Chapter 216 Persuading the Commander of the Imperial Guards
Commander Hu and several others brought a large army directly to the Tenth Princess's Mansion and surrounded it tightly.
Ji Lan in the mansion was planning to go to bed. Just when she was about to fall asleep, someone came to report that something happened in the Colosseum. Her sleepiness was immediately driven away.
She called someone in to ask what was going on. She learned that Commander Hu had led his men to surround the Colosseum. She immediately felt something was wrong and immediately sent someone to the palace to tell the Sixth Prince Ji Mingxuan the news.
She packed up and wanted to go to the Colosseum to see what was going on, but then she changed her mind and realized that the situation there was already like this. Even if she went there, it would be useless and would only expose herself.
Thinking of this, she decided not to go and decided to just go to the palace. Just as she finished packing and was about to enter the palace, she happened to see that Commander Hu had surrounded her mansion.
She couldn't go out even if she wanted to.
When she thought of this, she became furious and walked out with her men. When she saw Commander Hu, she reached out and wanted to hit him in the face.
But Commander Hu dared to resist and grabbed Ji Lan's hand and threw it down fiercely.
Seeing his hand being shaken off, Ji Lan's eyes widened in disbelief. "You... you dare to fight me? Are you trying to commit insubordination?"
After Ji Lan finished speaking, he found that the outside was surrounded by officers and soldiers. This was obviously not the more than a hundred people mentioned by the person who came to report.
There are so many people, definitely more than a hundred.
"Catch her for me." Ji Mingzhe, who was standing aside, said.
After he finished speaking, several officers and soldiers came forward to take her away.
Ji Lan turned her head to look at the person who was speaking. Ji Mingzhe was wearing a mask. Ji Lan did not recognize him, but she felt that his voice sounded a little familiar. She could not think of where she had seen him before.
"Who are you? Why are you arresting me? I'm a princess. Do you know what the consequences will be if you arrest me? My sixth brother won't let you go either."
Ji Lan couldn't believe why Commander Hu would listen to an outsider. Thinking of this, she turned to Commander Hu and said, "Commander Hu, I don't know what benefits he promised you. I'll give you a chance. All you have to do is follow my sixth brother.
I promise you that I will let my sixth brother lead your Imperial Guards. Is that okay with you?"
Commander Hu disdained the position at all. He ignored Ji Lan and had her tied up. He then took people to arrest all the people in the mansion, not letting any one go.
Ji Lan was caught and saw that not only she was arrested, but many officials were also arrested. There were even other officers and soldiers who took people to search these people's houses.
After arresting the person, Commander Hu led his men to the Dali Temple. At this time, the Dali Temple Minister Qian Gui had already gone to bed.
However, Commander Hu sent someone to wake the person up.
Qian Gui was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up. He felt a little unhappy, but when he heard the report that Commander Hu was coming with the princess and many ministers, he couldn't sleep anymore and immediately rolled out of bed.
When I went outside and saw what was happening, I was terrified.
He hurried forward to ask what was going on. Commander Hu asked his men to put these people in jail first and told him that someone would send more people over soon.
Seeing that Commander Hu didn't want to talk, Qian Gui didn't dare to ask. He just felt extremely uneasy. These were all officials appointed by the court. Is it really okay to lock them up?
Seeing Qian Gui's hesitation, Commander Hu walked up to him and said a few words to him. After listening, he immediately looked at Ji Mingzhe.
After just one glance, he immediately looked away.
He immediately ordered people to arrest these people.
Ji Lan saw all this from behind. She was very curious about what Commander Hu had said to Qian Gui, and why he was so hesitant at the beginning, but now he just ordered people to take them away.
She really wanted to ask, but her mouth was blocked and she could only make grunting sounds.
Commander Hu and Qian Gui exchanged a few more words and did not stay here for long. They asked Ji Mingzhe's opinion, and when he saw that he agreed to charge directly into the palace, Commander Hu led 10,000 elite soldiers towards the palace.
Xiao Yuchen and Jiang Nanyuan naturally planned to follow, and she also wanted to take a good look outside.
When we arrived outside the palace, the city gate was already guarded by the Royal Guards.
After the news about Ji Lan was sent to the palace, Ji Mingxuan panicked and immediately ordered Commander Zhu to lead the Imperial Guards to guard the city gate. No matter who broke in, they would be killed without mercy.
When Zhu Bing heard the news, although he was confused, he still took his men to guard the city gate. He originally thought that the Sixth Prince was making a fuss, but he didn't expect that someone actually led soldiers into the palace.
When he saw that it was Commander Hu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. How could it be him?
He and Commander Hu had been playmates since childhood, and they had a very good relationship. He had never imagined that he would be the one leading the troops into the palace, so he was very conflicted. If this happened to him, how would he face it? Would it be a fight to the death?
Why was he doing this? Wasn't he loyal to the Emperor? Why was he bribed by someone else?
Could it be that he has forgotten the oath they made before?
Zhu Bing's mind was in a whirl of thoughts, while Commander Hu had already led his men to the city.
The archers saw the people coming and were already ready, waiting for Zhu Bing's order.
"Zhu Bing, come down, I have something to tell you." Seeing that the person guarding the city gate was Zhu Bing, Commander Hu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It was good that it was him.
As long as the situation is explained to him, he will definitely not continue to stand on the side of the Sixth Prince. Commander Hu still knows his character.
Zhu Bing hesitated for a moment and was about to go down, but when the other officers and soldiers saw him going down, they said anxiously, "Commander Zhu, you can't go down."
Zhu Bing looked at the deputy commander who was trying to persuade him, and he smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, he won't hurt me."
After Zhu Bing finished speaking, he used his lightness skills to fly down and stopped in front of Commander Hu. He turned his head to look at Xiao Yuchen, Ji Mingzhe and others, then looked at Commander Hu and asked.
"Hu Kang, tell me, what do you want to tell me?"
Hu Kang glanced at Xiao Yuchen, then said to him, "Zhu Bing, we are good friends, and I don't want to hide it from you.
You let your troops retreat, and I and…” Hu Kang paused, glanced at Ji Mingzhe, and continued, “And the Emperor and the Crown Prince will charge in together.”
When Zhu Bing heard Hu Kang's words, he reached out and touched his forehead. "Hu Kang, are you sick? The emperor is in the palace. Besides, where did the prince come from?"
"I'm here." When Ji Mingzhe heard Zhu Bing's words, he took off the mask on his face. When Zhu Bing saw Ji Mingzhe's face, his face twitched a few times and he immediately knelt down.
"emperor."
