Chapter 248 Breakthrough of Kyoto City

Qiu Yeli turned to look at Li Xiaozhu, who still looked calm, as if he was thinking about something, his eyes were in a daze.

"Is Zhu'er tired?" She said softly.

Li Xiaozhu nodded sullenly, and put his head on Qiu Yeli's shoulder.

Qiu Yeli sighed, and the carriage became quiet for an instant, and Gu Jingyao also leaned against the back of the car and closed his eyes to rest.

The carriage galloped all the way, and soon arrived at the station.

After getting off the carriage, Qiu Yeli settled down and Li Xiaozhu followed Gu Jingyao to discuss offensive strategies. Now that Zhu'er has been rescued, he is ready to start conquering. As for Zheng Chengzhuo, he believes in Qin Yi.

The deputy general was overjoyed when he heard the news, he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

After deploying the offensive strategy, the lieutenant immediately mobilized his troops to boost morale and prepare to conquer the capital city in one fell swoop tomorrow.

——Chuxiu Palace the next day

"Princess, are you awake?"

After waiting for a long time without a response, the two guards looked at each other and continued to speak, "Princess? Miss Zhiwei?"

After shouting a few times and still not responding, the two suddenly felt something was wrong, pushed open the palace door and walked in.The ground was dripping with blood, Zhiwei was lying beside the bed, there was a horrible scar on his neck, the blood was flowing out, Li Xiaozhu was missing.

"Miss Zhiwei!"

The two were taken aback. If something happened to the princess, their heads would probably be lost.

"Still alive!" The two breathed their breaths, breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted to the outside, "Quickly send the doctor!"

The two hurriedly carried her to the bed, hastily stopped the blood for her, Zhiwei's face was pale, her eyes were tightly closed, lifeless.

"Quick, look for the princess!" The guards who came in from behind scattered and searched the bedroom, but they still didn't find the princess.

When Gu Jingcheng heard the news of Li Xiaozhu's disappearance, Zhiwei had already woken up and was lying on the bed weakly.

"Where did the princess go?" Gu Jingcheng stood by the bed, staring at her with a pair of eagle eyes, the imperial pressure lingered in the room, Zhiwei bit her lip, with a blood-red bandage wrapped around her neck, and said softly, "Your Majesty, the servant was watching the night for the princess by the bed. A thief came in suddenly at dawn and injured the servant. The princess should have been kidnapped by that person."

Zhiwei looked at Gu Jingcheng as he spoke, with worry on his face, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must find the princess"

Gu Jingcheng looked at her quietly, "Why didn't you call?"

Zhiwei lowered his head and blamed himself, "The servant couldn't make a sound, then lost too much blood and passed out, until the guards came in and found the servant. It's the servant who didn't take good care of her. The servant deserves to die!"

She said that she wanted to climb out of the bed and kneel down to plead guilty, Gu Jingcheng frowned, before closing, "That's all."

"His Majesty!"

While the two were talking, there was a panicked voice outside.

"Why are you in such a panic, it's inappropriate!" Gu Jingcheng rubbed his brows, feeling extremely irritable.

"Your Majesty, the army from Mobei is attacking," the visitor lowered his head and said with a bitter face.

"What?" Gu Jingcheng was shocked and frowned, "Where is General Qin?"

"General Qin led his troops to counterattack, but lost to the enemy. Now the enemy is coming towards the palace, and it is almost at the main palace now."

Gu Jingcheng frowned tightly, and hurriedly walked out of the hall, "Where is Concubine Luo?"

"The imperial concubine is currently in the palace."

The voice faded away, Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief, the wound on her neck was painful, she stabbed herself was worth it, the princess also escaped, and she was saved from death.

On the long street in the city, the doors were closed tightly, only the sound of cavalry and fighting echoed for a long time.

Gu Jingyao wore golden armor and rode on a tall horse, leaving no armor behind wherever he passed.

"Those who disarm and surrender will not die!"

The deputy general's voice echoed, and Li's army was being beaten and retreated. For some reason, General Qin, who was always invincible, was pressed and beaten by the enemy all the way, approaching the direction of Wangcheng.

"Open the door!"

Gu Jingyao gave the order, and it didn't take long for the palace gate to open wide, and the Mobei army quickly entered. The palace people shouted and fled in all directions, and Gu Jingyao gave the order to enter.

Qin Yi confronted Gu Jingyao with a long knife in his hand.

"Surrender without killing, the Li army has no chance of winning, why should the general struggle needlessly?" the deputy general rode on a tall horse, standing behind Gu Jingyao, and said loudly.

Qin Yi frowned and said nothing, and stepped forward holding a long knife. Gu Jingyao flew up from the horse's back, and the two fought together.

"Kang Dang." The sword fell to the ground, and Gu Jingyao stood tall, pointing an arrow at the man.

Qin Yi was defeated.

Seeing this, Li Jun threw away their weapons one after another. Gu Jingyao looked at the Hall of Qinzheng and said loudly, "Capture the emperor alive."

"Yes!" The soldiers behind were eager to try. After waiting for this moment for a long time, they immediately rushed in with their weapons, blocking the inside and outside of Qinzheng Hall.

"Master! The Emperor of the Li Dynasty has not been found!"

"I didn't find it here either!"

"Neither here!"

Everyone searched the Hall of Qinzheng, but they couldn't find Gu Jingcheng.

"Where is he?" Gu Jingyao frowned and looked at Qin Yi, who shook his head calmly, "I don't know."

Gu Jingyao glanced at him, "Look, search the entire palace and find him."

He is not the Holy Mother, let alone repaying evil with kindness. He even means cutting grass and rooting out the roots, digging three feet to find Gu Jingcheng, so as to prevent future troubles.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Mobei army captured the king's city, and searched for the emperor to no avail.

"A big living person disappeared out of thin air?"

The lieutenant general spoke suspiciously, his face was full of anger, he wanted to kill Gu Jingcheng himself, but he couldn't find anyone, he really had nowhere to vent.

All the prisoners of the Li army had been imprisoned, Qiu Yeli and Li Xiaozhu also entered the palace, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar palace, Qiu Yeli was secretly stunned, for the throne, they had to fight.

"Concubine Luo also disappeared." The soldier continued.

Li Xiaozhu walked in, looked at the man above him and said, "Father, Zhu'er may know where the emperor is."

"Princess, please speak!" The lieutenant general said immediately, looking eager to try.

"Father might as well send someone to search Luo Guifei's palace, especially pay attention to whether there are darkrooms or tunnels."

Li Xiaozhu bowed and saluted, and spoke in a steady voice.

"Okay." Gu Jingyao nodded, "Follow the princess' orders."

"Yes! The subordinates will do it!"

Soon, the Deputy General reported that a tunnel was found under Concubine Luo's bed, leading to the outside of the city, it was very hidden, and people had been sent to block it outside the city.

Gu Jingyao nodded, looking at the familiar surroundings, with complicated emotions, Qiu Yeli stood aside to accompany him, and Li Xiaozhu also stood below, with a calm expression.

Everything is about to be settled, and the only worry is the situation in Mozhou.

"Your Majesty, General Zheng is seriously injured and has not yet recovered. The imperial doctor said that his life is safe." The guard in charge of looking after Zheng Chengzhuo came in to report.

"Understood, please take care of me, and report in time when I wake up." Gu Jingyao nodded, and when he heard that his life was safe, he felt relieved a little, and everything will be fine.

"Daddy, Zhu'er wants to visit my maid." Li Xiaozhu was thinking about Zhiwei.
