Chapter 208 Mutiny
Ten days passed by with a snap of the fingers.

The atmosphere in the imperial capital was unusually dull and solemn.

Everyone was waiting for Emperor Xiaoyuan's anger, and they were all waiting for Emperor Xiaoyuan to hold a court meeting to discuss the abolition of the crown prince.

Something weird happened.

Emperor Xiaoyuan neither convened a great court meeting nor made a decision on the abolition of the prince.

This matter has been deadlocked like this.

No one could guess what Emperor Xiaoyuan was thinking, what was going on in Emperor Xiaoyuan's heart.

Among the entire imperial capital, Concubine Wan is the most anxious and irritable.

Ever since Qingsuo went to Xu Guanhai with her handwritten letter that day, Qingsuo has never come back, not even a single message, life or death is unknown.

In the Yonghe Palace, the forest is cold and desolate.

Concubine Wan was pacing back and forth in the palace, her pretty face was full of anxiety and worry.

"Could it be that Qingsuo was captured by the Imperial Forest Army?"

"If caught, why didn't the Imperial Forest Army move at all, shouldn't they come to confront me?"

"Or, Qingsuo successfully escaped from the palace, but betrayed me, instead of looking for Xu Guanhai, he hid instead?"

At this moment, a soldier dressed as the Imperial Forest Army sneaked into the Yonghe Palace.

"Greetings, Concubine Wan!"

The soldier knelt on one knee in front of Concubine Wan.

"You are?" Concubine Wan looked at the soldier kneeling on one knee, wearing the military uniform of the Imperial Forest Army, but her demeanor did not look like that of the Imperial Forest Army.

"Reporting to Concubine Wan, I am the captain of Lord Hou's personal guard, and I am here to save you, Madam, today!"

Father's man!

Concubine Wan was excited, and swept away the previous haze and anxiety.

"Has father come to the imperial capital yet?" Concubine Wan asked with concern. In her opinion, as long as her father returns to the imperial capital, Emperor Xiaoyuan will not look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, but for the sake of the champion. He locked himself in the cold for the rest of his life.

However, what the soldier said next was completely beyond Concubine Wan's expectations, and even frightened Concubine Wan very much.

"Qi Madam, Lord Hou has not arrived at the imperial capital yet."

"Why not in the imperial capital? With my father's foot strength, I can return to the imperial capital within a day." Concubine Wan's eyes flashed curiosity.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The speed of the army is limited. It will arrive at the outskirts of the imperial capital at the earliest."

"As the vanguard, this subordinate sneaked into the palace specially to rescue your mother!"

Army?

Father came to the imperial capital with an army!
Concubine Wan's head was stunned for a moment.

What is father going to do?
Rebellion?
Concubine Wan was taken aback by this news, her slender jade hands were trembling uncontrollably.

Although she hoped that her father would return to the imperial capital and rescue her from the cold palace, she never had any intention of rebelling.

Father, how could he be so radical?
There must be other reasons.

Concubine Wan calmed down, fixed her eyes on the soldiers, and shouted sharply.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"My father is loyal to His Majesty, how could he do something that would cause trouble?"

The soldier patiently explained to Concubine Wan: "Your Majesty, Lord Hou did not commit any trouble. We are only here at the Prince's invitation to come to Emperor Qing's side!"

Prince's invitation!
Qing Jun's side!
hiss--

Concubine Wan gasped, as if shocked by the news.

The cowardly prince actually has such guts.

Based on Concubine Wan's understanding of the prince, the prince appears to be powerful on the outside, but in fact he is a ruthless master.

He actually wanted to be on the side of the Qing emperor, and it seemed that he was cornered by Emperor Xiaoyuan.

"What conditions did the prince use to impress his father?" Concubine Wan asked.

"After the matter is completed, the crown prince will be appointed as the regent, commanding the five southern counties!" The soldier said with a blushing face.

Concubine Wan clicked her lips, her pretty face was full of shock, as if she was amazed at the handiwork of the prodigal prince.

The five counties in the south will send it away as soon as they say it.

The ancestors of the Wu royal family knew about this, and wondered if they would be so angry that the coffin could not be held down.

"In addition, the prince also promised that after ascending to the throne, you will be named empress, empress, and your mother will honor the world!"

"My lady, please follow me out of the palace and go to the hiding place, so that after Lord Hou launches an attack, Emperor Xiaoyuan will take your wife for surgery!" The soldier urged in a low voice, feeling a little anxious in his heart.

"I'll change my clothes and I'll go with you!"

Concubine Wan knew the seriousness of the matter, she took off her palace attire, put on a eunuch uniform, and followed the soldiers to leave Yonghe Palace.

……

Night falls.

The usual rustling of insects and birds has all disappeared.

It seems that even these ants and insects can feel the chilling atmosphere in the air of the imperial capital.

Twenty miles away from the imperial capital.

A large army marched silently.

It was clearly an army of tens of thousands of people, but there was no sound at all, like ghost soldiers, it made people feel terrified.

This army is the most powerful army in the Wu Kingdom, the Zhen Guo Army.

After agreeing to Prince Qingjun's request, the champion marquis used military tactics to sneak across Chen Cang, leading an army of tens of thousands to the imperial capital quietly.

Generally speaking, when a large army crosses the border, there must be great movement.

However, sneaking through Chen Cang, a military strategist's unique skill, can turn decay into magic. Concealing the whereabouts and movements of the army in a short period of time is an excellent strategy for surprise attacks.

This time, it was also the first time that Champion Hou had used the trick of sneaking into Chen Cang to deal with Wu Guoguo.

Under the night, Champion Hou looked at the outline of the imperial capital and took a deep breath.

"Rest for a quarter of an hour!"

"At the moment of the child, enter the city to serve the king!"

……

East Palace.

Xu Guanhai, as the No. [-] figure in the Zhen Guo Army, was not in the Zhen Guo Army, but appeared in the East Palace.

Why?

Because the Zhen Guojun has the champion Hou commander, there will be no problems.

Xu Guanhai's mission is to enter the imperial capital, help the prince, and get rid of several princes.

The Zhen Guojun quietly returned to the imperial capital, and it must not be concealed for long.

The rest of Wu's army will surely come to serve the king soon.

Although Zhen Guo's army is strong, it is really unwise to resist all Wu's troops with one's own strength.

Therefore, the champion Hou and the prince had planned for a long time.

After breaking the city, he beheaded Emperor Xiaoyuan and other princes who seized the throne.

Once Emperor Xiaoyuan falls, the crown prince will become the only heir, inheriting the throne of Wu, and then in the name of the new emperor, he will order King Qin's army to return to the station.

Wu's army, in the face of no other targets worthy of allegiance, will obey the prince's order and return to the station in all likelihood.

The only thing worthy of vigilance is Willingbo's Welling Army.

But on Willingbo's side, Champion Hou had already arranged for other great masters to deal with it, so there was no need for Xu Guanhai to take action.

Xu Guanhai's goal is to cut off all the princes who can affect the prince's succession.

As for the farmer's side, Champion Hou also made arrangements, and sent envoys long ago to make promises to Zhou Qingchuan and Zhang Jingzong.

As long as the peasant family is neutral, after the prince ascends the throne, he still believes in the peasant family. The peasant family is in charge of the civil servants, and they are in charge of the army.

Xu Guanhai believed that as long as Zhou Qingchuan and Zhang Jingzong were sensible, they would not interfere with tonight's affairs.

"General Xu, is your manpower ready?" The prince blushed and asked impatiently.

How could he not be excited at this time?
After tonight, the country of Wu is his world.

He is the supreme king of Wu.

With a faint smile on the corner of Xu Guanhai's mouth, he nodded.

"Your Highness, all the manpower is in place, as long as you give an order, you can launch an offensive."

"Just, before doing it..."

Xu Guanhai's words were halfway through, but he didn't continue, the prince understood and nodded slightly.

"General Xu, don't worry, for the sake of the friendship and alliance between Gu and Champion Hou, those who are unfaithful and unrighteous will be handed over to you, General Xu!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding!" Xu Guanhai's mouth curled up in a triumphant arc.

Xu Guanhai seemed very satisfied with the prince's attitude, and bowed his hands to the prince.

"Your Highness, I'll deal with that person first!"

"After a quarter of an hour, start to attack. The Fifth Prince poses the greatest threat to Your Highness, so let's use the Fifth Prince for surgery."

After finishing speaking, Xu Guanhai got up and left, and came to the other courtyard.

This courtyard is the residence of Mr. Dong, the Prince's confidant.

Mr. Dong is the Crown Prince's confidant, and when he comes here on weekdays, he needs to be notified at various levels and get Mr. Dong's approval before he can meet Mr. Dong.

It's just that tonight, Xu Guanhai had a domineering attitude. He broke into Mr. Dong's other courtyard and kicked the door away with a domineering expression.

Mr. Dong's expression changed slightly when he saw Xu Guanhai approaching menacingly.

"General Xu, what do you mean?"

A ferocious smile appeared on the corner of Xu Guanhai's mouth, very much like a Rakshasa from Jiuyou.

"what for?"

"Why do I come here, Mr. Dong, you are so smart, you are the prince's think tank, don't you know?"

Hearing this, Mr. Dong's eyes showed a hint of obscurity and gloom.

"It's because of Concubine Wan's matter!" Mr. Dong sighed, and said lightly, with an expression of disregarding life and death.

He suggested to the prince himself that he would kill Concubine Wan to silence her.

Although this proposal was made in a very secretive manner, it was still known to the Champion Hou family.

Concubine Wan is the most beloved daughter of Champion Hou. Proposing to kill Concubine Wan by herself is tantamount to breaking the taboo of Champion Hou. How can a champion Hou tolerate him?

Although he knew that he would become a thorn in the side of the Champion Hou's lineage, Mr. Dong was still lucky that the prince could withstand the pressure of the Champion Hou.

It's just that he didn't expect the prince to be so spineless.

Today, in order to form an alliance with the champion Hou, I sacrificed my confidant.

In the future, who would be willing to die for the prince?

Let's not talk about tonight's Qingjun side, whether it can succeed, even if it succeeds, the prince is just a puppet in the hands of the champion.

Deep regret emerged in Mr. Dong's heart involuntarily.

He regretted that he had assisted the crown prince to realize the idea of ​​revenge in his heart.

Prince, not Mingjun!

On Mr. Dong's face, there was a deep sense of helplessness and emotion.

God is going to kill him!

A crime of no war!
"Humph—it's easy to talk to smart people!"

"Since you know the cause of your death, you too can go to hell!" Xu Guanhai's ferocious smile became more intense and exuberant, like a sharp knife that cut his heart.

"General Xu, I already understand what the prince means!"

"But I hope to leave with dignity, and please allow me to kill myself, General!" In Mr. Dong's eyes, there was no fear of death, and he took life and death lightly and didn't care at all.

This appearance made Xu Guanhai's eyes flash with surprise and admiration.

This Mr. Dong is a character who can face life and death with equanimity. Not many people can do this alone.

If he hadn't recklessly wanted to kill Concubine Wan to silence her, Xu Guanhai still admired Mr. Dong very much.

Unfortunately, a little stupid.

As a think tank, he made an extremely stupid proposal.

"General Xu, please lend me your saber!" Mr. Dong said.

Xu Guanhai didn't think too much, and directly handed over his saber to Mr. Dong.

He was not afraid that Mr. Dong would do something extraordinary if he took his saber.

How could a frail scholar escape from his Wuzhi Mountain.

Mr. Dong pulled out his saber, and his appearance was reflected on the shiny saber.

With a long sigh, he drew his knife and slayed himself. He died generously and generously.

Xu Guanhai looked at Mr. Dong who was no longer breathing, and said to the servants of the East Palace.

"Give Mr. Dong an honorable burial!"

After dealing with Mr. Dong, Xu Guanhai took the prince and his confidants to the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

Under the darkness of night, the group of people are like cheetahs in the jungle, hiding their murderous intentions, ready to deliver a fatal blow to their prey at any time.

After a cup of tea, the fifth prince's residence fell into the eyes of the prince.

"General Xu, when will we do it?" the prince asked eagerly in his heart.

He couldn't wait to see Ji Tianci's panicked and terrified expression.

He couldn't wait, he wanted to put his foot on Ji Tianci's face, and then make a declaration of victory.

Tell Ji Tianci that he is the final winner.

"Your Highness, don't be impatient, we still have to wait for the east wind!" Xu Guanhai smiled mysteriously, looking confident.

"What Dongfeng?"

As soon as the prince finished speaking, suddenly, two terrifying auras erupted from the direction of the palace.

One of them, the crown prince is very familiar with, is the aura of Emperor Xiaoyuan.

As for the other way, the tyranny of Qi is not weaker than that of Emperor Xiaoyuan.Moreover, in the air mechanism, there is extremely terrifying evil spirit, as if it is Shura from Jiuyou.

"Champion Hou!"

The prince's face was full of astonishment, and the surprised eyes in his pupils flowed out like a trickle, and he couldn't control it.

Champion Hou unexpectedly attacked the palace by surprise, and fought his father to the death.

This is different from what he expected.

He thought that the champion Hou would lead the Zhenguo army first, defeat the Yulin army, and then use the momentum of the army to strangle his father.

Unexpectedly, the champion Hou was so bold and straightforward, entered the palace alone, and had a life-and-death showdown with Emperor Xiaoyuan.

"General Xu, Champion Hou, nothing will happen!"

"Your Highness, don't worry!"

"Hou Ye is the most powerful person in the Wu Kingdom."

"In this country of Wu, no one is a match for Lord Hou!"

There was a faint smile on Xu Guanhai's face. As for the confidantes behind him, when they heard the word Champion Hou, they even showed expressions of admiration.

In the Zhen Guojun, the champion Hou is the god.

It is an invincible god!

It is the supreme god!

"Your Highness, there is a female Grand Master in the Fifth Prince's Mansion who has just been promoted, and I will deal with it."

"The others, leave it to Your Highness!"

"What about Willingbo?"

"There are other great masters on Willingbo's side. If Willingbo knows the current affairs, he might be able to save his life and return to the field!"

"If he is obsessed with his obsession, hehe...tomorrow today will be the anniversary of his death!"

Xu Guanhai smiled coldly, and after finishing speaking, he took the lead, and a terrifying aura erupted.

The majestic aura directly smashed the gate of the Fifth Prince's Mansion into pieces!
