Yu Biegu unexpectedly chopped off Chi Fengdian's head with a knife. The generals were shocked, but they quickly drew their swords and faced Yu Biegu. More than a dozen knives trapped Yu Biegu. Yu Biegu's expression did not change. As if nothing had happened, he took out a letter from his arms. The letter had turned yellow and had obviously been there for many years. He carefully took out the letter paper inside, unfolded it, and said loudly: "The Emperor's decree: The Commander-in-Chief of Yulin Camp has Anyone who rebels will be killed immediately with the Silver Sword as his nickname, and the Yulin camp will be taken over by the Silver Sword holder. I appreciate this!"
Yu Biegu raised his arm, shook the letter in his hand, and said loudly: "This is the handwriting of the late emperor. As soon as the silver sword comes out, it will be time to kill Chi Fengdian. I have been ordered by the late emperor, who dares to resist the order?"
A general dressed as a deputy commander stared at Yu Biegu coldly and sneered: "I don't understand what you mean!"
"Vice Commander Qiao, do you want me to read it again?" Yu Biegu looked sternly: "The late emperor left a will. If Chi Fengdian is loyal to Dachu, the silver sword will never come out. Once the silver sword appears, it will be Chi Fengdian." When Dian rebels, he will be killed without mercy."
Vice Commander Qiao glanced at Qining and said coldly: "Who knows whether the so-called testament in your hand is true or false? If it was forged by someone with ulterior motives, could it be...!"
Yu Biegu turned the letter to Vice Commander Qiao and said sternly: "You dare to disobey me even though I have a jade seal stamped on you?"
Everyone was staring at the letter. They had already seen the jade seal stamped on it. Many people looked hesitant. Vice Commander Qiao's lips curled up, but he still said bravely: "Even if this edict is true, is it in Commander Chi's hands?" Is the edict false? The emperor has an edict to capture the traitor Qi Ning, but you said that the military power of Yulin Camp will be handed over to the hands of those holding silver swords. Doesn't it mean that the traitor and traitor will take control of Yulin Camp? "
Qi Ning sneered and said: "Treason and traitor? Xiao Shaozong held the emperor hostage with the intention of usurping the throne. You are the Royal Yulin Guards, the most important army of the country. Now I want to use you to fight against the rebellion. Who is willing to save the country in danger and obey my orders?"
Yu Biegu was the first to kneel down on one knee: "The last general is willing to follow the country and rectify chaos!"
As soon as he knelt down, the others looked at each other in confusion, and then many people knelt down. Upon seeing this, most of the surrounding Yulin guards immediately knelt down, but Vice Commander Qiao and some of the soldiers were still hesitant.
"Qiao Xu, Yuan Xingtong...!" Yu Biegu even counted the names: "Are you going to resist the decree?"
Vice Commander Qiao and others looked at each other, but still said: "Since it is the late emperor's edict, we naturally dare not disobey it, but... Whether Qin Ning is rebelling or not cannot be proven. We can follow the late emperor's edict to quell the rebellion, but we cannot obey Qin Ning. "The order." He glanced around and said loudly: "Brothers, the Emperor has decreed that Qining has been identified as a treason and traitor. If we follow his order, it will be equivalent to aiding the evil, and we will immediately become treason and traitor. You We all have parents, wives and children, what if...!" Before he could finish speaking, a spear penetrated Qiao Xu's body very roughly from his back.
Qiao Xu's face was twisted, and he turned his head to look back, but he only saw a general holding the other end of a spear, staring at him coldly.
Qiao Xu trembled: "He... He Qing...!" His body twitched twice on the spear, and he hung his head and died.
Qiao Xu was stabbed to death by a spear. Yuan Xingtong and others were shocked and rushed forward. Qi Ning shouted sternly: "Those who resist the decree will be killed without mercy!"
This sound was like thunder, and Yuan Xingtong and other unwilling generals were suddenly shocked. The hands that were about to lift the sword fell softly, but they dared not act rashly at this time.
The general who stabbed Qiao Xu to death with a spear said in a deep voice: "The late emperor has a decree. Anyone who refuses to obey the decree will be punished as treason and will be killed without mercy!"
Qi Ning let out a sigh of relief, knowing that this He Qing must have been a killing move arranged by the late emperor at Yulin Camp. This man was dressed in a uniform, but he was still a deputy commander. Naturally, the late emperor had already arranged it, and it was not just for one person, so as not to They were alone, so they arranged for the two of them to rely on each other.
Since the late Emperor was able to place great trust in these two people, he naturally trusted them very much.
Chi Fengdian and Qiao Xu fell to the ground one after another. How could anyone else dare to act rashly? No one knew if there were other people arranged by the late emperor in the Yulin camp. If they disobeyed orders at this time, they might end up like Qiao Xu. Everyone knelt on the ground and said in unison: "I obey the orders of the Duke!"
Qi Ning put away his sword and ordered: "The secret guards returned to their positions to protect the nobles in the palace. Deputy Commander He, have you seen the emperor?"
He Qing stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to the Duke of Guo, none of us have ever seen the Emperor. Previously, Chi Fengdian suddenly ordered that the Duke of Guo sneaked into the palace to assassinate the Emperor, and ordered Yu Linwei to break into the inner palace to search for the Duke of Guo. As long as we see the Duke of the country, we will kill him without mercy. He holds the decree issued by the emperor, but we don't know where the decree comes from."
Qi Ning nodded and said: "This is Xiao Shaozong's premeditated plan. Xiao Shaozong kidnapped the emperor with the intention of usurping the throne!"
"Xiao Shaozong?" He Qing frowned and said, "Half an hour ago, Xiao Shaozong had left the palace. The general saw it with his own eyes, and it was Chi Fengdian who personally escorted him out of the palace."
"Sure enough, he left." Qi Ning frowned and said, "Then the emperor is not with him?"
"He took several eunuchs out of the palace, but there was no trace of the emperor." He Qing said: "The general was still very surprised at the time why he left the palace in the middle of the night. As soon as he left, Chi Fengdian immediately ordered to break into the palace. palace."
Qi Ning thought that Qu Xiaocang's guess was indeed correct. The emperor was indeed not in the palace all the time. Otherwise, Xiao Shaozong would never have left the emperor in the palace when he left the palace. But he thought of a puppet pretending to be the emperor. But I don’t know if he also disguised himself as a eunuch and left the palace, and ordered: "Vice Commander He, please take some people into the palace to search to see if the emperor is in the palace. The others will return to the imperial city gate immediately. Without my order, no one can No trespassing is allowed, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"
He Qing cupped his hands and said: "Yes!" Then he called out names: "Yuan Xingtong, Chen Zhuang, Zhao Tianshun...!" After calling the names of more than ten people, the faces of these named people changed slightly, feeling that something was not going well. , and when He Qing named someone, he looked at that person. After the roll call was completed, he said: "My lord, these people are Chi Fengdian's confidants. It is not appropriate to let them continue to lead the army. The general will think...!"
"Deputy Commander He, although we followed Chi Fengdian's orders before, no one knew that Chi Fengdian was rebellious at that time." Yuan Xingtong said solemnly: "You, Deputy Commander He, seemed to be following Chi Fengdian's lead at that time. Now, now But you want to treat us differently, what are your intentions?"
"That's right. Do you want to hoe the traitor, or do you want to take advantage of the situation to seize power?" There were also generals following closely behind.
Those named were indeed promoted by Chi Fengdian, and they were all Chi Fengdian's cronies. A sudden change occurred tonight. Everyone was surprised and wanted to fight back, but Chi Fengdian and Qiao Xu were killed one after another. Qi Ning Everyone was watching eagerly. They didn't know how many people were from Qi Ning in the team. They didn't dare to act rashly. They just wanted to wait and see what happened and find an opportunity to attack again. Unexpectedly, He Qing suddenly called out everyone's names. These people He knew immediately that something was wrong. He Qing bluntly said that these people were Chi Fengdian's confidants. Now that Chi Fengdian was treated as a traitor and killed, no matter what the situation was, his group would never have any good results.
Those who can serve in the Yulin camp are all brave people. Instead of being captured and eaten by mermaids, it is better to fight to the death. These people immediately grasped the hilt of the knife.
Qi Ning watched with cold eyes, knowing that although Chi Fengdian was killed, the situation was not completely under control. If he was not careful, the situation was reversed. He saw Yuan Xingtong and others holding the hilt of the knife, knowing that once they made a move, the Yulin Wei Zhong The subordinates of Yuan Xingtong and others were indispensable. In the blink of an eye, there was a fight. Without hesitation, he stepped forward to bully, but the long sword that had been put away suddenly thrust out. His body was so fast that it was unbelievable. Many people had not seen clearly. What happened? With a "pop" sound, the long sword had pierced Yuan Xingtong's throat. Before Yuan Xingtong fell, Qi Ning had already pulled out the long sword from his throat. The sword light flashed, and two more generals were killed. Punctured throat.
There were exclamations everywhere.
Qi Ning's move shocked everyone. He put away his sword and said calmly: "Those whose names were called, please feel aggrieved for the moment. Someone comes, hand over their weapons, and tie them all up!"
Things have priorities. If it were normal times, Qining would never be able to kill someone so easily, but now is the time of urgency, and what is important is to kill people to establish prestige and suppress the Yulin Guards.
No matter what, the Habayashi Guards must not change and must keep the palace under control.
Qi Ning killed three people in a row, and the others had no intention of resisting. Yu Biegu waved his hand, and soldiers came forward and tied up all the people whose names were called. Qin Ning glanced at it and said: "After the rebellion, I will still ask you to return to Yulin Camp, but if you are disobedient, you will be killed immediately."
Yu Biegu said in a deep voice: "Hu Xin, lead the people to take them down and guard them closely. If anything goes wrong, come and see them!"
Immediately, everyone was taken into custody, and Yu Biegu ordered the soldiers to return to the city gate. Although the Yulin guards were horrified, they were well-trained after all. After giving the order, they immediately lined up and left. After a while, there were not many left.
Qi Ning did not delay in the palace, and ordered He Qing to lead people to search for the puppet in the palace. He followed Yu Biegu directly to the imperial city. There was still some time before dawn, and Qi Ning walked up to the high road. At the top of the imperial city wall, there were several city-defending crossbow machines. Qining stroked the crossbow machines and looked ahead. Under the imperial city, there was an empty space. Under the moonlight, the bluestone square under the imperial city glowed with a cold glow. light.
Fire appeared on the sky in the distance, and Qi Ning frowned. Yu Biegu, who was following Qin Ning, also frowned, squinted his eyes slightly, listened attentively, and soon frowned, whispering: "Master Guo, There is the sound of horse hooves!"
Without Yu Biegu's reminder, Qining had already heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. It was not the sound of a few horses or even dozens of horses, but the sound of hundreds of war horses galloping. He looked in the direction of the fire, his expression Coldly, a sneer appeared on his lips.
