"Your Highness, all the villains and soldiers who stormed the palace have been completely wiped out!"
A young man in armor knelt on one knee and respectfully reported back.
"Good! Thank you for your hard work, General Zheng and the guards!"
Xie Yuan nodded, treating the general with great courtesy.
In fact, this person belongs to Xie Yuan's team.
His name was Zheng Cheng, and his sister was Zheng Yurong, the top female official by Xie Yuan's side.
His younger brother, Zheng Xin, is now managing Xie Yuan's business because he enjoys making money.
He is the CEO of Xie Yuan's business empire.
Of the four Zheng siblings, two have already become Xie Yuan's disciples.
The youngest sister, Zheng Lirong, also passed the entrance exam for the Prince's Academy, which Xie Yuan was organizing, and was considered Xie Yuan's reserve officer.
Only Zheng Cheng remained. Even if he never considered acknowledging Xie Yuan as his master, he still bore the mark of the Xie family.
In fact, when Helian Jue was arranging the personnel to stay behind, he also gave priority to people like Zheng Cheng.
Although they still held positions in the Prince's army, they were more like Xie Yuan's protégés.
Zheng Cheng probably understood this as well, and treated Xie Yuan with exceptional respect.
"We dare not! Guarding the palace and protecting Her Highness and the young princes are our duties."
"Moreover, Her Highness the Princess had already planned and orchestrated this whole affair; we were merely following her orders."
Zheng Cheng replied with great sincerity.
In fact, he did not boast wildly just because Xie Yuan was his master.
Xie Yuan had already received the news and knew the details of the other party's actions, including the events and steps involved.
What Zheng Cheng needed to do was lead his soldiers to ambush on the rooftops and walls.
Looking down from a high vantage point!
Close the door and beat the dog!
Zheng Cheng felt that anyone could do such a job as long as they were obedient.
Therefore, he truly doesn't deserve a simple "hard work".
Xie Yuan smiled and said, "Although I have made arrangements, you will handle the specific details!"
"By the way, after dealing with things inside the Prince's mansion, we also need to send people to search and confiscate the property of the Huang, Chen, Xian, and other families."
"General Zheng, remember, you must follow the Great Zhou Law."
"It is essential to clarify exactly what crime was committed and whether there are witnesses or physical evidence."
"Also, invite Governor Zhou over! Let him supervise the confiscation of property, the sentencing, and so on..."
Xie Yuan slowly issued the orders one by one.
She and Helian Jue always shared the same understanding that even in Yuezhou, the law must be strictly followed.
It cannot be said that whoever has soldiers or the biggest fist can do whatever they want!
Lingnan is not a lawless place, much less a place beyond the reach of civilization.
This is the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the foundation of Helian Jue and his wife.
From top to bottom, there must be rules and adherence to the law.
Xie Yuan, as one of the rule-makers, was no exception!
"yes!"
Zheng Cheng clasped his hands in response and went to do his work.
"We didn't need to use this thing this time!"
Xie Yuan opened his hand, revealing a small porcelain bottle.
This also contains gunpowder.
Xie Yuan provided the secret formula and gave general requirements. After numerous experiments, the craftsmen of the Yue Prince's Mansion finally produced explosives with great power and relatively good stability.
This time, several powerful clans attempted to murder him, and Zhou Jiao'e, the Fourth Prince, and others acted as "insiders."
Xie Yuan learned of the plan in advance and made various preparations.
However, Xie Yuan was extremely cautious, always remembering the saying, "Plans are no match for change!"
Man proposes, God disposes!
No matter how perfect a plan is, there may still be loopholes.
In order to wipe out all those villains, Xie Yuan simply opened the door and let them in.
This is her home; she, her children, and her brother all live here.
In case of any unforeseen circumstances, Xie Yuan must have a "way out".
Xie Yuan's meticulously trained women's army was one of their escape routes;
The embroidered-robed messenger is the second option for retreat;
And this small porcelain bottle is the last resort.
Fortunately, Zheng Cheng was quite reliable, and the guards fought bravely against the enemy.
Xie Yuan didn't use any of his escape routes.
"I haven't received any messages from carrier pigeons for two days in a row. I wonder how Ah Xi is doing?"
"Has the small porcelain bottle already been used? Have those Turkic soldiers been repelled?"
No!
Let's turn our attention back to Beijing—
Ashina He, the young Turkic prince, was no ordinary man, capable of leading five thousand cavalrymen deep into the capital.
Among his many brothers, his abilities are quite outstanding.
Helian Chen sat in a hot air balloon and dropped small porcelain bottles into the air.
With a loud bang, the commander's flag and several soldiers around it were blown into the air.
A large crater also appeared nearby.
Such a commotion, such power, seemed like "divine retribution."
The Turks were also somewhat superstitious.
They revered the Eternal Heaven and had an instinctive fear of supernatural phenomena that they could not explain.
Ashina He was also frightened.
Not to mention the ordinary soldiers.
Of the 5,000 soldiers, Helian Chen didn't kill many directly with the small porcelain bottles.
More often than not, they themselves made a mess of things.
Some soldiers were injured, while others were so frightened that they scattered and fled.
During the rout, they collided with or even injured their companions.
For a time, outside the outer city of the capital, several thousand Turkic soldiers were in complete chaos.
But Ashina He quickly calmed down.
He picked up the horn and blew it with all his might.
A long, deep voice rang out, and the soldiers who had been running around like headless flies gradually calmed down.
