Chapter 644: Those Who Surrender Will Not Be Killed
The eunuch ran out of the palace and finally stood outside the Duke Anguo's mansion.
There were soldiers guarding the door, and the eunuch was stopped as soon as he stepped forward.
He took out the token and said, "I am here on the orders of the Queen Mother to ask the Duke of Anguo for a sample."
Seeing this, the guard retracted his sword and let the man in...
However, less than half an hour later, a deafening shout suddenly rang out from inside the Duke of Anguo's mansion. The next moment, Duke Anguo rushed out wearing armor and holding a spear, followed by Song Yanjun and a team of murderous guards.
The Western Jin soldiers outside were stunned and failed to recover immediately, so they were quickly subdued.
Isn't it said that the Queen is being held hostage by the Queen Mother and that Duke Anguo dares not act rashly?
What's going on?
Doesn't he care about Queen Song's life or death anymore?
Duke Anguo left a small group of people to watch over the foreign enemies, and mounted his horse with the remaining guards.
A burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from afar and headed straight for the imperial city.
At the same time, a brilliant firework rose into the sky and exploded with a bang.
Song Yanjun rode in the opposite direction, heading straight for the city gate.
"Where are the Jingwu guards?" A stern shout rang out, and as the words fell, a uniform response echoed throughout the sky.
"I am here."
The next moment, the people who had originally stood with the Beijing Camp Guards all stood behind Song Yanjun.
There are two major security forces in the capital, Jingyingwei and Jingwuwei.
Originally, Song Yanjun was imprisoned, and the Jingwu Guards were leaderless, so all of them were taken under the command of Chu Chengli. But suddenly, half of them turned against them, catching the Jingying Guard commander Yu Zheng off guard, and his face sank to the bottom.
"The Song family is plotting a rebellion. Don't be misled by Song Yanjun." Yu Zheng said gritting his teeth.
Song Yanjun sat astride his horse, looking majestic, his eyes like ink and cold stars. Hearing this, he sneered, "The thief is crying thief, who is plotting treason? I am following the emperor's order to arrest the rebels, and those who surrender will not be killed."
He just smiled lightly, but gave people invisible pressure.
Some people in the Beijing camp were whispering, obviously influenced by Song Yanjun's words.
Yu Zheng swept his cold eyes over the crowd and said in a deep voice: "What oral order? It's obvious that you are talking nonsense. If you have the guts, bring the imperial edict."
The imperial palace in the capital is under the control of the Second Prince tonight. It is impossible for Song Yanjun to see the Emperor. He is simply deceiving them. No one knows how Song Yanjun escaped.
However, at this moment, a loud noise was heard outside the city. Yu Zheng turned around and saw that the city gate that was originally closed was suddenly pushed open slowly by a huge log.
At a glance, there were huge crowds of soldiers outside the city. Yu Zheng was riding on a horse, and there were so many heads that it was impossible to see the end of them.
His heart suddenly shook and Yu Zheng was dumbfounded.
The leading general was very young, and he had met him not long ago.
It was the eldest son of the Wu'an Marquisate, He Zhiyi, and the person walking side by side with him was Fu Leng, who had made great contributions in resisting foreign enemies some time ago.
At this moment, He Zhiyi was holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and he instantly pulled the bow to its full length.
A black gold arrow shot through the air towards Yu Zheng and pierced his heart. The huge force knocked him off his horse and he fell heavily to the ground, lifeless.
"The second prince colluded with foreign enemies to force the emperor to abdicate and plot rebellion. The traitor Yu Zheng has been killed. Anyone who refuses to surrender will be killed without mercy." Fu Leng's cold voice echoed in the wind.
Faced with the sheer numbers and slaughter, the thousands of guards from the capital camp offered no resistance at all.
Everyone hesitated for only a moment before putting down their swords.
Soon a group of soldiers took the man aside and guarded him.
