Before he finished speaking, everyone's faces turned sullen. One young man bent down to pick up a knife from the ground and angrily shouted at Su Yang, "Miss Xueyang! This is a matter of life and death, how can you still be in the mood to joke? In my opinion, everyone should listen to General Xu and swear to defend Prince Xun's Mansion to the death. If they dare to set foot in the palace, we will make sure they never return, even at the risk of our lives!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone picked up their weapons on the ground and looked at Su Yang with angry expressions.
Xu Chang remained silent, as if he had some concerns.
Su Yang was silent for a moment and then said, "To be honest, I really don't have any other options right now, but rather than die in vain, it's better to surrender. Prince Xun's Mansion is surrounded by the Imperial Guards, and we can't get our message out, so people outside can't rescue us. If we're put in jail, we might be able to contact the outside world through the jailers."
Having said this, Su Yang turned to look at Xu Chang and said, "Furthermore, Madam Wang will definitely find a way to enter the prison to visit everyone. General Xu, no one here knows the prince better than you. Think carefully about where the prince might go. We can ask Madam Wang to help notify the prince's former subordinates and ask them to go find the prince."
"Are you talking about Miss Xiao?" Xu Chang frowned slightly. Although Xiao Xun grew up in the palace and had a close relationship with the prince, she was also the adopted daughter of Prime Minister Jin Xizi, and now the daughter-in-law of Marshal Wang Yiyu. Both the Jin and Wang families had a feud with the prince, so Xiao Xun was afraid that she would not be willing to take the risk.
"I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, I'm just passing on a message. There won't be any danger. She is a loyal person and will not refuse to help." Su Yang said.
Everyone fell silent after listening to Su Yang's words, and the atmosphere was very heavy.
A young man was the first to break the silence: "But Your Highness... Your Highness is not..."
Although the young man did not finish his words, everyone knew very well what he was going to say. There were rumors outside that Hua Yihen was dead. The imperial guards had besieged Prince Xun's Mansion for many days but there was no trace of Hua Yihen. Everyone said that Hua Yihen was very likely dead.
"I believe in the prince, he will definitely come back. We can't let the prince see a bloody palace when he comes back. Besides, we have no other choice now... right?" Su Yang said.
After hearing this, everyone fell silent again.
After a long time, one man dropped his sword, and the weapon fell to the ground with a clanging sound. He said, "I believe it too."
Everyone was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, they really had no other choice. If they did as Xue Yang said, perhaps they still had a chance of survival.
After thinking about it, everyone couldn't help but put down their weapons. The weapons fell to the ground, and every sound they made was like a heavy blow to everyone's heart. This represented giving up, but also represented hope.
Su Yang looked at everyone's heavy expressions and felt extremely sad in his heart.
In the end, everyone present dropped their weapons, only Xu Chang was still holding his black sword, frowning, wondering what he was thinking.
Su Yang called out, "General Xu?"
No response.
Su Yang called again: "General Xu?"
Xu Chang was still frowning and thinking, as if he was lost in his own thoughts and couldn't extricate himself.
Su Yang walked up to Xu Chang, took a deep breath, leaned close to Xu Chang's ear and shouted loudly: "Xu Chang!!"
Xu Chang finally moved. He rubbed his ears, which were a little painful from Su Yang's voice, and said in a deep voice, "I may know where the prince went."
When everyone heard this, they all showed joy on their faces.
Su Yang also smiled and said, "That's great."
