapid sound of the horse's hooves struck the white jade, making a crisp sound.

What greeted him was a dense net of arrows, which drew high parabolas in the night sky and whizzed down.

Prince Ruyang used his sword to deflect the arrows, and his personal guards rushed forward to protect him.

Amid the flashing of swords and sabers, people were constantly shot and fell.

These losses are worth it.

The magnificent Wende Hall was the goal he strived for throughout his life.

"Da da da!"

The sound of rapid horse hooves stomping hard on the jade steps seemed to explode in Prince Ruyang's ears, standing out in the chaos.

He was so shocked that he felt a chill down his spine.

He knew without looking back that the person chasing him must be Yan Changqing.

Why is he so fast!

"Quick, quick!"

He squeezed his horse's belly hard and ordered his horse to speed up. When the rain of arrows subsided a little, he rushed forward desperately.

Archery requires distance, and archers need to change arrows. No matter how fast, it still takes time.

The long spears of the guards danced in front of King Ruyang like an airtight net, protecting him as he rushed up. However, they themselves were exposed to the feather arrows, and from time to time someone fell off the horse, and someone else immediately took his place.

The jade steps in front of the Wende Hall are very high and long, but if there is no obstruction, it would only take a while to reach the destination on horseback.

Since the founding of Dajing, no one has dared to be so presumptuous in front of the Wende Hall.

This feeling alone gave King Ruyang a special sense of accomplishment.

The horse's hooves finally touched the ground.

There were still more than twenty personal guards left by Prince Ruyang's side, and black-armored soldiers continued to pour in from behind.

The Jinwu Guards and the White Army were behind them, so they had to follow King Ruyang.

He did not pull the reins and continued to speed forward.

It is only three meters away from the vermilion and gold-painted carved gate of Wende Hall.

It will arrive in a moment.

"Shh!"

A bright knife flashed down, and standing in front of him was a heroic female general.

Wanqi Lou held a long Mo Dao in his right hand and chopped at his horse's legs without saying a word.

Prince Ruyang pulled the reins suddenly, steering the horse to dodge the long knife, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

The Jinwu Guards were infiltrated by him, and the soldiers in the capital camp were deceived by him and had no time to rush into the capital. So where did this female general come from?

Wanqi Lou looked at him coldly, which made Prince Ruyang feel very uncomfortable.

To be fair, Prince Ruyang is a truly handsome man.

Even though he was old, he was still tall and straight. He had a good bone structure, deep facial features, and a beautiful beard under his chin.

He is indeed the brother of the late emperor.

"Pity."

Wanqi Lou uttered three words lightly and looked at King Ruyang with the eyes of a dead person.

She was ordered by the Empress Dowager to guard the Wende Hall and not let the enemy take a single step forward.

Unless, you step over her dead body.

Behind her were the Cui family's Green Guards, and behind them were the female soldiers who performed best in this training, all holding bows and arrows in their hands.

I was originally determined to die, but now it seems that I don't have to.

In the corner of Wanqi Lou's eye, the white-clad soldiers were getting closer and closer, and the one leading them was none other than her former commander, Yan Changqing.

In this world, there is no battle that Yan Changqing cannot win.

She trusted him so blindly.

So, she just needed to delay time and didn't mind talking a few more words to King Ruyang.

Prince Ruyang doesn't have the time for that.

He was extremely anxious and wanted to step into the hall immediately.

"Push it to me!"

He just didn't believe that his well-trained elite troops and the desperate criminals who were blinded by killing could not break through the defense circle formed by a few women.

Wanqi Lou brandished his long sword to fight, the Qingyi Guards fought hard, and the female soldiers in the back threw away their bows and arrows, drew their long swords from their waists and rushed forward to fight.

For the defending side, they have the advantage of terrain.

The platform from the entrance of the hall to the steps is only three meters wide.

The combat space was so narrow that even the horses couldn't run away, let alone the people behind them.

For a while, the battle was stalemate.

Prince Ruyang saw this and felt anxious. He wanted to rush in regardless of the consequences several times, but was stopped by Wanqi Lou every time.

Inside the Hall of Wende.

All the ministers looked grim when they heard the fighting outside.

Military generals are better, but most of them have been away from the battlefield for many years and have no proper weapons. If they are really attacked by the rebels, they will have no choice but to resist with their flesh and blood.

The palace no longer looked like a court.

The ministers stood in two semicircles with the dragon throne as the center. The inner circle was civil officials and the outer circle was military generals.

The emperor sat high on the dragon throne, and his expression was the most relaxed among so many people.

Until, the wild laughter of King Ruyang was heard outside the door.

"My nephew, your mother has been captured by me. Are you still hiding in your turtle shell?"

what?

How can it be?

The Queen Mother is in Xining Palace, and the entire palace is under her defense. How could she fall into the hands of Prince Ruyang?
