Chapter 499 Ruthless
No one knows how Yin Xiao appeared.

It wasn't until he got close to King Yan that the thief noticed his coming.

There was no sound of footsteps, all the strength in his body was hidden in his light and agile body, and he burst out just right, grabbing the powerless King Yan with one hand, and slashing the throat of the nearest person with his right hand.

The noisy thieves suddenly fell silent for a moment, and Concubine Zhang Gui even heard the sound of the silk being pierced—a sound that can be made when a sharp knife cuts across the skin.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Guifei screamed, and the thieves boiled like water in a frying pan.

Li Changfeng and others, who were struggling to support, were invigorated after seeing Yin Xiao, and they attacked the enemy one after another as if they were helped by a god.

Yin Xiao threw King Yan to Li Changfeng and blazed a way up to the second floor.

Because of his appearance just now, there are no thieves on the second floor, only corpses lying there.

He felt familiar and reassured by the corpse, but the reassurance didn't stop him.

He still wants to find King Jin.

Rummaging among the corpses, his hands were stained with blood. Soon, a hand stretched out from a pile of corpses, and made a soft voice: "Yin Xiao."

Under the protection of the brothers of the Pei family, King Jin survived by chance, and was soaked in blood from head to toe. His white jade-like face had lost its original color, leaving only blood.

Yin Xiao grabbed King Jin's outstretched hand and pulled him out of the body. At the same time, he found that King Jin was also injured by a knife and couldn't stand stably.

He supported King Jin, turned his head and looked downstairs - King Yan was captured, Concubine Zhang Guifei died in random killings, the thieves lost their backbone and began to retreat from Chunjin Pavilion in defeat.

"Kill...kill out..." King Jin took a deep breath, "...carry me..."

Yin Xiao didn't move, but said in a deep voice, "Where do you want me to carry you?"

"Go to Wende Palace... No, His Majesty's body is still here... We will stay here... Wait until the fourth watch..." King Jin reached out and grabbed Yin Xiao's clothes, "Wait here for the courtiers..."

A stream of blood poured out from his shoulder, dripping to the ground.

Yin Xiao shook his head: "You have avenged, I can take you out of the palace, you and the eldest lady, go to Tanzhou, if you want to stay here, don't trap the eldest lady here."

King Jin was taken aback, and it took a moment to realize Yin Xiao's meaning.

Today is dead, his business is over, he can take this opportunity to feign death, and stay and fly with Song Huiyue.

When the throne was only one step away from him, Yin Xiao gave him another way.

He stared, not expecting that Yin Xiao would let him make a choice at this time.

After the fight tonight, he also admitted that the imperial palace and the supreme throne are all imprisoning people.

Song Huiyue is the wind of freedom, this cage cannot hold her.

However, he has gone through ups and downs to get to where he is today. He can have the best of both worlds, so why must he cut off his wrists.

Victory receded from his mind, and Yin Xiao's ruthlessness made him calm down.

"I will make her queen, and you will still be your commander-in-chief of the forbidden army, and I will hand over the forbidden army to her."

Handing over the command of the Forbidden Army to the queen is equivalent to handing over one's own life.

King Jin looked at Yin Xiao, expecting him to let him go at this critical moment, and at the same time Song Huiyue's figure flashed in front of his eyes.

There has actually been a confrontation between Huang Quan and Song Huiyue.

Song Huiyue once also arrived at the Prince Jin's mansion one night exhausted physically and mentally. Looking at the tiger amulet on the table, she was full of puzzlement and doubts.

She is stubborn, keeps her promises, and regards what she has promised to be bigger than the sky. She has done it frankly and aboveboard, so she can't bear others' deception for any reason.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile wryly, at Song Huiyue's stubbornness, at his own greed.

There was a layer of tears in his eyes, which could hardly be restrained from streaming out.

Yin Xiao looked at him condescendingly, still indifferently: "You are too greedy."

He always remembered what Li Jun said to him: "Don't give King Jin a chance to put Song Huiyue in this golden cage."

He was always taciturn, and at this moment, he had nothing to say, just silently waiting for King Jin's choice.

The air was filled with the sticky smell of blood, and the thick smell was suffocating.

Time is passing, he can wait for a long time, but King Jin must make a decision as soon as possible.

A moment later, King Jin opened Yin Xiao's hand, gritted his teeth to endure the pain, and stood up straight.

He suddenly became taller, as if he was already high above, looking down on all living beings, the pleading on his face and the tears in his eyes disappeared without a trace, and the eyeballs became stone beads in the statue of God—no light, no emotion, only the indestructible cold and hard.

He gave orders to Yin Xiao: "Go down, hold here."

Yin Xiao squatted down and let King Jin lie on his back, then held a knife in one hand and supported King Jin in the other, and walked steadily down.

There were many battles in the palace, and the sound of fighting from the palace was heard outside the palace. People in the capital were panicked, and all civil and military officials waited anxiously. No news.

Under such restlessness, there was a bit of silence outside the south gate of Kyoto.

Yuan Ye led the garrison brought from Liangguang Road to station here, waiting for news from the palace.

Zhang Xuling paced back and forth outside the tent, holding a heart, clenched his hands into fists, and gritted his teeth.

"Master," Yuan Ye tried to calm him down, "We will see the outcome at four o'clock. Even if the palace is defeated, we are still here, and we can enter the city at any time."

Zhang Xuling nodded and was quiet for a moment: "I'm afraid they will kill King Yan directly."

"No," Yuan Ye waved his hand. "Even if King Yan is defeated, King Jin will not kill him. Otherwise, there will be no proof of death, and people will have the opportunity to question King Jin."

Zhang Xuling nodded again, and looked in the direction of the palace: "Why hasn't the fourth watch arrived yet?"

Just when Yuan Ye was about to go to see Kerouxiang, rustling sounds suddenly came from around.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xuling became alert, took two steps forward, and asked someone to check the surrounding situation.

Several garrisons ran forward, and soon there were screams.

Zhang Xuling shuddered suddenly, pulled out the knife casually, and backed away with a beating heart: "Master, what's going on?"

Yuan Ye was also a bit confused, so he could only lead Zhang Xuling back and forth, but soon, he knew the reason.

It's the private soldier of the Pei family.

The Pei family was loyal to the King of Jin, and they lay in ambush in the capital early on. Before entering the palace, the King of Jin had ordered them to pay attention to the mutiny, so tonight, it seemed that Zhang Xuling was waiting for the dawn, but in fact it was the private soldiers of the Pei family who were waiting for the opportunity to wipe them out.

"Where's the second child?" Zhang Xuling asked Yuan Ye loudly amidst the screams.

Yuan Ye retreated under the guard of the garrison: "Second master said that he will stay in Daxiangguo Temple until the fourth watch..."

He couldn't say the rest, and a knife pierced Zhang Xuling's chest.

"Master... Master!"
