Song Zhong's face was as gloomy as water, his eyes were fierce, and there was a sense of oppression in his voice.

Although the words sound arrogant.

Ke Xin was a little dignified. "Tens of thousands of personal guards, all of whom followed Prince Jin on the battlefield, this place really isn't that easy to deal with..."

This is also the reason why he brought Zhu Chong out - to put pressure on him.

If possible, he certainly hopes that things here can be simpler. Besides, he has not forgotten that His Majesty's order is to resolve this matter with the least damage possible. Any damage will only affect the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Fighting is the only solution.

When Zhu Gang heard Song Zhong's words, he felt his heart suddenly shrink.

Visibly panicked.

"It's all over, it's all over, it's all over..."

"No...it's only been a few days since my second brother and I reached a consensus on cooperation, and that lousy Jinyiwei commander Song Zhong has brought his troops right before my face to quell the rebellion! Is this the real deal!?"

Although he looked fine on the outside at the moment, a thousand horses were galloping through his heart.

Just when he was stunned and didn't know how to respond.

Long Han, standing beside him, stepped forward, bowed to Song Zhong with a smile on his face, and said, "So it's Commander Song. I've long admired you. However...our Highness the Prince of Jin has always been conscientious in his duties, guarding Shanxi and protecting the Ming Dynasty. How can you possibly accuse him of...treason?"

He spoke at a steady pace, even with a hint of gentleness.

If Zhu Gang had not known that it was Long Fan who first proposed the rebellion, he would have almost believed that Long Fan and he were really not rebelling.

After saying this, Long Han turned his head very naturally and looked at Zhu Gang and Yang Taining in turn, then glanced at the tens of thousands of princes present and gave them a look without any expression.

Zhu Gang and Yang Taining often fought side by side, while Long Tan served as their military advisor.

There is no lack of tacit understanding between the three.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Taining and Zhu Gang exchanged a look of realization and understood what Long Fan meant: there are tens of thousands of troops here, and tens of thousands of troops from Yang Taining's side have not arrived yet. Although Song Zhong has a lot of troops behind him, if they can wait for Yang Taining's troops to come and join forces... can't they lead the troops to break through like a Jinyiwei commander?

The crime of treason is punishable by death.

Since there is an opportunity to resist, why should we just sit there and wait for death?

Let's try to break through and go to the north. There are Prince Yan, Prince Ning... and bring a few more in. It's better than falling directly into the hands of that little bastard Zhu Yunhuan!

So now the best strategy is just one word.

drag!

Understanding Long Han's intention, Zhu Gang immediately forced himself to calm down. He forced an awkward yet polite smile and said, "Yes, Commander Song, you are joking. I have always been loyal to Your Majesty. I am training here to better resist foreign enemies and defend the Ming Dynasty. How could I be loyal to Your Majesty? Rebellion?"

Song Zhong's heart sank slightly: "Sure enough, it's difficult. Under the death penalty, of course I have to fight to the end no matter what..."

But he had prepared himself mentally before that.

At worst, we can just fight!

We are all brave and willing to take risks, so how can we be afraid of you?

"Your Highness, Prince Jin, there's no need to say these words. I came here because I must have evidence in my hands. Otherwise, how could I be qualified to arrest Your Highness, Prince Jin, as a prince of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Besides, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is already on his way to the capital."

"We Jinyiwei may not be good at other things, but we are good at asking a few questions."

There was a hint of complacency in Song Zhong's fierce eyes.

Now that he was determined to have a fight, Song Zhong naturally didn't have much else on his mind. His face, which already had a bit of a fierce look, made people feel even colder.

"The innocent are innocent. His Highness the Prince of Qin is His Highness the Prince of Qin. How could our Highness the Prince of Jin know what he did?"

"Since Commander Song has evidence in his hands, I would like to ask you to show it to me. Our Prince Jin was personally appointed by the late emperor. It cannot be so unclear, right? I am also curious. How can there be any evidence for something I have never done?" Long Han was calm, his face and heart remained calm, and his speech speed was still very slow.

The enemy's army is already approaching.

Of course, he would not think that the other party had no evidence, but the most important thing for him now was to delay time and wait for Yang Taining's people to come.

It doesn't matter whether there is evidence or not.

Just drag it out until the time is up.

Song Zhong was about to continue speaking in line with what the other party said, but he felt something was not right. He pursed his lips and swallowed his words, then paused for the moment and looked around Zhu Gang.

Finally, his eyes fell on Yang Taining.

Immediately, a white line seemed to flash across his mind, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"That's him! If I remember correctly, his name is Yang Taining! His position should be... the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Shanxi!"

Although Song Zhong appears rough on the outside, it does not mean that he is a rough person inside, otherwise he would not be able to work for Zhu Yunhuan.

This time I came to Shanxi specifically to handle a case of treason.

Of course, he had carefully read the information and even portraits of important officials and generals in Shanxi in advance.

After careful observation, the memory in my mind matched Yang Taining's face.

"Since he's here, it means he's already behind the Prince of Jin! As a deputy commander, he has a lot of troops at his disposal, so... they're stalling!!!"

After realizing this, Song Zhong took a deep breath...
