The battle outside was getting louder and louder. It could be seen that the guards on the streets outside had gradually fallen. Hao Yun Tu, who was listening attentively, waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
The heads of the three sects looked at each other and cupped their hands towards Hao Yun Tu.
Now that the Crown Prince had been deposed, they were not willing to take Hao Yun Tu with them.
What if they brought him to Huyan Wuhen? If Huyan Wuhen followed Hao Yun Tu's words as the Emperor, how could the three of them bear it? It was the three of them who wanted to depose Hao Yun Tu. Now that Hao Yun Tu's power and status were restored, wouldn't it be their fault that the situation had become like this?
Since Hao Yun Tu was willing to stay here, they were willing to go with the flow and help Hao Yun Tu. They could also avoid embarrassing themselves.
Three Thousand Miles called out, "Let's go!"
Hao Qingqing, who had witnessed her mother and brother being deposed, suddenly said, "I won't go, I'll stay and protect Imperial Father!"
Everyone was startled. Pei Sanniang appeared in the hall with the baby in her arms, "Princess, even if you don't think for yourself, you have to think for the child!"
Hao Qingqing shook her head, choking with sobs, "Sanniang, help me take care of the child. Help me and the two Huyan brothers' children. You must send them to their grandfather."
Pei Sanniang was anxious, "Princess, now is not the time for you to be willful."
Hao Yun Tu said in a low voice, "Qingqing, Imperial Father is already satisfied with your words. Go, go immediately!"
His attitude towards this daughter was obviously different from those who were executed at the bottom of the stairs. Of course, it was also because she was the daughter-in-law of the Huyan family.
Hao Qingqing cried bitterly, "How can I go? Do you want me to watch as Mother and Elder Brother work as servants? Do you want me to watch Mother and Elder Brother be put to death? Do I have to abandon my father? Imperial Father, tell me, what should I do? "
Hao Yun Tu's cheeks tightened as he looked at his most beloved daughter. He didn't know how this daughter, who had never suffered any setbacks, was coping with the successive setbacks. She was once naive, but now she was in pain.
Hao Qingqing wiped her tears and looked back at Huyan Wei, "Idiot! Take your daughter away. If you let her suffer in the future, I won't let you off even if I become a ghost. "
Huyan Wei, who had been like a fool, finally reacted, but he smiled bitterly, "Go? Go my ass! My father gave me a military order to protect His Majesty. If I couldn't bring His Majesty out of here alive, I wouldn't be able to go back alive either. I thought it wouldn't be a big problem, but I didn't expect you to be so troublesome. I f * cking wrote a military order to my father and patted my chest as a guarantee. Military order, do you know what it is? "
Then, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound of battle. The Huyan Clan's generals were bathed in blood and fighting. How could he escape by himself?
Everyone was left speechless. The faces of the leaders of the three major sects darkened. They could leave anyone behind, but how could they not leave this one behind? This was the only one of Huyan Wuhen's three sons left. If they abandoned this one and ran away, they wouldn't be able to explain themselves to Huyan Wuhen.
Yu Wen Yan: "Great Commander, don't make a fuss. Come with us immediately. We will speak for you on the Great General's side."
Hu Yanwei smiled bitterly, "Sect Leader Yuwen, you make it sound so easy. I've already made a military order. I'm sure you've all heard of my father's military law. He definitely won't show favoritism. In addition, I've left so many of my family's generals behind to escape. He'll definitely kill me! Why don't you take Her Majesty away as well? "
Beixuan did not continue the topic of taking away the Vast Cloud Painting and said in a low voice, "With us here, what are you afraid of?"
They didn't care whether or not Huyan Wuhen would use military law against Huyan Wei. They only wanted to bring Huyan Wei back and give Huyan Wuhen an explanation. The rest was up to the Huyan Family.
Vast Cloud Tu understood their thoughts all too well. He spoke up. "Just let the couple stay. As for the chief general, the three Sect Masters can just say that it was my idea."
The crowd didn't know what he was thinking.
But to a certain extent, he also understood Huyan Wuhen. The military law was strict and ruthless. Huyan Wei might still have a chance to live if he stayed behind. But if he really went to Huyan Wuhen, Huyan Wuhen would definitely not let him off. If it were someone else, Huyan Wuhen might have shown mercy. But his own son had violated military law. He would definitely not let him off. He would definitely be beheaded!
Letting Huyan Wei go back to die would be a disgrace to the Huyan Family. Saying this was also giving the three Sect Masters a way out.
The three Sect Masters looked at each other. It wasn't that they didn't want to save him. It was the Emperor's decree. Huyan Wuhen would naturally be able to explain himself.
Yu Wen Yan asked again, "Great Commander, are you really not leaving?"
Huyan Wei sighed. "Who asked me to have such a bitter life? I was born in the Huyan Family. I can't leave even if I wanted to!"
"If that's the case, then we won't force you." Yu Wen Yan's words ended the matter.
Hao Yun Tu suddenly exhorted, "Three Sect Masters, you must escort the Great General's grandson to safety. Do not let the Great General have no descendants!"
The three Sect Masters nodded. They really couldn't afford to waste any more time. The longer they delayed, the more the sect's strength would be depleted. They quickly waved their hands and ordered the sect's disciples to retreat.
Huyan Wei also hurriedly ordered the Imperial Guards to gather and concentrate their strength to resist. Perhaps they could hold on for a while longer.
A group of flying mounts carried people and soared into the sky. The cultivators who had gathered on the ground also gathered into groups and rushed in one direction to quickly break out of the encirclement.
Whether it was the cultivators who left in the sky or the cultivators who broke out of the encirclement on the ground, they didn't encounter much resistance.
This was also what the rebel army hoped to see. If these cultivators didn't leave, the rebel army wouldn't be able to completely pacify the Qi Capital. Only when these cultivators left could they quickly and thoroughly take down the Qi Capital.
The rebel army's cultivators also didn't want the Qi Capital's cultivators to fight to the end. That would also cause them great losses.
When they saw the city's cultivators fleeing, they didn't bother them and almost let them go. If they really forced the other side into a desperate situation, no one would have an easy time.
Most of the city's cultivators retreated, but not all of them did. There were still a few who hid in the dark. It was impossible to not leave any eyes and ears behind.
With the retreat of the city's cultivators, the remnants of the Qi Army who were fighting on the streets and alleys lost the ability to resist. They were faced with two choices: either surrender or be annihilated.
Without the help of the cultivators, the rebel army had the help of cultivators. The Imperial Guards of the Imperial Palace couldn't stop the rebel army and retreated in defeat.
The Imperial Guards retreated to the surroundings of the main palace hall, their backs facing the hall and their faces facing the enemy.
The howling rebel army surged into the palace like a tidal wave, surrounding the main palace hall and forcing the remaining Imperial Guards into a desperate situation.
Hu Yanwei stood on the steps with his sword in hand. He looked left and right at the Huyan Residence's family guards who had retreated to his side. Each of them was panting and covered in blood. It was obvious that they had just experienced a fierce battle. Some of the family guards could no longer be seen, and most likely would never be seen again.
Inside the hall, Hao Yuntu sat on the Emperor's throne with his sword, staring at the dense mass of rebel army outside the hall.
Tears streamed down Hao Qingqing's face, and she wiped them away from time to time. She held an oil lamp in her hand, and under Hao Yuntu's orders, she lit fires all around the hall.
The hundreds of oil lamps on the two sides of the hall were originally used for illumination, but now they were all used by Hao Qingqing as fuel.
Soon, the hall was set ablaze.
After lighting the fires, Hao Qingqing walked to her father's side and sat by his feet. She lay on her father's lap and looked at Hu Yanwei's armored back outside the door. Suddenly, she smiled through her tears. "Father, this idiot is quite decent."
Hao Yuntu patted her head. "I didn't expect that in the end, I would have a daughter and son-in-law to accompany me. Father didn't dote on you for nothing."
Hu Yanwei looked back into the hall and saw the father and daughter in the raging flames. His cheeks tightened, and he resolutely turned his head to look at the enemy. He waved his sword and shouted angrily, "Archers, get ready!"
The archers of the Imperial Guard, who were using the layers of carved stone railings as cover, immediately nocked their arrows, and the shield bearers cooperated.
A general in the rebel army also shouted, "Archers, get ready!"
Gu Yuanda, who was riding his horse, approached the front of the divided rebel army. When he saw Hu Yanwei on the steps, he was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that Huyan Wuhen's son hadn't left, and was actually still here. He was immediately overjoyed!
If he could capture Huyan Wuhen's son alive, wouldn't he have more bargaining chips in his hands when facing the encirclement of Huyan Wuhen's army?
He immediately raised his hand to signal the army not to act rashly. He shouted, "Hu Yanwei, do you still recognize me?"
Hu Yanwei laughed heartily. "Every festival, you come to my house to pay your respects, Great General Gu. How could I not recognize you? Your son often comes to find me and invites me to the brothel to have fun. I'm afraid you were the one behind this, right? "
"That's right. In order to flatter me, your son often brings your concubines out to accompany me. I don't know if you know this, but I've slept with every single one of your concubines. I'm guessing you know this. You're just deliberately turning a blind eye to it. What can a traitor like you not do? "
As soon as he said this, a burst of laughter came from the Imperial Guard.
Many people in the rebel army looked at each other in dismay. They didn't know if it was true or false. It could be said that they were bewildered.
Hao Qingqing, who was sitting beside the throne in the hall, suddenly opened her eyes wide. She forgot her sadness and crawled up like a tiger, baring her teeth.
Hao Yuntu reached out and pulled his daughter's hand. He smiled and said, "Don't listen to that kid's nonsense. He goes to the brothel without comment, but he sleeps with a general's woman. Based on the Huyan family's tradition, he wouldn't dare even if he had a hundred guts. He's deliberately humiliating the other party. Don't take it seriously! "
These half-truths caused Gu Yuanda's face to darken. He realized that this person was indeed the most unreliable person in the Huyan family. If it was someone else in the Huyan family, it would be impossible for them to say such shameful words. He raised his finger and said, "Hu Yanwei, as long as you surrender, I'll spare your life!"
Hu Yanwei loudly said, "What's the use of sparing me! I know what you're thinking. You want to take me as a hostage, right? You should know what kind of person my father is. Taking me as a hostage won't be of any use. Gu Yuanda, I say, why bother? You can be a good person, but you insist on being a traitor. My father's army is sweeping over. Will you be able to escape? "
Gu Yuanda's heart sank. Thinking about Huyan Wuhen's character, it was indeed useless to take his son as a hostage in the face of this kind of thing.
Hu Yanwei, who was opposite him, waved his sword and shouted, "Release the arrows!"
