Shangguan Wan'er walked to the train window.
A gust of wind blew in, ruffling the little girl's beautiful hair.
We are getting closer and closer to the capital.
Shangguan Wan'er, the young girl, seemed a little flustered.
"Wan'er, what's wrong?" Jiang Tian noticed that Shangguan Wan'er's expression was somewhat different.
"I don't know how to say it."
Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head.
If you don't know how to say it, then don't say it.
…………
The capital city.
All the people were shocked by the shouts.
Many people took to the streets.
They never expected that the Grand Secretary would lead troops to attack the palace.
"Isn't Pang Daren wholeheartedly devoted to the country?"
"Pang Daren is second only to the emperor, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. How could he do such a thing?"
"There are rumors that the 18 rebel armies were all funded by Pang Daren. Pang Daren appears respectable in court. In reality, he has done many dirty deeds behind the scenes."
"No wonder the imperial army has always been unparalleled in combat power, but it was utterly defeated when it encountered the rebels."
"It turns out there are beasts like Pang Daren providing intelligence to the rebels. These rebels know exactly what the imperial army is doing."
"It's over. The giant's army is advancing like a whirlwind. The palace won't be able to hold out for long."
"Aren't the Imperial Guards the most elite soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty? How come they can't even guard the palace gates?"
"You all'd better shut up. If the Pangda becomes emperor, we'll all be beheaded for talking about this behind his back."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
But the people still sighed with regret.
With a loud bang.
A violent tremor came from the palace gates.
Despite the heavy guard of the Imperial Guards, the palace gates were still forced open.
Feng Huo Lian Cheng swung his scimitar forward sharply: "All soldiers, listen to my command! Charge into the palace!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd surged toward the palace like a tidal wave.
After more than 1,000 men stormed the palace, they headed straight for the Meridian Gate city wall.
The Imperial Guards stationed over a thousand men at the Meridian Gate.
The rebels knew that if they killed these thousands of people, the Imperial Guard would collapse without a fight.
Blood flowed like rivers on the city walls, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with blood everywhere.
Ling Yunxiao brandished his sword: "Soldiers, even if we die today, we must fight them to the death."
"The time has come to serve the country loyally."
"kill……"
Faced with the rebel army surging onto the city walls like a tidal wave, the Imperial Guards chose to fight to the death.
Many rebels rode tall horses and stormed into the palace.
They would chop and kill anyone they saw.
The eunuchs and palace maids were terrified, and screams filled the palace.
Qian Renxue held a pair of scissors in her hand, and this 17-year-old girl held the scissors to her neck.
"Your Majesty, please don't do this." Lu Fang was shocked when he saw it.
"The rebels have breached the city. As the last emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, I am unwilling to prolong my life in vain."
"I have only one hatred in my heart now, I hate that I am a woman. Otherwise, I would definitely take up my sword and ride my horse, and even if I die, I will kill a few rebels."
Lu Fang, the old and decrepit eunuch, rushed forward and snatched the scissors from Empress Qian Renxue's hand without hesitation.
"Lord Jiang's troops are on their way. Come with me, and I'll find a way to get you away."
Qian Renxue shook her head; there was no place for her in the world anymore.
"There are rebels everywhere outside. Where can I run to if I want to?" Empress Qian Renxue had already broken down.
...
At the South Gate.
Suddenly, a fast horse came galloping in.
The man on horseback was none other than Li Yuanba.
Wanli has already ordered the city gates closed.
Li Yuanba, brandishing two golden hammers, charged to the city gate: "Open the city gate! Open the city gate now!"
“Where did this little brat come from? Get out of here. This is not a place for you. The main gate will not open for another two days.”
"My lord has sent me to protect His Majesty. Open the city gates immediately."
The guards on the city wall glanced at Wan Li, the commander of the Nine Gates: "Lord Wan, what should we do now?"
“A kid who only talks nonsense, whatever he does, if he keeps going forward, just shoot him to death with arrows.”
"promise……"
Li Yuanba called out a few more times.
The city gate remained unmoved.
"You dogs! I've yelled so many times, why aren't you opening the city gates?" Li Yuanba rushed to the city gate and brandished two golden hammers.
The two hammers clattered and smashed against the city gate.
The city gate was being smashed with a loud bang.
The stones on the city gate fell one after another.
The soldiers on the city wall were even more shocked when they saw this. They never expected that a small child could have such great strength.
"What are you all standing there for? Quickly shoot him dead with a hail of arrows! We can't let him break into the city!" Wan Li, the Nine Gates Admiral, rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.
He never imagined that a small child could cause such a commotion.
Li Yuanba swung his two large golden hammers and smashed the city gate more than a dozen times, shattering it into pieces with a loud bang.
By the time the arrows came down, Li Yuanba had already dashed into the city and disappeared.
The archers on the city wall could hardly believe their eyes; they rubbed them vigorously.
"I didn't see wrong just now, did I? A little kid actually smashed open the city gate."
"It must be an illusion. How could a child open the city gate?"
“But I clearly saw someone smash open the city gate and ride in on a skinny horse.”
Commander Wan of the Nine Gates quickly waved his hand and said, "You bunch of idiots, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and rush down to take a look."
"Hurry up."
More than 100 people rushed to the foot of the city gate, only to find that the gate had been smashed to pieces.
The ground was littered with shattered pieces of wood from the city gate.
They then realized that what they had just seen was not an illusion at all; someone really could smash Shiromoto.
"Lord Wan, something terrible has happened! The city gate has indeed been smashed."
"That kid was incredibly strong. And his horse was running incredibly fast too."
Upon hearing this, the Nine Gates Admiral collapsed to the ground.
"Sir, what should we do?"
Wanli shook his head; he had no idea what to do.
"What can we do? We'll just have to leave it to fate." Wanli sighed deeply.
Li Yuanba looked at a cluster of glazed tile buildings in the middle of the capital.
From a distance, these buildings appear resplendent in gold and jade.
Without even thinking, you know that's the imperial palace.
There were many soldiers on the street.
These soldiers were all Pang Hao's men, and they were in charge of martial law.
Meanwhile, the rebel army, led by Feng Huo Lian Cheng, stormed into the palace in the distance.
