Exile: Empty half of the capital and blow up the enemy's palace
Chapter 215: Catching the Idle King
Chapter 215: Catching the Idle King
After leaving the main hall, Marshal Yun said to Yun Chengyan and Yun Chengming, "Dalang, Erlang, take some of the Imperial Guards and arrest all those who are colluding with Prince Xian as mentioned in the secret letter. Don't let any of them escape!"
Yun Chengyan and Yun Chengming took the order and left, while Marshal Yun quickly gathered a thousand imperial guards to go to Prince Xian's mansion to capture Prince Xian. Yun Qingqing followed Marshal Yun to Prince Xian's mansion.
Marshal Yun rode a tall horse with an upright posture, leading the team.
Yun Qingqing followed closely behind, and the thousand royal guards marched in orderly steps, their armor flashing a cold light in the sunlight.
The people on the street were frightened by the scene and stood on both sides of the street to avoid it, whispering to each other as they watched the huge team.
"Why are there so many Royal Guards out today? Could something big have happened? Is there going to be another war?"
"It doesn't look like it. If there was a war, it would be soldiers going out to fight, not the Royal Guards running around in the city."
"Could it be that some minister has committed a crime and his property is going to be confiscated?" someone speculated.
"That may be the case, but to be able to mobilize so many Imperial Guards, and even have Marshal Yun personally lead the Imperial Guards to search the house, the identity of the minister who committed the crime must be extraordinary. Maybe he is a prince." A man who looked like a scholar guessed, touching his chin.
Just as everyone was talking, the team was already moving away.
At the same time, the spy arranged by Prince Xian in the palace was moving quickly in the alleys. He had to pass the news to Prince Xian before the Royal Guards so that he could make preparations in advance.
However, just as he arrived at an alley not far from Prince Xian's Mansion, he was blocked by a dark shadow. The person who stopped him was none other than Gu Wu, who was sent by Marshal Yun to monitor Prince Xian's Mansion. He stared at him coldly with an eagle-like gaze.
"Want to go to Prince Xian's mansion to inform the authorities?" Gu Wu asked in a cold voice.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?" the spy asked with a frown.
Gu Wu snorted coldly and said, "I am from the Duke of Huguo's Mansion and have been ordered to arrest you, a bunch of traitors."
After hearing this, a fierce look flashed in the spy's eyes. He suddenly attacked, and his right hand suddenly reached into his arms, where a poisoned dagger was hidden. He knew that there would be no way to survive if he was caught by the people from the Duke of Protector's Mansion. The only way to survive was to fight to the death. He moved very quickly and stabbed Gu Wu's throat.
Gu Wu was prepared and dodged to the side, easily avoiding the fatal blow. At the same time, he kicked the eyeliner's wrist. The eyeliner felt pain and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang. Then, he grabbed the eyeliner's collar and lifted him up. He smashed his right fist hard on the eyeliner's temple. The punch was so powerful that the eyeliner's head tilted to one side instantly, his eyes rolled back, and his body fell limply, completely motionless.
Gu Wu looked at the unconscious spy and spat coldly, "What an ignorant fellow!" He bent down to pick up the dagger on the ground. When he found it was laced with poison, his brows furrowed even tighter as he cursed, "What a bunch of cunning, treacherous bastards who only use low-level tactics!"
After Gu Wu finished cursing, he ordered his men to tie up the spies and continue to secretly monitor the area around Prince Xian's mansion.
After a while, Marshal Yun and his entourage arrived at the gate of Prince Xian's Mansion. In the sunlight, the armor of the Royal Guards gleamed brightly. Marshal Yun rode on a tall horse with a stern expression as he glanced around Prince Xian's Mansion.
"Surround the palace, don't let even a fly out!" Marshal Yun gave an order, and the Royal Guards acted quickly, surrounding the palace like a tide.
The gatekeeper of Prince Xian's mansion was shocked by the noise and turned around to go in and report to Prince Xian.
But as soon as he turned around, Marshal Yun had his men stop him.
Two royal guards stood in front of him like iron towers, with their spears held horizontally and the cold tips pressed against his throat.
"What...what do you want to do? This is Prince Xian's Mansion!" the doorman stammered, his legs shaking uncontrollably.
Marshal Yun dismounted, looked at the gatekeeper, and said in a cold voice: "Prince Xian is collaborating with the enemy and treason. I am here by the Emperor's order to capture Prince Xian. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"
When the doorman heard this, his face turned pale as paper, and he fell to his knees. "Old Marshal, please spare me, please spare me! I'm just a doorman, I don't know anything, please have mercy on me."
"Where is King Xian?" Marshal Yun asked in a deep voice.
The doorman replied tremblingly, "Old Marshal, Prince Xian is in the main house in the backyard. He broke his leg under a bookshelf yesterday and is now recuperating in bed."
After hearing this, Marshal Yun led a team of imperial guards to the backyard.
In the main house in the backyard, Prince Xian was lying on the bed, furious: "You bunch of useless people can't even lift a bookshelf. You caused my leg to be broken. What's the point of keeping you useless people!"
Several rows of guards knelt in front of his bed, all of them trembling with fear and not daring to make a sound.
The Prince of Xian became angrier and angrier as he cursed. He suddenly picked up the cup on the bedside table and threw it hard at the guard closest to him.
With a "clang", the cup exploded on the guard's forehead, fragments flew everywhere, and blood flowed down the guard's cheek.
But he knelt there like a wooden stake, not daring even to groan, his body shaking like a sieve.
"A bunch of useless people!" Prince Xian roared angrily. At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard, and someone ran while shouting anxiously: "Prince! It's bad! It's bad!"
A servant rushed in in a panic and fell to his knees with a thud. Before he could say anything, the Prince of Xian angrily shouted, "You idiot! Why are you howling? Can't you see I'm upset? If you dare to yell again, I'll chop off your head!"
The servant was so frightened that his face turned pale and his body was shaking like a sieve. He stammered, "Prince...Prince, something terrible has happened! Marshal Yun and the Imperial Guards have surrounded our palace and have already broken in!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Xian was furious and roared, "What does this old bastard want to do? I am the prince, how dare he!" Before he could finish his words, he suddenly realized something was wrong and asked his servants with a serious expression, "Who did he bring in with him?"
The servant replied tremblingly, "Reply...Reply Your Highness, Marshal Yun and the Imperial Guards broke into our mansion."
Prince Xian frowned when he heard this. The Imperial Guards would never act on their own unless the emperor gave the order. This old man brought the Imperial Guards into his mansion. Could it be that what he did was exposed? What would the emperor do to him?
The more Prince Xian thought about it, the uglier his expression became. He felt that he had done something extremely secretive about collaborating with the enemy and that no one else would be able to detect it.
Moreover, he hid the evidence in a very secret secret room in the palace. Only he knew the mechanism to open it. As long as he didn't speak out, no one could find it.
It must be that old man Yun disliked him and fabricated charges to trick the emperor into coming to his house to search for evidence.
Thinking of this, his expression softened a little. As long as this old man Yun couldn't find any evidence, he couldn't do anything to him. Then he would go to the emperor and complain about this old man Yun, saying that he didn't take the people of the royal family of the Great Zhou Kingdom seriously. He wanted the emperor to severely punish this old man Yun and vent his anger.
