"I also want to know who it is!"
Xu Yuanzu was really unhappy at the moment.
He had just figured out what to do next, but now everything was in chaos.
Emperor Yongping died, and so did King Yu.
At first glance, this seems to be a good thing. After all, the two people who hold real power in the court are gone. What will follow is bound to be chaos, and it is a great opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
But here’s the problem!
Xu Yuanzu felt that he could fish in troubled waters, but other people could also fish in troubled waters.
The most outrageous thing is that this other person seems to be hiding as much as him, but the power he holds is absolutely incomparable to him.
"Who do you think it could be?"
Even if you are depressed, you still need to do what you need to do.
Xu Yuanzu looked at King Yan intently, "You know more about things in the court than I do. Who do you think has the ability to kill both the emperor and King Yu?"
"The eldest princess!"
After King Yan was sure that Xu Yuanzu had not done this, he began to wonder who might have done it. This time, he really found the truth.
However, he guessed the truth, but he had no evidence, so everything could only be speculation.
"The eldest princess...?!"
Xu Yuanzu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because the eldest princess guessed his identity.
If this matter is really done by the eldest princess, then this woman is absolutely crazy, and I am afraid that he will attack her next!
Xu Yuanzu suddenly became anxious
"Li Zhen, hurry up, clean up, we should go!"
Realizing that his next situation might not be good, Xu Yuanzu immediately called to King Yan to prepare to run away.
However, Xu Yuanzu was half a beat too late.
As soon as he was about to ask someone to inform the people of the Xu Mansion to prepare, the Xu Mansion was surrounded by the Imperial City Division, Tornado Cavalry, and the Northwest Town Army.
"Bitch, you are treacherous and want to harm me!"
After knowing that the Xu Mansion was surrounded by a large army, Xu Yuanzu was really furious.
Under the training of the founder, Xu Yuanzu, the Eighteen Iron Cavalry of the Xu Mansion are gradually regaining their power that once swept the world. Now that the Xu Mansion was under siege, Xu Yuanzu felt offended and immediately ordered the Eighteen Iron Cavalry to attack in order to let the eldest princess know that he, Taiping King Xu Zhengqi, was still an invincible warrior even if he returned.
In this world, no one can stop him, not to mention the eighteen iron cavalry he created.
"shoot!"
Facing the eighteen cavalrymen who rushed out of Xu Mansion with great momentum, Leng Ci waved calmly.
The continuous crossbow fires up, and the crossbow arrows are like rain.
The Eighteen Iron Cavalry is indeed very strong, especially after being defeated by Xu Yuanzu, the former founder. But the problem is that what Xu Yuanzu encountered was a cold stab who did not respect martial ethics.
No matter how tacitly your eighteen cavalry cooperate, facing the rain of crossbow arrows, they will inevitably end up being shot into hedgehogs.
Be it a human or a horse.
All one death!
The Eighteen Iron Cavalry are not simply eighteen people.
The Eighteen Iron Cavalry are the private soldiers of Xu Mansion.
Eighteen people form a team, integrating offense and defense. On the battlefield, once a charge is launched, the eighteen people can easily fight against an opponent of at least a hundred people.
But in front of the Xu Mansion Gate, groups of eighteen cavalrymen all fell under the rain of crossbow bolts.
The Eight Thousand Feather Forest Guards were destroyed by this method of warfare, and their bodies were taken away in order to eliminate all clues.
"The Xu Mansion conspired to rebel, colluded with the traitor Li Zhen, and killed the king. He should be punished!"
"The eldest princess has decreed to kill Thief Xu!"
Leng Ci raised his hand and waved, and the elite soldiers from the Imperial City Division and the Northwest Town Army cooperated with each other. With their crossbows in hand, they lined up and moved forward, approaching the Xu Mansion little by little.
Duke Changle and Duke Yong'an didn't know why Xu Mansion suffered such a disaster. Both of them were controlled by Xu Yuanzu with poison. But at this moment, they understood that if they didn't fight hard, Xu Mansion might really be wiped out!
Although the two brothers were controlled by Xu Yuanzu, they had always acted in a perfunctory manner.
"Let's fight!"
The two brothers looked at each other and said nothing, but they understood each other's thoughts.
Then, the two of them passed Xu Yuanzu and directly ordered the remaining eighteen cavalry to dismount and return to the mansion.
Since a frontal charge fails, then let's change tactics!
The Xu Mansion is very large, covering a wide area, with many houses and even more gardens.
On weekdays, the Xu Mansion has many secret guards hiding in secret positions for defense. Now, Duke Changle and Duke Yong'an decided to rely on Xu Mansion's geographical location to defend themselves at all levels to delay time.
As the founder of the Tang Dynasty, he was the only family to be granted the title of king. Later, although the Taiping Prince was taken back, he was still a Duke of the Three Kingdoms.
As the saying goes, what goes up is what goes down.
As early as when the first brothers Changle Gong, Yongan Gong and Antai Gong were still alive, the three brothers quietly had people dig a secret tunnel for escape.
Only three princes know about this secret passage.
As for An Taigong, Xu Yuanzu became An Taigong after he robbed Xu Yuanzhen of his title. Therefore, Xu Yuanzu did not know about the existence of the secret passage.
But Xu Yuanzu used poison to control Duke Changle and Duke Yong'an, with ulterior motives.
At this critical moment, Duke Changle and Yong'an naturally would not inform Xu Yuanzu of the existence of the secret escape route in the mansion. They just sent their direct descendants out through the secret escape tunnel. As for the concubines, they were kept.
The strategies of Changle Gong and Yongan Gong were right, but the results were not ideal.
Because Leng Ci, under the instruction of the eldest princess, would destroy the Xu Mansion as quickly as possible at all costs.
No matter what the cost, that means no restrictions on means.
So not long after the Eighteen Iron Cavalry returned to the Xu Mansion, Leng Ci had people surround the Xu Mansion and start setting fire to it. They poured lamp oil on the outside and combined with rockets, quickly turned the magnificent Xu Mansion into a sea of flames.
"Brother, should we go too?"
When the fire spread in the Xu Mansion, Duke Changle and Duke Yongan gathered together.
There is a secret passage, and now the Xu Mansion is covered in a sea of fire. If a person falls into the fire, he will definitely be burned beyond human form. The two of them could have had someone replace them and escape on their own.
"We can't leave!"
Duke Changle sighed, "You can escape for a while, but you can't escape forever. Don't forget, our brothers have been chronically poisoned!"
"Unless you take Xu Yuanzu with you!"
"However, as long as that thief Xu Yuanzu leaves together, our brothers will only be under his control even if we are alive."
"By then, not only our brothers, but also our sons and grandsons will be controlled by him."
"Brother, stop talking, I understand!"
Duke Yong'an took a deep breath, "Since this thief doesn't want us to live well, let's just send him on his way!"
"good!"
When Duke Changle heard what Duke Yong'an said, he immediately showed hatred. He also hated Xu Yuanzu extremely. (End of chapter)
