090 Breaking Through the Palace Gate

"Like song...please mourn..."

The man stood behind Ning Ke in a daze, looked at Ning Ke's extremely pale face for a moment, and finally knelt down like a shame, kneeled beside Ning Ke, and kowtowed to Lin Jiang's body several times.

"Mr. Lin is an honest official, governs for the people, and is dedicated to good deeds. He will definitely go to a good place..."

Finally, his voice became lower and lower.

Although the Northern Zhou Dynasty advocated Buddhism, it was only allowed to spread in the imperial city. When it was released from the imperial city, the so-called Buddhism was left with the purpose of seeking rebirth in the Pure Land. All the scriptures in the Mahayana sutras were imprisoned in the bustling imperial city.

And at this moment, only this statement can make Ning Ke feel a little relieved.

Ning Ke supported the ground with his hands, and the thick sand and stone rubbed hard on his palms, as if only in this way could he relieve his moment of restless self-blame and guilt... She should have thought of it long ago. She should have thought of it since the map she folded out from the sheep horn knife. Daddy was a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh that several princes had to pull out. What's more, Rong Chu was determined to seek imperial power and hegemony. The underground palace was the most favorable evidence for his rise to power.

It’s all my fault that I just indulge in trust and forget that the most ruthless and coldest and overturned emperor’s heart in the world.

"Ruge, this is what Lord Lin asked us to give to you no matter what..." The man took out a letter from his arms and pushed it in front of Ning Ke. When he rubbed the woman's arm, the bone-broken sadness emanated from the bottom of his heart made the man tremble, as if his breathing and mood were frozen in this infinite mourn.

Ning Ke took the letter, his eyes were hollow for a moment, and his hoarse voice seemed to be fighting for the last bit of strength, "Who are you?"

The man was silent and lowered his voice for a long time later, "Ruge, you shouldn't know... It's not easy for Lord Lin to take risks in his life. If you can survive the tribulation safely this time, you will understand many things."

Wire danger...

Ning Ke lowered his eyes, as if he was smiling, but his fingertips were deeply embedded in the sand.

The palms rubbed against the turf that was stained with Lin Jiang's blood. Those corners that no one could see were already beyond recognition.

I originally thought that even if I learned the dragon-slaying technique and the dragon-killing strategy throughout my life, I should still have a friendship in my heart... I don’t expect that those who live and die together and share weal and woe together can’t resist the nine palaces and beautiful mountains.

"I want to enter the palace."

Ning Ke suddenly stood up, but felt dizzy because he used too much force.

A thousand stern shouts echoed in his mind, "Leave him, leave him, leave him..." However, Rong Chu appeared from time to time, wearing a blue green shirt with a folding fan, swaying his smile lightly.

"Ru Song..."

The man quickly held his eyes and hands, and he suddenly supported him with a hint of pity in his words, "Don't go to the palace in such a hurry. The emperor will not listen to your arguments. You are still the Prime Minister Ning Ke. The affairs of the Lin family have not affected you."

"Dad is gone, what's the use of Ning Ke's false name?"

Ning Ke patted the dust on her clothes with a pale face, but her hastily eyes still betrayed her dazed thoughts, "I'll go to the palace now and prepare a horse for me!"

The man held Ning Ke and stared at Ning Ke for a long time.

Although the woman in front of him was dusty, haggard, and in a hurry, he knew that the woman had made up her mind to do what she wanted to do and no one could stop her.

After a long time, he sighed softly.

"etc."

Then he clapped his hands. Someone had already brought the prepared clear water, and the panicles and towels came over. Ning Ke looked at the leader gratefully, but the man had already turned around and left Ning Ke with a squeaky back.

After washing her face and drinking a few sips of water, Ning Ke calmed down her mood. The past few days of running around made her scorched lips bloom with fine bloodshots. After being soaked in clear water, she rejuvenated her former spirit.

When Ning Ke got on the horse, the man turned around and his eyes floated over Ning Ke and the mountains of the Imperial City, drifting further away, but he could not say anything anymore.

...

Dark horse.

Red robe.

Ning Ke leaned on the horse's back and galloped, knocking away the scattered crowds and running towards Zhongcui Hall in the center of the imperial city.

The three palace gates drove straight in without any obstacles, which made Ning Ke feel a little uneasy. However, time was so tight that she could not think too much. She rode her horse and whipped her way, and the people and buildings on both sides of the imperial city were all flashing and passing by.

With a clanging sound, Ning Ke quitted his horse and raised his horse's hooves. Taking advantage of this moment, he saw clearly that the gatekeeper of the fourth palace gate had a square sky painting halberd and blocked him in front of the palace gate.

“Get out of here.”

Although hoarse, it has irresistible majesty.

"Mr. Ning." The gatekeeper still wore a painting halberd, but his face did not change. "Please forgive me for being under the armor and she was unable to salute me. The emperor ordered that Lord Ning please order the marquis of the west hall of Chonghuamen."

"I'm going to Zhongcui Palace to meet the emperor." Ning Ke took off his waist card and waved in front of the gatekeeper. "The emperor's imperial gift, if he sees this card but does not let it go, is equivalent to disobeying the emperor's order!"

"The emperor ordered the emperor to decree, Lord Ning asked the marquis of Chonghuamen West Hall."

The gatekeeper seemed to have not seen it, and just crossed the painting halberd and refused to relax. Even when he saw the waist card Ning Ke took out, he just glanced at it and ignored it.

"Where is Chonghuamen?"

Ning Ke relaxed his tone, but the gatekeeper was stunned. He had heard that Ning Guoguo was difficult to deal with. It turned out that he could tell the difference between major issues. So he put away his halberd and smiled with relief, turned his head and pointed to the side, "Turn left to say..."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Ke had already pinched the horse's belly. The horse was in pain and ran forward with all his strength. The guards who knew it later hurriedly pulled out their own spears to block, but they were not afraid that Ning Ke, who seemed weak, suddenly burst out with a force that could sweep the thunder. He bent over and clenched the soft sword tightly and swept the legs of the guards. The guards each took back their spears to block them in shock. Ning Ke suddenly withdrew his soft sword and stood up, driving his horse through the fourth palace gate.

The guard holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji was stunned and rushed to Chonghua Gate, "Go and notify the prince, Lord Ning is going to enter the palace!"

The fifth level.

Someone had already stood on the head of the city wall, and the huge flag behind him spread in the wind. He looked at Ning Ke who was rushing from the fourth palace gate with his hands behind his back, and a distant smile appeared in his eyes.

"Arrow ready!"

Ning Ke slapped the horse, and countless bows and arrows on the city wall responded to the sound, as fast as rain. However, Ning Ke did not look up and used a soft sword to push away the arrow close to him, and the speed did not decrease. In the end, there were still arrows looking for a flaw. Before Ning Ke could dodge, he sank straight into his shoulder blades.

The arm was numb, and the reins were almost released and the horse was thrown off his back.

Ning Ke gritted his teeth and broke through the arrow rain. Without waiting for a long breath, he bit the soft sword and wrapped the reins around his wrist.

The force was so strong that the purple Yuhen was drawn.

The sixth level.

The news that Ning Ke had broken through several palace gates in a row had been reported to the East Palace by a fast horse. Rong Xuan's face changed, and the jade hairpin that was playing with in his hand fell to the ground. The crisp sound made the woman in Rong Xuan's arms stunned. He noticed Rong Xuan's loss of consciousness. The woman was so scared that she knelt on the ground, "Your Highness the Prince."

Rong Xuan still didn't know it and left without knowing it.

Huo Shaoyu on the city wall stared at Ning Ke who was getting closer and closer. When he moved his heart, he remembered that when Ning Ke was temporarily appointed as the Imperial College last year, Anthony Wong took people to search and wanted to give Ning Ke a great embarrassment. Ning Ke smiled and said calmly, and even though the King of Qi was unable to get over the face, he couldn't say anything, so he could only let it go.

Ning Ke... had known for a long time that he was fierce, and he didn't want to come back from Shang Hai, and he became more and more decisive in killing and even broke through several palace gates in a row.

"Put down the suspension bridge and let him pass."

Huo Shaoyu waved his hand and finally didn't turn around and look again.

"Young Marshal..."

"Go, no matter what, I will take responsibility."

The seventh level.

There were already people surrounding there layer by layer. Ning Keller stopped in front of the half-encircle, and his eyes swept across the people without any warmth.

“Get out of here.”

"The emperor did not have the will to let Lord Ning enter the palace." The leader was quite polite and clasped his fists at Ning Ke and said, "Sir, please don't make things difficult for the villain."

"I will be announced to enter the palace soon."

Ning Ke's tone was firm and could not be questioned.

"Mr. Ning, please don't let the villain make things difficult for you. Without the emperor's will, we dare not let people into these palace gates at will." The leader still looked smiling, but he made sure not to give Ning Ke a slight opportunity to take advantage of.

The swords and swords were fired at the same time, reaching Ning Ke.

"The Emperor has an order—"

The gatekeeper looked back suddenly and took back the knife in his hand, "Since, Su Yuze obeyed the order!"

Ning Ke staggered off the horse and knelt side by side with Su Yuze. He listened to the orders of the guards, but he felt in his heart that Su Yuze's back was inexplicably familiar.

The lines on the side face are not sharp enough for those who have been leading the troops all year round, but in the slightly stiffness, they appear a bit moist and delicate.

But time was so fast that she could not think too much. After Wei Chi announced the order, a eunuch carried the sedan chair. Ning Ke then sat on the sedan chair with Wei Chi, and passed the two palace gates all the way before reaching the front of Zhongcui Palace.

Su Yuze, who was guarding the seventh palace gate, inserted the knife in his hand into the cracks between the blue bricks. As soon as Rong Xuan slapped his horse, he was the first to meet him, knelt down on one knee, and said viciously, "Your Highness, you have a dereliction of duty."

"dereliction of duty?"

The smiles that Rong Xuan had piled up turned into mockery when he saw Su Yuze. He immediately leaned his head to look at Su Yuze, without any concealment in his eyes.

"Or, you can't forget your old love at all?"

Rong Xuan's tone suddenly became stronger. Su Yuze was stunned, feeling that the answer was so bad that he was not a human being. He simply lowered his body more and more respectful and gentle. However, this gentleness fell into Rong Xuan's eyes at this moment and became disobedient. So he abandoned the whip in his hand, turned around in the air, and hit Su Yuze's back mercilessly.

"I can't even do such a small thing well, what's the point of asking you? Get out!"

Su Yuze looked up at Rong Xuan, and his eyes flashed with hesitation... He lowered his eyes but had a bit of begging, and whispered, "Your Highness..."

"I want to have another whip?"

Rong Xuan's eyes widened and raised the whip in his hand again.
