Chapter 385: Imperial City Hidden Guard
Su Jin was surprised.
"Fake?" Unexpectedly, Chu Ning was thinking about this matter, Su Jin was slightly stunned, remembering the five thousand imperial city guards mentioned by Chu Ning before, "How does Your Highness know?" ”
"The hidden guards are the guardians of the royal family, and there is turmoil in the palace, so it is impossible for them not to show up to quell the chaos." Chu Ning frowned slightly, "There should have been before, I may not know which generation will end." ”
The Imperial City has raised so many hidden guards, although it is not large compared to the number of troops, but because of the high requirements for the combat skills of hidden guards, whether it is a single soldier or a platoon formation, it is far more than the combat effectiveness of a hundred thousand elite soldiers.
Naturally, the amount of energy and silver required was also more expensive than raising an army of 100,000 soldiers and horses.
For the imperial court, this expenditure is a lot of pressure, and it is good when the treasury is abundant, but if the treasury is tight, the emperor will be so worried that he can't sleep.
Moreover, the hidden guards did not go to the battlefield, and their only function was to guard the imperial city to prevent the suppression of possible rebellions in the palace at a critical time - the cost was huge, but it rarely came in handy, and it was a bit wasteful.
Therefore, it is normal to terminate the cultivation of hidden guards in a certain dynasty.
"If the rumors are false, then Your Highness should be more relieved." Su Jin smiled with his eyes, and casually hooked his fingers around Chu Ning's hair, "If this Shadow Guard army really exists, then as the guardians of the royal family, their combat strength must be very strong, and if they really mess up at that time, there will definitely be countless casualties." ”
His eyes were slightly raised, and he looked at Chu Ning's face looking extremely cold and dusty under the light: "Without this army, His Royal Highness has already controlled the imperial city at this time, and Chu Huan has no power to fight back." ”
Chu Ning glanced at him: "Even if there is this army, Chu Huan has no power to fight back." ”
Chu Huan was poisoned and was already doomed to death.
Su Jin was strangely silent for a moment, and said in a somewhat hesitant tone: "Your Highness, do you say that it is possible...... Chu Huan really asked people to detoxify him in order to survive? Cough...... That, aren't there still a few men in the Changxi Palace? ”
As soon as these words came out, Chu Ning's expression suddenly became strange.
Su Jin looked a little embarrassed, and said with a dry smile: "Actually, I'm just curious. ”
"The person who was poisoned was Chu Huan, not anyone else." Chu Ning's tone was indifferent and calm, and he couldn't hear the slightest abnormality, "Under the premise of being rational and controllable, no one would do that kind of thing to the king of a country." Because even if the detoxification is done, there will be no reactive power and a dead end. ”
Su Jin realized when he heard this.
Yes, he ignored that.
Chu Huan is the king of a country, not to mention whether it is true that he can cure the poison by acknowledging the man, even if it is true, the few people who stay in that palace, who dares to be this antidote person?
Even if Chu Huan is saved, this incident is definitely a shame that cannot be erased for the rest of his life for the Son of Heaven.
None of the few who remained in the temple would survive at that time.
But they are no longer destined to live, whether they are detoxified or not.
The house is closed tonight, there is no water, no food, how many days can they survive?
Thinking of this, Su Jin sighed heavily: "I didn't expect this day to come so quickly. ”
Chu Ning didn't expect it, but it didn't matter.
It's just a few days of chaos, and when the king of Qingjun and Chu Yucang come back, the imperial city will soon restore the previous order.
In a few days, as soon as the holy decree of the Empress Dongling arrives, the dust of the Xiling Dynasty will settle, and the two tombs in the north and south will stir up thousands of huge waves.
