Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

"what is that?"

In the dark night, the firework blooming in the sky was so dazzling that Xu Yuantu narrowed his eyes and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"This"

Several secret guards present watched from afar, feeling nervous for a moment, not knowing what was going on.

"Quick check!"

When Xu Yuantu saw the reactions of several people, he knew that they did not understand the matter, so he flicked his sleeves and shouted coldly.

Several people looked at each other, not daring to hesitate, and stepped forward, spreading out and rushing towards the place where the fireworks were blooming.

"Don't do anything weird at this time!!"

Unlike ordinary people in the capital, as a secret guard, he has a deeper understanding of the current situation in the capital.

The capital city seems to be peaceful, but after the rebellion of the princes, the fighting power in the city has long been depleted. It can be said that it is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. If someone has bad intentions at this moment, the capital city will be in danger.

In the capital city, outside the city gate, in the dark night, there was a faint sound of soldiers and horses gathering.

On the top of the city wall, it was shift change time. Those who had gone down the city had already become drowsy and were unaware of what was happening outside the city. Of course, they might have noticed something, but adhering to the principle of less trouble is worse than more, most of them chose to turn a blind eye.

The newly replaced soldiers smiled knowingly when they saw this scene.

"General, nothing will happen, right?"

Under the cover of night, less than a hundred meters away from the city wall, a young general in armor spoke to the man next to him.

"hold on."

After a moment of silence, a voice was heard. Compared with the young general's uneasy voice, this voice was obviously much calmer.

The fire was particularly conspicuous in the night. Suddenly, twelve torches lit up on the top of the city and then began to shake.

"General, it's a signal!!"

It was the young general's voice again, but this time the surprise was stronger.

"Do it!!"

This time, the man's voice was a little excited, but he did not make any pre-war mobilization. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him moved out together.

In a short while, under the light of torches, a well-equipped army was seen entering the city gate one after another. The troops were arranged in a long line, and there was no end in sight. A rough estimate showed that there were tens of thousands of them.

Even though such a large number of people entered the capital, the city walls remained surprisingly quiet, without any noise at all.

It was as if the two groups of people could not see each other. After the city gates were opened, they did not have any negotiation with the newcomers.

Time passed by minute by minute. Along the way, the army entered the capital from the east gate. Only the horses made slight noises, while the personnel were eerily quiet.

"who??"

Finally, a voice broke the eerie silence.

But the one who answered him was an iron lump.

With an explosion, the battle began instantly.

"kill!!!"

The lurking evil dragon tore off all its disguises at this moment, and the army rushed straight to the Daming Palace at an extremely fast speed.

The huge noise also woke up most of the people in the capital from their slumber. The common people, who were still immersed in the success of suppressing the rebellion, were even more confused. What on earth was happening outside? The weather was bad today. Could it be that it was going to rain again?

But the explosion that followed made them nervous again. They had heard this kind of sound before. It was the loud noise when the King of Dongping led his people to attack the capital. "Thunder bomb!!"

In the Daming Palace, Emperor Kang of the Ming Dynasty was awakened by the explosion of thunder bombs. At this moment, he did not understand what was going on.

But he had a feeling in his heart that once a firearm with great destructive power like the thunder bomb appeared, it would inevitably cause an uproar. If it exploded in the capital at this time, he was afraid that someone was going to rebel again.

“Dai Quan!!”

The deep voice was mixed with raging anger.

"Xu Yuantu!!"

Dai Quan had already gone to rest. After all, it was already the hour of Chou, the time when people usually sleep. The eunuch on duty outside the palace heard Emperor Ming Kang calling for help, so he hurriedly opened the door and walked in.

At the same time, a figure floated in.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Dai has gone to rest."

Emperor Ming Kang was in a bad mood, so his tone was naturally unfriendly. When he heard the little eunuch's words, he couldn't help but curse out loud.

"This old dog, I'm awake, but he's still not awake?"

But at this time he was not counting on Dai Quan, but someone else.

The leader of the secret guards, Xu Yuantu.

"Xu Yuantu, what happened outside?"

Xu Yuantu clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I just saw a huge firework appear in the east of the city. It was late at night and the timing was not right. I guessed something might have happened, so I sent someone to investigate. Then there were thunder bombs exploding in the east of the city. I think there might be traitors causing chaos tonight. I beg Your Majesty to order the rebellion to be put down immediately!"

There was no time left and the people sent out to investigate had not returned yet. Xu Yuantu could only give this answer based on his own guesses.

However, after hearing this, Emperor Ming Kang instantly understood that Xu Yuantu's guess might be correct. The fireworks were signals and the thunder bombs were evidence. The situation was extremely urgent and could not be delayed any further.

"Xu Yuantu, pass on my order. Order the Imperial Guards to attack and meet the enemy. Dispatch the Five Gates Military Governor's Office to suppress the enemy with all their strength. The special operations team is ready to meet the enemy. The secret guards will temporarily take over the defense of the Daming Palace. No one other than the people are allowed to enter or leave."

"Also send a pigeon to the camp outside the capital to quell the rebellion. We will attack from both sides and make sure these villains are killed without a burial place."

Xu Yuantu clasped his fists, accepted the order and left.

Emperor Ming Kang remained calm in the face of danger and arranged everything in such a short time, which made him quite relieved.

Orders were transmitted one after another from the secret guards. Xu Yuantu felt the tremendous pressure on him. This was the greatest danger Dakang had encountered since its establishment. Those thunder bombs exploding in his ears seemed to be thrown into the Daming Palace in the next moment.

“My Lord! This is bad!!”

Before Xu Yuantu could issue the last military order in his hand, a man covered in blood staggered in.

This person was the one I sent out to check the situation.

"The people in the Beijing Suburbs Camp have rebelled!!"

Xu Yuantu's heart skipped a beat. He had never thought that this would happen. The generals in the camp outside Beijing were all trusted aides of Emperor Kang of Ming. They were rebelling? Wasn't it just a big joke?

"This is impossible!!"

"Sir, this is true. Yu Lichuan and his men have broken in!!"

Xu Yuantu frowned. Yu Lichuan was indeed a general in the camp outside the capital, but this general disappeared in the battle with King Dongping. At first he just thought that the other party was sacrificed, but now it seems that is not the case.

"You can see clearly, isn't Yu Lichuan dead?"
