Chapter 72 Infiltration (Part )

After interrogation, Yin Xuan learned from the doctor that the emperor had fallen into a coma and was in a very bad condition. He was completely relying on the soul master to keep him alive. As for when he would wake up, no one knew.

After confirming that the emperor was unconscious, Yin Xuan killed the doctor and immediately returned to Tiandou City.

Outside Tiandou City.

Di Hong hid not far away and looked at the city wall in front of him.

The city gate has been closed and there are many guards on the city wall. It is not easy to get in. His martial soul is not suitable for stealth, especially when in the air, it is too obvious.

So he found a place to hide and waited quietly to see if there would be a chance to get in.

It didn't take long for him to seize the opportunity to switch defense.

Taking advantage of the gap in the change of guard, he changed into black clothes, quietly came to the top of the city wall, and then found a place to hide. Then, when no one was paying attention, he killed a soldier and burned his body to ashes. After changing into the soldier's armor, he left the city wall.

After sneaking into Tiandou City, the city was unusually quiet and the streets were full of rebel soldiers who were cleaning up corpses.

A strong smell of blood hit him in the face, and Di Hong frowned slightly.

The fall of Tiandou City was beyond everyone's expectations. The defenders in the city were defeated too quickly. It was obvious that the city was breached by a joint attack from both inside and outside.

Otherwise, with the help of the defenders in the city, it would be no problem to hold out until they come back.

"Hurry up, hurry up, move that body over there."

"Check carefully and leave no one alive."

Di Hong observed the soldiers around him. These were local armored troops, not the imperial guards. The 30,000 imperial guards under Xue Yu's command were still on their way back. They did not expect that Xue Yu could actually unite with the local army.

More importantly, the local government actually sent troops to help Xue Yu rebel. This shows that the promise Xue Yu made was definitely not small. Without huge benefits, how could the local army follow Xue Yu in rebellion, and tens of thousands of people came at once.

These tens of thousands of armored troops are all elite.

He believed that there must be more than just these people, there must be many people who are watching to see who will eventually gain the upper hand. If Xue Yu gained the upper hand, they would help Xue Yu, and if Xue Ye gained the upper hand, they would help Xue Ye.

However, most people in the army support Xue Ye, and there are very few who support Xue Yu.

"That soldier."

As he was walking, Di Hong was suddenly called.

Hearing the voice behind him, Di Hong put his hand on the sword at his waist, then turned around and lowered his head.

The officer behind him said to Di Hong: "Move this body away."

"Yes." Di Hong saluted with his fists, then went over to carry a corpse and left.

Afterwards, he continued his investigation in the city.

Finally, he discovered that there were still people fighting, and hearing the sound of weapons hitting each other, he immediately rushed over.

In front of a mansion, dozens of soldiers were surrounded and were fighting fiercely with the surrounding rebels. However, there were hundreds of rebel soldiers around them, and their space was constantly compressed. Soldiers fell one by one.

At this moment, fiery red feathers fell from the sky.

The attacking soldiers looked at the falling feathers in confusion, and some even caught them.

In an instant, the falling feathers ignited into flames, and the rebel soldiers were covered in flames and howled in pain.

They struggled and rolled on the ground, but this could not put out the fire.

The flames grew stronger and stronger, and the armor on the rebels was melted by the flames. In the end, hundreds of rebels died in agony.

The surrounded soldiers looked around with some confusion.

Di Hong came to them at this time.

When they saw the person coming, they immediately became alert, after all, Di Hong was wearing rebel armor.

"Don't worry, I'm with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Di Hong took off his armor.

"His Royal Highness's men?" The soldiers looked at each other.

At this time, a young military officer came out and saluted Di Hong with his fists clasped.

"Wang Shen, the centurion of the Imperial Guard, greets you, sir."

Di Hong nodded slightly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent me to infiltrate Tiandou City to investigate the situation. Tell me about the current situation." "Yes." Wang Shen saluted.

Afterwards, they entered the mansion behind them.

When the door opened, the people inside were in chaos and some even tried to escape, but there were also a dozen soldiers ready to resist.

"Don't panic." A female voice came, and this voice seemed to give people a shot of cardiotonic. The originally panicked person instantly calmed down.

After seeing that person, Di Hong was stunned for a moment.

"Princess?"

The Crown Princess did not go to the hunting tournament, and Xue Ye did not let her go with him. After all, in his opinion, this hunting tournament was to quell a rebellion, so there was naturally no need to take the Crown Princess with him.

On a snowy night, the Crown Princess was wearing women's armor, with her long hair tied up and holding a sword. She looked very heroic, just like a female general.

"Di Hong." Seeing that it was Di Hong, the Crown Princess breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Di Hong is here, she will be safe.

"Greetings, Crown Princess." Di Hong stepped forward and saluted.

Then he asked in confusion, "Why isn't the Crown Princess in the Crown Prince's Mansion?"

This mansion is quite a distance away from the Prince's Mansion. Why did she come here instead of staying in the Prince's Mansion?

The Crown Princess shook her head.

"The Prince's Mansion was breached by the rebels, and I had no choice but to flee here. If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have been captured alive."

Fortunately, Di Hong is back.

But she was also confused.

"How did you get into Tiandou City?"

"I sneaked in. I wonder what the situation is like in the city now?"

The Crown Princess didn't say any more nonsense and told Emperor Hong everything about the current situation in Tiandou City.

Through the Crown Princess, Di Hong also learned about the current situation in the city.

There is not much resistance left in Tiandou City. Except for the imperial palace, almost all other resistance has been lost.

"The palace is still resisting?" Di Hong captured the most important news, the palace was still resisting.

"That's right." The Crown Princess nodded.

"But I can't hold on for long, otherwise I wouldn't have escaped here."

Just as Di Hong and the Crown Princess were discussing what to do next, Xue Yu received a report from Yin Xuan.

"Father is in a coma." Xue Yu was a little surprised.

"Yes." Yin Xuan nodded.

"Your Majesty is already in a coma and is on the verge of death. He is completely relying on the soul master to keep him alive."

"That's great." Xue Yu stomped his feet excitedly.

"That's great."

"Immediately spread the news that the crown prince is plotting a rebellion on Xue Ye and holding the emperor hostage. At the same time, notify the troops from all over the country to come to Tian Dou City to defend the king."

He knew very well that the troops from all over the country would basically not come to support the emperor, which also meant that the generals who supported Xue Ye would not bring their troops. The emperor was unconscious and unable to issue orders, so he only needed to seize the initiative, and Xue Ye would be a rebel.

Who made the emperor be in Xue Ye's hands and unconscious?

If the emperor was still sober, he would not do this.

After that, he issued several more orders.

After all the orders were issued, another good news came: the palace was taken.

The good news one after another made Xue Yu very excited.
