Chapter 182 Breaking into the Palace
"Brother Cen Shi, thank you!" Jiang Rong was very surprised to see him.
Cen Tingbai held a spear, looking heroic, "Thank you Lingxi for saving my life last time, no need to thank me."
Li Jiaben was half-crippled after being beaten. When he saw Prince Duan withdrawing his troops, Duke Dingguo knew that something big was going to happen, so he quickly took the remaining men and chased after him.
Chen Guangzong and other members of the Ceremonial Guard who were training in the other courtyard also rushed over after receiving the news.
There were flashes of swords and fierce fighting.
In this battle, Xie Lingxi was undoubtedly the most dazzling god of war. He was like a sharp sword, and wherever the sword pointed, there were casualties.
Jiang Rong is also very eye-catching.
She hid in the back, but wherever the long arrow pointed, it would definitely kill an enemy who attacked Xie Lingxi.
The two of them, one close and one far away, cooperated very well.
"Why are you back?" Xie Pingbei looked at Xie Ruojiao and others who had rushed back.
After their wounds were bandaged.
They all came rushing over.
“Dad!” Xie Ruojiao burst into tears when she saw Xie Pingbei, whose body was covered with arrows. “Why are you piercing me like a hedgehog…”
Xiao Nanxing, who was originally helping the prince walk inside with a serious face, wanted to laugh when he heard this.
The prince is really miserable, but your description, Second Miss, is so appropriate.
Song Heng, Tao Han, Qiu Niang and others hurriedly helped carry the injured soldiers to the yard for bandages...
Everyone has their own duties.
Those who don't know martial arts go to the rear to help carry the wounded and apply medicine.
The chief shopkeeper brought his men to join the battle!
Chu Jue immediately found his father, "Xie Lingxi is back, Dad, I just heard an important news. In the battle of Northern Frontier nineteen years ago, was it the emperor…"
"Talk less and wait and see the situation." Chu Shouchen interrupted.
"Ah? Wait and watch? Aren't you going up to help?" Chu Jue asked doubtfully.
Chu Shouchen was helpless, "My father was ordered to surround and kill Xie Lingxi. Fishing in troubled waters is already the best way to help them."
He asked people to fight in a fake manner, but he did not really fight with the Xie family.
Acting throughout.
But it is impossible to directly help the Xie family deal with the court. Otherwise, it would be a crime of rebellion against the imperial order.
"But... I want to go..." Chu Jue said with a bitter face.
Chu Shouchen did not stop him, "Then go. Disguise yourself so that he won't be recognized as my son."
"Great!" Chu Jue put on a big beard and rushed into the scene again.
The Beijing camp continuously dispatched new reinforcements.
But with the two great war gods Xie Lingxi and Cen Tingbai commanding the battle, they were able to defeat the larger force with a smaller one.
The Crown Prince and Prince Duan were at a disadvantage.
The two men looked at each other, and at the same time fled towards the palace while fighting.
…
Xie Lingxi fought his way into the palace.
The emperor thought he could wait for good news, but he didn't expect Xie Lingxi to kill him.
The last group of Yulin Guards that guarded the imperial palace were also dispersed.
Too fast.
If we can delay for another half a day, the garrison troops near the capital will arrive!
The emperor was anxious and angry, "You... are a bunch of rubbish!"
The Crown Prince and Prince Duan were both very frightened and dared not reply.
There are two gods of war on the opposite side.
The combat capability of the generals of the Beijing camp is still ten times lower than that of the British kings. How can they win?
"Chu Shouchen, you actually betrayed me..." The emperor looked at Chu Shouchen coldly.
Mingxinsi was his personal guard. But even though Xie Lingxi had already entered the palace, Mingxinsi was still alive.
This means that they didn't defend it with all their might.
Chu Shouchen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is the general trend."
Prince Duan and the Crown Prince couldn't stop Xie Lingxi at all.
With the addition of the Xie family, the Li family and Cen Tingbai, the team is even more powerful.
Why did he let the captain of the Mingxin Division go to his death?
The emperor glanced at Cen Tingbai and Song Heng, feeling so frustrated that he wanted to vomit blood.
These were all the ministers he had promoted and had high hopes for, but it turned out that they were all in the enemy camp?
The most abominable thing is...
The emperor's gaze finally fell on Xie Lingxi's face:
"I thought you were a playboy, and I looked down on you."
Xie Lingxi looked at him coldly, "Nineteen years ago, it was you who betrayed Northern Xinjiang."
…
The Western Desert half a month ago.
Xie Lingxi intercepted the shadow assassins who were trying to rush back to the capital. They still preferred death to confess, but it was enough for Xie Lingxi and Jiang Rong to discover many things.
"These people are rushing to the capital. Something big might be happening in the capital!" Jiang Rong looked at Xie Lingxi and analyzed carefully.
The shadowy people are scattered all over the world.
Even the Shadow far away in the Western Regions received a message summoning him back to the capital.
The scale of this summons is enormous.
Most likely it is to call all shadow members.
Xie Lingxi nodded, "We will set off back to Beijing immediately."
"Your Highness, this pass is the pass issued by the Xun family for the caravan we found at the beginning! They are from the Xun family!" Xiao Nanxing presented the pass carried by the assassins.
Because they needed to pass through the customs, this group of people carried documents with them.
They didn't know that Xie Lingxi had already found out about this caravan and had been looking for them...
"It seems that it was Xun Shiquan who killed the old prince and Prince Zhaoren nineteen years ago!" Xiao Nanxing said angrily:
"He is so hateful!"
Jiang Rong looked at Xie Lingxi thoughtfully, "Nineteen years ago, the Xun family army was transferred to southern Xinjiang. Given the old prince's cautiousness in fighting, it would be difficult for outsiders to know the battle plan in the north."
"It's the emperor." Xie Lingxi's eyes were cold.
He always suspected that the emperor was the mastermind behind the incident nineteen years ago because he was the one with the vested interests.
But the source of the shadow could not be found and the fragments of evidence could not be pieced together.
Now that it is confirmed that the shadow came from the Xun family, everything can be closed.
In addition to the northern border, there is another place where we can eavesdrop on military intelligence...
Capital city.
All military intelligence and war reports from the north had to be reported to the late emperor. As a prince who often went to the palace to see the emperor, he did have the opportunity to peek at confidential reports.
He stole intelligence, and Shadow sent it back, cooperating with the Northern Desert Army to achieve internal and external cooperation.
"Moreover, the Xun family is just a subject. They are risking their lives for someone else's throne, unless the emperor has given them some promise..." Jiang Rong took over the conversation.
Empress Xun's son was born as the crown prince, and was never deposed no matter how incompetent he was.
The Xun family became the leader of the four major military families.
The emperor holds the Xun family in such high esteem, so everything fits in.
…
"You poisoned me and plotted rebellion, and you want to add another crime to me to show that you have a legitimate reason? Don't even think about it! You are traitors!" The emperor denied coldly. Of course, he couldn't admit it.
I would never admit it even if I die.
Xie Pingbei was wrapped in gauze like a zongzi. He stared at the emperor fiercely and said, "My son is not in the capital, how could he poison you? You might as well ask your two sons about this kind of good deed to eliminate harm for the people."
The Xie family never attacked the emperor.
The other court officials had even less motivation.
The emperor is dead, but it doesn't mean they will take over.
In the final analysis, it is profit that makes people take risks. The next emperor will be the biggest beneficiary.
"Cough——" The emperor was so angry that he spat out blood.
He and Xie Pingbei had known each other for many years and knew his character very well. If he had poisoned someone, he would have admitted it openly and cursed him for being damned.
It really wasn’t the Xie family who did it.
It turned out to be his son?
