Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1490

Yun Shang suddenly understood.

There were a lot of victims of the avalanche in Qi Mountain. Many people's families were destroyed in this avalanche.

If this avalanche was just a natural disaster, they could only resent the injustice of God. But if it was a man-made accident, how could they let it go?

Yun Shang bowed to Luo Qingyan and said, "Your Majesty, you are so brilliant."

Luo Qingyan smiled and asked someone to bring two horses.

Yun Shang mounted the horse and turned to Luo Qingyan, "Has Your Majesty sent someone to arrange the first poison?"

"Yes." Luo Qingyan nodded and smiled, "Fortunately, you have trained so many secret spies in the city, and also planted many people in the palace. All the poisons have been arranged according to your order."

Yun Shang replied with an approving sound.

Luo Qingyan also followed Yun Shang on the horse. With a wave of his hand, the army started to march towards the Jin City.

It was not midnight when Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang arrived outside the city.

A mile away from the city gate, they heard some noises coming from the city.

It was time of the curfew. It was self-evident where the sound came from.

Yun Shang looked up at the city, which was hiding in the darkness. A serious look appeared on her face.

The army was approaching the Jin City step by step. At this time, two fireworks suddenly rose from the city. The fireworks exploded above the city, making two loud sounds.

"The second signal has come. Xia Houjing has arrived outside the Imperial Palace with his people and is attacking it."

Yun Shang turned to Luo Qingyan and asked, "How is the defense in the palace?"

"The defense in the palace is no different from usual." Luo Qingyan replied, "Since we have to create the illusion that we are still in the Imperial Palace, we can't remove the guards. Moreover, I let the fake emperor guard the Taiji Palace and command this defensive battle."

Yun Shang nodded thoughtfully.

The army moved forward for a while and stopped a few hundred meters away from the city gate.

There was the sound of fighting behind the city gate. Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and heard Luo Qingyan lowering his voice. "If Xia Houjing wants to completely take the initiative of the Jin City, he will naturally find a way to control the guards at the city gate."

Luo Qingyan raised his hand, and four or five secret guards jumped up to the city gate with Qinggong, sending out signal fireworks on it.

"Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming!"

The city guards shouted from behind the gate, and then the gate was opened.

Luo Qingyan raised his hand and lifted Yun Shang's cloak and hat to cover her face. Then he took out two masks and put them on the two of them one by one.

Yun Shang smiled, "Your Majesty is well prepared."

"Of course." Luo Qingyan nodded and waved his hand. All of a sudden, the elite soldiers behind him rode straight into the city gate.

"Xia Houjing should have known that we still have some reinforcements, but he doesn't think we have too many. Someone will hide in the dark to see how many people we have and then report the news to Xia Houjing.

Our elite soldiers arrived first. They only saw so many of us. At that time, Xia Houjing will guess that our people are trapped at the foot of Qi Mountain, and only some elite soldiers can be mobilized to reinforce the city guards.

Everything seems to be in line with his expectations. He won't be suspicious."

Yun Shang nodded and went up to the gate tower. After confirming the wind direction, she asked servants to take out the poisoned straws prepared in the day.

All the soldiers took the medicine and covered their mouths and noses with a cloth.

Yun Shang asked all the elite soldiers to be about one meter away from each other and spread in two directions, north and south. Almost the entire eastern city wall was full of the soldiers, and everyone held a torch made of poisoned straw in their hands.

When everyone was ready, Luo Qingyan asked someone to light the signal fireworks, and the straws were lit. The straws were wet when they were soaked in the poison, so it was not easy to start the flames, but the smoke was very strong. Standing on the top of the gate tower, Yun Shang watched the poisonous smoke rising and blowing into the city.

It took some time to light the toxic smoke. After everyone lit up the straw in their hands, a third signal firework rose in the city.

"The palace gate has been broken. Xia Houjing is in the palace."

Yun Shang nodded, "He has racked his brains all his life to become the owner of the Imperial Palace and sit on the throne. But he must have forgotten that the magnificent Imperial Palace is the burial ground of many people.

Since he likes the Imperial Palace so much, let his bones be buried there too."

Luo Qingyan looked indifferent, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.

After a while, a secret guard came to report, "Your Majesty, the palace gate has been broken. Xia Houjing has brought his people into the palace..."

Luo Qingyan nodded, "What's going on in the city?"

"Xia Houjing sent his men to attack the four gates. The south and west gates have been occupied, and there are more than a thousand people in each gate. I don't know where Xia Houjing got some defense equipment, but it has been arranged at the two gates.

"They are arranging it at the palace gates as well." Luo Qingyan nodded, not surprised at all. "How many people did Xia Houjing bring into the palace?"

"About five thousand people." The secret guard replied, "The Cao clan, another two or three noble clans in the city, and more than 10 officials in the court followed Xia Houjing into the palace."
