"Why are you so flustered?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice, with a hint of displeasure between his brows.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers from the Firearms Battalion and the Princess Protectorate's Residence have suddenly been mobilized on a large scale and are heading towards Chang'an City."
The guard reported quickly, a hint of nervousness in his tone.
Li Shimin put down the memorial in his hand and looked solemn.
The simultaneous actions of the Firearms Battalion and the Princess Guardian's Mansion undoubtedly indicated an unusual situation.
Apart from myself, the only one who can mobilize them is Xiao Sizi.
Li Shimin felt a little uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.
"Why were they transferred?" he asked, trying to find out the reason behind it.
"The specific reason is still unclear." The guard shook his head.
"But from what I've observed, they look stern and move quickly, it seems... it seems..."
Li Shimin frowned, and the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
He was about to order someone to find out the reason when suddenly another guard rushed in.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened!" the guard said with a pale face and a trembling voice.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Changle and Her Royal Highness Princess Huguo were attacked in Ziyun Valley. Fortunately, Princess Huguo commanded the Firearms Battalion to attack in time and repelled the attackers."
"What?!" Li Shimin stood up suddenly, his face instantly becoming gloomy and terrifying.
His daughters, Princess Changle and Princess Huguo of the Tang Dynasty were actually attacked in the suburbs. This was a slap in his face!
"Who is so bold as to attack my Tang Princess?!"
Li Shimin roared, his voice echoing in Ganlu Hall, full of anger and majesty.
"The identity of the attackers is still unknown," the guard replied in a trembling voice, "but the attackers wore many family emblems.
Her Royal Highness has decisively ordered the Firearms Battalion and the Guardian Princess's Residence to enter the city, arrest the family members involved, and immediately seal off all their assets to prevent any further disturbances."
Hearing this, Li Shimin instantly understood that the badges dropped at the scene were deliberately framed by the families who took action.
But since they were there at the attack site, it gave him a reason to touch them.
As long as we can detain these families, why worry about not being able to find out the real mastermind behind this? ! !
Li Shimin sneered, "These families are really clever, thinking they can divert attention in this way. Humph, they made a wrong calculation."
"Pass the order!" he shouted, "Have the Jinwu Guards cooperate with the Firearm Battalion and the Princess Guard's Palace. Martial law will be imposed throughout the city.
At the same time, send the Bad Guys to secretly investigate the attacker's true identity and the forces behind it. I want them to know the consequences of attacking the Tang Princess!
With Li Shimin's order, the city of Chang'an suddenly became boiling.
The Jinwu Guards, the Firearm Battalion and the guards of the Princess Huguo's Mansion were like unsheathed swords, sharp and powerful, and they quickly took action in every corner of the city.
The soldiers of the Firearms Battalion, dressed in bright armor and holding sophisticated firearms, marched in neat rows through the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.
Their steps were firm and powerful, and their eyes revealed a murderous intent, as if they wanted to devour all the enemies.
"Firearm Battalion, listen to my orders!" The commander of the Firearm Battalion raised the command flag in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Here!" The soldiers of the Firearms Battalion responded in unison, their voices shaking the sky.
They were dressed in bright armor, holding sophisticated firearms, lined up in neat rows, with determined eyes, like a group of tigers coming down the mountain.
"Act according to the plan and surround the residence of the family involved. There must be no mistakes!" The commander gave the order again.
"Yes, sir!" the soldiers answered in unison, then quickly dispersed and took action in tacit understanding.
Some people sealed off the family's mansion to ensure that no one escaped;
Another group of people rushed into the mansion, arresting those involved in the case while carefully searching every corner.
Faced with this sudden change, most family members were stunned.
They had never seen such a strange and powerful weapon, and they were captured without knowing what had happened.
Among these besieged families, some were indeed involved in the conspiracy to attack the little princess.
When they saw soldiers armed with strange firearms suddenly rushing in, they suddenly felt an ominous premonition in their hearts.
"What's going on? Who are they?" a family elder asked nervously.
"Could it be someone from the imperial court? Has our secret been exposed?" another conspirator responded in horror.
"Then what should we do?" asked the family elder.
"What else can we do? Of course we should ask the assassins in the mansion to cover us and we can escape in the chaos!" The conspirator said anxiously with his eyes flashing.
The family elder paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, quickly! Send the assassins forward, and we'll take this opportunity to leave through the back door!"
However, their plans quickly fell through.
The soldiers of the Firearms Battalion did not panic at all in the face of resistance.
They acted swiftly and decisively, and the roar of muskets echoed throughout the city of Chang'an.
Every shot struck fear into the hearts of the rebels, and many assassins and guards fell under the power of the muskets.
"Don't let anyone go!" the commander of the firearms battalion ordered loudly.
The soldiers quickly surrounded the key personnel who tried to escape from the city during the chaos.
Before they could even step out of the mansion, they were subdued one by one by the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" a subdued family member struggled and shouted.
"Hmph, your family is suspected of attacking the Princess Protector of the Nation. What else is there to say?" a soldier responded coldly.
Under the thundering action of the Firearms Battalion, those family members who attempted to resist or escape were captured one after another.
There was a solemn and murderous atmosphere in Chang'an City, and the air was filled with tension and fear.
At this time, the bad guys were also acting quietly in the dark.
They were dressed in plain clothes, like ghosts in the night, moving through every corner of the city, searching for any trace of the attackers.
The soldiers of the Jinwu Guard were wearing heavy armor and holding spears, patrolling the streets majestically.
When they encounter suspicious people, they will not show any mercy and will immediately approach and question them.
If anyone resists, the Jinwu Guards will capture them without hesitation and send them to prison.
The entire Chang'an city was plunged into a tense and orderly atmosphere.
The sound of soldiers' footsteps, the clashing of armor, and the occasional sound of firearms intertwined together to form a magnificent symphony.
Such a solemn and murderous atmosphere naturally alarmed the people and merchants in Chang'an City.
At first, they were frightened by this sudden change and thought that something big had happened in Chang'an City again.
At the same time, some well-informed people began to secretly pass on news about the incident.
They whispered to each other, wondering what secret was hidden behind this.
Some said that there was a coup within the court, some said that it was an invasion by foreign enemies, and some said that a large family was attempting a rebellion.
