Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 219

Chapter 219: Escape
When Wu Shanxian heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked, “Is it Yan Junwang?”

Emperor Yong’an lamented his best friend’s simple-mindedness and said, “He is still in the north. How can he come back so quickly?”

Seeing Wu Shanxian’s frown, Emperor Yong’an smiled and added, “However, Yan Junwang sent his people to intercept Duan Qinwang’s retreat. There should be no problem in arresting them all today.”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Shanxian and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the support of Xie Yanghui and Xuan Ruiquan, it should be possible to clear out Duan Qinwang and his followers in one fell swoop.

Seeing that the main hall of Junshi Xianhe Hall was covered with blood and corpses, Qiu Yuanbo said, “Your Majesty, this place is dirty. Why don’t you go back to Yang Xin Palace and take a rest?”

Emperor Yong’an looked at the ministers’ pale faces and the generals’ tired faces. None of them have slept since yesterday, and they fought against Duan Qinwang today. They should be given a day off.

Emperor Yong’an thought for a while and said, “All of you should go back and rest. We will have a lot of things to do tomorrow.”

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the side hall, followed by Qiu Yuanbo, An Yi, and other secret guards.

Seeing Emperor Yong’an walking away, the ministers and generals quickly clapped their hands and bowed deeply, and then said in unison, “Chen respectfully send off the Emperor.”

After Emperor Yong’an left Junshi Xianhe Hall, he said, “Let’s go to Ci Ning Palace.”

Qiu Yuanbo smiled and said, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

Seeing them coming, the eunuchs stepped aside to let Emperor Yong’an pass. After Emperor Yong’an got on the imperial sedan, the eunuchs lifted it up and waited for Qiu Yuanbo’s order.

Sitting in the imperial sedan, Emperor Yong’an calmly said, “An Yi, retreat.”

An Yi clasped his fists, lowered his head, and said, “Yes, Master.”

As soon as these words were spoken, he and the other secret guards disappeared. Emperor Yong’an then went to Ci Ning Palace with only Wu Shanxian and a team of imperial guards protecting him. He sat in the spacious imperial sedan, lazily supporting his chin with his left hand while staring at the bright sky.

His eyes were cold as he thought. ‘Mu Hou, please wait a little bit longer. Er Chen will make everyone who kills you and Fu Huang pay with their lives.’

At the same time, after Duan Qinwang and others escaped from the Junshi Xianhe Hall, Xie Yanghui and his soldiers chased them. However, as someone who lived in the imperial palace for more than twenty years before moving out, Duan Qinwang knew a secret passage that no one knew about.

Seeing that Xie Yanghui and his soldiers had not arrived yet, Duan Qinwang looked at his general and said, “You should leave through another secret passage.”

The general knew that Duan Qinwang wanted him to act as bait, so he said, determined to sacrifice his life, “Yes, Wangye.”

After saying that, he took half of the soldiers and ran in the other direction while Duan Qinwang and the others walked into the secret passage. After everyone walked down the stone steps, Wan Yuzhe pressed on a stone slab, and the entrance to the secret passage slowly closed.

When the entrance was completely closed, he picked up the torch on the wall and lit it. The fire illuminated the surroundings, and he hurried after his father and the others. It didn’t take long for him to catch up with them.

Seeing him coming, Duan Qinwang asked, “Have you sealed the entrance?”

Wan Yuzhe nodded, “Yes, Fu Wang.”

“Good. We should hurry up.” Duan Qinwang said with hatred flashing in his eyes.

With Duan Qinwang leading the way, they quickened their pace. When they finally reached the other end of the secret passage, it was already an hour later.

Duan Qinwang looked at the ministers and generals following him and said, “After leaving this secret passage, immediately leave the imperial capital city and go to Liang Province and hide. Ben Wang will contact you when everything calms down.”

The ministers and generals hesitated for a moment, but since they had rebelled against Emperor Yong’an, they had no choice but to follow Duan Qinwang to the end.

After making up their minds, all the ministers and generals said in unison, “We will follow Wangye’s arrangements.”

Duan Qinwang was satisfied with their answers, nodded, and motioned for his eldest son to open the stone door. After receiving his father’s order, Wan Yuzhe pressed a stone slab, and the stone door slowly opened. Before his eyes could adjust to the brightness outside, he felt a piece of cold metal on his neck.

“Arrest them all.” A cold voice said calmly.

When Duan Qinwang and others finally could see clearly, they were stunned on the spot. In front of them, more than two hundred Jin Yi Army soldiers surrounded them, dozens of whom had their long swords placed on their necks.

Seeing the soldiers wearing black masks, one of the generals was so frightened that he gasped and said in fear, “Yan Junwang is here. We are done for!”

Hearing these words filled with fear, Duan Qinwang glanced at the general and shouted, “What are you afraid of? There are only a few hundred of them. Ben Wang’s soldiers have invaded the imperial capital city and will arrive at any time.”

After saying that, Duan Qinwang looked at Jian Yi and asked, “Who are you? How can you mobilize the Jin Yi Army without Xuan Ruiquan?”

Jian Yi had no intention of answering Duan Qinwang’s questions. He ignored Duan Qinwang’s and said, “Bring them all to Dali Si.”

The soldiers clasped their fists and said, “This subordinate accepts the order!”

After saying that, the soldiers tied up Duan Qinwang and others with ropes and pulled them into several iron cages.
