There was chaos at the entrance to the imperial city.
Innocent civilians acting as shields, the border troops and guardsmen slashing fiercely, and the surrounding objects flying in the sky.
Seeing that they were about to lose their figures at the end of the long street, Fang Heng tightened his grip on the horse's belly and stepped forward.
Jiang Yi and others immediately followed, full of murderous intent.
They had been training since they were young, and had fought with the Tartars on horseback. They had already developed superb horse skills. They could easily avoid innocent people, and it was only a matter of time before they caught up with Fang Yuan and Zhu Changyu.
Chang Yan's frown finally disappeared, and then frowned again the next moment.
At the end of the street at the West Imperial City Gate, the swarming city defenders saw Fang Heng and others galloping around. They looked at each other and held hands to form a line.
They made walls of flesh and blood, and they allowed themselves to be trampled by horses, trying only to give the people behind them a chance to breathe.
"Is it worth it?" Fang Heng roared the question again.
Hundreds of horses carrying the border troops came over. As long as they did not tighten their reins and trampled on the bloody hooves of countless Tartars, they would crush the bodies of their compatriots.
Those are compatriots.
The same ethnic group, similar looks, similar accents, and even acquaintances.
At this moment, the two sides were at war with each other.
"It's not worth it. We have received kindness from the second prince, and now we have to pay him back with our lives." Someone said boldly and closed his eyes.
The defenders had no horses and could not fight against the cavalry with only iron swords.
It is not difficult to step on the past, but what is difficult is the iron hoof that is unanimously directed against the outside world, which needs to crush the cruelty of the compatriots.
Even after the delay of five thousand lives, it would be difficult to catch up with Zhu Changyu and Fang Yuan.
Fang Heng tightened his grip on the reins, suppressed his surging emotions, and turned his head to look at the banquet in the distance.
In the crowd, the young man shook his head slightly.
He couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or sad. He waved his hand and signaled the border army to collect their weapons and take the five thousand defenders into custody pending trial.
After the Imperial Guards bypassed the innocent people, they all came to help.
Chang Yan sighed, knowing that this palace chaos was truly over.
"Xiao Wu, are you going to let your two grandsons escape?" Zheng Ruqian came over, "They are a nuisance. If we don't get rid of them, there will be endless troubles."
"Don't worry." Xu Mo's expression remained unchanged, "There are still 30,000 troops outside. Anyone who encounters them will be arrested."
There is a key word here, as long as.
It means that if you can't hit it, it will still be quite troublesome.
Zheng Ruqian didn't understand. He breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up his fingers beside him and calculated the extent of collusion between government and business that he could achieve now.
The crowd quickly dispersed and went about their business.
Some were counting the injuries of innocent people, some were rectifying the damage to items in Fengtian Palace, some were comforting the frightened civil and military officials, and some were reminiscing with tears in their eyes.
"Brother." Jiang Chengfeng jumped up to Jiang Chengyuan in two or three steps, his eyes bright and expectant, "Why are you back?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a letter asking for elite soldiers, and I thought I could be of some help." Jiang Chengyuan chuckled and slapped his younger brother on the shoulder, "I heard that you passed the imperial examination? You will be admitted to the imperial examination this year, but you need to be named on the gold list. ah."
"That's natural. Brother, you are already a fifth-grade general. How could I be so far behind?" Jiang Chengfeng showed his big white teeth. "Brother, do you have time? I want to hear you talk about things on the battlefield. What you said in the letter is too much." simple……"
The two brothers were talking and laughing, obviously very close to each other.
Fang Heng watched from the side in a daze until he was hit by Zheng Ruqian's elbow. He reacted reflexively and almost took off the second brother's arm.
"Ah ah ah, brother murder." Zheng Ruqian screamed like a pig.
Jiang Sheng and Wen Zhiyun were startled, and they hurriedly gathered around, one asking and the other caring.
"I didn't, I didn't." Fang Heng murmured and stopped, and all the confusion disappeared.
"You, you." Jiang Sheng put his hands on his hips and poked the third brother, "Please be gentle, you know, we are kissing."
As the little girl grew up, she began to use a lecturing tone.
Fang Heng suppressed his smile and refused to argue with her.
Jiang Yi, who was next to him, put his head over and said, "Girl, isn't it possible to do something serious just by kissing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wu stretched out his hand and pinched the soft flesh of his waist, causing tears to fall from the pain.
Jiang San and Jiang Si laughed wildly beside them, "Fifth sister tells us with facts, even those who kiss can be very cruel."
Jiang Liu, Jiang Qi and Jiang Ba also laughed, and everyone burst into laughter.
How wonderful.
All are back.
Chang Yan stood in the middle of the crowd and looked at Xu Mo with a smile, "Where are the people from the Prince's Mansion?"
This palace chaos was not only a counter-rebellion, but also a touchstone, the key to detecting evil intentions and treacherous courage.
In the past, Sun Xiaosheng, who was ranked second in the list, took the initiative to come to the door, but Xu Mo hesitated, thinking that this person was suspected of being clingy, but he did have some talent, so he was a useless person who could only be worried about but not regretful.
In the end, Chang Yan said that as long as he took the initiative to join the Prince's Palace, he would be paid.
Whether you have evil intentions or are cowardly, your sincerity is not afraid of fire, and your upright feet are not afraid of crooked shoes.
Those who should come cannot escape, and those who should escape cannot escape.
At the beginning of the palace chaos, some people were watching the staff of the Prince's Mansion, observing their behavior and observing their unusual movements.
It was not until the chaos in the palace was over that the personal guard finally appeared, cupping his hands and saying, "Back to Your Highness, none of the staff in the Prince's Mansion... made any move."
Not only were they well-behaved and honest, they also tried their best to offer suggestions and cooperate with the Imperial Guards in the rescue.
This result is indeed somewhat unexpected.
While Chang Yan was still pondering, Sun Xiaosheng had already rushed over with his staff. When he saw His Highness the Crown Prince intact, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince." The staff saluted politely.
Chang Yan's face showed no signs of calming down, "Everyone, please get up, I just scared you."
After a pause, he continued, "This palace chaos was too unexpected. Do you have any thoughts?"
More than a dozen of the prince's staff looked at each other, hesitantly not knowing what to do.
The chaos in the palace is the royal family's own business. If the royal family succeeds or fails, what does it have to do with the staff?
Until Sun Xiaosheng seemed to have an epiphany, he took a step forward and said, "May I ask, Your Highness the Crown Prince, if you have any doubts about the voluntary defection of our staff and others?"
Chang Yan remained silent.
The Prince's Mansion has just been established, and without a long period of tacit cooperation, how can there be trust.
Sun Xiaosheng didn't expect a response, so he cupped his hands and said, "I am ranked first with Xu Zhuangyuan, and I have also been jealous of his outstanding grace. Jealous of him, I have to admire and praise him, but I personally think that this kind of jealousy can happen to anyone. As long as you control your behavior, it is no different from emotions such as joy and displeasure.”
"I know clearly that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good relationship with Xu Zhuangyuan, and I was once jealous of Xu Zhuangyuan, but I still want to defect to the Prince's Mansion. This is because the Prince's Mansion is the general trend. Since I am ambitious, it is reasonable to defect to the general trend. I am open-minded and responsible. People explore.”
"I also want to believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the capacity to accommodate others and divide responsibilities based on talent, rather than distance based on closeness."
"Your Majesty, Sun Xiaosheng, is willing to assist the Crown Prince, fulfill the duties of a minister, and contribute to the world."
