The deputy commander of the Jinwu Guards, a man Zhou Yingyou had bribed, couldn't help but feel like vomiting. Coupled with the sounds of being surrounded outside, he couldn't hold the knife steady.
Luo Shenyuan immediately waved his hand, signaling the Jinyiwei behind him to rush forward and suppress the deputy commander of the Jinwuwei.
At this moment, Lu Jiaxue, standing outside the palace gate, riding on a tall horse, wearing heavy armor, seemed to hear the movement in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and looked up in its direction.
It had dragged on too long, and by the time darkness fell, some of the people Zhou Yingyou had bribed were old friends, and some had been planted long ago. But their resolve was weak and their determination was insufficient. He was afraid they would be killed by the Imperial Guards before the imperial edict could even be delivered to the emperor. He looked at Zhou Yingyou, who was also wearing heavy armor, and asked, "Did you prepare two copies of the imperial edict?"
Zhou Yingyou nodded with a serious face. Anyone would be in a bad mood if they saw their careful preparations fall apart.
The fate of the Zhou family was closely tied to that of the Empress. If the Empress fell, how long could Zhou Yingyou, holding the military power, survive? How long could the Zhou family survive? Therefore, he had no choice but to force the emperor to abdicate the throne. The Third Prince was still the legitimate heir to the throne, so who could not be the emperor? Preparations were rushed, so naturally, a complete plan was impossible.
"That's enough. Tell the Third Prince to prepare his dragon robe!" Lu Jiaxue took a few steps forward, pulling the reins. The large tripod for ramming the door had already been prepared. Guards were stationed behind the heavy Daming Gate, and the muffled banging sound echoed through the palace, growing louder and louder, sending panic throughout the Forbidden City.
The lowly palace maids and eunuchs were in a state of chaos, packing up their belongings and hiding everywhere. From the Kunning Palace came the faint sound of a woman weeping, while the Hall of Supreme Harmony remained silent as always.
With the last sound, the door suddenly broke!
Countless soldiers rushed into the palace with an unstoppable momentum. Zhou Yingyou's troops first rushed towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Lu Jiaxue suddenly remembered that it was the same thing when he broke into the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. He moved forward step by step, knowing that he was about to reach the top, and felt excitement and restraint, and the ambition and desire that were about to break out of the cocoon.
I don’t know what Luo Shenyuan will do! Although the Jinyiwei are elite, they can’t withstand the human wave tactics at all. Lu Jiaxue is very clear about this.
When Lu Jiaxue finally rushed into the door, he also saw Daoyan sitting on the horse.
He was no longer wearing armor, but rather the same look he had shown when he fought against the Japanese invaders along the coast, with armor in hand. Mercy had completely vanished, and he looked incredibly powerful. Behind him was a mighty army, stretching as far as the eye could see. They must have entered through Xuanwu Gate.
"It's you!" Lu Jiaxue said with a smile, "Of course I helped you become the God of War, but now I'm asking you to deal with me. The fact that you personally take action shows that you really love him."
"My Lord Commander, I hope you are well. I am grateful for your kindness. However, it is best for you not to go through this door." Daoyan raised the dagger in his hand. "Set up the formation!"
Lu Jiaxue's expression also grew fierce. He swung his long sword, the tip pointing to the ground. The two groups immediately engaged in a fierce battle, a surging tide of blood. Daoyan revealed a flaw, and Lu Jiaxue immediately spotted it. He charged at Daoyan with his long sword, intent on taking his head! He actually forced Daoyan back several steps, only to be scratched by the tip of his sword.
Lu Jiaxue retracted the knife, touched the blood on the tip of the knife and smiled: "Daoyan, I have never fought with you. Now, you try!"
He was full of vigor and energy.

Darkness covered the earth like a curtain. Luo Yining had been tied up for over three hours, alone, and Cheng Lang was guarding her.
Luo Yining just stared at him, not saying anything or paying any attention.
"Luo Shenyuan sent you here as bait, and you listened to him." Cheng Lang held the jade pendant he had carried with him since childhood in his hand and asked her, "Do you still remember this jade pendant?"
Luo Yining closed his eyes.
"Two taels of silver, such a worthless thing, and I've been carrying it with me for more than ten years." Cheng Lang smiled nonchalantly. "You must think it's ridiculous, right?"
There was a rustling sound outside. He put the jade pendant back into his arms and asked in a cold voice, "What's the matter?"
"Sir," the voice outside was very weak, "The Queen asked you to take the person out."
