"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived."

A senior court scholar respectfully asked, "Should we start inspecting the military parade now?"

"Well, then... let's get started!"

King Yan's voice was a little hoarse. He gave a simple order and said no more.

"Military parade begins!"

Then, as the court scholars' voices spread out, dozens of huge drums in the imperial city suddenly started beating.

Boom! Boom! Boom…!!!

The rapid and heavy drumbeats suddenly exploded.

Immediately afterwards, at the end of the passages on both sides of the central square, a loud horn sounded.

The people in the field immediately stretched their necks and looked towards the passage.

This passage has been used as a dedicated passage for military parades throughout the ages.

Even though the place was crowded with people at this moment, no one dared to set foot in.

Soon, a sound of orderly footsteps began to be heard.

Soon everyone saw a square formation of elite infantry appear in their field of vision first.

In the sunlight, this infantry phalanx of about 3,000 people was well-equipped.

The soldiers' walking posture was extremely standard.

The sound of the footsteps trampling on the ground was extremely orderly and extremely shocking!

"City Defense Force!"

"This is our imperial capital's city defense force!"

Seeing this, the crowd in the square began to cheer enthusiastically.

The city defense army is an army that guards the periphery of the imperial capital. Each soldier can be said to be an elite soldier selected from the army.

And those who are selected for the military parade in this celebration are the elite among the elite!

Da! Da! Da…!!!

A long phalanx of infantry came at a steady pace from the end of the square street with crisp and loud footsteps.

At the head of the city defense infantry phalanx, a knight led the team.

He was wearing golden armor, riding on a horse, and looked very proud.

The person leading the team was none other than the second prince Yan Fengjun.

Next, the Royal Guards appeared.

They wear uniform black steel armor and red cloaks, and their momentum is slightly better than that of the Guards.

The Royal Guards also appeared in a square formation.

Every soldier held a steel sword in his hand, filled with a strong murderous aura.

The first person to lead the team was the young fourth prince Yan Chen.

He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and rode on his horse with his back straight, looking like a general returning from a triumphant victory.

As if it was an intentional arrangement, Qin Yu also rode a black horse, wearing the armor of the Qin border army, and walked side by side with Yan Chen.

Although he was the only substitute in the Border Guard Army, he caused quite a stir.

"This year, the Qin family's border defense army has also made an appearance!"

"Tsk tsk, you really can't judge a person by his appearance. That prodigal son Qin Yu looks like a general in this outfit!"

"Then you don't even need to consider whose bloodline he inherited. General Qin is unrivaled in our Great Yan Dynasty. A good father will have a good son."

For a moment, everyone started talking excitedly.

At such a festive moment, no one tried to belittle Qin Yu, and the vast majority of words were praise.

"Tsk, if dad hadn't asked me to accompany Yanchen, I wouldn't want to wear this heavy armor."

Listening to the discussions in the field, Qin Yu secretly curled his lips.

However, at this moment, the loud sound of horse hooves suddenly interrupted the people's discussion.

The sound of hooves is like thunder!

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

Because next up is the Guards’ cavalry lineup!

Perhaps to match the festive atmosphere of the celebration, the cavalry's full body armor is very bright and colorful.

In the sunlight, it looks like it is covered with a layer of gold, sparkling with a bright golden glow.

The finale of this military parade was naturally led by the eldest prince Yan Peng himself.

However, some generals who were watching from the high platform vaguely saw some clues.

Under normal circumstances, they might not think too much about it, but in this sensitive period, things are different.

Because the phalanx of the Royal Guards was sandwiched between the city defense troops and the Guards cavalry.

In such a situation, if a mutiny broke out, the Imperial Guards would be killed in an instant without leaving a single soldier alive!

According to tradition, after the three-service guard of honor circled the central square, they saluted King Yan and accepted the inspection ceremony.

call out--!

However, when they were approaching the imperial city platform, an icy arrow suddenly shot out from the formation of the Royal Guards.

The arrow was shot towards King Yan who was sitting on the dragon throne!

By the time everyone reacted, the arrow had already passed through King Yan's head and hit the back of the chair.

The shaking arrow tail vibrated in the ears of King Yan, as if mocking his current old age and incompetence.

Wow——!

The sudden change shocked the whole audience!

"Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor quickly!!"

Suddenly, hurried screams were heard from the platform, and the palace guards rushed to the platform to protect King Yan.

The old king still sat in his chair, indifferent.

He glanced at the vacant throne of Crown Prince, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

No one knew that his hands beneath his sleeves were shaking slightly and uncontrollably!

A smile slowly appeared on the corner of the Third Prince Yan Hongyi's mouth.

The good show is about to begin.

“We’ve fallen into a trap!”

Qin Xiong stood up suddenly, his eyes like a lion, sweeping towards the Imperial Guards.

Yan Chen's face was extremely gloomy at this moment.

He had imagined many ways of mutiny, but he never thought that someone would dare to openly shoot an arrow at King Yan!

The worst thing was that this cold arrow was shot from the Royal Guards led by him.

This situation undoubtedly put the crime of regicide directly on his own head.

Although the logic is not reasonable, at least it gives the forces that are already planning to rebel a legitimate reason to launch a mutiny! !

"Assholes, how dare the Royal Guards assassinate His Majesty!"

"Arrest them all immediately and find the murderer!"

Sure enough, just as Qin Xiong had expected, the eldest prince Yan Peng and the second prince Yan Fengjun immediately raised their swords and shouted loudly.

"Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!!"

Following the order, the Royal Guards cavalry and city defense infantry, who had been ready for action, all drew their sharp swords.

With ferocious faces, they charged towards the unprepared Imperial Guards! !

Under this pincer attack, the Royal Guards were almost caught off guard and their phalanx collapsed instantly!

"kill--!"

Of course, the Imperial Guards would not sit still and wait for death. Under the leadership of Yan Chen and Qin Yu, they immediately rose up in resistance.

For a moment, a fierce battle broke out in the central square.

A strong smell of blood also began to spread in the space.

"The Imperial Guards have rebelled!"

"Today is a celebration, these damn bastards!!"

The sudden coup caused the people to exclaim in surprise and roar in anger!

The panicked crowd rushed to escape from the central square.

At this moment, the scene was in complete chaos!
