Chapter 1103 The Wusun Coup

As the Right Chancellor and the new army moved, the Wusun capital city under the cover of night became unusually noisy.

"To punish the tyrannical and disloyal ruler, all unauthorized persons are forbidden from traveling at will!!"

Squads of soldiers, armed with weapons and shouting slogans, converged on the palace.

Many of the people who were awakened were actually delighted rather than alarmed by the commotion outside.

They all got up, opened the doors, and looked out with joy on their faces.

Because of the previous taxation, the people in the Wusun capital were impoverished, and countless people starved to death during this period.

Those who remained were also on the verge of starvation. Everyone hated the Wusun king who issued the tax order, wishing they could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.

Now, the people of the capital city only hope that these soldiers can cut off the head of the Wusun king to vent their hatred.

Inside a noble mansion in the east of the city, A-Yue sat upright in the study, holding Li Ru's letter in her hands, engrossed in reading it.

Thinking of Li Ru, who had already led his troops to garrison the east of the city, A Yue couldn't help but smile happily, and unconsciously began to imagine the scene after the two of them met.

"Knock knock knock~!"

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted A-Yue's thoughts.

After putting the letter away, A-Yue looked calmly outside and said, "Come in!"

Upon hearing A-Yue's instructions, a burly man in blue pushed open the door and entered.

"Madam, the Right Chancellor has already begun his operation, and the Han messenger has also died."

I also instructed the gatekeeper that once the Right Chancellor's coup d'état is over, we can use the charge of poisoning the Han envoy to execute the Right Chancellor!

"Alright, send a few men to guard the body of that burly messenger. Once it's done, hand him over to the master. Also, instruct the others to act immediately. Not a single noble or official should be left alive in Wusun City..."

"Yes, Madam!"

Upon hearing A-Yue's instructions, the burly man in blue agreed and then bowed and left.

Meanwhile, just as the Right Chancellor led a group of guards to the palace, the newly recruited soldiers, led by the city gate officers, also surrounded the palace.

The Right Chancellor arrived at the palace gates, a glint of ambition flashing in his eyes as he looked at the tightly closed gates.

The Right Chancellor of Wusun waved his hand: "Break down the gate! The concubines, palace maids, and valuables inside are all yours to enjoy!"

"yes!!"

The guards exclaimed excitedly in unison.

Although there were no dedicated battering rams, these guards were well prepared.

More than twenty strong men, together carrying a thick wooden stake, arrived at a spot not far from the palace gate.

Although it was called a royal palace, the Wusun's national strength was ultimately limited. The palace walls were even inferior to those of the powerful clans within the Han Dynasty, not to mention the palace gates.

Then, the twenty-odd burly men responsible for ramming the gate roared in unison, then suddenly accelerated, grabbing the wooden stakes and crashing straight into the palace gate.

Boom!!

A loud crash was heard, and the palace gate was deformed, but it did not break open.

The burly men retreated in unison, then suddenly accelerated again, slamming the wooden stakes hard against the palace gate.

With a loud bang, the palace gate shook, and the deformation became even more severe.

"Again!!"

Upon seeing this, the Right Chancellor roared and ordered his men to charge at the palace gate once more.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After being rammed three times, the palace gate finally collapsed inward.

Instantly, dust and smoke rose everywhere.

The Right Chancellor frowned, fanned his nose a few times with his hand, and then gestured to the soldiers behind him: "Charge in!!"

"Charge!!"

The guards of the Right Chancellor's residence rushed in first, followed closely by the city garrison officer and a group of soldiers.

The Right Chancellor of Wusun followed the crowd excitedly as they went inside.

At this moment, the commotion at the palace gate had reached inside the palace, and a thousand royal guards arrived just in time.

"Don't attack, they're on our side!!"

Upon seeing the densely packed soldiers rushing into the palace, the commander of the guards hurriedly stopped and shouted at the soldiers.

"Put down your weapons, or you will be killed on sight!!"

As the soldiers who rushed into the palace roared, they immediately rushed over and surrounded them.

A loud clang rang out, and the palace guards immediately dropped their weapons on the ground.

"Brothers, what are you doing? This is the royal palace! Are you trying to commit treason?"

Looking at the soldiers around him, the guard commander couldn't help but ask.

Just then, the Right Chancellor of Wusun walked over from behind, carrying the proclamation.

After glancing at the commander of the guards, the Right Chancellor of Wusun picked up the proclamation and proclaimed loudly: "The King of Wusun has harmed the people and intercepted and killed the messengers of the Great Han. Now, a messenger of the Great Han has issued a proclamation to punish this traitor. Are you all willing to follow me to punish this disloyal man...!"

"Your Excellency, the Right Chancellor, you...?"

Upon hearing this, the commander of the guards' expression changed, and he looked at the Right Chancellor with disbelief.

He knew better than anyone that whether it was collecting taxes or intercepting Han envoys, it was all the Right Chancellor's idea.

Now this Right Chancellor has shamelessly pinned all the blame on the King of Wusun, and even made the rebellion sound so righteous and righteous.

How shameless must someone be to do something like this...?

"Hmph, those who refuse to surrender shall die!"

Just as the guard commander was in astonishment, the Right Chancellor of Wusun snorted coldly and then made a gesture to a subordinate holding a bow and arrow beside him.

The subordinate understood and immediately drew his bow and aimed an arrow at the guard commander.

"Traitor...you..."

The guard commander's expression changed, and before he could finish speaking, a sharp arrow shot towards him. Then he felt a sharp pain in his neck and fell straight backward.

Upon seeing this, the guards behind him took two steps back in alarm.

The Right Chancellor of Wusun stepped forward and said coldly, "Do you wish to die or surrender?"

"We are willing to surrender! We are willing to surrender...!"

The remaining soldiers quickly surrendered.

The Right Chancellor of Wusun smiled with satisfaction, "Very well, take up your weapons and join me in eliminating the tyrant!!"

"yes!!"

The guards responded, picked up their weapons, and led the charge into the inner palace.

Soon, led by the guards, the King of Wusun, who was hiding in a side hall, was captured and his face was revealed to be that of the Right Chancellor of Wusun.

"Right Chancellor, I have treated you well, why do you rebel?"

"Your Majesty has treated me well, but unfortunately, you have brought this upon yourself and cannot escape. There is nothing I can do about it..."

The Right Chancellor sneered and, before the King of Wusun could say anything more, beckoned to his men.

Instantly, several sharp arrows shot out, hitting several vital points on the King of Wusun. The King of Wusun only had time to cry out in pain before he fell straight down.
