They escaped from the palace through that small door smoothly.

Pei Xuan staggered back to look at the magnificent imperial city behind him, and then looked at Emperor Yong'an who was fleeing in a panic in eunuch's clothes in front of him. He suddenly understood:

His Majesty's situation seemed far from as strong as he had imagined.

But he still didn't understand why His Majesty would suddenly treat him like this and insist on taking him with him when he escaped.

Was it because of his talent for making gunpowder?

During this month, the Ministry of Industry has produced improved gunpowder under his guidance, but it has not yet been mass-produced.

But this still reflects his ability and value!

But now that things have come to this, does he really want to use all his talents to follow Emperor Yong'an to the end?

But if he didn't do this, it would mean that he would have to bow down to his vicious sister and beg for food from her.

She is now the young master of the Du'e Army. Even if he is so talented, I am afraid that just like before, she will do everything possible to prevent him from making a name for himself in front of the Lord Du'e.

He will be suppressed by her for the rest of his life and will never be able to avenge himself!

But on the side of Emperor Yong'an, he is like a timely help. If Emperor Yong'an comes back in the future, he will definitely be a loyal minister in the court.

However, it is still a question whether Emperor Yong'an can successfully counterattack and kill the Du'e Army.

While escaping, Pei Xuan was actually struggling over which side to choose.

But he never thought that he had no choice at all now.

After walking a mile away from the palace, Emperor Yong'an, who had been running all the way, was already out of breath.

Wang Zhong said considerately:

"Your Majesty, why don't you find a place to rest for a while?"

Emperor Yong'an could no longer walk, so he was led by the imperial guards to an alley that looked relatively safe, where he planned to rest for a while before looking for a carriage.

However, as soon as they stepped into the alley, they heard the sound of breaking air from all directions.

Most of the defenseless elite imperial guards were hit by arrows.

But at the entrance of the alley was a group of thugs dressed in tight clothes and holding swords, no, or should I say, an army.

It was obvious that these people were strong and well-trained, and were definitely not an ordinary mob.

There were hundreds of these people, who blocked the escape route for Emperor Yong'an and others.

There are many archers on the roofs on both sides of the alley.

They were completely surrounded by the enemy.

Even though Emperor Yong'an had been the supreme ruler of the world for decades, he felt terrified and desperate at this moment.

He didn't care that there were people present, and quickly whispered:

"Immortal Lord! Quickly think of a way to help me escape from this predicament!"

However, he didn't hear any response for a while.

Emperor Yong'an subconsciously touched his chest and suddenly discovered that the peace locket he had been wearing on his chest was gone!

Both the rope and the jade disappeared.

"The Immortal" once said that the peace locket contained her magic, and even if someone cut the rope short when he was not paying attention, the peace locket would never leave his body.

and so……

Now it is the "Immortal Lord" who has abandoned him!

Does this mean that his fate as the Human Emperor has come to an end?

The great fear and despair completely overwhelmed Emperor Yong'an.

Then he saw two men on horseback coming out from the crowd surrounding him.

Obviously, these two men are their leaders.

Both of them are extremely familiar faces.

Leading the way was Yan Rong, the Minister of Dali Temple.

Standing slightly behind him was the Queen's father, Duke Cheng'en Jiang Huai.

Yan Rong was still smiling as usual, but what he said made Emperor Yong'an almost vomit blood in anger again.

"Your Majesty is protected by tens of thousands of elite imperial guards. It would be a great hassle for me to ask Your Majesty to leave the palace!"

The defenders of Qilu, Northern Zhili, Shuntianfu and other places surrendered one after another, and it seemed that the army was about to reach the capital.

The person left behind by the Yan family as an insider didn't play much value except for passing on information.

How can that work!

Seeing that the powerful people in the capital were in a state of unrest, Yan Rong quickly decided to take a big gamble.

He wants to mobilize the powerful people in the capital, join forces to capture Emperor Yong'an alive, and open the city gates to welcome the Divine Lord back to the capital!

By then, no one will be able to surpass his contribution.

However, most of the military power in the capital was in the hands of Emperor Yong'an and those loyal to him.

As a civil official without military power, it would be extremely difficult for him to capture Emperor Yong'an alive.

However, he eventually succeeded after conspiring with the powerful people in the capital.

All they had were well-trained servants from various mansions, and actually they didn't have many soldiers.

The success was due, on the one hand, to the popularity of the God in the capital.

It was easy for them to incite the people, and most of the other people who knew about the plan held important positions, but they did not expose it and even helped cover up their plan.

On the other hand, it was thanks to the Ministry of Industry that provided us with several newly built, experimental cannons.

When they forced the palace today, only the cannon at the front of each door was real.

But the sound of the cannon blast was far more shocking than any other cannon blast in the past, enough to scare everyone in the palace into a panic.

Even Emperor Yong'an, as they expected, mistakenly believed that the imperial guards at the city gate had rebelled, and fled the palace in a panic.

Eventually he fell into the trap they set.

Emperor Yong'an then realized that the civil uprising and shelling at the gate of the imperial city were all aimed at forcing him to leave the palace.

But now, even if I understand, it's too late!

Yan Rong and Jiang Huai, these two old foxes, obviously want to use him to seek credit from the evil demon Du'e!

Emperor Yong'an was so angry that blood was about to come out of his eyes.

He hated his own stupidity!

I hate these people even more for being ungrateful!

They want to take credit, but it's not that easy!

Emperor Yong'an pulled Pei Xuan, who was being escorted, and fiercely looked at Yan Rong, who was looking down at him. He panted and shouted:

"The son of the evil demon Du'e is here. Who dares to move?"
