Chapter 984: The Shocking Change (Part 2)

The soldiers had already found the entrance to the tunnel in the library and dug it open. Miao Fu looked at the entrance to the dark tunnel and his face turned pale. Needless to say, Li Yanqing must have escaped from here.

The deputy general next to him said angrily: "It's better to kill all the Cao family and vent our hatred!"

Miao Fu sighed, "If it were an ordinary family, I had already killed them completely, but it was the Cao family! If they killed them, the Supreme Emperor would use us as a scapegoat."

"What should I do?"

"It shouldn't be running away for too long, so chase me!"

Miao Fu immediately ordered, "Get out of the house!"

Just as the army left Cao's mansion, Huang Qianshan hurried over and asked anxiously: "Have you killed Li Yanqing?"

Miao Fu sighed, "I am incompetent, Li Yanqing has escaped from the tunnel!"

"What!"

Huang Qianshan's eyes widened and he angrily shouted: "How did you surround the Cao Mansion? He actually escaped from under his nose?"

Miao Fu looked ashamed, "Neizhi will lead the army to chase after you!"

Huang Qianshan is also overwhelmed, so he can't do this like the Supreme Emperor!

Helplessly, he had to say to Miao Fu: "You lead the army to chase him, be sure to catch up with him and raise someone else's head to hand over the order!"

"Abide by the orders!"

Huang Qianshan immediately divided his troops into two groups, and ordered his deputy general Lin Hong to lead a thousand cavalry to the Huantanghe Bridge first to intercept him. He himself led 5,000 troops to Chongxin Gate. The tunnel exit was closest to Chongxin Gate, and Li Yanqing must have left the city from Chongxin Gate.

Huang Qianshan rushed to meet the Supreme Emperor. They could not delay for a moment now and must launch a palace coup immediately.

Miao Fu led his army to Chongxin Gate and saw his general Yang Qing kneeling down to apologize, "I am not strict in my duties, so I would like to apologize to the general?"

"But Li Yanqing escaped from here?"

"That's right! Bei Zhi just learned that the city guards who had killed Li Yanqing who had let him go without permission were about to report to the general."

Miao Fu's eyes turned dark, and he asked calmly: "How long has Li Yanqing been gone?"

"About half an hour!"

Miao Fu was so angry that blood was dripping in his heart. It was half an hour after he searched the Cao Mansion. He was delayed. He shouted: "Open the city for me!"

The city gate opened, Miao Fu led his army out, and the five thousand soldiers followed him out of the city. Yang Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and gave a wink to the guard team. The guard team understood and immediately led several soldiers to run outside the city. He wanted to set fire outside the city to warn Li Yanqing.

At this time, Li Yanqing had already traveled north for twenty miles, five or six miles away from the Huantang River. Lin'an City looked like a banana, long from north to south, short from east to south, and more than twenty miles from north to south, but only five or six miles from east to west.

They got two donkeys and rode for Li Pu and his companions. At this time, a personal soldier shouted: "Look at the head of the capital!"

Li Yanqing turned around and saw a fire lit up in the south. He immediately understood that it must be the army chasing him. Hu Qing'er whispered: "Huantang Bridge will definitely be blocked by news, so why not cross the river first."

Two miles east of Li Yanqing and others is the lower reaches of the Huantang River. It flows south for more than twenty miles and then flows into Hangzhou Bay. If you cross the Huantang River here, you will directly bypass the Huantang River Bridge in the north. The river water in this area is not wide, about thirty feet, or about a hundred meters.

The 150 personal soldiers brought out by Li Yanqing were all skilled in martial arts and were also very good at water kung fu. He was a little worried about the other fifty female guards. Hu Qing'er understood his thoughts and smiled and said, "How could my subordinates not be able to water?"

In conclusion, only Li Yanqing's son Li Pu could not do anything. This problem was not big. A few personal soldiers could carry him across the river. Li Yanqing immediately made a decision, "Cross the river!"

Everyone turned around and rushed towards the Huantang River to the east

At the same time, abnormal movements occurred in the palace. A rapid run woke Zhao Gou who was sleeping, "What happened?" Zhao Gou asked sleepyly.

Kang Lu stuttered: "Report to Your Majesty, something is not good, and the army has undergone a mutiny!"

Zhao Gou sat up in shock, "What's going on?"

"I don't know either, but I just heard from an injured guard that the guard at the foot of the mountain had already come up."

Concubine Pan was also frightened and panicked, "Your Majesty, what should I do?"

At this time, Zhao Gou calmed down. He understood that this must be the father's coup that had launched. He gritted his teeth in hatred, but he could do nothing.

Kang Lu urged: "Your Majesty quickly escape from the back door! The old slave goes to arrange the vehicle."

Kang Lu ran away first, Zhao Gou hurriedly put on his clothes, and the two palace maids also hurriedly put on Concubine Pan, but Concubine Pan cried and said, "Your Majesty, what should I do if the child?"

A sentence reminded Zhao Gou. A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and he waved to a confidant little palace maid, "You should go to the Saint-Young Palace quickly, take the prince to Baiyun Temple, and beg Master Meiyun to protect him. Afterwards, you asked Master Meiyun to hand it over to Li Yanqing. Do you remember?"

"I remember it."

Zhao Gou couldn't find the pen for a moment, so he made up his mind and bit his fingers. He wrote a blood edict on the white satin underwear, and stuffed it to the little palace maid together, "Go quickly!"

The little palace maid ran away in a hurry.

Zhao Gou must leave a way out. If both himself and his son are caught by his father, then everything will be over.

Then he took Concubine Pan out of the back door and got on a carriage. The coachman raised his whip and ran down the mountain road. Kang Lu and dozens of personal guards followed closely behind the carriage.

Zhao Gou wanted to go to the Royal Wharf to take a dragon boat to hide. If Li Yanqing can calm the palace change, he will come back to restore the throne.

But as soon as the carriage arrived at the dock, countless soldiers suddenly broke out from all directions, surrounding Zhao Gou's carriage, and arrows were fired at once. Dozens of guards and coachmen were shot down one after another. Kang Lu also hit more than a dozen arrows in a row, and died on the spot. Several horses pulled the carriage and the horse were also shot down.

The carriage almost overturned, and the bloody scene made Concubine Pan faint. Zhao Gou was also so scared that his face was pale. He saw the opponent's commander through the car window. It was Liu Zhengyan. He opened the car window and shouted: "General Liu, I treat you well, why do you want to rebel?"

Liu Zhengyan clasped his fists from afar and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not rebel. I am keeping Your Majesty according to the order of the Supreme Emperor. If Your Majesty can convince the Supreme Emperor, I dare not stop him."

He ordered the soldiers to build a shield wall and surrounded Zhao Gou.

Soon, Zhao Ji, wearing a dragon robe, walked over by hundreds of guards. Liu Zhengyan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on one knee, "Report to Your Majesty, the target has been surrounded by soldiers!"

"Very good, thank you for your hard work."

Zhao Ji turned around and said to Huang Qianshan: "Go and confirm!"

Huang Qianshan ran over, Zhao Gouzheng was frightened and suddenly saw Huang Qianshan and shouted: "Huang Aiqing, save me!"

Huang Qianshan sighed, "Now no one can save His Majesty, His Majesty can only save himself!"

Zhao Gou was stunned for a while, and he sighed and said, "Okay! Tell the Emperor that I am willing to write a decree for abdication, just to be a free king."

Huang Qianshan smirked, "Your Majesty is very wise!"

He turned around and ordered, "Come on paper and pen!"

Soon, Huang Qianshan handed over abdication edict to the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji looked it over and asked again: "Where is his son?"

"It seems that it's not in the car?"

Zhao Ji's face darkened, and he was dissatisfied with asking Liu Zhengyan, "What's going on?"

Liu Zhengyan explained with a sweat on his head: "Bizhi is responsible for the foot of the mountain, and attacked Zhang Wei, the deputy commander of the Dawei commander. The situation on the mountain is really unclear."

Zhao Ji's face was a little gentler, and then said to Huang Qianshan: "If King Kang could withstand the request of all officials and not take me back, there would be no such thing as today. His heart was too soft and he was not qualified as an emperor, but I could not make any mistakes anymore. Do you understand what I mean?"

Huang Qianshan was startled and sweated in a cold sweat after a while, and said, "I understand!"

Zhao Ji took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to him, "This matter is done immediately, no delay is allowed!"

Huang Qianshan nodded, took the small medicine bottle, left with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and Zhao Ji sighed softly again, "I have given birth to thirty sons, I don't care less."
