Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Xue Yao looked up and saw Bai Yichen hurried in with a serious look on his face. "Miss Xue Yao, I have learned some information."

Xue Yao quickly stood up and walked forward, "Mr. Bai, what did you find?"

Bai Yichen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Something has indeed happened in the capital. The emperor is under house arrest in the palace, and the power of the government has fallen into the hands of Prince Jing. They have taken control of Princess Wan'er and everyone who may be related to her."

Prince Jing?

rebel?

Xueyao's heart sank. She had heard of this man. He was always openly opposing the Emperor, while secretly recruiting forces from all sides. He was a prince with considerable influence in the court.

This man had a violent temper and had always coveted the throne. Because the previous king had given him troops to protect his life, the emperor had been unable to touch him for years. Unexpectedly, he would attack at this very moment.

"Prince Jing is making trouble at this time. This..." Xue Yao said solemnly, "Perhaps the Emperor sent people to retrieve Princess Wan'er and sent Li Tianyao out of the city to pick us up. This was all his plan."

Bai Yichen shook his head. "I don't know the details, but one thing is certain: Prince Jing has already taken control of most of the military forces in the capital."

Xue Yao looked at Bai Yichen, "Mr. Bai, we must act quickly and not let Prince Jing succeed."

Bai Yichen nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, but the situation in the capital is complicated, we must act with caution."

Xueyao nodded in agreement.

Just then, there was another burst of hurried footsteps outside the tent.

Xue Yao and Bai Yichen looked at each other and were both shocked.

They quickly walked out of the tent, only to see Li Tianyao and several of his men running over hurriedly, with a hint of panic on their faces, "Miss Xueyao, something's wrong."

"Commander Li, what do you say?" Xue Yao asked hurriedly.

Li Tianyao was still panting as he spoke anxiously, "Just now, my men were patrolling outside the city when they discovered spies sent by Prince Jing. They seem to be secretly monitoring us and preparing to harm us."

"Where are the people?" Xue Yao asked.

Li Tianyao: "My men saw those people acting suspiciously, so they arrested one of them. After the interrogation, they realized that something serious had happened in the palace."

Xueyao stared at Li Tianyao quietly, and then heard him say, "In the palace..."

What he said was roughly the same as what Bai Yichen knew, except that Bai Yichen knew it in more detail.

After hearing this, Xue Yao's face darkened. She turned to look at Bai Yichen, and both of them showed determination in their eyes.

Bai Yichen said calmly, "It seems that Prince Jing has already known our whereabouts. We must change our plan and cannot enter the city by the original route."

"Yes, with so many people, even makeup won't work." Li Tianyao felt very embarrassed.

Xue Yao nodded. She took a deep breath and said, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take the initiative. Commander Li, there's no time to lose. Let's discuss a countermeasure first."

Li Tianyao nodded and followed Xueyao and Bai Yichen into the tent. As soon as the three of them sat down, they began to discuss their next plan of action.

Xue Yao said, "We must act quickly, otherwise if Prince Jing succeeds completely, things will become even more difficult."

Bai Yichen pondered for a moment and suggested, "We can first send a small team of capable personnel to sneak into the capital to find out the specific situation, understand the deployment of Prince Jing's troops and the defense of the imperial palace. This way, we can not only understand the situation, but also prepare for the next action."

Xue Yao nodded in agreement. "Mr. Bai's suggestion is excellent. However, this mission to infiltrate the capital is extremely dangerous, so we need to select the most reliable personnel."

They said they were selecting the most reliable personnel, the eight members of the Secret Garden plus Bai Yichen. If they had to choose, they would have to go to Li Tianyao.

Li Tianyao took a deep breath and said, "I am willing to lead this team personally and sneak into the capital. But, this city gate..." He felt that entering this city gate would be harder than climbing to the sky.

It’s not that Xueyao has no solution.

However, there were some things she had to clarify from Li Tianyao.

"Commander Li, can you tell me roughly about the situation in the palace?" Xue Yao looked at Li Tianyao and asked.

"Miss Xueyao, what do you want to know?" At this time, Li Tianyao felt that he and Xueyao were tied to the same rope.

"Can you tell me about the royal family's situation?" Xue Yao smiled and asked Li Tianyao tentatively.

Li Tianyao then told the general situation in the palace in detail.

After hearing this, Xue Yao finally understood why Prince Jing was so unscrupulous.

It turned out that Prince Jing had been secretly forming cliques in the court in recent years, winning over many high-ranking officials in the court, and even some guards and eunuchs in the palace had secretly sided with him.

In addition, he held the troops bestowed by the previous king, and he also secretly increased his forces by a considerable amount. With a total of 200,000 troops, his strength was already quite formidable.

After hearing this, Xueyao frowned.

Therefore, this time he took advantage of Li Tianyao taking the army out and suddenly attacked the emperor, which really caught everyone off guard.

She hadn't expected Prince Jing's power to be so vast, and she hadn't expected the palace's defenses to be infiltrated by his men. She couldn't help but worry about the safety of Princess Wan'er and the Emperor.

Seeing this, Li Tianyao quickly comforted her, "Miss Xueyao, don't worry too much. Although Prince Jing's power is enormous, we are not without a chance. As long as we can find a way to enter the city, we may be able to escape danger."

Xue Yao nodded and said to Li Tianyao and Bai Yichen, "Now that we understand the situation, let's prepare for action. Commander Li, I'll find a way to enter the city, but please restrain your men first. Don't ask about anything afterward, just follow my orders."

Li Tianyao didn't quite understand what she meant, but nodded in agreement.

Bai Yichen knew what Xue Yao wanted to do, so he naturally agreed unconditionally.

He pondered for a moment and said, "After entering the city, we will split into two groups. One group will be led by Commander Li. If we can capture Prince Jing, we will do so directly. If we can't, we will attract his attention directly. The other group will be led by Miss Xueyao and me. We will secretly infiltrate the capital and look for an opportunity to rescue the Emperor and Princess Wan'er."

After hearing this, Xue Yao thought this was a feasible plan. She nodded in agreement and immediately began to arrange the specific details of the action.

The two men quickly refined their plan, ensuring every step was foolproof. This operation concerned the safety of the nation, and even more so, the safety of Princess Wan'er and the Emperor; there could be no mistakes.

Li Tianyao's men were urgently summoned, and each of them had a solemn look on their faces. After listening to Xue Yao and Bai Yichen's plan, they all expressed their willingness to fight to the death for the country and the emperor.

It was late at night, and in another hour the sky would begin to turn pale.

At this time, in the capital, two hundred fully armed elite soldiers seemed to have dropped from the sky and appeared silently in the backyard of Prince Jing's Mansion.

On the other side, the emperor drank the medicine and fell into a deep sleep on the dragon bed. Looking at the person in front of him, he thought he was dreaming again.
