The Changle Gate suddenly opened wide.

As dynasties have always changed, as long as there are military disputes, the people will inevitably suffer.Even a few days ago, Chang'an was only besieged by heavy soldiers, and the city was almost besieged into a dead city.

The people and businessmen inside and outside the city, if they want to go in and out, none of them will have three layers of skin stripped off.Not only do you have to search the body carefully, but you also have to check up and down the defenders outside the city gate. Even so, it is lucky to pass.

Many caravans were trapped inside and outside the city, unable to enter and exit, and many people from other places could not return home.There are also some accidents in their homes, and they are also trapped in the city, unable to go in and out.

But no one dared to say more.

Now that the imperial city is in chaos, even the emperor has a strange disease and is unconscious, what more do they dare to ask for?

I just hope that the last battle will not be fought, and it will come to the city.

But early this morning, fighting broke out outside the city.

Just after noon, the city gates from north to south were closed one after another.The whole of Chang'an was imprisoned, and only the faint sounds of fighting outside the city and the sound of swords and flames could be heard.

In the afternoon, the Changle Gate opened.

Changle Gate leads directly to Changle Street, and if you go straight north, you can reach Xuanwu Gate outside the imperial city.

At this time, Changle Street, where eight carriages can run parallel, was empty, and no pedestrians could be seen.The people in the city who had received the news a long time ago hid in their homes with their doors and windows closed.

They know that no matter which side wins, the army will rush into the city.

When the army enters the city, there will be more or less turmoil, and it is not known that there will even be street fighting in the city.What's more, when soldiers entered the city, there was no reason to return empty-handed. There would probably be some looting, even if the doors and windows were locked, it would be useless.

After all, a few days ago, Chang'an was just besieged by the army, and it was already messed up. Now that the army has entered the city, how could it be possible to let it go?

The people in the city hid in their houses, and the residents facing the street looked out cautiously through the gaps in the windows.

The city gate was wide open, and the sound of horseshoes and armor colliding could be heard from a distance.Like thunderous thunder, it spread into the city from far and near.

The whole army was quiet and pruned, lined up all the way, and entered the city from Changle Gate.Through the windows, the common people saw an army in Xuanjia, heading north along Changle Street.

The line is very long, and there can be thousands of people entering the city.But the army passed by, and the whole street returned to quietness and peace, without being affected at all.

The people in the city knew at a glance that they had escaped a catastrophe this time.

The coach who enters the city must be a strict and upright general.

The people in the city couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Fortunately, they were the ones who won the battle.

Gradually, when the army was gone, some people dared to take to the streets.After a while, soldiers came to inform each household that the eight city gates would resume normal traffic within today, and those who wanted to pass by could prepare their documents in advance, and they could enter and exit today.

Not long after, Changle Street returned to its former peace and bustle.

However, after a sigh of relief, they became curious.

"Where did the army that entered the city come from?" Someone began to ask in a teahouse.

Everyone is naturally not very clear.But someone said: "Wearing Xuanjia, I heard that it was the Yanyun cavalry from Yanjun."

Others asked: "Yan County? Didn't Yan County fall to the ground two years ago?"

The man shook his head and said: "Although Yan County is gone, there are still some Yanyun iron cavalry. I heard that they were merged into other troops. I don't know how they came here today."

Then someone suddenly asked: "Yanyun iron cavalry? Could it be that the one who can command the army of Yanjun is the King of Guangling?"

The name of King Guangling is like thunder in Chang'an.

Back then, everyone knew that he was a born evil star, and he was sent to Yan County right after he was born.Two years ago, the fall of Yan County was also related to his fate.

However, since the beginning of last year, when the king was granted the title and the mansion was established, King Guangling has become more and more powerful in the court, and even Prime Minister Xu dared not provoke him.

The people in Chang'an City didn't know the situation in the temple, but they also knew what a powerful character Xu Xiang was under one man and above ten thousand people.Since he is more powerful than Xu Xiang, wouldn't he be emperor sooner or later?

Everyone has this kind of speculation, but they dare not say it.

At this time, when King Guangling was mentioned, everyone felt that it made sense.

Who is going to be the prince and hold the power now?It is the fourth prince.And King Guangling is the fifth prince.Now that the emperor has a strange disease, isn't it the two of them who become kings and losers?

This time, everyone knew what was going on in their hearts.

Someone said: "Didn't everyone say that King Guangling is an evil star? I think it's pretty good..."

Everyone naturally had this idea in their hearts, but no one was the first to speak.Now that the surrounding army outside the city has been subdued, everyone became more courageous.

Hearing this, they all echoed.

"The army outside the city was said to be following orders before, but what have they been doing these days?"

"That's right, they said that the army who resisted the edict was not allowed to return to Beijing, but why did they lock us up?"

"The store has to pay the rent, and we have to buy goods to do business. In the past few days, we have been disturbed and lost a lot of money."

"In my opinion, this King Guangling is better than the Fourth Highness."

"What kind of fate, I think it's a miscalculation? After all, fortune tellers sometimes miscalculate..."

Everyone in the teahouse talked to each other, and gradually, they all started to praise Xue Yan.

Suddenly, someone said: "I just looked carefully, the one at the beginning of the line may be King Guangling."

Others hurriedly asked, "What does it look like?"

The man was very serious: "He is heroic, tall and mighty, and looks like a heaven and a man! It's just..."

"Just what?"

The man thought for a while, shook his head again, and said nothing.

It's just that he seemed to see at that time that there were not one person but two without the mysterious armor.

I just don't know, which one of them is King Guangling?

-

Suzaku Avenue is located outside the First Street of the Imperial City. On both sides of the street are the residences of dignitaries.

The army stopped here.

Xue Yan reined in his horse and turned to look at Jun Huailang.

"You go home first." He said.

Jun Huailang nodded.

Now that the situation in the palace is unstable, Xue Yan and Xue Yunhong will naturally decide to fight each other to the death.With Jun Huailang's status, it is not suitable for him to get involved, and he also knows that there is nothing for him to do.

He looked at Xue Yan, nodded, and saw Xue Yan turned around and looked at him fixedly.

"Be careful." Jun Huailang warned.

Xue Yan nodded in response.

"Don't worry," he said. "Now, I don't dare to die at all."

Jun Huailang laughed a few times.

"Then I'm relieved," he said.

As he spoke, he turned his horse's head, walked out of Yanyun's iron cavalry alone, turned around and walked towards Suzaku Street.

After walking a few steps, he turned around and saw Xue Yan looking at him.

Xue Yan didn't speak anymore, but those eyes were unusually deep.

Jun Huailang suddenly felt that he didn't have nothing to do now.

He has a very strong urge now.

He wanted to go home and tell his family members frankly about himself and Xue Yan.

-

There will never be no secret passages in the palace.

After Xue Yunhong and Xu Xiang made an agreement, Xu Xiang planned to let him escape through the secret passage in the palace first.Although this secret passage can only lead out of the imperial city, but Chang'an City is so big, if you want to find a person, it is still a needle in a haystack.

They brought the materials and put on the imperial seal of Emperor Qingping.They planned to forge an imperial decree from Emperor Qingping, pretending that it was a secret decree written by Emperor Qingping before his illness, and to make the fourth prince the crown prince.

The struggle for the throne not only depends on who has the strongest power behind and who has a strong army, but also depends on who is justified.

At that time, they tried every means to send Xue Yunhong out of Chang'an and to Qinmen Pass.There are still some defenders at Qinmen Pass, which can be used by them.At that time, they announced the imperial decree that Xue Yunhong was the one who was supposed to inherit the throne. Even if Xue Yan sat on the throne, he would be a national traitor who usurped power.

At that time, they will not have no chance to counterattack.

Xue Yunhong entered the secret passage.

The secret way is in the imperial study room, all the way out, you can go out from the east of the imperial city.They didn't know this at first, but there was a Lengfu beside Xue Yunhong, who had been by Emperor Qingping's side all year round, so he also knew about this hiding place.

Lingfu opened the mechanism for them, and they escaped with themselves.

A group of people held their lamps and entered the secret passage.

The secret passage is rather dark and narrow.This secret path was built when the imperial palace was built in the previous dynasty, but it has not been used for many years and has long been abandoned.The road has been left unattended all year round, not only without lights, but also exudes a musty smell of decay.

Xue Yunhong stumbled as he walked, he had never been so embarrassed before.

He gritted his teeth.

"Today's humiliation will be repaid a hundred times in the future!" He said.

Xu Xiang followed behind him, and although he was still worried when he heard what he said, he was somewhat relieved.

He was afraid that Xue Yunhong would be afraid. From then on, they would scramble to survive, and their century-old foundation of the Xu family would be destroyed in one fell swoop.

"Your Highness has this ambition in his heart, and I feel at ease." He said. "Although the Xu family is not as good as it used to be, there are still some soldiers and horses, and there are emergency gold and silver. Your Highness just let it go, and the family will definitely help you to return to Chang'an."

Xue Yunhong gritted his teeth and said, "There's also Xue Yan, I will definitely make him die."

Xu Xiang nodded.

"According to the calculated time, Xue Yan should not have entered the city at this time, and we can escape safely." He said. "It's just that Your Highness still needs to be cautious, and don't be impulsive for a while. We can make plans for these things after we make an imperial decree and return to Qinmen Pass."

Xue Yunhong responded.

Several people strenuously moved forward.

The imperial city is extremely large, and the imperial study room is still in the middle of the imperial city.Xue Yunhong's legs and feet were weak from walking all the way, the clothes on his body were rubbed with dust and moss, and the hem of his clothes was trampled into mud, so he heard the voice of listening to blessings.

"It's here!" Ling Fu said. "Your Highness, don't worry, the exit is right in front of you!"

Xue Yunhong only felt that he was about to be vomited by the musty smell in the tunnel. Hearing this, he hurriedly looked forward.

It was still dark, but Ling Fu stretched out his hand and touched the secret door.

"Going out is a small corner outside the city wall." Ling Fu said while pushing the door. "In the direction of Your Highness, this place is secluded and no one comes here."

With that said, the door was pushed open, and bright light flooded in instantly.

Even though the weather has always been as calm as Xue Yunhong's, at this moment he couldn't wait, and hastily poked his head towards the light.

However, before he took his first breath of fresh air, he froze.

A chair was placed at the entrance of the tunnel, and the person sitting on it was Xue Yan.

He crossed his legs, put one hand on the armrest, and pointed his finger at his chin.On both sides of him, there is a large group of Xuanjia soldiers, like an indestructible wall.

Xue Yunhong met those amber eyes in a daze.

I saw that those eyes were full of impatience, as cold as ice.

"Xue Yunhong, I thought you were smart, but I didn't expect to be so stupid." The corner of his lips curved into a cold arc, revealing a mocking smile.

"The only tunnel in the entire palace is next to the East Factory. Where do you think you can go?"
