"Your Highness! Something bad has happened! There's a rebellion in the military camp in the city!" The guard stumbled in and shouted before even stepping into the main hall.
Yuan Saburo's face was gloomy. He almost ran forward and grabbed the guard by the collar. "What did you say? Say it again!"
The guard swallowed hard, and under his cold, almost murderous gaze, he said tremblingly, "The Dongshan Camp has rebelled..."
Without waiting for the words to finish.
Yuan Saburo kicked the man away and roared, "Where is the garrison? They have so much equipment, but they can't even resist a mere Dongshan Battalion? What a bunch of rubbish!"
"Light the signal smoke quickly to notify the surrounding garrisons to come to the rescue!"
Yuan Sanlang was extremely anxious and kept comforting himself in his heart that there were 3,000 guards in the palace and they would not be able to get in for a while.
Outside are the Zhongshan granary garrison, the southern garrison, and two vanguard battalions clearing monsters outside.
Those troops will surely come to rescue you after seeing the smoke signals...
"Yes!" A guard was very nervous and went down to make arrangements immediately after receiving the order.
There are four beacon towers in the palace, located in the east, south, west and north directions.
The guards dispersed and ran towards the beacon tower with torches in hand.
The beacon tower on the south side was very close to the palace gate. The guards arrived quickly, climbed up the beacon tower and threw torches in.
The smoke from wolf dung rises straight up, and is used as a beacon.
The night is dark.
In the rush, no one noticed the small black ball buried inside.
As soon as the torch was thrown in, smoke rose.
Boom—bang!
An explosion sounded.
The flames shot up for more than ten meters, and the guards on the high platform were blown to pieces. The beacon tower collapsed with the explosion, and screams were heard all around. The flesh and blood thrown in the sky fell down, and the scene was bloody.
The same situation applies to the other three beacon towers.
Hear voices from all directions.
Wei Xiyin clapped her hands, walked out of the side hall, and said in a calm tone: "Let's go, it's time, let's go find Yuan Sanlang."
There are also some things to pay attention to when burying explosives. We must avoid causing too much damage and starting fires. After all, after taking Zhongshan, maintenance will require manpower.
Two battalions will die, or three?
If the remaining troops were left behind to build the palace, how could she have the nerve to ask for more people?
Upon hearing this, the princess pursed her lips and took out the dagger she had prepared long ago. She wanted to kill her enemy with her own hands and avenge her dead mother and brother.
The group appeared openly and walked towards the main hall where Yuan Saburo was.
The palace was in chaos. The palace servants were terrified and fled in panic. Frightened figures could be seen everywhere.
Wei Xiyin walked along, not bothering to pay attention.
There were explosions coming from the direction of the palace gate. It seemed that Mr. Qu and his men had already entered the city.
It's really a changing world.
Yuan Sanlang probably never thought that he would end up like this. The retribution came so quickly.
He relaxed his vigilance because of the princess's female identity, but he didn't know that the world had changed a long time ago. It didn't matter whether she was a man or a woman. As long as Zhongshan could be revitalized, the generals and people loyal to this land would not care about gender.
He lost from the start.
The group walked very slowly.
In Wei Xiyin's words, "Why are we walking so fast? We have to wait for the people outside the palace to come in and join us. We are going to watch Yuan Sanlang's reincarnation ceremony, not rushing to reincarnate ourselves..."
Everyone: “…” The girl is absolutely right!
The army outside had already blown open the palace gate and rushed into the palace. Everyone had a clear goal and all rushed towards the main hall.
Yuan Wu was worried about the princess's safety, so as soon as he entered the palace, he immediately took 400 subordinates to Pingyao Palace.
As former guards, no one knew the palace better than them, including all the shortcuts, patrol points, and secret paths, all of which were deeply etched in their minds, allowing them to walk freely even in the dark.
Otherwise, they would not have been able to successfully escape from the palace despite being surrounded by multiple forces.
Looking at their backs as they left in a hurry.
Cookie kindly reminded, "The princess must be with the girl. The girl must have heard the noise at the palace gate and must be waiting for us in front. It would be useless for you to go there."
Yuan Wu stopped in his tracks, suddenly remembering the painful experience of searching for people in Qinghe County in vain.
He thought for a moment and decisively returned with his men.
"Mr. Qu is right. Thank you for the reminder."
Chu Yu walked slowly at the back and said calmly, "Leave the rest to the camps in Zhongshan. There's no need to get involved."
It is a foregone conclusion.
It doesn't make sense that the Wei family army needs to charge into battle at this time.
Cookie nodded slightly, "Mr. Chu is absolutely right. Let's just watch the show from the side after we find the girl."
He began to ramble again, "We see monsters every day, but rebellion isn't so easy to witness. We have to join in the fun and witness the first queen of Zhongshan ascend the throne. We can be considered witnesses of history..."
Think of homemade explosives.
Cookie thought that if there were any records by historians, he would also be a significant figure in the history books.
The Dongshan Camp and the two vanguard camps, which were in the front, advanced along the central axis and soon saw the girl and princess waiting there. There were several bodies of guards lying on the ground, which they probably bumped into accidentally when they came over.
Seeing that they were all unharmed, everyone finally felt relieved.
Xing Shi and General Chen hurried forward to salute.
Wei Xiyin and Chu Yu had the same idea that they should not interfere next, so she just nodded slightly without saying anything.
The princess remained calm and composed. The firelight illuminated her face, revealing no trace of weakness. Her gaze was filled with determination. "Generals, there's no need for formalities. Yuan Saburo is still in the palace. The sooner rather than later, the more we need to apprehend this man who murdered his mother and brother and caused the cholera in Zhongshan!"
"yes!"
Wei Li watched her give orders silently, clenched his hanging hands into fists, and then slowly lowered them.
Wei Xiyin kicked him and whispered in his ear, "Do you feel you're not worthy enough?"
Wei Li took a deep breath and didn't want to talk to her.
How could Fifth Cousin have the mood to tease him at such an important time!
I only heard my cousin say softly, "Although I don't approve of falling in love, you are my cousin after all. The difference between you two isn't just about status. Cousin, you should think clearly. The princess will lead Zhongshan in the future. She can't be trapped in the harem, trapped by the love between men and women..."
It seems that only my cousin married into the family.
My third uncle is such a stubborn and conservative person, I wonder if he would agree...
The legitimate son of the Qinghe Wei family married into the Zhongshan clan, and his target was the new King of Zhongshan.
It’s magical just thinking about it.
Wei Xiyin didn't think it was a big deal.
The princess agreed to stay in the fort for five years, but she would definitely return to Zhongshan to take charge of the situation after five years, and she might even travel frequently between Zhongshan and the fort during this period.
If her cousin turns out to be a scumbag and refuses to agree, she won't be able to resist beating him up.
It would be better to let him make up his mind first.
Wei Li's eyes followed the moving figure, and after a while he whispered, "Don't worry, cousin. I understood from the beginning. How could I stop her from growing up?"
"She should be like her cousin, an eagle soaring in the sky."
Wei Li's eyes suddenly became extremely firm, "As a son of the Wei family, I am not bad either!"
