Looking at the high-spirited young man, his whole body was in tatters, and his face was even more bruised.
Xiao Yan was rarely gentle: "There was a delay in the palace for a while, but I will come as soon as it is done."
Di Tao groaned twice, aggrieved and angry: "Uncle, you don't know how shameless that thief Shang Qin is. He delayed the feint attack and even led troops to attack the city without authorization. Just now he wanted to kill Jinyun and me..."
"The Governor knows."
Just hearing the killing outside and the blood all over the ground, one knew what Long Tingwei had done.
Xiao Yan patted his head and motioned for Di Tao, who was full of anger, to stay aside. He glanced at Jinyun and the others, and saw that their bodies were covered in wounds, and their eyes became darker. He walked out of the crowd and walked to the palace gate. He stood in front of him and looked up at the man on horseback opposite.
"General Shang, you broke your promise."
Shang Qin looked down at Xiao Yan, who was covered in blood, with a sarcastic look on his face: "Since I have not made a promise, how can I break my promise?"
When Xiao Yan approached him through Di Shuangcheng, he only said that Emperor An's succession was unorthodox. He mentioned in words that Long Yuling was not in the hands of Emperor An, and that countless people had died in the past in the Southland. He only said that he would arrange the affairs in the Southland. He led troops to the capital to find Emperor An and question the truth, but he never said he wanted to help Xiao Yan.
Shang Qin said coldly: "You conspired with the Di family, but you forgot that Longting Guard was built by Taizu to protect the royal family and protect the Xie family. You encouraged this general to lead troops to the capital to act for you, but you didn't think How could I, the general, join forces with rebellious officials and traitors like you?"
"You used the name of the He family to try to endanger the royal family and colluded with the Di family to cause trouble in the capital. Naturally, I, the general, will get rid of this traitor like you on behalf of Your Majesty."
"You are the traitor!" Di Tao opened his mouth and cursed.
Xiao Yan waved his hand to stop what he was saying. When he looked up at Shang Qin, he was obviously a bit shorter than him but not the least bit more imposing: "So what General Shang means is that the Longting Guards are here to visit King Qin?"
"certainly."
"But Your Majesty is not injured at all, and has issued an order to rectify my name. There is no palace incident tonight, so why is King Qin here?"
"impossible!"
"There is nothing impossible about the holy decree. If General Shang doesn't believe it, I can ask all the ministers to come to the palace gate to testify, and you can ask them one by one."
Xiao Yan looked directly at Shang Qin and spoke captivatingly: "Your Majesty knows that the Longting Guards left the northwest without authorization and invaded the capital, which may lead to military disasters, so I ordered my governor to lead the imperial army out of the palace with a tiger talisman, and ordered you to retreat as soon as possible. If Anyone who disobeys will be punished as treason!"
Shang Qin looked at the bright yellow imperial edict that Xiao Yan took out and the tiger talisman on it, with a particularly ugly look on his face.
He had obviously delayed his arrival in Beijing and had not sounded the drum according to the previously agreed time. He even deliberately let Liu Tongen's men enter Beijing and allowed them to kill Di Tao and others. When he realized that the chaos in Beijing was about to begin, Then he led people to attack the city and enter Beijing.
But for such a long time, even if Emperor An failed to capture Xiao Yan, he actually gave him the imperial edict of pardon, and even the Tiger Talisman fell into his hands? !
Andy, this waste! !
Shang Qin's face turned cold: "You led people to intimidate the Forbidden Palace, and caused trouble in the capital with Di Tao. There are killings all over the place tonight. Who knows where this imperial edict and the tiger talisman came from. Maybe even His Majesty has been brutally murdered. What are you trying to do? Take orders to order the princes."
"Long Tingwei listened to the order and immediately entered the palace to rescue him. Don't listen to this bull's nonsense. Anyone who blocks his way will be killed!"
The swords shook, the armor was tight, everyone in the imperial army tensed up, and Di Tao tightened his grip on the spear.
Xiao Yanhan said: "I have the tiger talisman in my hand. Does Long Tingwei want to rebel?"
Shang Qin sneered: "The Tiger Talisman can command the army, but I, the Longting Guards, are not at the mercy of anyone. Even the Tiger Talisman wants me to stop this general..."
"The Tiger Talisman doesn't work, what about the others?"
Xiao Yan was not afraid of the approaching Longting guards: "Shang Qin, you don't even recognize Taizu's seal?"
What?
Shang Qin's expression changed drastically, thinking that he had heard wrongly, but Xiao Yan, who was opposite him, was holding something up in his hand. The thing was no bigger than a tiger talisman. Although he couldn't see clearly from a distance, his heart was beating wildly for no reason.
Long Yuling...
It's Long Yuling!
But how could this thing be in Xiao Yan’s hands? !
Shang Qin wanted to tell himself that Xiao Yan was deceiving him. The Long Jade Order had been lost for many years. He just found it randomly and wanted to force him to retreat first with Long Tingwei, but Xiao Yan's face was too much. Calm, those eyes still have a soul-stirring coldness even though they are so far apart.
Shang Qin firmly grasped the long knife in his hand and said sternly: "What kind of token of Taizu? A mere traitor wants to deceive this general."
"Don't listen to his nonsense, come to the palace to save him, all traitors will be killed without mercy!"
The sound of Long Tingwei rushing forward made Di Tao and the others change their expressions, and even Yu Yanfeng, who followed them, tensed up.
"Uncle Xiao!" Di Tao whispered: "The Shang family has rebelled..."
Shang Qin doesn’t recognize Long Yuling at all!
Xiao Yan seemed to have known Shang Qin's reaction a long time ago, and also knew that Shang Qin would not retreat after taking out the Dragon Jade Order. He seemed to just go through the process, put the Dragon Jade Order back to his body and put it away, then saw the leader of the troops galloping away. Shang Qin came and said coldly: "Retreat!"
Di Tao staggered as he was dragged away, and Yu Yanfeng subconsciously stepped back.
Xiao Yan was standing at the front. As soon as he retreated, the forbidden troops who were following him also retreated behind the palace gate.
Shang Qin rode his horse to the Jinshui Bridge, and saw an arrow shot from a high place, landing far on the bridge head. As soon as Shang Qin showed disdain on his face, he found that the arrow fell with a "bang" and scattered. Opening up, there seemed to be fire jumping out.
"No, go back quickly!!!"
When Shang Qin screamed loudly, a shocking loud noise was heard from the Jinshui Bridge. People flipped over as the ground shook. The sky-high fire and explosion calmed everyone.
"This...this is..."
Yu Yanfeng was stunned.
Xiao Yan looked calm: "It was a small gadget that I accidentally discovered when I was searching for alchemists for His Majesty."
Yu Yanfeng opened his mouth and looked at the collapsed Jinshui Bridge and the mutilated corpses on the ground. He swallowed hard and said: "It turns out that Governor Xiao has been prepared..."
When he said this, he suddenly paused, and his face turned pale the next moment.
Although the Jinshui Bridge is outside the palace, it is not far from the palace gate. The Forbidden Army patrols and guards it every day. How did Xiao Yan let someone bury this "little thing" under the Jinshui Bridge under the eyes of the Forbidden Army? They can tamper with people in front of the palace gate, but what about inside the palace? Where is Zichen Palace? Could it be that these "baubles" were also buried?
If the palace changes tonight, nothing will happen to Xiao Yan.
If Liu Tongen brought people inside, after the sound of war drums outside came, His Majesty would still fight to the death, unwilling to give in, and forced Xiao Yan and others to stay in the palace.
At this time in Zichen Palace...
Yu Yanfeng shivered violently, feeling chilled all over, and the forbidden troops who followed him out of the Zichen Palace were also fighting in two groups, and they were shocked to realize that they had circled around the Palace of Hell.
Ditao also silently hugged his spear tightly.
Cruel, his uncle is still ruthless.
