Chapter 834 Young General vs. Rich Lady 137
The Royal Guards were only rushed once, and except for those who fell off their horses, no one was injured. They had gathered together and surrounded the Huo family army.
Everyone in the Regent's lineage was denouncing Huo Xiao's evilness, as if killing him would not be enough to appease the public anger.
Gou Xun was just watching the fun, so he decided to let the two fight. While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. Whether it was to destroy the prestige of the regent or Huo Xiao was really caught, he would be happy to see it happen.
There was a flash of murderous intent in Huo Xiao's eyes. It would be a good idea to take the opportunity to kill a group of Royal Guards, eliminate the Regent's followers, and take the Royal Guards into his own hands.
He came to Wangdu to seize power, but he hadn't figured out how to do it. Since the regent jumped out first, he'd start with him.
Not to mention the weak Royal Guards, the thousand men he brought were enough to kill their way through Wangdu.
Yan Changfeng was really afraid of a fight. He was not afraid that Huo Xiao would be caught. He was afraid that Huo Xiao would kill the Regent in a rage. After all, he was his uncle.
Yan Changfeng rode forward, dismounted, and saluted his uncle, "Uncle, this is all a misunderstanding. Commander Zheng falsely conveyed the emperor's order and stopped us brothers from entering the city."
"General Huo is just too eager to see His Majesty the King of Wei as soon as possible. Uncle, please don't be impulsive. Fighting will not be good for anyone. Let's enter the city as soon as possible."
The regent ignored Yan Changfeng at all. This silly nephew really thought he was a member of the Huo family army. What a fool! He was too lazy to scold him. With a glance, two royal guards pulled Yan Changfeng over and stopped him from getting close to Huo Xiao.
Yan Changfeng's martial arts skills are very poor. He can only kill so many people on the battlefield with the help of weapons and cars given by the gods. In hand-to-hand combat, he will never be able to win.
If he used the weapons he carried with him, someone would die. He didn't want to use them, and he couldn't break free. He wanted to persuade his uncle, but the royal guards covered his mouth and stuffed him into the sedan chair.
"Marquis Wenxin, keep a close eye on your son. Don't let him get involved with the traitors and tarnish the reputation of your Yan family!"
Marquis Wenxin also hated his son for not living up to his expectations. He originally went there to seize military power, but ended up becoming Huo Xiao's lackey. He even wrote a letter to persuade his son not to go against Huo Xiao. It really made him so angry!
"Yes, yes, yes! I will definitely discipline him strictly!"
Marquis Wenxin quickly called over a few palace soldiers and said sternly, "Send the prince back home quickly! Gao came back with the child last month. Ask her to keep a close eye on the prince and don't let him go out and cause trouble."
"Tell the Madam and the Old Madam not to let him out. If he doesn't obey, I will punish him according to the family rules!"
Yan Changfeng was dragged away, but Huo Xiao didn't care. Marquis Wenxin would not do anything to his own son anyway. He was the only son of the Yan family.
Huo Xiao brought Yan Changfeng back, but he had no plan to ask Yan Changfeng to help him with anything. Blood ties are hard to break, and he couldn't let the father and son kill each other. For Yan Changfeng's sake, he would spare Marquis Wen Xin's life.
The Regent snorted coldly, "Hurry up and act! Capture the traitor and I will reward you handsomely!"
"Stop!" Wei Yin came out of the dragon sedan chair, and the eunuchs beside him hurriedly followed him, whispering to persuade King Wei to go back. It seemed that a fight was about to break out, and if King Wei was injured, ten of their heads would not be enough to chop off.
Wei Yin's voice was so soft that no one heard it, or rather, the Royal Guards didn't care much even if they heard it.
"Pass on my oral order and tell them to stop!" Wei Yin walked in a hurry and started coughing softly.
The situation on both sides was tense. The young eunuchs did not dare to shout loudly. They just surrounded the young Prince Wei, fearing that something might happen to him.
"Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me. Please get on the dragon sedan."
With a loud slap, Prince Wei hit a young eunuch in front of him on the face. He had no strength and not even a trace was left.
The young eunuch bowed his head and soon knelt down, bowing his head and saying, "Your Majesty, please calm down! Please take care of yourself and return to the dragon sedan."
The eunuchs knelt on the ground. They dared not to stop King Wei, nor did they dare to convey King Wei's oral instructions.
"Everyone, get up! Go and pass on... ahem... pass on my order. Call General Huo over here. I will promote you! You will get a reward of 100 taels!"
A small eunuch with a round face gritted his teeth, knelt down and said, "I will go! But I'm afraid that oral instructions will not work. I will carry you over!"
The young Prince Wei was overjoyed, climbed onto the young eunuch's back, and shouted, "Hurry up! Tell them to stop!"
The round-faced eunuch made up his mind and shouted, "Pass on His Majesty's order! The Imperial Guards step back! Summon General Huo to the audience!"
The other eunuchs also started shouting, and the sound spread out. The Regent couldn't ignore it, and Huo Xiao naturally heard it too.
"Captain Zheng, why don't you leave immediately? Do you want to disobey my order?"
While Captain Zheng was hesitating, the round-faced eunuch carrying the young Prince Wei on his back walked briskly to Huo Xiao. After walking just a few hundred meters, he broke out in a cold sweat. It was not because he was tired, as the Prince Wei was not that heavy. He was just simply scared.
If Prince Wei is caught by the Regent again today, he, the little eunuch, will have to wait for death. But if Prince Wei can suppress the Regent once, then he will have survived, and Prince Wei will definitely use him in the future.
The Royal Guards did not dare to actually hurt King Wei, nor did they dare to stop him. Who could have expected that King Wei was so bold? They were also caught off guard.
"Put me down!"
The round-faced eunuch quickly put the little Prince Wei down. Several eunuchs knelt on the ground to help Prince Wei tidy up his clothes, and then stood behind Prince Wei with their hands hanging down.
The Regent's eyes were murderous, and Wei Yin knew that he could not retreat. Huo Xiao was returning to the city, and this was his last chance.
"I am right here. General Huo did not do anything to me, which shows that he has no intention of treason. It must be someone who instigated this, causing my uncle to misunderstand."
"Why don't the Royal Guards retreat immediately!"
Captain Zheng had no choice but to retreat. If he didn't, it would be the Imperial Guards who had evil intentions.
Huo Xiao raised his hand, and the Huo family soldiers behind him put down their swords. He didn't have to fight today. If he could take Wangdu City without fighting, he didn't want to see blood so soon.
Young King Wei breathed a sigh of relief. His back was already soaked and sticking to his body, which was very uncomfortable.
"General Huo, you have worked hard on the journey. I am here to welcome you into the city. All the soldiers should come with you."
Huo Xiao dismounted from his horse, and the soldiers behind him also dismounted.
He took two steps forward, knelt on one knee in front of the young King Wei, and looked at him at eye level.
"Your Majesty, I, Huo Xiao, am here to see you. May your Majesty live in peace and prosperity. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and repelled the Northern Rong, defended Pingyang City, and recovered the land that was occupied by Qi and Lu. Your Majesty can rest assured."
Wei Yin almost shed tears. Long live Chang'an. He didn't even know if he could live to see his wedding day.
He opened his mouth, but his throat was blocked and he couldn't speak. He could only take a step forward and support Huo Xiao with his small hands.
