Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

"Let's go to Fengzao Palace first."

Chu Qian looked at the chaotic scene ahead and guessed in his heart that his fifth brother should have come in.

If I go there now, I will already be a step slow. What if Chu Xuan fails and the emperor asks me to protect him? Should I go there or not?

Considering what was happening outside, he planned to leave himself a way out.

Originally, the Marquis' Mansion and the Jia Mansion were both good escape routes, but the current emergency did not allow him to do so. The empress in Fengzao Palace, Jia Hong had taken care of her before, so she could be a good amulet.

"Your Highness, aren't you going to the Imperial Study?"

A man following Chu Qian paused, somewhat puzzled. Now that they had finally broken through the city gate, they shouldn't have gone straight to the Daming Palace, but why did they go to the empress's bedroom instead?

"Chu Xuan should have gone over there. We may not be his match with the remaining Thunderbolt bombs we have. I think there should be some left in the Thunderbolt Womb. Let them fight first. We will have hostages in our hands later and reap the benefits."

The man's scalp felt numb when he thought of the previous scene. The damage caused by those firearms was simply not something that flesh and blood could resist. If he had a choice, he never wanted to face those things again.

"Your Highness, what just happened outside?"

The strange phenomenon caused by the fight between Jia Hong and Taoist Miaomiao just now was naturally noticed by some people with ulterior motives. In fact, what they didn't want to face was that more than the thunder bomb.

"Is it just a trick, or do you think those things are man-made?"

When the soldiers following Chu Qian heard this, they looked at each other and shook their heads. If something like that was just a magic trick, they could still accept it, but to say that it was man-made was simply ridiculous.

"Your Highness, if we want to capture hostages, wouldn't it be better to go to Kunning Palace or Chuxiu Palace?"

The third prince Chu Ye and the fifth prince Chu Xuan are brothers from the same mother. Their biological mother lives in Chuxiu Palace. As for Kunning Palace, that is where Empress Fan Zhixuan lives. One is their biological mother and the other is their stepmother. In theory, they should be more useful than a concubine who has nothing to do with them, right?

Chu Qian smiled coldly.

The person he was afraid of was not the loser Chu Xuan, but the man outside the Daming Palace who looked like Jia Hong. Chu Xuan was foolish and was fooled by the Taoist priest, so he rushed directly to the Shenwu Gate. If he were to do it himself, he would definitely not have to fight so hard.

There were so many strategies, such as bluffing, luring the tiger away from the mountain, repairing the plank road in the open, and secretly attacking Chencang. Instead of using them, he chose to attack head-on. With so many preparations, the battle to break the city was still so difficult. He even suspected that his fifth brother's brain had been kicked by a donkey.

But since the people around him mentioned this, Chu Qian did not refuse. He waved his hand and ordered: "Send out a team of people, go to Chuxiu Palace, and the people inside must be alive. If the queen is dead, you don't have to come back."

The leader clasped his fists and replied in a buzzing voice: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

It would certainly be useful to capture hostages at this time. Even though these soldiers had not read many books, they knew these things clearly. Dead people were of no use to others.

"Everyone else, follow me to Fengzao Palace first, and then to Kunning Palace. I want to see who will win tonight."

Not long after, at a corner of the Daming Palace, the hundred or so people led by Chu Qian disappeared.

Chu Ye, who arrived here later, was stunned to see that there was no one in front of him.

Logically speaking, with so many people pouring into the palace all of a sudden, it couldn't be so quiet. Just when he was wondering why there was no one here.

Another explosion was heard not far away.

"Your Highness, it's in the direction of the Yangxin Palace!"

Chu Ye's eyes darkened. He knew better than anyone who lived in the Yangxin Palace, which was where the imperial study was located.

"Will it be the second one, or the fifth one?" Chu Ye's eyes flickered. In this operation, his side suffered the least casualties because he did not contribute in the battle to break the city. However, relatively speaking, he did not have such powerful firearms as thunder bombs.

If they were to face Chu Qian or Chu Xuan head-on, their chances of winning would not be great.

"Your Highness, how about waiting a little longer?"

"Since they used firearms, it means that the situation over there is not easy. They may have encountered an ambush, so they had no choice but to use thunder bombs."

"There is one more thing. General Xu Yuantu said that after we enter the palace, he will pass on a message to us, asking us to hold our troops in place for now."

Chu Ye sighed. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Xu Yuantu, but the current situation was very special. The military situation was urgent and there was no time to waste. Who knew how the situation would develop in the next moment?

"Also, there are unusual movements outside the palace. We have to be on guard!!"

Chu Ye gritted his teeth and then waved his hand.

"Go to the Yangxin Palace first. Try not to talk on the way. Go to the Imperial Garden to hide. Stay put for now, and then listen to Xu Yuantu's message."

The war in the palace was about to break out, so Chu Xuan brought his men to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. Unexpectedly, they encountered fierce resistance before they even entered the palace gate.

The secret guards hiding in the dark scattered a large number of thunder bombs at the places where people had to pass through to enter the palace. After a battle, they suffered heavy losses.

"Damn, why do they still have Thunderbolts??"

Outside the palace, the fight between Jia Hong and Taoist Miaomiao reached its most intense moment.

"Boy, if I don't die today, I will definitely slaughter the entire family of your mansion!!"

Taoist Miaomiao was furious and cursed loudly.

"Old dog, today is the day you die!!"

Jia Hong had no intention of letting the other party go. He had just used the dragon energy of the imperial court to temporarily trap the Taoist Master Miao Miao, so he dared to let go.

The sharp sword energy was like a strong wind, which dimmed the light of Fengyue Baojian. With Jia Hong not caring about the consumption, these two fairy treasures from the upper realm began the most primitive confrontation.

Taoist Miaomiao had never felt so aggrieved. In his opinion, this was not the way to use the magic treasure. Jia Hong had no idea what to do and only knew how to squeeze the power of the magic treasure. He looked like he wanted to die together with the magic treasure, forcing him to hide under the Fengyue Treasure Mirror and dared not move.

He was certain that after this battle, even if he won, this magical treasure would probably be ruined. Not only would its spirituality be greatly lost, but even the spirit within it would fall into a long sleep.

"In that case, don't blame the old Taoist for being cruel."

Seeing that the spiritual energy in his body was almost exhausted, Taoist Miaomiao no longer cared about anything else. He had to survive first. The Fengyue Treasure Mirror spun around, making a wailing sound.

Suddenly, a violent wave came, and Jia Hong's heart trembled. He seemed to have guessed something. He stepped forward and retreated explosively.

“That’s quite courageous.”

Looking at the alley ahead covered with a pink atmosphere, Jia Hong's lips flashed with a hint of amusement. The other party had a good idea, but it was a pity that the other party had misjudged one thing.

"However, this thing is not yours after all. If you want it to self-destruct, it may not obey you." (End of this chapter)
