Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

Yang Taining frowned, looked ahead and took a deep breath.

He looked at the dark crowd ahead and was silent for several breaths before he asked in confusion, "This number of people seems a little off."

The commander-in-chief of Shanxi, a veteran general, could of course roughly estimate the number of people with just a few glances, and he knew best how many troops he had mobilized.

Zhu Gang's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Which guards have been delayed?"

Yang Taining shook his head: "There are not fewer people, there are too many people!" This is the most wrong thing!

"More people?" Zhu Gang frowned, not realizing what was going on. After a moment's thought, he guessed, "Could it be that someone under your command has managed to mobilize more troops?"

"I don't know." Yang Taining himself didn't understand what was going on. He could only squint his eyes and stare at the troops in front of him who were lined up in an orderly manner and galloping towards him.

The team was moving at a fairly fast pace.

Soon, he came in front of them.

Yang Taining took a closer look and saw that the man in the lead was dressed in military uniform. He was very tall and strong, with a face full of flesh. He exuded a cold and fierce aura from head to toe, giving people a chilling feeling.

He immediately took a deep breath and said with a serious expression: "I don't know the leader."

As he spoke, his heart began to lift, and he felt a little nervous and uneasy.

The other person's figure and appearance were very distinctive. He was very sure that this was the first time he had seen this person. And... as the commander-in-chief of the Shanxi Military Command, his position was only below the commander-in-chief. He must have seen the thousand-household members of the Shanxi garrisons before - this was very strange!

A man he didn't know, leading so many troops and carrying the banner of "Shanxi"? What was going on?

Hearing Yang Taining's words.

Zhu Gang's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling. He immediately glanced at Long Han, the chief official of the Prince of Jin's Palace, and said in a deep voice, "Defense."

Long Han also knew that what happened today was strange.

He immediately nodded and gestured to his men to pass the order down. Soon, the Jin King's personal guards, who were lined up in an orderly manner, immediately raised their weapons and took up a defensive formation and posture.

Wait for the other party to get close.

Yang Taining immediately took a few steps forward.

He frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?!"

The middle-aged man, a burly man with a flabby face, untied a token from his waist and displayed it in front of him: "Jinyiwei Commander, Song Zhong."

The commander of the Imperial Guards! !?

The young emperor's men! They're coming with the troops from Shanxi Garrison?

Just eight words.

Zhu Gang, Yang Taining, Long Han, and other important generals under Zhu Gang all looked frozen in fear. In the cold wind from the north, the neatly-lined army of the prince's personal guards suddenly looked like a row of stunned ice sculptures...

What were they planning to do? They were planning a rebellion! They were planning to quietly attack Yingtian Prefecture! But… before they could even get there, the enemy attacked first!

Zhu Gang's brain froze.

This is irrational, this is absolutely irrational, right? He had previously received a secret warning from the fourth prince Zhu Di, and he hadn't revealed any thoughts in the past three months.

All of a sudden.

Thousands of thoughts raced through Zhu Gang's mind.

He immediately took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "Don't panic yet. My troops are gathered here. These are my personal guards. Isn't this just a training exercise? Let's find out what they're doing first!"

Zhu Gang immediately had an idea in his mind.

Just as he was about to ask a question, Song Zhong, standing opposite him, didn't even give him a chance. He immediately stated his intentions and angrily shouted, "Your Highness the Prince of Jin is conspiring with Your Highness the Prince of Qin to commit treason. This is a heinous crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"Your Highness, Prince of Qin, are already on their way to the capital. I'm guessing it's been quite a journey. Your Highness, Prince of Jin, would you like to come directly with me? Or should we fight here and then be taken back in a prison cart?"
