Chapter 330: The Four Seas Rise to Peace
Xiao Jingcong saw that Chen Dutong, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, blocked the way of their group, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Chen Dutong, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Hmph, Xiao Jingcong of the Zhenguo General's Mansion intends to rebel, and he is hereby arrested by the emperor's holy decree!" After saying that, Chen Du waved his hand in unison, and those royal forest soldiers pointed their spears at Xiao Jingcong one after another.
"Presumptuous! Prince Xiao has just pacified the northern frontier, which is a great achievement, how can he rebel? ! Let's go meet the emperor! Mo Yun snorted coldly and wanted to take the road away, but those Imperial Forest Soldiers really fought at them, and Mo Yun had no choice but to wait for him to retreat, looking at Xiao Jingcong, seeking his meaning.
Xiao Jingcong put on a straight face and ordered everyone, "Don't resist, everyone. Avoid unnecessary sacrifices. After speaking, Xiao Jingcong walked in front of Chen Dutong and said to him: "Chen Dutong, this king will go with you, my subordinates are all innocent, and please Chen Dutong don't embarrass them!" ”
When Chen Dutong heard this, he smiled proudly, "Lord Xiao, please come here!" ”
"Lord Wang, you can't go with them!"
"Yes, yes, lord, if you go with him, you will definitely die......"
Mo Yun and a group of henchmen and guards behind him persuaded one after another, Xiao Jingcong stopped slightly, but did not look back, hesitated for a while, and finally followed Chen Dutong in the direction of the main hall without looking back.
Chen Dutong did not stop, and directly led Xiao Jingcong into the main hall, where Xiao Jingcong saw the second prince Xiao Yuxian.
At this moment, Xiao Yuxian has changed into a prince python robe and sat on a high position, looking like a king in the world.
Seeing Xiao Jingcong coming, Xiao Yuxian glanced at him coldly, hooked the corners of his lips, and said with a laugh: "Brother Xiao Huang, don't come unharmed!" I really didn't expect you to leave Northern Xinjiang alive! ”
After speaking, Xiao Yuxian glanced at Chen Dutong, "Chen Dutong, there's nothing for you here, go and guard the door!" ”
"Yes, Your Highness the Prince!" Chen Dutong squinted and smiled, bowed respectfully, and then withdrew from the main hall and closed the door of the main hall.
On the huge hall, at this moment, only Xiao Jingcong and Xiao Yuxian were left facing each other there. Xiao Yuxian got up from the throne, walked down the steps, came to Xiao Jingcong's face, stared at Xiao Jingcong deeply, and said with a faint smile: "But Xiao Jingcong, Xiao Jingcong, you are a step too late after all, and now I am the prince of Da Xiao, and I can kill you at any time." ”
Xiao Yuxian said as he gestured to Xiao Jingcong, "However, if you are willing to surrender to Prince Chengben, you are still Prince Xiao of the Zhenguo General's Mansion?" How is it? ”
"Hmph, thief of the country, I, Xiao Jingcong, can serve my life. Sooner or later, the Great Depression will perish in your hands! Xiao Jingcong said solemnly, without the slightest intention of surrendering.
Xiao Yuxian's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he pointed at Xiao Jingcong and scolded: "Xiao Jingcong, as the second prince of Xiao State, the position of the crown prince should have been mine, and now I am just getting back what I deserve, what is wrong with me?" ”
"Hmph, is this what the emperor meant? If not, what are you not forcing the palace? Xiao Jingcong was-for-tat, and he didn't leave any affection for Xiao Yuxian at all.
Xiao Yuxian's face turned blue with anger, and he grinned at Xiao Jingcong and snorted: "Xiao Jingcong, do you sincerely want to go against this prince?" ”
Xiao Jingcong simply closed her eyes, too lazy to continue talking to Xiao Yuxian.
"Good! Good! Seeing this, Xiao Yuxian trembled with anger, clenched his fists suddenly, and then said coldly: "Xiao Jingcong, this prince has already given you a chance, you forced me!" Someone! ”
Chen Dutong, who was guarding the door, heard Xiao Yuxian's voice, and immediately pushed the door and broke in, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen is here!" ”
"Chen Dutong, Xiao Jingcong of the Zhenguo General's Mansion intends to rebel, assassinate the prince, quickly take him down, put him in the prison, and behead him on a certain day to show the public!"
"Yes, Weichen Command!" After speaking, Chen Dutong pushed Xiao Jingcong out of the main hall.
……
Outside the main hall, Mo Yun knew that Xiao Jingcong was in great danger here, and he was afraid that he had already fallen into Xiao Yuxian's trap, and he could only sit and wait for death if he continued to stay here. Thinking of this, Mo Yun glanced at the guards behind him, and then quietly took out a dagger from his boots, quickly eliminated the royal forest soldiers in front of him, and after snatching the weapons in their hands, he rushed out of the palace directly.
By the time the Imperial Forest Army's archery team was transferred, Mo Yun had already fled, and successfully escaped from the palace with the pair of guards, and came to the outside of the city to report to Bai Qian and Yan Zixi.
When Yan Zixi, who was stationed in the barracks outside the city, learned the news from Mo Yun that Xiao Jingcong had been arrested by Xiao Yuxian, she almost fainted.
Mo Yun directly proposed to kill the army to the palace, directly forced Xiao Yuxian to comply, and let Xiao Jingcong go, but was rejected by Bai Qian.
"Xiaoyun, if we do this, we will only be crowned with the title of rebel army, and the division will be unknown, absolutely not!"
"But the prince is already in prison, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and if he continues to delay, he is afraid that he will be more auspicious and less auspicious......"
"You're right, but we can't be impulsive, and the top priority should be to contact other princes and ministers in the court."
Yan Zixi heard their discussion, and a figure suddenly appeared in her mind, Xiao Jingcong had also told her, if he really had an accident one day, then there was at least one more trustworthy person in the entire capital, this person was none other than Xiao Yuyan, the fourth prince. 3800
Thinking of this, Yan Zixi proposed her idea to Bai Qian and Mo Yun, saying that she was going to ask to see Xiao Yuyan and begging him to come to her rescue.
Although Bai Qian and Mo Yun were worried about Yan Zixi's safety, they could only reluctantly agree under Yan Zixi's strong request, and Mo Yun escorted her into the Four Princes.
That night, under the protection of Mo Yun, Yan Zixi successfully sneaked into the Four Princes' Mansion, and at this moment, the Four Princes' Mansion was guarded by Xiao Yuxian's Imperial Forest Army, so it took a lot of effort to get in.
finally sneaked in, and was almost regarded as an assassin by Xiao Yuyan. Fortunately, Xiao Yuyan recognized Yan Zixi, which avoided a misunderstanding.
Yan Zixi directly explained the purpose of this trip to Xiao Yuyan, and after Xiao Yuyan listened, his face was sad.
"Zixi, do you know that now that the second emperor brother has mastered the situation in the capital, even my mansion is surrounded by his people, I'm afraid I can't do anything......"
As soon as Yan Zixi heard this, she immediately knelt in front of Xiao Yuyan, "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, I beg you, please save Jing Cong!" If he has some three strengths and two weaknesses, I don't want to live alone...... What's more, think about it, if Jing Cong dies, do you think the second prince will let you, the fourth emperor, go? ”
"This ...... Zixi, you get up and speak first. Xiao Yuyan helped Yan Zixi up, sighed, and said leisurely: "Zixi, why don't I know what you said?" It's just that now that the general trend has been decided, there are only a few hundred guards in my house, and it is really difficult to fight against the second emperor brother? ”
"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, as long as you are willing to come to the rescue, we will take care of the rest!" Yan Zixi said confidently to Xiao Yuyan.
Xiao Yuxian was silent for a moment, and finally nodded and agreed to Yan Zixi's request......
……
In the middle of the night, the lights in the capital were bright, and there was a sense of slaughter everywhere.
On this night, Xiao Yuyan, the fourth prince of Great Xiao, and Xiao Jingcong's troops outside the city successfully drove the troops outside the city into the capital.
The Imperial Guards guarding the palace were barely aware of it, and they were strangled by the soldiers who had just come down from the battlefield.
The fourth prince, Xiao Yuyan, led all the soldiers to kill the prison. The soldiers guarding the prison saw that the general situation was gone, and before they could resist, they directly surrendered.
There, Yan Zixi finally met Xiao Jingcong.
"Jingcong!"
As soon as the prison guard opened the door of the prison, Yan Zixi couldn't wait to throw herself into Xiao Jingcong's arms and cried loudly.
"Woo woo woo, Jing Cong, you scared me to death, you know?" Xiao Jingcong was crying there while squeezing her little fist and pounding Xiao Jingcong's chest.
Yan Zixi, who Xiao Jingcong hugged tightly, smiled bitterly, and said with a doting face: "Xi'er, I'm sorry, when you're worried!" It's okay, it's okay, I promise you for my husband that we won't be separated again in the future! ”
"Jing Cong...... Uh-huh...... Jingcong, don't lie to me anymore, woo woo woo woo ......" Yan Zixi snuggled in Xiao Jingcong's arms, feeling this moment of tranquility.
Xiao Jingcong calmed Yan Zixi for a while, and then said softly: "Xi'er, there is one last thing to do for your husband, after this is done, will your husband go back to the mountains and forests with you?" ”
"Really? Jingcong, are you telling the truth? Yan Zixi raised her head suddenly, looked at Xiao Jingcong incredulously and asked.
She used to think that Xiao Jingcong was deliberately comforting herself, but she didn't expect Xiao Jingcong to always remember this little wish in her heart.
"Well, Xi'er, this is a promise made to you by my husband, waiting for me!" Xiao Jingcong said and handed Yan Zixi to Bai Qian.
Then he and Xiao Yuyan led the army straight to the palace and forced the second prince Xiao Yuxian to step down from the throne.
……
The capital of the Great Xiao Kingdom, the palace hall of the capital.
At this moment, Xiao Yuxian was sitting on the throne, listening to the shouts of killing outside the door, and suddenly laughed wildly there.
Soon, Xiao Jingcong and Xiao Yuyan led the guards into the main hall.
"Xiao Yuxian, you insist on going your own way, framing Zhongliang, and falsely preaching the holy decree, which is already a big crime, and you don't quickly come down from the throne to ambush the crime!"
Xiao Jingcong held the Hongyan Sword in his hand, his eyes were deep, staring at Xiao Yuxian who was sitting on the throne, and scolded coldly.
"Hahahaha, Xiao Jingcong, it's you again! Why is it a good thing for you to be bad for Prince Ben every time?! Isn't I, Xiao Yuxian, qualified to be the emperor of Da Xiao? Xiao Yuxian laughed maniacally, but tears couldn't help but fall in his eyes.
