Half a quarter of an hour later, three carriages and two fast horses gathered in front of Yunxiao Pavilion. All the female relatives also gathered on their backs and saluted in the banquet hall.

"Sisters, something happened in Yunxiao Pavilion. Most of you have nothing to do with it. I have some gold and silver here. I will divide it evenly among you. You can go on your own."

Ning Ruowei packed all her belongings and put them on the table. Except for the singers and musicians, the rest of the female family members in Yunxiao Pavilion did not know that this place was a branch of Peacock Pavilion.

"Pavilion Master, what happened? We... Where can we go after we leave Yunxiao Pavilion?" Many female relatives wiped away tears and cried.

"The world is so big, you can go anywhere. With this money, you can buy some houses and good land, and then find a good man to marry. Our girls in Yunxiao Pavilion are all so beautiful and talented, and they will live a good life in the future.

...Okay, you guys should leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

Ning Ruowei endured the sadness of parting, greeted the remaining twelve Peacock Tower guests, and quickly walked out of Yunxiao Pavilion with the children.

Counting the children, there were twenty-four guests at the Peacock Tower, which could just fit into three carriages.

Yan Yunting and Ning Ruowei, each with a fast horse, led the team in the heavy rain and galloped towards the west city gate.

…

Under the West City Gate, Yan Chen was pacing back and forth in front of the gate. There were more than three times more guards guarding the city today than before.

"Drive! Drive!"

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Yan Chen hurriedly ordered his soldiers to attack the city gate.

"General Yan, isn't there a military order from above that no one can leave the city for the Yuan sacrifice today?" The soldiers hesitated.

"Just drive when I tell you to. It will delay the time. Be careful of moving your head!" Yan Chen yelled.

The soldiers then opened the city gate.

At this moment, Yan Yunting also arrived on horseback. Looking at Yan Chen waiting in front of the door, he was indeed a loyal man who would repay kindness.

"Follow the carriage behind, let's leave the city." Yan Yunting greeted, just about to leave the city——

"Whoosh!" A flying arrow flew past his eyes, blocking the team's path.

The horses were frightened and their long neighs echoed through the rainy night.

"King Yu has an order. Everyone should pray at home for the Yuan Festival today. Anyone who leaves the city will be killed without mercy!" A guard in silver armor, leading a team of swordsmen and axemen, rushed toward the city gate from the flank.

"Hu Shun! The North City Gate is your defense. What are you doing at the West City Gate?" Yan Chen stopped the silver-armored guard in front of his horse.

Hu Shun smiled coldly, "Yan Chen, seven senior officials were killed three days ago. Your guilt has not yet been determined. Today, you let people out of the city without permission. Do you think you have too many brains?"

Yan Chen shouted: "It is Taifu Lin's order to let Master Yan and others go out, and you dare to stop them!"

"Taifu Lin?! How can a civil official with no real power compare to His Royal Highness King Yu?" Hu Shun pulled out his saber, pointed at Yan Chen and said: "Yan Chen, after you and I, we are both generals of the Imperial Guard.

, I’ll give you another chance to live, get out of here!”

"How dare you!" Yan Chen also drew out his sword and shouted: "The soldiers of the West City Gate obey the order and follow me to escort Hero Yan out of the city!"

Seeing that both sides were generals, the soldiers guarding the city deliberately surrounded them, but they did not dare to draw a sword.

"Brothers in Xicheng, listen, if you dare to let anyone go today, it will be a death penalty, and your wives, children, and children will all have their heads thrown to the ground!"

After Hu Shun's attack, the Xicheng soldiers no longer dared to move. They pretended not to hear anything and lowered their heads in silence.

"Hahaha...His Royal Highness Prince Yu had expected that someone would leave the city at night——"

"Did Prince Yu tell you that you are going to die in Xicheng today?"

Yan Yunting jumped up from his horse, pulled out his sword and slashed at Hu Shun with the most powerful force in the world!

Hu Shun hurriedly blocked it with his sword, but "Bang!" He actually took the sword forcefully! At least he had the power of the Xuan Realm!

"All soldiers, listen, come with me to hunt down the murderer!" Hu Shun flicked Yan Yunting away and called the guards to counterattack.

"Sisi, Caiyue, Zhao'er... come out to help!" Ning Ruowei and other Peacock Tower disciples drew out their hidden swords, jumped out of the carriage and met the imperial guards.

Fortunately, the soldiers in Xicheng are very sensible, and there are people behind both sides who cannot be offended. Standing still is the best option.

Yan Yunting didn't want to fight anymore, so he divided the battlefield with a sword energy and rushed towards Hu Shun. Before he could get close to him, he was sucked into the palm of his hand with the "God-Eating Art"!

"Slave dog, you are with the wrong master!"

He held down Hu Shun's heavenly spirit and breathed in and out... "Ah ah ah..." Hu Shun screamed in pain and soon became a mummy!

The energetic Yan Yunting felt hot all over his body, and his Dantian seemed to explode. He was arrogant, violent, and thirsty for blood. He could no longer control the killing in his heart, and instead transformed all his true energy into sword intent.

The sword cuts across!

"Whoops!"

The sword energy stretched thirty feet across, and all the guards were cut in half by this sword. For a time, corpses were scattered all over the ground, and blood flowed like a river!

"All soldiers, listen, the gold medal given by the emperor is here. If anyone dares to stop it, they will end up like them!" Yan Yunting returned to the horse with the gold medal in hand, and the blood-drinking sword was his most arrogant killing god.

posture.

The soldiers guarding the city automatically separated on both sides, kowtowed and lowered their eyebrows to make way for Yan Yunting.

"Walk!"

The motorcade sped out of the city.

"General Yan, can Mr. Lin explain your whereabouts after leaving the city?" Yan Yunting asked Yan Chen who was following him.

Yan Chen said: "Just yesterday, Mr. Lin asked me to take my whole family to Xicheng Pier, and then chartered a cargo ship for use when I leave today."

"What about other than that?" Yan Yunting asked again.

"No more," Yan Chen shook his head and asked, "Master Yan, do you know what is going to happen in Chang'an City? I have been guarding the city in Chang'an for more than ten years, and I have never seen today's battle."

Yan Yunting shook his head and looked back at the distant and hazy Chang'an City. Although he was not sure what would happen, he was certain that what was about to happen would be extremely dangerous.

…

…

At this moment, Dongcheng, Kaolu Terrace.

With the support of the eunuch, Li Mao braved the wind and rain and climbed up to the altar step by step.

"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body. It's too cold in the rain. Why don't you hold an umbrella?" The eunuch on the side advised him while crying.

Although Li Mao was weak, he was proud of the Great Wall: "How can I, the Li family, be afraid of this cold rain?"

Lin Xiaofeng protected the prince Li Ye and stood on the left side of the altar with the princes and nobles, while the civil and military officials stood on the right side in order. The emperor did not hold an umbrella, so they naturally had to endure the heavy rain and cold wind.

However, Li Wei was not found among the people participating in the sacrifice.

"Teacher Lin, my father is so tired, why do you still insist on offering sacrifices?" Li Ye asked in a childish voice.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Ye'er, even if the mountains and rivers are in ruins, there are violent winds and rains, as the king of a country, no matter how hard it is, how tired it is, how difficult it is, or even if you die, you should shoulder the responsibility of prospering the world. This is the emperor.
