Chapter 828 Impersonation
A cold wind howled, and heavy snow fell.
The majestic and magnificent imperial city was soon covered with a thin layer of white snow, exuding a bone-chilling cold.
However, the hearts of the rebels were burning with passion.
Their iron hooves thundered, their fighting spirit soaring, eager to storm the imperial city and revel in the riches and glory that everyone in the world desires!
A man wearing a silver mask rode up on horseback and finally stopped in front of the imperial city gate.
The wind lifted a corner of his black brocade robe embroidered with a four-clawed golden dragon, making him appear extremely noble.
He raised his palm, and the rebels behind him immediately stopped in their tracks, their eyes still burning with fervor as they all looked ahead!
A bright yellow figure suddenly appeared on the city gate!
Xiao Chengqi stood with one hand behind his back, his gaze cold and fixed on the rebel army below the city gate.
The man wearing the silver mask was quite surprised by his appearance and spoke first with a light laugh.
"I didn't expect you to be so sensible. Is your coming out of the city to greet me a sign that you intend to abdicate and hand over the throne to a more worthy successor?"
These words are frivolous, presumptuous, and extremely offensive!
Xiao Chengqi, however, was not angry. Instead, he laughed heartily and said loudly,
"Your Majesty has returned; I shall personally lead the way!"
In an instant, all other sounds disappeared, and it seemed that only the howling north wind remained between heaven and earth.
The man wearing the silver mask narrowed his eyes. "Who is your imperial brother?"
Xiao Chengqi raised an eyebrow. "Others may not recognize me, but I grew up with you since childhood. Even if you were reduced to ashes, I would still recognize you at a glance, let alone wearing a mask!"
As he spoke, his gaze swept over the rebels below.
"What, don't they all know who you are?"
The rebel ranks were silent.
Flags embroidered with the characters "Great Zhou" fluttered in the wind.
Xiao Chengqi raised his voice and continued, "In front of so many people, why don't you take off your mask and let everyone see clearly? Surely you're not afraid?"
The provocation in those words was obvious to everyone.
But quite a few people still cast curious glances at that person.
Having followed His Highness for so long, most of them had indeed never seen what he looked like, and it would be a lie to say they weren't curious.
Besides, at this point, there seems to be no need to continue hiding it.
The man wearing the silver mask suddenly let out a short, mocking laugh.
"The one who shouldn't be here is you, right? You think that by using these methods to delay things for a while, someone will come to save you? Don't dream about it."
He has already breached the east gate, and it's only a matter of time before the west gate falls!
but……
"Since you want to see it so much, I'll grant your wish, so you won't be at the hands of someone when you go to the underworld."
As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand and removed the silver mask.
Snow and wind swept across the sky.
A young and beautiful face came into view!
Several gasps of astonishment came from the crowd.
"That! Isn't that His Highness Prince Jing?! How did he become the leader of the rebels?!"
"Could it just be a resemblance? Wasn't Prince Jing imprisoned before? How did he become the former crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty again?!"
"That's him! The rebel leader who wanted to restore the Great Zhou Dynasty is none other than the former Prince Jing!"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Even the rebel forces were stirred up.
"Prince Jing? How could His Highness the Crown Prince be Prince Jing?"
"That can't be, right?"
"How could it be impossible? How could His Highness the Crown Prince's identity be fake!"
Xiao Chengqi looked at that face, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips, and spoke, word by word.
"Fourth brother, you are clearly a member of the Xiao family, why are you impersonating the former crown prince?"
