Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 184
puff!

Shangguan Cheng opened his mouth and spit out a blood arrow, then his body fell to the sky.

"Shangguancheng is dead! Shangguancheng is dead..."

Accompanied by the loud roar, the Imperial Guards lost all morale and retreated hastily in fear.

The Empress Dowager thought she had everything figured out, but she didn't expect that the Imperial Guards had Yu Qian's internal support.

If the North Gate hadn't been opened, how could Yu Qian's private army march straight in?

Shangguan Cheng, who rushed to the rescue, may not die.

When Shangguan Fengyi heard the news, she was stunned on the spot and couldn't let go for a long time.

The north gate had been broken, so Yu Wenji immediately mobilized the Guards and moved to fight at the north gate.

The Imperial Guards from the other three gates knew that the situation was over and immediately gathered towards Changqing Palace.

There were about seven or eight thousand Imperial Guards gathered together, which was not a small force, and they immediately rushed out of Zhengyang Gate.

Yu Wenji moved to the north gate. There were only a few people left at Zhengyang gate, so there was no obstacle at all.

Unfortunately, what Shangguan Fengyi didn't expect was that the city defense army came to kill him.

General Wuwei led an army to surround the Imperial Guards. Under attack from both sides, the Empress Dowager had to retreat to the palace again.

"Shen Jihai, thanks to the Ai family trusting you so much, you actually dare to follow Yu Wenji to rebel!"

Shangguan Fengyi stood at Zhengyang Gate, looked at General Wuwei below, and roared loudly.

This Shen Jihai was actually loyal to the Empress Dowager on the surface. I didn't expect that this guy was hiding so deeply.

He is actually Yu Qian's confidant.

He didn't take action before because he wanted to see the situation. Unexpectedly, the Guards couldn't attack for a long time, so Shen Jihai mobilized the army.

"The Empress Dowager, you control the government and imprison the emperor. Today, I will clear the emperor's side and kill the demon queen!"

Shen Jihai responded loudly.

"Shen Jihai, you ungrateful villain, the Ai family will definitely confiscate your home and exterminate your family! You will not be able to survive but die!"

Shangguan Fengyi cursed fiercely.

"Conquer your family and exterminate your clan? This general will confiscate your home and exterminate your clan today! Kill me! If you kill the Demon Queen, I will reward you with 1 taels of gold!"

Shen Jihai ordered loudly.

"Kill! Kill..."

The city defense army rushed towards Zhengyangmen.

The piles of corpses on the ground were now getting higher and higher. At the same time, the guards who entered from the north gate also began to attack towards the Zhengyang Gate.

bang bang bang...

Three consecutive yellow fireworks came from outside the city.

"Hahaha... God will not kill me! Shen Jihai, just wait to die!"

Shangguan Fengyi burst out laughing.

"General, no! It must be Dugu Shenyong who came in!"

The lieutenant roared loudly.

"It's okay. The walls of the imperial capital are so high. My general has arranged a defense. It's impossible to break in. I'll deal with Dugu Shengyong after I take care of Shangguan Fengyi."

Shen Jihai is full of confidence.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man!

The reward of [-] gold inflated the soldiers of the city defense army, and they quickly broke through the defense of Zhengyang Gate.

"Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who surrender will not be killed..."

The city defense troops shouted slogans and rushed into Zhengyang Gate.

Many of the Imperial Guards chose to lay down their weapons and surrender, no longer having the courage to fight.

Besides, the Imperial Guards were there to protect the emperor, not the empress dowager.

Now that Shangguan Cheng is dead, the control of the Imperial Guard is naturally weaker.

The empress dowager, who retreated to Changqing Palace, realized now that she seemed unable to wait for Dugu Shenyong to come and save her.

"The Queen Mother, Concubine Yi and her son have been sent away. We can no longer defend this place. Let's go."

Eunuch Yan said calmly.

With such a ninth-grade master by his side, even if the situation is desperate, he can still fly far away and save his life.

It turns out that the Empress Dowager noticed something was wrong just now and asked Eunuch Yan to rescue Concubine Yi and her son.

However, Murong Yao was shot with an arrow. Although the arrow was pulled out, he was still seriously injured.

After sending away Concubine Yi and her son, Eunuch Yan returned to save the Empress Dowager.

"Let's go! Find Dugu Shenyong!" Shangguan Fengyi finally decided.

Eunuch Yan supported the Queen Mother, suddenly rose into the air, and quietly disappeared into Changqing Palace.

On the other side, Dugu Shenyong led an army of 30 to the city.

The empress dowager arranged for the secret agent to open the gate of the imperial city in the east.

Dugu Shenyong led the army to march straight in and kill them.

Shen Jihai, who had just entered the Changqing Palace, did not find the body of the Empress Dowager. While he was wondering, his subordinates came to report.

"General, Dugu bravely entered the imperial city!"

"What? Entering the city? How could this happen? Didn't I arrange a defense?"

General Shen was immediately dumbfounded.

"Reporting back to the general, it was the empress dowager's agents who opened the Dongzhi Gate and let Dugu's brave army enter the city."

The subordinates shouted back.

"What? Is there an insider? This Queen Mother is indeed insidious!"

Shen Jihai was extremely angry.

"General, what shall we do now?"

the deputy general asked anxiously.

"Go back to the Prime Minister and see what you dare to do next?"

Shen Jihai responded loudly and left Changqing Palace.

Lu Hao, who was sitting in the Supervision Department, felt thrilling when listening to the battle report.

Sitting next to his subordinates were four generals of the Guards.

They followed Lu Hao's instructions, concentrated their troops around the Supervision Department, and hid.

"Master Lu, are we really standing still now?"

General Fan said doubtfully.

"General Fan, General Wu Wei has already invaded the palace and joined forces with Yu Wenji's Guards. It would be very irrational for us to send troops now."

"Since Dugu bravely entered the imperial city and he has 30 troops, why do we need to go out and fight for our lives?"

Lu Hao smiled calmly.

In fact, he had lingering fears for Master Yu Qian, because it was impossible for Yu Qian not to know that once he attacked the imperial palace, Dugu Shenyong would send his troops to fight back to the imperial city.

Now that Yu Qian knows about this, how can he prevent it?

On the other side, inside the palace, Yu Qian and Yu Wenji came to Qianyuan Palace.

Murong Yuan was originally sleeping, but when Yu Wenji attacked the palace, the Queen Mother sent him away.

Shen Jihai arrived with his army and joined the two adults.

"I will finally meet the Prime Minister!"

Shen Jihai knelt down on one knee and said loudly.

"General Shen, no courtesy! You have made great contributions this time! You will be rewarded later!"

Yu Qian laughed happily.

"Prime Minister, Dugu Shenyong has led people into the imperial city! What should we do now?"

Shen Jihai asked anxiously.

"General Shen, don't worry, everything is as expected."

Yu Qian looked confident.

"Since the prime minister said so, the general will be relieved."

Shen Jihai was secretly relieved.

"General Shen, prepare your army and see how many people there are."

Yu Qian asked.

"Reporting back to the Prime Minister, the general still has more than 6 people in his hands. The remaining 4 people who are arranged to defend are probably some of them who have betrayed."

Shen Jihai replied loudly.

"You send people to contact other armies and surround Zhengyangmen from behind. I will personally lead the army to fight Dugu Shenyong head-on at Zhengyangmen."

Yu Qian ordered loudly.

"Yes, General Mo will do it immediately."

Shen Jihai took the order and left.
