At Shui Sheng's command, half of the spearmen turned towards her.

Ye Qingwan was startled: "That Princess, I was just joking, why are you taking it so seriously?"

You little piece of trash, you can't afford to play, call for help, you don't have the strength...

Seeing that she was indifferent, he added: "Girls who fight and kill will never get married."

But the spearman ignored her nonsense and rushed over with his spear raised.

Ye Qingwan turned around and ran away. I won’t play with you anymore.

She had just taken two steps when there was a sudden "whoosh" sound of arrows from the palace wall, instantly turning the spearman behind her into a hedgehog.

Section 174

"Open the door." The voice of the Ninth Prince came from above my head.

"Ninth brother, the gate cannot be opened. If it is opened, the palace will be unbearable." The Tenth Master also appeared on the city wall in armor.

The Ninth Prince ignored him, turned around and went downstairs, found a horse, and rushed out, shouting, "Open the door..."

The royal guards guarding the palace gate outside the city did not dare to disobey orders and could only quickly open the palace gate.

As soon as the door was opened, countless spears were flying. Under the spears were Liu Sheng and Meng Tao. As soon as the palace gate opened, they immediately retreated in.

Meng Tao rushed in and ordered the Imperial Guards: "Shoot."

The Imperial Guards were usually in critical moments of life and death under the command of Meng Tao, so they no longer cared whether he was the commander-in-chief or not and just shot arrows directly.

Many of the spearmen who were gathering at the palace gate were shot dead. The Ninth Prince took the opportunity to gallop out on his horse and collided head-on with Ye Qingwan who was running towards him.

The Ninth Prince pulled her onto his horse and turned back to the palace, but at this moment, the man in black suddenly flew up from behind, passed a group of spearmen, and rushed towards her and the Ninth Prince.

Liu Sheng grabbed a bow, pulled three arrows, and shot them at him.

But he just flicked it lightly, and the three arrows that broke through the air were immediately crushed into two pieces and fell to the ground.

Liu Sheng was confused. Who is this person?

Although he was very powerful, Liu Sheng did not hesitate and jumped up to stop the man in black.

But just as he moved, he was stopped by someone. While he was watching, Meng Tao had already rushed out and started fighting with the man in black.

The two men fought so fiercely that it was dark and chaotic. When they faced each other with their palms, a circle with them as the center and a radius of three meters exploded one after another.

Even the special effects are awesome.

The master chef will probably be reincarnated into a demolition team in his next life...

With Meng Tao blocking them, they easily passed through the palace gate. Ye Qingwan turned around and called out loudly, "Master Chef, come back soon."

Upon hearing this, Meng Tao took advantage of the opportunity of fighting with the man in black to jump back, and at the same time slapped away a dozen spearmen with one palm. Together with the royal guards, they closed the palace gate.

As soon as the horse stopped, Liu Sheng took her off the horse and checked her around nervously: "Are you injured? Didn't I ask you to follow me?"

"Master, I'm fine. Look, my skin is not even broken." Ye Qingwan was afraid that he would not believe her, so she turned around.

She wanted to capture Shui Sheng alive and end the battle quickly. Even if she couldn't catch her, she could help them attract some spearmen.

In fact, she did lead away half of the spearmen.

Liu Sheng hugged her tightly, and she could hear his rapid heartbeat.

The Ninth Prince looked at them with a dark face: "I saved you and made your love come true. I am truly a great benefactor."

Ye Qingwan bowed to the Ninth Prince awkwardly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Ninth Prince was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became very angry: "Why are you thanking me? Why didn't you thank him when he saved you?"

Ye Qingwan:? ?

Did I thank you wrongly?

I've tried so hard to be polite, and you're just being offensive to me?

The Ninth Prince flicked his sleeves and walked away.

When you were with me before, you said you wanted to follow the plot. Now that you are with Liu Sheng, you don’t follow the plot anymore. I have finally seen clearly that women’s mouths are deceitful.

Ye Qingwan still couldn't understand why he was so angry.

I tried so hard to be a civilized and polite child, but he was not happy about it.

"Master, why is he angry?"

Liu Sheng smiled without saying anything, took off his coat and put it on her: "The prince sacrificed himself for others, which is really a noble cause, and naturally he does not ask for anything in return. If you thank him, aren't you insulting him?"

Ye Qingwan:? ?

I feel like you're kidding me, but I have no proof.

Seeing that she was confused and didn't quite believe it, Liu Sheng smiled and said, "Okay, let's go see the emperor first, and then discuss how to withdraw the troops."

The fact that Shui Sheng was able to launch several attacks at the palace gate proved that there was no decent resistance in the capital city anymore. The palace gate could not be defended for long, so they had to find a solution as soon as possible.

There were only the Ninth Master, the Tenth Master and a few Shangshu in the palace. The others were not allowed to enter the palace. I guess they have been controlled by Shui Sheng.

The emperor was poisoned, and although Xia Xuejian had saved him, the poison was so strong, and the emperor had been exhausted, so he couldn't hold on for much longer.

The emperor looked at the concubines in the palace crying, the eunuchs delivering messages reporting the battle situation outside one after another, and the intermittent sounds of swords clashing in his ears. He suddenly thought of his father.

Back then, his father was also lying here. When he heard him fighting with Nangong Qiuming outside, he seemed to understand his father's despair at that time.

"Where's Laojiu, Laojiu?"

At this time, the Ninth Prince, Liu Sheng and other ministers were discussing strategies to repel the enemy in another palace. Shui Sheng's men were much more numerous than they had imagined. Moreover, each of them was highly skilled in martial arts, and they could not be defeated by force.

"Then let's hold on to our defense. Prince Xiang and the Prime Minister have gone outside the city to ask for reinforcements. As long as we hold our ground and wait until the reinforcements arrive, we will have a chance of survival." Liu Sheng suggested.

Everyone also felt that this was the only solution for now.

So Meng Tao was reappointed as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, and according to Liu Sheng's defense map, he was responsible for strengthening the defenses of the four palace gates.

As soon as Meng Tao left, the chief eunuch came to summon them.

"Father." The Ninth Prince knelt in front of the bed.

"Your Majesty." Liu Sheng and others knelt behind him.

The emperor was half leaning on the bed. Hearing the voice, he opened his eyes reluctantly: "Get up."

Then he grabbed the Ninth Prince's hand and said some personal words, and then waved to Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng walked over, and the emperor held his hand with his last bit of strength: "I entrust my son and Dayu's kingdom to you, my dear."

Everyone was frightened by these words. They fell to their knees and cried out mournfully, "Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Prime Minister and Prince Xiang have already gone outside the city to mobilize the garrison troops." Liu Sheng comforted him.

When the emperor heard this, he finally showed a trace of relief: "Okay...Okay, the Prime Minister is the pillar left to me by my father."

When Nangong Qiuming died, his father kept talking about wanting to see Ye Chengfeng before he died. Finally, in front of him, he entrusted him to Ye Chengfeng.

He thought that Ye Chengfeng must have hated him to death back then, but he still accepted his father's entrustment.

He used to think that his father was trying to protect Ye Chengfeng. But now he understood that his father was trying to protect him. Even though he was a traitor who killed his father and brother, his father still couldn't give up on him.

Just like he does now, he also wants to choose a pillar of talent for his son and the country before he dies.

All the concubines and princesses in the palace went to the main hall to guard the emperor. The eunuchs and palace maids were also kept under centralized supervision and were not allowed to move around freely.

Ye Qingwan secretly followed Xia Xuejian all the way. According to the original novel, Shui Sheng forced the emperor to abdicate, and the heroine helped a lot.

As expected, she quickly contacted a person dressed as a palace maid: "The princess means that at midnight tonight, they will pretend to attack the main gate, but actually lead the troops to enter from the north gate. When the time comes, you go to open the north gate and cooperate with the outside."
