When the guards were shocked and their faces were even pale when they heard Xie Yanlai say this, they did not object.
If Xie Yan hadn't come, they would have turned into corpses at this moment.
The incident happened very suddenly. They were handing over the city gate. Facing the oncoming guards, they were about to walk forward as they were used to, Xie Yan suddenly stopped them.
"Who is the foreman today?" Xie Yanlai asked.
The guards over there were obviously stunned, and then scolded, "What are you doing if you ask so much!"
After they finished speaking, Xie Yan came and shouted, "The thief will die!"
With this sentence, my hand was pressed on the long knife.
The guards were shocked, what did Xie Yan do for?
There are often people who don’t quarrel with others in daily life, especially in the past few days, although they looked down on Xie Yanlai and were worried that he was a child of the Xie family. Everyone was polite on the surface, but since Xie Yanlai was beaten by his home in the street, everyone looked at him without any concealment.
Even sneered in front of him.
Xie Yan's injury was not healed, and the person was still fighting. He pushed and shoved people almost every day in the past two days.
But it is different to use a knife. This is a life-threatening death for the villagers in the Hanjun Mountain Village. The Xie family can be unharmed, but if the imperial guards are killed in the imperial city, it will not be possible for the Xie family parents to beat and scold them.
Although they didn't like Xie Yan coming very much, everyone was in trouble after death. The guards rushed forward to hold Xie Yan coming. Before they could reach out, they saw the guards coming to hand over the handover ringing and all pulled out their knives.
The guards were stunned, why didn’t they? Why were everyone impulsive tonight? Before Xie Yanlai drew his sword, the other party had already pulled it out?
Is this also a desperate effort?
This side was stunned, and the guards over there seemed to be stunned, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.
"You--" The guards around Xie Yanlai also felt something was wrong, so they did not go forward, but asked.
But before he could finish his words, the guards on the opposite side knew that they were exposed, so they simply stopped pretending.
"Kill them." The leader shouted.
The fight began like this.
The casualties were still very heavy, and it seemed that in the blink of an eye, half of the guards became enemies.
Because of Xie Yan's blocking and bluffing, they exposed the other party in advance, and got the opportunity to retreat and warn, and finally successfully retreated back to the city tower.
Standing on the high city tower, you can see that the capital city is in a fight, and there are fires everywhere.
What's going on? Why did it happen suddenly?
"Crown Prince, is there really something wrong?" a guard murmured.
During the previous fight, the other party shouted a lot of terrible words, such as the prince died, the Yang family Xie rebelled, the third prince punished the evil, protected the enemy, and immediately surrendered, otherwise they were all plotting against the enemy.
The messy words behind them were all in the capital, so it would be fine to listen to them, but the most important thing was that the prince died in front of them.
There was a tide between the prince and the third prince. Everyone knew it, but I never thought that the third prince would really take action and the prince would really die.
Everyone looked a little confused.
"I don't know." Xie Yan said, looking at the people around him, "Do you want to surrender now?"
If the prince dies, then the third prince will be left. In the future, the third prince will be-
The guards looked a little complicated.
"If I kill me, Xie's son, can you still be a credit." Xie Yanlai continued, patrolling his eyes.
Under the torch, the young man wearing blood and holding a knife in his hand was horrifying. Seeing his gaze, everyone couldn't help but avoid it.
Not that no one thought this before, but someone did this. While Xie Yan came to fight, he felt the back and wanted to attack him, but Xie Yan came to kill him back.
Once, twice, three times, no one dared to do this.
I had known before that the Xie family was tyrannical and fierce, but today I really realized how fierce it was.
"I advise everyone not to do this." Xie Yan said, "First is that I don't want to die, so it's not that easy to kill me. Moreover, if you kill me, you won't have a good end."
There was no good ending? The guards raised their heads again and looked at each other, a little puzzled.
The young man jumped onto the wall, turned his back to everyone, and turned his knife in his hand.
"Don't forget, everyone's identity is an imperial guard, who is guarding the imperial palace for His Majesty. The emperor did not say anything. If you voted for others and led people into the city, what good end could you have?" He said, turning his head slightly to look at everyone, and the torch shone down his phoenix eyes and sneered, "The emperor will not spare you, and the future lord will not use people like you."
Everyone's expressions changed. They were all the guards closest to the imperial power, and of course they knew the nature of the superiors best.
"Yan said it is right!" An imperial guard stood up and said loudly, "We are the imperial guards of the imperial city, and our duty is to guard the imperial city. No matter who it is, even if the prince dares to bring troops to invade, they are rebels. Without His Majesty's order, we will swear to guard the imperial city to death."
As he shouted, more guards stood up and agreed.
"Yan said it was right." "Don't think about letting Yan die, think about who told us to die."
For a momentum, he looked at the young man holding a knife standing on the wall.
"Yan comes, we all listen to you."
Xie Yanlai ignored the noise behind him, held a knife and looked outside the city wall, and said, "Don't listen to me, everyone is enough to do their duty. As for the result, do their best to do their best and let them go."
The guard who had been calling out before waved his hand: "Do your duty and responsibility, even if you die, you will not harm your family. You will all spread out and guard the city wall."
The guards responded in unison and dispersed without hesitation.
Only the guards were left here, and they called Xie Yan again.
"Yanlai, don't worry. Now that things are happening, everyone is working hard, and no one will think about exchanging you for credit."
Someone else said fiercely: "Who dares to do this? I am the first to kill him. I am the one who killed my life. Yan came to save you. If you hadn't been stabbed for me, I would have seen the King of Hell now."
Xie Yanlai was still not excited about this kind of expression of his feelings and said lightly: "I have worked hard until now, so I have to endure the result."
Several people nodded, and one of them said again: "Yan came, the news just now said that there seemed to be a group of people coming out of the inner palace."
Xie Yan looked towards the inner palace, and it seemed that the lights were swaying, and it seemed that it was dark and could not see anything clearly.
"Have they come here?" he asked.
The guard shook his head: "No, I don't know what he is doing." He couldn't help but step forward, "Yan came, do you want to go and ask?"
Xie Yanlai sneered: "No, they don't care, we don't care, just wait like that."
The guards said ok.
Xie Yanlai didn't say anything anymore, just wait. Not only did he not care about the current situation, but he didn't care about the result.
No matter what the result is, he will not end well.
The third prince won, Xie's family was finished, and he was finished, Xie Yanfang won, and he was still a dog in Xie's family.
Xie Yanlai retracted his gaze and looked outside the city. The battle outside the city continued. How was that girl?
She was determined to leave the capital, but she failed to fulfill her wish and now she is in trouble.
Is she hating him now? She blamed him for not delivering letters to her earlier and asking her father to pick her up?
Thinking of this, Xie Yanlai couldn't help but smile and held the knife tightly with his drooping hands.
Chu Zhao, it is better to live well. If he can live this time, he will immediately send a letter to her.
