Concubine's true colors

Chapter 475 Return of the Xiao Family Army

The words of this outpost soldier's reply were completely different in the ears of Xue Hou and Zhou Xianyu.

After all, although it was true that Zhou Xianyu had brought 7000 troops, the siege battle over the past few days was extremely brutal, consuming a total of [-] troops.

And Zhou Xianyu attacked the imperial city from the secret road, and took away another 3000 people, so the soldiers and horses of the Beijing army camp staying outside the city are actually only about 1.

After hearing that tens of thousands of black-armored cavalry had arrived in the capital, Empress Xue knew in her heart that Zhou Xiantai must be leading the troops back, so she suddenly opened her arms.

Although Empress Xue is a woman, Feng Yi domineeringly protects her safety from all around, and there are only less than [-] imperial guards remaining and shouted loudly:
"Everyone has heard clearly, my son Xiantai, your future emperor has already brought reinforcements back. It took seven years for the [-] black iron cavalry to be formed in secret, and it was successfully formed after being concealed from countless eyes and ears. As long as you persevere until Thailand When the prince enters the palace, the queen promises that all of you who are present will be crowned kings and generals, and enjoy inexhaustible glory and wealth."

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. These forbidden soldiers followed Xue Hou to conspire against him, and even if they surrender now, they still cannot escape death.

However, because of Zhou Xianyu's fierce reputation, none of the last few hundred imperial guards who were forced into the Jinluan Palace dared to attack and resist.

But now that Empress Xue had finished speaking these encouraging words, thinking of the innumerable glory and wealth, the imperial army immediately felt ready to move, and even clenched the weapons in their hands a little bit.

Compared with the boosted morale on Empress Xue's side, Zhou Xianyu, who had just controlled the situation in the palace, knew that they were already in a passive state.

After exchanging glances with Xiao Jinxuan, Zhou Xianyu pointed his spear directly at Empress Xue, then raised his voice and said angrily:
"Brothers, the brothers outside the city are buying us time, and Prince Rui, who is the crown prince, is staying outside the palace. My father has passed away now, and the new emperor must not have any accidents. So Listen to my orders and immediately capture Empress Xue alive, and anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy."

Both Zhou Xianyu and Xiao Jinxuan knew very well that the black armored guards with more than ten thousand people would be an extremely terrifying existence.

The opponent not only has black iron armor that is easy and difficult to break through, but also has elite weapons made of black armor that cuts iron like mud. Therefore, the 1 troops in the Beijing army camp outside cannot withstand the opponent's [-] troops at all.

Therefore, only by capturing Queen Xue and turning him into a bargaining chip can he have a chance to negotiate with Zhou Xiantai.

So Zhou Xianyu, who knew that the situation was changing rapidly and had to make a quick decision, rushed forward immediately.

And when they saw the besieged men and horses from the Beijing military camp, they would also shout and attack the Golden Luan Hall.

Immediately, I saw Bai Liu who had been by Xue Hou's side all the time. Although her face was pale from fright, she still gritted her teeth and shouted to the hundreds of forbidden soldiers around her:
"Everyone, we have no turning back. Only when my husband Zhou Xiantai ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor will you become heroes. Otherwise, you will only be reduced to rebels, and even your family members, wives and children will be imprisoned by the nine clans. Shicai's mother has already promised you the title General Wang, the Empress Dowager is the future Empress Dowager. With her promise, what are you still worrying about? For the sake of future generations, for your own power and title, you must not shrink back. If you support the Prince of Thailand, you will be able to enter the palace. "

Thinking that there was really no way out for himself and the others, and knowing that there were powerful reinforcements arriving immediately, the embarrassing Forbidden Army who had just been beaten by the Beijing Army Battalion immediately became depressed.

In an instant, he mustered up all his strength to resist and defend to the death. Immediately, the huge Golden Luan Hall was filled with the sound of fighting, and countless fresh lives fell down among the blood and flesh, and they would not stand up again.

The so-called war is actually killing, and Zhou Xianyu is used to all this.

Whenever he raises his gun to kill the imperial guards, his heart trembles with a sense of trembling excitement.

As for Zhou Xianyu's eyes, as more and more imperial soldiers fell under his gun, his clear eyes became more bloody and scarlet.

In fact, although Zhou Xianyu is good at fighting, he also hates fighting, because as long as he kills, the evil spirit of blood will be extremely active and excited.

And every time at this time, Zhou Xianyu would feel that it was difficult for him to control his reason, as if he would become a beast that only knew how to kill at any time. This feeling was extremely worrying and very resistant to him.

But no matter what, although the evil spirit of blood cannot be controlled, whenever the evil spirit is exposed, Zhou Xianyu, who is already brave, is especially incompetent.

Therefore, even if more than [-] imperial guards resisted desperately, within half a stick of incense, only [-] or so people were beheaded, guarding Empress Xue and Bai Liu in the center, struggling for the last time.

And this time Zhou Xianyu, after calming down the raging murderous aura in his heart with his internal force, he took the lead and walked towards Queen Xue with a silver gun in his hand.

This time, the remaining dozens of embarrassing imperial guards were killed when Zhou Xianyu stepped forward.

After all, they were overwhelmed by the opponent's intimidation and did not dare to have the slightest motive to resist, so they threw their weapons on the ground one after another and gave way to the road.

And when Zhou Xianyu stood in front of Queen Xue face to face with a stern expression, and then saw him staring at the other party for a long time, he said in a cold voice:

"Actually, I really want to take your head off now, and then use it to worship my father and mother. But fortunately, you have a capable son. Fifth brother is now outside the city, and I am afraid that he has been besieged by black armored cavalry .I will definitely take back your life in the future, but now I still need to use you as a bargaining chip in exchange for my Lord Zhou."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xianyu immediately clasped Queen Xue's shoulder with his left hand, and just as he was about to pull him away forcibly, suddenly a sharp arrow flew in from outside the hall at an extremely fast speed .

After the arrow feathers left a scar on the back of Zhou Xianyu's left hand, they shot more than three inches into the thick wall of the hall without stopping, and then it stopped.

As for the wound on the back of his hand, Zhou Xianyu didn't take it to heart at all, so all his attention was focused on the arrow feather that shot into the wall.

Then Zhou Xianyu frowned slightly, looking at the special arrow feathers made of peacock feathers, he couldn't help but murmured:
"It turned out to be a sparrow feather arrow. If my king remembers correctly, the only person who can use this arrow in Da Zhou is Xiao Yihan, the third son of the commander-in-chief. Even this king didn't feel that there was an arrow piercing through the air behind him." Sound, you really deserve to be my Da Zhou's sharpshooting general."

And almost as soon as Zhou Xianyu's words fell, a young man's clear laughter could be heard immediately from outside the hall:

"You are the King of War who shocked the kingdoms. Compared with you, Yi Han is nothing more than a firefly. Just then, I saw that the empress was in danger, so I had to shoot arrows to stop the prince in desperation. After all, it is said that the empress is the mother of the country, even if there is something inappropriate, His Highness's rudeness and recklessness will violate filial piety after all, let alone the actions of a courtier."

Emperor Ming hurriedly declared the military camp back to Beijing. In order not to disturb the morale of the army, although he did not mention the possible rebellion of the Xue family, he still ordered Marshal Xiao to lead the troops back to the court as quickly as possible.

As for Xiao Sanjiang, who has been fighting for many years, although he seldom returns to Beijing, his acumen as a coach is still extremely sharp.

Therefore, Xiao Sanjiang guessed that there must be changes in the capital. After receiving the imperial decree from Emperor Ming, he promptly found his eldest son Xiao Ting and his eldest grandson Xiao Yiming. Xiao Yihan, the third grandson.

Then Old Marshal Xiao ordered [-] Qingqi troops, and asked his son to lead his two grandchildren and these soldiers and horses to rush to the capital as quickly as possible.

And after sending away the [-] light cavalry, Xiao Sanjiang arranged everything in the frontier in an orderly manner.

Then he brought his fourth son Xiao Heng, who had received an order from the imperial court half a year ago, to come to him, and the other party's eldest son Xiao Wenwu, leading a troop of [-] soldiers, back to the court.

Therefore, although everyone in the capital estimated that the Xiao family army should have about two months before returning to the capital.

But no one thought that because of Xiao Sanjiang's far-sighted calculations, there were [-] Xiao family troops who rushed back to Changping several months in advance.

Compared to the shock of others, Bai Chu and Su Qi escorted Xiao Jinxuan to Zhou Xianyu's side.

Looking at the countless soldiers in black armor outside the gate of the palace, her eyes were only focused on the few people in front.

Although she basically had no contact with Shuai's mansion in the later period in the previous life, the other party even disdained to call her, a concubine, back home.

But when her grandfather Xiao Sanjiang returned to Beijing, Xiao Jinxuan was fortunate enough to be called back to the commander's mansion by the other party, and had a reunion dinner with all the Xiao family members.

And that time, Xiao Jinxuan met her uncle Xiao Ting at the dinner table.And the other's eldest son, her eldest cousin Xiao Yiming.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan quickly recognized the identities of Xiao Ting and Xiao Yiming among the few people standing in front of the black armor guard.

But immediately after, her gaze didn't stay on the father and son for too long, instead she looked at Xiao Yihan who had just spoken with a trace of tears in her eyes.

And because in her previous life, when she went back to the commander's mansion for the family dinner, Xiao Yihan, the son of Shen Chuyun, was dispatched to fight elsewhere, so he did not return to Beijing.

So until the time of her death, Xiao Jinxuan had no chance to meet this cousin.

But thinking of the second aunt Shen Chuyun who loved her so much, before she escaped from the family temple and died for her, she had told her to take good care of Xiao Yihan and complement each other.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help looking at Xiao Yihan with more cordial eyes, and raised her voice and said to the other party:

"Cousin Yi Han, I don't know if my second aunt mentioned my sister in her letters to you. Jinxuan greeted cousin Yi Han here. I'm afraid you must know the bad news of my aunt. I owe it to you." Brother, I will explain everything clearly to you in the future. But the situation is urgent now, so please forgive my sister for asking. Why does my cousin wear the uniform of Zhou Xiantai's black armored cavalry? Xiao Jiaerlang has always been a loyal warrior , Could it be that you have joined forces with the Xue clan long ago in private? If it is really so dangerous, the reputation of the Xiao family army will be ruined!"
