At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

For a moment, Xiao Yan wondered if there was something wrong with his hearing.

Not only did Xia Yun refuse to go with him, he also wanted him to withdraw from the troops?

"Ninth Prince, quickly order the Imperial Guards to withdraw from the battlefield, or it will be too late to regret."

Seeing that Xiao Yan did not move, Xia Yun urged him, and on his face there was a rather creepy smile.

"Xia Yun, do you know what you are talking about?!"

Xiao Yan didn't understand what was going on and could only let out a loud shout.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Xia is not a reckless person. I will explain today's matter to Your Majesty another day."

Xia Yun continued to respond.

Upon hearing this, even though Xiao Yan was full of doubts, he had to obey Xia Yun's orders. With a wave of his hand, he ordered all the imperial guards to retreat towards the outskirts of the street.

When Mu Tianxin saw this scene, a hint of arrogance immediately appeared on his face.

"Go away, Xiao Yan. Sooner or later, I will make you submit to me in person!"

Mu Tianxin said secretly.

His primary purpose of coming here tonight was to capture King Zhao, or more precisely, for the 20,000 elite cavalry in King Zhao's hands!

Now the King of Zhao has made a serious mistake by launching a military operation in the capital. He only needs to capture the King of Zhao and impeach him for the crime of treason.

By then, King Zhao will surely fall!

He then asked the ministers in the court to make a report to the emperor, demonstrating his achievements in suppressing the rebellion in the capital. By then, the 20,000 elite cavalry in the hands of King Zhao would most likely be his.

To take a step back, even if he failed to obtain the 20,000 elite cavalry under the command of King Zhao in the end, the loss of a figure like King Zhao in the capital could be regarded as a hundred benefits to him with no harm at all!

This is also why when he learned that King Zhao led his army to Fenglai Inn, he did not hesitate to dispatch almost all of his heavy armored infantry to come.

After just a few dozen breaths, Xiao Yan successfully led his imperial guards and withdrew from the central battlefield outside the inn.

However, he still did not completely follow Xia Yun's instructions and directly exit the street.

After all, he didn't know what Xia Yun was going to do.

If something unexpected happened in the end, he might still have a chance to rescue Xia Yun.

On the other hand, Xia Yun nodded in satisfaction only after seeing Xiao Yan lead his troops to retreat dozens of meters away.

But then, Xia Yun gave Jiang Wenzhong a look.

Jiang Wen understood what he meant and blew a whistle immediately!

The clear and loud sound of whistles spread throughout the street. At the same time, in Fenglai Inn, eight armed guards seemed to have received some kind of order and ran directly towards the gate.

Seeing this scene, the empress could no longer remain calm!

The secret guards who had been monitoring Dai County had previously reported on a new weapon developed by Xia Yun, a flintlock rifle that could fire ammunition continuously, which was the gun in the hands of the eight guards just now.

Could it be that...?

When she thought of the scene that was about to appear, a look of fear appeared in the empress's cold eyes.

After just a few breaths, the empress made up her mind and her eyes shifted to a secret guard beside her.

This person was the secret guard who had crossed the outer battlefield and came to her side not long ago.

"Hand this over to Lord Xu immediately."

The empress spoke in a low voice and handed a jade pendant to the secret guard.

The secret guard took the jade pendant, nodded respectfully, and rushed towards the door of the inn again.

When the man in black appeared outside the inn again.

The eyes of Xiao Yan, Prince Zhao, and Mu Tianxin all converged on the man in black once again.

"Why are those people here?"

"..."

Xiao Yan looked at Fenglai Inn with a puzzled look on his face, murmuring softly.

In fact, including Mu Tianxin and Xiao Tiannan, the three were puzzled by the appearance of the secret guards here.

This is also the reason why Mu Tianxin never allowed anyone to enter the inn after he ordered the attack on King Zhao and Xia Yun.

As princes of the imperial court, they naturally knew of the existence of secret guards.

Generally speaking, secret guards are doing work for the palace, and wherever secret guards appear, it means they are investigating something.

Is there any secret in Fenglai Inn?

The three of them racked their brains but couldn't figure it out.

"Mu Tianxin, you old dog! If I get out alive today, I will definitely grind you to dust!"

King Zhao, who was fighting a bloody battle with the heavy armored infantry, had no time to think too much, and his mind was soon filled with anger and hatred.

"This king will let you get out alive, but your final destination can only be the Heavenly Prison!"

Hearing Xiao Tiannan's curse, Mu Tianxin snorted coldly, with a smug look on his face.

Although Mu Chun had not been rescued yet, he seemed to have seen the peak of his life after the fall of King Zhao!

Xia Yun, who was at the center of the battlefield, like everyone else, saw the man in black slipping away from Fenglai Inn.

Just like when the other side came, when the man in black left, all the troops that were fighting each other on the field acted as if they didn't see his existence and allowed him to pass through the battlefield.

Xia Yun pondered for a moment, then looked meaningfully in the direction of the inn.

"Do it!"

After the man in black disappeared from the battlefield, Xia Yun withdrew his gaze, his eyes flashed with coldness, and an extremely cold voice came out of his mouth!

At the same time, the eight armed guards who had appeared in front of him received the order and pulled the trigger directly!

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

In a flash, all the noise at the scene seemed to disappear, and a burst of extremely fierce gunfire instantly filled the entire street!

Batch after batch of heavy-armored infantrymen fell directly into a pool of blood! They didn't even have the slightest ability to fight back!

This scene made Xiao Yan, Mu Tianxin and Xiao Tiannan dumbfounded on the spot!

At this time, Xiao Yan finally understood why Xia Yun had asked him to lead the Imperial Guards to withdraw from the center of the battlefield in advance!

It turns out that Xia Yun actually has a weapon of mass destruction with such terrifying power in his hands!

Those heavy armored infantrymen who were extremely difficult to deal with in their eyes were like ants on the roadside in front of Xia Yun's peculiarly shaped weapons and could be easily crushed to death!

"Everyone, do not retreat! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

Mu Tianxin was also dumbfounded at this moment. In just one encounter, dozens of his heavy armored infantrymen had died!

Not only that, after seeing this situation, the other heavy armored infantrymen were filled with fear and anxiety, and began to retreat to the rear!

In order to avoid a complete collapse of military morale, Mu Tianxin quickly issued an order and dispatched a team of supervisors to stop the frightened heavy armored infantry.
