Wasn't it agreed that as soon as we heard the explosion, we would be able to see the empress's body, and then we could come over and kill and capture people?
Why is the empress still standing there?
There was such a huge explosion just now.
No one fucking died?
wrong
One of them died, the one lying on the ground.
That bitch Yan Yunxiao killed him personally, there's such a big crack on the ground!
Ran Wanxiang was a little confused.
Because this is quite different from what he knows.
but
At this time, the entire left and right guards had surrounded all the teams that came to offer sacrifices, making it impossible for them to get through.
Because according to the original plan made by Ran Wanxiang, 70,000 people were divided into five teams and quietly arrived at the vicinity of Mingde Gate, waiting for the sound of the explosion and then rushing over to start the action.
However, looking at these left and right guards who did not dismount but seemed to be waiting for orders.
All the civil and military officials were stunned.
They all confirmed that it was definitely not His Majesty who summoned him.
Otherwise, how could Ran Wanxiang dare not come over to pay his respects, but instead ride his horse to the direction facing Your Majesty?
All the civil and military officials were terrified because they were even more certain that the Queen Mother was definitely planning a rebellion.
They all looked at His Majesty, who still had a calm expression.
But at the same time.
Hope appeared in the eyes of the Empress Dowager's officials again. With so many soldiers and horses, as long as Ran Wanxiang gave the order, even if His Majesty was not killed in the explosion, he would at least die under the swords!
and
The imperial guards moved in unison at this time, and after dispersing, they protected all the people who came to offer sacrifices.
Even the common people who came to watch the fun were let in by the imperial guards.
All the soldiers of the imperial guards drew their swords and looked at the left and right guards whose number outnumbered them by dozens of times.
At this time, Ran Wanxiang had already ridden his horse to the position opposite to where Xia Fengxiang was standing. He swallowed his saliva and stared at Xia Fengxiang in the distance.
Got scammed.
I was cheated by that old bitch, the Queen Mother!
What the fuck is going on?
kill?
That's the Son of Heaven!
But don't kill
He had led the troops here without any imperial edict, and Ran Wanxiang had clearly seen the sound of a cauldron exploding on the ground, which clearly meant that the empress was not dead. If this matter was investigated, it would definitely lead to him.
Ran Wanxiang swallowed his saliva and thought that he had to take action. If he died, the matter would be settled. Then he would go find the old woman, the Queen Mother.
You have 70,000 men under your command, and the other side has only these few imperial guards. One of them can kill you with just a spit.
Even if you, Yan Yunxiao, were there, so what? How could one person kill tens of thousands of people? !
"Do it."
Ran Wanxiang gritted his teeth and spoke softly.
Several deputy generals around him were stunned.
Ran Wanxiang pulled out the big knife behind him: "I can persuade you"
Just as Ran Wanxiang finished speaking.
The ground shook again.
Ran Wanxiang turned his head to look behind him. Not only was there dust flying, but a large red flag immediately appeared in his sight.
On the big flag was clearly written the word "Destroy" that looked like a flame!
Chapter 153: The Double Ninth Festival Sacrifice Event (V)
A big flag appeared.
Then a group of cavalry appeared in everyone's sight, stretching out into two black lines that seemed to have no end.
Dust was flying. Tall horses were seen, all of them were light cavalry wearing bright silver armor. The one in the lead was holding the general's huge flag, which was raised high up, bright as blood, and the word "destroy" was fluttering in the wind.
The light cavalry galloped and sprinted forward, mighty and powerful!
Rushing in the front was a female general holding a red spear.
Murderous!
"Destroy the word and kill the flag! The Divine Strategy Army!"
When the big flag and the light cavalry appeared, Ran Wanxiang, the civil and military officials, and even the common people were all shocked and recognized the big flag immediately.
Emperor Taizong of Daxia once conferred the title of "General of the Divine Strategy", so he established the "Divine Strategy Palace". Under his command, he had the Shen Ce Cavalry, which traveled all over the territory of Daxia, swept away the chaos and truly established the Daxia Empire.
However, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, there was a rebellion. All 40,000 people in the Shen Ce Palace died on their horses just to suppress the rebellion.
After the rebellion was put down, Emperor Xuanzong rebuilt the Shence Mansion, but because the rebellion disturbed his mind, he abolished the Shence Army and made the Shence Mansion directly under the emperor to control the world.
But
The reputation of the Shen Ce Army is still not forgotten even to this day.
Just because of the hundred years of its existence, it was famous for its killing and its rampage throughout the martial arts world.
Even in many of today's vernacular novels, legends, and storytellers, there is a line: "Destroy the characters and kill the flags, kill all the villains, put life and death aside, and exercise divine strategy and majesty."
Everyone was stunned as they looked at the powerful force that was getting closer and closer.
The Shence Army disappeared for so long and never appeared again, but it appeared here today.
Immediately!
All the civil and military officials looked at Xia Fengxiang, who was standing there with a calm expression.
When was the Shen Ce Army re-established?
And the scale is at least 30,000 cavalry!
Was it established when the previous emperor was still alive?
Impossible! If the late emperor had established it, he would have announced it to the public and sent the Shen Ce Army to the battlefield.
That was established by His Majesty.
Established without anyone noticing?
Good trick!
So patient!!
After three years of forbearance, there have been constant overt and bizarre conspiracies in the past few months, and now many people in the court have sworn allegiance.
Now the Shen Ce Army suddenly appeared
This is your majesty’s greatest reliance!
Everyone looked at Xia Fengxiang with horror on their face. Even Zhang Gu and others who had long since defected to Xia Fengxiang were completely unaware of the existence of the Shence Army and now looked excited.
It's summer, this is how it should be!
Su Zimu had known about the existence of the Shen Ce Mansion for a long time, but he did not show too much surprise. He just looked into the distance and frowned slightly.
The fourth one hasn’t come yet!
Taifu, Yang Guofu and others were also stunned when they first saw Ran Wanxiang coming, but they were even more surprised when they saw the Shence Army.
Among them, Yang Guofu took a deep breath. Ever since the empress ascended the throne, he has relied on his father's power, showing off his power and thinking that he was in control of everything. He felt that if the current empress was not Zhu Huang left by the previous emperor, people like Yan Yunxiao would have replaced her long ago!
As for the Shen Ce Mansion, he was also keeping an eye on it at all times, but
Where did these 30,000 Shen Ce troops come from?
The Taifu's face regained its composure. He was more shocked than Yang Guofu about the matter of the 30,000-strong Shen Ce Army. He knew every transaction in the government, including the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War. He also had a clear understanding of the Chixia Army and the Huanglong Guards in the palace.
But the empress actually still supported 30,000 people. The most important thing was that this number and this scale of order definitely took more than one or two years. It might have started a long time ago, but she had no news about it.
However, Yang Shanchang remained calm because he just saw Su Zimu looking into the distance.
There are people!
Yang Shanchang made a conclusion immediately.
After that, he couldn't help but glance at Xia Fengxiang, then retracted his gaze and looked away, not knowing what he was thinking.
The Eighth Prince looked at the Shence Army, and for some reason the first person he looked at was not Xia Fengxiang, but Su Changan.
He felt that Su Changan was definitely related to the Shen Ce Army!
The civil and military officials had different thoughts, and they were naturally excited to see such an army appear.
After all, no matter how you look at it, Ran Wanxiang is planning to rebel!
He was about to draw his sword just now!
But after all, not all officials were loyal to Xia Fengxiang, so when they saw the Shence Army, they showed emotions such as ecstasy, terrified, deep emotion, and regret.
Ordinary people who are not officials think a lot.
They already knew that the left and right guards seemed to have bad intentions, and with His Majesty here, the common people naturally thought of rebellion.
In addition to being indignant at these bastards, many people also felt regretful and wondered why they came to join in the fun and ended up encountering this kind of thing.
