Chapter 472: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is Back
The common people knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. An Shiru was a great scholar of the time, with disciples all over the world. The literati in the capital also knelt in front of the palace gate to beg for mercy.
Seeing the public outraged, Emperor Qinglong on the city gate did not waver in his attitude at all. He even ordered the guards to kill all the leaders.
The capital was about to become a river of blood, but no one could stop it.
The sky changed color and everyone was in despair.
Just as the executioner's knife was about to fall, several arrows flew over and knocked the executioners' knives down.
"I am here, who dares to hurt my loyal ministers of Jin'an!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the excited voice and saw that the man wearing armor and holding a bow and arrow on a tall horse was none other than Ye Xuanqi who had died in the sea of fire a few days ago.
Following him were not only Ye Xuanke who also died in the sea of fire, but also Yu Ziche and Jiang Yanting whose lives were rumored to be in danger, and Fang Yichen who was poisoned by the miasma.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince... It's Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Someone in the crowd shouted out, and the already desperate common people and scholars all shouted excitedly: "It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is back!"
At this moment, Ye Xuanqi was like a god descending from heaven in their eyes, a god who brought them hope.
Ye Xuanqi ordered people to help Taifu Zhu and many court officials up and untie them.
Master Zhu looked at Ye Xuanqi and smiled calmly, "Your Highness is finally back!"
General Zhenyuan also smiled and said, "If you don't come back, we old bones will be killed."
Ye Xuanqi clasped his hands together and said, "I'm sorry for causing you all to suffer!"
Emperor Qinglong on the city wall had a gloomy expression and the murderous aura around him was hard to conceal. The autopsy showed clearly that the people who were burned to death were the brothers Ye Xuanqi and Ye Xuanke, so why did they appear safe and sound?
And how did Yu Ziche and Jiang Yanting escape from Beichu?
How did Fang Yichen escape death in the miasma forest of South Vietnam?
He couldn't figure it out, but now was not the time to get into the details.
He looked at Ye Xuanqi under the tower with murderous eyes: "Ye Xuanqi, how dare you rebel!"
With the charge of treason against him, no matter how Ye Xuanqi escaped his surveillance, his reputation of disloyalty and unfilial piety would make him have no place to stand in the world.
Ye Xuanqi sneered: "I am loyal to the Ye family, to Jin'an, and to the people. How can I be a traitor?"
Emperor Qinglong said angrily: "Disobeying the emperor and father, and bringing troops to the city, isn't this treason?"
Ye Xuanqi smiled: "King's father? Are you worthy of being a king's father?"
Emperor Qinglong shouted, "Are you questioning me? Today I will remove your name from the imperial family's jade book, and expel you from the Ye clan!"
"What a loud tone!"
A powerful and majestic voice came from the carriage behind Ye Xuanqi. This familiar voice made Emperor Qinglong's heart tighten on the city wall, and the hatred bursting from his eyes was terrifying.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and an elegant man walked out. Eunuch Sun immediately stepped forward and helped him down from the carriage.
"What qualifications do you have to remove my son, the crown prince of the Jin'an Dynasty, from the imperial genealogy? What qualifications do you have to expel him from the Ye clan?"
The man in a dragon robe who got off the carriage was actually Emperor Qinglong!
Two emperors?
There are actually two emperors!
The people were shocked, their eyes constantly wandering between the two Emperors Qinglong in front of them and on the city wall, trying to distinguish the real one from the fake one.
"Impossible!"
"Ye Xuanqi, you dared to find someone to pretend to be me in order to seize power and usurp the throne. This is simply an unforgivable crime!"
Emperor Qinglong on the tower had a gloomy look in his eyes: "Come here, kill these traitors for me, don't spare any of them!"
Fortunately, he had made thorough preparations in advance. Since Ye Xuanqi and his men had fallen into their trap, it was a good opportunity for him to eliminate all of these troubles.
But after he finished speaking, his assassins and secret guards did not appear for a long time.
How is this going?
The fear and uneasiness in his heart quickly spread: "Come here! Are you all dead? Do you want me to execute you all?"
"Are you looking for them?"
A charming voice sounded, and Song Yunxi appeared just like that. The secret guards behind her threw several corpses on the ground.
Emperor Qinglong upstairs could see clearly that those were the bodies of his leader of the death squad and the commander of the guard.
His eyes widened in horror: "You...what did you do?"
Song Yunxi patted the non-existent dust on her body and said, "It's nothing. Two hours ago, Ye Xuanqi and my second brother led the troops to kill all your death warriors and guards."
"how is this possible?"
Although he did not have an army of 100,000, he still had 50,000 men. How could they be killed so easily?
Song Yunxi kindly explained to him: "The part you stayed in Weijia Village was wiped out by the Princess and the Duke of Yingguo and his wife the day before yesterday."
"Of course, the people you sent to guard the foot of Saint Cloud Mountain were not spared either."
"As for those in the capital, those who surrendered were taken prisoners, and those who refused to surrender were killed if possible."
"Impossible...impossible!"
He shouted in a daze, "I have sealed the city gates and sent soldiers to guard the roads leading to the capital. How can you return to the capital without being seen?"
There is no way that such a large number of soldiers could return to the capital quietly.
Song Yunxi would of course not tell him that Shengyun Mountain and Xuantian Mountain were connected as long as the barrier was opened. By hiding people in Shengyun Mountain, it would be easy to enter the capital.
Song Yunxi said with a malicious look: "Hurry up and surrender. Now that you are the only one left, you really can't cause any trouble."
After a pause, he added: "It doesn't matter if you really don't want to surrender. I will send a signal and have people dig up all the royal tombs of your Wei family. Your ancestors will not be able to rest in peace after death and will become wandering ghosts."
Everyone: "..."
If we talk about ruthlessness, it is Miss Song who is the most ruthless!
"you dare!"
"See if I dare!"
Song Yunxi was rebellious: "There is nothing I dare not do."
"When I dig up the Wei family's imperial tomb, I'll use the skull of your Wei family ancestor as a ball, and throw the rest to the wolves and wild dogs."
Everyone: "..."
How could she say such a heartless thing in such a cute tone?
"Song Yunxi, I'm going to kill you!"
Song Yunxi hooked her finger at him: "Come on! Besides, there are many people who want to kill me, who do you think you are?"
puff!
Emperor Qinglong on the city wall spat out a mouthful of blood.
Song Yunxi: That's it? It's too funny!
Emperor Qinglong said majestically from the tower: "If you surrender now, I can spare your life."
Wiping the blood from the corner of his lips, he said, "Do you really think I have no way out?"
Then he took out a bundle of explosives and said, "Now that I have nowhere else to go, I will drag you into hell with me!"
Everyone then realized that the dynamite in his hand was just a fuse, and that there were dynamite placed all over the city wall.
