Chapter 2176 A Critical Moment
Military talisman!
Hearing these two words, Ran Xiaoyu's eyes widened, and Xue Yun took a breath.
“……!”
She had never seen a military token because she was born and raised in Bailong City, a place without government offices or courts, so naturally there was no such thing as a military token.
However, some legends of the Yan and Neng countries would spread to Bailong City, and she was not unfamiliar with the word "military token".
That's something that can mobilize a large army!
She opened her eyes wide and stammered, "Soldier, soldier token...?"
Shouldn't this thing be in the hands of the emperor and the generals? Ordinary ministers rarely see it, let alone get it.
Such things will never be handed over to people easily.
But now, it actually appeared in the hands of the imperial concubine!
Why is it here in Nanyan?
Ran Xiaoyu was also stunned for a while before she looked at Nan Yan, her voice changing tone: "My Lady, what—what's going on?"
Nan Yan said: "The emperor has arranged troops at Yuehua Gate."
"Yuehuamen?!"
When Ran Xiaoyu heard this, her eyes lit up.
Yuehua Gate is located after passing Longfu Gate and is close to the palace gate of the previous dynasty.
The Emperor actually stationed troops there?!
So, the emperor had already anticipated that something might happen tonight?
But that's not right. Although Yuehua Gate is farther away from the harem than Longfu Gate, it's not that far. The harem is in chaos now, and they should have heard the noise a long time ago. Why didn't anyone come over?
Hearing her question, Nan Yan smiled bitterly.
Then he said, "We need to prevent the people inside from causing trouble, but not everyone can enter the harem. Tonight's situation is special, and no one knows what's going on with the emperor."
“…”
"Therefore, this group of people must not move until they see the tiger talisman."
At this point, she looked outside and said, "Now, I can't stay still."
Ran Xiaoyu suddenly understood: "Your Majesty, do you want me to take the tiger talisman and go to Yuehua Gate to mobilize troops?"
"right,"
Nan Yan nodded and said, "You are the only one who can come and go here. But——"
She looked up at the blazing fire reflected on the window, and could also hear the fierce voices of the people outside the palace gate, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Ran Xiaoyu’s reaching out was good.
But outside, there were dozens or even hundreds of powerful soldiers, which was definitely not something a single woman like her could deal with.
But this place is still some distance away from Yuehua Gate.
She said, "Can you go?"
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu was silent for a moment, then asked, "I'm leaving now. Can Your Majesty wait until I come back?"
These words have already disregarded life and death.
Nan Yan looked at her, was silent for a while, and said, "Of course I will wait for you."
“…”
"But, you have to come back!"
Ran Xiaoyu took a deep breath, then said: "I will naturally come back, but, Your Majesty, please wait for me!"
What the two people said seemed to be the same old thing.
But Xue Yun was standing by and understood everything.
This is a trust of life and death.
She felt a pang of sadness and a wave of emotion in her heart. She originally thought that the imperial concubine was a high and mighty imperial concubine, and the servants around her were just servants serving her.
But I didn't expect——
There is actually a woman like Ran Xiaoyu who can disregard life and death for this friendship.
And the imperial concubine can also entrust her life and death to her hands.
After saying that, Ran Xiaoyu squeezed the tiger talisman tightly in her palm and stood up.
He was about to turn around and leave, but he hesitated and turned back to look at Xue Yun.
She has never trusted this woman.
Regardless of her thoughts or the things she did after following the emperor and the concubine back to the capital.
Now at this critical moment, if she leaves, she will be able to completely control everything about the imperial concubine.
She said, "You—"
Xue Yun seemed to be aware of the suspicion and wariness towards him in her eyes.
She thought for a moment and said softly, "I can guarantee that when Miss Xiaoyu returns, she will see a safe concubine."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her solemnly.
At this point, there was no way to disbelieve her.
Nan Yan said, "Don't worry, Xue Yun will take good care of me."
Xue Yun turned around and looked at her.
Ran Xiaoyu said solemnly: "I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he turned around and ran out quickly.
At this time, the flames had almost turned the sky outside red.
As soon as Ran Xiaoyu rushed out, she saw that most of the side hall had been engulfed in flames. Aunt Tongyun and the others were so anxious that they tried their best to beat out the flames with their clothes, but at this time, the fire demon was raging and they were simply unable to resist it.
The side hall is only a short distance away from the main hall.
The fire would soon spread to the main hall. Ran Xiaoyu only took a glance and realized that she didn't have much time left.
So, without even having time to explain, she turned around and ran towards the wall. She was as light as a civet cat. She leaped up, touched the wall next to her with one foot, and flipped over to jump over the high wall.
She chose the wall in the backyard.
The front gate has been surrounded by Wu Wan and her group. If I go over there, I will naturally be besieged by them.
So, she chose the back door.
However, just as she landed, several figures suddenly jumped out from the dark night and surrounded her.
"Haha, the commander is right."
"They really wanted to escape over the wall."
"Catch this woman."
Ran Xiaoyu's heart sank, and then she looked up at the flames rising into the sky in front of her. It was the soldiers brought in by Concubine Hui Wu Wan.
They actually guarded the walls around the Yiku Palace and surrounded the entire place.
As soon as they saw her climbing over the wall, a dozen soldiers surrounded her.
Ran Xiaoyu's face darkened and she said, "Make way!"
The soldiers originally looked at her as if she were a mouse that had fallen into a cat's nest, but they never expected that such a little woman would dare to speak to them like that.
They all burst into laughter immediately.
One of them said, "Give way? It depends on whether you have the ability to do so."
After saying that, everyone drew their knives from their waists and attacked her directly.
Ran Xiaoyu quickly moved out of the way.
Few women who practice martial arts are very strong because of their physical limitations. They basically rely on agility to win, and Ran Xiaoyu is no exception.
Therefore, relying on her agile body, the soldier who broke into Yiku Palace just now fought for a long time but could not even touch the corner of her clothes.
But, that was one.
And now, she was facing more than a dozen of them.
He had just dodged two knives that were swinging towards him like wheels, and immediately, a cold light flashed before his eyes.
A soldier rushed up and stabbed the tip of the knife in his hand straight into her chest!
"ah!"
