Xuan Tianye had not expected such a change. The feeling of being suddenly deserted by everyone was too much for him to bear. The hand that was originally securing the wheelchair slipped, and the wheelchair slid backwards for a while, but no one caught it from behind.
After all, he was Xuan Tianye. When no one took the wheelchair and 20,000 soldiers suddenly changed sides, he suddenly realized a key problem and a key person. He turned back to look for the staff member who had been with him for ten years, but there was no one there. Even the people who were knocking on the gate had stopped. The wooden stakes were thrown in place, and one by one, they were holding weapons and looking at him like cheetahs hunting.
Xuan Tianye realized that it was time for him to start being afraid. This fear was different from the previous worry. Worry was always speculation. As long as there was no conclusion, there was still a chance. But the fear now was that the coffin had been sealed and there would be no turning back.
Yes, there was no turning point. He knew his ninth brother too well. Xuan Tianming never did anything without confidence. As long as he was determined, it would succeed. He had been hoarding these 20,000 soldiers for three whole years, spending countless money bit by bit. He was just waiting to use them, but he didn't expect that these soldiers would no longer belong to him before they were used.
Xuan Tianye was unwilling to accept this, and raised his head and asked fiercely: "When did you bribe my soldiers?"
Xuan Tianming sneered disdainfully, "Bribe? How much silver would it cost to bribe so many people? Our Heng Heng said that money that shouldn't be spent should not be spent, so this king didn't bribe your soldiers. These were exchanged!" He laughed even more evilly, "Bu Cong exchanged the officers and soldiers who patrolled the capital, and this king felt that it was really meaningless. If we want to play, let's play something big, so this king exchanged your 20,000 troops. Third brother, this king has to thank you for using your food and wages to feed my soldiers for so many years. It's really hard work!"
Xuan Tianye's face turned pale. He understood Xuan Tianming's words almost immediately. It turned out that these soldiers were no longer the ones he recruited in the beginning. In the past few years, he was recruiting while they were replacing each other. In the end, there was not a single one left.
No, not all of them were left. He recognized those commanders, who were old men. But he also understood that the soldiers were exchanged, and the commanders were indeed bribed. Xuan Tianming only needed to bribe a dozen people to achieve the purpose of exchanging the 20,000 soldiers. And he himself, for so many years, was still trying to find ways to make money to support them, from Ganzhou to the capital, but he actually raised a group of ungrateful wolves!
The more he thought about it, the more disappointed he became. The soldiers in the capital had been replaced, so what would be left in Ganzhou? No wonder Xuan Tianming was so fearless. It turned out that he was not afraid at all. He even hoped that he could make more trouble. It was all for nothing anyway.
Xuan Tianye thought about it for a while, and it was all a dead end. In an instant, a dead look appeared on his face, which became stronger and stronger. Coupled with the anger emanating from his body, he looked like a zombie, which made people shudder.
Suddenly, he jumped up from the wheelchair, holding a long sword, and stabbed the tip of the sword straight into Xuan Tianming's throat.
In the back, Wang Zhuo screamed, "Your Highness, be careful!"
But Xuan Tianming did not move at all. He leisurely watched the man's dying struggle and counted silently in his heart: one, two, three...
From the third number on, the man who had jumped into the air suddenly fell down. The sword was still in his hand, but he could not control his body from falling. He was like a boneless fish, with his legs drooping, his waist dislocated, and even his spine and back bones breaking with a few crackling sounds.
Xuan Tianye felt as if he was suddenly shattered, and the bones in his body were scattered all over, completely out of his control. The moment he fell to the ground, he even had difficulty raising his head.
In an instant, he suddenly realized that the damage Feng Yuheng had caused him was much more serious than he had imagined. He also realized that Feng Yuheng had taken the initiative to treat his injuries, not just to allow him to appear in a wheelchair at the wedding ceremony with Feng Chenyu. She treated his injuries for this moment, so that he would seem to be able to move, but as long as he exerted force, impacted, and attacked, his bones would fall apart and he would be like mud.
Xuan Tianye had always believed that he was the most rational, the most calculating, the most patient, the most dignified and ambitious of all the princes. But at this moment, all the confidence he had built up in the first half of his life had collapsed along with these broken bones.
What ambitions did he have? In the end, he was no match for a little girl in her early teens. He could not beat her in a fight! He could not outsmart her in a scheme! After several rounds of fighting, he not only lost money, but also suffered a lot.
Despair and death gradually appeared in his eyes. He stared at Xuan Tianming unwillingly, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He could not stand up, nor move, but he still had his tongue, and his mouth could still speak. He could continue to attack the other party with the most vicious language that no man could accept.
He suddenly laughed out loud, staring at Xuan Tianming and saying in a curse--"The Ninth Prince of Dashun? Ninth Master? Prince Yu? Hahaha! He's nothing but a coward who relies on women! It's your woman who keeps trying to please your father, curing illnesses and saving lives, making steel, and saving lives from floods. What about you? You just stand behind her and take advantage of her. Old Nine, Old Nine! Are you still a man?"
Xuan Tianye thought that a man could not stand such a personal attack on the other party with such unbearable words, not to mention that the other party was the most arrogant and willful Ninth Prince! In his memory, if the Ninth Prince said that he relied on Tianwu and Yunfei, he would turn against him on the spot. He still remembered that when the boy was ten years old, he lost control and punched out the fourth prince's front teeth just because the fourth prince said, "If it weren't for your father who was bullying your mother, how could you be so majestic." Today, he humiliated him for not being a man, and he was willing to be beaten or even beaten to death. He just wanted to see Xuan Tianming lose control and be furious.
Thinking of this, the anger and expectation in Xuan Tianye's eyes became even stronger. He was waiting, waiting to see Xuan Tianming fly into a rage, waiting to see him lose face in front of so many people.
He waited and waited for a long time, but he saw that the man who had been sitting on the horse and had never dismounted suddenly burst into laughter. He was not as furious and out of control as he had imagined, and even that kind of laughter was genuine, not cold. Finally, the laughter stopped, and he heard Xuan Tianming say: "Thank you for the compliment, Third Brother. It is not easy for our Heng Heng's ability to be recognized by Third Brother! I have to thank Third Brother on my own behalf. I understand what you mean. Such a powerful woman can be willing to be my princess. This is my ability."
Xuan Tianye was stunned, looking at the person in front of him in disbelief, as if he didn't know him. Is this still Lao Jiu? Why did he curse at him like that, but this person still opened his mouth to express gratitude? But thinking about it again, yes, no matter how powerful Feng Yuheng is, he is willing to follow him. This is Xuan Tianming's greatest ability. What on earth is he scolding him for?
Xuan Tianye lowered his eyes in defeat, his neck could no longer be lifted up, and he could not exert any strength in his body. Xuan Tianming finally got off the horse, but he did not look at him. He just hurried past him and said, "Carry this man and throw him to the mountain prison in the palace. Wang Zhuo will follow me into the palace, and everyone else, stay where you are and wait."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone came forward and lifted Xuan Tianye up. The gate that he had dreamed of breaking open was finally opened, but he could never reach that dream again.
Xuan Tianming entered the palace. Outside the palace, all the secret guards, led by Bai Ze, were stationed with 20,000 troops, waiting for Xuan Tianming to enter the palace before giving orders.
The Duanmen Gate opened and closed, and the palace and the outside world were two different worlds. Wang Zhuo dragged his injured leg and followed Xuan Tianming, watching everything in the palace as usual and in order. Suddenly, he felt a little dazed, as if the turmoil outside had not affected the palace at all. All the imperial guards were stationed and patrolling as usual, and occasionally you could see the eunuchs and palace maids on night watch wandering around. There was also a little girl carrying a food tray passing by, saluted to Xuan Tianming, and said, "Empress Hua suddenly wanted to drink pigeon soup, and I just asked the kitchen to make it." The soup in the earthenware pot was stewed fragrantly, and Wang Zhuo was hungry from the smell.
Xuan Tianming waved his hand to let the girl leave, and took Wang Zhuo to Zhaohe Hall.
After Wang Zhuo was promoted, he often went to the palace, but he mostly went to Qiankun Hall. Zhaohe Hall was Tianwu's bedroom, and ordinary people could not go there. There was a riot tonight. He originally thought that after entering the palace, he would help Xuan Tianming command the imperial guards in the palace to protect the emperor with all their strength, and then rush to the various palaces to arrest all those who were related to the third and fourth princes and wait for their fate. This is what turmoil and even palace coup should look like.
But once he entered the palace, the peaceful and tranquil scene almost broke all his previous perceptions. The more he walked towards Zhaohe Hall, the more he suspected that everything outside the palace was just a dream. But when he looked at his injured leg and felt the pain from the injury when he walked, the sense of reality came back.
He wondered, are the people in the palace too careless? With such a commotion outside, why are they still doing what they should do as if nothing happened? Or maybe the palace didn't hear the noise outside? No way, the Duanmen Gate was almost broken, such a loud noise would revive the dead, let alone those who were asleep.
He asked absentmindedly, "Your Highness, is the Emperor okay?"
Xuan Tianming shrugged, "What could be wrong with him? He's either dreaming or eating."
As they were talking, the two had already walked to the main hall door of Zhaohe Hall. When the palace guards outside the door saw Xuan Tianming, they quickly knelt down to salute. Xuan Tianming waved his hand and asked, "Is the emperor asleep?"
Before the palace servant could reply, Zhang Yuan suddenly shouted helplessly, "Your Majesty! You are out of tune again!"
Xuan Tianming's face darkened. Damn, I guessed wrong.
