Chapter 1035: Decisive Battle (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Didn’t the Azure Dragon and Hidden Tiger tribes already receive the Imperial Edict to head to the north and participate in the battle with the Great Zhou?
Why did they still appear in the capital?
They even came to the palace!
This was naturally not to kill Zongzheng Wei. The King of the Southern Wilderness did not give this order.
The King of the Southern Wilderness was furious. He turned his head and looked at the civil and military officials in the aisle.
Yin Chongshan had long disappeared.
It was him!
The King of the Southern Border clenched his fists.
When the Empress Dowager appeared, he had already sensed that something was wrong.
However, at that time, he did not suspect Yin Chongshan. He thought that someone had gone to report to the Empress Dowager because the commotion in the throne room was too big.
The Empress Dowager rushed over despite the danger because she was worried about her son’s safety.
Looking at it again, the Empress Dowager had probably been lured over.
Consort Yin!
How dare she!
She became his concubine, but she still betrayed him with her family!
The camp of the Azure Dragon and Hidden Tiger tribes was not in the capital.
The infantry was still on the way, and the first to arrive were ten thousand cavalry.
Five thousand of them attacked the palace, and the remaining five thousand went to various guard stations to stop the palace guards who were still at the guard station from rushing to the palace.
The total military strength of the palace guards was 20,000, and there were 10,000 guards in the camp outside the city.
However, Patriarch Yin had bribed a few commanders of the Guard Bureau in advance. With nearly 5,000 troops, they would not participate in the battle.
As for outside the city, Wei Ting forged an imperial edict and asked Ling Yun to disguise himself as Xie Jinnian to lure them to Liu County, which was a hundred miles away.
When they realized that the imperial edict and Xie Jinnian were fake, they would not be able to rush back to participate in today’s battle.
Of course, there was still pressure.
They had to win with numbers and end the battle quickly.
There was no second chance to take back the throne because once Zongzheng Wei appeared, he would either win or die.
The pressure on the King of the Southern Wilderness was not small.
He never expected his brother’s actions to be so thunderous.
He had underestimated him. After hiding for only five days, he had bribed the Yin and Cheng families. Even the Saintess had turned to work for him.
But he would also weigh the pros and cons.
If he really killed the Empress Dowager, it would definitely arouse the anger of the people, causing more and more people to question him and switch to the Zongzheng Wei.
Su Xiaoxiao reasoned that if she was the King of the Southern Wilderness, she would capture Zongzheng Wei and threaten him with his life to force the Empress Dowager to change her words and admit that she was poisoned. She would have to admit that what she said in the hall that day was nonsense.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “As long as you’re not caught, the Empress Dowager will be
sate.”
Zongzheng Wei also understood that Su Xiaoxiao was right. He agreed to evacuate with Su Xiaoxiao first.
Yin Chongshan’s trusted guard escorted them away from the chaotic event location.
The King of the Southern Wilderness ordered, “Catch the two of them! Cheng Su can be killed, but that man needs to be alive!”
The two Ghost Shadow Guards quickly greeted the two of them.
The Saintess threw out a piece of white silk and wrapped it around the waist of one of the guards. She shot out several silver needles and temporarily forced the other back.
The two of them quickly counterattacked, breaking the Saintess’ silk and escaping her restraint.
However, this delay had already allowed Su Xiaoxiao and Zongzheng Wei to escape.
The two Ghost Shadow Guards continued to chase after them but were forcefully stopped by the Saintess.
The Southern Wilderness had many navy units. The Azure Dragon and Hidden Tiger Tribes were rare tribes with cavalry..
