Chapter 221 Chapter 217: Rescue Huang Chang
"Father, queen, brother."

Huang Yue, who was sitting next to Ling Yun, heard the shocking news and couldn't help but let out a cry of grief, and fainted in Ling Yun's arms at the sound of grief.

"General, is she..."

Hu Dazong looked at Huang Yue who had fainted in Ling Yun's arms with a look of astonishment, and couldn't help being stunned.

Ling Yun brought Huang Yue to the banquet, but did not reveal her princess status.So Hu Dazong and all the soldiers in the hall thought she was just Ling Yun's confidante.

Ling Yun sighed and said, "She is Princess Mingyue."

"What, she is Princess Mingyue?"

Hu Dazong and all the generals were stunned.

"Send her to the room first! This incident has hit her too hard."

It is hard for anyone to bear hearing that his whole family has been killed.

Two maidservants in the governor's mansion carried Huang Yue into the room.

"Governor Hu, according to General Ben, this matter is not as simple as it seems!"

Ling Yun drank the wine in the glass and slapped it heavily on the table.

"That's right, I also think this matter is very strange. Although this An Shigeng is the hereditary Pingqing king, he was dismissed by the emperor because his father, An Yunshan, used to mobilize troops without reason. Children and grandchildren are not allowed to enter the court as officials."

"But now that Cai Jing is rebelling, why does the emperor suddenly call An Shigeng into the palace to escort him, and surrender the throne to him? This is really unreasonable."

Ling Yun snorted coldly: "The facts are obvious, An Shigeng is the biggest traitor! An Shigeng must hold a grudge for being deprived by the emperor of the power of being an official for generations of descendants. This person is extremely ambitious, how could he be willing to be an official?" A powerless king of Pingqing?"

"According to my deduction, An Shigeng must have been involved in Cai Jing and Tong Guan's rebellion, otherwise Cai Jing and Tong Guan's martial arts would not be able to deal with the emperor. An Shigeng and Cai Jing joined forces to subdue the emperor, and then suddenly turned back and killed Cai Jing. Push all the crimes to Cai Jing, and then hold the emperor to falsely pass the imperial edict to let His Majesty abdicate the emperor to him."

Although Ling Yun's inferences were not completely consistent, they were pretty close.

In fact, many ministers in the court have the same inference as Ling Yun, but they dare not expose An Shigeng.

An Shigeng's martial arts are astonishing, invincible in the world, and he controls the [-] forbidden troops in the capital. Who would dare not obey his orders?

Hu Dazong nodded again and again after hearing this: "That's right, the lower officials also have this suspicion. General, what should we do about this matter?"

Ling Yun's eyes shot out two terrifying murderous intentions: "Tomorrow, we will mobilize all the soldiers and horses, and go to the capital with this general to eradicate An Shigeng, the traitor!"

Hu Dazong stood up, bowed to Ling Yun with both hands and said: "The only official to follow is the general, and conquer An Shigeng!"

Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and other generals also got up one after another, clasped their fists to Ling Yun with enthusiasm and said, "We are willing to follow the general and conquer the traitor An Shigeng!"

"Okay!" Ling Yun slapped the table and stood up.

Three days later, Ling Yun led Hu Dazong, Qi Jiguang and other soldiers with a total of [-] soldiers and horses, marching all the way to the capital under the name of crusade against An Shigeng.

Along the way, garrisons from all over the country responded one after another. By the time they arrived in the capital, there were more than 10,000+ troops.

Ling Yun led the army to set up camp [-] miles outside the city, and called all the generals to discuss matters.

Qi Jiguang went out and clasped his fists and said: "General, at the end of tomorrow, I will be willing to bring [-] soldiers and horses to call the battle and persuade the generals defending the city to surrender."

Hu Dazong Nianxu nodded slightly: "They are all generals and soldiers. It would be the best if they can enter the city without bloodshed, but the city guard may not open the city and surrender."

Qi Jiguang said: "An Shigeng did the wrong thing and hijacked the Son of Heaven. Everyone should be punished. Will the guards of the city still sacrifice their lives for An Shigeng?"

Hu Dazong shook his head and said, "It is precisely because An Shigeng held the emperor hostage that the guards in the capital have no choice but to regard An Shigeng as emperor."

Ling Yun got up and said: "You two don't need to argue. Tonight, the general will go to visit the palace at night to see if His Majesty can be rescued. As long as His Majesty is rescued, the defenders will naturally open the city and surrender."

Both Hu Dazong and Qi Jiguang nodded.

At the end of the third watch, Ling Yun came out of the tent wearing night clothes, and disappeared into the night as an afterimage.

At this moment, Ling Yun's lightness skill has already far surpassed Ding Xiaosan, whether it is the guards of the city wall or the strict guards of the palace, it is nothing to him.

He traveled all the way to the Hall of Martial Arts, where Huang Chang called him several times, and hid behind the plaque, thinking about how to find Huang Chang.

Not long after, a captain of the guard came with two guards on patrol.

Ling Yun jumped out from behind the plaque, and before the guards could react, he shot a few shots of true energy, and all the guards fainted.

Before the guards fell down, Ling Yun grabbed the three guards like lightning and plundered behind the plaque.

Unlocking the acupoints of the captain of the guard, he said in a low voice, "If you want to survive, be obedient."

The captain of the guard showed horror and nodded repeatedly.

Ling Yun released his dumb acupoint again, and asked: "Where is the emperor under house arrest by An Shigeng?"

The captain of the guard whispered: "Come to Yang Palace"

Ling Yun tapped his acupuncture points again, and then disappeared as an afterimage.

A moment later, Ling Yun appeared in Laiyang Palace.

After all the guards in the future Yang Palace were dealt with silently, Ling Yun found Huang Chang's bedroom.

Seeing Huang Chang with a pale face and an old face on the bed, Ling Yun was deeply moved.Not daring to stay any longer, he took his yellow clothes and left the palace with his form-shifting shadow.

After returning to the camp, he put Huang Chang on the bed, and then Ling Yun unlocked his acupuncture points.

Then Ling Yun knelt down and bowed to Huang Chang: "My minister came too late to save me, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Huang Chang opened his cloudy eyes, like an old man in critical condition.

When he saw Ling Yun kneeling in front of him, he couldn't help but burst into tears with excitement.

"Ling Yun, it's you, okay. You really didn't disappoint me"

"Your Majesty, let this minister treat you!" Ling Yun got up and stepped forward.

Huang Chang shook his head weakly: "It's useless, I have been sucked out of all my internal energy by An Shigeng, and my meridians have been abolished. I am like a useless person, and my life will not be long."

Ling Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The once unrivaled master, the Ninth Five-Year Master, has now come to such a fate.

"Father!"

Huang Yue woke up from the tent, threw herself on Huang Chang's body and wept bitterly.

"Yue'er, you...you're still alive"

Huang Chang was full of surprises and burst into tears.

He thought that all his children would be killed by Tong Guan Li Yan, but he didn't expect to see his beloved baby girl at this moment.

"Father, daughter is not filial, she didn't stay in the palace to rescue her, she sneaked out to find Ling Yun." Huang Yue broke down in tears.

Huang Chang caressed her daughter's cheek, showing a gratified smile: "Fortunately, you sneaked out"

Afterwards, he turned his head to look at Ling Yun: "Ling Yun, you must take good care of Yue'er for the rest of your life, and don't make her feel wronged."

Ling Yun bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will protect the princess for the rest of my life."

Huang Chang smiled and nodded slightly: "Then I can rest assured."
