When Zhang Gaoyi was about to tell his story, he was interrupted repeatedly by Ye Zifen. However, he did not get angry, but just waited patiently with a smile on his face.

Until Ye Zifen finally stopped talking, he slowly said: "After arguing and begging for mercy for a long time, it was not easy to get to noon, when the emperor finally issued an order to serve the meal. However, something unexpected happened. Just after the court officials had finished their meal, several panicked imperial guards suddenly asked to see them. After the emperor agreed, they hurriedly ran to the emperor and knelt down to report that several imperial guards had died tragically for no reason!"

When the emperor heard the news, he was immediately furious, and his power like thunder was undoubtedly revealed.

He slammed the imperial desk and shouted, "How can this be! In this open and aboveboard world, how dare someone act recklessly and disregard human life among my imperial guards! This criminal must be brought to justice and severely punished!"

Then, the emperor looked at Zhang Gaoyi with a sharp gaze and ordered loudly: "This matter is handed over to you for full responsibility. You must investigate it thoroughly and give justice to the deceased!"

After receiving the order, Zhang Gaoyi did not dare to delay in the slightest and immediately got up and went to the scene to check the situation.

When he arrived, the scene before him made his heart sink.

It turned out that these imperial guards did not die in a sneak attack, but died in a fierce fight.

Recalling the more than forty days and nights when he was in charge of the imperial guards, Zhang Gaoyi had carefully and meticulously examined and understood every soldier in the camp.

Especially those soldiers who unfortunately died were the most outstanding ones.

Not only that, Zhang Gaoyi had also carefully taught them martial arts and body skills on a daily basis, and he knew very well that they were by no means ordinary people.

But at this moment, looking at the corpses lying all over the ground and the horrifying wounds on their bodies, Zhang Gaoyi couldn't help but frown.

With years of experience and keen insight, he could tell at a glance that these wounds were caused by professionally trained people.

If we look more carefully at their standing positions, we can clearly judge that these soldiers were collectively resisting foreign invasion rather than fighting each other.

Zhang Gaoyi continued with a serious expression, "When I saw the situation, my heart skipped a beat. My intuition told me that there must be something fishy going on! So, I didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately began to investigate whether there were people in the entire Imperial Guards who were at odds with each other. After a careful investigation, surprisingly, those people who were at odds with them had all disappeared without a trace. This is too abnormal! A strong sense of uneasiness surged in my heart. I knew that the situation was serious and I had to take action as soon as possible. At that moment, I hurriedly found a few brothers in the Imperial Guards who I had a deep friendship with and who I trusted, and told them to go and protect the emperor first to ensure that the emperor was safe. After arranging these, I continued to investigate the matter in depth."

Hearing this, Ye Zifen could not help but nod her head and asked in deep agreement: "Your response was very appropriate. After all, in this situation, nothing is more important than the safety of the emperor and the prince. So what happened next?"

Zhang Gaoyi took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and continued, "When I rushed all the way to the gate of the palace, I encountered an unexpected obstruction. The guards who were originally responsible for guarding the palace gate blocked my way for no reason and refused to let me leave the palace."

At this time, Ye Zifen had already frowned.

Zhang Gaoyi sighed and said, "At first, I naively thought that this might be a ban issued by the emperor for safety reasons, not allowing anyone to enter or leave the palace at will. So, without saying a word, I turned around and ran back, intending to ask the emperor for a special order. However, the moment I turned around, I keenly noticed that the guards looked at me in a very strange way, full of vigilance and hostility. Then, they rushed forward without saying anything, blocking my way and not allowing me to get close at all."

Ye Zifen asked: "Have you started?"

Zhang Gaoyi said, "Seeing this situation, what else do I not understand? The thing we are most worried about is probably going to happen. I know that talking is useless, so I can only take action. After a fierce fight, I finally knocked these ungrateful guys to the ground. Then, I didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off my forehead, and ran towards the emperor."

"Fortunately, when I went to see the emperor, the emperor was still safe and sound. But because of my return, the emperor also knew that something had happened outside the palace, so he immediately ordered reinforcements. However, after I reported to him that I could not leave the palace, the emperor thought about it and realized the difficulty of the current situation. He was at a loss for a while. Then, several of us generals gathered together to discuss countermeasures, and finally unanimously decided that we would work together to break out of the siege, and I would go to mobilize the Tiger Army to enter the capital to defend the king."

When Zhang Gaoyi said this, Ye Zifen asked, "Why don't you mobilize the Yulin Army to protect the emperor?"

Hearing this question, Zhang Gaoyi just stared at Ye Zifen silently without saying a word.

But in a moment, someone as smart as Ye Zifen suddenly realized it.

It turned out that the emperor was worried that there were people with ulterior motives in the Yulin Army who were secretly colluding with the rebels, so he did not dare to act rashly or place a bet easily.

At this moment, the only army that the emperor trusts and relies on the most is the brave and warlike Tiger Army.

After figuring out the key point, Ye Zifen nodded and said, "I understand. Please continue."

Zhang Gaoyi coughed lightly and continued, "It went smoothly afterwards, but when we arrived at the palace gate, we found that a team of soldiers were already waiting in formation, firmly guarding the palace gate. Seeing this, we were not afraid at all and immediately fought bravely together. After a fierce battle, it was unexpected that I was the only one who successfully broke through the enemy formation and fought my way out. After that, I didn't dare to delay for a moment and galloped straight out of the capital..."

Ye Zifen was shocked when she heard this, and couldn't help asking again: "According to what you said, is it possible that the capital has not been completely controlled by the enemy yet?"

Zhang Gaoyi nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Yes, when I left the city, there were still many civilians leaving the city. The enemy soldiers might have some concerns and did not dare to be too rude to the civilians, so they only stopped them for a while. They probably thought that I would never come back. So I rode out of the capital."
