When the guards at the palace gate saw them coming, they wanted to step forward and shout out who they were, but they didn't have the courage at all. In the end, they involuntarily stepped aside, leaving Xiao Xian and others to shout loudly. Went in.
After they entered, the guards comforted themselves that the city gates were self-defeating and the palace gates were nothing special.
Aren't all the guards working in the Qing Palace?
These people quickly lost the thought of blaming themselves, thinking that the law does not blame everyone anyway, and everyone is like this, so no one can blame themselves.
Soon they even wanted to follow and watch the fun.
People are like this. The originally tense and tense atmosphere outside the city was destroyed by Chu Ting. After that, it was just like child's play. Moreover, Xiao Xian and others did not kill anyone when they entered the city. Instead, they were unable to restrain and not harass any common people. This made the people in the city It felt like two big families brought their servants to fight, and they just wanted to watch the fun.
There was no awareness that the emperor had been humiliated, and no one wanted to commit suicide or bleed to protect the emperor's face.
Things are becoming more and more weird and ridiculous, but the instigator is standing on the high city wall looking at the location of the Forbidden City, showing an evil and satisfied smile.
At this time, Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu had already led people outside the gate of Qianqing Palace. It was almost evening, the sunset was like blood, and there was a sad and solemn atmosphere in the whole palace, just like late autumn.
"If the visitor stops at a thousand steps, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Han Shaoming, the commander of the imperial guards, shouted loudly and ordered the crossbowmen to prepare. If anyone wants to invade the Qianqing Palace, they will be killed without mercy.
He was single-handedly promoted by the emperor and was only loyal to the emperor.
But he also admired Xiao Xian and Wen Songzhi very much. Xiao Xian was even kind to him in the past, but now he had to fight each other for loyalty to the emperor.
Xiao Xian didn't seem to remember him at all, and only regarded him as the commander of the guards of Qianqing Palace.
Before Xiao Xian could speak, Shen Mingzhu raised her voice and said: "The prince made it clear outside the city gate. He did not come to fight or kill, but to ask for an explanation. Anyone who has nothing to do with it can step back. There is no need to cause unnecessary killing and bloodshed."
Her inner strength was superb, and her words were not loud, but they were heard steadily around her. Everyone could hear them clearly, as if they were hearing them around her.
Although they were the emperor's personal guards, they still wanted to die after all. Moreover, they were facing Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu. Some people said that they did not hurt anyone when they entered the city, they just made it all the way to the palace.
King Yan's words are as true as his words, and everyone in the world knows this. If he says he is not here to kill, then he is not here to kill. If he says he is here to ask for an explanation, then he is here to ask for an explanation.
Most of the guards thought the same way, and felt that he would not harm the emperor, but only wanted to severely punish the murderer of General Wen.
Some people still want to talk about the rumors created by the emperor and others, questioning Xiao Xian's own excuses for killing Wen Songzhi, but now Xiao Xian has made it very clear publicly that he is not here to compete for the throne, so it is not tenable to say so. Stop, just shut up.
Xiao Xian stood under the palace gate, his voice was clear and bright, "I have something to say first. I am not fighting for power, but just asking for an explanation. I don't want to hurt any people or soldiers. Believe me, Xiao Xian, just retreat."
