Chapter 2831 Should I go back?
Ying Shao immediately said, "Reinforce the city gates. We'll handle the rest!"
The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to delay. Seeing that the people outside the city gate had begun to attack, they immediately stepped forward and stabilized the city gate. The imperial guards who were originally divided into two groups immediately merged together and began the final suppression of the remaining group of Earth Immortals.
At this time, Luo Qitong on the city wall rushed over, leaned against the parapet and looked down.
Just then, Ying Shao also looked up.
The two looked at each other, and Ying Shao said, "Don't worry, I will help you guard the city gate!"
Luo Qitong nodded vigorously.
At this moment, a huge roar came from the direction of another city gate in the distance, like a muffled thunder, rolling in the night, startling the people below.
Luo Qitong immediately looked up in the direction where the sound came from.
It's on the northwest corner tower.
When he heard the voice, Ying Shao frowned.
Although Nan Yan had told him clearly before when she dispatched the imperial guards to reinforce the defense of the nine gates, the people of Dian had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and they must hit them with one blow, no matter from the inside or the outside. Therefore, they would not choose a gate to the palace at random, but would use all means to interfere with their sight and then attack their weakest point.
What they can do is to make every city gate "not weak".
Because, whether it was Luo Qitong or him, the troops they arranged were relatively dispersed and evenly distributed.
Even so, as the northeast corner gate was the location where unusual movements outside the city were discovered twice, they would unconsciously strengthen the defense in this place, so Luo Qitong and Ying Shao both stayed in this place.
Now, I don’t know what’s going on at the northwest corner gate.
Even at this moment, Ying Shao was slightly shaken.
Should I send more people there?
Just as he was wavering for a moment, Luo Qitong on the tower shouted, "Sir Ying, don't change your decision now that you've made it. Otherwise, you'll be exposed to the enemy!"
“……!”
Ying Shao's heart moved and he looked up at him.
Luo Qitong said in a deep voice, "Defend the northeast corner gate to the death, that's right."
“…”
"They can handle the other city gates!"
Seeing him say this, Ying Shao felt a little relieved and said loudly: "Okay!"
At the same moment he said this word, in the city, under the dark night, another noise was heard. The sound came from farther away. Although it was no longer so deafening when it reached their ears, they could still feel it. It was a huge clamor.
Ying Shao and Luo Qitong both raised their heads.
The direction from which the sound came was not from any city gate, but rather—
Palace!
The two looked at each other, and something flashed through their minds, and they were both stunned.
Luo Qitong said: "The Imperial Palace?!"
Ying Shao said: "Could it be that someone——"
The two men paused for a moment, and after thinking about it, Luo Qitong's face suddenly turned ashen.
Everything they encountered while guarding the city gates was predictable, but a surprise attack on the palace was something they hadn't anticipated. Because the nine inner and outer gates were already closed, they only transferred the imperial guards to the outer nine gates after ensuring the safety of the palace.
However, the people from the Earthly Immortal Society disguised themselves as ordinary people and monks.
In this case, the palace may not be safe.
They would pretend to be harmless and blend into ordinary houses and temples in the city. I'm afraid that just now, when the people of Dian attacked, they also began to attack the palace!
Unfortunately, most of the imperial guards were transferred here.
If that place is attacked, if it falls, if the emperor and his men are all here - even if we defend the nine gates, the entire Great Yan Dynasty is doomed to collapse!
Luo Qitong immediately said, "What should we do?"
“…”
Ying Shao's face also turned pale.
Should I go back?

"Li Quan!"
Hearing someone calling from behind, the figure turned around and saw that it was Li Quan, who had just been fighting with Tingfu and had sneaked away in the chaos when the door was knocked open.
He was originally obsessed with his own wealth and glory, but he was frightened when he saw so many people rushing into the palace, each of them like a jackal or tiger that had lost its mind, killing anyone it saw and robbing anything it saw.
I subconsciously want to slip away.
But someone called him.
When he turned around, he saw that the person who called him was none other than Pang Hu, who had contacted him before.
He came forward and said, "Why are you running?"
Li Quan was a little flustered at first, but when he saw him, he calmed down and said, "I didn't run away. But you, what do you want me to do?"
"What else can I do?"
Pang Hu said with a grim smile: "Please help me find the most important person."
"The most important person? Who?"
"Who do you say it is? We have already entered the palace. Who do you think is the most important person in the palace?"
“…”
Li Quan's eyes widened suddenly: "You, you want to find the emperor?"
Pang Hu sneered, "Nonsense? It's already like this. If we don't go find him, are we going to wait for him to come find us in the future? Li Quan, even though you're rootless and childless and don't need to be exterminated, think about it, based on what you've done, isn't being hacked into pieces enough?"
“…”
"Don't you understand what will happen to us if we don't find him quickly?"
When Li Quan heard this, his heart sank.
Indeed, at this point, there is no turning back.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, follow me!"
A cold light flashed in Pang Hu's eyes, and he immediately waved his hand. A team rushed in from outside. These people were agile, and the swords in their hands were different from the sickles and kitchen knives in the hands of other believers of the Earth Immortal Society. They were weapons in the form of swords.
These people are obviously not ordinary believers.
Li Quan saw this, but he didn't care about it anymore. He immediately led the group through a small path nearby. No other mobs had entered here yet. Only some frightened young eunuchs and palace maids were walking by in a panic. They were bumped into by these people and killed one by one.
Soon, blood flowed like a river.
Li Quan was terrified and led them to a huge, tightly closed red door.
Said: "This is the Yuehua Gate. After passing this gate, you can enter the harem."
Pang Hu asked, "Where is the emperor?"
Li Quan said, "I haven't been serving in the harem these days, so I don't know. However, judging by the current situation, the Imperial Concubine is in charge of the overall situation. I'm afraid the Emperor is in her Yonghe Palace."
"Yonghe Palace? Can you find it?"
"Of course. When I was serving the emperor some time ago, I went there every day."
"Well, take us there quickly!"
"This door—"
