Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 239 The traitor Yu Shen has been executed, you villains, why don’t you surrender!

"presumptuous!"

Zhao Xun was furious and shouted angrily.

At the same time, the one thousand palace army guards stationed on the parade ground moved forward again, trying to put pressure on Xuanwu and other Jinyiwei.

But it was obvious that the Xuanwu Guards were well prepared.

Just as the palace guards were moving forward, the Xuanwu guards had already taken the lead in attacking Zhao Xun!

"Those who disobey the order will be killed without mercy!"

Xuanwu pulled the reins, drew his sword and started to kill!

The horse under Xuanwu sprinted and arrived in front of Zhao Xun in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Xun was horrified and subconsciously put his hands in front of him.

And the next moment, his right hand was cut off by Xuanwu's sword!

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The broken arm fell, leaving a trail of blood, and Zhao Xun let out a shrill scream.

The intense pain stimulated him, making him feel shocked, angry and frightened in an instant!

At this time, Zhao Xun had fully realized that Xuanwu had been deliberately picking trouble with him from the very beginning!

Including the previous verbal conflict, it was all done intentionally by Xuanwu.

Zhao Xun quickly stepped back, his eyes full of disbelief, and shouted angrily at Xuanwu: "How dare you attack me?!"

"To attack an official of the imperial court without authorization is a capital crime. Come, capture them!"

After receiving the order, a thousand palace guards rushed forward and tried to subdue Xuanwu and others.

The Jinyiwei drew their swords and pointed them at the one thousand palace army guards.

Although the number of the Palace Army Guards is ten times that of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

But there was no fear in the eyes of Xuanwu and others.

"The traitor Yu Shen has been executed. Why don't you surrender now, you scoundrels?"

"what?!"

When Xuanwu announced the news, the actions of all the palace guards on the parade ground came to a halt.

They were Yu Shen's confidants and knew more or less about the situation in the court.

All their hopes of success rested on Shen.

And now that Yu Shen has been executed, what is the point of their resistance?

Zhao Xun's heart also trembled, and his back was immediately wet with cold sweat.

The fear this news brought to Zhao Xun's heart was far greater than the previous blow from Xuanwu.

But Zhao Xun reacted quickly and shouted, "How dare you!"

"How dare you spread rumors and slander the current young master? Your crime is extremely heinous and you must not be punished!"

"What are you still standing there for? Kill them right now!"

Whether Yu Shen failed or not was something he would need to consider later. The most important thing now was to quickly capture these one hundred Jinyiwei.

Block the news and don't let the army get into chaos.

Under the command of Zhao Xun, the palace army guards quickly rushed towards the one hundred Jinyiwei and engaged in close combat.

Xuanwu also led his Jinyiwei and attacked these palace guards fearlessly.

For a moment, blood was splattered on the parade ground and shouts of killing were heard everywhere.

The commotion was so big that Zhao Xun couldn't hide it at all.

The soldiers in the tents near the central army camp all heard the sound of fighting.

Many people stood at the door of the tent, looking curiously into the central military camp, wanting to know what was happening in the camp.

But due to the order Zhao Xun had issued earlier, they could not take a single step out of the camp.

The changes in the parade ground naturally attracted the attention of Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng.

The two East Factory bosses were in the central army camp at this moment and witnessed the entire incident.

Of course, they also heard Xuanwu's words.

"The traitor Yu Shen was executed?!"

The two looked at each other, both with astonishment in their eyes.

At the same time, there was a hint of excitement.

"Yu Shen supported Prince Xing. Does Yu Shen's execution mean that... the emperor... no, it means that His Majesty has returned?"

"That is to say, Xuanwu now represents the will of His Majesty!"

The two exchanged glances and immediately reacted: "Quick! Go call the East Factory guards over and get rid of these scoundrels!"

Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng were extremely excited at the thought of Zhu Youtang ascending the throne again and their dream becoming reality.

This means that their current position is stable.

The Dongchang guards were stationed near the central army camp along with the main army and logistics troops.

Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng rode their horses around the central army camp, raised their arms and called out, and immediately gathered hundreds of Dongchang men.

Afterwards, the two of them didn't waste any more time, turned their horses around and headed straight for the parade ground!

"Everyone in the East Factory, listen up, follow me immediately to wipe out the traitors and kill the government troops!"

Hundreds of Dongchang soldiers rushed into the parade ground on horseback, raised their swords, and slashed at the one thousand palace guards!

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

The situation was originally reversed for the Palace Army Guards, who were having the upper hand, after the Eastern Depot guards joined the battlefield.

The Jinyiwei and the Dongchang guards joined forces to kill the palace guards without them having any chance to fight back!
Zhao Xun was horrified as he watched this scene, his eyes fixed on Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng: "My two eunuchs, you are helping this traitor, are you also going to rebel?!"

Zhang Yong sneered: "It's still unclear who the traitor is!"

"We are loyal to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Who are you loyal to? Is it Yu Shen?!"

"Ah?!" Zhao Xun's eyes widened, with obvious panic in his expression: "How did you know..."

Before he finished speaking, Ma Yongcheng shouted: "If it is true! Death befall you, traitor!"

Hundreds of factory guards firmly held the upper hand and continued to slaughter the rebellious palace army guards.

Zhao Xun looked horrified and shocked.

He didn't understand why he, who had an absolute advantage in numbers, was completely defenseless in front of hundreds of factory guards.

"Do not!!!!"

The number of palace guards surrounding Zhao Xun was decreasing, and the number of deaths among the palace guards had far exceeded Zhao Xun's expectations.

The entire army was on the brink of collapse.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zhao Xun covered his injured arm and tried to escape.

But he didn't run far, as Xuanwu took the lead and chased after Zhao Xun alone.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Xuanwu raised the cold knife and swung it down again!
This time, what was chopped off was not Zhao Xun's arm, but his entire head!

With the death of Zhao Xun, the palace army guards began to disintegrate and flee everywhere.

But when they screamed and rushed out of the training ground, they found that the Ming army had surrounded the training ground without them knowing when...

On the training ground, Xuanwu, who was covered in blood, looked at Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng and nodded indifferently: "Thank you for your help, both eunuchs."

Zhang Yong also nodded in return, and Ma Yongcheng said with a smile: "My lord, there is no need to be so polite. It is our duty to kill the traitors and share your worries."

Xuanwu nodded, and brought a few people to the outside of Wang Yue’s military tent.

Such a fierce battle just happened, Wang Yue must have heard it.

But he has never shown up, which means that Wang Yue's freedom is subject to certain restrictions.

Xuanwu walked into the military tent and saw a dozen palace guards standing in the tent.

Behind them was Wang Yue who was under strict surveillance.

When these palace guards saw that the person who walked in was Xuanwu covered in blood, their expressions immediately became desperate.

"Don't come over here!"

One of the palace army guards held a sharp knife, put it on Wang Yue's neck, and shouted loudly at Xuanwu.

His hands were shaking, and so was the tip of the knife.

Xuanwu stopped, fearing that he might upset the emotional palace guard.

"Let him go, and I'll give you whatever you want."

Xuanwu looked at the dozen or so palace guards, observing their positions while talking to distract their attention.

Wang Yue was also surprised when he saw Xuanwu: "Jinyiwei?"

"Is there any new news in the capital?"

Wang Yue took two steps forward excitedly, completely unaware that there was a sharp knife on his neck.

"Don't move! Swords have no eyes! I don't want to hurt the Governor!"

Another palace guard came forward and arrested Wang Yue.

Then he said to Xuanwu: "Prepare two fast horses for each of us, five days of dry food, and let us leave here!"

By holding the Governor of Southwest China hostage, these dozen or so guards knew that they were committing a capital crime.

But the problem is that apart from holding Wang Yue hostage, they really couldn't find another way to leave the military camp safely.

Xuanwu responded to all their requests: "Okay, I promise you, you can leave now."

Xuanwu said this and made way for them to go out of the tent.

A dozen palace guards were overjoyed and hurriedly escorted Wang Yue out of the tent.

Just when Wang Yue and Xuanwu passed each other, Xuanwu suddenly jumped up and knocked back one of the palace guards who was escorting Wang Yue with one palm.

Another palace guard was horrified and was about to continue to control Wang Yue, but Wang Yue rolled on the ground and rolled out of that man's control.

Immediately afterwards, several Jinyiwei who entered the tent with Xuanwu suddenly jumped up at the same time, approached these palace army guards at lightning speed, and launched a surprise attack.

The palace army guards were unable to resist and in just a few breaths, their necks were cut open by the Jinyiwei, and they died with hatred.

Wang Yue gasped and looked at the corpses and blood all over the ground. Only then did he feel completely relieved.

"Thank you, General, for your help."

"May I ask your name, General? I will never forget your kindness in saving the people."

Wang Yue didn’t know Xuanwu, he just bowed politely to express his gratitude.

Xuanwu also bowed in return: "I am the commander of the Jinyiwei, Xuanwu. You are a close minister to your majesty. It is just a trivial matter, so it is not worth mentioning."

"Governor, are you okay? What happened in there?"

Hearing the noise in the tent, Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng also walked in with several Dongchang men.

When Tan En saw the blood and corpses in the tent, he more or less guessed what had happened inside.

The greetings did not last long, and Xuanwu took out Zhu Youtang's imperial edict.

"Governor-General of the Southwest, General Wang Yue, listen to your orders!"

When Wang Yue saw the imperial edict in Xuanwu's hand, he was so excited that he shed tears and knelt down to listen to the order.

Zhang Yong, Ma Yongcheng, and others also knelt down.

"Your Majesty has ordered the Southwest Governor Wang Yue to immediately eliminate the rebels in the camp and set off again to Annan!"

"Your humble servant Wang Yue will obey the imperial decree!"

After Wang Yue kowtowed and accepted the order, the doubts in his heart were still not eliminated.

"May I ask General Xuanwu what exactly happened in the capital?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng also showed curious looks.

Xuanwu smiled slightly: "It's a long story if I talk about it."
