After rebirth, I became a national teacher

However, the sound of each cannon was separated by about one-tenth of a quarter of an hour.

But to the people in the palace, it was as if they were surrounded by artillery fire from all directions.

From the moment the third cannon shot was fired, chaos broke out in the palace.

"Run! The mob outside is coming in!"

"It's terrible, they have cannons, lots of cannons!"

The palace maids and eunuchs fled in panic.

Such disturbances soon spread to the Qianqing Palace.

At this time, Pei Xuan had just arrived at the Qianqing Palace.

As he walked along, he heard the sound of cannons and saw the panicked palace maids and eunuchs outside.

"Your Majesty...what...what on earth is going on?"

He asked somewhat uneasily.

Emperor Yong'an was in no mood to play along with him at this moment, so he kept a sullen face and said nothing.

The guard who came with Pei Xuan explained in a low voice:

"Second Master Pei, something has happened in the palace. His Majesty is in a bad mood. Please don't ask any more questions."

Pei Xuan didn't dare to say anything.

After a while, the person who went out to get information came back and said in panic:

"Your Majesty, every gate of the palace has been surrounded by the mob, and there are at least a dozen cannons on each gate!"

"At present, the mob has threatened to give the Imperial Guards two quarters of time to consider and surrender to the evil demon Du'e, otherwise they will use cannons to storm into the Imperial City!"

Emperor Yong'an was shocked and angry:

"How come those mobs have so many cannons!"

The artillery depot in the capital is in the hands of an absolutely trustworthy person, and that person has been bewitched by the "Immortal Lord". How could he possibly leak so many cannons to people other than the Imperial Guards?

"I don't know, little one."

Emperor Yong'an thought of a possibility and suddenly cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Apart from the artillery depot, only the imperial guards on the city gates had so many cannons.

The imperial guards at the city gate also rebelled!

Then he asked Meng Bin to mobilize the imperial guards on the city gate for support, which would be like adding fuel to the fire and would only speed up the capture of the imperial city!

No, he can't stay in the palace anymore!

Pei Xuan, who was standing aside, listened to what the two said and his heart was beating wildly.

From what they said just now, the Imperial City was surrounded by people from Du'e God's side...

He didn't understand. Wasn't the side of Lord Du'e just a group of insignificant rebels? How come they had so many supporters in the capital?

Are those people crazy? How dare they besiege the imperial city!

He tried to peek at Emperor Yong'an's expression, looking for some answers, but he saw a look of fear on Emperor Yong'an's old and gloomy face.

Your Majesty is afraid, how is it possible?

Pei Xuan was in doubt when he heard Emperor Yong'an give the order:

"Tie Pei Xuan up and don't let him escape!"

"Yes!"

The guard who had been following Pei Xuan and had always been very respectful to him immediately stepped forward, twisted Pei Xuan's hands, and kicked him in the leg, making him kneel on the ground.

Pei Xuan screamed in pain, feeling both pain and fear. He raised his head regardless of his status and spoke incoherently to Emperor Yong'an:

"Your Majesty! You...what did I do wrong...I didn't do anything. I am innocent!"

However, Emperor Yong'an still stared at him with murderous eyes.

The evil demon Du'e destroyed his kingdom. If he cannot escape from the palace today, he will definitely take her only son with him to be buried with him!

"Gag his mouth!"

he ordered.

Then, Pei Xuan had his hands tied, his mouth gagged, and he knelt in the hall.

He watched Emperor Yong'an pace around like an ant on hot pan, then ordered someone to find him a set of eunuch's clothes to wear, and asked Wang Zhong and hundreds of elite imperial guards to protect him as he escaped from the palace through the small door behind Jingyang Palace.

According to previous investigations, this small gate has the least mobs nearby because it is far away from the main gates of the palace.

It would not be easy to be stopped by the mob if you escape from here disguised as a palace servant.

Then, Pei Xuan was put in a cloak and a hood, with the ropes on his hands and a cloth stuffed in his mouth covered, and they fled through the small door outside Jingyang Palace.
