He turned around and quickly departed, turning into a small alley. He finally saw a person with two horses waiting for him.
"Get over here quickly!" The person that had called to him was a girl. Her voice was clear and sounded nice. It sounded a bit relaxed and did not have any of the nervousness that came with preparing to fight a battle.
Bu Cong smiled and walked toward her. Leaping onto his horse, he took a look at the girl to his side and could not help but become absent-minded.
The girl patted him: "What are you looking at. Regain some composure! I wonder, which gate has not been taken over by you?"
Bu Cong was startled and recovered, saying in a quiet voice: "The East gate."
The girl giggled a couple times, "Sure enough, you have plans of your own. The East is your territory. If you want to escape, you would naturally escape toward the East."
Bu Cong did not speak any further. Whipping his horse, he rushed out first. The girl followed behind him, swinging her horsewhip.
The two finally arrived near the eastern gate of the city, and Bu Cong stopped to wait for the girl behind him. The girl continued to urge her horse forward and rushed straight for the gate.
The guards at the gate were given a fright. They had noticed the abnormal changes in the city, and they had heard that the guards of the other three gates had already been changed. They were beginning to worry when it would become their turn; however, at this time, two people had charged over. They treated them as enemies and surrounded them with their weapons raised.
But after surrounding them, the guards were dazed. This state of hostility was immediately changed. The guards put down their weapons and kneeled on the ground, loudly saying: "This subordinate greets county princess Ji An!"
The girl nodded and loudly said: "Open the gate. This county princess and General Bu need to leave the city for a matter! Quickly!"
Her voice was sharp, and the guards did not dare delay. In fact, they did not even dare ask why she needed to leave the city! Everyone just knew that county princess Ji An was someone that was favored by the Emperor, and she was doted on by the ninth prince. Not to mention leaving the city in the middle of the night, even the imperial guards at the imperial palace would allow her entrance if she went in the middle of the night.
The guards quickly opened the city's gate then watched county princess Ji An leave with Bu Cong on horseback. They then quickly closed the gate. One of the people felt fortunate and said: "County princess is feeling alarmed. It seems that the capital will not fall into chaos."
With Bu Cong not stirring the pot inside the capital, things indeed would not become chaotic. But at this time, something was definitely different outside the imperial palace.
The third prince, Xuan Tian Ye, had led a large group of soldiers and blocked the entrance. The imperial guards had already been seized. He sat in his wheelchair and was being pushed by a soldier. He pointed at the gate and said: "Get to ramming the gate."
The person that pushed him was a soldier and looked a little like an advisor. He did not look like a scholar nor a martial artist. His eyes had a criminal glint, and his eyes were clear. Upon hearing the order to ram the gate, he quickly reminded him: "Your Highness, think carefully. Will you not wait for his Highness the fourth prince?"
Xuan Tian Ye sneered, "Something that you have already obtained, would you cup your hands and share it?"
The advisor also sneered, "Of course, I would not. We have waited for your Highness to seize the imperial palace for many years."
