The palace gate opened wide, and after the bottomless door opening, teams of new troops lined up, the officers were fully armed, their chests were undulating, and their faces were flushed with excitement.

He tried hard to make his own position more valuable. Although he was just a squadron officer, in fact, compared with many veterans from the Warriors camp, his situation was not very good. After all, some people directly entered the staff headquarters, some had become battalion officials and brigade officials, and some had become middle and senior military officers in the logistics and recruitment offices, and even directly entered the royal guards.

But the squadron officer is still proud of being a member of the Warriors Camp, because the Warriors Camp was trained by His Majesty the Emperor himself. He is both a minister and a disciple. Now His Majesty is back...

He looked at the door nervously, and the sound of horse hooves sounded from the door. Then, he saw Chen Kaizhi riding a horse out of the door. The squadron officer hurriedly stepped forward: "Wu Menglong, the squadron officer of the new recruits, has seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Chen Kaizhi smiled at him: "The greedy Wu Menglong?"

"..." Wu Menglong was speechless for a moment.

Behind him, the soldiers laughed.

Wu Menglong still said, "Yes, it means being humble. Humble and welcome Your Majesty!"

Chen Kaizhi nodded: "What's the current situation in the palace?"

Wu Menglong was a little embarrassed: "Previously, I thought the Chu army had entered the city. The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture sent someone to the palace to report the news. The kings and many ministers rushed into the palace and prepared to work with Empress Dowager Mu to defend the palace city. Empress Dowager Mu also summoned the ministers in Zhengde Hall."

"But after that, someone came to report the message, saying that His Majesty was back, but... but... I didn't believe it, so I checked it before allowing him to go in. This person had just entered..."

Chen Kaizhi smiled slightly: "I understand, then, I've gone to the palace."

As he said that, he left a guard and rode his horse directly into the palace.

The palace seemed very chaotic. Many helpless eunuchs and female officials thought that the disaster was coming, and they looked like headless flies. When they saw someone riding a horse into the palace, they were stunned. In the palace, no one dared to ride a horse, except the emperor, but the emperor was not there. So, wouldn’t the Chu army have entered the palace?

Thinking of this, many people's faces changed, and they ran away from a distance.

And in Zhengde Hall, Empress Dowager Mu sat upright here, her face looked extremely solemn.

Everything was too fast, and it was really caught off guard. Although she was mentally prepared, Empress Dowager Mu thought she could hold on for a while. It was not until Jingzhao Prefecture came to report the news and the Chu army entered the city that she had not yet made the situation. But she still had the mental preparations she should have. Although she was a little helpless, she could only give Da Chen a decent end. If the Empress Dowager of Da Chen had not yet worshipped the Emperor of Da Chu, then... all the glorious past of Da Chen would become ridiculous.

So...she has made the worst plan.

Zhang Jing trembled and took a small bottle of wine, but did not put it on the desk in front of the empress dowager. In his opinion, there was no worst moment yet, and the empress would not have any short-sighted opinions at this time.

As for the ministers in this hall, some sighed and some looked deeply. However, those who could come here were obviously ready to rest with the country. However, at this time, eunuchs quickly stepped in: "Report, report..."

Almost everyone is waiting for the final news.

Therefore, when the eunuch's movement came, everyone cheered up.

For many people, the current situation is like a sword hanging on their heads. No one knows when this sword will fall.

Waiting is the most painful thing.

So, when the sound of the news came out, someone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. What was coming finally came, which was better than this terrible waiting.

Some people also shook their heads in their hearts, knowing that their deadline has come.

Queen Mother Mu glanced at Zhang Jing.

In this look, it seemed that Zhang Jing was urging him to bring the wine, but Zhang Jing held the small porcelain bottle in his hand tightly. This time, he disobeyed the Queen Mother Zhang's intention.

"Empress, Empress... the South Gate report... Your Majesty... Your Majesty has entered the palace... Our Emperor, the Emperor is back..." Speaking of this, the eunuch burst into tears. In the past few days, as the disaster is coming, almost everyone knows that life and death are right in front of him. Who is not nervous or afraid?

Our Emperor is back!

The first reaction of everyone was ecstasy.

Are you back?

Perhaps it was not until this time that everyone realized that Chen was unable to live without Chen Kaizhi, and they were even more inseparable from Chen Kaizhi.

only……

Then another thought extinguished their ecstasy.

How is that possible?

Chen Zhijing frowned: "The guards of the South Gate have opened the door to welcome the thieves? Is he deliberately trying to paralyze us? If Your Majesty comes back, why is there no movement? Not to mention, Your Majesty leads troops out of the pass and fights the Hu people to a decisive battle with the Hu people. 600,000 Hu people. If the Hu people are not annihilated, how can they safely return to the pass? The Hu people's horses are quick and they will not be able to escape into the pass. Moreover, there has been many news in advance that Your Majesty is already in danger and Chen's army has been defeated."

Everyone's hearts fell to the bottom of the valley.

His Highness Zhao said it right. Chen’s army was defeated, so even if His Majesty survived, how could he come back?

Chen Zhijing was worried and continued, "Even if Your Majesty really brought the troops back, then... there are hundreds of thousands of Chu troops outside, and they will have to fight to the decisive battle. The movements of the Chu army will definitely change. However, yesterday afternoon, I personally patrolled the city. The Chu army outside did not make any big moves. Even if Your Majesty attacked the Chu army at night, how could there be no movement if the war starts? It is so quiet that it shows that the Chu army is the old god, and if the Chu army does not annihilate, how can it lead the troops into the city?"

These questions after questions made everyone's last little hope completely wipe out.

What His Highness Zhao said is not unreasonable.

If there is really movement, you can notice anything in the city.

After all, it was a confrontation between the city and outside the city, so it was impossible to have no movement at all.

Chen Yishou smiled bitterly and said, "Then what Your Highness Zhao means..."

Chen Zhijing sighed: "The only possibility is that the Chu army has entered the city, and the news about Jingzhao Mansion is not wrong, and their purpose is to capture the entire Luoyang City and the entire Luoyang Palace as soon as possible..."

Everyone took a deep breath.

But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the hall.

This is the real sound of horse hooves.

After all, the palace was covered with copper bricks, and the sound of horse hooves when stepped on the copper bricks was particularly crisp.

Dada... Dada...

Judging from the sound of horse hooves, the people riding horses were quite hurried.
