Chapter 247 The Little Devil's Stubbornness

The night is as dark as ink!

Outside the palace gate, it was as bright as day.

The little ghost sat in a sedan chair, carried by two guards in black. On the left and right of the sedan stood Lord Liu and the commander of the north city gate, followed by many soldiers.

"It is said that the National Protection Army values ​​loyalty and righteousness, but today, Liu sees that it is just that. Madam Wei is trapped in the palace and her life or death is unknown.

"The three of you are stubborn and unwilling to join us in the palace to rescue people. Now you allow people from the prince's palace to sneak into the palace to assassinate Your Majesty. The prince went to rescue you, and you are trying to stop him. What is your intention?"

Lord Liu's beard was shaking with anger.

Previously, the prince had said that the National Protection Army would work with them, but this group of crude people turned out to be as cowardly as mice. That would have been fine, but now they are trying to stop them from doing things.

I don't know why the prince insisted on dragging these people into this. It's a good thing that they are willing to cooperate. If they are unwilling, he should just kill them and be done with it.

"Words are not enough. You said Prince Rong wanted to assassinate His Majesty, but we only saw your people. Besides, what reason does Prince Rong have to assassinate His Majesty?"

The little ghost looked at Leng San who was talking, his eyes full of desire to tear him into pieces.

He had heard the late emperor talk about the importance of the National Protection Army to the Great Wei countless times. Otherwise, the late emperor would not have sacrificed his own grandchildren to plot against the Wei family in order to regain the National Protection Army.

Today he started the rebellion, and he was determined to tie the National Protection Army and him into the same camp so that he could use them in the future.

He winked at Lord Liu, who understood and said righteously, "Because Prince Rong is not of royal blood, he is a remnant of the previous dynasty in the slave camp.

If you don’t move out of the way, Liu will start to suspect that you are in cahoots with Prince Rong…”

When the little ghost heard this, his eyes lit up and he patted Lord Liu on the shoulder. Lord Liu had been in contact with him a lot recently and quickly understood what he meant.

He said loudly, "His Majesty is in danger, but you are preventing the Prince from rescuing him. It seems that you are really in cahoots with Prince Rong."

"How did Prince Rong become a remnant of the previous dynasty? Who confused the royal bloodline? Do His Majesty and the others know? Tell us clearly so that we can decide whether to go in with you."

Leng San was bewildered by what he heard, but his heart was already in turmoil.

They sent people to look for Gong Mingcheng and Du Xueyi, but neither of them showed up, and their people didn't come back either.

Gong Mingcheng is the eldest son-in-law of the Wei family, and Du Xueyi is a former general of the National Protection Army. When they learned that the old lady was in trouble, they should have stepped forward immediately. Could it be that there was really something wrong with Prince Rong?

The three generals looked at each other and felt a little uneasy.

Little did they know that the little devils had surrounded the houses of the princes and officials in the name of protection, saying that Prince Rong was trying to rebel and told them not to go out.

The Gong family and Du Xueyi both knew the truth. In order to avoid fighting and the loss of innocent guards' lives, both families pretended to be ignorant and cooperated.

The people sent by Su Tong and Huang Kang were also trapped in their mansion and could not leave.

Lord Liu could not answer Leng San's question. How did he know who switched the babies? He learned about Prince Rong's life story from Prince Jing.

But the other party was now hoarse and had a violent and impatient temper, so he was not willing to explain in detail to him.

He could only say, "Prince Jing will announce the details to the world in due time. In short, Prince Rong is not of royal blood, and that is why he has the intention of rebellion. If you want to prove that you are not in cahoots with Prince Rong, then follow us into the palace to rescue him."

"But if that's the case, why don't you send someone to Prince Rong's Mansion...?"

Before Su Tong could finish his words, he heard a guard running over in a panic, "Oh no! Someone from Prince Rong's Mansion has entered the palace to assassinate the emperor."

His arm was injured, and he covered it with his other hand, blood dripping all the way. Lord Liu pretended to ask, "Is the emperor okay? What's the situation inside?"

The imperial guard replied, "Your Majesty is imprisoned. Prince Rong colluded with the palace guards and let many private soldiers in. Dong Zang of Prince Rong's mansion also brought in many martial arts masters.

The Imperial Guards were defeated, and the Commander ordered me to leave the palace to provide assistance. I hope all the others will quickly enter the palace to rescue the Emperor."

As soon as he finished speaking, deafening shouts of killing were heard in the palace.

Leng San and Su Tong exchanged a glance, then looked at Huang Kang together. Leng San put his arm around his neck and said, "Brother, the general once said that in this world, there are things we should do and things we shouldn't do. I feel like now is the time to do it.

Regardless of who is behind this conspiracy, the sounds of fighting in the palace are real, and Your Majesty is very likely in danger.

Su Tong and I will take a hundred brothers in. You quickly gather the other national defense troops and wait outside the palace gate.

If you don't hear from us in half an hour, you will lead your troops into the palace to rescue the emperor."

Huang Kang looked surprised.

It is a fact that there was unrest in the palace, but whether it was Prince Jing who rebelled in the name of Prince Rong, or the emperor who planned all this, or Prince Rong who was really plotting a rebellion, is unknown.

Although the National Protection Army cannot sit idly by, going in at this time will do more harm than good.

If it was really Prince Jing or Prince Rong who was plotting a rebellion, the hundred or so soldiers guarding the palace gate would not only struggle to save the emperor but also risk their lives, and they would most likely be labeled as traitors.

If you don't go in, you will be disregarding the safety of His Majesty, and there will be no good end either.

He never expected that Leng San and Su Tong would take the risk and save him. This was their protection for him and their trust in him.

Seeing that he was still stunned, Su Tong quickly said, "Over the years, the National Protection Army has been divided into three parts, but it has always been a root system, and its mission is only to protect the country.

If we don't return today, you must stick to your original intention and don't bring disgrace upon the reputation of the National Protection Army. Otherwise, I will not let you go, even if I become a ghost in heaven or hell."

Without waiting for Huang Kang to say anything, he pushed him away with all his might and said in a rather arrogant tone, "Lao Leng and I will follow the prince to rescue him. Go gather the rest of the National Defense Army and come to our aid."

He pushed with all his might, and Huang Kang was pushed far away. Before he could even stand firmly, he ran outside, saying, "I'll go get some people right away."

When they came to Beijing, each of them brought two thousand national defense soldiers with them. When they entered the city, each of them only brought a few dozen people, and the rest stayed outside the city.

When Xiao Gui saw Huang Kang running away, he didn't send anyone to chase him. In comparison, the two veterans Leng San and Su Tong were better representatives of the National Protection Army.

As long as they followed him into the palace, even if they did not plot rebellion, they would eventually end up plotting rebellion.

Unfortunately, he misjudged it in the end.

When Leng San and his party entered the palace and discovered that the so-called private soldiers of Prince Rong were following the orders of Prince Jing, they knew that it was Prince Jing who really wanted to rebel.

The little ghost signaled Lord Liu to shout, "Prince Rong is not of royal blood and has disloyal intentions towards Your Majesty. The National Protection Army is loyal to the country and has come with Prince Jing to rescue you."

He shouted loudly, intending to tie the National Protection Army to them. The rebels got the signal and rushed into the inner palace, shouting, "Brothers, we have the National Protection Army to help us, let's charge together."

"I'm fucking bullshit." After hearing these words, Su Tong was so angry that he drew his sword and slashed at Lord Liu.

Leng San was startled by his action, but he didn't take any action. His brother was usually timid, but this time he was even braver than him.

Seeing that he was still stunned, Su Tong roared, "What are you doing standing there, waiting for these bastards to blame us for our misfortune?"

The little ghost was stunned.

Are these people normal people? Do they have brains?

The person on duty in the palace today is the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, one of the officials he has a handle on. When these reckless men of the National Protection Army saw that the Imperial Guards surrendered without a fight, couldn't they guess that the Imperial Guards had surrendered to him?

As long as they cross the last two palace gates, kill the emperor, and then put the blame on Shi Yu, they will succeed.

Don’t these reckless men understand, or do they not care about the merits of following the emperor?

The kid quickly rejected the second possibility. How could there be someone who didn't covet fame and fortune? This group of idiots must have been unable to figure it out, so he quickly wrote something on Lord Liu's palm.

After reading it, Lord Liu shouted to Leng San and the others, "You now have only two choices: follow the prince to rescue the emperor and rise to prominence, or join the prince of Rong in rebellion and die without a burial place.

But I'm kindly informing you that the Duke has already sent troops to Prince Rong's mansion. I believe Prince Rong has been captured by now. If you insist on aiding and abetting the evil, don't blame us for being rude."
