Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 189: Fanyang Army Approaches the City, but Lu Yi is Missing

When Wang Huai heard this and saw that Chu Shixu was silent, he knew that he was thinking about this matter.

He immediately stood up, ready to step forward and make a speech, in order to really fool Chu Shixu.

After all, the Fanyang Army outside was too confused, and Wang Huai couldn't figure out what was going on over there.

But he knew that it was absolutely right to stabilize Chu Shixu and prevent him from breaking into the imperial city and capturing the emperor first.

"sit down!"

Seeing Wang Huai was about to step forward, his brothers immediately scolded him.

After scolding in a low voice, Wang Huai looked at Wang Laosan, only to see Wang Laosan glaring at him, and then he pulled him back to the chair.

Wang Huai was speechless.

These people are going too far. We are all from the Eastern Palace. Why don’t you let me express my thoughts?

Wang Huai sat down angrily.

Fortunately, Chu Shixu was not so impulsive and he decided to wait and see.

Wang Huai was forced to sit on his seat by his brothers, feeling as depressed as a deflated ball.

His eyes rolled around, and he cursed in his heart: These old guys, you take advantage of your age and think you are so important! When I get the power, I will show you how I will deal with you!

As a member of the Wang family, Wang Huai has always been holding a grudge in his heart because he has been bullied by the Wang family since he was a child.

No one ever took him seriously.

His status in the Wang family was extremely low. Even when he was a child, even a maid in the Wang family dared to bully him at will.

Even though Wang Huai's aunt was Queen Wang, she was still not favored by others.

Wang Huai has always been holding a grudge, and he has been holding it in for several years. This time he wants to prove to himself that he is not a coward who will be nothing if he leaves the Wang family.

This time, he secretly chose to surrender to King Jin, which was the best way out for himself.

In secret, Wang Huai glanced furtively at several core members of the Wang family, cursing in his heart, “Just wait and see, how long can you guys be so proud!”
At this time, a counselor stood up and said, "Your Highness, it's already too late, why are you still waiting? What if the palace is prepared? Wouldn't our efforts be in vain? In my opinion, this opportunity cannot be missed. Let's charge in now and control the emperor first!"

The Wang family also echoed, "Yes, Your Highness, the night is long and dreams are many! If something goes wrong with the Fanyang Army, we will all be finished! Why not take action now!"

Chu Shixu rubbed his eyebrows in annoyance. This group of people is really endless!
He glanced at the general and snorted, "You know nothing! The Fanyang Army is my last trump card. If something goes wrong with them, what can we use to compete with the court?"

"Everyone, shut up and wait for another half an hour! If the Fanyang Army still doesn't make any moves after half an hour, we will act!"

In fact, Chu Shixu himself was not sure.

I was already nervous, and the more these people talked, the more uncertain I became.

What he feared most was that something might go wrong with the Fanyang army.

But these people just want to bring up things that are not related to the topic.

Isn't this just making things difficult for yourself?
As soon as Chu Shixu's words came out, the East Palace suddenly became quiet. Although everyone was anxious, they did not dare to refute.

Wang Huai sat in the corner, but his heart was filled with joy, thinking to himself: Fortunately, this idiot Chu Shixu still has some brains and was not fooled by these instigators!

As time passed, the atmosphere in the East Palace became more and more tense, and anxiety was written all over everyone's face.

Chu Shixu paced back and forth, looking outside the door from time to time.

Wang Huai secretly observed the reactions of these people.

I noticed that many people started whispering to each other again.

Obviously, many people showed impatient expressions on their faces.

In fact, it’s no wonder these people can’t sit still.

The behavior of the Fanyang army is really unbelievable.

You're already at the door, why don't you come in to support?

Instead, they camped outside the city?

Isn't this nonsense?!

In other words, this idiot Chu Shixu still held on to a glimmer of hope and waited foolishly for others to come.

At this moment, Wang Laosan, who was sitting in front of him, could no longer control his temper.

This guy came close to his elder brother.

He lowered his voice and said.

"Brother, is Your Highness confused? In my opinion, something might have really happened to the Fanyang Army! This is very wrong!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Huai immediately leaned forward and pricked up his ears.

Upon hearing this, Boss Wang glared at him fiercely.

"Shut up! How dare you say anything! How can you say that Your Highness is confused? I think you want to have your head removed!"

Wang Laosan looked aggrieved, "But..."

"Don't say but! His Highness hasn't said anything yet, why are you so anxious? His Highness isn't in a hurry, but you're the only one joining in the fun and you can't sit still?"

Hearing this conversation, Wang Huai tried hard to suppress his laughter.

Fortunately, he has strong self-control, otherwise he would have really burst out laughing just now.

After being scolded by the boss, Wang Laosan could only shrink his neck and dared not say another word.

Wang Huai smiled secretly in his heart. These good descendants of the Wang family were usually very powerful. But in fact, Wang Huai knew that at critical moments, these guys were more cowardly than each other.

They are all cowards, and they just rely on the name of the Wang family to bully others.

Therefore, Wang Huai looked down on these guys from the bottom of his heart.

Half an hour passed quickly.

However, the Fanyang Army still did not show up. The East Palace was in an uproar, and everyone started shouting.

"Your Highness, we can't wait any longer!"

"Yes, Your Highness. If we wait any longer, we really won't have a chance!"

"Go in, Your Highness! Charge into the palace!"

Chu Shixu's face also turned pale, he slammed the table hard and roared.

"Shut up, Your Highness!"

He paced back and forth for a few steps and finally made up his mind.

He said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, everyone get ready! We will charge into the palace now!"

When Wang Huai heard this, his heart trembled. He knew that the moment of the decisive battle had finally arrived!
The gate of the East Palace slowly opened, and Chu Shixu walked out aggressively with a group of counselors and generals.

Wang Huai followed at the end of the team, feeling uneasy.

However, just as they were about to leave the East Palace, suddenly, a hurried sound of horse hooves came from afar.

Everyone stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Report... Report to His Highness..." the soldier said breathlessly, "The Fan... Fanyang Army... is advancing at full speed..."

After these words were spoken, everyone was speechless.

After waiting for a long time, the Fanyang army didn't move at all, as if they were dead.

Now they are preparing to set off to the palace to support the king. Okay, you start your journey now!

Isn't this just a joke?

Even Chu Shixu felt like he was being made fun of.

At this moment, he did not feel very happy about the dispatch of the Fan Yang army. Instead, there was a hint of gloom on his face.

Even he couldn't be happy at this moment.

"Your Highness, you heard it right. The Fanyang army is advancing at full speed. Our reinforcements are here!"

There are still such blind people at this time.

Chu Shixu glared at him fiercely and squeezed out a word from between his teeth, "Get lost!"

Chu Shixu took a deep breath and suppressed the rage in his heart. He had originally planned to risk everything and force his way into the palace, but after waiting for a long time without any movement, the Fanyang army suddenly began to advance at full speed. He glared at the soldier who reported the news, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

The soldier was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly knelt on the ground, not daring to say another word.

"Your Highness, please calm down. Now that the Fanyang Army has been dispatched, our army has a greater chance of winning. It's just a slight delay."

A counselor stepped forward to console him.

Chu Shixu snorted coldly, "A greater chance of winning? Humph! If they had acted earlier, I wouldn't have been in such a passive position! The situation in the palace is changing rapidly now, who knows what will happen!"

He paced on the spot irritably, feeling extremely anxious.

He knew that the longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

"Pass the order down, stop the plan to attack the palace! Everyone, follow me to the city gate to welcome the Fanyang army!"

Chu Shixu finally gave the order.

He no longer paid attention to the advisers who were still chattering, turned around and strode towards the city gate.

The guards of the East Palace had already opened the palace gates, and Chu Shixu, accompanied by a group of advisers and generals, marched towards the city gate in a mighty procession.

Along the way, everyone was silent and the atmosphere was particularly depressing.

Wang Huai followed at the end of the team, feeling mixed emotions.

He originally thought that he could interfere and delay some time until the Jinyang Army arrived ahead of time.

As a result, man plans first and foremost, and they still failed to arrive before the Fanyang army.

Half an hour later, Chu Shixu and his party finally arrived at the city gate.

This city gate is one of the two city gates controlled by Chu Shixu. It has high walls and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Chu Shixu, along with several important advisers from the Eastern Palace, strode onto the city gate tower.

On the city wall, the soldiers guarding the city were already ready for battle.

"Your Highness!" When the guard saw Chu Shixu, he hurried forward to salute.

"What's the situation?" Chu Shixu asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the Fanyang army is approaching rapidly and is expected to arrive at the city in half an hour!" the guard replied respectfully.

Chu Shixu nodded and looked into the distance.

In the distance, a long black dragon appeared on the horizon, sweeping towards this side in a mighty manner.

That was the 100,000-strong army of Fanyang!
"finally come!"

Chu Shixu muttered to himself.

It was not until this moment that he felt a little excited.

I should have been even more excited than I am now. If the Fan Yang army hadn't been slow to take action, I wouldn't have had to worry so much.

Chu Shixu thought that after the matter was accomplished, he would also hold someone accountable for this matter.

An army of one hundred thousand strong, are you going to insult Your Highness like this?

So outrageous!
He took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, and then gave the order loudly.

"Listen to my orders, prepare to open the city gates for the Fanyang army!"

"As ordered!"

The defenders responded in unison, the sound was deafening.

The atmosphere on the city wall suddenly became tense.

The soldiers were busy preparing to welcome the arrival of the Fan Yang army.

Chu Shixu stood on the city wall, looking at the Fanyang army getting closer and closer in the distance, his heart full of anticipation.

He knew that as long as the Fan Yang army arrived, he could turn the tide and completely control the entire situation!
As time went by, the Fan Yang army got closer and closer, and the ground began to tremble slightly.

"Here it comes!" Chu Shixu exclaimed, with a gleam in his eyes.

He gripped the sword tightly in his hand, and the excitement in his heart became even stronger.

The army stopped several hundred meters away from the city gate.

A general riding a tall horse rode out and bowed to Chu Shixu on the city wall. It was Ma Su'an, the governor of Fanyang.

Ma Suan sat steadily on the horse's back, looking up at Chu Shixu on the city wall.

He bowed and saluted, "I, General Ma Suan, pay my respects to Your Highness!"

Seeing this, Chu Shixu on the tower hurriedly walked to the battlement and said loudly: "General Ma, you have worked hard! Please get up quickly!"

Ma Suan bowed again and said, "I will serve Your Highness even if my life is short!"

"Good! What a great person who is willing to die!"

Chu Shixu clapped his hands and laughed.

He turned to the guard beside him and ordered: "Quick, open the city gate and welcome the Fanyang army into the city!"

"Yes, sir!" The guard took the order and left.

"Your Highness! Wait! Do not open the city gate!"

A counselor suddenly shouted loudly, interrupting Chu Shixu's thoughts.

This shout also shocked everyone on the city wall into silence.

Just now, the advisers of the East Palace opened their eyes wide and observed the situation of the Fanyang Army below.

After all, this is a matter that concerns their lives and property.

No one dares to take it lightly.

But the city gate was not allowed to be opened, which surprised Chu Shixu.

He turned around, not knowing why.

A counselor who shouts at whoever he looks at.

To put it bluntly, Chu Shixu felt a little uneasy. Could it be that something really went wrong with the Fanyang Army?
If this is true, then what should I do?
at this time.

Wang Huai, who was standing at the end, had taken advantage of the tense situation at the city gate when no one was paying attention to him, and secretly arranged his own spies to go to the palace to deliver a letter to Dou Li.

Let Dou Li be prepared, the Fanyang army is approaching the city and will enter soon.

It was only a matter of time before the palace fell.

I only hope that Dou Li can protect the emperor and see if he can get him out through some secret passage or back door.

Maybe there is a glimmer of hope.

Although this hope is slim.

But there is no other way now.

After Wang Huai arranged everything, he quietly went up to the city wall.

I found that the city gate was not open yet, and it seemed that something had gone wrong.

Wang Huai was shocked. Could there be a turning point?
Wang Huai came forward and poked his head to look down.

The only person standing in the front was Ma Suan who was riding a horse.

Is Ma Suan alone? Where is Lu Yi?
Could it be...

Wang Huai’s eyes suddenly opened wide and he felt a little excited.

He knew that Lu Yi was determined to follow the Eastern Palace, but Ma Suan was different.

Ma Suan has been wavering all the time. At the beginning, they were on the East Palace side and asked Lu Yi to say a lot of benefits to Ma Suan, but they never got a positive response from the other party.

Now, 100,000 Fanyang troops are approaching the city, but Lu Yi's men are nowhere to be seen.

Did something happen to Lu Yi?
Just when Wang Huai was thinking wildly and making all kinds of guesses.

Chu Shixu looked at the counselor with an unhappy expression, "What do you mean? The Fanyang army has arrived to help my East Palace. What is your intention in not opening the city gates?"
