At this time, the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion was full of people from the capital of Beiyue. The people at the gate heard the shrill cries of the Princess of Yan and the wife of General Yan, and in such an atmosphere, they also started crying.

But these people were not crying for Yan Ruian. In such an atmosphere, they thought of their family members who also died in the war. They were crying for their own families. How much they didn't want to fight anymore!

The funeral procession gradually left the Prince of Yan's Palace until all of them had left. The people who came to watch the fun also followed the funeral procession and continued to watch.

Many people also gathered on the streets of the capital, and almost all the citizens of the capital came to the streets they were going to pass through.

After the funeral procession left the Prince of Yan's Mansion, Prince of Qi Bei Jinheng seemed very sad because he had a good relationship with Yan Ruian. He insisted on sending Yan Ruian's coffin out of the city, so he left the Prince of Yan's Mansion with the funeral procession.

The Crown Prince Bei Jinheng, the Fifth Prince Bei Jinzhuo, and some ministers who came to see off the funeral were about to say goodbye, but Yan Hutu stepped forward, stopped the Crown Prince and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the Fifth Prince, and all the ministers..., I have prepared some food in my palace, please give me some favors..."

Having a meal after a funeral is a custom in Beiyue Kingdom and there is nothing wrong with it. The prince and his men could not say anything about it as they had anticipated it.

The Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince looked at each other, understood each other, and went to the dining room of Prince Yan's Mansion accompanied by Prince Yan.

Yan Hutu looked at his personal guard Huerkang, who turned and left after receiving the hint from the King of Yan. Prince Bei Jinheng saw this and pretended not to see it, and followed the King of Yan into the dining room.

……

The Yan family's cemetery is on the mountain of Yanqi Mountain in the western suburbs of the capital. The funeral procession needs to go to Yanqi Mountain and leave the city from the west gate of the capital. The Prince of Yan's Mansion is in the east of the city. The funeral procession needs to walk from the east city to the west gate and cross the East-West Street.

The team walked safely towards the West City Gate amid the sounds of funeral music. The funeral procession had already passed West Street and was approaching the West City Gate. The soldiers at the West City Gate also received orders and stood on both sides of the gate, waiting for the funeral procession to leave the city.

Walking in front were the Yan family soldiers who were leading the way, but no one noticed that the original team leading the way consisted of four columns and was very long, while now the team leaving the city had only about a hundred people, but the soldiers guarding the city were completely unaware of this.

Prince Qi Beijinqi and Prince Yan Ruihan, who left Prince Yan's Mansion with the funeral procession, were not in the funeral procession at this time.

The soldiers guarding the city gate watched the musicians playing funeral music, the flag-leading team and the ceremonial guard scattering yellow paper along the way.

They just stared at the excitement with their eyes open, then they stepped back to let the dozens of soldiers carrying the coffin pass by.

The soldiers carrying the coffin slowly walked out of the city gate, with many soldiers following behind them. At this moment, the soldiers guarding the city were killed by the Yan family soldiers who followed them with their swords before they knew what was going on. The soldiers who were walking at the end, carrying the funeral objects, did not show any surprise and continued to carry the funeral objects towards the outside of the city gate.

Some sharp-eyed people among the people saw the murder scene and screamed, "Oh no! Someone is killing someone! Someone is killing someone!" They were scared and ran away quickly. When other people heard it, they didn't dare to look and ran away in fear.

Some of the people who were still standing there in a daze and did not run away, saw soldiers with swords standing beside them and were immediately frightened and ran home, not understanding what was going on.

The entire capital city was filled with screams. The entrance of the West Gate was empty in an instant, and in the distance one could hear the funeral music outside the city.

The gatekeepers at the west gate had been replaced, and at this moment, "da da da," a group of people rushed in quickly from outside the city.

The first man on horseback was a man with a stubbled face and a deep scar on his face. His eyes were like two sharp knives. He held a sharp long knife in his hand and looked ferocious.

Behind the man, there were several other men on horseback, all holding sharp blades and looking fierce. Then came teams of soldiers.

At this time, a small leader from the Yan family army that was leading the funeral procession ran up to the man riding on the tall horse and said, "Young general Wugan, report to General Hutu, the west gate has been captured by us." The scarred man riding the horse was Hutuning, a capable general under Yan Hutu.

Two cold rays of light shot out from his eyes. "What's the situation with the other city gates?"

"Report to the general, Master Yan led his team to the East Gate and should have succeeded. The people at the South Gate are ours."

"Okay, Wugan, listen to my orders. Once all our people have entered the city, close the city gates immediately."

"Yes!"

"How many of you are there?"

"Report to the general, we only have two thousand people."

"Well! Then you will follow General Hutu and guard the city gate."

"Yes, General."

Hutunin turned to the man following behind him, his second son Hutu Shizhe, and said, "Shizhe, take 20,000 soldiers to guard the west gate. If they have reinforcements coming, beat them hard."

"Yes, father!"

He then said to another man beside him, his eldest son Hutu Shiwei: "Shiwei, take 10,000 people with you to the Prince of Yan's mansion and pick up your uncle to go to the palace."

"Yes, father."

"The rest of you will follow me to the palace."

"Yes," the people behind him said in unison.

The army of Prince Yan broke into the capital at lightning speed and headed straight for the palace.

At this time, the palace was already in chaos. After Prince Qi Bei Jinqi came out of Prince Yan's Mansion, he brought his troops to the palace. He led his men directly into the palace from Xichang Gate, seized Xichang Gate, and had his men guard the Xichang Gate.

He took his men and rushed directly to the Yangxin Palace where the emperor was resting.

……

At this time, the Prince of Yan's Mansion was not peaceful either.

The King of Yan led everyone into the dining room, and the Crown Prince and his companions came to the dining table, where the food had already been placed.

There were three tables in total, and the King of Yan and the Crown Prince sat at one table.

The prince sat down first. Standing next to him was his most powerful guard, Han Bing. The guards standing behind him were inconspicuous and no one knew them.

King Yan frowned, took a look at this man, and felt that his internal strength was average, so he didn't take it seriously. He also snorted in his heart, in my territory, let's see what Bei Jinheng can do.

Behind the Fifth Prince Bei Jinzhuo, there were also two guards. The Fifth Prince was rarely in the capital, and his guards were usually inconspicuous. Bringing two of them here today was even less likely to attract the attention of Prince Yan.

Some of the other ministers had no guards with them, while others were only accompanied by a guard who was like a household servant.
