"What?!"
After hearing the report from the chamberlain, Emperor Yongping, who was sitting firmly on the dragon throne, suddenly stood up.
"This is impossible!"
Prince Yu, who was the Zongren's Zongren Mansion, was panicked and completely stunned by the news.
The Zongren Mansion was breached and the felons were rescued. As the Zongren Mansion's Zongling, Prince Yu must bear the responsibility.
"Your Majesty, please issue an order to seal the city gates and capture King Yan throughout the city!"
Rather than holding King Yu accountable, the top priority is to find the rescued King Yan.
The eldest princess was in a really bad mood at the moment, very bad.
King Yan was rescued. It would be easy to escape from the capital. If he is lurking in the capital, then King Yan will definitely look for her if he wants revenge.
The betrayal of Leng Xi, the deputy general of the Whirlwind Cavalry, and the surrender of the four commanders of the Northwest Army were all planned by her.
The eldest princess really had trouble sleeping and eating when she thought that she had another powerful enemy hiding in the dark.
The Whirlwind Rider is the support of King Yan.
In the eyes of many people, the Tornado Cavalry is equal to King Yan's private soldier.
In fact, the original Tornado Cavalry was indeed the private soldier of King Yan. However, after Jie Yun Dao colluded with Hell to assassinate King Yan, King Yan managed to escape and later led the Tornado Cavalry to exact revenge on Hell.
In that revenge, most of the Tornado Cavalry was lost.
The subsequent Cyclone Riders are all newly recruited soldiers.
King Yan trusted Leng Ci and handed over the matter to Leng Ci.
He had no idea that Leng Ci had already betrayed his trust and secretly dismissed all the veterans of the Tornado Cavalry who were loyal to King Yan and returned home.
The new Tornado Cavalry is no longer the one under the control of King Yan.
This is also the reason why Leng Ci can easily backstab King Yan.
But without the Tornado Rider, is King Yan really alone
The answer is naturally no.
The Tornado Cavalry is the strongest cavalry force in the northwest town army. King Yan has been guarding the border in Longxi Mansion for more than ten years, and the Tornado Cavalry has changed several groups of people. And those retired veterans of the Tornado Cavalry were absolutely true to their loyalty to King Yan.
Originally, the eldest princess wanted to find an opportunity to slowly purge the veterans of the Cyclone Riders, but before she could launch her plan, King Yan was actually rescued!
Being able to break through the sect's mansion while still in the capital city is not something that ordinary people can do.
Even if the veterans of the Tornado Riders gathered together, it would be impossible to accomplish this without alerting the Imperial City Division.
But in fact, the Imperial City Division did not receive any news before this.
"Preach my will and seal the city gate!"
"Move troops into the city and investigate for me. Even if the capital is turned upside down, we must find King Yan!"
Emperor Yongping listened to the words of the eldest princess and quickly issued the decree.
The meeting dispersed.
Everyone is in a hurry.
The eldest princess walked faster. After leaving the palace, she immediately led her team of female guards and headed towards the Imperial City.
Someone attacked the clan mansion, but the Imperial City Department, the yamen that monitors the capital, did not receive any news. In the eyes of the eldest princess, this was because the Imperial City Department was incompetent.
…
Xu Mansion, the courtyard where Antai Gong Xu Yuanzu is located, in a quiet house.
The haggard-looking King Yan sat quietly on the chair, his eyes very sharp.
He was blindfolded from the time he was rescued from the Zongren Mansion dungeon, and was not until he was sent to this room that the black cloth bag covering his face was removed.
But, no one talked to him.
King Yan, you are a battle-hardened man, not an inexperienced young man.
He knew very well that since this man had arranged for someone to rescue him, he would definitely come to see him. No matter what the other party's purpose is, everything will eventually become clear when the two parties meet.
This wait is an hour.
When Xu Yuanzu appeared in front of King Yan, King Yan would be lying if he said he was not surprised.
Xu Yuanzu, the new Duke of An Tai.
He was a descendant of the Xu family from Xujiazhuang on the Weihe River. For a special reason, he came to the capital and became a duke.
"Who are you?"
After being shocked, King Yan naturally understood that this person's identity was definitely not just a descendant of the Xu family, and there must be something he didn't know about it.
"It doesn't matter who I am!"
Xu Yuanzu smiled slightly, "It's you, Li Zhen, do you accept your fate?"
Accept your fate
King Yan did not respond.
Accept fate
How could he accept his fate
But if he doesn't accept his fate, what can he do
Frankly speaking, to this day, he still doesn't know how he went from having an absolute advantage to being a prisoner.
He really didn't expect Leng Ci's betrayal.
But with Leng Jue's betrayal first, King Yan was not too surprised.
What King Yan couldn't accept the most was that Tornado Cavalry actually followed Leng Ci and abandoned him.
"Are you confused about how you ended up in this situation?"
Xu Yuanzu looked at King Yan with a smile.
King Yan nodded.
Xu Yuanzu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "The Tornado Rider has made you Li Zhen the God of War. So, do you still remember how the original Tornado Rider came about?"
"Where did today's Tornado Rider come from?"
After just two simple questions, King Yan's eyes widened and he suddenly realized.
He finally understood what was wrong with him.
Once upon a time, the Tornado Rider was built by him. He and the Tornado Rider ate, slept, and trained together. Since when did he become estranged from the Tornado Rider
King Yan began to reflect deeply.
Xu Yuanzu did not have time to continue to reflect with King Yan, but coughed lightly and said: "Li Zhen, do you know that just at the court not long ago, the eldest princess suggested that you assist a prince to lead the Whirlwind Cavalry and The northwest town army attacked the Japanese country."
"Can she be so kind?"
After hearing Xu Yuanzu's words, King Yan responded coldly.
"Do you think this is the kindness of the eldest princess?"
"do not think so!"
Although King Yan didn't know why Leng Ci betrayed him, he thought it had something to do with the eldest princess.
This good aunt of his is really a woman who is not inferior to men.
"If you go to sea with the army, then none of the veterans of your Tornado Cavalry will be spared."
"This is the purpose of the eldest princess."
Xu Yuanzu spoke simply.
King Yan looked at Xu Yuanzu coldly and said, "Then, what is your purpose?"
It’s important to know yourself!
Xu Yuanzu suddenly appeared from Xujiazhuang on the Weihe River and had no friendship with King Yan. But under such circumstances, Xu Yuanzu actually risked the crime of deceiving the emperor, let people break into the clan mansion, and robbed him from the dark dungeon.
As the saying goes, showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
"If I said that I wanted to destroy the country of the Tang Dynasty, would you believe it?"
Xu Yuanzu looked at King Yan calmly and explained his purpose.
"I believe!"
King Yan and Xu Yuanzu looked at each other for a while, and finally nodded.
"So, can you and I cooperate?"
Xu Yuanzu looked squarely at King Yan for the first time.
Because, he found that King Yan really believed what he said. (End of chapter)
