Late at night, the walls of the Royal Palace.

Xiao Zhang stood on the tall city wall, his eyes cast into the deep night, he was thinking about something, something that would most likely happen at the same time tonight.

The prince should have received the news that the two deputy commanders were destroyed, and the prince should also know the news that Xiao Zhang made up, that is, the news that Zuo Dongling was hiding in the harem.

It is true that this is not Xiao Zhang's fabrication, because he does suspect that Zuo Dongling is hiding in the palace, but it is unknown whether he is in the harem.

Xiao Zhang expected that the prince would most likely start searching for Zuo Dongling tonight, and the power that the prince could get his hands on was the prince's personal guard.

Xiao Zhang had already sent five of his guards to ambush in the harem, ready to infiltrate the prince's guards at any time to get first-hand information. Because his five guards were originally the prince's guards, they were all too familiar with the prince's guards.

Xiao Zhang also thought that with the prince's quick temper, he might kill him tonight, and the means he used was naturally to use the Praetorian Guards under his control to launch a surprise attack on Xiao Zhang.

According to the information provided by Xuanyuan Decision, the vast majority of the Praetorian Guards were the prince's people, and as long as the prince gave an order, Xiao Zhang would be under siege.

Xiao Zhang was not worried, to deal with these Praetorian Guards, although there was no guarantee of killing many people, it was still no problem to escape, and once he escaped, it would mean that his plans in the palace were completely bankrupt.

Therefore, he couldn't run away, he could only pin his hopes on Xuanyuan Due.

He had already entrusted Xuanyuan to find a way to help him clean the Praetorian Guards, and it was best to purge all the prince's people among them, but Xuanyuan said at the time: "It is difficult to clean accurately, and the best way is to completely eliminate it, but it will inevitably cause some manslaughter." ”

Xiao Zhang thought for a long time and nodded, but he didn't express the exact meaning.

At this moment, Xiao Zhang didn't know what method Xuanyuan would use, nor did he know whether Xuanyuan would be cleaned accurately or completely removed, all in all, he chose to believe in Xuanyuan.

And once the Praetorian Guard is completely cleared, Xiao Zhang will become the commander of the light pole, however, he is not worried about this situation, he still has a way, which is to borrow troops from the Beast Clan and the Houyi Clan to temporarily serve as the Praetorian Guard.

This idea is very bold, and it is even no different from rebellion, but Xiao Zhang believes that since the emperor has entrusted his net worth and life to him, it proves that he believes in him, and he believes it incomparably.

As long as the emperor believes it, Xiao Zhang can let go of his hands and feet.

There is another thing, that is, Huang Guozhong's rebellion, Xiao Zhang believes that Huang Guozhong is very likely to launch a coup d'état tonight, and his only way is to use the talisman in his hand to mobilize the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed around the soul capital to besiege the soul capital.

Moreover, Xuanyuan Jue is now Huang Guozhong's protégé, so it is very likely that Huang Guozhong's coup d'état will be used to completely eliminate the Praetorian Guards.

Tonight, eventful night.

Feeling that the time was almost up, Xiao Zhang issued the first military order since he became the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and all the 10,000 Praetorian Guards guarding the palace gathered in the square outside the south gate of the palace, on the grounds that they wanted to make a speech on their posts.

This order is undoubtedly an absurd order, all the Praetorian guards guarding the palace are concentrated outside the south gate, then the other three gates of the palace will become a defensive vacuum, and if there is a foreign army attacking at this time, the palace will be in danger.

However, for Xiao Zhang, this was very beneficial to his plan, so that all the Praetorian Guards could be concentrated, and the target would be concentrated, and the attack on the target would be much easier.

It's just that most of the Praetorian Guards are the prince's people, and if the prince knew Xiao Zhang's intentions, he should never agree, but Xiao Zhang concluded that the actual situation was exactly the opposite, because the prince also wanted to take the opportunity to use the Praetorian Guard to get rid of Xiao Zhang.

The crown prince knew Xiao Zhang's strength, and only by concentrating all the forces of the Praetorian Guards in all the palaces could he kill Xiao Zhang, otherwise, a small fight would not pose a threat to Xiao Zhang at all.

Therefore, Xiao Zhang concluded that after the prince learned of his order, he would definitely not obstruct it, but would try his best to facilitate it.

Sure enough, after Xiao Zhang's order was issued, the Praetorian Guards were quickly and successfully assembled, and 10,000 Praetorian Guards gathered in the square outside the south gate and lined up in a neat square.

Xiao Zhang stood on the tower of the South Gate City, facing the 10,000 well-equipped and powerful Praetorian Guards, and began to speak.

His speech was nothing more than some innocuous emotion, boring, he was delaying time, he was waiting for Xuanyuan to arrive. He had gathered all his targets, just waiting for Xuanyuan to clear the operation.

And the 10,000 Praetorian Guards had obviously received the prince's orders, staring at Xiao Zhang one by one, and they might rush towards Xiao Zhang at any time.

Half an hour has passed, Xiao Zhang's speech is still continuing, naturally it is still some boring nonsense, he is trying to delay time, but the 10,000 Praetorian Guards in the square seem to be unable to stop it, just wait for the prince to give an order, they will kill Xiao Zhang with all their might.

Xiao Zhang was also very anxious, and while speaking, he kept looking into the distance, but in that deep night, where was the shadow of Xuanyuan Decision?

But in any case, Xiao Zhang still believes in Xuanyuan's decision, the reason is inexplicable, it is just an inexplicable trust.

Finally, the Praetorian Guards received the order of the prince, and they couldn't wait to rush towards Xiao Zhang, one by one, violently, wielding sophisticated magic weapons, and shouting like thunder!

Xiao Zhang sighed and closed his eyes, at this moment, he still chose to believe in Xuanyuan Decision, he knew that Xuanyuan Decision would definitely come in time.

Sure enough, at this moment, I heard an even more shocking shout suddenly sounded in mid-air, this kind of shout was a hundred times sharper than the murderous aura of the Praetorian Guard, because this was the cry of a real battle-hardened warrior!

Xiao Zhang slowly opened his eyes, only to see Xuanyuan standing in the air in white clothes, the mouth of the storage bag in his hand was wide open, and the black-pressed soldiers poured down from it, all of them were fierce tigers down the mountain, unstoppable!

50,000 elite soldiers! Xuanyuan decided to use Huang Guozhong's talisman to transfer 50,000 elite soldiers!

In front of these real warriors, the perennial pampered Praetorian Guards have no power to resist at all, and the Praetorian Guards at this moment are like live targets, struggling and wailing in the slashing of the elite army.

Xiao Zhang let out a sigh of relief, looked at Xuanyuan in the air, and nodded with a smile.

This was not a battle at all, but a simple massacre, and the 50,000 elite soldiers, with their absolute strength and numerical superiority, quickly slaughtered the poor 10,000 Praetorian Guards.
