Repugnant Gateway Chapter 264

Duan Ren and An Ying got onto a carriage. It was the Heavenly Ascension Sect's carriage.

After a moment of silence, Duan Ren asked, ""What are your countermeasures?""

You're not really going to give Xiao Qidao to the King, are you?

""I only just learned about Xiao Qidao, and this matter has yet to spread, but I guess … If the King isn't the King, or if there's something wrong with the King, it must be that the Palace of Embroidery did something, so Xiao Qidao's matter is no longer a secret.""

An Zhan shook his head. ""Of course not.""

Duan Ren said, ""There's something you have to be careful of. Right now, the power that the King still hasn't moved is probably part of the Black Tortoise Camp and the Green Dragon Camp that has been hidden even deeper.""

If you don't hand over Xiao Qidao, the King won't let you go.

The first thing to do is to declare you as a traitor and implicate the entire Heavenly Enlightenment Sect.

""Secondly, if the one controlling the king is really the brocade palace, then she will use this opportunity to wipe out the power in the king's hands, and your Heavenly Ascension Sect, in one fell swoop.""

An Zhan nodded, ""Thank you.""

Duan Ren glanced at An Zhe, ""I know you're wary of me, and it would be the same for me.""

I knew myself well enough that I had followed the king not only for the sake of the high officials and the high officials, but also to prove myself.

I have always been thinking, the Yan Kingdom is currently in such a rotten situation, if the future is changed by me personally, then how should I be proud of it?

But last time when the Gao Family attacked Heavenly Temple, I came to realize that I wasn't such a great person. I didn't have that kind of firm belief and courage to die.

""So … I still have to leave.""

He sighed. ""I can't change this country. I have to change myself.""

""Where to?""

Duan Ren shook his head, ""I don't know. After we get to the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect, you can think of a way to send Little Seventh Boss away. After that, you can arrange for your men to disperse as soon as possible.""

An Zhan said, ""Remember, the first time I saw you, I should be removing that female disciple of Zhuge Liuyun's … I have a question. Do you know that young eunuch who invited me to the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect just now?""

""So I guess you are responsible for monitoring Zhuge Liuyun, right?""

Duan Ren said, ""I've never seen this person before, but I feel that there's something familiar about his hand.""

After thinking for a while, he said, ""It's the smell …""

An Zaixian nodded, ""I also felt it, if this person is from Zhuge Liuyun's people?""

Duan Ren's expression changed, ""Your Majesty has no secrets from the start!""

An Zhan sighed, ""That's right, the King has no secrets from the beginning.""

The empress dowager had been playing with the emperor like a puppet, so all his struggles were meaningless.

On the surface, the men of the army were the king's men, but Chen was also loyal to the king.

However, in reality, the Infantry Division did not have much power.

The capital's garrison was only 11,000 soldiers, and less than half of them dared to fight to the death with Wang KaiTai and Fang Dao.

Five or six thousand soldiers had no effect on the situation. ""

""What's more …""

An Zhe thought of the news he had before he killed Li Changlu.

Li Changlu said that the reason why the empress dowager never stopped repairing and expanding the brocade palace was not only because she cared about her reputation, but also because there was an army hidden underneath the brocade palace.

Almost six years had passed since the death of the Swallow King. Six years was enough time for the empress dowager to secretly gather up an army.

The empress dowager had been letting off smoke and bullets, making everyone think that she had been defeated everywhere, but in truth, it was precisely because of this that her opponents all relaxed their vigilance.

Think about it, how many times on the surface did he seem defeated, and what did she lose?

An Zhe's heart began to feel cold … he'd underestimated Empress Dowager Su from the start.

Losing Li Changlu?

Was this a loss to the Empress Dowager?

Lost the Gao Family?

The Empress Dowager might have long been eager to get rid of the Gao Family.

The majority of the forces that had used the Gao Clan to hide the King of Swallow had been wiped out.

Now, with the help of Xiao Qidao, he could use the remnants of King Yan's strength to fight against the Heavenly Awakening Sect.

From beginning to end, Empress Dowager Su hadn't lost anything.

She didn't want to kill Mu Changyan, she wanted to control it.

The empress dowager must already know about Xiao Qidao's situation.

An Zaiyun quickly calculated the situation in her mind … If the King Yan and the King Yan had changed again, and the new eunuch who had just entered the palace was Zhuge Liuyun's man, it meant that the person controlling the King Yan had changed.

He had previously judged it to be Zhen Dao, but now it seemed that Zhen Dao was dead.

The empress dowager would never allow Xiao Qidao to live. The Duke of Yan's side was merely trying to probe him.

He turned around to look at Duan Ren. ""There's a small alley at the intersection ahead. There's an abandoned courtyard there for a long time. Get off from there.""

Duan Ren was silent for a moment before asking, ""Do you need my help …""

An Zhan shook his head, ""I don't have anything that I need your help with. It's a fierce battle.""

Do your best to let the Black Tortoise Camp escape as much as they can.

""They are all cannon fodder.""

Duan Ying nodded his head without saying another word. The moment the horse carriage turned around the alley, he jumped down from the horse carriage and rolled on the ground. Then, he entered the abandoned house through a hole in the wall.

Duan Ren laid at the entrance of the cave and watched the wheels of the horse carriage gradually disappear.

""Maybe you're the one who changed the world.""

Duan Ren muttered to himself in a low voice as he entered the house to wait for nightfall.

After returning to the Heavenly Awakening Sect, An Zeng quickly walked in. ""Now that something urgent has happened, I ask Gu Zhaogong to come over and discuss it with Mr. Gu.""

Lan Jing, lead a team to the Military Department and ask the Military Minister Chen Zaiyan and the other lords to come here.

""If they refuse, General Wang Kai-tai and General Fang Daozhong can escort them and say that I have just returned from Empyrean Terminus Palace and that I have something of the utmost importance to attend to.""

""Fatty, make a trip to the Gathering Shang Academy and ask the big sir to bring along all the experts and the most precious items. Be quick.""

""They might not be able to keep the courtyard safe any longer. If Empress Dowager Su makes a move, she'll get rid of our allies first.""

Knowing that his teacher was in a hurry, he quickly led his men out.

""Everyone put on your armor and take out all the weapons you can use. When I first came in, I had been trying to reinforce and transform this courtyard. Now is the time to use it.""

The hundreds of men from the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect immediately got busy. Although they didn't know what was going to happen, they could sense the urgency from An Zaiyue.

An Zaihai hesitated before entering the room. ""Auntie Ye and Xiao Qidao, please come to my room. Immediately.""

""Send someone to the Ministry of Justice and ask Tee to ride the commander, Tantacha, to come. You must come,"" An Zaiyue said after a moment of hesitation.

After a few more orders, an imposing aura began to emerge from An Zhe's body.

Back then, Ye Zichen was also very handsome when he was at the Great Xi's headquarter.

It was just that the current conflict was no longer as fierce as it was at that time, which did not mean that he no longer had the fighting spirit he had back then.

""Master Huo, I've prepared something for you for so long. It should be ready soon.""

An Zaiyue looked towards Old Huo, who had followed him in.

Old Huo went blank for a moment and then smiled. ""It was a little sudden, but I've been preparing for it for so long that it can be used at any time.""

""This is the first time that this old bone of mine has built so many strange things. I'd like to see if it can work.""

An Xuan said, ""It was a little sudden. We didn't have much time.""

Before I went to Empyrean Terminus Palace, I had already told the rest of the people to get ready.

Before I leave, I asked Auntie Ye to tell him Xiao Qidao's background and ask for Xiao Qidao's opinion.

If Xiao Qidao wants to stay in Fang Shoucheng, then let's fight it out with him.

If he wants to leave, I'll make other arrangements. ""

Old Huo said, ""Look at Xiao Qi as a real little brother.""

""He's my brother!""

As he said this, Gu Zhaoye ran over with quick steps. ""Owner, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?""

An Zongshi briefly recounted the situation, and when he heard that Xiao Qidao was actually the former crown prince's child, Gu Zhaoge's expression changed, ""This matter does not only depend on the attitude of our Heavenly Ascension Sect, but also on the attitude of the ministers.

So it's part of insisting that the courtiers realize that helping us is part of it.

However, it was too difficult. At the beginning, those people could only watch.

""What we need to do now is to take the initiative … and let everyone out on the streets to spread the news in the capital and make the identities of Xiao Qidao public.""

An Zeng nodded, ""Continue speaking.""

Gu Zhaogong sorted out his thoughts. ""Send someone to inform the big families and make Little Seven's identity public.""

And then they would invite the leaders of the military to come, and the military would definitely stand on this side. If anything happened to the King of Yan, Xiao Qidao would be the only option for those leaders of the military.

""All the forces in the Infantry Division that can be mobilized will be mobilized. It will be of the greatest help to us.""

He looked outside and said, ""These days, the owner has subdued those rascals, but it's impossible to depend on them to fight to the death.

All they have to do is get the news out as fast as they can. They're good at it. ""

""I'll arrange for people to go.""

Gu Zhaogong said, ""If Owner can trust me, I will lead this battle.""

""I was counting on you,"" he said. ""That's why I was so anxious to find you.

In addition, you will also be needed to predict what actions the brocade palace will make.

In a fight, you're not as good as me.

""Idiot, I can't compare to you.""

Gu Zhaogong's eyes reddened. ""Thank you for your trust, Owner, I'll arrange it now.""

As soon as the imperial court left, Auntie Ye and Xiao Qidao came.

""How is it?""

An Zhan asked Aunty Ye, ""Have you told him yet?""

Auntie Ye's eyes reddened. She nodded. ""I told him … although it's a little cruel for him, he still had to say it in the end.""

An Zaidao turned to look at Xiao Qi. ""Seventh Avenue, do you see the people outside busy?""

Do you know what they're doing?

They're ready to fight for you.

Your father is the crown prince of this country, and if Her Majesty hadn't killed him, he would be the king of this country, and you would be the heir to the throne.

I know it's a little cruel for you to give you the right to choose, but this is your own business and you need to give us all an attitude. ""

Xiao Qidao clenched his teeth and remained silent for a while. ""If I leave, you will protect me and leave. Without those weapons, many people will die along the way. Also, where can we go?""

An Zhan took a deep breath. ""Then let's do it!""

He strode forward and looked at the men busying themselves in the courtyard. ""Are you all ready?""

""Alright!""

""Alright!""

Everyone gathered together and replied loudly.

An Zaidao loudly said, ""Today, there will be a fierce battle for Xiao Qidao.""

There's something I've been keeping from everyone because the secret is too important.

Xiao Qidao was the blood of the Yan Kingdom's royal clan, and now someone wanted to kill him.

I'm his big brother, and I have to deal with it.

However, you are different. Back then, what I promised you all was to bring you all to eat and drink spicy food. However, I never said that I would let you all follow me with all your might.

Everyone's life is important, so don't let your emotions get the better of you and think about it carefully before you make a decision.

If you wish to stay, you may die.

""Those who are willing to leave, leave now as soon as possible, because they might not be able to leave any later.""

After a moment of silence, someone raised his fist and shouted, ""As brothers, we will share life and death!""

""As brothers, we will share life and death together!"""
