.Chapter 424 A fire in Anping City

The storm is about to come and the wind fills the building.

In just a few days, the situation in Anping City had reached a point of impending breaking out. The forces of all parties were waiting, waiting for the first bird to emerge, and the situation in Anping was also strangely maintaining a balance in the mutual calculations of the forces of all parties. Until the arrival of the Xuanwu Legion.

The people living in the city closed their doors, the man took up his weapons, and the woman took care of the elderly and children in the family. There was no idle person on the street. There were only a group of soldiers wearing yellow armors constantly driving from outside the city into the city.

At the gate of the city, the eldest prince Long Shouren was proud of his ambitions and felt proud of the backup plan he had arranged. No one expected that he had already bribed Deng Tong, the commander of the Xuanwu Legion. Now Anping City can be said to have fallen into his hands after the Xuanwu Legion entered the city. The good days for the guys who were against him were over.

Thinking of this, Long Shouren seemed to have seen the opponents begging for mercy in front of him, and couldn't help laughing. Deng Tong and Maris, who were talking on the side, laughed a few times when they saw this. Maris suggested: "Your Highness, without further ado, we should take this opportunity to immediately send people to eliminate the hostile forces in Anping City and seize those leaders. In that way, we can lose the least amount..."

"Hey... don't worry, Maris. Let those guys be worried for a while, and then go and catch them. Let them regret going against me before."

"Your Highness..." Maris was about to persuade him again, and Wen Rui beside him interrupted, "Your Highness is indeed kind. Give those who are ungrateful and have some time to consider the fate of opposing us. When we go to surrender, we may achieve the effect of defeating others without fighting. Your Highness is indeed worthy of being the next emperor, and his eyes are farther than those of us who are subordinates."

Long Shouren, who was praised by Wen Rui, smiled reservedly, pointed at Wen Rui and said, "You kid are the worms in my stomach, and you can't hide anything from you. General Deng, go back home with me and the car. I specially prepared a welcome banquet in the mansion."

"Thank you, Your Highness, to be highly valued."

Seeing Long Shouren leaving with Deng Tong, Maris glared at Wen Rui and asked, "Wen Rui, do you know what you were doing just now?"

"I know, but I don't want you to die, I have to say that."

"you……"

"Mr. Marys, haven't you noticed that Your Highness never likes anyone to go against him?" Wen Rui asked in a low voice.

Maris was shocked when she heard this. She recalled the scene when she was with Long Shouren before. Although it was not as serious as Wen Rui said, he could still feel that Long Shouren was a very conceited and self-centered person.

By the time Maris came to his senses, Wen Rui had already walked out of the distance alone.

...

In the Great Prince's Mansion, everyone thought the overall situation was settled and a bright future would be waiting for everyone. But they were a little happy too early. Just when they were drunk, a man dressed in a housekeeper rushed in, knelt in front of the Great Prince's seat, and shouted: "Your Highness, fire, the palace is on fire."

With a "click", the wine glass in the eldest prince's hand fell to the ground. The crisp sound suddenly woke everyone up. "Do you know who did it?" Long Shouren asked by grabbing the collar of the person who came to report the news.

"It was the second prince Long Shouyi. He suddenly led his troops to attack the palace half an hour ago and caused a fire in the palace."

"Old 2~" Long Shouren gritted his teeth. Unexpectedly, Lao 2, who has been unfavorable to him since he was a child, still this time he was unfavorable to him.

"Come, follow me to the palace to rescue the car." Long Shouren shouted.

When everyone heard this, they stood up quickly, but as soon as they stood up, they sat back with their feet floating on their backs. They drank too much.

"Drink, drink, you know how to drink. What's the use of I keep these wine bags?" Long Shouren cursed in anger.

After cursing "Deng Tong obeyed the order", Long Shouren finally remembered Deng Tong who had just entered the city today. What disappointed Long Shouren was that Deng Tong was drunk and was sleeping soundly beside his seat.

"Pull him with cold water to wake him up." Long Shouren gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates.

"Crash~" Deng Tong was shocked by the cold water, and his mind suddenly became much clearer. Then he looked at Long Shouren in confusion, not understanding why he asked someone to splash him with cold water.

"General Deng, the second prince Long Shouyi is ruthless. He is now leading his troops to attack the palace. As the commander of the Xuanwu Legion, you will not bring anyone to suppress the rebellion at this time. When will you wait?" Long Shouren said to Deng Tong in a deep voice.

When Deng Tong heard that the palace was attacked, he stood up and saluted Long Shouren and said, "Don't worry, the eldest prince, I will take people to wipe out the traitors and calm the people down."

"Let's go" a figure blocked Deng Tong's way.

"Wen Rui, what do you have to say?" Long Shouren asked strangely when he saw the person blocking the road.

"Your Highness, General Deng, I think it's better to wait and send troops to you later. After all, when you go there at this time, the enemy and we are unknown, which is easy to cause accidental injuries. It's better to send someone to inquire about the news first. When the news is true, it's not too late for us to take action." Wen Rui said, blinking at Long Shouren.

Long Shouren, who received the prompt, understood it and immediately nodded and said, "What Wen Rui said is indeed a meticulous and polite statement. Just do it like this. Come and find out the reason for the matter. General Deng, let me see your heroic posture when you kill the general and seize the flag later."

The master and servant sang together and decided on the matter, and Deng Tong was not a good person. Although he knew that Long Shouren was delaying time, in order to leave a good impression on his new boss, he pretended to be unaware and drank with Long Shouren and Wen Rui.

Blood flowed into a river at the entrance of the palace.

I don’t know where these people came out? Suddenly they appeared at the gate of the palace. It was when the Iron Dragon Guard changed its guard, and the Iron Dragon Guard was caught off guard. Although the Iron Dragon Guard regained the palace gate with the courage of the Iron Dragon Guard, the Iron Dragon Guard also paid a considerable price.

Soros, who was sitting on the steps, was hurrying to rest. Wang Xuesen ran over with a hurried look. He didn't talk nonsense, pulled Soros and left. Before Soros struggled, Wang Xuesen said without looking back: "Your Majesty is awake and you want to see you."

In the emperor's bedroom, Long Zhan, who had long since disappeared from his original appearance, was lying on the dragon bed, looking at Soros with blood in his armor and asked, "How long can he stay?"

"As long as the empress is not dead, those traitors don't want to attack the palace." Soros replied loudly.

"Okay, I did not read you wrong. But Soros, now I will give you the next order that you don't want but you have to do."

"Please give orders to your Majesty."

"...I want you to break through, take the Iron Dragon Guard out of the city, go to Feng Yangling, and hand this thing over to my grandson Ye Kaihuai." Long Zhan said to Soros with some difficulty.

"Your Majesty...I, please give me death penalty." Soros knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Long Zhan.

"...Don't you even listen to my last order?" Long Zhan asked angrily.

"Your Majesty, if Soros had not been promoted by His Majesty in this life, he would never have been able to have his current status. Please allow Soros to follow His Majesty to complete the last part of his life."

"Don't worry, if you don't break through, do you want this thing to fall into the hands of those disobedient people?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can let Leo lead the team to break through and complete this task."

"...Okay." Long Zhan closed his eyes and agreed to Soros's opinion. "By the way, count Xuesen and let him break through with your son Leo." Long Zhan, who had closed his eyes and rested, suddenly spoke and added.

With a "puzzle", Wang Xuesen knelt on the ground and said in a crying voice: "Your Majesty, I won't leave. I'm old and my hands are not flexible. Following the Iron Dragon Guard to break through is only a burden. Moreover, you can't be without anyone to serve you around. Please allow your Majesty to stay."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Your Majesty, I'm living a lot of age, it's worth it."

"... Forget it. Since you are going to play with that old guy Soros with me, I won't say anything. I'll give you a task, and you will immediately take out the turbid oil and igniting objects and sprinkle them in the palace. Then open the warehouse and distribute the gold, silver and softness to the servants in the palace, so that they can escape their lives."

"Old slave accepts the order." Wang Xuesen got up and went to do things. Soros was convincing his son.

"I won't leave. Father, I won't leave," Leo said stubbornly.

"Bastard, how dare you resist the order?" Soros glared at him and shouted loudly.

Leo gritted his teeth and retorted: "At this moment of life and death, my father asked me to take someone to escape, but I can't do it."

"It is precisely because this is the moment of life and death that you have to take people out and survive. And you have to complete the task assigned to you."

"Father, hold on for a while, maybe reinforcements will come soon."

"Do you believe what you say?" Soros asked Leo with a wry smile.

Leo was suffocated when he heard this. He knew that what he had just said was just a self-deception. The battle had been going on for more than half an hour. If there were reinforcements, it would have been long since.

"I'm leaving, what should you do, Father?"

“…I’m older…”

"……Father."

"Don't look sad. I wonder what I hate the most is that you act like a ghost? Don't worry. Your Majesty and I are fully prepared, and those rebels can't wait for anything. And you, Leo, you must live well. Remember, my Doratos family has been loyal to each other for generations, and only loyal to the next generation of monarchs recognized by the Old Monarch. After you go to Fengyang, you must be loyal to Lord Fengyang. Have you remembered?"
