"Leave the officer here while the rest of the gang is waiting to go out!"
Yan Xifeng pointed at the ordinary imperial troops, leaving only the generals.
After the ordinary Imperial Guards exited and closed the door again, the atmosphere immediately became tense and serious.
All the generals were waiting for Yan Xifeng to continue speaking.
Yan Xifeng took out the command token of the Forbidden Army and said: "The war in Guancheng is tense. Commander Zhou and other brothers have gone to Guancheng. From now on, I will command the Forbidden Army."
When the token was taken out, everyone was surprised.
They didn't expect that Zhou Hao went to Guancheng quietly and took away his cronies.
but
"General Zhou went to Guancheng, why didn't he take the imperial army with him?"
A general found it strange that if Zhou Hao went to the front line to fight, he could not go alone. He should go with his troops and horses.
Yan Xifeng immediately said: "General Zhou went to the front line to command the troops, so he only brought his generals with him."
"The most important thing is that we are left here because Long Chengen's forces have penetrated into the royal city."
"The purpose of the Privy Council's return to the city is to eliminate Long Chengen's influence in the city. You must gather the brothers immediately and follow me!"
Yan Xifeng's words left everyone baffled.
"Long Chengen's forces have penetrated into the royal city?"
Everyone was just a little surprised.
These days, the atmosphere in the city is very subtle. Everyone feels that something is going to happen, but they don't know exactly what it is.
Some people say that Shi Yuncheng wants a coup, some say that Concubine Li is going to rebel, some say that the queen is going to die, anyway, the rumors never stop.
Therefore, when Yan Xifeng said that Long Chen's forces had penetrated into the royal city, everyone was slightly surprised.
"To be honest, I actually don't know much about it. Let the brothers assemble and go to the middle palace to listen to the Queen and the Privy Council's orders."
Yan Xifeng didn't want to talk anymore. Talking too much would expose the truth.
Everyone is either Yan Xifeng's cronies or neutral. They will do whatever Yan Xifeng says.
Soon, Yan Xifeng gathered almost 10,000 forbidden troops and immediately headed for the Central Palace.
At this time, Shi Yuncheng had already entered the main hall of the middle palace.
Shi Yuncheng was wearing armor and leading his troops, with a long sword hanging on his waist.
The main hall was brightly lit, with only the maids standing on both sides of the hall, and the queen sitting at the front, wearing a phoenix robe, looking very energetic.
On the left side of the Taishi chair below, there is a man sleeping on the armrest. It seems to be Lu Qichang.
Seeing the queen's appearance, Shi Yuncheng was surprised. He heard that the queen was dying and almost died.
Why do you look so energetic now?
Shi Yuncheng walked into the main hall. The imperial guards behind him stopped in the courtyard and did not dare to go in.
If the queen was dying, they would dare to follow her in, but the queen looked very energetic and there was Lu Qichang beside her, so they did not dare to be presumptuous.
Shi Yuncheng walked into the main hall and bowed to the queen: "My son, I pay my respects to my mother and uncle."
The queen looked at Shi Yuncheng coldly and did not let him stand.
Shi Yuncheng kept bending down to salute.
The Imperial Guards in the courtyard stood still and did not dare to move. They were a little panicked.
Shi Yuncheng bent down to salute, looking at the ground, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"You still knew you were coming. I thought you wouldn't come."
Finally, the queen responded coldly, and Shi Yuncheng took the opportunity to raise his head and said: "My mother has called me, how dare I not come."
The queen sneered and said: "If your biological mother, Concubine Shu, dares to come, why don't you dare?"
Shi Yuncheng lowered his head and did not dare to reply.
Lu Qichang next to him was still sleeping, looking very tired.
"son"
Shi Yuncheng wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.
"What do you mean by bringing these soldiers into the palace? Do you want to see if I am dead? So that you can give up the queen's position to Concubine Shu?"
The queen looked coldly at the imperial guards in the courtyard, her tone cold and stern.
Shi Yuncheng immediately bowed down and said: "The queen has misunderstood. Now the city is in chaos. The sons and ministers are worried that the queen is in danger, so they led troops into the palace."
The queen sneered and said, "You do have a filial piety."
Next to her, Yu Yao strode up to the steps and scolded sternly: "Wearing armor and carrying soldiers into the palace, and you don't kneel down when you see the queen, do you want to rebel?"
Wow
Fifty Imperial Guards all knelt down to apologize: "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
The queen looked coldly at the imperial guards kneeling outside the palace. Yuyao scolded: "Remove your armor! Disarm!"
The Imperial Guard was stunned.
The queen sneered and said: "Your Highness, the Second Prince, they are waiting for your general order!"
Shi Yuncheng felt guilty, turned around and cursed: "You bastards, how dare you disobey the Queen Mother's decree!"
The fifty Imperial Guards immediately removed their armor and placed their weapons on the ground.
"Humph, you still have some filial piety!"
The queen snorted coldly, turned around and said, "Come here, bring the king's imperial edict!"
Next to him, a eunuch came out, holding a plate with a roll of paper in his hand.
Upon seeing the imperial edict, Shi Yuncheng did not dare to be presumptuous and bowed respectfully to the edict.
Even if Shi Le was not in the royal city, Shi Yuncheng would not dare to be disrespectful at all.
"Shi Yuncheng accepts the order!"
The eunuch held the imperial edict high, while Shi Yuncheng bowed respectfully.
A golden needle suddenly appeared and pierced Shi Yuncheng's throat. Shi Yuncheng immediately collapsed and fell to the ground.
The eunuch holding the imperial edict is Long Chen.
Shi Yuncheng's cultivation level was very low, so it would be easy to kill him, but Long Chen was currently pretending to be a junior doctor, so that's why he acted like this.
When the queen saw that Long Chen had succeeded, her face showed a look of ecstasy.
Seeing that Long Chen had succeeded, Yu Yao shouted loudly: "Take it!"
Dozens of iron kites and assassins trained by the queen rushed out, surrounding fifty forbidden troops.
When the imperial guards saw Shi Yuncheng lying on the ground, they hurriedly grabbed the waist knife on the ground to resist.
Boo hoo hoo
A burst of arrows flew down from the roof, killing a wave of them first, and then Tie Yaozi and the palace maids worked together to kill all the forbidden soldiers in the courtyard.
Yuyao was sure to kill them all, so she returned to the main hall and reported: "Empress, kill them all!"
The queen stood up and walked down. She looked at Shi Yuncheng who was slumped on the ground and could not speak, and cursed angrily: "What a thief, I treat you as if you were my own child, but you want to rebel and kill me. You are really ambitious and feeding an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!"
Shi Yuncheng finally saw clearly that the eunuch in front of him was Long Chen.
He understood that all this was a trap and he had fallen into the trap.
"Cut off your hands and feet, put them in shackles, and keep them under strict supervision!"
The queen is not a kind person either, she is vicious.
Yuyao immediately drew her sword and severed Shi Yuncheng's hand tendons and hamstrings, and then took a fifty kilogram shackle and locked Shi Yuncheng's neck.
Only then did Long Chen pull out the golden needle.
Shi Yuncheng cursed angrily in pain: "You bitch's virtue is not worthy of your place. I should have raised an army to kill your entire Lu family!"
His hands and feet were severed, and Shi Yuncheng was already a cripple. If he fell into the hands of the queen, he would definitely die.
Therefore, Shi Yuncheng was not afraid and simply scolded him. He could only scold others.
The queen was furious, slapped Shi Yuncheng on the face, spat on Shi Yuncheng's face, and cursed: "I will arrest that bitch Concubine Shu now! Let your mother and son be reunited!"
Yuyao waved her hand, and the palace maid immediately escorted Shi Yuncheng away.
"Lu Qichang" who was taking a nap in the Taishi chair also woke up and stood aside to listen to the order.
"Xiao Feng, what should we do now?"
The queen quickly asked Long Chen and obeyed Long Chen's command in everything.
Yuyao and others were waiting for Long Chen to speak.
"How many Imperial Guards are there outside the door?"
Long Chen didn't know how many people Shi Yuncheng had brought here, so he wanted to ask clearly first.
Yuyao said: "Shi Yuncheng brought about 500 people in total. He just killed 50 and there are more than 400 at the door."
This number is still a bit too much, after all, there are not enough manpower in the palace.
Although Long Chen's martial arts was good, he couldn't use it, otherwise he would just kill randomly.
"wait!"
"When Yan Xifeng comes with his troops, the queen and he will go to the palace gate and order the imperial army to surrender!"
Long Chen told his plan, and the queen nodded slightly and said: "Yes, this is a safe way to do it. Yan Xifeng should be fine, right?"
Yu Yao immediately said: "There must be no problem. Yan Xifeng has the token of the commander of the Forbidden Army in his hand, and Zhou Hao's cronies in the army have also been dealt with, so there should be no problem!"
Yan Xifeng's control of the Forbidden Army is a crucial step. If there is a problem with this step, all the previous preparations will be in vain.
