General Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him after hearing this. The entire Dongshan Camp had rebelled, but Ye Yingzhe, the commander, was still stupid and hadn't figured it out yet.
He changed his previous attitude and exuded a murderous aura.
General Chen swept his gaze over the surrounding soldiers of the Xishan Camp and shouted, "Since Yuan Sanlang ascended the throne, he has disregarded the people of Zhongshan and ignored the purgatory on earth. He is cowardly and incompetent, and has done nothing. How can a man who murdered his mother and brother be worthy of being our king?"
"The princess is of orthodox birth, a direct descendant of Zhongshan, and the princess of Zhongshan. We support the princess's succession to the throne in accordance with heaven's will and to avenge the deceased princess and envoy!"
"You are all citizens of Zhongshan State. If you put down your weapons, the princess will forgive you..."
"If not, kill without mercy!"
The soldiers had confused expressions on their faces. They felt at a loss as to who to listen to. They looked at each other and finally all set their eyes on the captured leader.
The commander of the Xishan Battalion was lying face down on the ground, completely unaware of the soldiers' gazes.
Being watched by so many people, he began to feel a little embarrassed and never raised his head. Later, when he heard General Chen's words, he was still in shock that the princess, a woman, would succeed to the throne.
You should know that there has never been a precedent of a woman becoming king in all dynasties.
His first reaction was, are these people crazy?
He actually wanted to kill Yuan Sanlang and support a woman to take the throne.
Not to mention the soldiers, even he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Because they didn't know how far they had gone. If they surrendered now and the rebellion failed, the soldiers of the East and West Camps, including the Vanguard Camp, might still have a chance to survive, but these generals would surely die.
Seeing no one around to respond, General Chen turned to the two commanders and said, "I'm sure you've heard the noise coming from the south of the city. The garrison has been completely destroyed."
The two commanders were shocked. The garrison army was the most well-equipped army in Zhongshan and was known as the strongest army.
There are a total of 5,000 people...
How long has it been since I heard the noise?
Thinking of the deaths of Commander Jiang and Lieutenant General Zhong, he couldn't help but gasp and finally reacted.
I'm afraid these people have already started planning since the princess returned.
Maybe, even earlier?
Ye Yingzhe felt his head buzzing. Too much information was pouring in, making it impossible for him to think.
While the two commanders were distracted, some soldiers had already thrown away their weapons, and the iron weapons fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
With the first one, there will be the second one...
The clanging sounds of weapons hitting the ground continued one after another, like a sad melody played in the dark night.
Ye Yingzhe saw the soldiers in his camp, holding weapons, marching towards the palace, led by Zhang Jian, the deputy general of the left vanguard camp.
Ye Yingzhe: “…” He didn’t even know when he became a lone wolf!
The fire in the south dyed half the sky.
In the silent night, the sounds of explosions, shouts, and the roars of zombies caused by explosives mixed together and spread far and wide.
The noise was too loud.
The noise caused by the small black ball even alarmed the zombies outside the border. Many zombies heard the news and began to rush towards the source, but were stopped by barricades in front of the boundary marker.
The terrifying monsters huddled together, roaring "ho ho" in their mouths, trying to pass through the barricades and enter Zhongren County.
Naturally, everyone in the palace heard it as well.
Yuan Saburo was upset because of the rebellion. He stared at the food on the table with a gloomy face and had no appetite at all.
The sudden sound was so clear that it scared him so much that his heart beat faster. His hand trembled and the chopsticks fell to the ground.
"What happened? Did the earth dragon turn over?"
The guards standing guard outside the palace also looked bewildered. "Your Highness, I don't know either. The noise seems to be coming from the south. Should we send someone to investigate?"
south?
Yuan Saburo's expression changed slightly when he heard this. To the south is the only remaining horse farm in Zhongshan, and nothing can happen!
He was about to speak.
His wet nurse, Aunt Sun, came running over in a hurry, her face filled with anxiety. "Your Highness, the princess and the Wei brothers and sisters are missing!"
"What do you mean?" Yuan Sanlang paused when he heard that, turned his head to look at her with his eyes slightly narrowed, and a hint of coldness emanated from his body.
Old Lady Sun knew his temper very well. She shuddered before continuing, "This old servant saw that it was almost dinner time, so he went to deliver food to the princess. As he approached, he found Pingyao Palace quiet and serene. The doors of the houses were tightly closed, and there was no one in sight..."
"I mustered up the courage to shout a few more times, but no one responded in the hall." Realizing that something was wrong, Old Lady Sun didn't dare to go in at all. She wanted to ask the guards to go in and take a look, but the nearby guard camp had been transferred away.
The more she thought about it, the more strange it seemed. The princess, the people around her, and Mr. and Mrs. Wei, it was impossible for so many people to disappear for no reason. Thinking of this, she immediately hurried to the main hall to report.
A trace of anger appeared on Yuan Sanlang's face, and he concluded, "Yuan Yuwan must have run away with the Wei brothers and sisters."
"What a bunch of idiots! You're running off with this burden, leaving all the food behind?" He immediately stood up and ordered, "They can't have gone far. Search! We must find them!"
His idea was very simple. He believed that Yuan Yuwan regretted it in her heart after returning to Zhongshan and finding that her mother and brother were dead, leaving her helpless and confined to the palace.
So she privately persuaded the Wei brothers and sisters to leave.
But because of the rebellion, the palace is now heavily guarded, with heavy soldiers guarding almost every palace gate. Only the harem is poorly defended.
The person must still be in the harem!
"How foolish! Why didn't you run away earlier or later, but when the palace is under martial law? Where can you run to?"
Yuan Sanlang sneered, "This is a good opportunity to launch an attack, and save the 20,000 dan of grain sent to the Wei family fort."
The guard battalion received the order.
Hundreds of people holding torches rushed into the harem and began searching all the palaces.
The first place to search is naturally Pingyao Palace.
A team of guards arrived at the gate of Pingyao Palace and saw that the gate was open. Standing at the door, they could see the whole view at a glance.
Just as Aunt Sun said, no matter whether it was the main hall where the princess lived or the side hall where the Wei brothers and sisters were staying as guests, all the rooms were closed tightly, no one could be seen, and it was so quiet inside that it didn't look like anyone was there.
"Is the princess here?!" the leading centurion shouted loudly.
The voice lingered for a moment and then disappeared into thin air. Naturally, no one answered.
The centurion made a gesture, and the soldiers entered Pingyao Palace, headed straight for the main hall, and pushed open the door.
The soldier looked surprised and puzzled, and the scene in the hall further confirmed that Sun Ai's guess was correct.
There were palace maids lying in disorder on the ground, their hands tied behind their backs, unable to move, and their mouths blocked with a piece of cloth, unable to make any sound.
When the palace servants saw the soldiers coming in, there was no joy on their faces. Instead, they stared at them in horror and kept shaking their heads.
