He was still yelling at Lin Shuwen when he suddenly felt a sharp wind rushing into his throat.
Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his throat.
His wide-open mouth froze in an instant and couldn't close for a long time.
Lin Shuwen opened his eyes wide, first with disbelief, then with fear, and finally with reluctance...
Standing beside Lin Shuwen, holding the trumpet, Mr. Yu heard a "hiss" sound and a stream of blood instantly sprayed on his face.
Eunuch Yu was stunned and looked at the half-broken crossbow arrow sticking out of the back of Lin Shuwen's head in horror.
"Bang!"
Lin Shuwen fell heavily to the ground, and the crossbow arrow that pierced the back of his head was knocked back a little by the hard ground.
Lin Shuwen's body twitched a few times, and blood gushed out of his open mouth.
Those eyes that were still open in death frightened everyone at the city gate.
Are you sure Lin Shuwen is Lin Yiran’s father?
The action was a bit too quick and decisive.
The six ministers were so frightened by the precise arrows shot from the opposite side that they squatted on the ground.
Damn, if this arrow was aimed at them, they would not survive.
If they were not mistaken, the arrow was shot by the girl from the Lin family.
This girl is so cruel, she killed her father in public.
He is a ruthless person.
I can’t afford to offend you! I can’t afford to offend you!
"Protect...the emperor!! Protect the emperor quickly!" Eunuch Yu shouted at the top of his voice as he squatted down with the ministers.
If this arrow had hit Emperor Wu of Liang's head, even the immortals would not have been able to save him.
Emperor Wu of Liang was influenced by his ministers' actions and squatted down unconsciously.
After squatting halfway, he immediately reacted, bravely stood up, and winked at the secret guard.
The secret guards, who had already come to their senses, immediately took up their shields and stood beside Emperor Wu of Liang, surrounding him tightly.
Bai Hong's heavy eyes raised a hint of shock.
He also didn't expect that Lin Yiran would act so decisively. Without saying a word to Lin Shuwen, he just killed him directly.
The soldiers on both sides, who were originally noisy and cursing at each other, all shut up after seeing the terrifying arrow with their own eyes.
The scene of hundreds of thousands of people fighting suddenly became silent.
The soldiers confronting each other on the city gate tower shrank down unconsciously.
Everyone in the Heavenly God Army looked at Lin Yiran in shock.
The expressions of the Xiao family froze, with anger, shock, and surprise changing on everyone's faces.
General Xiao roared, "Well done, General Long, for putting justice before your own family."
Everyone came to their senses and echoed, "General Long is sacrificing his own family for the sake of justice!"
When Xiao Yunzhan saw Lin Yiran fire the first arrow of the war, he immediately raised his hand.
"Crossbowmen, take your positions!"
Rows of soldiers holding crossbows shouted in unison, with great momentum.
"The crossbowmen are in place."
Xiao Yunzhan held the imperial seal in his hand and pointed at the city gate. A resounding voice came over.
"Here is the Imperial Seal. This king has been appointed by Heaven to live a long and prosperous life. It was the Divine King who personally bestowed upon him the title of Emperor Yongchang. This battle is certain to be won!"
"If you still refuse to surrender and remain stubborn, you will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as the words fell, the hundreds of thousands of Heavenly God Army behind him saw the Imperial Seal in Xiao Yunzhan's hand, and excitedly shouted loudly, a majestic and resounding voice followed.
"Emperor Yongchang is appointed by Heaven. This battle will be won!"
"Emperor Yongchang is appointed by Heaven. This battle will be won!"
“…”
The soldiers defending the capital city were so frightened by the high morale of the Heavenly God Army that their faces turned pale.
They stared at the imperial seal in Xiao Yunzhan's hand with wide eyes.
This was the first time I saw the imperial seal so clearly. I could even see the dragon pattern carved on it from such a distance.
Bai Hong looked at the imperial seal in Xiao Yunzhan's hand, glanced at the disturbed military morale, and turned to look at Emperor Wu of Liang who was shocked.
Looking at Emperor Wu of Liang's expression, he guessed that the imperial seal in Xiao Yunzhan's hand should be real.
The Xiao family was so powerful that they actually managed to get the imperial seal.
"Your Majesty, how could the imperial seal be in the hands of the rebels?"
Emperor Wu of Liang suddenly looked up at Bai Hong, frowned, and tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart.
"The rebels just took something and claimed it was the imperial seal, just to deceive the refugees."
"The imperial seal is in my study. How could the rebels have it?"
He refused to admit it, so who could prove that the imperial seal in the hands of the rebels was real?
Bai Hong looked at Emperor Wu of Liang with suspicion.
"Then please, Your Majesty, take out the Imperial Seal and reassure the soldiers."
He saw the jade seal in Xiao Yunzhan's hand clearly, and it was real at first glance.
At this time, it was impossible for Xiao Yunzhan to produce a fake imperial seal.
Emperor Wu of Liang looked at General Bai in disbelief.
"Bai Hong!!!"
Emperor Wu of Liang's face darkened. "Are you doubting me?"
Either the military generals were tactless, or the civil officials did not dare to speak to the king like this in public.
Isn't this old fellow Bai Hong just relying on the fact that the capital needs him now?
"I dare not!"
Bai Hong was respectful in his behavior, but he continued to press forward slowly.
"But now the rebels have produced the imperial seal. If the emperor does not produce it, wouldn't that prove that the rebels have the real one?"
"If that's the case, then..."
Bai Hong's eyes swept across the faces of the people on the city gate tower, leaving everyone to figure out what he didn't say.
Ministry of Revenue Chai Yuanyu met Bai Hong's gaze, hesitated for a moment and spoke in a timely manner to persuade him,
"Your Majesty, General Bai is absolutely right. All we need to do now is to take out the Imperial Seal to crush the rebels' morale."
"What's fake is fake, it can't be real."
Xiang Qingye, the Minister of Works, glanced at Bai Hong and Chai Yuanyu, and his heart trembled, and he roughly understood what was going on.
He silently took two steps towards the corner tower to make sure he would not be affected.
Minister of War Wu Feng also followed suit and said,
"At the moment, the enemy outnumbers us, so using the Imperial Seal to disrupt their morale is indeed the most appropriate."
"The rebellious Emperor Yongchang used a fake imperial seal, and the military morale he had built up was shattered in an instant."
"How could the common people have so many brains? They only recognize the imperial seal. I guess those rebels were deceived by the Xiao family in this way."
Bai Hong looked at Wu Feng in surprise and sneered in his heart.
Idiot, do you really think that a royal seal can attract so many soldiers to follow you?
The imperial seal was only passed down to make Xiao Yunzhan's ascension to the throne more legitimate.
The main purpose was to shut up the officials and nobles in the capital. The people's mouths needed to be shut up with food and drink.
Of the six ministers, two expressed their opinions, while the other four frowned and drooped their eyelids, looking as if they were still thinking.
It is true that taking out the imperial seal can intimidate the rebels, which is better than letting a river of blood flow on the city gate tower.
They had just seen how far the rebels' crossbows could shoot.
Their crossbows could not reach such a level. If the two sides shot at each other, the only ones who would die would be the soldiers defending the capital.
