Lin Haoming was in a restaurant outside the royal city and summoned a series of people who were surrounding the royal city.
In fact, apart from Jiang Heng's people, the largest remaining person is the capital commander of the Forbidden Army. The commander and deputy commander of the new city defense army have been beheaded by the people below. After all, Lin Haoming has been seen entering the city with his troops, and it is still...
Marshal Jiang's son brought him in personally. In this way, there is no chance. Taking advantage of this moment, hug Mr. Jiang's thigh and do some military exploits. At least holding on to his life is the best way. If he can capture Zhang Xiao, that's it.
It's a great achievement, that's why they work so hard.
Lin Haoming thought that Jiang Ziqi was definitely a tough nut to crack when he was alive. He didn't expect that the situation would turn out like this once he died.
Lin Haoming made a promise to these people and asked them to continue surrounding the royal city to prevent others from running away. In the end, only Miao Yu was left.
Lin Haoming left him with many questions, because this matter was uncontrollable everywhere.
Miao Yu seemed to understand. When he saw Lin Haoming sending everyone away, he took the initiative to salute Lin Haoming and said, "Miao Yu has met Commander Lin."
"Did you get information about White Dragon Guard before?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Yes, but I am not the White Dragon Guard. I am just avenging Commander Zhao." Miao Yu said.
"Then do you know what happened? You two Golden Guards from the Black Dragon Guard invited Marshal Jiang and Wang Yuanzhan to the Black Dragon Guard, and then one left and the other died, and everyone who was working at that time died. What happened?
"Lin Haoming asked.
Miao Yu shook his head, but quickly said: "I don't know, but I believe that Jiang Hongtu and Yi Zhe probably received the order, and they should also avenge Master Zhao like me."
Miao Yu had no evidence and could only speculate on his own. The same was true for Lin Haoming, because he had many direct subordinates of Zhao Wufeng in his hands. Yin Bingchun's roster also included several Golden Guards, but they had never officially stated their stance. The person who contacted them originally
, left the secret code to start, but they never agreed. This is also the reason why Lin Haoming didn't know what would happen after he launched the operation before. And now it seems that Zhao Wufeng is really powerful. It's no wonder that Xia Chunqiu was willing to die.
Already.
"I understand. What you said when you killed Zhang Chi before was probably your deliberate inducement. But from now on, this will be the truth. If you kill Zhang Chi, I will record your merit."
"Sir, I don't need credit. I just want to give up everything after the country is stabilized. There were too many orphans left by my brothers during the Zhangchi purge. I don't want them to take the path of the Black Dragon Guard again. Without the Black Dragon Guard
There won't be any in the future, but I don't want them to join the White Dragon Guard." Miao Yu prayed respectfully.
"Okay." Lin Haoming stared at him and finally nodded.
"Thank you, Commander Lin." When Miao Yu saw Lin Haoming agree, he bowed and retreated.
Lin Haoming couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief, but it didn't matter now.
At this time, he had already heard those heavy equipment being brought in. It was only a matter of time before some of those guys broke through the royal city.
In fact, after the chaos during the day, when these equipments arrived, and when it got dark, fighting at night would make it easier for the opponent to escape. Therefore, Lin Haoming ordered that everything should focus on stability, and deployed troops overnight, waiting to capture the royal city in one fell swoop tomorrow.
.
When everything was tightly packed, in the middle of the night, suddenly a fire broke out in the royal city and the royal palace, which surprised everyone.
Immediately afterwards, the Forbidden Army began to break out in all directions, but with only a few men and horses, wherever they could break out, they were almost wiped out by the time it was almost dawn. Even the south gate, because the Forbidden Army general surrendered, finally rushed in directly.
When daybreak came, only scattered sounds of fighting could be heard from a few places in the palace.
By the time the sun was up, even the sporadic sounds of fighting had become rare. Lin Haoming walked into the palace with Jiang Heng, Zhou Guangyi and others accompanying him.
It was the harem that caught fire last night. Now the fire has almost been extinguished, or the Jingtai Palace where the fire broke out has been completely burned. This was originally the residence of the Queen of Yue, but at this moment, the soldiers pulled out dozens of corpses from inside.
Burnt corpses.
"Shuai Lin." At this time, Pang Erniu came over with some of his brothers. This refugee who followed him from Fushan County is now a serious general. Over the past ten years, his skills have become more and more powerful. Although
He still has some of his old habits, but he is still qualified as a general. Last night, he led some troops and people recruited by Jiang Heng to fight in, and now it is his men who are carrying the corpses.
Lin Haoming looked at the ruins and asked, "How?"
"Looking at their figures, they are all women and children. They are probably Zhang Xiao's concubine and the children. They are all girls. They are probably princesses. They did not inhale soot in their mouths and noses. They should have died first and then dumped their bodies.
They were burned together with the palace." Pang Erniu reported carefully.
"Didn't find Zhang Xiao?" Lin Haoming asked again.
"No, I guess the city gates were guarded last night and no one broke through. He can't be out of tune, unless..."
"Unless there is a secret passage." Lin Haoming said first.
"That's what I mean," Pang Erniu nodded.
Lin Haoming immediately looked at Jiang Heng. Jiang Heng really asked his men to find someone, but Chen Tie happened to run over in a hurry, leading a person dressed as a palace lady.
But when they got closer, Jiang Heng recognized him at a glance and said: "Manager Han, the dignified deputy manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is dressed like this."
"Shuai Lin, the eldest son, this guy mingled among the old and weak palace ladies and wanted to sneak out of the city. Instead, he was reported. I immediately dragged him over." Chen Tie said with a smile.
"Do you know any secret passages in the palace?" Lin Haoming asked immediately.
"Sir, I don't know, I really don't know." Manager Han cried and knelt down.
"You are the deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you are considered a high-ranking figure in the palace, but you don't know anything?" Jiang Heng asked with some disbelief.
"I really don't know. Last night, His Majesty summoned all the concubines and princesses to Jingtai Palace. Concubine Xi felt that something was wrong, so she ordered me to disguise myself as an ordinary palace concubine and hide."
"Oh, so Concubine Xi is still alive?" Jiang Heng was also a little surprised.
"Yes, but then the situation became chaotic and we were scattered. I don't know where the empress is." Manager Han said.
"Who is this Concubine Xi?" Lin Haoming asked Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng immediately said: "She is the daughter of Fang Hang, the governor of Wu'an County. She entered the palace just three years ago. My mother has met her a few times. I have seen her as a very intelligent woman."
"Fang Hang is in Wu'an County and has been stationary. He is also a smart man. Look for this Concubine Xi." Lin Haoming followed up and gave the order.
