Ye Zhen had never seen Liu Hebin. She had only heard from Ye Chunnan that this man was Concubine Liu's brother. On the night of the Lantern Festival, she had set up a banquet to humiliate her brother.
The reason why she recognized him was not very sure, but when she saw that his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Concubine Liu's, she remembered that the only person in the capital who would betray was Liu Hebin, who had been arrested before.
Obviously, the Liu family's power in the capital was not small. At this time, Liu Hebin could still come out and cooperate with Liu Wenxue.
Liu Hebin chuckled, "Miss Lu is really smart. You guessed it so quickly."
"To disguise as an imperial guard to trick me out, General Liu must have planted someone in the palace." Ye Zhen touched her wrist with a calm smile on her beautiful face. "Why, where is General Liu going to take me?" "What?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
"Prime Minister Ye's most beloved daughter is in my hands. I don't know if I can make him open the gate." Liu Hebin laughed, "To the gate!"
Hong Ying wanted to go up and kill him, but Ye Zhen held her hand. "Don't move."
Liu Hebin snorted, "Yes, you'd better not move, or you will die if something happens."
Ye Zhen smiled, "I was worried that the capital could not withstand Liu Wenxue's attack, but now it seems that there is nothing to worry about."
"Why?" Liu Hebin asked with a sullen face.
"Otherwise, what are you nervous about?" Ye Zhen smiled faintly.
Liu Hebin's face changed, "Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
"Do you dare?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
"You …" Liu Hebin's face flashed with anger, "You are indeed the daughter of Ye Yiqing. Do you want to provoke me to kill you? You still have value to live. When the gate is opened, you see if I am willing to kill you. "
Ye Zhen looked at the gate in front of her getting closer and closer. She glanced at Liu Hebin, "I'm afraid you won't have this chance."
Liu Hebin was about to ask what she meant when he caught a glimpse of a shadow flashing from the corner of his eye. Several subordinates behind him were killed almost at the same time. He dodged in alarm and saw Lu Yaoyao's maid insert a knife into the neck of a subordinate driving the carriage.
He was shocked. Lu Yaoyao actually had an expert by her side? Even her maid could kill someone without batting an eyelid?
"Xue Lin, kill him!" Ye Zhen stood on the shaft and ordered.
"Capture Lu Yaoyao!" Liu Hebin ordered his other subordinates.
Hong Ying could only block one of them. The other two stretched out their hands towards Ye Rou.
Xue Lin gave up killing Liu Hebin and flew over to save Ye Zhen.
Liu Hebin sneered. "Lu Yaoyao, do you really think you can escape?"
"What do you think?" Ye Rou chuckled, and the hidden dart in her hand shot towards Liu Hebin.
"What is this?" Liu Hebin never thought that Ye Zhen would have hidden weapons. In his opinion, this woman was a spoiled young lady. After being caught by him, she did not scream in fright. She must be pretending to be calm. How could he have thought that she was really not afraid at all?
Ye Zhen smiled, "Something that can catch you."
"What a joke!" It was just a scratch, did she think she could hurt him like that?
Xue Lin had killed the remaining two fake imperial guards. He came to Ye Zhen's side. "Princess, are you all right?"
"I'm fine. Send him to my father on the wall." Ye Zhen said calmly.
… …
… …
"Yao Yao, why are you here?" Ye Yiqing was on the wall. When he saw Ye Zhen appear, he frowned and looked at her. "Didn't I tell you not to come out at home?"
Xue Lin threw Liu Hebin, who was on his shoulder, down.
Ye Yiqing naturally recognized who the unconscious man on the ground was. He looked at Ye Zhen in surprise. "Yao Yao, what's going on?"
"Father, this man pretended to be an imperial guard and deceived me to come out. I saw through him on the way. He wanted to use me to threaten you to open the gate, so I arrested him." Ye Zhen pointed to Liu Hebin.
"Pretended to be an imperial guard?" Ye Yiqing's expression turned cold. "Lin Yong, bring people into the palace. Since Liu Hebin was able to come out, he must have people in the prison. Bring people and kill all the traitors in the city. Inform the emperor of this matter and strengthen the palace's defenses."
Lin Yong, clad in armor, shouted.
"Father, what should we do with this man?" Ye Zhen pointed to Liu Hebin and asked.
Ye Yiqing looked outside the city and sneered. "Tie him up and let Liu Wenxue have a look at him tomorrow."
"Father, haven't the troops retreated yet?" Ye Zhen asked worriedly.
"It's the same whether we retreat or not." Ye Yiqing said lightly.
Ye Zhen asked, "Father, do we have enough troops?"
"It's enough to deal with Liu Wenxue." Ye Yiqing said, "You should go back quickly. Don't stay here. It's too dangerous here."
"Father, you should be careful too." Ye Zhen looked at Ye Yiqing. "Pay attention to rest."
Ye Yiqing nodded with a smile and looked at Xue Lin and Hong Ying. "You escort the girl home. At this time, the palace will not let people in and out at will. Don't be easily fooled again."
Xue Lin was already guilty of letting the princess go out easily. When he heard Ye Yiqing's words, he hurriedly bowed his head.
"I won't go back. I'll stay here with you." Ye Zhen said.
"Don't make trouble. You are more of a hindrance here." Ye Yiqing said angrily. "Take her back."
Xue Lin said to Ye Zhen, "Princess, if you stay here, Lord Ye will have to worry about your safety. It's better to go home and wait."
Ye Zhen took a look at Ye Yiqing and nodded.
The news of Dongqing's rebellion soon reached Mo Rongzhan's ears.
"Liu Wenxue brought troops back to the capital to force the palace to abdicate?" Mo Rongzhan stood up in shock when he received the news. He remembered that his little girl was still in the capital. "He colluded with the Northern Dark Kingdom?"
"The Northern Dark Kingdom has sent troops to attack Quicksand City. If Ye Chunnan can't take the Liu family's troops for his own use, I'm afraid he will not be the opponent of the Northern Dark Kingdom."
Mo Rongzhan frowned. "Order Tang Zhen to lead troops to the capital to support Ye Yiqing. No matter what, he must protect Yao Yao's safety."
When Tang Zhen received this order, he immediately entered the palace. "Your Majesty, are we going to send troops to the capital … Is it appropriate?"
What if they took the opportunity to threaten him?
"I'm not asking you to go openly. I just want you to help Ye Yiqing and protect Yao Yao's safety." Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice.
"Then … Quicksand City has asked for support from our army. Should we agree?" Tang Zhen asked.
Mo Rongzhan looked at Tang Zhen. "Do you think that if the Northern Dark Kingdom takes Quicksand City, they will let go of our Shahao City?"
"Your Majesty's meaning?" Tang Zhen asked in a low voice.
"Is Ye Chunnan leading the troops to Quicksand City?" Mo Rongzhan's slender fingers tapped on the table. "Let him practice first. If he has the ability to take the Liu family's troops for his own use, he won't need our support at all."
