My Lord, please respect yourself. I am the wife of a marquis.
Chapter 210 The Sixth Prince Becomes Emperor
It was impossible for the group to hide in the secret passage forever. It was only a matter of time before they were caught, unless they were too late.
Su Muxi explained the current situation to the emperor, then took the emperor's jade ring and a secret letter, and went out first to contact reinforcements, while Xiao Yunjin stayed behind to take care of the emperor and the marquis's wife.
Xiao Yunxiu sent many people to search, and they almost dug three feet into the ground, but they still couldn't find the entrance to the secret passage.
He even wanted to question An Yutang if he had lied to him. Xiao Yunzheng was losing his temper in the palace when he received an urgent report from the border.
"Emergency news from the border: Jingyu City is in danger, and the 200,000-strong army of Feng Country is approaching."
With a clang, a vase as tall as a person shattered into pieces. Xiao Yunjin's body shook. He never expected that the Feng Kingdom, which had already surrendered, would attack the city at this time.
He did not attack the deserted Guanshan City, but attacked Jingyu City instead. It was obvious that he knew that the troops of Jingyu City had been transferred by Marquis Jian'an.
There are spies and traitors.
Xiao Yunxiu is now facing internal and external troubles, and is attacked from all sides. The secret passage in the palace has not been found yet. It's okay if the Sixth Prince escapes, but if the Emperor escapes, then what can he do?
Now Jingyu Pass is in danger. If Marquis Jian'an goes to support, the capital city cannot be defended. The Sixth Prince will be unstoppable and capture the capital city, and his death will not be far away.
If they don't provide support, Jingyu Pass is the closest to Beijing, and after breaking the city, they can go straight into the capital, and even Dayun Dynasty will become a vassal state of Feng Kingdom.
Xiao Yunxiu was in a dilemma and didn't know how to make a decision.
"Your Majesty," Xiao Yunxiu's adviser offered a suggestion, "As long as the princess remains trapped in the secret passage, the defense camp over there can be used by Your Majesty."
Xiao Yunxiu was enlightened, and he immediately ordered, "Come here, tell the commander of the border defense camp."
Marquis Jian'an was also replaced. When he heard about the incident at Jingyu Pass, he immediately rushed back. That place was his territory and his capital. He could not lose it, nor could he let others make achievements there and take away his achievements.
Finally it was agreed that Marquis Jian'an would leave with 80,000 soldiers to provide support at Jingyu Pass, while Cao Tie would lead the remaining defenders in the capital to attack General Weiyuan from the flank and guard the imperial city.
The border guards were watching with concern and the city was in the midst of war. At this time, He Yuncheng also led the army of Prince Huaiyang into the capital.
Xiao Yunxiu was exhausted and wanted to capture Prince Huaiyang to threaten him, but he found that Prince Jin's mansion was deserted and he didn't see a single person.
At this time, he was really panicking and didn't know what to do. Whether it was He Yuncheng or the Sixth Prince, if any of them attacked, he would have no chance of survival. He Yuncheng now had an imperial decree, and he was the legitimate king of the city.
Xiao Yunxiu had no choice but to give an order, asking the border defense battalion to send back half of its troops to suppress He Yuncheng first.
The Imperial Guards, the 20,000 elite troops left by Marquis Jian'an, and the 40,000 elite troops of the border defense camp were used to deal with General Weiyuan's 100,000 elite troops.
The three parties combined only had more people, and each had their own strategic arrangements, like a pile of loose sand, and the city was breached overnight.
Marquis Jian'an wanted to return to defend the city, but was restrained. The newly appointed commander of Jingyu Pass directly cut off his head.
General Weiyuan led his troops directly into the palace, and Xiao Yunxiu committed suicide in the hall.
The Sixth Prince proclaimed himself emperor, and General Weiyuan and the Border Defense Battalion worked together to suppress He Yuncheng.
At this point, the matter was very clear; Marquis Yong'an had become a favorite of the new emperor.
Su Muxi's forbearance was all for the purpose of catching the culprit who framed her father in the previous life. The first thing she did when she left the city was to write a letter to Fei Ge to send to Jin Chengyun, the second prince of Feng Kingdom, agreeing to the previous cooperation.
The Sixth Prince sat firmly on the throne. In his opinion, as long as he killed He Yuncheng, who threatened him, the root of everything would be cut off and he would be the one to unify the world.
But the Sixth Prince took things for granted. His life was too smooth, which led to him having no ability to deal with unexpected events.
"What is going on?" Xiao Yunyu questioned Yong'an Hou, "Why is Feng Nation still pressing on?"
Yong'an Hou was also panicked, "This is impossible, I am delivering the letter now."
Xiao Yunyu waved his hand and asked him to retreat. "Grandpa, what should we do now? What if Feng Country attacks Guanshan City instead?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry," General Weiyuan said confidently, "Before coming here, I have already borrowed troops from the Duke of Zhenguo. Guanshan City is safe."
Xiao Yunyu calmed down and said, "There is still no news about Su Muxi. Grandfather, I have a bad feeling in my heart. Will the Duke of Zhenguo come with his troops?"
General Weiyuan also had this concern. Originally, he was planning to use the Yong'an Marquis line on the Zhenguo Duke, but now that Xiao Yunxiu had interfered, he could only use it on the Jian'an Marquis.
"The Duke of Zhenguo won't do that. Su Muxi is a very capable person. Your Majesty should be more cautious." General Weiyuan gave the final order, "Dispatch a new group of troops and make sure to find the family of the Duke of Zhenguo."
How could Su Muxi be found if she hid the person? After sending the letter, Su Muxi went directly to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. The most dangerous place is the safest place. A Da had been lying in ambush for such a long time, naturally, to capture Prince Huaiyang.
Xiao Yunxiu couldn't find him at all at that time, and even thought that Prince Huaiyang had left the city to meet He Yuncheng. But in fact, that was not the case. Su Muxi had invited him personally, so how could he let him go so easily.
Su Muxi holds the emperor's ring, has the bargaining chip of Prince Huaiyang in her hand, and has the help of Jin Chengyun thousands of miles away. She has already been invincible.
But even she had not expected that the person behind Marquis Yong'an would be General Weiyuan, and the one who would ultimately benefit would be the little prince who had always called her Sister Mu.
Marquis Yong'an did not call for an end to the war, and even the letters he sent fell on deaf ears.
Feng State attacked the city, and Jingyu Pass was on the verge of collapse. Xiao Yunyu had him captured and beheaded in public as a sacrifice.
However, it had no substantial effect. People were in a panic and rioted.
General Weiyuan was unable to cope with all the other tasks and could only lead his troops to assist at Jingyu Pass. Xiao Yunyu was young after all, and he felt his heart break when the emperor suddenly appeared in front of him. He subconsciously looked at An Yutang, silently questioning him why he lied to him.
An Yutang raised the knife and swung it towards Xiao Yunyu. He didn't know why he lied to Xiao Yunyu. He only knew that after today, his life would be over.
All this happened unexpectedly. The emperor did not expect An Yutang to kill Xiao Yunyu, and Jin Huazun did not expect why they were allies but turned their swords against each other.
His master was dead, so he could only flee first. How could Xiao Yunjin let him go? It was this man who injured Su Muxi's arm. Xiao Yunjin drew out the soft sword from his waist and fought with Jinhua Zun.
An Yutang was surrounded by heavy troops. "Your Majesty, my father's crime is unforgivable. Please consider my loyalty over the years and spare the An family's life."
An Yutang tightened his grip on the knife. He looked at Su Muxi across the crowd and said, "Princess, please explain to His Majesty that the assassination was a plan arranged by you and me."
Su Muxi's eyes were red. This was not arranged in advance. An Yutang was entrusting his son to her care and trying to suppress her soft heart with his life. He had already made up his mind to threaten her with death during the assassination.
She knew that An Yutang was waiting for her to express her opinion, but as soon as she did, An Yutang would commit suicide. He didn't want to redeem himself by doing meritorious service, he wanted to preserve the glory of the An family for life with his death.
He was so cruel. He wanted to protect the An family, but he wanted to use his death to make her feel guilty.
Su Muxi didn't want to be coerced, but she couldn't bear to see that the An family was left with only orphans and a widow.
What's more, An Yutang killed Xiao Yunyu for her. An Yutang was so smart that he knew that Xiao Yunyu would be a threat to her if he was alive.
Finally, Su Muxi nodded. "Yes, the assassination was done so that Commander An could gain the trust of Prince Xiu."
An Yutang smiled, with the smile that Su Muxi was most familiar with on his lips, and ended his life with a scimitar.
Until his death, An Yutang's eyes were always looking at Su Muxi with a smile in them, as if dying in front of Su Muxi was his favorite destination.
Su Muxi watched An Yutang fall in front of her, her vision blurry. Before she could react, she was embraced in a warm embrace.
She closed her eyes and buried her head in Xiao Yunjin's neck.
Xiao Yunjin held the person in his arms and used the hand holding the soft sword to signal to take the person away.
The emperor was also greatly shocked. His two sons died tragically in succession. Even if they deserved it, it was hard for him to bear.
The death of An Yutang also dealt him a big blow. Knowing the secret for twenty years, he didn't want to let the An family go. But now Su Muxi was protecting them, and Duke An, Old Lady An, An Yutang, and other people involved in the incident died one after another. If he kept chasing them, it would be bad.
Su Muxi quickly calmed down, and when she looked up again, she was still the indestructible Su Muxi. Except for the darker area on Xiao Yunjin's collar, she could no longer see anything.
