Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Commander of the Five Battalions
"No, I need to immediately send someone to investigate Xia Du's details to see if he is involved with Dajin's people!"
After coming to such an astonishing inference, Xiao Hongyuan could no longer sit still.
Xia Ao got up, and then suddenly asked.
"Grandpa, if there is a big change in the imperial capital, will the army be divided?"
Xiao Hongyuan's face changed slightly, and he turned around and looked at Xia Ao in disbelief.
"Ao'er, you can't be confused, the forbidden army is pinched by His Majesty, and nearly half of the garrison guarding the imperial capital is controlled by His Majesty's henchmen......"
Xia Ao smiled, spread his hands and said innocently: "Grandpa is too worried, there is almost no power in his lonely hands, even if he wants to do something, he can't do it." ”
"Lone is just asking, if someone launches a palace mutiny, how will my Great Xia's army react?"
"After all, we need to guard against a few other people who would make such a dangerous move, right?"
Only then did Xiao Hongyuan breathe a sigh of relief and calm down.
"As long as His Majesty's prince ascends the throne, there will basically be no problems with the Quartet border army, they are all aware of the heavy responsibility they shoulder, and they will not let my Daxia border pass be threatened by foreign enemies because of the difference between relatives and aliens."
"Even if my grandfather's prestige in the border army is not low, even if I die, at most a few loyal entourages will sneak back to the imperial capital with a limited number of personal guards to ask for an explanation for me."
"Of course, there is also the possibility that no one moves, after all, people die like lights going out, who can say for sure this kind of thing?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Hongyuan's expression was slightly complicated.
After a slight pause, Xiao Hongyuan refreshed his spirits and continued to tell.
"As for the army of the five-party battalion, this is not very easy to say."
"The commander of the Chinese battalion is the hussar general Xia Delong, he is a member of the royal family, and he has no contact with you princes, but he cares most about the stability of Daxia."
"Therefore, if the palace change has already occurred and the ending has been decided, he should choose to acquiesce."
Xia Ao bowed slightly, Xia Delong was the uncle of the old emperor, and even the emperor dared to scold him.
However, as Xiao Hongyuan said, this person values the stability of Great Xia more than anyone else.
"The commander of the northern camp is Dong Xiang, the prince of Zhenguo and the general of Fenwei, he has always supported the third prince, if the crown prince or the fourth prince Xia Du launches a palace change, he may take action."
"But he's not stupid, the specifics should be okay depending on the situation. After all, if he was the only one to raise troops, it would be tantamount to looking for death! ”
Hearing Dong Xiang's name, Xia Ao's eyes flashed slightly.
If memory serves, he seems to have beaten this guy's son before?
"The commander of the southern battalion is General Wei Gu Yaoting, he is the biological father of the crown princess and the son-in-law of the prime minister, so he is naturally on the side of the prince."
"If it wasn't the crown prince who started the palace change, then he would definitely raise troops. After all, the crown prince is the orthodox prince, where can he tolerate others picking peaches? ”
Xia Ao nodded in agreement, but had other ideas in his heart.
"In the end, the commander of the Eastern Battalion is the cavalry general Xiao Zhijie, and the commander of the Western Battalion is Xiao Tianzong, the general of Yunlu Zhonglang. One of these two people is your uncle and the other is your uncle, so naturally they are on your side like my grandfather and me. ”
When mentioning these two people, although Xiao Hongyuan had no expression on his face, he couldn't hide the smugness in his eyes.
One door and three generals, what a dazzling glory?
In fact, the reason why the old emperor was jealous of him in every way, and he wanted to get rid of him quickly, but he never dared to do it, was it because he was worried about the existence of these two people?
"So, if you analyze it rationally, those few people shouldn't have the courage to launch a palace mutiny, even if they secretly control part of the forbidden army."
"Because as long as they dare to do this, as soon as the old man gives an order, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from the big battalions in the east and west will swarm in!"
After listening to Xiao Hongyuan's analysis, Xia Ao was convinced.
Others don't dare, but they dare themselves!
As long as the border army does not cause chaos, even if the large battalions from the north and south bring troops here, and they also have three large battalions, there is no need to be afraid at all.
Besides, the southern battalion may not be unable to fight for it.
And once the southern battalion does not move, with the strength of the northern battalion alone, will he dare to move?
After having the bottom in his heart, Xia Ao smiled.
"That being the case, there's really nothing to worry about."
Xiao Hongyuan was still worried about Xia Jue's affairs at this time, and he didn't stay long, and left soon.
As for Xia Ao, he is currently thinking about how to go to the Heavenly Prison to catch people.
After all, the second layer of the dungeon has been unsealed, and there are hundreds of prisoners in the Void Body Realm who can be imprisoned, and now only Zhou Ying has occupied one position, and there are still ninety-nine empty positions.
Ninety-nine Void Body Realm powerhouses, this is not easy to do, and I don't know how many are imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison of Great Xia?
Two quarters of an hour later, Xia Ao only took Zhou Ying out of the mansion, and he was going to see Shangguan Wan'er and Yuan Tiangang.
……
Anlie Palace.
Chamber.
Xia Jue sat on the chair expressionlessly, staring coldly at a blue-robed man with a mask on the other side of the table.
"You guys are too careless, everything was going very well, as long as Xia Ao is successfully assassinated, everything will develop according to plan!"
"But all of this has been ruined by you!"
The masked man snorted coldly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xia Jue, don't forget your identity!" ”
A flash of anger flashed in Xia Jie's eyes, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.
"That incident was indeed our negligence, but, who would have thought that Xiao Hongyuan, the old horseman, would be willing to arrange for a strong man in the Spirit Body Realm to secretly protect Xia Ao?"
"I didn't expect ......"
Xia Jue sneered, and then said indifferently: "That's it, anyway, it's not my fault in this matter, if they want to pursue it, they can only investigate you, and it has nothing to do with me!" ”
The masked man slowly turned around, and two ghostly rays suddenly shot out of his eyes, and after this ghostly light was projected on Xia Jie's body, it actually lifted Xia Du up slowly, and at the same time made Xia Jie's face look painful.
"Xia Jue, remember, since three years ago, you are no longer the noble prince of Great Xia, but a dog of my court! If you don't put yourself in the right position again, I don't mind letting you experience the pain of Ten Thousand Gu Devouring Souls again! ”
Hearing the words "Ten Thousand Gu Devouring Souls", Xia Jie's eyes suddenly swelled with fear, which actually made him forget the pain and abandon his dignity, and hurriedly struggled to nod.
Seeing this, the masked man snorted coldly, and then put away the ghost.
When Xia Jue was sweating profusely and slumped on the chair, the masked man spoke slowly.
"Be acquainted and honest, although you are my court's dog, as long as everything goes well, you can still be the master of Great Xia, and you can still enjoy all kinds of wonderful things."
Xia Jue gritted his teeth and nodded, panting and said in a deep voice: "Fang is my gaffe, because things are out of control, and I am also in a hurry......"
"The point is, what now? The plan to provoke them to infighting has failed, and I think the people of Dayue seem to be more inclined to Xia Ao, if it is ......"
"Don't worry, I've found a way to make amends, Xia Ao, I'm still going to die......"
The Masked Man smiled mysteriously.
