Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty Seven: Foreshadowing
"Marty, what should I do if the situation is wrong?"
At this time, not only Xiao Feng, but others also found something wrong. The soldiers on the city were densely packed, far exceeding the number of defenders before leaving the city. Moreover, the color of the armor was very different from the color of the equipment of the Great Wei Imperial Army. You can tell at a glance that it was not the one they left behind.
Xiao Feng sat on the horse's back and looked at the direction of the city gate from afar, pressing his five fingers tightly on his sword without saying a word.
Judging from the situation on the city wall, something he didn't know must have happened in the city, but he just didn't know what was going on in the palace.
After a little silence, he spoke: "Send someone to shout the door!"
"yes!"
Immediately, a team of cavalry left the large army and rode their horses in front.
The cavalry captain led the team tied his horse's head in a safe area two hundred meters away from the city gate and shouted to the top: "The Marquis is back, open the city gate quickly!"
"Wait!"
After replying above, there was no further information. This negligent behavior made the cavalry captain below very angry. They shouted under the city for a while and found that there was no movement on the city wall, so they could only hold their breath and leave a few people waiting here, and go back to report themselves first.
After half an hour, a white-faced man with a eunuch-like appearance slowly appeared at the city gate and shouted loudly to the people left behind: "According to the order of the Empress, the army will be stationed outside the city, and the south of the Zhunzhen Hou will enter the city alone!"
Xiao Feng and others were already full of anger when they were waiting, but now they got the news and were immediately angry.
The generals surrounding Xiao Feng looked indignant and said bluntly that they wanted to invade the city.
"Okay, stop arguing!"
Xiao Feng showed impatient face. The most important thing now is to figure out the situation inside. He thought about it carefully and finally decided to enter the city to explore.
However, before entering the city, he also needed to make some backup plans. He asked his personal soldiers to take his seal and hand it to a heroic young man beside him, "Xiao Wu, this is my seal. You can take it. If there is no news after an hour, you can take these troops to the south, and then mobilize a million troops to return north to rescue this marquis and the queen."
Xiao Wu was stunned at first, and then bowed and persuaded: "Mr. Marquis think twice, this may be a trap. You can't enter the city alone. Why don't we kill us?"
"General Xiao Wu is right, let's kill you in!"
"Yes! Kill in!"
······
"alright."
Xiao Feng glared and pressed the general's seal on Xiao Wu's chest. "You will first lead the army to station outside the city. I don't need to say more about my intentions."
Xiao Wu's mouth moved and wanted to say something, but after seeing the cold face of his marquis, he did not dare to persuade him again and said, "Yes!"
After the arrangement was made, Xiao Feng rode his horse towards the city gate alone. The closed city gate slowly opened and stopped halfway.
"Click!Click!Click......"
A team of black-armored soldiers came out from inside and formed a defensive formation behind Xiao Feng. The army outside the embankment sent cavalry to raid the city gate.
Xiao Feng rode slowly towards the city on his horse. Although he did not look squinting, the light of his eyes was also secretly observing the soldiers from inside.
The first impression is that these soldiers are tall and are definitely not comparable to ordinary young and strong. The second is that the other party’s equipment is very well-equipped. As a veteran who has been in a military life, he recognized the other party’s leather armor at a glance as high-quality rhino leather. The armor on it is stronger in terms of density and thickness than the armor of Wei. It is absolutely a lot of money to add such a piece of armor.
After reading the physique and equipment, the final result is military appearance and momentum, which is very important.
Xiao Feng led his troops to abide by the iron rule of "Precautions and prohibitions, invasions and plunders are like fire, and not moving like mountains!"
Although the number of soldiers coming out of the city was only hundreds, they were neat and calm, as if they were one. Especially after forming a military formation, they felt like a hard-to-surpassed iron wall.
"Who brought such elite?"
With this question, Xiao Feng came to the palace all the time. At this time, the discussions in Fengtian Palace just ended. When the departed ministers met Xiao Feng, they greeted each other with smiles. This scene made Xiao Feng feel even more and more unpleasant, and he came directly to Fengtai Palace.
"Greetings to the Marquis!"
The soldiers stationed in Fengtai Palace saw Xiao Feng and immediately saluted loudly, with a look of relief on their faces.
"Get up!"
Xiao Feng waved his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. The black armored soldiers he met just now in the palace made him really worried for a while.
Under the leadership of a eunuch, Xiao Feng soon met the queen Xiao Feng.
After some detailed discussions between the two, Xiao Feng finally had some understanding of Xu Jing's situation.
"Wanyan He is actually hiding so deeply. We are not unfair to lose this time."
Xiao Feng sighed deeply. After entering the city, he had thought of many people, but he didn't expect that it would be Wanyan He, the powerless prince.
"Just just now, Wanyan He brought the royal family and officials into the palace to discuss the candidates for the throne with this palace. I can't stop it. The throne ceremony tomorrow will continue."
Xiao Xu was a little excited. After planning for so long, he was picked up by someone in the end. This feeling was not good.
"Now under the control of Wanyanhe, the royal family and Yelu Yan's ministers all support him in ascending the throne. We have no chance. However, Wanyanhe's foundation in the court is very weak. Even if he ascends the throne, it is impossible to hold the throne firmly in a short period of time. We can do something while this time."
Since Wanyan He ascended the throne and became the emperor, Xiao Feng had to change his strategy and compete for more power while his foundation was unstable. In this way, even Wanyan He wanted to deal with their Xiao family in the future.
"What do you want to do?"
Xiao Xu naturally supported his younger brother as much as possible.
"The Great Wei established a country with martial law, and military power is particularly important. While I still hold the military and political power in the south, I will arrange for the Xiao family's children to join the army as much as possible..."
Just as Xiao Feng was conspiring to plan for the future, Wanyan He also returned to the mansion with joy and told Liu Feng about his ascension to the throne tomorrow.
"Brother Liu, you must appear tomorrow. I have someone leave a good place for you!"
"Don't, it's better not to expose my identity, and I'll leave after you ascend the throne."
Naturally, Liu Feng could not go to watch the ceremony. One reason was that he did not want to be exposed. Another reason was that he would definitely kneel down to worship the new emperor. Should he kneel or not?
"Why are Brother Liu so anxious to leave?"
