Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1491

Luo Qingyan nodded with a smile, "Good, that's good. As we wish, we can destroy them all at once."

The sound of horses and footsteps came from afar.

Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan turned around at the same time and saw a dense group of people approaching the city gate from afar.

About a mile away from the city gate, the coming group of people set off a signal fireworks.

"Reinforcements are coming."

The reinforcements were approaching. Yun Shang saw a familiar figure on a tall horse walking beside the flag from the light of a torch. She couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

"Who is the leader?"

"Lord Hua Guo."

Yun Shang was surprised. "Lord Hua Guo? When did Lord Hua Guo leave the Jin City? Didn't Xia Houjing notice it?"

Luo Qingyan smiled, "After the avalanche yesterday.

Lord Hua Guo was furious when he heard the news of the avalanche. He cares about the people at the foot of Qi Mountain, so he quickly organized his own troops to buy some food in the city and went to Qi Mountain for relief."

Yun Shang's eyes lit up. "Lord Hua Guo is a loyal and upright man. He's old and only brought a few people with him. Even if Xia Houjing knows, he won't take it seriously.

It's easy to get tons of gold, but hard to get one good general. Xia Houjing must have been too careless this time."

The reinforcements stopped at the gate of the city. Yun Shang saw Lord Hua Guo get off the horse, quickly walk up to the gate tower, and bow to Luo Qingyan. "Your Majesty."

Luo Qingyan nodded, "Thank you, grandfather." "It's my duty." Lord Hua Guo laughed, "Your Majesty, just go into the palace. I'll definitely guard the city gate well for you. I won't even let an ant in."

Luo Qingyan smiled, "Okay, thank you, grandfather."

This was not a place to talk. Luo Qingyan bowed to Lord Hua Guo and took Yun Shang downstairs. As soon as they went downstairs, Yun Shang saw around twenty secret guards with hats waiting downstairs. "We walked around the city, mainly to investigate the west of the Imperial Palace. There are some people lying in some courtyards. We checked carefully, and it seems that our toxic smoke has worked."

Yun Shang nodded, "The toxic smoke is powerful, but it's useless if people hide in the room."

"It doesn't matter. Although Xia Houjing has brought his people into the palace, it's impossible for all the soldiers to enter the palace. All we need to do is to poison the people guarding outside and at the gate of the palace." Yun Shang answered. The secret guard had brought the horse. Yun Shang mounted the horse and asked, "Shall we go to the palace now?"

"Yes."

The winter night was really long.

It was six o'clock in the morning, but it was still dark outside.

The horses' hooves echoed in the quiet street. Yun Shang heard the sound of people talking in their houses, but no one dared to come out to check the situation.

The journey was smooth. Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang arrived at the palace gate soon.

As Luo Qingyan expected, the guards left behind by Xia Houjing at the palace gate were all in a coma.

Luo Qingyan raised the torch in his hand, and the elite soldiers behind him quickly made an array.

Seeing that everyone stopped and didn't seem to enter the palace, Yun Shang couldn't help raising her eyebrows. "Aren't we entering the palace?"

Luo Qingyan smiled, "No, wait a minute."

Wait?

Yun Shang turned to look at Luo Qingyan. What were they waiting for?

Luo Qingyan didn't say anything to her. He just touched Yun Shang's hand and asked, "Are you cold?"

"No." Yun Shang lowered her eyes and said, "I'm not cold in my cloak."

The people of the Cao clan and the noble clans were all escorted aside. When Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan entered the palace, they saw a man in black lying on the throne.

It was Xia Houjing.

Luo Qingyan's voice rang in Yun Shang's ears, "As written in a military book, in a battle, strategy is more important than an army. Xia Houjing died because I guessed his plan."

Yun Shang turned to look at Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan smiled, "Xia Houjing is so obsessed with the throne. I guess if he enters the palace and takes over the Taiji Palace, he will want to sit on this dragon throne and feel the joy of ruling the state.

So... I put the poison that you gave me on this dragon chair."

Yun Shang was stunned. She had thought about where to put the poison to make sure everything was all right.

She just thought about it for a while and didn't think of a suitable place.

The dragon chair was out of her consideration from beginning to end.

Now that she was enlightened by Luo Qingyan's words, she couldn't help but nod. Yes, how could she forget.

Xia Houjing was so obsessed with the throne. The throne represented the position of the emperor. How could Xia Houjing resist the attraction of the throne.

"It's a good thing for him to die on this dragon throne." Yun Shang whispered.

The secret guard quickly came forward and carefully examined Xia Houjing's body. "No disguise. I'm sure it's Xia Houjing himself."

Luo Qingyan nodded. Without looking at the corpse, he said directly, "Carry the corpse outside the city gate and hang it for three days and nights to comfort the innocent people who died in his hands."

The secret guard answered and quickly carried the corpse out.

Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang's hand and walked up the steps. Standing in front of the dragon throne, he glanced at the people who were held aside in the palace.
