Chapter 1023: Deciding the outcome in one fell swoop
After the eldest prince Nangong Lie, the fourth prince Nangong Yuan, and the third prince Nangong Xiao visited Ye Chen one after another, the second prince Nangong Kaige and the fifth prince Nangong Qin also visited again.
Ye Chen was quite familiar with the second prince Nanning and the fifth prince Nangong Qin.
And these two princes also trusted him.
So without much effort, Ye Chen gained the other party's absolute trust.
"Sir, the five princes have entered the network, where are you going to start next?"
After Ye Chen saw off the last prince, Jin Lin couldn't wait to come out from behind the scenes and asked curiously.
"In case of long nights and many dreams, the sooner the better!"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment, and a look of determination rose in his eyes, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Let's decide tomorrow in one fell swoop!"
"Tomorrow?"
Jin Lin's face changed slightly.
Li Fengyu's expression also became serious, "It seems that there will definitely be an uproar in the Imperial Capital tomorrow!"
"Sooner or later!"
Ye Chen said: "Instead of making more and more chaos, it's better to cut through the mess quickly and solve it in the shortest time, so that I can get what I want!"
…
The next day!
As soon as the eastern sky turned white, Ye Chen put on a disguise and quietly squeaked out the sounds of nature.
Then, he sneaked into the mansion of the fourth prince Nangong Yuan without knowing it.
At this moment, Nangong Yuan was still sleeping soundly in the palace.
It wasn't until a sense of crisis hit him that he suddenly woke up.
"ah?
this……"
He subconsciously exclaimed.
But then, a translucent spiritual palm covered his lips, muffling his exclamations.
"You, why are you here?"
Even though he had clearly seen the person coming, Nangong Yuan was still so frightened that his face changed.
"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, my plan will be implemented today, but it requires your full cooperation!"
Ye Chen got straight to the point.
"Start today?"
After a brief moment of shock, Nangong Yuan said in confusion: "Don't we need to brew for a while and wait until the time is more mature before we start taking action?"
"Today is the best time!"
Ye Chen said in a deep voice.
"this……"
Nangong Yuan still couldn't calm down.
He only received Ye Chen's reply yesterday. He originally thought that it would take at least a long period of time and countless cruel power struggles before the battle for the throne could be settled.
Unexpectedly, when he woke up, Ye Chen not only appeared beside his bed inexplicably like a ghost, but also said that he would start taking action today!
This is too fast!
In particular, there were many guards outside his palace, and not even a fly would dare to fly in.
However, Ye Chen appeared next to his bed, and the guards outside didn't notice at all.
This Ye Chen's concealment technique is too scary!
If there was any intention to assassinate him, he would probably die in his sleep before he had a chance to wake up.
"stop looking!"
Seeing the doubts in Nangong Yuan's heart, Ye Chen waved his hand impatiently, "It's just a group of useless guards like yours. It's okay to guard against some ordinary assassins, but in front of me, they are just in name only!"
"That's...okay!"
Ye Chen explained it so clearly that Nangong Yuan no longer thinks about it.
However, Ye Chen's level of mystery in his heart instantly rose to another level.
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, if you miss today, I'm afraid that plan will be aborted!"
Seeing that Nangong Yuan still looked confused, Ye Chen urged again, pretending to be anxious.
"Can you let me prepare?"
Nangong Yuan asked.
"no!"
Ye Chen said urgently: "The opportunity is fleeting. If you delay it any longer, you will only miss this God-given opportunity!"
"What kind of God-given opportunity?"
Nangong Yuan was still confused.
"Anyway, get up and go down to meet General Long!"
"What are you doing to see General Long?"
"Do you still want this throne?"
Ye Chen was a little angry.
"Yes, of course I do!"
Although Nangong Yuan was still a little confused, when he mentioned the throne, he suddenly became energetic again.
No longer thinking about it, he immediately got up and without even bothering to wash his face, he took Ye Chen and hurried to see General Long Guangzheng.
Because the matter was urgent, General Long Guangzheng was not at the General's Mansion, but stayed directly at his son-in-law's house.
It is also the residence of the fourth prince Nangong Yuan.
"Master Ye, why are you here?"
General Long Guangzheng got up earlier, but he was still a little surprised when he saw Ye Chen.
"The plan must be implemented today, otherwise it will change later!"
Ye Chen did not delay and said directly: "I need General Long to cooperate with me!"
"That's...okay!"
Although he had some doubts, seeing Ye Chen's serious face and Nangong Yuan's face full of expectations, he could only ask: "Master Ye commented that as long as I can do it, I will do my best to cooperate with your actions!"
"General Long, please mobilize all your troops here immediately and follow my orders!"
Ye Chen said in a commanding tone.
"Assemble all the troops to come here?"
Long Guangzheng asked subconsciously: "Why are they transferred here?"
"Stop asking!"
Ye Chen waved his hand and said impatiently: "If you want the plan to be implemented smoothly, you just need to strictly follow my orders!"
"Father-in-law, please listen to Mr. Ye's arrangements for everything!"
Seeing that Long Guangzheng was still hesitating, Nangong Yuan persuaded him: "If Mr. Ye wants to do harm to my son-in-law, my son-in-law has already died on the bed just now!"
"Master Ye sneaked into the mansion secretly?"
Long Guangzheng's pupils shrank slightly.
No one knows better than him how tight the guards are in the fourth prince's mansion.
Even the top warriors in the Yong'an Empire can't even think of sneaking in without alerting anyone.
Fortunately for Ye Chen, he quietly entered the palace of his son-in-law Nangong Yuan without being discovered.
One can imagine how unfathomable Ye Chen's strength is.
And the more he admires him, the higher his trust in Ye Chen becomes.
"General Long, without further ado, please make a quick decision!"
Ye Chen urged again.
"Okay, I'll do it now, General!"
Long Guangzheng didn't waste any more time and immediately sent out an order for all the generals of the Imperial Guard to come to the fourth prince's residence immediately to wait for orders.
Not long after the order was issued, more than a dozen mighty generals wearing armor arrived one after another.
"Master Ye, these are all the generals of the imperial capital's 100,000 imperial guards. What do they need to do next?"
After all the generals arrived, Long Guangzheng cast a questioning look at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded, stood up, glanced at all the generals present, and said forcefully: "From now on, you must obey my orders unconditionally, and those who disobey will be dealt with according to military law!"
While speaking, he reached out and touched the space bracelet.
"Woo!"
A ray of dim light appeared and instantly transformed into a jade sculpture in Ye Chen's hands.
"Military Talisman?"
"Why is it in his hands?"
"Isn't the military talisman always in the hands of the general?"
More than a dozen generals were surprised.
Ye Chen did not explain, but cast a suggestive look at Long Guangzheng.
The military talisman was originally in his hand. Logically speaking, he could also dispatch the 100,000 imperial guards by himself.
But if it is not recognized by the general Long Guangzheng, I am afraid that many generals will have doubts and ignore the military symbols and not follow the instructions.
And this was also the reason why he came to the fourth prince's residence in person.
Only when all the generals recognize the authority of the military talisman in their own hands, and then the great general Long Guangzheng acknowledges it in public, can the military talisman be truly effective.
