"Dong dong dong..."

When the war drums of the Huangzhou Palace sounded in front of the East Palace Gate, the entire imperial capital was shocked!

Who dares to start a war in the imperial capital?

All of a sudden!

The entire imperial capital city defense army climbed onto the city wall, each one as if facing a formidable enemy, and spies were dispatched both inside and outside the city.

The East Palace was built next to the Imperial Palace, so when the war drums beat, the Imperial City Defense Army thought something was wrong with the Imperial Palace!

at this time.

The city defense army general stared in the direction of the palace and said with a gloomy face: "Come here, send spies to the palace to investigate and find out what is going on?"

"yes!"

At this time, the deputy general of the city defense army came forward and said with a worried look: "General, the sound of war drums is ringing from the imperial city. Can you understand this... someone is launching a mutiny!"

The general of the city defense army gritted his teeth and pulled out an order flag: "Come here, pass the order. While the whole army is on alert, three thousand soldiers and horses will be dispatched to follow the general to the palace to prevent a mutiny in the palace!"

"yes!"

At this time, the deputy general of the city defense army came forward again and said: "General, be cautious, so I will admire you!"

"If there are really rebels attacking the palace, the general will lead the army to quell the rebellion, which will be his rescue. From then on, the general will rise steadily and become the pillar of the imperial court!"

When the generals of the city defense army heard this, their hearts were filled with excitement!

"Be fast!"

However, the deputy general of the city defense army said again: "But general, mobilizing the army for no reason without the emperor's order... is a capital crime!"

City defense army general: "..."

This guy said both good and bad things!

What a fucking talent!

He took a deep look at the deputy general of the city defense army: "How about this, in order to prevent the thieves from cooperating inside and outside, I will be here to take charge!"

Then, he said in a solemn voice: "Deputy Commander of the City Defense Army, listen to the order!"

The deputy commander of the city defense army was a little confused: "The general is here!"

The general of the city defense army said with a half-smile, "I order you to lead three thousand soldiers and horses of my headquarters to patrol the imperial city. If there are any thieves causing trouble, they should be put down immediately!"

"yes!"

The deputy commander of the city defense army accepted the order reluctantly, feeling as sick as if he had eaten a fly.

He was in a very unhappy mood!

You've gone too far!

Let the fire burn you!

However, the commander of the city defense army was happy!

If there is no trouble at the palace, and if the emperor blames the Imperial City Defense Army for deploying troops without orders, the blame will fall on this "smart" deputy commander.

However, if there is indeed trouble in the palace, the great success of the Imperial City Defense Force in quelling the trouble will also fall on his commander.

This plan of killing two birds with one stone is perfect!

He is so smart!

at the same time.

All the great nobles, aristocratic families, dignitaries, and powerful men in the imperial capital were alarmed, and private armies came out of the palace one after another and headed towards the East Palace!

Their thoughts were the same as those of the commander of the Imperial City Defense Army.

If there is a chance to save the driver, he must get the credit.

If nothing happens, then nothing happens.

but.

Sima Jian, Li Jian and others have more ideas.

at this time.

The commander of the Forbidden Army in the palace was also shocked. He rushed out of the duty room and shouted: "Where are the war drums ringing?"

"have no idea!"

The guards on his left and right were also confused: "General, the sound of war drums seems to be coming from the East Palace."

A flash of horror flashed in the eyes of the commander of the imperial army, and he murmured: "The East Palace is right next to the palace. In other words, the sound of the war drums comes from outside the palace...Is someone going to attack the palace?"

As soon as he said this, the guards on his left and right were shocked and said in unison: "Mutiny!"

The commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army said solemnly: "Send the order, all the Forbidden Army will go to the imperial city and prepare to face the enemy!"

"Come here, check quickly!"

"yes!"

"Let's go! Follow me, commander, to see what happened?"

"yes!"

Suddenly, throughout the imperial city, the Imperial Guards mounted the walls one after another, drew arrows, drew their bows, and showed off their swords and guns, preparing to repel all invading enemies!

Especially in the imperial city near the East Palace, there were even more troops gathered, as if facing a formidable enemy!

at this time.

In the Gushan Palace.

Emperor Xia, who was accompanying Concubine Qin, was also shocked!

He listened carefully and frowned: "It's the sound of the war drums of the Huangzhou Army!"

Concubine Qin's pretty face was full of nervousness: "Your Majesty, did something happen to Xiao Jiu?"

Emperor Xia frowned, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and he asked calmly outside the door: "Where are the war drums of the Huangzhou Army ringing?"

Outside the door, a bloody slave appeared: "Reporting to Your Majesty, coming from the direction of the East Palace!"

Emperor Xia's brows furrowed even more tightly: "East Palace Gate?"

"yes!"

"Is the East Palace related to the murder of Ye Mansion?"

"Xiaojiu wants to break into the East Palace?"

Although Emperor Xia didn't see it with his own eyes, he guessed what happened: "Wait a minute! The urgent report is coming!"

"My beloved, don't panic!"

"You'll know what's going on right away!"

After half a stick of incense.

"Urgent report..."

A young general of the Forbidden Army rushed into the Gushan Palace, knelt outside the door and said: "Your Majesty, the Huangzhou King led the Huangzhou soldiers to form a military formation in front of the East Palace. They were confronting the guards of the East Palace. The Huangzhou Army beat the war drum and intended to launch an attack on the East Palace.

attack!"

"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions. Will the Forbidden Army intervene to stop it?"

Emperor Xia's eyes lit up: "This war drum beats a stick of incense but there is no cry of killing, there is no flames of war, and the Huangzhou army does not attack?"

The Imperial Army messenger shook his head: "We haven't launched an attack yet!"

"Hahaha......"

Emperor Xia smiled!

His brows stretched, and his eyes were full of relief: "Your Majesty, this guy Xiaojiu is following me, he is smart!"

"He knows that without my will, attacking the East Palace is tantamount to rebellion!"

"So, he made an attack posture, beat the war drum and told me that he found out that the East Palace was related to the Ye Mansion massacre case. However, he did not have my will, so he could only put up a search posture, but he could not really invade.

Donggong, what should I do?"

Concubine Qin's pretty face was full of doubts: "Tian'er didn't send someone to deliver the message?"

"Hahaha......"

Emperor Xia smiled even more happily: "My beloved concubine!"

"The sound of his war drums is the message he preaches!"

"He believes that I can understand what he means, so there is no need to send a message!"

Concubine Qin's long eyelashes trembled slightly, her face full of curiosity: "What if Your Majesty doesn't understand?"

Emperor Xia solemnly said: "Then I will give him a warning!"
