"Well, let Kunan find some good hands and use hidden weapons to cut the ropes. Then all the children will be ours. Let's see if they can still smile then!"
The two men agreed on a strategy, and Yan Zhuo would lure King Yu into going crazy.
In fact, there is no need at all.
King Yu had the patience to play with each child one by one, but Yuan Shuo did not and advised King Yu to quickly put all the children together so that he would not be afraid of the emperor going crazy.
The first round all used thick ropes, and everyone was still preparing, worried that the eldest prince's rope would not hold up, because his was indeed the biggest and heaviest.
The Queen, Concubine Ruan and the Imperial Noble Concubine were being held hostage upstairs. The Queen was fine, her brows were gloomy, and she suppressed her hatred for King Yu, but she did not cry.
The other two, Concubine Ruan and Imperial Noble Concubine, cried so bitterly!
Especially since the second princess and the third prince were still so young, once the rope was tightened, it felt like it was going to break the waists of the two babies.
The Imperial Concubine struggled, cursing at King Yu, "Yan Shang, you shall not die a good death! You and his father fought for the throne, that's your business, why bother to implicate the child!"
Of course, this didn't help.
If King Yu was afraid of being scolded, he would not have done such a thing as killing his brother and usurping the throne.
As the first round was coming to an end, the emperor showed no reaction at all, and King Yu's patience wore thin.
"Brother Emperor, I will give you one last chance. If you still refuse to change, don't blame me for being ruthless later."
"All officers and men, listen to my orders! If he still refuses to sign the abdication edict, kill the Empress and the others. Attack them and kill them without mercy!"
"Yes!" The response was deafening.
King Yu anticipated that the emperor was short of manpower and became very arrogant.
At a glance, Jiang Ying and his men had at most 10,000 soldiers and horses.
I guess it took a lot of hard work to get it together.
Their team included the Imperial Guards, the Royal Guards, and even the guards of Jingshan Villa.
A mob, not worth mentioning.
A few thin ropes, swaying erratically, suddenly lowered the children down together...
Just when King Yu was feeling smug and about to ridicule and mock, he saw four ghostly silver-clad secret guards carrying some square object. In the blink of an eye, they flew to the bottom of the city wall as light as a swallow.
At the same time, Kunan's dart flew through the air and cut the rope around the eldest prince's waist without missing a beat!
Four silver-clad secret guards, carrying an air mattress, caught the person steadily below...
This scene happened in just a moment, and by the time the people on the city wall reacted, three children had already been rescued!
At this time, King Yu and Yuan Shuo realized that something was wrong and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Stop!"
But it's too late.
Yan Zhuo and Kunan fired two final darts together. Fearing that the Mo Jiwei brothers who were carrying the air mattress would not be able to catch up in time, they flew out and caught the light-weight Third Prince and Second Princess first.
One for each person, and everyone returns safely.
Even from a distance, Jiang Ying seemed to see the sullen faces of King Yu and Yuan Shuo on the city wall.
The latter frowned and said something to King Yu, who then waved his sleeves and stood to the other side.
It can be seen that there is an internal conflict.
But King Yu soon regained his spirits, and his voice was much weaker than before.
"Royal brother, do you think that if you save the child, I will be able to do nothing to you? What about your women? Don't worry about it?"
At his command, several soldiers brought the Queen, Concubine Ruan and the Imperial Noble Concubine to him.
"Royal brother, adults are not like children. It's not that easy to catch them."
Obviously, since the children could not threaten the emperor, he would use concubines.
King Yu even had the Queen Mother brought up and said pitifully, "Mother, just cooperate with your son and put on a show. As long as my brother is willing to abdicate, you will still be the respected Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother felt dizzy before her eyes and felt unwell before the large army set out for the hunt.
It’s not healed yet.
However, King Yu ignored all this. As the autumn wind grew colder, he pressed the Queen Mother against the city wall.
The Queen Mother felt a chill in her heart, "What if he doesn't want to?"
"Don't want to?" King Yu seemed stunned for a moment, then laughed wildly, "Haha, why not? My royal brother values filial piety the most. He won't have the heart to watch you, the Queen Mother, die.
Besides, he can't just watch you die. If he does, the historians won't let him off the hook, and he, as the emperor, will be infamous for eternity!"
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "We're both emperors, aren't you afraid of being infamous for eternity?"
King Yu raised his neck and said, "Of course I'm not afraid!"
Anyway, the reputation of being a murderer is no better than being infamous for eternity.
The Queen Mother suddenly looked straight ahead silently, her eyes narrowed into a line.
She seemed to want to take another closer look at the emperor, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see him clearly.
So, he had to look away and sighed, "It was my fault..."
Prince Yu, "What did your mother say? Stop wasting time. As long as you speak, I believe that my brother will stop resisting."
The Queen Mother closed her eyes. "Since you're not afraid of anything, why do you need an abdication edict? You have so many troops and have already taken the capital. Are you still afraid that you can't defeat your brother's ragtag group? The winner is king and the loser is a bandit. Why should you give in to others? Shang'er, your mother has taught you since you were a child that those who want to achieve great things must be ruthless. You are ruthless, but unfortunately, your decisiveness is still a little lacking."
When King Yu heard the Queen Mother say he was "bad", he gritted his teeth and was filled with unprecedented anger.
"Then Queen Mother, please watch carefully as your son uses his own abilities and strategies to legitimately seize the throne!"
"Soldiers, listen to my orders. Open the city gates and kill—"
