Chapter 187

"The Queen Mother was assassinated, and Eunuch Yan will personally take action to avenge the Queen Mother."

Lu Hao didn't hide it.

Eunuch Yan is the personal eunuch beside the Empress Dowager, and is said to be the only ninth-grade master in the palace.

Since there is a ninth-grade master to assassinate, the probability of success is very high.

However, it is necessary to seize the vacuum period after the death of the two people, that is, when the group is leaderless, and launch an attack in order to take back the palace without any effort.

Wu Qingyu obviously understood the reason. After accepting the order, he activated the secret spies in the palace.

General Han, the Marquis' deputy general, has received orders from Lu Hao to gather and prepare the army.

Although the battle was defeated, Yu Wenji's army did not attack, so they were defeated and quickly gathered their troops.

General Han hurried over to report the situation to the Marquis.

"Master Lu, how is the Marquis doing?"

General Han said anxiously.

"Fortunately, he was treated in time and the Marquis' life was saved. However, now he is seriously injured and it is estimated that it will be difficult to command the army."

Lu Hao said, leading him into the room.

Dugu Shenyong was on the bed, his face was pale, and he was dying. Now he only had half his life left.

"Master Hou... Master Hou..."

General Han shouted several times.

Dugu Shenyong slowly opened his eyes and finally came back to his senses.

"General Han... Han, you now obey the orders of Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu, he... he is the person I trust most!"

Dugu Shenyong whispered.

"I will understand at the end!"

General Han nodded slightly, turned to look at Lu Hao, and said loudly: "Master Lu, I will be at your disposal!"

Dugu Shenyong glanced at Lu Hao, who quickly stepped forward.

"Master Hou, you...you take good care of your injuries..."

Lu Hao said with concern.

"Lu...Lu Hao, knock down the palace for me, kill...kill Yu Qian...Yu Wenji..."

Dugu Shenyong was on and off, and it was clear that things were not going well.

Nonsense, someone stabbed me in the chest. Is the situation okay?

If it weren't for his superb martial arts skills and avoiding the vital points, he would have died long ago.

"Master Hou, you have a good rest, Xiao Liuzi will definitely kill Yu Qian and Yu Wenji!"

Lu Hao said quickly.

Dugu Shenyong finally took a breath and slowly closed his eyes.

With his appointment, Lu Hao took over the entire army of the Marquis, gathering about 10 people in various numbers.

Because there were too many 30 troops at that time, there were still 15 troops who were ordered to stay at the gate of the city and did not directly participate in the attack on the palace.

In total, Lu Hao now controls an army of 14, as well as an army of 15 at the city gate, and his strength has increased dramatically.

I originally thought that Yu Qian would take the opportunity to kill him, but unexpectedly there was no movement.

"Zhang Zhongwei, my command post has been moved to Zhengyang Gate and I have sent people to closely monitor the palace."

"Wu Qingyu, send someone to bring the news of the murder of Concubine Li and her son to the palace."

"General Fan, lead your troops to block Zhengyang Gate and prepare for the attack."

"General Hu, lead your soldiers to block Xuanwu Gate..."

"General Han, lead the army and follow me, wait for my order to launch an siege!"

"..."

As orders were issued one after another, Lu Hao was ready to lead an army to counterattack the palace.

Wu Qingyu was indeed the spy chief of the imperial capital, and he soon spread the news of the death of Concubine Li and her son into the palace.

The soldiers who were still immersed in joy were suddenly disappointed, panicked, and seemed to have lost their backbone.

To be honest, if Murong Xian was still alive and everyone supported him as the emperor, these meritorious ministers would naturally be promoted to noble positions and enjoy unlimited glory.However, now that Murong Xian is dead and all illusions have come to nothing, how many people are willing to continue fighting?

At the gate of Qianyuan Palace, a group of soldiers came to inquire about the actual situation of Concubine Li and her son.

At first, Yu Wenji blocked the generals on the grounds that the time was not ripe.

However, the news was later told in a precise manner, and it was pointed out that the murderer was Eunuch Yan, the empress dowager's personal eunuch.

In addition, Yu Wenji could not hand over Concubine Li and her son. Even if they refused to admit it, everyone knew it.

"Master Xiang, what should we do now?"

Yuwenji asked with a grimace.

"Alas! I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. Now that the army is shattered, it may be impossible to hold on to the palace."

Yu Qian also sighed like a frustrated ball.

"If we can't hold it, should we withdraw first?"

Yu Wenji is now starting to back off.

"I just got the news that Lu Hao has now become the leading general. He is integrating the remaining defeated generals of Dugu Shengyong. I heard that he also wants to counterattack the palace."

"If you hadn't protected Concubine Haoli and her son, why would we have been so passive? Now it seems that the defeat is certain. It just depends on how long we can hold on."

Yu Qian looked bitter.

"Master Xiang, this matter is indeed the fault of the lower official, but the ninth-grade master really can't resist!"

"Concubine Li is my daughter, and Yao'er is also my grandson. They were killed, and I feel sorry for them more than anyone else!"

Yu Wenji's eyes were filled with tears as he spoke, and he almost started crying.

"Forget it, don't be sad. For now, we have to find a way out."

"Alas! Now it seems that the Great Yan Empire may have no place for us to stand."

Yu Qian sighed.

The Prime Minister, who is resourceful and farsighted, now feels like he is at the end of his rope.

"Master Prime Minister, are we going to escape from the Great Yan Empire?"

Yuwenji asked.

"Who said that the truth is about to escape? Now that we have reached this point, we have no way out. Mr. Yuwen, gather your troops and prepare to attack the Supervision Department."

Yu Qian was ready to go all out and fight Lu Hao.

If Lu Hao is defeated and the imperial capital is captured, he can even become king by himself.

If you want to be the emperor yourself, why not?

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, something bad has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

Shen Jihai came in a hurry.

"What's wrong? General Shen."

Yu Qian asked in a deep voice.

"Lu Hao has led the army to seal the four gates of the palace."

Reported by Shen Jihai.

"What? This damn eunuch actually dares to attack us. He is really brave!"

Yu Qian roared angrily.

In his opinion, Lu Hao, a young eunuch, has no leadership ability at all. Even if he was given ten or a hundred courages, this kid would not dare to take the initiative to fight them.

After all, Dugu Shengyong's Shenhou Army was rushed down by his black-armored heavy cavalry in one round. He suffered heavy casualties and was frightened to death.

"Master Prime Minister, what should we do now?"

Shen Jihai asked anxiously.

"General Shen, the Shenhou Army led by Lu Hao is now less than [-], and they are all new soldiers. They can be defeated with just one charge."

"You will bring your troops later, follow the truth and fight out. After defeating Lu Hao, prepare to fully occupy the imperial capital."

Yu Qian is ambitious and sharp.
