Chapter 397                   

Li Jun stopped talking, took the key, turned around and ran away.

Tao Xiying didn't stay in her room either, so she quickly walked to the lobby.

When she arrived at the lobby, she could already hear the outside of the palace as if it was a blowout, people shouting and neighing, and screaming constantly.

The yard outside the lobby was already full of servants and guards from the royal palace.

Tao Xiying said seriously: "All guards obey orders!"

The guards all intervened and saluted.

Tao Xiying said: "Immediately lock the door of the mansion. The servants are responsible for holding on to the door panel. All the guards are on the wall and ready to face the enemy!"

"yes!"

Everyone present responded.

As soon as people left, Hua Meier walked quickly.

Hua Mei'er asked with a serious expression: "Xiying, what happened outside?"

"Cao Ren, the governor of Liangzhou, betrayed the imperial court and turned against the Nine Kings. Now Cao Ren has led the army of the prefecture to break through Pingchang City and enter the city. It won't take long before they will kill to the Prince of Wu's mansion!"

Hua Mei'er's face suddenly changed, she took a deep breath and murmured: "How could this happen..."

Tao Xiying had no time to talk to her, and she said anxiously: "Sister, take advantage of the fact that Cao Ren and others have not arrived at the royal palace yet, you should leave quickly and go to Xiaoyang Kingdom to find Your Highness. Be sure to notify Your Highness about what happened here in Pingchang City!"

Hua Mei'er nodded heavily and turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly thought of something. She looked at Tao Xiying and asked, "Xiying, where are you?

Don’t you go with me?”

Tao Xiying shook her head and said, "I can't leave."

Hua Mei'er is not an ordinary woman. She comes from a famous family and is a proud disciple of Du Qingping, the head of the Ghost Sect.

Even if Hua Mei'er encounters an enemy, she can't beat her and she will still be fine if she escapes.

But she, Tao Xiying, couldn't do this.

It is no exaggeration to describe her with no power to tie a chicken.

As long as she encounters an enemy, she will only be able to surrender and will also drag down the people around her.

Hua Meier grabbed Tao Xiying's wrist and said in a deep voice: "I'll take you out!"

Tao Xiying stood there without moving, and said anxiously: "Sister, don't worry about me, you go first!"

"If you want to leave, let's go together!"

Hua Mei'er insisted.

Tao Xiying was a little anxious, and she said seriously: "Sister, I can't leave so many people in the palace and run away alone, and I can't leave either! You don't have to worry about me, leave now!"

"Xiying..."

"Stop talking, go!"

Tao Xiying said anxiously: "You must find a way to leave the city and pass the news to Your Highness as soon as possible!"

As she spoke, she pushed Hua Mei'er hard again.

Seeing that her attitude was firm and the chaos outside was getting closer, Hua Meier knew that if she delayed it, it would be difficult for her to think of the Prince of Wu's Mansion.

At this time, Xiao Cui and Xiao Lian came to Hua Meier and said anxiously: "Miss, let's go quickly! If you don't leave, it's really... I'm afraid it's too late!"

Tao Xiying raised her head to Xiao Cui and Xiao Lian. The two understood and forced Hua Mei'er's arm and ran out quickly.

Seeing Hua Meier being taken away by Xiao Cui Xiaolian, Tao Xiying breathed a sigh of relief. Now, she could only pray silently in her heart, praying that Hua Meier could escape from the city safely and meet with Li Yu.

It didn't take long, and Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan rushed to the lobby.

Tao Xiying briefly introduced the current situation to the two of them.

After hearing her words, Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan's faces also changed drastically.

Ji Yanyan pondered for a moment, waved her hand to Tao Xiying, and said, "Xiying, don't panic. King Zheng and I each have 10,000 troops stationed outside the city. As long as they attack the city, they will definitely resolve the crisis in Pingchang City!"

But how could she know that the 20,000 royal army were all blocked from the gate of Pingchang City.

They were talking, suddenly, there was a chaos at the gate of the Wu Palace, and then there was a shout of killing.

Not long after, there was another rumbling sound of hitting the door.

The guards of the royal palace all climbed to the wall, held crossbows and fired volleys at the state government troops outside.

The state government troops, who worked together to carry the wooden stakes and hit the door, were all shot and fell to the ground.

The other state government troops saw the crossbow arrows fiercely and raised their shields together. However, the fire speed of the crossbows was too fast. Many state government troops used shields to protect their upper bodies, but their legs exposed outside were shot and they screamed and fell to the ground.

Before they could get up, the crossbow arrows were ruthlessly nailed to them.

Just as the royal palace guards shot arrows to the enemy outside, a group of people walked out of the alley opposite, holding tower shields in their hands, protecting one of them tightly.

The man standing behind the shield shouted loudly: "Stop! Stop!"

The attacking state prefecture army heard the shouts and retreated backwards at the same time, and the guards in the King of Wu's mansion also stopped firing arrows.

The man, protected by many followers, pushed the tower shield in front of him, and then he walked out of the crowd.

The man stood in front of the main entrance of the King of Wu's Mansion, turned his hands back and said loudly: "I am King Li Feng of Jin!"

His words scared the guards of the King of Wu's Mansion.

People looked closely and saw the middle-aged man standing outside, with white face and black beard, handsome, medium figure, straight waist, and a full body. He was full of arrogance from the superior.

Someone in the guard recognized that this middle-aged man was Li Feng, the King of Jin!

Aren’t the Nine Kings all in Dai County and fighting with Wei Ying’s capital army?

How could the King of Jin suddenly come to the remote Pyeongchang County?

Li Feng held his hands behind his back, raised his head and said loudly: "Let your lord come out and talk to me!"

Soon, a guard hurried to the lobby of the vestibule and saw Tao Xiying, Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan. He intervened and bowed, saying, "King Zheng, Princess Xing, Miss Tao, King Jin... King Jin is outside the mansion!"

Tao Xiying and the other two were all secretly surprised.

Li Yuan couldn't help but blurted out, "My fifth brother is here?"

Tao Xiying turned her mind and said, "Let's go! Let's go over and take a look!"

In Tao Xiying's impression, King Jin has always adhered to the doctrine of the mean.

On weekdays, he was not visible or exposed. Among the kings, Li Feng had no special skills, so he was a relatively low-key one.

Tao Xiying, Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan came to the gate of the palace.

The courtyard wall here is erected with temporary wooden shelves, and many guards are standing on the wooden shelves with crossbows, staring at outside the wall with their eyes fixed on them.

Tao Xiying and the other two climbed up the wooden rack along the ladder and looked out.

I saw the one standing in front of the palace, wasn’t Li Feng or who?

Li Yuan poked his head and asked loudly: "Is the fifth prince brother outside?"

Hearing his voice, Li Feng turned his head and saw Li Yuan with a small head exposed on the courtyard wall.

Speaking of which, they haven't seen each other for many years.

At this time, meeting each other in this situation is like a different life.

However, Li Feng quickly put away his feelings.

Li Jingyuan is his daughter, but she is also his niece of Li Yuan. Li Yuan just watched Li Yu frame Jingyuan and ignored him?
