I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 184 The Tsing Yi Department’s Goals
  The flames of war swept through the entire Shangjiang City.

On a normal day, Emperor Wan Jing would have been furious and scolded the general for his incompetence.

But today is different from the past. Now he has no power and nowhere to use it.

Without the [Edict], most of the civil servants in the imperial court were reduced to powerless scholars, cowering in fear under the protection of the army.

Now in the midst of a rebellion, if he scolds these generals, who will defend him?

What's even more troublesome is that King An's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain was successful and used the mortal golden dragon fish to attract the army to gather. Instead, King An's army dispersed in the city, and war broke out.

From the armory in the east of the city to the Dali Temple in the west of the city, entering the palace secret storehouse in the front, and the family members in the harem behind, all the positions that used the power of the [Imperial Law] to defend themselves, the formations were all ineffective, as if the city gates were wide open, and they were violently attacked by King An. attack.

And in this crisis, there is a very embarrassing situation.

Liumen, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple... these official offices that were once valued by Emperor Wanjing have now become unreliable.

Even his own son has rebelled. Now that the [Imperial Law] has been lost and people's hearts are scattered, how much trust can there be in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?

Now put all the imperial power and calculations behind you and see the reality clearly. Guess who is the most reliable?

That's right, the Tsing Yi Department, which he was always on guard against and thought about suppressing every day, was the most reliable.

Look at the Tsing Yi Department. In terms of resourcefulness, Cao An is the one who has the best strategy, and in terms of bravery, he is an unparalleled general. Even if it is just about loyalty, they are the first to stand up against King An.

It can be said that Tsing Yi Department is the most perfect subordinate at this moment.

But the problem is, Cao An shouted, 'You are finished! ', and then a group of people stood there.

Not moving at all.

It's like being tired from working and waiting in a daze to get off work.

Emperor Wan Jing took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart: "Generals, listen to the order and divide your troops to defend various military locations. You should be in charge and you will be responsible for the central support. As long as King An's main force is found, you will be responsible. Suppression.”

It was a good idea. With the strength of the Tsing Yi Department and King An's main force, as long as they could capture the thieves and capture the king first, this rebellion would not be a problem.

But the problem is, we are not stupid!

You eat the wine and meat, throw the hard bones to us to chew on, and I am so stupid that I will be treated like a dog for you.

Shu Zheng clasped his fists and replied: "Your Highness, we have fought continuously, and now we are exhausted and seriously injured. I am afraid that we will not be able to bear this important task."

Ying Changfeng had already learned the rhetoric from Cao An. He turned sideways and took the initiative to reveal his "tired teacher".

I saw Cao An holding his left shoulder and Zhu Xian holding his right arm. No wounds could be seen, but could it be that his arm was sprained?

Just because Huorong was too much and asked you to put it on, you actually covered your belly. You didn't know whether you were hungry or because you were in confinement.

In short, the current state of the Tsing Yi Department is at the critical point of maybe being able to fight, or maybe not.

Emperor Wan Jing felt angry instantly. He was not stupid. He knew that the Tsing Yi Department still had the strength to fight. This time he refused, just because he didn't want to fight to the death for him.

Thinking back on the recent relationship between the king and his ministers:
  First, Ying Huorong was seriously injured and forced to death, then he used the [Imperial Law] to regain military power, then suppressed the development of the Tsing Yi Department, and finally pressured Ying Huorong to marry outside.

Even Cao An, who is so impressive today, had his official title suppressed by him a few days ago.

It seems that the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is not very harmonious...

No matter how much regret I feel now, at least I have to deal with it now.

"Ying Aiqing, Cao Aiqing, this is a difficult time, you must stand up and shoulder the heavy responsibility!"

Does this mean I love you? Why can’t I feel love?

Cao An rolled his eyes silently, stepped forward, bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty, it's serious. We have so many talented people in our court, why should we be alone?"

"Oh? Do you have any good ideas?"

"I believe that Dali Temple has unparalleled combat power, and Mo Xiaoming, the young minister of Dali Temple, is the most talented person in the world. If he leads the army against King An, our Daxing will definitely save the day."

Mo Xiaoming:? ? ?

If it weren't for the inconvenience of swearing, Mo Xiaoming would probably rush up and spit at Cao An.

An hour ago, you called me a pig;
  After an hour, it’s time to fight the enemy with your life. Do you praise me as the most talented person in the world?
  Feeling the emperor's gaze, Mo Xiaoming's scalp went numb. Sniping at King An's main force was a narrow escape mission!
  He quickly replied: "Of course I am willing to share the emperor's worries, but I am afraid that I am not strong enough."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Cao An jumped in without saying a word, showing no signs of injury or fatigue.

He said righteously: "When we wanted to capture King An just now, the strength of your Qingyi Department in stopping me was obvious to everyone. Or was it that you could only stop us, but not King An?"

Cao An's words were tantamount to roasting Mo Xiaoming and mentioning his previous mistakes. Even Emperor Wan Jing's eyes were filled with suspicion.

Mo Xiaoming quickly replied: "I am loyal to Your Majesty, as the sun and moon can tell you. If I meet King An again, I will definitely cut off his head."

"Okay, well said!"

Cao An patted him on the shoulder: "Our Daxing needs corpses like yours... No, I mean, we need martyrs like you who sacrificed their lives for the country."

"..."

Doesn’t this still mean the same thing? Cursing him to death before the fight even started? Mo Xiaoming felt like his head was going to explode.

"Cao An, our six doors are not afraid of death, so we just go. What about you? You will never stay at home..."

"I will guard the palace." Cao An said without hesitation and blocked Mo Xiaoming's mouth.

"Are you willing to guard the palace?" Emperor Wan Jing's eyes lit up.

There is no doubt that the imperial palace is the most important place in Daxing.

Whether it is the jade seal or the treasure trove, they are the most important, and the attack they have suffered is also the strongest. If the throne is not lost and the emperor is not dead, it is not considered a country has been destroyed. If the Tsing Yi Department is willing to stick to the palace, that is the best.

"We are really tired from running around. Let's secure the palace and do some repairs." Cao An said, his eyes drifting to Emperor Wan Jing, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and his breath was like silk.

Emperor Wan Jing received the secret message, his eyes flickered, and he looked deeply at Cao An.

A friend in need is a friend indeed!

As long as this calamity can be overcome, Cao An must be put to good use in the future. He waved his hand and said: "Okay, it's settled. We will divide our troops to garrison immediately, and the Privy Council will fully investigate King An's movements!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Emperor Wan Jing finalized the plan, and the generals naturally took orders.

On the other hand, those civil servants, without the [Imperial Law], could even speak three points weaker. They just mingled in the army, fearing that they would fall behind and be killed by King An's rebels.

In this regard, Cao An felt that they were worrying too much. King An was the son of Emperor Wanjing. He only launched a rebellion to seize the throne, but not to destroy Daxing.

If these civil servants do not resist, they will still be used in the future. How can we waste time to massacre them?

……

Running wildly all the way, when Emperor Wan Jing led the Forbidden Army, Imperial City Department, and Qingyi Department back to the palace, there was already a chaos here.

The land mines that had caused many explosions in the city now exploded directly towards the palace gate, with unstoppable power.

Without the protection of the formation, most of the forbidden troops were transferred again, the assassins were plotted by the Taoists, and the palace gate was completely lost.

What's even more troublesome is that King An's team is so shameless that they even wear the uniforms of the Imperial Palace Guards to fight.

At this moment, there was chaos, and the leaders of the fighting group also accused each other of being rebels. Even Emperor Wan Jing could not identify who the enemy was for a while.

Let your own people defend and retreat?

But now they are all in chaos, and it is difficult to escape safely. If the stalemate continues, it will only delay everyone's return to defense.

Just when the emperor was about to be ruthless and order a charge to kill them all, Cao An stood up.

"Leave it to me." Cao An waved his sword handsomely: "Tsing Yi Department, follow me."

Without needing too much explanation, Cao Pian ran the water embroidery pattern with all his strength, and his figure was like ripples on the water, and he quickly rushed towards the battlefield.

How to identify enemies?

Isn’t that simple? Whoever has a guilty conscience is the enemy.

Before anyone arrived, the voice came first: "Traitor, give me your life!"

The powerful roar makes people's eardrums hurt.

If it were the garrison, they would definitely be overjoyed when they heard this shouting.

On the contrary, it must be a guilty conscience.

Several of them reflexively aimed their weapons and hidden darts at Cao An. If given the chance, they would definitely plot against him.

It's a pity that you don't have a chance.

[Lingxi Jue] was activated and the sneak attacks of several people were instantly captured.

With a step, his body quickly passed through the crowd, Wan Chao Jin fell heavily, not giving the other party a chance to argue, and raised his hands and lowered his head.

At the same time, the [Bafang Hidden Sword Style] also turned into sharp sword energy, killing several people with precise points.

In this moment, six traitors were killed.

The leader of the Forbidden Army was overjoyed: "Cao Shuixiu can understand who the traitor is. Let's hold on and let Shuixiu kill the enemy!"

This man's voice undoubtedly accelerated the defeat of the entire rebel army.

More people joined the ranks who wanted to sneak attack, and without any surprise, they were picked out by [Lingxi Jue] one by one. They picked up left and right, and there was no need to kill the enemy. The brothers behind them helped to finish the damage.

No one knew how Cao An could tell the difference, but the Tsing Yi Department walked around like a long line and made the situation clear.

The remaining rebels broke into a group, and the danger at the palace gate was finally resolved.

But then, worse news came. The garrison officer knelt down to plead guilty, saying that a large number of rebel masters had entered the palace gate, and they might have rushed to the Hall of Supreme Harmony at this moment.

Emperor Wan Jing's eyes sharpened and he looked at Cao An: "Cao Aiqing, the rebels in the palace are scattered now. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with them for a while. I will go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to deal with the main force. You..."

"Let's go to various parts of the palace to encircle and suppress the remaining rebels."

"So good."

Everyone:? ? ?
  The simple but not simple conversation ended so hastily.

Very good? The good thing? Why can't we see where we can come here?

The Hall of Supreme Harmony is where the Dragon Throne is. It is certain that Emperor Wan Jing will protect it. If the Tsing Yi Department does not come to help, just forget it. What did the emperor say?

Completely unable to understand the situation, everyone was shocked until Cao Anzhen led the team out of the emperor's sight.

"Cao An, when did Emperor Wan Jing become so easy to talk to?" Zhu Xian asked the question of greatest concern on behalf of everyone.

Cao An waved his hand and said lightly: "Of course I had a message with him and informed him of King An's deployment."

"What! Do you know King An's plan?"

"I don't know, but I can make some guesses. At least An Wang's target cannot be the palace."

"Why?"

"Because Emperor Wan Jing is not dead, it will be useless for King An to seize the Dragon Seat and the Jade Seal. Now there are rebels everywhere, all trying to contain us. It is impossible for King An to come to the palace to die on his own."

King An's strategy was a plan that relied on daring.

The advantage is that when it explodes, it is very powerful and catches everyone by surprise.

The disadvantage is that there are very few supporters. Even if he gets the iconic jade seal, he still cannot convince the public. He has no choice but to disperse the main force of the court or kill Emperor Wan Jing.

In the palace, there are still various worshipers gathered by the court, whose strength is definitely at the peak, such as the smiling Eunuch Yu.

If King An dared to come, they would really make dumplings out of them. His actions were so thorough that there was no way he could have made a mistake in the last step.

"There were a lot of people talking, and there must be Prince An's spies among them. I couldn't say it clearly, so I followed him back to the palace and secretly investigated Chen Cang's actions."

Everyone admired Cao An's careful planning.

only……

How did everyone end up at the secret treasury of the palace while walking?

"Is King An's goal here?"

"No, our goal is here."

"???"
