The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was a peasant uprising that shook the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. It directly changed the situation of the Qing Dynasty and shook its foundation. There was no need to analyze his significance, just the matter of the establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was already different from the other peasant uprisings.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom ran amok in Jiangnan for 13 years, and at the peak of his career, he had even shocked China by fighting to the point where even the powerhouses of Xiyang City were considering building a relationship with him. This was a nightmare in the hearts of all the Manchu s. Just mentioning the name would cause fear in the heart of the short-lived empire.

Prince Kung was about to go crazy. The fangirls and ox horns that followed his orders to call the police were blown, alerting everyone in the Forbidden City.

The reaction of the Shuntian Palace and the minister of nine city gates was not as fast as the secret guards of the Forbidden City. The Prince Kung was currently a very important member of the imperial family in the Manchu, and all the diplomatic affairs of the entire empire depended on him. As the Emperor's blood uncle, his life and death was related to the safety of the imperial family.

The secret protectors of the Forbidden City were the first wave of operations. The Old Ancestor actually brought his subordinates and personally came out, the Royal House and the Forbidden City were not far from each other.

The old ancestor's gray hair was fluttering in the wind, and beside him were dozens of disciples and grandsons. These people flew on the roof like ghosts, and the entire group was like a sharp knife as they charged towards Gong Wang Manor.

Just as the team passed through the ice of the rear sea, countless men in black suddenly appeared on both sides of the sharp knives. The team quickly fell into an ambush.

"How dare the Firefly's Light compete with Haoyue? How dare a little trash like him be so impudent! "Children …" The Old Ancestor still wanted to shout a few words to suppress the formation, but the other party didn't say anything and instead took out his gun and started firing rapidly.

"Shameless …" You are the shame of martial artists! "Disgraceful, disgraceful to our ancestors …" When the white-haired old ancestor saw that his four grandsons were shot by the Gun as they were unable to dodge in time, he madly scolded them in anger.

The appearance of the Gun changed the world, especially the hearts of the people. People like the Old Ancestor and those from the martial arts world hated the Gun the most, because this kind of weapon changed the soil on which they depended and the Gun was the main culprit behind the extinction of the Chinese martial arts.

"Abuse of Gun, assassination of the prince, hatred of the nation are all in front of you … The children will kill them all... " With an order from the Old Ancestor, the entire group split into two and charged towards the encirclement.

They pretended to attack the Residence of Prince Gong in order to attract the attention of the entire government. They wanted to call out the Old Ancestor and the other capable people, and the God Thief Group was already lurking in the vicinity of the Donghua Gate.

The Taiyuan Hospital and the imperial pharmacy were located in the east three of the Forbidden City, on the east side of the Preservation Hall of the Supreme Harmony Hall, and to the north was the Supreme Ocean Palace. This was where all the doctors in the imperial palace gathered.

The height of the Forbidden City's walls were around nine meters. It was hard to find a place to stay at a height of three floors compared to the common people, but it was hard for the Green Forest's experts who came from high places to do so.

No matter how powerful the fort was, it could be broken from the inside. At this time, the Qing Dynasty had long since lost its vigor from when it was founded. After hundreds of years of chaos, there were even traitors within the imperial government and even the Baji. Although they did not formally betray the imperial government, their greedy hearts could no longer resist the corrosion of money. They actually even dared to pry open a crack in the Forbidden City's iron net.

Under the east wall of the Forbidden City, six black figures quickly shot through the frozen river. After they crouched down by the wall and imitated the call of the pigeons, two long ropes hung down from them.

The six of them used their hands and legs to climb up to the top of the city wall. All of them were as nimble as apes and monkeys. The eight guards on top of the city wall stared nervously into the distance, afraid that the patrolling officers would appear at this critical moment.

"F * ck, the eight of us are in the business of raising money. Three thousand silver taels for each of us. Hurry up and give us the money …"

"Fuck, can I cheat you? This is 10,000 taels of silver, treat it as a deposit. When we leave the city safely, there will naturally be people who will send the remaining money to your homes …"

"Damn, what if you guys change your mind? What if I don't admit to it? " The eight-standard bodyguard glared at him, holding his steel sword in his hand as if he would fall out at any moment.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk …" What do you mean? You want the full sum now? There is no such rule in the underworld... If you have the guts, then chop at me. Your head is right here. "If you dare to chop, laozi will scream …"

The guarding soldiers were so angry that their hands were trembling. "Good, good, good. If you can be alone, then I'll bet this on it. You guys go down to the city, directly in front of the East Three Sites …"

The six masked men quickly disappeared from under the city wall and approached the east three buildings. It was already 1: 30 in the morning.

Just at dusk, an unknown eunuch sent a terrifying message. His grandson had already fallen into the hands of the thieves, if he wanted to live, then he had to cooperate obediently. Tonight, someone would come to retrieve an Eight Treasures Violet Gold Ingot, and it was even the most precious imitation technique.

The recipe for the purple gold ingot was too complicated, it was just like Old Lord Taishang's method of concocting pills, he definitely needed all the Taoist temple on Mount Wudang to pick 108 famous herbs, gather the world's spiritual energy, and use the Taoist secret method to refine them. This secret drug had a miraculous effect on children, and it could cure 100 poisons. Rumor has it that the most exaggerated one was even able to cure the poison from arsenic.

Of course, Imperial Physician Wang didn't quite agree with these rumors, but there was no doubt about the value of this secret purple-gold ingot. Kang Yongqian III had once made this ingot under decree, but because the failure rate was too high, only 36 had been kept in the Imperial Pharmacy, and the Imperial Court had not opened any more furnaces since Daoguang years ago.

Was his grandson's life more important, or were the palace's secret medicines more important? There was no need to be conflicted over this question. The only troublesome thing was what kind of excuse should Imperial Physician Wang come up with to escape the capital?

Just as he was sitting by the window, drinking tea and staying up late, a few figures appeared on top of the roof of East Three. As he sat by the window, drinking tea and staying up late, a few figures appeared on the roof of East Three.

"Imperial Physician Wang?" Have you thought about it? " The man said coldly.

"Yes …" Yes, I have thought it through. I just hope that you gentlemen will not leave me behind and protect my family as we flee the capital. "

If it really comes down to it, I'll send you to that tyrant in the Ryukyu. With your medical skills, you'll always be a superior being wherever you go, and you'll know just how lucky you are this time … Hurry and bring us to look for medicine! "

With a traitor, everything would be easy. The young eunuch, who guarded the dispensary, didn't expect that Imperial Physician Wang would have already changed her character. She went to the imperial dispensary and fawned over her in a flattering manner, with the Eight Treasures Violet Gold Ingots hidden tightly in the hands of Imperial Physician Wang in less than ten minutes.

The six men in black took the medicine and handed a thousand taels of silver to Imperial Physician Wang. "Remember, you can complain to the old man in seven days. I believe you have plenty of ways to pretend to be sick. We'll contact you then." With that, she turned and disappeared into the darkness.

He really didn't know how he survived the night, but he knew that this group of people had actually set fire to Prince Gong's estate in order to steal medicine, and even the most mysterious guards of the Forbidden City could be lured out.

Until now, the ruling center of the Qing Dynasty did not know that their imperial pharmacy had been stolen. They never thought that the enemy would make such a big fuss just for a small Eight Treasures Purple Gold Ingot.

The surface of the ice behind the sea had now become a martial arts practice field for the heroes of the martial arts world. The light and shadows of swords and sabers were mixed with the sound of concealed weapons piercing through the air, and the sound of guns shooting at the same time. These so-called Heavenly Kingdom Army did not care about the rules of the martial arts world. They would shoot, poison, and throw stone dust all sorts of sinister moves, wave after wave.

The Purple Forbidden City's Old Ancestor looked at the dead wounds of his disciple and her grandson, and the anger in her heart soared to the heavens. She angrily roared and cursed, but the form was better than the person, and when a loud sound was suddenly heard, the bandits who were holding them back spoke coldly.

"The Old Ancestor actually still has the heart to pester us? "Go and see if your master is dead. I refuse to believe that 200 pounds of gunpowder won't kill him …"

Saving the king and the bandits was a difficult choice. No matter how powerful the ancestor's martial arts were, he was just a servant of the royal family. At this time, he could only choose to save the prince.

One of the fake mountains in the garden had been blown into smithereens. It seemed like the amount of gunpowder was still accurate, such a huge fake mountain had already been completely turned into ruins.

Prince Kung Yi stood at the door of the study, he was trembling in anger when he saw the chaotic scene in front of him, "Insolence, this is simply outrageous! If we write letters to find out Ceng Guofan, how did he exterminate the bandits? "How could he have escaped the wrath of the Heavenly Kingdom? Tell him that he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let a single one escape …"

He grabbed his sleeve and nervously pointed at the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's banner on the wall, trembling as he said, "Look, look at how this Beijing has turned out. I'll go to the palace and ask the empress dowager right now, you guys don't have enough power to recruit people or hire people. Don't worry about me, you have to protect the emperor!"

The Old Ancestor's face turned purple as he didn't dare to say anything. He turned around and returned to the Forbidden City. Before the sky brightened, he had already arrived at the entrance of a small, normal room.

"Hidden Fog Kid! "Come out, your confinement is over. From today onwards, you will be under my direct command. Take out your Ninja family's snooping techniques and serve the imperial family properly …"

The Old Ancestor looked at the pale Hidden Fog Kid, and thought of his disciple Sun Sanhu. This evil woman had actually killed his disciple, and he even said something about not raising trash. He was indeed a barbarian from a small country with no humanity at all. In the end, the Old Ancestor personally subdued her and locked her in the eunuch's room.

But today, this woman had to be released. Although he had a group of experts under his command, they were not good at spying. If this Japanese female ninja could work hard, the royal family's intelligence capabilities would increase by at least 30%.

Hidden Fog Kid squinted her eyes as she looked at the layers of palace walls, feeling the pressure brought by the power of the Central Plains Empire, experiencing the majesty she had never felt before. She finally understood that even if it was Tsurukawa's Palace, she was still just an ant in front of the civilization on the continent.

"Call me Sister Wu, didn't you personally give me that name? From today onwards, I am the Sister Wu and the Hidden Fog Kid is already dead. As long as you give me sufficient authority, I will repay you with my loyalty! "

The sky gradually brightened. The entire Beijing was stirred as the news of the assassination attempt on Prince Kung grew wings and spread throughout the entire capital.

On the streets, the sounds of horses galloping could be heard. The yamen runners of the Shuntian Palace had moved out together and captured a large group of messed up people. Who knew where they had taken them out from. However, East Crossing Folk Lane was her home, and in the end, she did not dare to disturb it.

"Eight Treasures Purple Gold Ingots!" You really did get it? Oh my god, with this, I am at ease. I have a hundred percent chance of dispelling the Dragon Lord's poison, you all can go ahead … "
