Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 192 The Wang Family Are All Cowards
Wang Huai's body was stiff, not daring to move, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Heng Yi sitting behind Lu Yi.

Although he was wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier of the Fanyang Army, that handsome face could only belong to Hengyi.

Wang Huai's mind was completely clear.

I was even more excited.

He let out a long sigh, looking relieved.

It was obvious that the Heng family army had mixed into the Fanyang army.

This means that Ma Suan has completely changed sides.

Wang Huai, the spy planted in the Eastern Palace, finally saw a glimmer of hope.

Not only did Wang Huai see Hengyi, he also saw Huangfu Jian following behind Ma Suan!
He understood that this must be the result of Huangfu Jian and Hengyi leading hundreds of people to intercept the Fanyang army.

However, what surprised him was that Lu Yi died so quickly.

Wang Huai knew that he was in the same group with Hengyi and his gang, but the other party didn't know.

Ma Suan and Heng Yi saw that Wang Huai was not panicked at all, and looked calm and relieved. He even breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was finally relieved.

What's the situation?
But at this moment, Ma Suan did not dare to take it lightly.

He lowered his voice and warned him in a voice that only Wang Huai could hear, "Wang Huai, if you dare to do anything wrong, believe it or not, I will chop off your head right now, just like I chopped off Lu Yi's head with my own hands? Then our 100,000-strong army will break through the city gate and rush in to capture the prince!"

Believe it! Wang Huai naturally believed it.

But now he is happier.

Wang Huai laughed, "Master Ma, you misunderstood. We are one people."

With just one word, they are our own people, and Ma Suan, Hengyi and others will not be able to be dealt with directly.

Huangfu Jian frowned and whispered to Hengyi, "Be careful of this kid cheating!"

Ma Suan doesn't look like that.

He was closest to Wang Huai and could see Wang Huai's expression most clearly.

He clearly didn't look like he was pretending.

Ma Suan simply asked directly, "Wang Huai, stop playing tricks!"

Wang Huai immediately said, "Everyone, I, Wang Huai, have long been fed up with the mob in the Eastern Palace. It was me who ordered people to secretly send letters to the palace, and it was me who delayed the attack on the Eastern Palace."

After Wang Huai said this, Ma Suan still didn't dare to take it lightly.

"Wang Huai, you are not afraid of death, so you deliberately lied to us. After we let you in, you can expose us to Chu Shixu and say that Lu Yi is dead and the Fanyang army has rebelled, right?"

After Ma Suan finished speaking, Heng Yi's sword stabbed Wang Huai hard.

Wang Huai frowned in pain.

Just then, Chu Shixu's voice came from the city gate tower.

On the city floor.

Chu Shixu looked down at the strange scene below the city with a suspicious look on his face.

He asked loudly, "Wang Huai, what's going on? Why are you dawdling?"

Wang Huai rolled his eyes and shouted at the top of his voice, "Your Highness, everything is normal! I was just greeting Lord Lu. Lord Lu has caught a cold and has difficulty speaking."

When Chu Shixu saw Wang Huai walk between Lu Yi and Ma Su'an but did not move, his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, could there really be something wrong inside the Fanyang Army?

As a result, Wang Huai said that Lu Yi was sick and had difficulty speaking.

If he was really sick, then Lu Yi's pale face and the strange way he spoke just now could be explained.

A counselor beside Chu Shixu said, "Your Highness, since there is no problem, order the city gates to be opened. After the Fanyang army enters the city, we will also have more strength to fight against the Liangzhou army and the Jinyang army."

Wang Laosan on the side nodded hurriedly in agreement.

"Yes, yes, Your Highness, quickly let the Fanyang army in, then close the city gates and set up control inside the city. When the Liangzhou and Jinyang armies come, we will be able to take care of them."

Chu Shixu pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

He knew very well that the current situation was critical and more strength meant more hope.

He waved his hand and shouted to the guards below: "Open the city gate!"

Now that the doubts have been dispelled, there is naturally nothing to hesitate about.

Open the city gate directly to let the Fan Yang army in.

However, even so, Chu Shixu was not completely relieved.

When he ordered the city gates to be opened, he also ordered the 10,000 defenders in the city to be on high alert.

If there is still a problem, he will have time to react.

Outside the city gate.

Ma Suan looked at Wang Huai deeply and thought, could this kid really betray the Eastern Palace?
In order to prevent Wang Huai from using the bomb, Heng Yi walked slowly. She deliberately slowed down her pace and still calmly pressed the sword against Wang Huai's back.

As long as the Fanyang army has not completely entered the city gate, Hengyi will control Wang Huai.

After all, they all knew that there must be an ambush in the city.

Once they discover anything unusual, Chu Shixu's people in the city will immediately start a massacre.

However, at this moment, the one who was most worried was Chu Shixu.

The gap in power between the inside and outside of the city was too great. If there was any problem with the Fanyang army, his more than 10,000 defenders would not be able to resist at all.

Seeing the city gate open and the Fanyang army rushing in, Chu Shixu and others became very nervous.

Wang Huai followed at the end of the team. He appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil.

He secretly glanced at Chu Shixu on the city wall and sneered in his heart: Idiot, you don’t even know that you are about to die!
He was already eager to see the wonderful expressions on Wang Laosan and his gang's faces.

As the Fanyang army entered the city one after another, the city gates slowly closed again. Inside the city, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The soldiers defending the city gripped their weapons tightly and looked at these "friendly forces" vigilantly.

Ma Suan reined in his warhorse, looked around, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He dismounted, walked up to Chu Shixu, and said, "Your Highness, I have been ordered to come to support you!"

Chu Shixu nodded and was about to speak.

Someone behind him suddenly pointed in Lu Yi's direction and shouted in fear.

"Master Lu...Master Lu's head...has fallen off!"

As soon as the words fell, Chu Shixu and others were petrified instantly.

Everyone looked at Lu Yi.

On the horse's back, Lu Yi's head fell beside the horse's hoof, with messy straw exposed on his neck, and his body fell lightly from the horse's back.

At this moment, Chu Shixu instantly realized that he had been deceived!

He looked at Wang Huai fiercely. Wang Huai got goose bumps all over his body because of Chu Shixu's stare, and a cold and murderous aura spread around him.

Wang Huai turned his head away immediately to avoid Chu Shixu's gaze.

Chu Shixu questioned Ma Suan, "Master Ma, what is Master Lu doing?"

At this moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Ma Su'an didn't say a word. The two people beside him raised their heads and showed their faces to Chu Shixu.

"Your Highness, long time no see!"

Hengyi and Huangfu Jian sneered at Chu Shixu.

When Chu Shixu saw them, his heart even skipped a beat.

"Ma Su'an, how dare you betray me!" Chu Shixu couldn't hold it in any longer.

Even if he was slow to react, he should have realized that Lu Yi was killed and Ma Su'an had become part of the same group as Huangfu Jian and Heng Yi.

He himself became a joke and was stabbed in the back by Ma Su'an.

Upon hearing this, Ma Suan sneered, "Your Highness, where do you get this from? When did I, Ma Suan, ever express my willingness to work for you? I, Ma Suan, work for the Great Zhou Dynasty, for Your Majesty! I work for the people of the Great Zhou!"

Again!
Ma Suan started to increase the value again.

Chu Shixu was so angry that he was shaking all over.

After Chu Shixu reacted, he immediately gave orders, summoning more than 10,000 defenders in the city to protect him and evacuate.

The group of East Palace think tanks who followed Chu Shixu were so frightened that their faces turned pale. In panic, they followed Chu Shixu and hid behind the defenders.

Although more than 10,000 defenders are not many, they can still resist a wave in a short period of time.

Under the cover of everyone, Chu Shixu rode on the warhorse that had been prepared long ago and quickly evacuated towards the palace.

"Your Highness, our only escape route now is the palace. As long as we capture the emperor, we still have a chance of survival."

Wang Laosan rode his horse to Chu Shixu and shouted loudly.

Chu Shixu had no better choice at this time and could only choose to trust Wang Laosan.

He gritted his teeth and gave a stern order: "Pass the order down, let some of the defenders hold back the Fanyang army in the front, and the rest of the people protect me and rush into the palace!"

What Wang Laosan said was right. In fact, Chu Shixu had already had this plan. Without him saying anything, Chu Shixu knew that retreating to the palace and capturing Emperor Yongjin was their only way out and their only hope.

Chu Shixu was fooled by the Fan Yang army and was full of anger, but now he had no time to be angry, let alone complain.

The most urgent priority is to save lives.

That’s an army of 100,000.

It's only a matter of time before we break through their camp.

Chu Shixu stared at Wang Laosan fiercely, "Damn it! There is a spy in your Wang family! That Wang Huai deserves to die, I will kill him with my own hands!"

When Chu Shixu thought of Wang Huai's face, he wanted to kill Wang Huai immediately.

Wang Laosan kept his mouth shut and dared not say another word.

He is also responsible for this matter.

If he hadn't been timid and cowardly just now, he would have been the one leaving the city gate, and he wouldn't have been taken advantage of by Wang Huai.

Now it seems that Wang Huai had planned this all along.

The reason why he dared to stand up and took the initiative to apply to go out and check it out himself was that he had actually been prepared for it.

Chu Shixu was filled with grief and anger.

When did Wang Huai rebel?
This kid actually hid so well, hanging around under his nose all day long, and no one noticed.

The Wang family members who had fled with Chu Shixu all had grim expressions on their faces.

The spy appeared inside their Wang family and was defeated by their own family. This made them feel very ashamed and angry.

"Wang Huai! That kid has been so timid since he was a child. How dare he do that!"

Wang Laosan angrily cursed at the other person.

However, it's too late to say anything now.

Chu Shixu ordered the defenders to immediately send out a part of their troops to set up roadblocks on the streets and fight desperately to resist the pursuit of the Fanyang army.

Chu Shixu himself led the remaining defenders and rushed straight to the palace.

This is the only way to slow down the speed of the Fanyang army and buy more time for themselves.

Chu Shixu made a prompt decision and gave another order: "Immediately send out some troops to set up roadblocks on the streets and fight to the death against the pursuit of the Fanyang Army! Make sure to buy us some time!"

He looked around and his eyes fell on a trusted guard. "You, rush to the East Palace immediately and inform the families there to escape through the small path! Tell them that the situation is urgent and to leave immediately without delay!"

The guard took the order, jumped onto a fast horse, and quickly disappeared around the corner of the street.

Chu Shixu looked at the guard's receding back and felt a surge of sadness in his heart.

He knew that if he failed, Emperor Yongjin would never let his family go.

He had seen the cruelty of Emperor Yongjin, and he would cut the weeds completely and leave no future troubles.

He would never let his wife, children and the elderly fall into the hands of Emperor Yongjin and suffer such torture.

He had to give them a chance to survive.

Now we can only try our best to protect them.

Chu Shixu and his companions rode their horses at full speed, their hearts burning with anxiety, and they kept urging the horses under them.

He knew that he was racing against time and against death.

Given the current situation, it goes without saying that the palace has long been heavily guarded.

Emperor Yongjin was not a fool. He should have already received news about the chaos outside.

However, Chu Shixu knew that the guards in the palace were not enough to resist him.

Those guards from the Wude Division must have already placed people on guard at all the important roads in the palace.

And at this time.

Ma Su'an was leading the elite troops of Fanyang in hot pursuit.

Ma Su'an was riding on a tall horse with a stern expression on his face. The long sword in his hand was dripping with blood, which was the blood of the East Palace guards who had just stopped him.

"Chase! Don't let any of them go! I want to take off Chu Shixu's dog head myself!"

Ma Suan rushed to the front this time.

Although he is a fence-sitter, this time, he is determined that Chu Shixu is doomed, and he has completely broken off relations with Chu Shixu, so he might as well kill him to the end.

Don't leave any survivors for the other side.

After all, once the other party has the opportunity to counterattack, your fate will be miserable in the future.

Therefore, Ma Su'an was determined to kill Chu Shixu at all costs.

Hengyi and Huangfu Jian stood side by side on the city wall, overlooking the chaotic scene in the city.

Heng Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, "This Chu Shixu really won't cry until he sees the coffin. He is trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm, overestimating his own capabilities."

Huangfu Jian nodded in agreement.

"He thinks he can turn the tables by retreating to the palace? What wishful thinking. Your Majesty has already laid a net of heaven and earth in the palace. With Dou Li by your side, nothing can go wrong!"

However, at this moment, Guo Qian rushed to the bottom of the city wall with a group of people.

Seeing Huangfu Jian and Hengyi, Guo Qian excitedly stepped forward and clasped his fists, "You two, I really didn't expect the situation today. Thanks to General Hengyi, if she hadn't proposed to intercept the Fanyang army and seize the last chance, I'm afraid Ma Su'an would have been persuaded by Lu Yi and really brought a hundred thousand troops to help. We would have died together by now!"

Today's battle was fought quietly and beautifully.

It's all based on cheating.

The greatest credit for all this naturally goes to Hengyi, who dares to think and act.

Guo Qian has great admiration for Hengyi.

A woman who is thoughtful, brave, resourceful, and even more rare is that she is also a ventriloquist.

Hengyi and Huangfu Jian smiled.

Guo Qian changed the subject and said hurriedly, "However, Chu Shixu is now leading the remnants of his army to flee to the palace, intending to hold Your Majesty hostage. We must immediately find a way to notify Dou Li in the palace and have him make all preparations to protect the safety of Your Majesty!"
