This sort of change was something that Xuan Tian Ye did not expect. That sudden feeling of being betrayed was something that he could not endure. The hand that had been holding the wheelchair in place slipped, and the wheelchair slid back a bit; however, there was no one to catch it.
In the end, he was Xuan Tian Ye. When there was no one to catch the wheelchair, when the 20 thousand soldiers suddenly changed sides, he suddenly realized a crucial problem and a crucial person. He suddenly turned around to look for the advisor that had followed him for ten years; however, he could not find even half a person's shadow. Even the people ramming into the door had stopped. The wooden stakes were left where they had been standing, and they all raised their weapons and looked at him like he was a predator.
Only then did Xuan Tian Ye realize that it was time for him to begin feeling afraid. This kind of fear was different from the worry he had felt earlier. Worry was just speculation. As long as he did not see a conclusion, there was still a chance. But now, the fear had already been sealed, and there was no turning point.
Yes, there was no turning point. He understood his Ninth Brother too well. Xuan Tianming never did anything that he was not confident in. As long as he was certain of something, it would definitely be done. These 20 thousand soldiers had been hoarded by him for a full three years. Bit by bit, he had spent countless amounts. He had been waiting to use them; however, who knew that before they could be used, they would no longer be his.
Xuan Tian Ye was unreconciled. Raising his head, he fiercely asked: "When exactly did you bribe my soldiers?"
Xuan Tianming sneered disdainfully, "Bribe? With so many people, how much money would it take to bribe them? Our Heng Heng said that money that should not be spent must not be spent. That's why I did not bribe your soldiers. These were exchanged! " His smile became even more sinister, "Bu Cong swapped out soldiers from the capital for night patrols. I felt that there was not much meaning in that. If we were going to play, we should play a bit bigger. That's why I swapped out your 20 thousand soldiers. Third brother, I must thank you. Using your rations to support I for so many years, you have truly worked hard! "
Xuan Tian Ye's face turned green. He practically immediately understood what Xuan Tianming had said. It seemed that these soldiers were no longer the same as the ones that he had recruited. Over the past few years, he had been recruiting, and they had been changing. In the end, not a single one remained.
No, it wasn't that there wasn't a single one left. Those commanders were old, and he recognized them. However, he also understood that the soldiers could be exchanged, while the commanders could be bribed. Xuan Tianming only needed to bribe a few dozen people to achieve his goal of exchanging the twenty thousand soldiers. As for himself, he had been trying his best to earn money to support them all these years. He had raised them from Gan Province to the capital, but they were actually a bunch of ingrates!
The more he thought about it, the more disappointed he felt. If the soldiers in the capital were replaced, what else could be left in Gan Province? No wonder Xuan Tianming was so fearless. It turned out that he was not afraid at all. He even hoped that Xuan Tianming would continue tormenting him. After all, it was all in vain.
Xuan Tian Ye thought about it a few times, but all of them led to a dead end. In an instant, his face became ashen, and it became thicker and thicker. Adding on the anger that was emitted from his body, his entire being was like a zombie, causing people to tremble in fear.
Suddenly, he jumped up from his wheelchair. Holding a sword in his hand, the tip of the sword went straight for Xuan Tianming's throat.
Behind him, Wang Zhuo shouted: "Your Highness, be careful!"
But Xuan Tian Ming did not move in the slightest. Leisurely watching that person struggle, he silently counted: One, two, three …
When the third number appeared, the person who had leaped into the air suddenly fell down. His sword was still in his hand, but he could not stop his body from falling. He was like a boneless fish. His legs were drooping and his waist was dislocated. Even his spine and the joints at the back of his neck were broken.
Xuan Tian Ye felt as though he had suddenly shattered. The bones in his body were scattered and completely out of his control. In the instant that he fell to the ground, he found it difficult to even raise his head.
In an instant, he suddenly realized that the injuries that Feng Yu Heng had inflicted on him were far more severe than he had imagined. He also realized that when Feng Yu Heng had taken the initiative to treat his injuries, it was definitely not just for the sake of having him appear at the wedding with Feng Chen Yu in a wheelchair. She had treated his injuries for the sake of this moment. It was for the sake of making it seem as though he could move, but as long as he exerted his strength, rushed forward, or attacked, all of his bones would fall apart, and he would become as soft as mud.
Xuan Tian Ye had always believed himself to be the most rational of the princes. He was also the most patient, the most dignified, and the most ambitious. But at this moment, all of the confidence that he had built up in the first half of his life had been shattered along with his broken bones.
What sort of ambition was there left? In the end, he could not even compare to a little girl in her early teens. Fight, he could not beat her! Schemes, he could not beat her! After a few rounds of fighting, not only had he lost money, he had also been beaten black and blue.
Despair and death gradually appeared in his eyes, as he glared at Xuan Tianming with unwillingness. Suddenly, he thought of an idea. He could not stand up, nor could he move, but he still had his tongue. His mouth could still speak. He could use the most vicious and unacceptable words to continue attacking his opponent.
He suddenly began to laugh loudly. Glaring at Xuan Tianming, he used a cursing tone to say- "Dashun's Ninth Prince? Ninth master? Prince Yu? Hahaha! You're nothing more than a coward that relies on a woman! It's your woman that has tried time and time again to gain father Emperor's favor. She has treated people, produced steel, and saved people from floods. And you? You just stand behind her and take advantage of her. Old ninth, oh old ninth! Are you still a man? "
Using such unbearable words to attack his opponent, Xuan Tian Ye believed that any man would not be able to endure such a thing. Moreover, the opponent was the most arrogant and willful Ninth Prince! In his memories, not to mention old ninth cursing him for relying on his wife, even if he relied on Tianwu and Consort Yun, he would immediately become angry. He still remembered when this brat was ten years old. Because old fourth had said, "If it were not for father Emperor favoring your imperial concubine mother, how could you have such prestige?" He lost control and punched out old fourth's front teeth. Today, he had humiliated him for not being a man. Even if he was beaten to death, he was willing. He just wanted to see Xuan Tianming lose control and become furious.
Thinking of this, the anger and anticipation in Xuan Tian Ye's eyes became even more intense. He was waiting. He was waiting to see Xuan Tianming fly into a rage. He was waiting to see him lose face in front of so many people.
Just like this, he waited and waited for a very long time; however, he saw the person that had not dismounted the entire time suddenly begin to laugh. He did not lose control or explode with anger as he had imagined. In fact, his laughter was sincere and not cold. Finally, the laughter stopped, as he heard Xuan Tianming say: "Many thanks for third brother's praise. Our Heng Heng's ability has been recognized by third brother. It really is not easy! I must thank third brother on my behalf. I understand what you mean. For such a powerful woman to be willing to become my princess, this is my ability. "
Xuan Tian Ye was dazed. Looking at the person before him in disbelief, it was as though he did not recognize him. Was this still old ninth? Why was it that he had cursed him, yet this person was still thanking him? But after thinking a bit, that's right. No matter how powerful Feng Yu Heng was, she was willing to follow him. This was Xuan Tianming's greatest ability. What exactly was he cursing him for?
Xuan Tian Ye lowered his eyes in defeat. He could no longer raise his head, and he could not muster a single ounce of strength. As for Xuan Tianming, he finally dismounted from his horse; however, he did not look at him. He just hurriedly walked past him and spat out: "Carry this person and throw him into the palace's mountain prison. Wang Zhuo will follow I into the palace. Everyone else, stay put and await orders. "
Once he said this, someone immediately stepped forward and lifted Xuan Tian Ye up. The door that he had dreamed of knocking open had finally been opened, but he was no longer able to touch that dream.
Xuan Tianming entered the palace. Outside the palace, all of the hidden guards were led by Bai Ze. Leading the 20 thousand soldiers, they stood guard and waited for Xuan Tianming to enter the palace before giving orders.
Once the door was opened and closed, the inside and outside of the palace were two different worlds. Wang Zhuo dragged his injured leg and followed behind Xuan Tianming. Seeing that everything in the imperial palace was normal and orderly, he suddenly felt a bit absent-minded. It was as though the chaos outside had not affected the inside of the palace in the slightest. All of the Imperial Guards were standing guard and patrolling as usual. Occasionally, a eunuch or palace maid could be seen wandering around. There was also a servant passing by with a plate of food. Saluting to Xuan Tianming, she said: "Imperial Concubine Hua suddenly wanted to drink pigeon soup. This servant just had the kitchen prepare it." The soup in the pot was fragrant, and just smelling it made Wang Zhuo feel hungry.
Xuan Tianming waved his hand and had the servant leave. Bringing Wang Zhuo with him, he walked toward Zhao He Hall.
Since Wang Zhuo was promoted, he often entered the palace, but most of the time, he went to Qiankun Hall. Zhao He Hall was Tianwu's bedroom. Ordinary people could not go there. In tonight's chaos, he originally thought that after entering the palace, he would help Xuan Tianming command the Imperial Guards in the palace to protect him. Then he would rush to the various palaces to arrest all the people related to the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince. This was what chaos, or even what the palace should be like.
However, the moment he entered the Imperial Palace, the tranquility and peace that stood aloof from worldly affairs had almost shattered all his previous understanding. The more he walked in the direction of Zhao He Hall, the more he suspected that everything outside the Imperial Palace was just a dream. But looking at his injured leg again, and feeling the pain from the injury while walking, he felt that it was real again.
He pondered, the people in the palace, their hearts were too big, right? The chaos outside was like that, how could they still do what they should do as if nothing had happened? Or could it be that the palace didn't hear the noise outside? It couldn't be, the door was almost broken. With such a big movement, even the dead could be shaken back to life, let alone sleep.
He asked absentmindedly, "Your Highness, will the emperor be okay?"
Xuan Tianming shrugged his shoulders, "What can happen to him? If he's not dreaming, then he's eating."
While talking, the two people had already walked to the door of Zhao He Hall. When the palace guard outside the door saw Xuan Tianming, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted. Xuan Tianming waved his hand and asked, "Is Imperial Father asleep?"
Before the palace guard could answer, he suddenly heard Zhang Yuan's helpless shout from inside, "Your Majesty! You're out of tune again! "
Xuan Tianming's face darkened. Damn, he guessed wrong.
