Why did he appear in the capital? And why did he come to the palace?

This killing naturally does not mean killing Zong Zhenghui, as the King of Southern Xinjiang did not issue such an order.

The King of Southern Xinjiang was furious. He turned his head and looked at the civil and military officials in the aisle.

Yin Chongshan had disappeared long ago.

It's him!

The King of Southern Xinjiang’s fists were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.

When the Queen Mother appeared, he already realized something was wrong.

But at that time he did not suspect Yin Chongshan. He just thought that the noise in the Golden Palace was too loud and someone went to inform the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother rushed here despite the danger because she was worried about the safety of her own son.

Looking again, it seems that the Queen Mother was probably led here by someone.

Concubine Yin!

You are so brave!

You became my concubine, but you still colluded with your own family to betray me!

The camps of the Qinglong and Fuhu tribes were not in the royal capital. After receiving the messenger sent by Yin Chongshan, they led their troops to the royal capital overnight.

The infantry was still on the way, and the first to arrive were 10,000 cavalry.

Among them, 5,000 broke into the palace, and the remaining 5,000 went to various garrisons to prevent the royal guards who were still in the garrisons from rushing to the rescue of the palace.

The total strength of the Royal Guards is 20,000, and there are 10,000 guards in the camp outside the city.

However, the head of the Yin family bribed several commanders of the garrisons in advance, and nearly 5,000 troops will not participate in the battle.

As for those outside the city, Wei Ting forged an imperial edict and asked Ling Yun to disguise himself as Xie Jinnian, and led them to Liu County, a hundred miles away, to suppress the bandits.

By the time they realized that the imperial edict and Xie Jinnian were fake, they would be unable to return in time to participate in today's battle.

Of course, there is still pressure.

They must defeat the enemy with fewer troops and must win quickly.

There will be no second chance to take back the throne, because once Zong Zhenghui shows up, it's either win or death.

The King of Southern Xinjiang is also under a lot of pressure.

He had never expected that his brother's actions would be so powerful.

He underestimated him. After hiding for just five days, he bribed the Yin and Cheng families, and even the Saint Maiden turned to work for him.

What on earth is he capable of, and why did he let all these people join his camp?

What about the Saint's ambition?

Abandoned them all?

Or did she think that Zong Zhenghui was easier to control than herself and wanted to support a puppet monarch? Even if the King of Nanjiang racked his brains, he would never guess that the Saint Girl had been turned into a puppet by Ling Yun.

Just as the King of Southern Xinjiang was trying hard to find Yin Chongshan, Xie Jinnian set his eyes on Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao took Zong Zhenghui and stood in the corner east of the entrance.

The saint worked hard to block wave after wave of attacks for them.

One of Yin Chongshan's trusted guards mixed in with the troops of the two major tribes and attacked the Golden Palace.

He came in front of Su Xiaoxiao and Zong Zhenghui and said, "Miss Cheng, Your Majesty, the Lord asked me to escort you out."

Su Xiaoxiao said to Zong Zhenghui: "Let's go."

Zong Zhenghui hesitated and said, "I am worried about my mother."

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Your mother just admitted in the hall that you are Zong Zhenghui. If something happens now, wouldn't it just prove that he is guilty and wants to kill you? He is not that stupid. At most, he will put your mother under house arrest, but he will not hurt her life!"

The King of Southern Xinjiang even imprisoned his own brother. His heart is extremely vicious.

If he is pushed to the limit, he will do anything.

But he also weighs the pros and cons.

If he really killed the Queen Mother, it would surely arouse public indignation, causing more and more people to question him and thus turn to Zong Zhenghui.

If she was the King of Southern Xinjiang, she would have captured Zong Zhenghui and threatened with his life to force the empress dowager to change her words and admit that she was poisoned and that what she said in the hall that day was all nonsense.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "As long as you are not caught, the Queen Mother will be safe."

Zong Zhenghui also understood that what Su Xiaoxiao said was true, so he finally agreed to evacuate with Su Xiaoxiao first.

Yin Chongshan's trusted guards escorted them away from the chaotic scene.

The King of Southern Xinjiang ordered: "Capture them both! Cheng Su can be killed, but the man must be alive!"

The two ghost guards quickly rushed over to the two of them.

The saint took out a white silk and wrapped it around the waist of one of them, then shot out several silver needles, temporarily forcing back the other one.

Although the two of them quickly counterattacked, broke the saint's white silk and broke free from the saint's restraint.

But this delay allowed Su Xiaoxiao and Zong Zhenghui to escape.

The two ghost guards continued to chase, but were stopped by the saint.

There are many naval forces in southern Xinjiang, and the Qinglong and Fuhu tribes are rare tribes that have cavalry.

Their cavalry were extremely brave and skilled in combat, and when their numbers were equal, the Imperial Guards were no match for them.

Seeing the five thousand imperial guards being defeated and the troops from the garrisons being slow to arrive, the King of Southern Xinjiang realized the seriousness of the situation.

A ghost guard clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I will escort you to a safe place first!"

The King of Southern Xinjiang doesn't want to leave.

He wanted to see Zong Zhenghui fall into his hands with his own eyes!

"Your Majesty," Xie Jinnian advised, "Take care of your health first, so that the soldiers can fight with peace of mind."

The King of Southern Xinjiang suppressed the rage burning in his heart and said, "The troops from the garrison didn't make it here. They must have been stopped halfway. But there was a garrison with troops, and they didn't have time to stop them."

The Qinglong and Fuhu tribes came from the west gate. To them, the Jinwu Guards in the east of the city were the farthest away, so the two sides must not have met each other at this moment.

The King of Southern Xinjiang said to the Ghost Guard, "Quickly take a few people with you and go to the Jinwu Guard to convey my will."

…

Cheng family.

Cheng Sang couldn't see Su Xiaoxiao again, so he asked Mei Ji, "Little bird fairy, where is Weiwei?"

Meiji said: "She went out and will be back before dark."

Cheng Sang thought for a moment and said, "If she doesn't come back, we'll go find her."

Meiji: Have you become addicted to running out recently? Meiji knew Su Xiaoxiao's whereabouts, and she wanted to go with Su Xiaoxiao, but Su Xiaoxiao asked her to stay and protect Cheng Sang.

Thinking that Cheng Sang only had a psychopath named Yuchi Xiu by his side, Mei Ji agreed.

The three little ones went to play in the yard and came back running.

Da Hu said, "There are so many people outside."

Erhu said: "They surrounded our house!"

Xiaohu bared his teeth exaggeratedly: "I'm so scared."

"Master, what happened? A lot of soldiers suddenly showed up outside the Cheng family! Is His Majesty going to kill us?"

Xie Yunhe asked Manager Cui to find out.

But no matter how Manager Cui asked, the soldiers were like deaf and dumb and didn't even look at him.

Cheng Lian was so scared that she was walking around in the room: "What should I do? What should I do?"

Xie Yunhe asked someone to go to the back door.

The back door was also guarded.

The Jinwu Guard received the imperial edict, and the commander led two thousand soldiers straight to the Cheng family.

They want to arrest Cheng Sang, Cheng Lian and Xie Yunhe.

One is the patriarch of the Cheng family, and the other is the biological parents of the saint. They will be important hostages in the hands of the King of Southern Xinjiang.

However, when they arrived at Cheng's house, they were surprised to see an unfamiliar army.

Each of them was dressed in black armor, holding a halberd, with cold eyes and a strong aura.

The commander was riding on horseback, frowning, "Which guard post are you from?"

The general of the Black Armor Guards glanced at him coldly and asked, "Were you sent by Lord Dog?"

The commander of the Jinwu Guards shouted angrily, "How dare you! How dare you be so disrespectful to Your Majesty! Come! Capture him!"

A Jinwu Guard rode forward, swung the sword in his hand, and slashed hard at the Black Armor Guard general.

The black-armored guard general swung his halberd and cut off the opponent's head with one move!

The bloody head rolled to the commander's horse's hooves, with a pair of big eyes still wide open with shock in them.

The commander's face changed slightly, and he looked at the other party coldly: "If you don't accept my toast, then you will be punished. It seems that you are also a rebel. Then don't blame the Jinwu Guards for destroying the Cheng family today!"

The commander was not afraid, because he brought with him a total of two thousand soldiers, while the black-armored army in front of him had only three hundred people at most.

The Black Armor Guards commander clenched his halberd tightly and said, "Black Armor Guards, listen to my orders. Anyone who breaks into the Cheng family will be killed without mercy!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

There were only three hundred black-armored guards, but they managed to create the momentum of an army of thousands.

Each black-armored guard was like a brave lone wolf, pouncing forward and biting the enemy's throat, never giving the enemy the slightest chance to counterattack.

The commander became more and more frightened as he killed more people.

These black-armored soldiers were too powerful. Where did they come from? Every move was extremely ruthless, fast and accurate, hitting the vital points.

They are also proficient in formations. Once trapped in a formation, only a pool of flesh and blood will be left when they come out.

How can this be called a war?

You are all killers!

Just as the Black Armor Guards were desperately trying to kill the Golden Guards, eight Ghost Shadow Guards quietly sneaked into the Cheng family.

They split up, four of them went to capture Cheng Lian and Xie Yunhe, and four of them went to capture Cheng Sang.

Xie Yunhe was soon arrested.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Lian put on a maid's clothes and fled to Cheng Sang's yard.

"Sister, save me—"

Four ghost guards descended from the sky and were about to catch Cheng Sang who was fighting crickets on the ground.

Before they could make a move, a man's arrogant and disdainful voice came from the rooftop: "How dare a mere mortal come to the Lord God's territory to cause trouble!"

The four looked up and saw a man standing on the roof, dressed in black from head to toe, holding a long sword and with his back to them.

Damn it!

Where did this lunatic come from? A ghost guard rushed forward and kicked him.

Yuchi Xiu turned around to avoid it, and stabbed with his sword in his backhand! The Ghost Guard also dodged it swiftly.

Yuchi Xiu: "You can dodge this god's sword, you..."

Duang!

Meiji hit him on the back of the head with a eaten corn cob.

"You Yuchi! If you want to hit me, then hit me! What the hell is wrong with you!"

Yuchi Xiu's face darkened and he started fighting with the other party.

The Ghost Shadow Guards are masters comparable to top-level puppets, and there are so many of them, the two of them are no match for them.

Just as Cheng Sang was about to be captured, a terrifying murderous aura came from the air and chopped off the Ghost Shadow Guard's hand that was reaching out to Cheng Sang.

The Ghost Guard screamed.

Gui Bu landed behind him and stabbed him in the back with a sword.

Another ghost guard rushed towards Cheng Sang.

Wei Ting and Wei Liulang came with swords drawn, protecting Cheng Sang on the left and right.

Except for the ghost guard who abducted Xie Yunhe, the other three also rushed over.

The two sides fought fiercely.

Little did they know that there was a ninth Ghost Guard lurking in the dark.

He set his sights on the three children who were eating candied haws in the house.

He broke in through the window, grabbed one and ran out!

"No grabbing the axe!"

Xiaohu threw his favorite candied haws away and rushed over to bite the other man's butt! Erhu also reacted and bit the other man's butt tightly together with his brother.

The Ghost Shadow Guard's body trembled in pain, his arm slipped, and the tiger fell down.

He swung one away and grabbed another.

It’s Xiaohu.

Wei Ting's eyebrows jumped: "There are others!"

A ghost guard blocked his way.

The ninth ghost guard grabbed Xiaohu and took him out of the mansion.

But when he escaped to a secluded alley, he suddenly heard a melodious piano sound.
