Xiao Yanli shook his head slightly: "Stubborn."
He didn't want to argue any more, so he just moved his fingers slightly, signaling his men to increase their attack.
The guards in the palace are different from the people in the martial arts world. Although their fighting skills are not much different, when it comes to vicious methods, the people in the martial arts world are still better.
So after several rounds, Xiao Lingyu's side was already on the verge of defeat.
The ministers were all worried.
Xiao Yanli had already sat safely on the dragon throne, looking at everything below with a smile on his face.
There was a hint of madness in his eyes, but no one noticed.
Uncle Zhang also looked at everyone with fiery eyes.
Xiao Lingyu struggled to dodge the attackers and said with difficulty, "Are you really going to do this? Even if you seize the throne, how will you be recorded in history books? It's not too late to stop now!"
As if not expecting him to be so naive, Xiao Yanli looked at him with almost pity: "Since ancient times, the victors are kings and the losers are bandits. I don't need to explain it in detail. The history books are just a matter of one sentence."
Xiao Lingyu clenched his back teeth.
…
After finally arriving back in Shengjing, Jiang Zhiyu had barely caught her breath when she saw Xing Maozhi anxiously looking out from the city gate.
Worried that they might return to the city, Xiao Yanli had specifically ordered the city gate to be guarded.
But Su Bai is here now.
Xiao Yanli's refusal to let him show up made things even more convenient for Su Bai. When he received the news that Xiao Yanli had entered the palace, Su Bai personally led people to clear out all of Xiao Yanli's people at the city gate, and also brought out Xing Maozhi, who was recuperating in the mansion.
"What's the situation?" Jiang Wenjing asked calmly.
"The Sixth Prince has brought people into the palace and hasn't come out yet. His men have surrounded the residences of all the gentlemen. The Crown Prince has also entered the palace. Although he brought people with him, I don't think he is a match for the Sixth Prince."
Jiang Wenjing didn't hesitate at all: "Zhiyu and I will lead people into the palace, Mingye, you..."
"I'll go deal with Wei Mansion." Xiao Mingye naturally responded.
The troops were divided into two groups.
The road to the palace was filled with Xiao Yanli's men, and the sound of fighting was heard all the way.
Naturally, this kind of noise also reached Xiao Yanli's ears.
At this time, Xiao Lingyu had been suppressed.
Uncle Zhang heard the noise and his eyes suddenly became panicked: "It seems that the Jiang brothers and sisters are back!"
Xiao Yanli's lips were straightened, but there was no trace of surprise on his face: "I'm back, so I'm back."
Influenced by him, Uncle Zhang also calmed down slightly: "Yes, they are back. Now everything is a foregone conclusion. Even if they come back, it won't change anything."
Xiao Yanli gave Uncle Zhang an ambiguous look.
Not long after, Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu appeared in the hall. Both of their clothes were stained with blood, which looked particularly horrifying.
"General Jiang and Censor Jiang are back!"
"Hurry up and ask Censor Jiang to check on His Majesty's illness!"
"What are you talking about? Have you forgotten about accusing Jiang Wenjing of treason? That's irrefutable evidence, His Majesty has seen it!"
The person who spoke was Shang Yu.
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.
That’s true.
Shang Yu raised his eyebrows towards Xiao Yanli subtly.
Jiang Zhaorong in the crowd couldn't help but look at him.
"Traitor, you dare to come back?" Xiao Yanli might have held back against others, but he absolutely wouldn't do that to the two people before him: "Attack."
The man in black approached with a knife.
There was no trace of panic on Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu's faces.
Jiang Zhiyu: "Who are you calling a traitor?"
"You are a traitor." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xiao Yanli's face turned dark.
Jiang Zhiyu smiled with her eyes curved.
Xiao Yanli also laughed, but he was just angry.
"I can only vent my anger!"
"That's not necessarily true. I think it's best to put the charge of treason on yourself."
Jiang Zhiyu clapped his hands, and several people came forward with an old man - it was the Great Elder Nan Gu.
Xiao Yanli's pupils shrank.
"During the Nan Gu period, we have discovered that the Nan Gu Great Elder has been in close correspondence with you, and this behavior has been going on for several years. Sixth Prince, what is your explanation?"
"Also, the man that the Sixth Prince brought that day, who accused my brother of treason, was a Mobei spy and the second son of the Heshuo King!"
"How can you believe what a person like that says?"
Everyone in the room was shocked.
Even Jiang Wenjing widened his eyes slightly.
He had never heard Zhiyu say these things along the way.
"It's involved with both Nan Gu and Mo Bei. Will your Highness Sixth Prince explain?"
"Explain? What do I need to explain?" Xiao Yanli suddenly changed his tone, stood up from the dragon throne, and looked at the ministers beside him: "Everyone, think carefully, your families are in my hands!"
The court officials' expressions all changed.
Shang Yu was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you loyally."
As soon as he moved, Jiang Zhaorong followed.
Immediately afterwards, several more people spoke up.
However, compared to Shang Yu and Jiang Zhaorong, their tone seemed very forced.
Xiao Yanli looked at Jiang Zhiyu, his dark eyes suddenly darkened, and he tightened the corners of his mouth.
There was still no panic on Jiang Zhiyu's face, as if everything was under her control. Xiao Yanli's heart skipped a few beats.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard. Xiao Yanli's mouth curled up, but when he saw who was coming, his smile froze on his face.
How could it be him? !
Xiao Yanli and Uncle Zhang looked as if they had seen a ghost, but Xiao Mingye strode into the hall and said, "I have cleared out the people surrounding your residences. You don't have to worry."
The ministers' frowns suddenly relaxed, but Xiao Yanli's facial features were indeed tightly wrinkled.
Xiao Mingye quickly knocked down the man holding Xiao Lingyu, and helped him up. He continued, "I've already captured all your men. Now you're isolated and helpless, why don't you surrender?"
Behind him, Ji Tong was forced in with his hands tied behind his back.
He looked at Jiang Wenjing, but Jiang Wenjing didn't look at him.
Xiao Yanli had a blank expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Uncle Zhang's eyes were full of disbelief.
He couldn't understand why it was such a sure win, so why did it turn out so unexpectedly?!
He looked at Xiao Yanli for help.
Xiao Yanli's expression remained calm. "Sure enough, my intuition was right. Every single thing was clearly a trap set by you to force me to rebel. Judging from this, my father, the current emperor, is probably not ill at all."
"How can you call it a bitch?" Jiang Zhiyu licked her lips. They hadn't touched a drop of water all the way, so her lips were a little dry. "If you don't have this idea in your heart, all the games are useless."
Xiao Yanli remained silent and said loudly, "Since Father is in good health, why don't you go out for a walk and reassure everyone?"
The next moment, the emperor came out from behind.
Following behind him were Xu Yanli and Jiang Kangan.
The emperor's eyes were calm. After a moment, he whispered, "You have a wolfish ambition."
