Chapter 771: Chapter 637: Return to Master 2_2

And if the Mongols invade from the north again in the future, the Jin Dynasty will lose its northern stronghold. How many subjects of Jin will perish then?

Sun Chuyun would rather that the throne remained with the Jingtai Emperor.

If that emperor cannot tolerate them, then their Sun family will migrate overseas to take refuge far from the heavy seas, there is no need to cling to their so-called ’wealth and honor’ in the Capital City; let alone push the northern people into disaster for the rise and fall of their family.

But Sun Chuyun’s face remained perfectly composed. "You’re right! I agree. Let me go, I’ll go kill Yu Qiyu."

Sun Jizong knew his daughter’s nature, and he immediately bowed his fist. "Absolutely not, Your Majesty! Chuyun is stubborn and ignorant, and she always thinks she is right. If we let her go, she will definitely go to tell Yu Hongshang. We just discussed the matter of Chengde in front of her, and she immediately informs Li Xuan."

The True Emperor Zhengtong then chuckled, "Uncle, you don’t need to worry. We and the Dowager Empress know Chuyun’s nature very well. What she did was commendable. Without her, how could we lead the Marquis of Guanjun and his Shenji right and left camp to Chengde?

Li Xuan is suspicious and wise, strategic and shrewd. If he stays in the Capital City, we have no chance at all."

Sun Chuyun’s face changed slightly, realizing that what she said to Li Xuan was probably a part of Empress Dowager Sun and the True Emperor’s manipulations.

At this moment, the True Emperor Zhengtong suddenly frowned and looked in the northern direction. "A good move by Yu Hongshang! Yu Qiyu has really borne a good daughter."

Those present all sensed something and their faces changed simultaneously. Among them, Empress Qian was ashen-faced.

They sensed that Yu Hongshang was leading several heavenly level experts, a large number of Xiuyiwei, and the Jingying Forbidden Army coming in this direction.

As for why she is coming, they could guess without thinking.

Apparently, Princess Changle intended to control the True Emperor Zhengtong, or even more - directly serving him a cup of poisoned wine, eradicating the source of chaos Zhengtong Emperor in advance.

"It seems we can’t hide anymore." The expression of the Zhengtong Emperor remained as calm as ever: "Send a message to Liang Heng, and tell them to start their operation early. The Jingying Army must break into the Forbidden City as soon as possible to help me escape."

He then coldly glanced at the people in the room: "There is no need to panic, and there is no need to avoid. I am ready in my palace. Does Yu Hongshang think she can take Nan Palace with just these few people? It’s a pipe dream!"

As he was speaking, the palace maids and Neishi outside of Chongzhi Hall all took out packages from various corners of the Nan Palace.

Inside these packages were magical instrument-level armors and weapons. These palace maids and Neishi were well-trained and quickly got ready, stationed on the four walls of the palace.

Seeing this, Huangfu Xuanji couldn’t hide his surprise: "Your Majesty is truly resourceful!"

He knew that the Jingtai Emperor had kept a strict vigil on the Nan Palace, especially after the Golden Knife Case, the Nan Palace had been searched several times but no leads were found.

The True Emperor Zhengtong gave a cold laugh in response: "These weapons and death soldiers were arranged by Xiaowei Yuan. They were sent into the Nan Palace just yesterday. Yu Qiyu thinks he can isolate Nan Palace and cut off my contact with the outside. However, he doesn’t know that my people can freely enter and leave this inner and outer palace city.

His biggest mistake was not taking away my emperor position, and using the title of the retired emperor to pay tribute to me, giving me the opportunity to turn the tide."

Just at this moment, the main gate of the Nan Palace shook violently.

It was Yu Hongshang outside who ordered a new Zhenshou eunuch to open the palace gate.

To everyone’s surprise, the gate was locked from the inside, and a group of Neishi could not push it open.

Yu Hongshang narrowed her eyes and then addressed inside the palace raising her fist, "Imperial uncle, there may be traitors causing chaos in the Capital City today. I’m here to invite you to stay in Wenhua Palace for a few days, please open the gate quickly."

She waited for a full ten breaths only to find no movement in the palace, but she sensed hostility, murderous intent, and hundreds of fully armored soldiers with chilling auras.

Yu Hongshang was stunned. Where did these people come from?

After Li Xuan left these days, both her Renshou Palace and the retired emperor’s Nan Palace were watched by her personally, and staffed with her trusted people from her manor.

While Yu Hongshang was puzzled, she decisively threw her "Four-legged Gilded Universe Star Cauldron" towards the gate.

"Attack the gate! Kill anyone who tries to stop you!"

Helian Fulong, Qian Long, and others immediately took orders, all taking flight and landing on the top of the palace wall. They took advantage of the fact that there was no protective array, so they directly invaded by jumping over the wall.

At this time, the four "Darkdragon Guards" next to Yu Hongshang also drew their swords.

They seemed to want to follow closely into the Nan Palace, but as they passed by Yu Hongshang, they all unleashed fierce sword glows towards her.

The look on Yu Hongshang’s face, at this time, was nothing short of appalling: "It turns out to be you guys!"

—Those who could plot against Zuo Daoxing in the deep palace, apart from Sun Chuyun, were these Darkdragon Guards!

She immediately pressed the "Great Seal of Jianguo" hidden in her sleeve, directly extracting a large amount of Dragon Qi from these four "Darkdragon Guards".

This caused a major drop in their momentum. Then, a pair of blue and red wings manifested behind Yu Hongshang, with the "Xihe Mirror" and "ShenChan Mirror" floating above while connecting with each other’s energy. This created a Yin-Yang Fish Diagram on her side, blocking the four long knives for a moment.

But what truly saved Yu Hongshang from danger was a giant black umbrella. The black umbrella fell from the sky, emitting a black glow from its edge creating an impenetrable iron curtain, enveloping Yu Hongshang within it.

Although the four long swords struck with full force, the iron curtain did not move for a while.

At this moment inside the Chongzhi Hall of the Nan Palace, True Emperor Zhengtong sighed with regret.

He had asked these Darkdragon Guards to mimic Sun Chuyun’s shot, originally intending to use this chess piece when attacking Qianqing palace.

But the result was that they had to reveal their identity early due to Yu Hongshang’s pressure, and experience the cost of a significant reduction in combat power.

However, if they could take the opportunity to execute Yu Hongshang, it would still be worth it.

But then, the True Emperor Zhengtong’s expression turned into a grimace, looking up at a Taoist in a crane cloak who had appeared above Yu Hongshang.

Huangfu Xuanji spat out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Longmen Department, Master Hanyuanzi! They want to die!"

Half a year ago, during the White Lotus Rebellion, Li Xuan helped the Longmen Department rescue Zhao Xixue, and no contact was made between the two parties since then.

He didn’t expect this leader of Longmen Department to secretly guard Yu Hongshang.
