Until the concubines' palace maids went out to find out the news.
Only after seeing the empress dowager's men carrying the sedan chair and rushing out of the palace did the concubines completely believe it.
The Queen Mother and the Empress fled in a hurry, so how could the concubines dare to hesitate?
They screamed and urged the palace maids and eunuchs to pack up their things and run away.
Fortunately, the concubines didn’t have much to pack.
She put the few jewellery she had on her head and hurriedly followed the palace maids and eunuchs out of the palace.
The palace maids all rejoiced, thankfully all the things in the Empress' palace had been cleared out by the heavenly punishment.
So there wasn't much stuff and I packed it up pretty quickly.
In the past, it would take a lot of time to sort out the gold, silver and jewelry...
All of a sudden, people in the palace rushed towards the palace gate, the scene was extremely spectacular...
.......
"Open the city gate, open the city gate quickly!!"
Emperor Tianwu's men shouted towards the South Gate from a distance,
"The Emperor is leaving the city. Open the gate quickly! Quick!"
Looking at the city gate right in front of him, Emperor Tianwu couldn't help feeling a little excited.
The secret guards led the way, and the journey was very smooth.
He stared at the direction of the city gate, and the speed of the horse under his crotch did not slow down at all.
Calculating the distance, he could run out directly the moment the city gate opened.
The secret guard shouted three or four times in succession, but the city gate did not open.
Looking at the defenders standing behind the city gate without moving an inch, the secret guard suddenly felt something was wrong.
In the past, the secret guards would take the token to go out for urgent matters on behalf of Emperor Tianwu. When they shouted to open the city gate from afar, the gate would have been opened long ago.
This time, Emperor Tianwu came in person, but the gate guards did not move at all. There was obviously something fishy going on.
“Oh~~”
The secret guard pulled the reins and braked the horse suddenly. The horse raised its hooves and neighed.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong!"
The secret guard hurriedly turned around and reported to Emperor Tianwu who was following closely behind.
Emperor Tianwu frowned, grabbed the reins, and glared at the city gate, "Kill!"
He is still the emperor of the Great Celestial Empire. The small guards at the city gate dare to ignore him like this. They are simply seeking death.
If they delay his leaving the city, all nine generations of their clan should be executed.
As soon as Emperor Tianwu finished speaking, several secret guards flew out from their horses, waving sharp swords in their hands and running towards the city gate.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~”
At the same time, a group of crossbowmen suddenly appeared at the city gate, stacked in three layers, shooting the secret guards in all directions.
The sky was filled with crossbow arrows, whizzing towards the secret guards and Emperor Tianwu and his group.
The secret guard's pupils trembled, and he shouted loudly, "Protect the emperor!!"
The secret guard who had not yet rushed to the city gate tiptoed and quickly retreated, swinging the sword in his hand to leave an afterimage, blocking the rain of arrows.
“Clang clang clang…”
A series of "dili lang~~" sounds were heard before Emperor Wu of Liang and his ministers reacted.
The ministers shouted in panic, their faces pale, "Protect the emperor, protect the emperor quickly!!!"
"Who...who dares to assassinate the emperor!"
"Be careful, Your Majesty, run!"
“…”
Upon seeing this, the palace guards following the ministers drew their swords and rushed to Emperor Tianwu.
The ministers jumped off their horses tremblingly and swarmed behind Emperor Tianwu.
There was no way, they didn't know martial arts, so they could only follow Emperor Tianwu.
Emperor Tianwu is surrounded by palace guards and secret guards, all of whom are top-notch masters and will definitely protect the emperor.
Emperor Tianwu was protected by his guards, staring at the city gate with a frown.
He couldn't figure out who dared to work with Chen Yong from inside and outside to intercept him at the South Gate.
According to the time when Chen Yong broke into the city, they should have searched the palace first, and then chased after him after they found that he was missing.
By that time, he had already left the capital.
"Who on earth dares to betray me? I will kill all of their clans!!!"
Emperor Tianwu roared angrily.
Kong Zongli stood next to Emperor Tianwu and persuaded him, "Your Majesty, why don't you change your route and escape from the west corner gate?"
"If we delay any longer, we won't be able to escape once the rebels catch up with us."
At this moment, screams were heard. Many palace guards were shot by crossbows and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
Kong Zongli trembled and looked forward in panic.
Seeing the palace guards struggling, everything went dark before his eyes.
The crossbows of the defenders at the city gate seemed to be endless.
Under the attack of rain of arrows, the palace guards and secret guards could only defend and not attack.
The guards would not be able to hold out for much longer if they kept defending with all their might.
No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can't even hit the opponent under the siege of arrows. Your hands and feet are so busy that you will be shot if you are not careful.
Emperor Wu of Liang suddenly turned his head to look at Kong Zongli, his eyes full of anger.
"How can I go through the west corner gate!!!"
There are all kinds of people in the area around the west corner gate, and that door is actually a dog hole.
It’s just that after so many years, the dog hole has become a little bigger, barely enough for people to walk through.
The existence of the West Corner Gate is for those at the bottom of society to leave, and he would never go through the West Corner Gate even if he died.
There were quite a few guards at the West Corner Gate. If the emperor of his country escaped from the West Corner Gate, the news would spread throughout the capital in an instant.
How can he fight his way back to the capital in the future? This will become a stain on his life.
Kong Zongli sighed helplessly, "Your Majesty, the guards are obviously unable to bear it anymore. If we don't leave now, it will be too late."
