Yan Bing's 45,000-strong army arrived in the capital city in a mighty manner...
Along the way, Yan Bing did not submit any memorials or documents to the local authorities or the court to explain his behavior...
And the imperial court seemed to acquiesce, and never sent out a single soldier to stop it...
It wasn't until the troops marched to a position thirty miles east of the capital that Yan Bing ordered his men to raise two flags!
Zuo Shu: On the side of the Qing emperor, kill all the traitors in the court to repay the emperor's favor!
Book on the right: Execute Huangcuo, and Daliang’s foundation will last forever!
………………
If you say that if you lead troops into the capital without reporting it, you have already committed the crime of beheading...
Yan Bing's behavior at this time was tantamount to rising up, raising an army to rebel, confiscating the house and killing the family. That was considered a light thing. Being beaten in the street and dying with a thousand cuts was not an exaggeration...
But even so! When the soldiers from Xingtian Camp flew over the capital first, they were surprised to find that all nine gates of the capital were wide open...
The number of pedestrians and merchants coming and going in the city is still the same as before, and even the number of soldiers patrolling the city is no different from usual...
When Xingtianying brought the city defense map he drew into the commander's tent and described what he saw and heard in front of Yan Bing, Yan Bing couldn't help but blurt out: "It's such a deep city..."
Hearing this, several Qianhu who were a little slow to react looked at each other and said: "The capital is a bit big...but coach, you have been there so many times, you should know what it is?"
"Bullshit! The coach is talking about our new king! The city is very deep!! What are you pig brains thinking about all day long? Do you have any eyesight to see me!?" Wu Qidao rolled his eyes at everyone,
Then he took a step forward and asked, "Coach, then... should we enter this city... or not?"
"Of course we have to enter! This is the day I've been waiting for!" Yan Bing finished speaking loudly, but quickly turned around, looked at everyone and slowly added: "It's just... the army doesn't have to enter the city, all of them are in the city.
If you are stationed outside, you cannot set up a formation! But you cannot lower your guard! The Xingtian camp patrols for hundreds of miles, and the camps are at angles to each other, and they line up around the city! In the past few days, anyone who runs out of the city, regardless of male, female, old or young, will be detained!
In the camp, waiting for the fate!!"
"yes!!"
"Take orders!!"

Early next morning
Three quarters after nine o'clock
Imperial City Main Hall
Wang Wenzheng was sitting on the imperial platform. He glanced around at the "civil and military officials" who were sparsely occupied and full of vacancies. For a moment, he felt dumbfounded... He looked back at his mother and said with a smile: "How about...
...Mother also went to hide?"
"Joke! I am the current Queen Mother! You are the current Holy Emperor! No matter how bold she is, Yan Qihua still dares to rebel!? Others are afraid of her! I am not afraid! I am well behaved! Sit down
have to……"
"You bitch who murdered your own husband! How shameless-!!!" A sudden roar directly interrupted Empress Dowager Li's empty words. Everyone turned around and saw that the speaker was none other than someone else.
It is Princess Kaiyuan, Prince Yan, and Yan Qihua!
She was seen wearing an apricot-yellow Dragon King robe and a phoenix crown given by the late emperor. She had no shoes on her feet and a sword hanging on her waist! And behind her, there was a person standing! It was the number one criminal wanted by the court!
Former commander of the Black Brocade Guard!
Zeng Ke!!
Yes……
Zeng Ke... found Yan Bing...
Li Bing...the reason why she deliberately led the army with great fanfare and made it known to everyone! It was because she knew that with Zeng Ke's courage and methods, she must still be lurking in the capital! She would not stay away!
Testing the new king or testing the officials is secondary!
Her ultimate goal is always to wait for him!
A person who must know all the inside story will be wanted by the whole country!
And Zeng Ke did not disappoint her. When her army had just arrived on the outskirts of the capital, he had already appeared in Yan Bing's handsome tent without anyone noticing...
Two acquaintances who were almost separated forever, the moment they saw each other, their eyes became red...
But these tears were not shed for the reunion after the disaster, but for the "old friend" who was far away from the two of them...
And in Zeng Ke's subsequent narration, Yan Bing learned the whole story, even though she knew very well that even if she hadn't faked her death, the other party would have looked for other opportunities to strike, but it would have been a few days earlier and a few days later.
It’s just the difference...
But the strong sense of guilt and self-blame still stung her heart deeply, and she kept her head down and remained silent.
And Zeng Ke gradually understood her thoughts. After some good words and persuasion, seeing that it didn't work, he simply asked her to find some jars of good wine. The two used the strength of the wine to scold each other!
He scolded her for not thinking well enough and making mistakes! That was why her old friend was tortured with poison before she left, making her miserable...
She scolded him for not being able to protect him well and for not knowing how to adapt! The elders of Feixia Clan were close at hand, but they didn’t know how to call him to protect the palace together...
After a night of drunkenness and repeated sarcasm, when they woke up the next day, they both let go of each other's feelings and smiled at each other...
In the early morning, accompanied by Wang Linfeng and Qin Ming, the two entered the main hall of the palace...
…………
………………
Time has come to now...
"Zeng Ke!!" The color drained from Queen Mother Li's face instantly after seeing Zeng Ke, and she quickly shouted outside the palace: "Here comes someone! Hurry up and kill the traitor!!"
"Those who enter the palace will die——!!!"
Following Yan Bing's roar! Several guards who had just entered the hall were immediately splashed with blood, and their heads were beheaded by Wang Linfeng's flying sword! Their heads fell to the ground and rolled, until the moment they stopped, the expressions on their faces were still there.
It is clearly visible that the eyes are full of surprise...and regret...
And this scene not only scared off the other guards, but also frightened the Queen Mother Li who was on the imperial stage. Sitting on the phoenix chariot, she couldn't stop trembling! She growled hesitantly: "You! You are so big.
How dare you!! Are you...are you planning to rebel!!??"
Yan Bing squinted his eyes and stared at the poisonous woman on the platform, holding Qingxuan in his hand, slowly approaching...
"Kill the enemy for the late emperor! How can you rebel! This king! This is on the side of Qingjun!! But... I was still a step too late!! I knew you were so brave! You dared to murder my father! I should have done it in the first place!
Let’s take action directly and kill you all!!! How can I let my father die with hatred!!! This mistake... I don’t want to keep it for a moment anymore!!!”
As she spoke, Yan Bing's feet had already stepped onto the imperial platform, and the Qingxuan in her hand was also shining with a dazzling cold light...
"Come here!! Escort!! Escort!!! Your Majesty!! Your Majesty, please save me!! Quickly save my mother!!"
At this time, Queen Mother Li no longer had the high and domineering attitude of the past. Her legs seemed to have lost control and she kicked randomly. However, after struggling for a long time, she could not even stand up.
Wang Wenzheng on the side did not seem to care about her life or death. Instead, he pretended to be surprised, looked at her, and asked loudly: "Mother! Is what she said true?? Father, is it true?
I was really killed by you!??”
"Me!! Didn't I do it all for you!! For your throne!!! Quick!! Stop her!! Don't let her come!! I am the Queen Mother!! I am the Queen Mother of Liang!!
!You can’t kill me!!!” Queen Mother Li said
She was completely panicked and her speech became incoherent and garbled. However, the eunuchs and maids around her had already turned into birds and beasts. Even the emperor who was very close to her just sat on the dragon chair.
Not moving at all...
"Today...no one can save you! You are a heartless and vicious woman!! I want to make the pain that my father endured happen to you a hundred times!!!" After Yan Bing finished speaking, he raised his hand.
The sword penetrated directly through Li Feiran's shoulder! Screams like a slaughtering pig immediately filled the entire hall!
"This is just the first sword! There are ninety-nine swords left!!!"
"puff--!"
Another sword pierced Li Feiran's forearm instantly. Yan Bing deliberately avoided the opponent's main artery! Make sure that the opponent will not die easily!!
"And your two brothers! They run fast...it doesn't matter! I will find them all!! Let them die worse than you!!!"
"Pfft~!!!"
"And there are ninety-seven swords!!!"
The blood not only dyed Empress Dowager Li's phoenix robe red, but also slowly dyed the phoenix chariot red. However, under the double torture of severe pain and fear, Empress Dowager Li became incontinent in front of all the civil and military officials...
"Save me~~!!! Your Majesty!!! Are you just looking at me like this!! I'm your queen mother!! Please help me..." Li Feiran cried weakly while raising her hands.
Towards Wang Wenzheng on the dragon throne...
"puff--!"
The next moment, her right arm that she had just raised drooped down again, because this sword had pierced her right shoulder bone! It broke her back tendons!
"Master——!!!"
A shrill cry caused Yan Bing, who was raising his hand to strike the next sword, to freeze on the spot...slowly turned around and looked...it was Wang Wensheng who had lifted up his robe and came...
"Master!! I beg you!! I beg you not to kill my mother!! I beg you!!! She is my mother!!" Wang Wensheng cried and ran up to the stage, opening his arms.
Standing between mother and Yan Bing!
Yan Bing stared blankly at Vincent, whose face was full of tears, bit his lip a few times, and said softly: "It was your mother...she killed your father with her own hands!! Do you know...?"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Wensheng was stunned. He slowly turned to look at his mother who was covered in blood. He knelt down in front of Yan Bing with a "gudong" sound and said tremblingly: "Disciple...I don't know...but Master
!My dad has already
No more! The dead cannot be resurrected!! You have already punished her!! For the sake of my disciple! Let her live!! I beg you, my disciple! I no longer have a father!! Disciple
I don’t want to lose my mother again!!!”
Wen Sheng was crying and kowtowing to Yan Bing. At this time, Li Feiran was also filled with tears. She never expected that...the eldest son she had always loved the most would be very concerned about her life and death.
No matter what, at the most critical moment, it was his youngest son who stood in front of him...
She just felt like crying and laughing at the same time. What was she doing for a long time... She might as well let her youngest son become the emperor. How could she end up in the situation she is in today...
"Okay... stop knocking..." Yan Bing frowned and looked down at Vincent...
But Wen Sheng just kowtowed desperately, hitting his head on the imperial platform with a thumping sound, and did not hear Yan Bing's whisper at all...
"I told you to stop knocking!!! I won't kill her!!!" Yan Bing roared at the top of his lungs, then turned around and walked off the stage... But... in the next moment... he looked at her with a face filled with pain.
Zeng Ke in the audience gave a look...
"Really!!?? Really!?? Disciple!! Disciple thanks Master for not killing me!! Disciple will just be a bull and a horse in this life..."
"puff--!!!"
Vincent opened his eyes wide, looked at Zeng Ke in front of him, and then turned back blankly to look at his mother...
I saw a long sword that had penetrated her heart, and turbulent blood flowed out from the corners of her mouth and chest...
"Crack!"
Zeng Ke neatly sheathed his sword and said coldly to Wang Wensheng who was kneeling on the ground: "If Prince Yan doesn't kill her, I, Zeng, will kill her! This sword! I was the one who stabbed the late emperor!!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode away outside the palace...
But among all the civil and military officials in the palace and the guards outside the palace, no one dared to stop...
Liang Guo...can do without me, Zeng Ke!!
But... we can’t live without Prince Yan!!
Zeng Ke knew that... his sword cut off not only the life of Empress Dowager Li, but also his own official career. However... he did not regret it at all, but felt... very happy!!
