"Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"
"Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"
"Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"
Every person in the capital heard this voice.
In the inner city, in the outer city, and even in the imperial city.
Some people with better soundproofing might not have heard it, such as Zhu Changluo, who was making love with his beloved concubine, but some people who were closer might have heard and seen it, such as Fang Shoushi and Sun Chengzong, who were guarding the city at Chaoyang Gate.
When they heard the voices of "Long live His Majesty" coming from the barracks outside the city gate, both of them were extremely shocked and didn't know what was going on. Was Xiao Ruxun's army planning to attack the city?
Or something else?
When the people in the capital heard it, they were frightened and worried that the army outside the city was going to attack the city.
The officials in the capital were also frightened when they heard it. They immediately ordered their servants to block the door and armed themselves with weapons to protect themselves. Those who had firearms took them out to strengthen their courage, lest the Zhennan Army would hurt them when they attacked the city. At the same time, they cursed Shen Yicheng fiercely.
When Xiao Daheng heard the voice in his residence, he fell to the ground in a daze.
He had not been to the Imperial Palace for three or four days and had stayed in his home in the inner city. He knew what he was about to face and also knew that even if a miracle happened, it would not be able to save his life. From the day he gave his life to Shen Yiyi, he knew that he had no way out.
Even so, he still persisted. He believed in Shen Yi's skill, believed in the direction of the world, and did not believe that he had placed such a heavy bet on the wrong move. But reality gave him a ruthless slap in the face, causing him to see stars.
At present, he had no better way than to take his family to the capital to protect them. In fact, it was futile. Once Xiao Ruxun entered the city, he would never let him go.
He was doomed.
He was the commander who killed two thousand of Xiao Ruxun's subordinates.
Was this big family going to go to the end of the road?
Xiao Daheng was in great despair.
Liu Huangchang was different from him. Because of a momentary kindness, Liu Huangchang and Xiao Daheng stood on a completely different path.
At that time, Liu Huangshang was writing something in his own mansion. He pricked up his ears to listen for a while when he heard the voice. Then, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. He lowered his head and continued writing. He didn't stop writing until his younger brother, Liu Huangding, walked in with a bewildered look on his face.
"Brother, what are you writing?"
"Write something very important, something that concerns the future of us brothers!"
Liu Huangchang continued to write furiously.
"What time is it, brother? The cheers outside could be heard by everyone in the city. Were they planning to attack the city? They didn't even want to negotiate and wanted to attack the city? This is the Imperial City, the Emperor is still here! "
Liu Huangding's face was filled with worry.
"That's why I'm writing this!"
Liu Huangchang still did not raise his head. Liu Huangding scratched his head in confusion and hastily stepped forward to take a look. After reading a few words, he turned pale with fright and exclaimed, "Elder Brother! What are you doing? This … this was something that could cost one's head! Why are you writing something like this? Are you tired of living? "
Liu Huangchang had just finished writing. He put down his brush and blew on the ink that had yet to dry. "What do you know? This is the life-saving talisman for us brothers! Without this, you and I should be prepared to lose our heads! Do you think Hsiao Jixin is blind or deaf? He will find out sooner or later that we are giving advice to Shen Yicheng. In order to survive, this is something we have to do! "
"What does this have to do with Hsiao Jixin? Outside the city … outside … "
Liu Huangding suddenly realized something. He widened his eyes and looked at Liu Huangchang in disbelief. "Elder Brother, you mean …?"
"Yes! I guess this is the only possibility. Otherwise, why would there be such a big movement? Just wait and see. The world is going to change. "
Liu Huangchang narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. "You and I came from humble origins and have been through many hardships to get to where we are today. It was not easy for us to get to this step and we still have a bright future to look forward to. Are we going to follow Shen Yicheng to hell?
Impossible. I will not give up halfway! This is the most dangerous time, but it is also the best opportunity! If we can seize it, our future will be bright and limitless! "
Liu Huangchang held the letter in his hand and made up his mind.
The sound of "long live" lasted for a long time before it gradually stopped. Fang Shoushi and Sun Chengzong stood on the city wall and looked at the movements in the Zhennan Army's camp not far away. They were extremely surprised.
They did not know why the sound of "long live" was heard, but it seemed that Xiao Ruxun did not have any plans to attack the city. The army did not even leave the camp.
"Dong Weng, what are they doing? They made such a big movement but they did not attack the city. Is it a psychological strategy? "
Sun Chengzong looked at Fang Shoushi.
Fang Shoushi frowned and slowly shook his head. "No, if it was a psychological strategy, they would not do this. Long live, this is not an ordinary slogan. Who are they shouting 'long live' to? Who told them to shout 'long live'? Why are they shouting 'long live'? "
Fang Shoushi had a bad feeling in his heart, but he did not dare to think too much about it.
Of course, Sun Chengzong could not answer a single question, but he had something else to talk about.
"Dong Weng, every road leading to Yuxi Palace is guarded by the Imperial Bodyguard. Shen Yicheng is very strict about this. We don't even know if the Retired Emperor is alive or dead. How can we enter Yuxi Palace and see the Retired Emperor?"
Fang Shoushi pursed his lips.
"Then it seems that there is only one way for us to enter Yuxi Palace and see the Retired Emperor."
"What is it?"
Sun Chengzong hurriedly asked.
"When Hsiao Jixin led the army to attack the city."
Sun Chengzong's eyes widened. "When Hsiao Jixin led the army to attack the city? Isn't that too dangerous? Also, Dong Weng, will Hsiao Jixin attack the city? This is the capital. "
"Nothing is impossible," Fang Shoushi said firmly.
"Hsiao Jixin is not an indecisive person. He will definitely attack the city. If he attacks the city, it will definitely cause chaos in the city. The defeated soldiers will definitely charge toward the inner city and the Imperial City. When the chaos starts, it will be the time for us to enter the Imperial City and find Yuxi Palace to protect the Retired Emperor. Although this is very risky, we have to do it."
"Then … when will Hsiao Jixin attack the city?"
Sun Chengzong asked again.
"When …"
Fang Shoushi thought for a while. "Soon, soon. It won't be long. The Zhennan Army is at its peak. This is the best time to attack the city. If he attacks the city now, it will definitely be like a hot knife through butter. The soldiers in the capital will lose their spirit and no longer have the morale to resist Xiao Ruxun. Once their morale declines, as long as one person charges onto the city walls, the army will instantly collapse. The situation will be irreversible."
"Then what should we do?"
Sun Chengzong asked again.
"This old man didn't bring the army here to fight with Hsiao Jixin, but to protect His Majesty. Once the time is right, we will directly lead the elite troops into the Imperial City and head straight for Yuxi Palace to protect the Retired Emperor. As long as the Retired Emperor is safe and sound, the world will be safe and sound!"
Fang Shoushi was very determined.
Sun Chengzong swallowed his saliva and nodded.
