Chapter 596 Chaos (VII)

The shot was accurate, fast and fierce.

Jiang Shaohua's face was cold. He twisted his right hand and shook the spear, stirring it in Wei Xiong's chest.

Wei Xiong let out a terrifying roar and died instantly.

Song Yuan shouted, "Wei Xiong is dead! Put down your weapons immediately and kneel down to surrender. We will not kill you!"

More than 20 guards followed Song Yuan in shouting, and the sound of Wei Xiong's death kept echoing. The morale of the rebels who rebelled with Wei Xiong was really in chaos.

Zheng Chen, who had been pretending to fight, suddenly turned around in shock. He could not see the dead Wei Xiong or Jiang Shaohua through the crowd of people.

But for some reason, Jiang Shaohua's face was so clear and kept shaking in front of his eyes.

If the news of Wei Xiong's death had not shocked the rebel, this moment of trance would have been enough to cause Zheng Chen to die without a burial place.

Gao Shan is dead!

Jiang Yi is dead!

Now, Wei Xiong is dead too!

The rebellion can be said to have been completely declared a failure!
What should I do next?
Zheng Chen dodged by instinct, occasionally swinging the long sword in his hand, his mind was in a mess. In his imagination, he and Jiang Yi suddenly raised an army to force the palace, and they could take over the palace in two hours at most.

By the time all the princes came to Beijing, the matter was already settled. He saw the right opportunity again, exposed Jiang Yi in public, killed the traitor, restored order, and supported King Ping to ascend the throne. King Ping was stupid and didn't understand anything, so he, a meritorious minister, naturally became the regent and the actual master of Daliang.

The first half of the plan went very smoothly. However, Jiang Shaohua arrived three days earlier than expected, which brought unpredictable changes.

He has revealed a flaw today... Even if he didn't have a flaw, based on Jiang Shaohua's understanding of him, he would still kill him to eliminate future troubles.

What should he do now?

A familiar figure suddenly bumped into him. Zheng Chen's shoulder was hit and he staggered. Fortunately, the man reached out and pulled him over, narrowly avoiding a spear.

"Come on!"

A very familiar face came into view, and he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Find a way to escape from the palace immediately, escape from the capital, the farther the better."

Zheng Chen's heart skipped a beat: "Father!"

Duke Anguo waved his spear and stabbed a traitor to death, whispering anxiously: "You know best what you have done. You will not be able to argue after a thorough investigation. Jiang Shaohua wants to kill you, run away!"

He doesn't want to escape!
He is not willing!

He was a powerful figure in the capital in his previous life, and he was scheming to reach the top as soon as possible in this life. Why did he end up escaping in embarrassment after all his scheming?
How could he lose to Jiang Shaohua?

"Go!" Duke Anguo turned around and glared at his son fiercely: "If you don't leave, I will tie you up myself in exchange for the safety of the Zheng family."

Zheng Chenjun's face turned pale and he clenched the long sword in his hand tightly.

He secretly colluded with Jiang Yi and instigated Wei Xiong and other generals to rebel. These things were unclear to others, but Duke Anguo understood them all after a little thought. Perhaps even his hidden desire to get rid of his own father was noticed by Duke Anguo.

Now, the Duke of Anguo reminded him to give him the last chance to survive. If he stayed in the palace, he would surely die.

The only way is the best way in the world. He didn't have time to think too much. Zheng Chen said nothing and suddenly turned around and left. Fortunately, the rebels had been defeated and knelt down to beg for mercy. Those who didn't beg for mercy were struggling desperately, and no one stopped Zheng Chen.

Duke Anguo suddenly had the urge to throw out his spear and kill this rebellious son. However, he just couldn't do it. This was his eldest son, whom he was proud of. He was extremely intelligent and was his pride. He was also the heir of the family that the Zheng family had cultivated with all their efforts and resources.

Unfortunately, he didn't pay attention and his son went astray, daring to do anything outrageous. He even had the terrible idea of ​​getting rid of his biological father.

Disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust! How could he give birth to and raise such an evil child!
Duke Anguo's eyes suddenly turned red, and he held the spear and began to kill the enemy with all his might.

At a distance of dozens of steps, there was brutal fighting everywhere. Jiang Shaohua had no time to look back and didn't know that Zheng Chen had already fled.

Jiang Shaohua used his spear to pick up Wei Xiong's body and raised it high into the air. His personal guards shouted, "Wei Xiong is dead! Those who kneel down and beg for mercy will not be killed!"

Soon, the rebels threw down their weapons and knelt down.

The remaining ones who refused to surrender were still resisting stubbornly, but the outcome of the war had already been decided. It was only a matter of time before the rebels were annihilated.

A burst of hurried footsteps was heard, accompanied by the screams and cries of several women of different ages.

Jiang Shaohua's heart sank and his eyes fixed.

But then they saw five or six rebels, with ferocious faces, escorting several women out of the palace. The first one, about forty years old, with a panicked and pale face, was Empress Dowager Li.

The other crying woman, who was much younger, was Concubine Fan Gui.

There was also a young girl with a beautiful face and a slender figure, her name was Princess Baohua.

Except for Empress Dowager Zheng, all the people with the highest status in the harem were found by the rebels and taken hostage.

"The Queen Mother and Concubine Fan are here, and the princess is in our hands too. You must put down your weapons immediately." The traitor who was holding Queen Mother Li hostage laughed grimly, his expression already somewhat crazy: "Otherwise, I will kill the Queen Mother immediately!"

"Jiang Shaohua, put down your weapons!" Empress Dowager Li cried out, "Save me!"

Concubine Fan Gui was not much better, she kept crying and shouting, "Princess, save me!"

Princess Baohua, who had been bedridden for more than half a year, was very courageous and straightened her back: "Cousin Shaohua, don't worry about us, kill the traitor immediately!"

There was no expression on Jiang Shaohua's face, and the spear in his hand did not shake, still poking the tall corpse.

These traitors were all Wei Xiong's personal soldiers and confidants. Seeing their master being killed by the princess and his body exposed in such a humiliating way, they were so angry that their eyes turned red.

Queen Mother Li cried out so hard that the traitor's eyes flashed with cruelty and he exerted force with his hands. Blood immediately appeared on Queen Mother Li's neck and blood spurted out.

Empress Dowager Li probably had her trachea injured and could no longer shout out, so she struggled and waved her hands.

Concubine Fan Gui was so frightened that she turned pale and trembled, but she dared not shout anymore, for fear of angering the rebel behind her and getting him to stab her.

"Cousin Shaohua, kill them quickly!" Princess Baohua's body was shaking and her voice was trembling violently.

As a pampered princess in the harem, the most terrifying thing she had ever seen in her life was being entangled in rumors. She would never have dreamed that one day, she would be held hostage by a traitor and wait to be killed like a pig or a dog.

Princess Baohua's tears kept falling from her eyes, but she bravely opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Shaohua, shouting loudly: "Kill the traitor!"
