If there is a battle, there will be bloodshed and casualties. Although Xiao Tingyun was reluctant to lose the 30,000 royal troops, he probably did not expect that there would be an 'accident' among the 30,000 royal troops outside the city.

And this 'accident' was An Zhe, the commander of the emperor's personal guard.

The emperor was probably too confident in his arrangements in the palace. The commander of the guards who was supposed to protect him was actually sent to the outskirts of the city to take charge of the 30,000 royal troops. Therefore, in Wei Chuyang, he wanted to conquer these 30,000 royal troops without a single blow.

Then I ran into a little trouble.

This little trouble is not that Wei Chuyang can't deal with a guard commander, but because of his presence, the Royal Army soldiers who were originally afraid of the ferocity of the Xingce Army and wanted to surrender had to raise their weapons again and follow Wei Chuyang's lead.

A fierce exchange of fire broke out between the incoming Xingce troops.

After Wei Chuyang personally tore Anzhe's combat armor to pieces and captured him alive, he took inventory of the battlefield and discovered that more than 6,000 of the 30,000 royal troops had died in this firefight.

After this discovery, Wei Chuyang was so angry that he almost couldn't hold back and killed An Zhe. After all, if it weren't for him, there wouldn't have been such heavy casualties. What's more, Wei Chuyang also knew that His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to take back the 30,000 royal troops.

of.

Carrying the semi-conscious commander of the guards in his hand, Wei Chuyang's face was ashen. It was impossible to tell that he had just won a battle, but instead seemed to have lost one.

His face was so ugly that even Nan Shaoxuan and Jiang He did not dare to get too close to him, let alone report their battle losses to him.

The outskirts of the city, which was filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke, clearly had tens of thousands of people, but at this time there was silence. Everyone felt the pressure from Wei Chuyang.

The last one to break the silence was Wei Chuyang. He exhaled slowly, threw the person in his hand to Nan Shaoxuan's feet with a bang, and asked in a cold voice: "What's the situation with the Xingce Army?"

Nan Shaoxuan silently took a step back and pushed Jiang He out.

Jiang He was pushed out by him without noticing. Before he could curse, he met Wei Chuyang's cold eyes. He immediately trembled and said cautiously: "Two hundred and fourteen people of the Xingce Army were killed in the battle and one hundred were seriously injured."

Thirty-seven, fifty-two minor injuries."

Wei Chuyang's face suddenly turned even more ugly, and Jiang He almost teleported behind Nan Shaoxuan.

However, Wei Chuyang did not have an attack. He just glared sternly at An Zhe, who was seriously injured and unconscious, and then almost gritted his teeth and said: "Count 10,000 people and follow me into the city and into the palace. You two stay here to clean up the battlefield. The 20,000 royal troops who surrendered first

Keep them under guard until His Majesty the Crown Prince comes to decide whether they should stay or go."

Nan Shaoxuan and Jiang He quickly nodded in agreement.

Wei Chuyang glanced at An Zhe again. He looked like he wanted to go over and kick him to death, but in the end Wei Chuyang held it back, turned around and boarded his mecha again with a angry sound.

.

When Wei Chuyang's mecha slowly started to move towards the city, 10,000 Xingce troops also lined up and quickly followed.

With heavy combat mechas in front and 10,000 Xingce troops behind, Wei Chuyang marched all the way into the city.

The streets and alleys in the city have long since disappeared. Whether it is the battle outside the city or the movement in the palace, the residents of the city have understood something, so whether they are timid or bold, everyone is quiet.

They were hiding at home. Even if they heard the sound of the army entering the city, few people dared to come out and see.

When Wei Chuyang led his people outside the palace, the battle here was also over. Lu Zhan took 10,000 Xingce troops and directly took charge of the palace. Not only did he temporarily detain the imperial guards, he also detained the commander of the imperial guards.

When Wei Chuyang came out of the mecha, Lu Zhan was escorting the commander of the Imperial Guard to enter the palace. After seeing Wei Chuyang, Lu Zhan waved to him and said, "Hey, here you go, it's a pity that you're late, I'm already here

It’s solved.”

As soon as he heard Lu Zhan's words, he knew that he was refuting Wei Chuyang's previous words about coming to help.

However, Wei Chuyang had no time to talk nonsense with him. He glanced coldly at the detained commander of the imperial guards, then frowned and asked Lu Zhan, "How is your highness doing?"

Lu Zhan snorted and said, "With the six Gu Huaijing and the Long family here, it will naturally go smoothly for Your Highness."

Wei Chuyang didn't say a word and walked directly past Lu Zhan towards the palace.

After being ignored by him, Lu Zhan immediately touched the tip of his nose, and then chased after him with a brisk expression, "Wait for me, let's go find His Highness together." After saying that, he didn't forget to turn around and face the two leaders of the Imperial Guard.

A soldier said: "Hey, you two take this guy and follow him."

Wei Chuyang, who was walking in front, looked back when he heard this, frowned and said, "If you want to follow, just follow. Why are you taking him with you?"

Lu Zhan laughed when he heard this, and said meaningfully: "This commander of the Imperial Guard is very useful, so naturally I have to take him with me."

Wei Chuyang raised his eyebrows: "What is his use?"

"Use him to piss off the emperor to death." Lu Zhan said with a bad smile.

Wei Chuyang obviously didn't know why a commander of the Imperial Guard could make the emperor angry to death, so he gave Lu Zhan a confused look.

Lu Zhan first glanced at the commander of the Imperial Guard who was being escorted behind him, and then in a voice that only he and Wei Chuyang could hear, he said mysteriously: "The person who cuckolded the emperor, do you think you can make the emperor angry?"

die?"

Wei Chuyang was stunned for a moment, then frowned in disgust, and then said in a cold voice: "Then I'm afraid it's not enough for you to catch only this one. There are several people in the palace who have cuckolded the emperor."

This time it was Lu Zhan's turn to be stunned, but soon, Lu Zhan's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said with disgust: "Then she is really capable."

Wei Chuyang wanted to say something sarcastic, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered the relationship between Lu Zhan and the Queen. He swallowed the words back and changed his words and asked, "Your Highness is in the Emperor's Chamber?"

"In the Queen's Palace."

Before Lu Zhan could answer, a man came out from behind the fountain in front.

Wei Chuyang looked up and saw that the person who answered him was Guan Xiyu. He was surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"

Guan Xiyu's combat uniform was stained with a lot of blood. He just squatted by the fountain, washing his hands with the water in the pool and said: "Come out and find water to wash your hands."

Lu Zhan looked at the blood on his body and said with a smile, "Killing people?"

Guan Xiyu turned her head to look at him and also smiled: "Yes, I killed a lot of them."

Lu Zhan immediately asked with interest: "Who did you kill?"

Guan Xiyu turned back and washed her hands carefully, and said with a faint smile: "The Emperor's Guards." After speaking, he looked up at Lu Zhan. Although he was still smiling, there was a hint of evil in his tone that he could not shake off.

"Five hundred guards, not a single one left."

Lu Zhan hissed, and then gave Guan Xiyu a thumbs up.

Wei Chuyang's expression did not change much. The emperor's five hundred guards were only loyal to the emperor himself. These people were different from the imperial guards and royal troops outside. They simply could not be subdued. Since they could not be subdued, they could be killed. If they were allowed to

If he comes to deal with these guards, he will also leave none behind.

"What are you doing in the Queen's Palace?" Wei Chuyang asked again.

Guan Xiyu finally finished washing her hands, stood up slowly, sighed, and said helplessly: "There was so much commotion in the palace, and the queen stayed in seclusion. Although Xie Yu led his people to control the queen's palace, it can't just be like this.

Bring someone to break in directly, after all, she belongs to His Highness no matter what..."

At this point, Guan Xiyu paused for a moment, and then said: "That's why His Highness can only go in person."

Wei Chuyang and Lu Zhan didn't speak when they heard this, but Wei Chuyang turned directly and walked towards the Queen's Palace.

After Lu Zhan and Guan Xiyu saw this, they followed him one after another.

As for the Queen's Palace...

Xiao Tingyun and Long Jiu did not go in directly after arriving here, but stood outside the palace.

Xie Yu led a thousand people and surrounded the Queen's Palace like an iron barrel. Not even a mouse could get in or get out, not even a fly.

Xiao Tingyun stood outside the palace with an unpredictable expression, quietly looking at the closed palace door.

Long Jiu also stood with him and did not urge him to go in.

He and Long Jiu didn't speak, so Xie Yu naturally didn't dare to say anything.

For a moment, the atmosphere outside the Queen's Palace was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

I don't know how long it took before Xiao Tingyun looked away from the closed palace door, then turned his head and said to Long Jiu: "I haven't been here for sixteen years since my father died."

After hearing this, Long Jiu reached out and held Xiao Tingyun's hand.

Xiao Tingyun felt her concern and smiled slowly at her: "I'm fine. I know that one day I will come here again, and I have been waiting for this day for sixteen years."

Long Jiu held his hand tightly. She originally wanted to say something, but looking at the smile on Xiao Tingyun's face, she couldn't say anything.

However, Xiao Tingyun seemed to have adjusted his emotions. He held Long Jiu's hand and said with a smile: "Go in."

Long Jiu nodded, and just as the two were about to go in, there was a movement behind them, and an angry voice also came from behind.

"Go away! How brave are you to stop His Highness?"

Xiao Tingyun and Long Jiu looked back at the same time, and saw that the third prince Xiao Xingyang, who was supposed to be confined in his dormitory, walked in angrily, and behind him, the fourth princess Xiao Xingyue was actually followed.

Both brother and sister were filled with anger, but when they saw Xiao Tingyun standing outside the hall, they both stopped.

Xiao Tingyun looked at the two of them indifferently and asked calmly: "What are you doing here?"

When Xiao Xingyang saw Xiao Tingyun, he was like a mouse meeting a cat. He immediately scorned, but Xiao Xingyue glared at him angrily and asked sternly: "What are you doing? We should ask His Highness the Crown Prince, what are you doing?

What are you going to do? Bringing people into the palace, do you want to force the palace?"

Xiao Tingyun calmly looked at Xiao Xingyue who questioned him, "Yes, Gu is just trying to force the palace."

His answer was so straightforward that it actually choked Xiao Xingyue, who had just questioned him sternly.

After Xiao Xingyue choked for a moment, she seemed to finally realize what Xiao Tingyun said. Her face turned pale, she pointed at Xiao Tingyun and said: "You...you are so brave!"

"You are not as courageous as Gu's good uncle, your good father." Xiao Tingyun said lightly: "After all, Gu only forced the palace, and did not kill him. He killed the king and his brother for the throne back then."

When the words "Kill the King and Kill the Brother" came out, not to mention Xiao Xingyue trembled in shock, Xiao Xingyang's legs went weak and he sat down on the ground with a thud.

Xiao Xingyue looked at Xiao Tingyun in horror, and after a long while she said with a trembling voice: "You...you are talking nonsense!"
