Rebirth of the fire-baked concubine

Chapter 980
After running wildly for an hour, Dongfang Chen finally ran into the reinforcement team who came after seeing the distress signal.

The reinforcement general left some people behind to escort Dongfang Chen to Yancheng, and led others to continue to advance to meet the defenders trapped in Xiling City.

After running wildly all night, when Dongfang Chen arrived in Yancheng, it was already daylight.

Knocking on the city gate, Dongfang Chen entered the city and quickly wrote a will. After finishing writing, he looked at it, gritted his teeth, quickly rubbed it off, wrote another one, and then ordered coldly: "Send my will immediately In the capital, let the traitors Yun Shangren, Lin Qishan, and Ning Guogong’s family be arrested immediately, and closely guarded, waiting for my order.”

Then, Dongfang Chen wrote several orders in succession, handed them to the people around him, and ordered: "Go to the north, east and southwest borders to pass on my orders, and let the generals of the Yun family, Bai family and Lin family each bring 2000 troops. Immediately set off to come here for reinforcements, if it is less than a month, it is regarded as a rebellion. I immediately ordered the killing of their nine clans."

This is why Dongfang Chen rejected the first decree just now. He originally wanted to kill the Yun family, Lin family and Bai family immediately, but when he thought of the generals of the three families who were guarding the border, he changed his mind.

"Your Majesty, I'm really curious about what good conditions Dongfang Xu promised Yun Jingxi, Lin Qishan and Bai Ruoxi, so that the three of them would defect to him regardless of the safety of their own family." A general said harshly.

Hearing this, Dongfang Chen's complexion suddenly darkened. The people around him betrayed him, which not only caused him heavy losses, but also showed that he was not as good as Dongfang Xu, which undoubtedly gave him a resounding slap in the face.

"What could be the condition? Xu Wang must have used some despicable means to threaten Lin Qishan and Bai Ruoxi." Someone saw that Dongfang Chen's expression was not good, and he gave the reckless general a look, and said hastily.

"..." Dongfang Chen's face was cold, he looked around the crowd coldly, and then said in a deep voice: "Pass down the order, strictly guard Yancheng, and don't let the rebels take advantage of it again."

"Yes." Everyone bowed in response.

"Let's all get out." Dongfang Chen waved his hand coldly.

Everyone retreated quietly, Dongfang Chen looked at the backs of these generals, and a suspicion came to his mind uncontrollably: whether any of these generals had surrendered to Dongfang Xu, just like Lin Qishan and Bai Ruoxi, they were also waiting for the right time to give him one strike.

It seemed that he would have to have them well watched to ascertain their loyalty.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Chen waved for a personal guard, and assigned the task of monitoring all the generals in his ear.

At noon, the team that went to meet them and the remaining defenders of Xiling City finally returned.

Just as Dongfang Chen had expected, less than 5 of the 5000 people in Xiling City returned.

Dongfang Chen was so angry that he dropped everything on the desk.

However, after three days, Dongfang Chen didn't even have the strength to breathe.

News came from the capital that Commander Qi of the imperial guards of the capital rebelled with more than a dozen civil and military officials and took control of the entire capital and the palace.

In other words, Lin Qishan and Dongfang Chen rebelled because they knew their family members would be fine, or because they were afraid that Dongfang Xu would kill their family members?

Compared with the former reason, Dongfang Chen hoped that it was the second reason, so that he would feel better.

"Your Majesty, the current plan is to return to the capital as soon as possible to put down the rebellion. The capital must not be lost." A counselor said anxiously.
