Ming Zuo

Chapter 1333 Heaven Has Two Masters
Although it is the residence of the emperor, the scale of the imperial palace is small.In Daming, it wasn't even considered the mansion of the vassal.

After Yamada Yuei led the soldiers and horses to rush in, he immediately went straight to Zichen Hall.

At Jianli Gate, he encountered the last guard of the Imperial Palace.

More than 300 defenders stood at the door tremblingly, obviously terrified of dying, but they dared not retreat.

Yamada Yuei showed a ferocious smile.

"Kill them all."

Dongying people usually look humble and polite, but when they go crazy, they are more terrifying than devils.

Things have come to this point, there is no retreat, Yamada Yuei no longer thinks about the consequences.

The Satsuma soldiers only obeyed his orders and rushed up immediately.

Seeing that death was inevitable, the guards of the imperial palace exploded with great energy under great fear.

They closed their eyes, roared wildly, and waved their weapons to meet them.

Yamada Yuei didn't care about the battle in front of him at all, and led his personal guards to rush inside.

He had just stepped into the door, and before he could stand still, a chilling killing intent hit the door directly in the air.

Yamada Yuei was taken aback, and quickly waved the saber in his hand.At the same time, he retreated sharply, dragging the bodyguard beside him with his left hand.

Amidst the squeaks, the guard's body had been stabbed countless times, and he didn't even groan, and fell limp on the spot.

Yamada Yuei suddenly thought of something, and his voice was full of fear.

"Master Tengu..."

Before the words were finished, more than a dozen figures had already attacked from the door with a dazzling saber light.

The soldiers of Satsuma were caught off guard, and many of them were beheaded immediately.

The rest shouted, retreated quickly, and reorganized their formation in a panic.

The dozen or so figures were unreasonable, and rushed in again with gusts of wind.

The soldiers of Satsuma were already elite enough, but they couldn't resist these sword masters at all.

Their formation retreated step by step, getting farther and farther away from Jianli Gate.

Yamada Yuei was extremely anxious, and shouted like crazy: "No retreat! Absolutely no retreat! Desperate assault, we must protect His Majesty!"

Little did he know that he had become the target.

The sound of howling wind came quickly, like thunder and lightning, with unparalleled power.

Fortunately, Yamada Yuei had been paying attention to his precautions, and while throwing the saber in his hand, he quickly rolled it on the spot.

Even so, there were bursts of severe pain in his left arm.

Looking closely, it turned out that a heavy arrow pierced his arm.The saber he threw did not block it at all.

The morale of the defenders skyrocketed because of this incident.

"Master Tengu, Kamui is invincible!"

Yamada Yuei looked up in astonishment, and saw a samurai standing alone on the tower of Kenrei Gate.

This warrior is dressed in a blue shirt, and his movements are few and far between, as if he has merged with the heaven and the earth.

His right eye was covered with a black blindfold, not only did not reduce his power, but it was like a mysterious abyss, making people feel powerless to break free.

Seeing this person, Yamada Yuei unexpectedly burst into fear from the bottom of his bones.

Now it is no longer a question of whether Emperor Mingzheng can be held in his hands, but whether he can survive.

Just when his soul was gone, the soldiers who were sent to die had already retreated.

"General, the enemy's offensive is fierce, and we can't resist it."

Yamada Yuei came back to his senses, seeing that there was no hope of breaking through the defenses in front of him, and the samurai on the tower hadn't even made a move yet.

Yida Xiuzong has already attacked from behind, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the situation of front and back attacks.

At that time, the only thing waiting for him is death without a place to bury him.

Knowing that the situation is dangerous, Yuei Yamada had to make a choice.

"Retreat! Leave through the Kakinomon Gate."

The soldiers under him had already lost their will to fight, and they all felt amnesty after hearing his order.

The soldiers guarded him, turned their heads and ran towards the west.

When deciding to raid Kyoto, a rigorous plan had already been drawn up.

The Kameyu Gate to the west of the Imperial Palace has already been deployed, and it is their retreat path.

There is nothing to do now, so I can only retreat from here.

Seeing that the Satsuma domain began to retreat, the defenders calmed down a little, and only then did they feel scared.

Being able to persist until now without collapsing has exceeded their limit.It is obviously impossible to let them go after them.

The defenders looked back at the god-like figure on the city gate, and they couldn't help but feel reverence in their hearts.

Everyone understood that it was because of the arrival of this person that they were able to win.

That figure was indifferent to the battle situation under his feet, and there seemed to be a faint sadness that could not be resolved in his expression and eyes.

Seeing that Satsuma's goal had not been achieved, he turned and left without any intention of participating in the battle.

Not long after, Date Hidezong led the troops of the Uwajima Domain to rush to the Jianli Gate in a hurry.He let out a sigh of relief when he learned that Satsuma had not succeeded, but had already retreated.

He walked into the Zichen Palace, and seeing Emperor Mingzheng staying inside intact, his heart was ecstatic.

"Your Majesty was frightened by the delay in coming to rescue me, and I deserve death."

"I'm safe and sound, it's all thanks to my love for you. I hope there will be no more chaos in the future."

The young Emperor Meizheng looked around melancholy, not knowing who was her.

The loss of the chance to get rid of the shogunate filled her with pain.

Is the royal family still going to continue to be a puppet?

Yuei Yamada failed in his mission and retreated all the way, but encountered another group of people on the way.

This is a group of monks who surrounded an old man and protected him closely.

Seeing the rebels rushing, the monk in charge shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty is here, how dare you make a mistake? Don't retreat quickly."

When Yamada Yuei heard this, he couldn't help being surprised.

"Could it be that Emperor Meisho is not in the Zichen Palace, but here?"

If this is the case, it is true that the flowers are planted intentionally, but the flowers will not bloom, and the willows will be shaded unintentionally.

But looking closely, there was no young woman among the monk's guards, only an old man in luxurious clothes.

But suddenly he thought of something, turned his brain around, and immediately had an idea.

"Your Majesty has been trapped in the deep palace and has suffered a lot of grievances. Today, the humble ministers will come to protect His Majesty to revive the court, rebuild ethics, and restore His Majesty's name as a sage."

The old man was in panic at this moment, for fear that he would die unexpectedly.

But after seeing the Satsuma clan's flag clearly, he showed an expression of ecstasy.

"Ai Qing is right, escort me to a safe place quickly."

Seeing that the other party did not resist, Yamada Yurong was really overjoyed when he saw that the other party was willing to cooperate.

Immediately commanded the soldiers and monks to gather together, escorted the old man all the way out of the palace, and quickly retreated to the west.

Who is this old man?

It was Emperor Meisho's father, Emperor Gomizuo who abdicated angrily because of his feud with the Tokugawa shogunate.
