Chapter 302: Let the Lord of Yongchen County lead the troops to rescue
At this moment, a huge signal flare rose into the sky, blooming in a beautiful arc in the air.
Feng Yuanqing looked up at the sky, his eyebrows raised, and a strange smile on the corner of his lips.
Soon, a procession appeared outside the city, these cavalrymen were all dressed in armor, armed with spears, tall and burly, at first glance they were not ordinary people, and the gates of the city had already been opened for them.
The team was menacing and headed straight in the direction of the palace.
Running all the way, no one stopped them, and the people in the palace were frightened when they saw this, and they fled from the palace one after another, hiding from the cavalry, and a catastrophe broke out, and a bloody storm began.
Feng Yuanqing stood at the door of the imperial study, witnessing all this, with a satisfied smile on his face.
The cavalry of Western Chu really deserves its reputation, just these people can suppress the five thousand forbidden troops in the palace, and they are also well-trained and have strong combat effectiveness, just like thousands of troops.
Feng Yuanqing had a gloomy smile on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that his plan was finally about to succeed.
"Your Majesty! This...... This is the cavalry of Western Chu? Feng Yuanqing actually united with Western Chu to attack our Shang Zhou? What do they want?" A group of important ministers surrounded the court and asked anxiously.
The emperor looked at all this calmly, and did not panic, he was silent for a moment before he spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, now is not the time to discuss this."
"Your Majesty, this ...... How the hell is this supposed to be?"
"Don't act rashly, the Lord of Yongchen has led his troops and is ready to go out at any time." The emperor said, "Now we just need to wait for the arrival of the Yongchen County Lord."
"What does the emperor mean...... Let the county lord of Yongchen lead his troops to resist the cavalry of Western Chu?"
"Hmm." The emperor nodded.
The ministers looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do for a while: "Your Majesty, the county lord of Yongchen is only a six-year-old girl, how can she lead the troops?"
"She's a woman, but she has a good mind." The emperor said, "Moreover, don't forget that Old Marquis Sheng is both civil and military."
"But...... Your Majesty!"
"That's it! You don't need to say more, I will let the Lord of Yongchen bring troops here, and you adults just wait for the news!" The emperor interrupted everyone.
"Your Ministers obey." The ministers had no choice but to agree, after all, this matter was related to the entire Shang Zhou, and they could not afford to hesitate more.
At the same time, Sheng Zhiyao in the Hou Mansion was getting ready to go.
"Master, Mei'er has sent a message that she can act." Hongxue stood next to Sheng Zhiyao and said.
"Hmm." Sheng Zhiyao nodded, her eyes flashing, "Since Feng Yuanqing asked the people of Western Chu to provoke first, then I don't mind returning the salute."
"Hongxue, guard the Hou Mansion and the Chenwang Mansion, there can be no mistakes." Sheng Zhiyao instructed.
"I understand."
"Let's go." Sheng Zhiyao turned around and walked towards the gate of the Hou Mansion, followed by the thirty-two guards of the Chenwang Mansion and the people of Li Cheng sent to her by the emperor before, although these people are all government soldiers now, they were all leaders in the army not long ago.
As soon as they walked to the gate of the mansion, the three brothers of the Sheng family also walked over.
"Sister, I'll go with you." Sheng Hancheng said, his tone firm.
"Good!"
"I won't go, I don't know martial arts, and if I go, I will cause trouble for you, but you don't have to worry about it in the house, I'm here." Sheng Hanmo patted Sheng Hancheng on the shoulder, signaling him to rest assured.
Sheng Hancheng nodded, "I will also protect my sister."
"Second brother, I'll go with you, there are grandfathers and housekeepers Li at home, as well as eldest brother, I'll help you." Sheng Hangu stood next to Sheng Zhiyao and said.
"Okay, you look far away, I'll go and help Yuanchen." Sheng Hancheng admonished.
"Got it." Sheng Hangu waved his hand and followed them out to meet the upcoming battle.
Sheng Hanmo watched Sheng Hancheng and them leave, his face showing a trace of bitterness, but soon, he reined in his emotions and returned to his previous calm.
"Close the door, they won't open the door until they come back." Sheng Hanmo commanded to the porter, and the porter hurriedly nodded yes.
In Qingliu Courtyard, Sheng Zhengye and Qi Xinyue were both by the old marquis's side.
Qi Xinyue looked worried and looked at Sheng Zhengye: "Zhengye, will this Yuanqing really do something to Yuanchen and Zhiyao?"
Sheng Zhengye held her hand and stroked it gently: "Don't panic Yue'er, don't think too much, everything will be fine."
Qi Xinyue approached him in his arms and muttered, "Zhengye, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of something wrong, she's only six years old!" Why let her go."
"No, no, don't worry." Sheng Zhengye comforted.
At this time, a subordinate hurriedly ran over and announced, "There are guards at the door who want to break in, I don't know who sent someone from which side, saying that they want to bring the county lord of Yongchen into the palace."
Old Marquis Sheng frowned, he didn't expect Feng Yuanqing to be so quick to hold back.
"Guard the gates of the house, and no one will come in, and if they attack the door, they will kill them." Sheng Zhengye ordered coldly.
"Yes!" The subordinate said yes and retreated.
Qi Xinyue had a sad face.
"Don't think about it, the soldiers will cover the water." Sheng Zhengye sighed, "Now that everyone is in the palace, the only thing we can do is to stay at home quietly so that they have no worries."
"Yes! Zhengye is right, we just need to guard this little family, and as for that family, it is up to the children themselves!" Old Marquis Sheng took a deep breath and looked calm.
Sheng Zhiyao and the others had just walked to the gate of the palace, and several guards immediately stepped forward to intercept her.
"Lord Yongchen! Please stay!" One of the guards stepped forward and bowed his hand, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty is invited."
"Who are you?" Sheng Zhiyao glanced at them and asked puzzled.
"This doesn't bother the Yongchen County Lord to worry about, Your Majesty will tell you the answer, and we don't dare to make claims." The guard said with a smile.
"Oh? Is it? The lord of this county wants to see which of your majesty is so bold as to stand in my way." Sheng Zhiyao hooked her lips and laughed, she knew that Feng Yuanqing would definitely come to her.
"This ...... The subordinates dare not disobey the holy decree, and I hope that the county lord will not be embarrassed!" The guard said in embarrassment.
"You say I'm embarrassed by you? The lord of this county sees that you don't take this lord in his eyes at all!" Sheng Zhiyao snorted coldly, "Since that's the case, then don't blame the county lord for being polite!" Li Cheng, take it for this county."
"Yes, Lord Shire!" Li Cheng answered, and with a wave of his hand, Li Cheng and the guards behind him swarmed up.
"Bold! How dare you!" Seeing this, the other two guards immediately stepped forward to stop them.
Li Cheng turned around, and the sword in his hand stabbed one of them in the throat.
"Poof!" Blood gushed out.
Seeing this, another guard was horrified, and hurriedly drew the sword at his waist and stabbed towards Li Cheng.
