The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 631: Immediately enter the palace
Chapter 631 Enter the Palace Immediately
However…the soldiers who followed her shouted to kill her, and coincidentally, their words were full of the flavor of Nandu dialect.
At this time, the Nandu Army pretending to be under the command of Prince Xin is heading to the East Gate. They will definitely confront the Prince’s men… or even fight, or she needs to find a way to make them fight, and it would be best if they could capture a few people alive. When the news reaches Prince Xian, he will certainly be unable to sit still.
A man came riding a fast horse in the distance. He jumped off the horse before it stopped and said, “Miss, there was a fight at the east gate of Dadu City. The general who led the troops to our mansion actually ordered people to shoot and kill their own people. It seemed that they didn’t want to leave anyone alive. Later, they fled in a panic. I followed them all the way and saw those soldiers return to Liuhuai Lane in the west of the city.”
Bai Qingyan tightened her hands behind her back. It seemed that she didn’t need to bother to let them fight. Who was most concerned about what was happening in the capital city right now? It must be Prince Xian and Prince Liang who were waiting to be the one to take action. With such a big commotion at the east gate of the city, it was impossible for Prince Xian to not know about it. He would definitely send people out to investigate and see if there were any people captured alive.
She thought for a moment and said, “Go and keep an eye on Liu Huai Lane. If anyone comes out to snoop, try to send the news that… Prince Xin’s men have captured someone alive at the East Gate. Tell them… that the captured soldiers claim to be from the Southern Capital Army, and that they were ordered to impersonate Prince Xin’s men, planning to rebel and support their son-in-law, Prince Liang, to ascend the throne. Once the news reaches you, immediately return to the East Gate.”
The guard who had just returned said yes and rode away quickly.
Bai Qingyan looked at another guard of the Bai family and said, “You go and keep an eye on Prince Xian’s mansion. Same thing… If anyone comes out to get information, capture the soldiers guarding the east gate of Dadu City under Prince Xin alive and claim that they are from the Southern Capital Army and that Prince Xian supports Prince Liang. Give them the information! Spread the information and secretly monitor Prince Xian’s mansion. If there is any unusual movement, immediately return to the east gate.”
“Yes!” The Bai family guards responded and mounted their horses and left.
Bai Qingyan’s eyes fell on the remaining eight guards again, and he said, “The eight of you will be divided into four teams, guarding outside the four gates of the palace respectively, and wait for Prince Xian to lead his troops to force their way into the palace, and then report back immediately!”
The guards of the Bai family looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and said, “If we all leave, who will protect the safety of the young lady? Waiting outside the palace gate for any movement… One person is enough!”
“With the secret guards brought by Mr. Xiao, you don’t have to worry.”
“Before we followed Miss out, Lord Lu repeatedly told us to protect her even at death. How could I leave her safety in the hands of others? I must stay by her side and never leave her alone!”
The Bai family guards knelt down and begged Bai Qingyan to keep someone by his side.
“The young lady trusts us. We were once soldiers of the Bai family, so Lord Lu chose us to protect her. We are all veterans of many battles. Even if we die… we will report any movement in front of the palace gate to the east gate! But we must not leave the young lady’s side!”
Bai Qingyan knew that the Bai family soldiers were loyal and brave, from birth to death!
She nodded, bent down and helped the guard up: “Okay, the four of you go to the four gates of the palace, and the other four follow me to the east gate of the capital city.”
The four guards mounted their horses and rode away quickly.
Bai Qingyan stood outside the deserted Prince’s Mansion, looked back at the Mansion, jumped on his horse, and walked slowly towards the East Gate.
Prince Xian wanted to be the oriole, so how could he let people know in advance that he was the oriole waiting behind? As long as the news reached Prince Xian’s ears, wouldn’t he gather the army first for safety reasons to avoid being ambushed in Liuhuai Lane?
When the troops gather together, the target becomes bigger.
Prince Xian was not unaware of the principle that delay would lead to unexpected events. He could only take a risky tactic and lead troops with Prince Liang to besiege the imperial palace in the name of saving the crown prince and His Majesty… First, they cooperated with the patrol battalion to strangle the imperial guards, and then they would draw their swords on the crown prince.
No matter what, as long as the message is delivered, it will force King Xian to take action, and then the Anping camp can enter the city and wait for orders, waiting to be the python after the oriole.
Just as Bai Qingyan expected, when General Xiao Wang returned to Prince Xian’s residence in the capital city with injuries, Prince Xian had already known about the incident at the East Gate and had also received the news…The soldiers sent by Prince Xin to guard the East Gate captured a member of the Nandu Army alive, and knew that he planned to support his son-in-law, Prince Liang, to ascend the throne.
Prince Liang stood beside Prince Xian, pretending to be cowardly and fearful, and said, “Father-in-law… Prince Xin knows everything, otherwise… otherwise, let’s just forget it!”
Prince Xian gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at General Xiao Wang, who was covering his arrow wound and looking pale. If this idiot’s father wasn’t a powerful general beside him… and a big battle was imminent, Prince Xian was afraid of disrupting the morale of the army, so he would definitely have him dragged down and chopped off!
“Although this is the princess’s order, you… have ruined the great cause of His Royal Highness Prince Liang and me!” Prince Xian’s voice was a little cruel, “If you can win a great victory this time, it will be fine. If not, you will die with a clean neck!”
“Yes!” General Xiao Wang quickly responded by clasping his fists.
“But father-in-law! They…they all know!” Prince Liang’s pupils trembled and his face turned pale with fear.
Prince Xian felt relieved when he saw the cowardly Prince Liang. If such a Prince Liang ascended the throne… he could control him better.
Prince Xian patted Prince Liang on the shoulder and said, “It doesn’t matter even if Prince Xin knows. Prince Xin has to guard against the 20,000 soldiers of the Anping camp outside the city, and deal with the patrol camp that has already entered the palace with the crown prince. He can’t take care of us!”
Prince Xian held Prince Liang’s hand, turned his head and looked at the generals of Nandu in the hall, and said loudly: “Since Prince Xin already knows! Then… let Prince Liang take us to the palace… kill the traitor Prince Xin, and work with the patrol camp to wipe out the rebellious imperial guards!”
After saying that, Prince Xian pinched Prince Liang again, turned his head and looked at Prince Liang: “After killing Prince Xin, we will strangle the defenseless patrol camp and kill the crown prince… and then naturally put the blame on Prince Xin! Prince Liang… is just too late to save the emperor!”
Prince Liang’s heart was pounding, and he felt that the throne was right before his eyes.
“I…I will listen to my father-in-law!” King Liang spoke timidly.
“Let the Nandu Army hiding in various places in the capital gather in front of the Wude Gate!” Prince Xian held the sword at his waist and shouted loudly, “We will… enter the palace immediately! Protect the emperor!”
The soldiers of the Southern Army standing in the main hall clasped their fists and said yes, with great enthusiasm, as if they had already secured victory.
Before leaving, Prince Xian ordered the secret guards to guard Prince Xian’s mansion well.
Prince Liang, who was standing next to Prince Xian, thought for a moment and then stepped forward cautiously, saying in a mosquito-like voice, “Father-in-law, do you think we should arrest the second wife and the seventh girl from the Zhenguo Princess’s mansion? This Zhenguo Princess is a master at using troops. What if… what if she really has the ability to grow wings and flies out of the four city gates guarded by Prince Xin… and brings with her the 20,000 soldiers from the Anping camp?”
