Chapter 309: 309. Kill Di Ao, purify the monarch’s side

Capital, city gates.

The largest city gate of the capital is called Chongyang Gate, with a long history, and the walls above and on the sides still bear marks left by many renowned literati and poets.

Unfortunately, it’s all gone now. The two gates were directly blown away, and the entire entrance is barely standing. God knows how much gunpowder is secretly buried underneath.

After the gates were blown open, the Dragon Guard, who had been ambushing outside the city, immediately launched an attack, swarming through the breach into the city.

The Dragon Guard stationed inside the city also began to ambush the city’s garrison.

The Chu Kingdom had been at peace for many years, and since its founding, the entire capital had never seen a foreign enemy, leaving its defenses emptier than a sieve.

The small number of gate guards were awakened by the explosion and immediately trapped in a pincer attack between the inside and outside forces of the Dragon Guard, instantly annihilated without even raising a ripple.

The gate commander, however, was loyal and brave, fighting fiercely with a small group of personal soldiers until he was finally assassinated by the Substitute Messenger of the True Mother God Sect.

Di Qingying led the charge, wearing only simple armor, riding into the city with her trusted followers.

Upon entering the city, the Dragon Guard immediately charged at the Five City Patrol and the garrison of Long Xiao Guards.

The Five City Patrol is responsible for the capital’s security, and if organized could be quite combat-capable. Di Qingying has only managed to incite one of them, and the other four need to be quickly eliminated.

No need to mention the Long Xiao Guards. One of the two elite forces guarding the capital, their combat prowess equals that of the Dragon Guard, and they are Di Qingying’s main enemy tonight.

If Di Qingying can capture the capital before the Long Xiao Guards arrive, it will be a complete victory, and Qiao Sen will be taken away by the True Mother God Sect.

If she hasn’t captured the capital before being caught by the incoming Long Xiao Guards, the outcome will be uncertain. The chaos in the capital would allow several units stationed around the capital to move to restore order by tomorrow.

So, Di Qingying only has this one short night to rebel, which is the difficulty of rebelling during peace-time. Without the gunpowder brought by the True Mother God Sect, she wouldn’t even be able to enter the city gates.

"Kill Di Ao, clear the king’s side!"

The soldiers of the Dragon Guard shouted slogans, swarming towards all directions in the capital.

Right, their slogan is entirely opposite from reality; the mutiny and rebellion are only known to Di Qingying and her close confidants.

To most of the Dragon Guard’s leaders and soldiers, the movement was propagated as being ordered by Qiao Sen to cleanse the powerful minister Di Ao’s forces in the city at night.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to mobilize the Dragon Guard so easily; those who actually want to rebel are a minority.

Other leaders went to deal with the Five City Patrol while Di Qingying, with her close leaders and most elite soldiers, headed straight for the Imperial Palace.

In the dark, San Wa stood on the rooftop, watching the large number of soldiers below rushing in with torches.

The Dragon Guard soon fought with the troops of the Five City Patrol. The Dragon Guard came prepared, while the Five City Patrol rushed to meet the enemy, quickly being driven into retreat.

Some roaming soldiers broke ranks and began to rampage, burning and looting, don’t expect the discipline of this era to be very high.

After watching for a while, San Wa headed straight for the Crown Prince Mansion. She reached the mansion and didn’t find Yu Qing and his group; the eldest and sixth sisters were also absent.

Cao Zixuan was organizing the guards of the Crown Prince Mansion, preparing to enter the palace to protect the Crown Prince.

Of course, San Wa knows that this Cao Zixuan is Di Ao’s mole. She doesn’t know what to do now, so she can only quietly follow along.

...

After leaving Di Qingying’s residence, General Yaksha flew straight to the Imperial Palace, ready to lend Di Qingying a hand by wiping out the three Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.

Whether or not such an action would offend the Heavenly Sword Sect was not within General Yaksha’s concern.

In this world, there is no one that the True Mother God Sect cannot afford to offend.

This extreme feminist and mad scientist organization is like a bunch of Teddy dogs, attacking everything in sight.

If they could find where the Three Great Holy Lands are, the True Mother God Sect would probably dare to challenge their sanctity.

Back to the point, General Yaksha’s initial intention wasn’t to overthrow the royal power of the Chu Kingdom; she had no interest in mundane royalty.

Her goals were solely for the Blood God Mask and the bloodline of the Qiao family; she was even prepared to massacre the entire capital for these purposes.

Yet the emperor Qiao Zhi, who was obsessed with male beauty, was extremely formidable, using the Blood God Array to prevent General Yaksha from getting close, forcing her to engage in the time-consuming and labor-intensive task of overthrowing royal power.

After all the effort and still failing, General Yaksha became very frustrated, deciding to overturn the table directly.

Her flying speed was quick, with the Imperial Palace already close at hand. Due to disturbances from the city gate, the Imperial Army stationed inside the palace was also mobilizing, blocking all the palace entrances and exits.

General Yaksha flew directly over the palace walls from above, targeting the three Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.

Soon, Li Yan, who transformed into a shadow, also followed, effortlessly climbing atop the vertical walls. The guarding soldiers didn’t even have time to react before she slipped inside.

Lastly is Fang Zhou, who daren’t get too close for fear of being detected by General Yaksha, directly flying his sword high into the sky.

...

Chaotian Hall.

Qiao Sen was inquiring the two Imperial Army commanders about the palace’s defense status.

With Di Qingying rebelling, the only thing Qiao Sen could do was to send Zhao Luofei to call for reinforcements; the capital couldn’t be helped now, only the Five City Patrol could attempt to obstruct them.

Similarly, on the palace side, Qiao Sen could only entrust the burden of defense to the Imperial Army. She herself doesn’t command troops in battle, having no means of directing them blindly.

The palace can still maintain stability because Qiao Sen’s presence ensures the people’s morale, not because she has such a high reputation, but due to her identity.

Yu Qing and two others were sticking close by Qiao Sen. At this moment, the safety of Qiao Sen is of utmost importance without any margin for error.

Listening to the report from the two Imperial Army commanders on palace defense, Qiao Sen, despite feeling quite anxious internally, showed no sign of it on her face.

After hearing the briefing, just as Qiao Sen was about to offer some encouragement, a figure suddenly darted from outside into Chaotian Hall rapidly.

Yu Qing and two others instantly formed a character-formation, encircling Qiao Sen in the middle.

But the intruder was not an enemy, rather the Royal Chief Sacrificial Officer, Du Ruxue.

Seeing Du Ruxue this rash, Qiao Sen thought something might have happened to her mother, nervously asking: "Aunt Du, did something happen to my mother?"

Du Ruxue directly passed through Yu Qing and two others, coming beside Qiao Sen, grasping her arm: "Come with me, I’ll take you to a safe place."

"What?"

Not only Qiao Sen was startled but even Yu Qing and her group were surprised.

Du Ruxue actually wants to take Qiao Sen away at this crucial moment.

"Aunt Du, I cannot leave now."

Qiao Sen hastily said. Her presence here could stabilize morale and persist until the Long Xiao Guards arrive for rescue.

If she leaves, the Imperial Army would think she fled cowardly in the face of battle, morale would plummet, rendering them unable to guard the palace.

If the palace falls, the entire capital would be lost.
