In autumn, I arrived at Qingling Palace. There were seven palace guards guarding the palace, watching Ye Xue'e all the time.
When autumn came, all the palace guards came to greet them.
They still didn't know what was happening in the Jinluan Hall, but they just heard bursts of explosions in the distance.
After all, the guards have their own tasks and don't pay too much attention to things elsewhere.
"Lord Qiunian, why are you here?"
Qiunian said: "Something happened with the prince. I was ordered to take Ye Xue'e away. You guys, follow me."
The seven guards didn't think much about it. Since it was the prince's order, they would naturally obey it.
Ye Xue'e and Hongxiu were painting in the room, and they had no idea what was going on outside.
Suddenly, Qiu Nian and several guards rushed into the palace and wanted to take them away.
Ye Xue'e asked: "Where are you taking me? Is Mr. Fang back?"
Qiu Nian's face was very cold: "Stop talking nonsense and take it away!"
Ye Xue'e and Hong Xiu were frightened when they saw the menace of these people.
They did not dare to resist and left with these people obediently.
They had just reached the courtyard when suddenly, more than a hundred Jin Yiwei rushed over.
"Lord Qiunian, where are you going?"
The person coming is Qingluan.
Fang Chen had already made arrangements. Taking advantage of the chaos in the palace today, he asked Qingluan to find a good opportunity to take someone over and pick up Ye Xue'e.
Qiu Nian and everyone were shocked.
"Who did I think it was? It turns out to be the famous person next to His Majesty, Lord Qingluan. I advise you, Sir, to stay out of the way and get out of the way immediately!"
Qiu Nian said, then stretched out his right hand, grabbed Ye Xue'e's wrist, and pinched Ye Xue'e's neck with the other hand.
Ye Xue'e was so frightened that her face turned pale and she struggled in panic. Hongxiu next to her was also frightened and screamed.
"Empress..."
There are too many people on the other side, so Qiu Nian plans to take hostages and leave.
Seeing this, the seven guards also drew their long swords.
"Sir Qiunian, although these more than a hundred people are large in number, they are not our opponents at all. You don't have to worry!"
Seven people are very confident!
However, as soon as the man finished speaking, a bullet shot over and hit his forehead.
Then, the guard fell to the ground and died.
The rest of the people were shocked!
soon.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
The guards fell to the ground one after another. They could not react because the bullets came out of the gun barrel and there was no real energy at all, so they could not feel the danger.
These seven guards had also heard about the power of the new weapon, but they had never seen it.
Before they died, they finally saw it!
Qiu Nian was covered in cold sweat, and he was the only one left now!
"Don't come here, let me go, let me leave here. I'm just a little person. I just want to live! It doesn't matter to you whether you kill me or not!"
Qiu Nian's face is pale, and his cultivation level is not high. Now there is no other way but to hold Ye Xue'e hostage.
Qiu's hand has been grabbing Ye Xue'e's neck, and Qingluan doesn't dare to make a move easily.
"Hurry up, let me go, or let's see who is faster, your weapons or my hands!"
Qiu Nian said, pressing her hand on Ye Xue'e's neck a little harder.
Ye Xue'e's face turned red from being suppressed, and she couldn't say a word.
Seeing this, Qingluan waved his hand and signaled his men not to take action and said: "Yes, you are just a small person, there is no need to kill you. You can leave Ye Guiren if you let him go."
Qiu Nian did not let her go at all, and sneered: "Do you think I am stupid? If I let her go now, you will definitely kill me. I will take her away, and I will not let her go until I leave the palace."
After Qiu Nian finished speaking, he dragged Ye Xue'e back towards the side door.
At this moment, Hong Xiu, who was behind him, suddenly picked up a gun in his hand.
When Fang Chen left before, he gave Hong Xiu and Ye Xue'e a gun each to use for self-defense.
The two of them had always carried it with them, but had never used it. Hong Xiu's hands were trembling with the gun, and the muzzle was pointed at the back of Qiu Nian's head.
Qiunian didn't notice any danger. He felt that even a little maid couldn't do anything.
And at this moment, there was a bang!
Red sleeves fired!
Hong Xiu was very timid to begin with. She would not dare to kill chickens or fish, but for her master and Ye Xue'e, Hong Xiu actually shot and killed someone!
The bullet penetrated the back of Qiu Nian's head. At this moment, Qiu Nian had lost all his strength. Before he died, he turned around, wanting to see who killed him.
Unfortunately, it didn't work out.
Afterwards, Qiu Nian fell to the ground!
"Ah!" Hong Xiu threw away the gun in his hand, held his head and screamed. When he saw the corpse in front of him, he fainted from fright.
Ye Xue'e was also frightened, with tears streaming down her face. She didn't expect that at the last critical moment, it was Hong Xiu who saved her. She rushed to Hong Xiu and hugged Hong Xiu tightly into her arms.
Qingluan came over: "Ye Guiren, Hongxiu is fine, she was just too frightened. Come with us, I will take you to see Mr. Fang."
Ye Guiren naturally knew Qingluan. When she heard that she was going to meet Fang Chen, Ye Xue'e wiped away the tears on her face and was very excited.
"Master Qingluan, thank you for coming to save us."
Qingluan nodded, and then a group of people left here together.
…
On the way to the West Palace Gate, Luo Longyu knocked out a eunuch, changed into a eunuch to serve him, wiped off the blood on his body, transformed into a little eunuch, and headed to the West Palace Gate.
Along the way, he didn't see the Forbidden Army, anyone from the patrol camp, or any reinforcements.
He had a bad premonition in his heart, which became stronger and stronger.
When he approached the West Palace Gate, he was blocked by a dozen or so imperial guards under the city tower!
Luo Longyu didn't understand why there were imperial guards here? Aren't the four palace gates guarded by imperial troops?
When did Jin Yiwei take over this place?
Luo Longyu took control of the people in the Forbidden Army and the patrol camp, and most of the people on both sides were political figures who infiltrated, and a small number were from the original Forbidden Army and patrol camp. These people had no choice but to obey orders.
The dirty work of guarding the city gate and the patrol work must be left to this small group of people.
Those people in the rivers and lakes, after becoming the forbidden army and patrol camp, eat, drink and have fun every day.
If nothing major happens in the imperial city, there is no need for the imperial army and the patrol camp to take action. They will just enjoy life every day and do nothing.
The small number of people in the Forbidden Army and the patrol camp had long complained. They were doing hard work and earning the same money, but they had no choice.
Last night, Fang Chen went to Dongchang to find Yang Zongchang, and he asked Yang Zongchang to help him control the four palace gates!
This point is not difficult for Yang Zongchang, because all the imperial troops guarding the palace gate are Yang Zongchang's former subordinates.
