Chapter 281: It Begins
He still remembered the words of the person who gave him the idea, as long as he didn't let go of the fact that he didn't know the whereabouts of the queen, even if Rong Yuan and the others knew that he had bad intentions in order to calm the crowd, they would still negotiate terms with him and settle the queen's matter in private.
But why was Rong Yuan's reaction not at all what they expected?
Looking at his shocked and incredulous gaze, Rong Yuan smiled coldly: "Being scolded by others, what's wrong with me arresting a person with ill intentions?"
After speaking, Rong Yuan's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his dark pupils looked straight at Wei Guoping, making him feel furious in his heart.
"The queen colluded with Beiqiu, and the evidence is conclusive. As her brother, don't you know anything about Oudu? What is the intention of inciting the masses to embarrass the royal family at a time when you are about to face the attack of Beiqiu at any time? I can't think of any reason for you to do this, except that you are submissive to Beiqiu's minions. ”
As Rong Yuan's words fell, the surrounding Praetorian Guards also launched an attack and rushed towards Wei Guoping's people.
"No, you can't do this!Rong Han, are you also messing around with the three princes? You are cruel to Zhongliang, and you will be punished!" Wei Guoping asked Rong Han for help in a panic.
But Rong Han called Rong Yuan to come, the purpose was to let him solve Wei Guoping. And how will you help him?
Although Rong Yuan's actions are too strong, I am afraid that there will be a place for those who have a heart to use, and it is not easy to stop him now. So when Wei Guoping asked him for help, he made an indifferent look and said, "Lord Wei, Yuan'er is reasonable. As the empress's elder brother, how could you not know what she was doing, and you are still engaged in infighting at such a critical juncture, do you want to weaken my Great Xia strength for Beiqiu?"
At the same time that Rong Han said this, Wei Guoping and the people he brought with him were also subdued by the Praetorian Guards and the Silver Armor Corps.
Ordering the guards to press all this group of people into the prison, Rong Yuan turned to face the lively crowd outside the palace gate, and his cold gaze slowly swept over them. Everywhere they looked, it was as if there were thousands of pounds of boulders pressing on their hearts, making people nervous and speechless.
"The queen colluded with Beiqiu for treason, and after the crime was exposed, she absconded in fear of crime. From now on, all those who intercede for the queen will be punished with the same crime. I don't want to be on guard against cold knives from my own when facing Beiqiu. ”
After saying this, Rong Yuan slowly walked across the palace gate and returned to the palace. Gu Lingzhi, who was looking at him worriedly, smiled lightly. The gentle eyebrows and eyes are like two people before.
"You just arrested them like this, aren't you afraid that others will use this as a lever?"
"What are you afraid of? If anyone is not convinced, just continue to arrest him. Rong Yuan replied nonchalantly, grabbed Gu Lingzhi's hand and put it on his lips and kissed it. The mood that was a little depressed by Wei Guoping before instantly became beautiful.
"Why are you like this?" Gu Lingzhi was made to cry and laugh by him: "Aren't you afraid that it will really cause public outrage?"
"No, it won't. Rong Yuan replied quite discretionally: "Now that the situation is tense, Beiqiu may attack us at any time, and those with brains know that the most important thing now is unity." But Wei Guoping did this kind of thing, intending to split Great Xia at such a sensitive time. Even if anyone believed him, they would not be on his side at such a time. ”
Rong Yuan is not exaggerating at all, as the mother of a country, the queen has used her position to recruit many families to serve her over the years. If these families rebelled, although it would not cause Great Xia to suffer heavy losses, it could be regarded as a kind of split.
It is very likely that Wei Guoping came here today to give a reasonable excuse to those who want to rebel. This is also the reason why Rong Han allowed the other party to shout at the gate of the palace, but did not take him down. Pulling a hair and moving his whole body, he didn't dare to bet on whether those families would follow the queen to rebel.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that Rong Yuan, who was called by Rong Han to solve the problem together, solved Wei Guoping in less than a quarter of an hour, which was so simple and rude that they doubted their IQ.
Rong Yuan's solution was simple and brutal, but it was extremely effective.
Regardless of whether the people gathered at the gate of the palace were moved by Wei Guoping's hour-long shouting, under Rong Yuan's strong order, they could only be spectators from the wall.
What happened at the gate of the palace soon spread throughout Chiyang City.
In an inconspicuous inn in the city, a woman about thirty years old and with an ordinary appearance that people would forget at a glance listened to the hug of a subordinate in front of her, and smashed the teacup in her hand to the ground with hatred.
"Bastard! how dare he?"
The young man who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old on the other side looked at his subordinates with the same ugly face: "Rong Yuan, he really took my uncle away and released such words?"
"Yes...... Yes. The guard in charge of finding out the news replied cautiously, for fear of angering the two masters by using a wrong word.
Since being smuggled out of the palace by Tianfeng Wei that day, the queen and the eldest prince have taken the Yi Rong Dan, which can temporarily change the appearance of people. I've been hiding in this inn. Inevitably someone found their traces, and even those families who were attached to Wei Guoping and her used special means to transmit news. How could they have thought that the plan they thought was foolproof, but it was snuffed out by Rong Yuan when it first began to unfold.
"This little bastard! I should have killed him while he was still young!" Empress Wei Shenglan said hatefully, looking at the man dressed as a scribe on the other side of the room.
"Patriarch Gu, what should we do now?"
"This ...... I have to discuss it with Beiqiu in the long run. Gu Rong frowned.
After waking up that day, Rong Yuannian didn't embarrass him much in front of him as Gu Lingzhi's father. It's just that after threatening him that he would not be allowed to use Gu Ling in the future, he found someone to throw him out of the palace.
Embarrassed, he returned to Beiqiu, thinking that he had no merit and hard work on this trip, but he didn't think about it, but he was angry with Pan Wenqian, who had no roots in his descendants. In front of the lord of Beiqiu, he took a copy of himself, and it was useless to describe him.
In order to stabilize his position in Beiqiu, he had to take the initiative to ask Ying to return to Great Xia again to assist the forces that had already defected to Beiqiu in Great Xia to weaken the strength of the Xia Kingdom. When he learned that the traitor of Xia Guo turned out to be the queen, Gu Rong was really taken aback. I also heard that Wei Shenglan was under house arrest in Yonghe Palace, and he had the intention of failing this mission again, but he saw Tianfengwei.
The woman who used to be the fiancée of the third prince was so haggard that she couldn't see the former scenery at all, Gu Rong recognized it for a long time, and then determined that the person who brought the queen out of the palace was Tianfengwei.
After that, it is to study how to weaken the strength of Great Xia, Gu Rong has been the patriarch for so many years, and there are naturally a lot of means and strategies. Soon he devised a plan for Wei Guoping to go to the palace gate and shout. And an in-depth analysis of the stakes. Even the reactions of Liang Rong Han and Rong Yuan were predicted. As a result, Rong Yuan's reaction was something they had never thought of, which put them in an embarrassment.
When the Xia Kingdom encountered trouble from within its own country for the first time, the country that bought the information of the traitor from Gu Lingzhi also encountered the same trouble. It's just that their solution is not as simple and crude as Rong Yuan.
For a time, except for Beiqiu and the countries that took refuge in Beiqiu, other countries were in turmoil. At this opportune moment, the first attack on North Hill since the conspiracy was exposed.
Several towns adjacent to the land of Beiqiu in the Liao Kingdom were attacked by Beiqiu, and in less than a day, three more cities fell into the hands of Beiqiu. When this news came out, it meant that the war between the countries and Beiqiu had officially begun.
As soon as Rong Yuan learned the news, he sent two of the squads of his Silver Armor Corps to the Muji Kingdom, which was intersecting with the Minglan Kingdom. Guard against Muji and Sanna taking advantage of the chaos to attack them.
He took Gu Lingzhi and half of the troops of the Silver Armor Corps. went to the junction of Great Xia and Great Yin. This is currently the only country that has been exposed to the public eye and turned to North Hill. Naturally, it is also the first target of some countries that dare not go directly to Beiqiu.
By the time Rong Yuan and the others arrived at Sambo Town, which was connected to the land of Great Yin, they were just in time for the first attack made by Great Yin towards the land of Xia.
Obviously, Da Yin had already expected that he would become the target of public criticism, and the border with Great Xia, which was second only to the Beiqiu powerhouse, had become the only battlefield.
"It's good to come!"
Yuanhang Lang, who led his team of 100 people, laughed, informed Rong Yuan, and rushed over with his team.
Not to be outdone, the rest of the squad followed, and one of them, dark-skinned, roared like a lean man from the coal pile, and his body suddenly swelled like an inflated balloon, more than doubling in size, and in fact rushed towards the enemy.
"This is Wu Ming, the captain of the third squad of the Silver Armor Corps, don't look at him as a thin monkey and no threat. That's because of the particularity of his family's exercises, once he exercises, the whole person will become in this form, and he is a battlefield killer who is very suitable for the battlefield. Rong Yuan leaned on Gu Lingzhi's ear and introduced to her the important people in his Silver Armor Corps one by one. There was undisguised pride in his eyes.
Don't look at the Silver Armor Corps, there are only one hundred and two people in each squad plus the captain and deputy captain, but these one hundred and two people are the best selected by him from countless soldiers.
Some of them may have average strength, but they have talents that cannot be ignored in other aspects.
With the addition of the Silver Armor Corps, the originally stubborn warband quickly presented a one-sided situation.
As Rong Yuan said, the people in his Silver Armor Corps were all good men with a top hundred, and they were like entering a no-man's land, and the soldiers of Da Yin quickly collapsed and retreated back in embarrassment.
"Rong Yuan, I didn't expect you to come so soon. ”
