"Your Highness, let's get back to the main topic!" He Xiao couldn't help but ask, "What do you plan to do next?"
What he meant was that Wei Maozhen hadn't been caught yet.
Lin Mo grinned, "Don't worry, I have secretly dispatched 50,000 elite troops to surround the palace. Not even a fly can escape, let alone Wei Maozhen!"
"Huh? Fifty thousand elite troops..." Sun Mian was shocked again.
These 50,000 elite troops were obtained by Lin Mo by spending 150,000 points.
Of these, 50,000 were exchanged for population, 50,000 were used to level up, and the remaining 50,000 were used to exchange for equipment (which the system sells in sets).
While accompanying the Imperial Guards to the palace, he secretly camped around the palace, waiting for Empress Wei Maozhen to walk right into his trap.
In his initial plan, Lin Mo was prepared to be a "tyrant".
I've gone straight to the other side; I'm too lazy to argue with her.
Lin Mo no longer cared about corruption values; after overthrowing the Empress and becoming the Emperor of Great Xia, he would deal with the rest later.
Lin Mo never expected that Wei Maozhen would be so reckless as to commit such a self-destructive act of "killing two birds with one stone".
"Haha, I can't blame her." Lin Mo couldn't help but think, "No matter how much she schemed, Wei Maozhen would never have figured out that I have a system, and a system that can summon such a powerful 'Nightmare Cavalry'."
The matter is not yet finished; this is not the time to relax.
Wei Maozhen is to be killed or imprisoned; we must arrest him first.
So Lin Mo opened the system again and entered the soldier upgrade module.
"A new type of soldier, resembling the Eight Asuras, seemingly heavenly but not heavenly, easily angered and belligerent, brave and skilled in battle, bloodthirsty... Should I exchange for some and take a look?"
Without further ado, I spent some points to exchange for 100 soldiers, and then increased the number of new troops to 100, which cost me 12,000 points.
"Exchange, upgrade!"
[Ding, redemption successful!]
[Ding! Upgrade successful!]
Before long, a hundred tall, imposing warriors, clad in red steel armor coated with enamel, entered the hall.
(Of course, I have to brush the outside, otherwise I'll have to explain for ages.)
Their armor, polished repeatedly, shone like fire, and their attire alone was truly awe-inspiring.
"Your Highness, we pay our respects!" all one hundred men shouted in unison.
Holy crap, this look, this outfit, it's definitely worth every penny!
I need to give them names, Lin Mo thought.
“Father-in-law, please allow me to introduce you,” he said. “These are my Imperial Guards. They are all elite soldiers that I recruited from Shu. This time, they can finally be put to use in the capital.”
"Imperial Guards?"
Sun Mian couldn't help but gasp.
Sun Ruoxi looked on with admiration.
Only He Xiao could guess the general idea. "It must be a blessing from the ancient gods!" he thought. "Allowing him to bring divine soldiers and generals to this world!"
At this moment, Lin Mo waved his hand and said, "Alright, enough talk, let's get to work!"
He ordered He Xiao to lead a team of one hundred "Imperial Guards" and thirteen "Nightmare Cavalry" to eliminate the Imperial Guards in the palace.
I still have a lot of points left, and after sparring with Xu Chu for so long, my personal combat strength is now completely different from before, so I don't need protection!
Now, the entire palace is surrounded by layers of walls, making it impossible for Wei Maozhen to escape.
~~~
The Minister of War reported the news of the defeat to Wei Maozhen, but she sat idly in the Golden Palace, twirling the empty wine cup in her hand, and said, "Go and tell my Imperial Guard Commander."
Her voice was indifferent, as if it were none of her business.
"Your Majesty, Zheng Changqing is dead, and Lord Ling is still missing!" The Minister of War had an injured arm, and his outer garment was soaked with blood. When he entered the secret room, many female relatives and officials screamed in fright.
"Where has he gone?" Wei Maozhen felt a deep bitterness.
"Yes! According to my estimation, at least 50,000 men have surrounded the palace—50,000 rebel troops under the command of the traitor Lin Mo! Damn it, where did all these troops come from?"
"Demon soldiers and generals of the underworld!" Wei Maozhen had descended into a kind of madness. "Where is my Yue'er? Where is my princess? Have you brought her?"
"Your Majesty, why are you still concerned about the princess?" The Minister of War was both angry and anxious. "She's not in her palace; the Imperial Guards have searched everywhere but haven't found her. At this moment, you should go to the city gate to boost the morale of the Imperial Guards. Only in this way can we stabilize the army's morale and win this battle."
Your Majesty, why have you become like this? If you have lost faith, how can the morale of the army not collapse? Now hundreds and thousands of Imperial Guards have thrown down their spears and are fleeing.
The inner gates of the palace were blocked by flames and corpses; we could have held them..."
A member of the Imperial Guard squeezed past him.
"Currently, the rebels and the Imperial Guards are fighting at Taihe Gate, Your Majesty. The rebel Lin Mo seems to have temporarily halted his offensive. No one can say for sure what's going on. The entire palace is in chaos."
"Lord Ling has disappeared; we can't find him anywhere. The deputy commander of the Imperial Guards has retreated to the inner palace. Fengtian Gate has been occupied by the enemy, and they've somehow acquired a battering ram, which they're currently using to ram the gate."
Your Majesty, please make a decision quickly. Many Imperial Guards abandoned their posts on the city walls and began killing officers.
Even the palace eunuchs rebelled...
These people swarmed in, attempting to open the gate, but were killed by the Imperial Guards.
The imperial harem was in utter chaos!
Upon hearing this, the mother and daughter smiled.
"Heaven has opened its eyes," my mother thought. My wish has finally come true.
Wei Maozhen is about to lose his head... and so will I.
She frantically searched for Ling Tiande, but the Empress's favorite minister was nowhere to be found. I could sense him. He was nearby; I couldn't escape, he would cut off my head.
