Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 934 Can’t wait any longer

"You mean there is a secret passage in his mansion? Then they may have escaped!" the emperor thought.

"His family escaped, so his parents must still be in the capital. Even if we have to dig three feet underground, we will find Jiang Fugui and us." The third prince snorted coldly.

The Fourth Prince hesitated to speak, but did not say anything.

Jiang Youzhen naturally wanted to call for reinforcements, after all, she had the tiger talisman with her. She asked Li Dongsheng and the others to return to the capital first, while she led her men to the nearby military camp to call for reinforcements.

At the same time, the puppets had already arrived in Beijing. Jiang Youzhen controlled them to find their families, but did not alarm them. He just asked the puppets to bring a message to their families, saying that she would be back soon and asked them not to worry and just hide.

It was a pity that the puppet could only convey her thoughts and could not reflect her family's words back to her. However, with the puppet's protection, Jiang Youzhen had more time to prepare.

Border pass

Ke Zhenqiu has been hiding with the second prince these days, and the second prince was seriously injured this time. Fortunately, he knows some herbs, so the second prince's condition is currently stable.

However, he was already exhausted after days of fleeing and carrying the unconscious Second Prince on his back.

Panting, he finally escaped from the pursuers and sneaked into the yard of a family at the foot of the mountain. He gave the family some silver and pretended that he was attacked by bandits while traveling with his brother-in-law, and only then did he get food, herbs and clothes.

He sighed. He had to go to the capital. Otherwise, how would he get the money to live on for the rest of his life? Regardless of the situation in the capital, his official career had come to an end, and he couldn't return to the Northern Ming Kingdom. So he had to get the money for the travel permit.

He couldn't help but resent his adoptive father for hiding the money and his identity in the capital, but he could do nothing about it.

In the capital, Li Dongsheng and his companions found a way to enter the city, but they only discovered that their house was under siege when they found the gate of the mansion.

They could only discuss going to the palace to find out what was going on. It was not easy to break through the siege and enter the mansion, so it would be better to go and see what the situation was in the palace first.

However, when they arrived at the palace gate, they were shocked to find that even the palace gate was surrounded.

After observing for half a day, they found Wei Zhonglin, who was fighting against the enemy guards, and realized that the emperor was now trapped in the palace. At the palace gate, there were not only our own people, but also enemy troops.

However, there is not much difference in strength between the two sides now, so the situation has been deadlocked.

"What should we do? It seems that Lord Jiang can't get any reinforcements nearby." Qin Yandong frowned and sighed.

"Jiang Sicheng is back?" Wei Zhonglin was delighted when he heard that. Wouldn't the tiger talisman be back?

"Yes, but in order to get help, she went to the nearby military camp." Li Dongsheng nodded.

"That won't work! All the soldiers from the military camp have been transferred here recently, and the rest have to guard the place. We don't have enough manpower, so we have to transfer people from somewhere far away. How long will it take to go back and forth? I'm afraid the palace can't wait!" Wei Zhonglin sighed.

"What should we do? We don't have enough people now, so let's try to delay it as much as possible! Since the other party hasn't taken action, let's keep delaying it." Qin Yandong said.

"I'm afraid the other party is also delaying time and calling for reinforcements!" Li Dongsheng analyzed.

Wei Zhonglin suddenly realized, "No wonder there's been no activity over there these past two days. Could it be that they're waiting for reinforcements?"

"It's very likely. We can't just sit there and wait for death now!" Li Dongsheng frowned.

"Then let's fight! With you two joining us, we will be even more powerful. We didn't have capable generals before, but now with you two, we have some chance of winning. The emperor can't be besieged all the time, otherwise there will be rumors in the future." Wei Zhonglin made a decision and decided to take the initiative.

"Okay! But before that, we might as well go and rescue the besieged military families in the capital, so that we can have more helpers." Li Dongsheng nodded.

After some discussion, they finally came up with a plan. Before that, they would try to delay the situation until Jiang Youzhen could bring back reinforcements.

Late at night, shouts and cries of killing suddenly erupted from the capital, followed by flames shooting into the sky. Several families engaged in fierce fighting. The people of the capital were terrified and dared not go out. Not only at night, but even during the day, the streets and alleys were deserted.

Hearing that the fighting had started again, the people were all terrified. They didn't know when the battle would end and could only continue to wait anxiously.

Jiang Fugui and his wife have been hiding with Pang Shun these days. Fortunately, there is food in the house, but it has been left for too long and the rice has a moldy smell.

"Eunuch Pang, I don't know what's going on at home. Has my son come back? I feel uneasy hiding away every day!" Jiang Fugui was very worried.

"Master Jiang, please don't go out. There was a fight outside just now. If you are caught, Master Jiang will be implicated." Pang Shun sighed and could only persuade him again.

The couple was restless every day. He knew they were anxious, but they couldn't even think about leaving! Hadn't they figured out the situation outside? If it weren't for Lord Jiang, he wouldn't have brought these two people with him.

"Oh! When will this kind of life end?" Shen sighed.

"Then we have to see who wins in the end! If it's the emperor, then at least our lives will be safe! But if it's the barbarians, then it's over! They will not show mercy to us. Once our status is low, we will truly become slaves of a conquered nation!" Pang Shun sighed.

Suddenly, he heard some noise in the yard and immediately extinguished the candle.

"Come with me quickly, the two of you. Someone has come in, and I'm afraid they're here to look for us." Pang Shun pulled the two of them, opened the small secret passage in the bedroom, and quickly hid inside.

The capital had been at war for two days, and the enemy had come to their senses. Wei Zhonglin and his men were planning to rescue the forces in the capital in order to fight against them.

"Father, in my opinion, we don't need to wait for reinforcements. We can just rush into Chengqian Palace. As long as we capture the emperor, we won't have to worry about them being disobedient." said the Prince of Rong.

"Chengqian Palace has been heavily surrounded and we can't attack it. But you are right, Li Dongsheng and the others are back, and Jiang Youzhen must be back too. We have to act faster and can't wait any longer!" said Prince Yu.

"Then don't wait any longer, just do it! I don't believe those who are guarding Chengqian Palace can hold out for as long as they keep on falling." The Prince of Rongguo couldn't wait any longer, he had waited too long.

"Okay! But there is still a way! It's time to activate the chess piece in the palace. If he succeeds, we won't have to spend so much energy to break into the palace." Prince Yu said.

"Father has a solution, why didn't you use it earlier?" said the Prince of Rong.

"This method must be used too early, otherwise it will be ineffective! Well, the time has come, let's wait for good news!"
