"ah?"
Dugu Ce pretended to be confused, "What's your intention?"
"Pretend, keep pretending!"
Shen Luoyan looked at Dugu Ce with a smile, "They are the imperial guards. Since they know Yun Zheng is going to seize power, they must do something! Being unable to stop it and whether or not to stop it are two different things, right?"
What Han Jin said about dying together with her was all bullshit.
Yun Zheng is the core figure!
What was the point of them dying with her?
But they must show an attitude to prove that they are not accomplices of Yun Zheng.
If Emperor Wen pursued the matter, they had tried their best but there was nothing they could do to stop it.
If they kill her and force Yun Zheng to rebel, Han Jin and his entire clan will be exterminated.
...
...
But if they do nothing and return to the imperial city, although they may not be executed along with their entire clan, their lives will definitely be in danger.
Anyone who can become the deputy commander of the imperial guards must be aware of the interests involved.
So, Han Jin must do something.
Hearing Shen Luoyan's words, Dugu Ce suddenly laughed dryly.
He thought Shen Luoyan couldn't see the trick!
Shen Luoyan smiled and asked Dugu Ce: "Do you need us to tie you up too?"
"I hope you guys kill me."
Dugu Ce smiled bitterly and said, "Once the prince seizes control of the Northern Army, in the eyes of the emperor, I, as the deputy commander, will either do nothing or be your accomplice. My family is in the imperial city, and the princess should know what the emperor will do..."
Shen Luoyan understood that when he said killing, he definitely didn't mean real killing.
Otherwise, he would have asked for death when he broke out.
He just wanted to let Emperor Wen know that he was killed by Yun Zheng.
In this way, his family would not be implicated.
Shen Luoyan thought for a moment and replied, "You can talk to Yun Zheng later! Yun Zheng has many tricks up his sleeve. He may not necessarily announce your death. There may be other ways! General Dugu, you are a qualified general, and Yun Zheng is even better!"
Dugu Ce nodded silently, but kept sighing in his heart.
Han Jin was helpless, and so was he!
Serving the king is like serving a tiger!
If they caused internal strife in the Northern Palace Army, or forced Yun Zheng to rebel, once Yun Zheng's troops were at the gates of the city, Emperor Wen would definitely kill their families without hesitation to appease Yun Zheng's anger.
Yun Zheng and Emperor Wen are father and son, and they can talk about anything.
But they had nothing to talk about!
If they did nothing, they would not be able to bear the wrath of Emperor Wen.
So, it's a dilemma.
But he had to make a choice.
…
Soon, they arrived at Jing'anwei.
With Dugu Ce, the deputy commander of the Northern Army, there, and with so few of them, the soldiers defending the city did not need to worry about them surrendering to the enemy and taking the city, and they entered Jing'an Guard smoothly.
At this moment, Wei Shuo also learned the news that the defenders on the border had forced a breakout.
However, he still didn't know the outcome of this battle.
But he wasn't worried at all.
Yun Zheng and his men's forced breakout was just a last-ditch effort.
Once the army behind Beihuan comes up, they will definitely be wiped out.
Big brother is still one step ahead!
This plan not only eliminated the important threat of Yun Zheng, but also eliminated many generals who were dissatisfied with him!
Including Dugu Ce, the deputy commander of the Northern Army!
When the emperor investigates the matter, they will say that Yun Zheng was careless and reckless and fell into the enemy's trap. However, their troops are limited, and the enemy troops on the Tianhu front are still ready to move. They really do not have the troops to rescue him.
Even if His Majesty is dissatisfied, he will definitely not punish my brother severely under such circumstances.
wonderful!
Wonderful!
Wei Shuo was sitting leisurely in his mansion drinking tea. If he had not been afraid that people would accuse him of gloating over other people's misfortune, he would have asked someone to sing some songs for him.
Just when Wei Shuo was feeling leisurely and contented, there was a sudden noise outside.
Before Wei Shuo could ask, Shen Luoyan and Dugu Ce, both covered in blood, rushed in with a few people.
Looking at the two of them, Wei Shuo's expression suddenly changed.
Damn, they broke through successfully?
After a brief moment of distraction, Wei Shuo stood up hastily, pretending to be worried, and ran forward in a hurry, "Princess, Deputy Commander, what are you doing..."
“Ahem…”
Shen Luoyan pretended to be extremely weak and fell to the ground.
"princess!"
Wei Shuo yelled and hurried to help him.
At the moment when Wei Shuo was supporting him, the cloud pattern spear in Shen Luoyan's hand suddenly stretched out.
Wei Shuo never thought that Shen Luoyan was here to kill him, and he was completely unprepared.
By the time Wei Shuo reacted, the cloud pattern spear had already pierced Wei Shuo through.
"General!"
Seeing Wei Shuo being attacked, the personal guards in the mansion drew their weapons and rushed forward.
"Stop right there!"
Dugu Ce suddenly shouted, "Wei Wenzhong and Wei Shuo colluded with Beihuan and intended to kill the 40,000 troops in Gubian! There is irrefutable evidence, and tens of thousands of soldiers in Gubian can testify! If you dare to act without authorization again, you will all be charged with treason in the future! Put down your weapons immediately, and those who have nothing to do with this matter will not be held accountable!"
Following Dugu Ce's loud shout, all the personal soldiers suddenly hesitated.
"Dugu Ce, you...you want to rebel?"
Wei Shuo fell to the ground, holding his bloody chest, struggling in his death throes.
"Rebellion? I think it's you and your brothers who want to rebel!"
Dugu Ce took out the letter of treason with his eyes blazing, "This is the evidence of your treason! Wei Shuo, the emperor treats you brothers well, who gave you the guts to collude with the enemy and murder the 40,000 troops at Gubian?"
"You... this is slander..."
Wei Shuo spat out large mouthfuls of blood, and weakly growled at his personal soldiers: "Kill...them..."
"Noisy!"
Shen Luoyan thrust out the spear in his hand again and pierced Wei Shuo's neck directly. He then pulled out the cloud-patterned spear stained with Wei Shuo's blood and shouted angrily with a cold face: "Wei Shuo has been executed. If you don't lay down your weapons, you will be charged with treason!"
Facing Shen Luoyan's murderous gaze, the group of personal soldiers were frightened.
Now, Wei Shuo is dead.
There is not much point in them protecting Wei Shuo to the death.
“Ding ding ding…”
Many people dropped their weapons.
"Shen Luoyan!"
The leader of Wei Shuo's personal guards tightly grasped the weapon in his hand and shouted angrily: "It is you who are plotting rebellion! Dugu Ce, you dare to collude with them to rebel, aren't you afraid..."
"So much nonsense!"
Chen Luoyan didn't give the commander of his personal guards any chance to talk nonsense and immediately raised his gun and shot at him.
Faced with Shen Luoyan's fierce attack, the commander of the personal guards was killed by Shen Luoyan before he could even hold out for a few rounds.
With the death of the commander of the imperial guards and Wei Shuo, the few imperial guards who had not yet laid down their weapons also quickly laid down their weapons.
"Go, beat the drum!"
Dugu Ce acted decisively and immediately ordered Wei Shuo's personal soldiers to beat the drum to gather the troops.
As the drum for gathering generals sounded, the generals of Jing'an Guard gathered one after another.
However, as soon as they entered the door, they saw Wei Shuo's head.
Facing the angry and confused eyes of the crowd, Shen Luoyan suddenly shouted: "Everyone, go sit aside, I will tell you the reason later!"
Everyone was impressed by Chen Luoyan's aura, so they obediently walked to the side and sat down.
It was not until all the generals above the fifth rank in the city had arrived that Shen Luoyan winked at Dugu Ce, "General Dugu, give them the letter in your hand! Let them see who the traitor is!"
