Chapter 60 Palace Gate

The visitor was not good, Cai Xinghai pushed Zhang Youcai and prepared to fight, and asked, "Who is the master of yourselves? If you dare to stop him, please sign up."

The figure waited for a while, "Gui Yuehua, the coach of the Hua Mansion."

Cai Xinghai's heart sank. He had heard of this name. This person was not an ordinary swordsman in the martial arts world, but a well-known master.

"Ghost Hand Gui Yuehua." Cai Xinghai sighed, "You are a famous knight in the world. Why have you started to plot against the ruthlessness and regicide?"

"Some people are willing to be foolish masters, so naturally some people will do their best for heaven. You are not like an ordinary eunuch. Why should you work hard for foolish masters?"

"Your Majesty is not a foolish monarch." Zhang Youcai defended loudly.

As the moonlight shone, Han Ruzi saw Gui Yuehua's general appearance. She was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a medium figure, slightly pale face and sparse beard. She looked more like a down-and-out king, rather than a knight with high martial arts skills, and was not worthy of the title of "ghost hand".

Gui Yuehua took a step forward, "Where is Your Majesty's bodyguard? How long will it take to hide in the dark?"

Han Ruzi held the hilt of the sword and asked, "Half Junyang sent you here?"

"Your Majesty asks knowingly. Please follow me back to the palace, otherwise—the order I received is that I cannot take the living emperor away, and the dead emperor can be."

"Is Junyang Hou loyal to the Cui family or Chunyu Xiao?"

Gui Yuehua took another step, "It doesn't matter."

"It's very important. Chunyu Xiao uses the Cui family and will soon betray the Cui family. If Junyang Hou..."

Gui Yuehua smiled, "Your Majesty wants to persuade me to be ungrateful, right?"

The last word exited, Gui Yuehua's figure flashed and rushed towards the emperor.

Cai Xinghai waved his knife to stop him. As soon as the short knife moved, his chest was hit by a fist. He screamed and his fat body flew backwards.

Zhang Youcai was shocked, but he didn't have time to join the war.

Gui Yuehua punched Cai Xinghai with a punch, and his speed did not decrease at all. In the blink of an eye, he reached in front of the emperor, reached out to grab the palm of the sword, looked up at Yue's sword, and praised: "It is worthy of being the sword in the palace."

Han Ruzi didn't even have the chance to move, and she was angry and said sternly: "Let me go."

"Of course, Your Majesty." Gui Yuehua hugged the emperor and carried the emperor horizontally on her shoulders, grabbed her legs with one hand, and still held the sword-holding hand with the other hand, and walked towards the inner palace with big strides.

Zhang Youcai reacted, shouted "Let your Majesty", lowered his head and rushed over, ran for seven or eight steps without hitting anything. He stopped and was stunned to find that Gui Yuehua was more than ten steps away, and was getting farther and farther away.

"Come and save Jia! No matter whether you are a human or a ghost, come and save Jia, a little later..." Zhang Youcai didn't dare to continue.

Han Ruzi, who was carried on his shoulders, was shy and angry, struggling hard, but felt a numbness all over his body and could not use force. He seemed to be holding a stream of turbid air in his body and stagnant. He had already developed a habit and unconsciously used the method of reverse breathing, but it did not have much effect.

"Huh?" Gui Yuehua was a little surprised, but the emperor was still in his own control, so he didn't care much.

Gui Yuehua quickly walked to the intersection. If he was just a person, he would be sure to jump onto the palace wall and carry the emperor. He did not dare to be careless, so he turned north and wanted to meet with the swordsman who was supporting him.

The sneak attack came quietly.

Gui Yuehua was prepared for a long time. The reason why he came to capture the emperor alone was to attract the secret master. In the story of the surviving swordsman, there were dozens of ambushers, but Gui Yuehua was an old man. At that time, he guessed that there was only one person on the other side. The reason was very simple. With such a master, if there were one or two more, the swordsman would be wiped out.

Gui Yuehua is not only a "ghost hand", but also a "ghost foot". She was still striding forward the moment before, but the next moment she had already kicked her flying hidden weapon back. At the same time, she put the emperor down and rushed to the dark corner of the wall.

Han Ruzi's whole body was still numb. She swayed and finally stood firm and looked towards the corner of the wall. After a while, she saw two vague figures fighting. The speed was very fast, but the sound was extremely small, mixed with the wind roar, and it was almost impossible to hear.

"Ah..." Someone called out, and the two groups of figures disappeared, and the battle lasted only five or six rounds.

Han Ruzi didn't understand why, so he looked left and right, and saw a figure vaguely in the north, but the other one could not be found.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Youcai caught up with him panting, not knowing what happened, and asked in surprise: "Where is Gui Yuehua?"

"He... seems to be injured."

"How could it be?" Zhang Youcai was even more surprised and lowered his voice and said, "Is it that... the ghost rescue again?"

"Don't worry about him, go and see Cai Xinghai." Han Ruzi became more and more convinced that the one who helped her secretly must be Meng E, but she didn't understand why she disappeared.

The two turned around and ran back. Han Ruzi could feel a numbness at first. After running for more than ten steps, her body returned to normal.

Cai Xinghai was strong and spit out a mouthful of blood, but he was not dead. He was limping towards the emperor. As soon as he met, he was about to kneel down and apologize. Han Ruzi supported him and said, "Get out of here quickly."

Zhang Youcai held Cai Xinghai's other arm and the three walked east. Cai Xinghai wanted to persuade the emperor to leave him behind, but the emperor just urged him to leave quickly.

There are more and more forks, and Cai Xinghai only knows the general direction of the Taimiao and does not recognize the specific path. In order to avoid the pursuers, he turns frequently and becomes more and more anxious.

When I didn't know which corner to turn, the three of them ran into a team of patrol guards head-on.

The inner palace was in a state of uproar, but the outside was maintaining an apparent calmness, and all the rules had not changed. It was necessary to inspect it. Han Ruzi met such a team.

The emperor and others were surprised, but the other party was shocked. There were very few people in this area even during the day. It was incredible that three living people suddenly appeared in the middle of the night.

"Who?" asked one person, and more than a dozen soldiers scattered and pointed the spear in their hands at the "Palace Breakers".

Cai Xinghai was very happy. As long as it was not those swordsmen, things would be much easier. He immediately said: "Put down the weapons, we are people in the palace."

Cai Xinghai was quite calm and did not immediately say the word "Emperor".

The soldiers were puzzled. Although they did not retract their weapons, they did not attack immediately.

"Who are you? Why did the people in the palace come outside? Don't you know the nightclub is under the curfew?" said the officer who led the lead.

"Don't ask so much, take us to see the supervisor on duty immediately." Cai Xinghai said sternly.

The soldiers were becoming increasingly inaccurate. Even though it was dark, they could still recognize the clothes of the two eunuchs. As for the other person's outfit, they couldn't see clearly. Since they were holding the fat eunuch, they must be the little eunuch in the palace.

The officer turned his head and said to a soldier, "Light the light."

The palace guards usually do not light the lights when patrolling, but they all carry lanterns and flints, which can ignite the lights at any time.

"No!" Cai Xinghai shouted, not wanting a group of ordinary soldiers to recognize the emperor.

The eunuch's identity and condescending tone suppressed the soldiers opposite him. The officer raised his hand and signaled his subordinates not to light the lights for the time being, "Okay, come with me to see the new General of the Central Army."

Han Ruzi was shocked when she heard this, "Is it Junyang Hou Huabian?"

"So bold, you dare to call me the name of the master. Who are you?" The officer's confidence gradually faded, and he was increasingly unable to understand the origins of these three people.

Cai Xinghai was also shocked. Gui Yuehua from the Hua Mansion had just kidnapped the emperor. Going to see Junyang Marquis was like falling into a trap. "Who is the deputy general on duty? Take us to see him first."

"Mingmen Lang Liu Kunsheng, Lord Liu, is not far from here, otherwise you will go to see him first?" The officer's tone softened. Anyway, he was not qualified to go directly to see General Zhonglang. It would be better to give these three people to Gongmenlang.

"Okay." Han Ruzi agreed that only a few ministers involved in the rebellion plan of the Imperial Concubine and others. As long as they see a loyal minister, things will be much easier.

The soldiers turned around and protected the three "eunuchs" in the middle and took them to see their boss. Cai Xinghai breathed a little relieved, and Zhang Youcai frequently left the line and watched back, always afraid that the swordsmen would catch up again.

Gongmenlang is not a high-ranking official, but his responsibilities are very heavy. A small mistake in the management area is also a serious crime. Liu Kunsheng had been uneasy and felt that the replacement of Zhonglang during the day was too strange. When he heard that three eunuchs appeared inexplicably near the East Palace, he was shocked and immediately went out to check.

He saw the unusual boy at a glance.

The ordinary soldiers guarding the palace may never see the emperor and concubines in their lifetime. Liu Kunsheng has seen it several times, but it was during the reign of Emperor Wu and Emperor Huan, so he did not recognize him as his son, but he could accurately identify the emperor's clothes in the dark.

"You..." Liu Kunsheng is in his fifties and is not in good health. He was shocked and fell to the ground.

Cai Xinghai ignored the pain in his feet and stepped forward a few steps, helped Liu Kunsheng up, and whispered: "Go in and talk."

Liu Kunsheng nodded repeatedly, invited three "eunuchs" to the house, and said sternly to the escort soldiers: "No one is allowed to leave if they stay here."

Everyone followed the orders, but they couldn't help but whispered. Finally, they came to the unanimous conclusion: the uninhabited East Palace was haunted again.

There were still a few people in the room on duty, all of whom were driven out by Liu Kunsheng. Then they turned around and looked carefully. After a moment, they had no doubts in their hearts and kowtowed, "Liu Kunsheng, the humble official, kowtowed to Your Majesty."

The room was very simple, with only one bed and a few stools. There was an oil lamp on the table. Han Ruzi did not sit. He held Taizu's sword in his hands and said to Liu Kunsheng: "I want to leave the palace, can you help?"

Liu Kunsheng raised his head, "This... Your Majesty's departure from the palace is a big deal. He is a humble position, and he is not allowed to be a humble position..."

"Can't the emperor make the decision?" Han Ruzi was anxious, but his face did not show. "Marquis Junyang rebelled, and his imperial edict was false and he was not qualified to serve as the General of the Central Army."

Liu Kunsheng had a premonition, and when he heard the emperor telling the facts himself, he was still shocked. He thought for a while and asked, "Who is Your Majesty going to see when he leaves the palace?"

"I want to meet the minister outside." Han Ruzi wanted to look for Prime Minister Yin Wuhe, but he didn't say it out.

"An accident happened in the palace?"

"The Empress Dowager was kidnapped by traitors, and I want to gather all the ministers to rescue him." Han Ruzi knew that many ministers were loyal to the Empress Dowager.

Liu Kunsheng made a fuss and said, "Since that's the case, there is no need to find the ministers outside. Since Your Majesty has left the palace, you can personally remove the official position of Junyang Hou Hua Bin. Your Majesty shouted, who dares to refuse to obey the guards inside and outside?"

Han Ruzi felt that this was also a solution. She was considering it. A soldier outside whispered: "General Hua is here!"
