At this time, a huge signal bomb rose into the sky, blooming a beautiful arc in the sky.

Feng Yuanqing looked up at the sky, his eyebrows raised, and there was a strange smile on his lips.

Soon, a team appeared outside the city. Each of these cavalry were wearing armor and holding spears. They were tall and burly. They looked like they were no ordinary people. The city gate had already been opened for them.

This team came with great force and headed straight towards the palace.

Running all the way, no one stopped them wherever they passed. The people in the palace were frightened when they saw this, and they fled the palace one after another to avoid the cavalry. A catastrophe broke out, and a bloody storm began.

Feng Yuanqing stood at the door of the imperial study, witnessing all this, with a satisfied smile on his face.

The cavalry of Xichu really lived up to their reputation. Just a few of them could suppress the five thousand imperial troops in the palace. Moreover, they were well-trained and had strong combat effectiveness. They were like an army of thousands.

Feng Yuanqing had a gloomy smile on his face, it seemed that his plan was finally coming to fruition.

"Your Majesty! This...is this the cavalry of Western Chu? Feng Yuanqing actually united with Western Chu to attack our Shang Zhou? What do they want?" A group of important officials from the court gathered around and asked anxiously.

The emperor watched all this calmly, without panicking. He was silent for a moment and then said: "My dear friends, now is not the time to discuss this."

"Your Majesty, this...what should we do?"

"Everyone, please don't act rashly. Princess Yongchen has led her troops outside and is ready to go to war at any time." The emperor said, "Now we just need to wait for Princess Yongchen's arrival."

"The emperor means... to let Princess Yongchen lead troops to resist Xi Chu's cavalry?"

"Yes." The emperor nodded.

All the ministers looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do for a moment: "Your Majesty, how can Princess Yongchen's daughter, who is no more than six years old, lead the army?"

"Although she is a woman, she has a good mind." The emperor said, "Besides, don't forget that Mr. Sheng is both civil and military."

"But...your Majesty!"

"Okay! You don't need to say any more. I will ask Princess Yongchen to come with the troops. You all can just wait for the news!" The emperor interrupted everyone.

"I obey the decree." All the ministers had no choice but to agree. After all, this matter concerned the entire Shang Zhou, and they could not tolerate any further hesitation.

At the same time, Sheng Zhiyao in the Hou Mansion was getting ready to go.

"Master, there is a message from Mei'er, it's time to take action." Hongxue said standing next to Sheng Zhiyao.

"Yes." Sheng Zhiyao nodded, his eyes twinkling, "Since Feng Yuanqing asked the people from Xi Chu to provoke him first, I don't mind returning the favor."

"Hongxue, guard the Marquis's Mansion and Prince Chen's Mansion, there won't be any mistakes." Sheng Zhiyao ordered.

"I see."

"Let's go." Sheng Zhiyao turned around and walked towards the door of the Hou's Mansion, followed by thirty-two guards from Prince Chen's Mansion and a group of people from Licheng that the emperor had sent to her before. Although these people are now soldiers of the palace, they are

Not long ago, they were all the best in the military.

As soon as he reached the front door of the mansion, the three brothers of the Sheng family also came over.

"Sister, I will go with you." Sheng Hancheng said with a firm tone.

"good!"

"I won't go. I don't know martial arts. If I go, I will cause you trouble. But you don't have to worry in the house. I'm here." Sheng Hanmo patted Sheng Hancheng on the shoulder to reassure him.

Sheng Hancheng nodded: "I will also protect my sister."

"Second brother, I'll go with you. There are grandpa and housekeeper Li at home, as well as eldest brother. I will help you." Sheng Hangu stood next to Sheng Zhiyao and said.

"Okay, you watch Zhiyuan so that I can help Yuan Chen." Sheng Hancheng warned.

"I got it." Sheng Hangu waved his hand and followed them out to meet the upcoming battle.

Sheng Hanmo watched Sheng Hancheng and the others leave with a hint of bitterness on his face, but soon he calmed down and returned to his previous calmness.

"Keep the door closed. Don't open it until they come back." Sheng Hanmo ordered the concierge, who nodded in agreement.

In Qingliu Courtyard, Sheng Zhengye and Qi Xinyue were with the old Marquis.

Qi Xinyue looked at Sheng Zhengye with a worried look on her face: "Zhengye, will Feng Yuan Qing really take action against Yuan Chen and Zhiyao?"

Sheng Zhengye held her hand and stroked it gently: "Don't panic Yue'er, don't think too much, everything will be fine."

Qi Xinyue came close to his arms and murmured: "Zhengye, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that something might happen to Ziyao. She's only six years old! Why let her go."

"No, no, don't worry." Sheng Zhengye comforted him.

At this time, a servant hurried over and reported: "There are guards at the door who want to break in. I don't know who sent them, saying they want to bring Princess Yongchen into the palace."

Old Marquis Sheng frowned. He didn't expect Feng Yuanqing to be unable to restrain himself so quickly.

"Guard the gate of the house and don't allow anyone to come in. If they attack the gate, kill them." Sheng Zhengye ordered coldly.

"Yes!" the servant agreed and stepped back.

Qi Xinyue looked sad.

"Don't think too much, the soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth." Sheng Zhengye sighed, "Now everyone is in the palace, the only thing we can do is to stay at home quietly so that they have no worries."

"Yes! Zhengye is right. We just need to protect this small family. As for everyone, we have to rely on the children themselves!" Mr. Sheng took a deep breath and looked calm.

As soon as Sheng Zhiyao and the others reached the palace gate, several guards immediately stepped forward to intercept her.

"Princess Yongchen! Please stay!" One of the guards stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying with a respectful expression, "Your Majesty, please stay."

"Who are you?" Sheng Zhiyao glanced at them and asked in confusion.

"I don't bother Princess Yongchen to worry about this. Your Majesty will tell you the answer. We don't dare to make any arbitrary decisions." The guard said with a smile.

"Oh? Really? I want to see which of your majesties is so bold as to block my way." Sheng Zhiyao curled her lips and smiled. She knew that Feng Yuanqing would definitely come to see her.

she.

"This... subordinate dare not disobey the imperial edict. I hope the princess will not embarrass me!" the guard said in embarrassment.

"You say I'm making things difficult for you? My princess sees that you don't take me seriously at all!" Sheng Zhiyao snorted coldly, "If that's the case, then don't blame me for being rude! Licheng, give me this

The county takes it."

"Yes, Princess!" Licheng responded, and with a wave of his hand, Licheng and the guards behind him swarmed forward.

"How dare you! How dare you!" Upon seeing this, the other two guards immediately stepped forward to stop him.

Licheng turned around and stabbed one of them in the throat with the sword in his hand.

"Pfft!" Blood spurted out.
