There were only two streets between the escort agency and the courtyard where the ninth princess lived. When the escort and the imperial guards started fighting, Jin Feng, the ninth princess and others heard the noise.
Before Ninth Princess and Qin Zhen could send people out to investigate, spies from the Secret Service had already come over to report.
"I am reporting to Your Highness that the escorts from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau are coming. Captain Yuan led the imperial army to stop them. They started fighting!"
"Are there any casualties?" Ninth Princess asked with a frown.
The imperial army is the emperor's trusted force, and the bodyguards are Jin Feng's people. A fight between the two sides is the last thing she wants to see.
"I'm far away and can't see clearly, but I smell blood. There should be casualties." the spy reported.
"The bodyguard has His Highness's jade medal and the Fish and Dragon Talisman given by His Majesty. Yuan Laosan still dares to stop him. Is he going to rebel?"
Qin Zhen said coldly: "Your Highness, please wait here while I go see what's going on?"
"Qin Dutong, wait a moment." Ninth Princess stopped him.
Now the situation of the Forbidden Army is unclear, Qin Peng has been plotted against, Qin Zhong has been hanged by the prince, and it is very dangerous for Qin Zhen to go out.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, Yuan Shijun once served as a personal guard under my father. He doesn't dare to do anything to me!"
Qin Zhen said that he was about to go out, but as soon as he raised his feet, another spy from the Secret Service came in.
"Report to Your Highness, Report to Qin Dutong, some bodyguards used flash bombs, Captain Yuan and others were captured by the bodyguards!"
"Flash bomb?"
Jin Feng, Ninth Princess and Qin Zhen all subconsciously looked up into the sky.
Sure enough, the hot air balloon had already floated over the small courtyard.
But the Eagle didn't know what Jin Feng's intention was in asking him to come over. Instead of landing immediately, he took out his bamboo whistle and blew a signal to ask for instructions on what to do next.
"Da Liu, let them come down." Jin Feng said helplessly.
At this point it was no longer possible to hide the hot air balloon.
"yes!"
Liu took out his bamboo whistle and ordered the eagle to land.
The eagle received the order, opened the curtain, and dropped a long rope.
Da Liu quickly asked the escort to pick up the rope and tie it to the tree to prevent the hot air balloon from floating away.
As the height of the hot air balloon got lower and lower, the Red Armor Army below could see more and more clearly.
"Oh my god, what is this?"
"For God's sake, a big flying house!"
"Look, there's someone in the house!"
"They say Mr. Jin from Jinchuan is a god. I didn't believe it at first, but now I do!"
"Who can make such a big house fly without being a god?"
“Now I’m not afraid of the Eastern Barbarians!”
The Red Armor Army in the yard had been curious about how Qin Zhen and Jin Feng suddenly appeared in the yard.
Now they understand.
It turns out that I came here in a big flying house.
Most human beings worship giants. For example, when they see majestic mountains, tall buildings, or huge cruise ships, they will have an illusion of their own insignificance.
At this time, from the perspective of the Red Armor Army, the hot air balloon was a super large object that covered the sky, almost covering the sky.
Many red-armored soldiers, including Liao Yin, felt invincible.
Both Princess Ninth and Qin Zhen had seen the hot air balloon just now, and they were the first to calm down.
While the hot air balloon was landing, the Ninth Princess looked at Qin Zhen and asked, "Qin Dutong, tell me honestly, did your father plan anything before?"
This time the chaos in the capital was a little too sudden, and the Ninth Princess noticed an unusual smell.
Qin Zhen was the emperor's confidant and one of the heads of the Secret Intelligence Department, so he had the best knowledge of all kinds of information.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
Qin Zhen did not answer directly, but pretended to be confused.
"Qin Dutong, now that the palace has been sealed off, why don't you just pretend to be stupid like me?"
Princess Ninth said with a cold face.
"this……"
Qin Zhen hesitated for a moment and looked at Jin Feng.
"Sir is one of our own, not to mention we have to rely on him to enter the palace to rescue us later. If you can tell me the news, you don't have to hide it from him!" said the Ninth Princess.
Qin Zhen took a deep look at Jin Feng and said: "After Your Highness killed Fatty Xu and others in Xichuan, the powerful officials in the whole court asked Your Majesty to punish His Highness severely. The same was true for the ladies in the harem. His Majesty's decrees could not even be issued normally.
His Highness also knew His Majesty’s temper and was very angry about it, so... so he said at the court meeting that whoever dared to touch Your Highness would be destroyed by the Nine Clans..."
"How could your father say that in public?" The Ninth Princess couldn't laugh or cry.
Jin Feng also raised his eyebrows.
He knew before that Chen Jier was soft-hearted and liked to listen to good things. But now when he heard what Qin Zhen said, Jin Feng suddenly thought of the rebellious child.
Chen Jigui was the emperor. Normally, the civil and military officials in the dynasty would just say nice things to make him happy. But now the civil and military officials suddenly united and went against his wishes and demanded severe punishment for the ninth princess. Naturally, the emperor was not happy.
But no matter how unhappy you are, even if you really want to kill someone's Nine Clans, you shouldn't say it in public.
Doesn't this force the powerful to rebel and force the palace?
Jin Feng was at a loss for words when meeting such a father-in-law.
The Ninth Princess wanted to say something else, but there was a burst of noise at the door of the small courtyard.
The bodyguards who had fought with the Imperial Guards lined up and poured into the small courtyard.
Seeing the men in black all over the yard, the escort battalion commander was startled.
It wasn't until he saw Jin Feng standing at the door of the hall that the battalion commander breathed a long sigh of relief and hurried over:
"Capital Independent Battalion Cao Dong, report to sir!"
The Zhenyuan Escort Bureau had only four battalions in total before. Later, as the scale of the Escort Bureau continued to expand, it expanded to three more battalions.
Cao Dong is one of the newly appointed battalion commanders.
"Thank you for your hard work, Commander Cao. Are there any casualties among our brothers?" Jin Feng asked.
"Two shield bearers were stabbed in the arms, but there were no deaths or serious injuries!" the battalion commander replied.
"Have arrangements been made for the captured imperial troops?" Princess Ninth asked again.
"I tied him to the side of the road. I don't know if he has run away now."
The battalion commander had been worried about Jin Feng before. After unloading the weapons of the Forbidden Army, he did not feel embarrassed. He just arranged for someone to tie up the Forbidden Army and came here with his bodyguard.
"Then don't worry about them." Jin Feng asked: "How many brothers do we have in the capital?"
"There are three hundred and sixty-three people stationed in the capital. I left one platoon of brothers to look after the house. I brought the remaining three hundred and one people with me!" Cao Dong replied.
A total of nearly two thousand escorts gathered around the capital, but in order to avoid being targeted by the powerful, most of them were scattered in the surrounding areas to cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce in promoting Shu cloth.
There are only more than 300 people in the capital.
"Qin Dutong, how many people are blocking the palace?" Jin Feng turned to look at Qin Zhen.
"The specific number has not been found out, but it is at least more than two thousand people!" Qin Zhen replied.
"We only have three hundred people, so a hard attack will definitely not work." Jin Feng thought for a moment: "Now we can only rely on hot air balloons."
As soon as he finished speaking, Eagle ran over and asked for instructions: "Sir, are you ready? What should you do next?"
Jin Feng did not answer, but turned to look at the Ninth Princess.
