C3 Request for soldiers

The sound of rain outside the imperial study seemed to have lessened a little. Seeing that Xie Poyan was just slowly drinking his tea without saying a word, Feng Cheng finally spoke again.

"Imperial Mother, right now, Gu Wujing is covering the sky with only his hands, and the entire East Dawn is practically his world. But I think that the Xie Clan is after all different from those fence-sitters. "

Now that things had come to this point, Xie Poyan naturally couldn't keep silent. "The Xie family has been loyal and righteous for generations. Your majesty can rest assured."

She knew very well that even though the Xie Clan sought the honor of their clan to protect the entire Xie Clan, the loyalty of the Xie Clan would not change in the face of the Imperial Court.

"In that case, I am relieved. "Imperial Mother, you can rest assured. As long as I am here, the Xie Clan's position will naturally be maintained." A glint flashed through Feng Cheng's eyes. After all, the Xie Clan had several generations of women. If they were to change their dynasty, the honor of the Xie Clan would no longer be preserved.

These words caused Xie Poyan's heart to grow heavier. However, he merely smiled and replied, "Many thanks, Your Majesty."

"No need for thanks." Feng Cheng waved his hand, with a hint of childishness that revealed the might of an emperor, "I just want to know, when will the Xie Clan's military talisman, the Marquis Xie, return it to me?"

Xie Poyan's heart trembled. His eyes turned even darker as he looked at Feng Cheng, returning the favor ?

"Queen Mother should also know that right now, even the imperial guards are most likely under Gu Wujing's control. I do not have any usable troops at my disposal. If the Xie family can hand over the military medallion to me, with four hundred thousand soldiers in my hands, I will be able to contend against Gu Wujing."

"After we kill Gu Wujing, I'll regain my power. Naturally, the Xie Clan will contribute greatly!"

"I hope mother can convey my words to the marquis ?"

The rain had completely stopped. Not only did the air not feel comfortable from the rain, it even felt a little hot and stuffy.

Returning to the Spring Parasol Palace, Xie Poyan withdrew all of the palace guests.

Feng Cheng's words still echoed in his ears. His intention was obvious, he was prepared to use his martial arts to fight Gu Wujing.

Furthermore, the Xie Clan always had a token that allowed them to mobilize four hundred thousand troops. Whether it was Feng Cheng or Gu Wujing, it was undoubtedly a force that could affect the outcome.

Return...

The two words that came out of Feng Cheng's mouth just now had shocked Xie Poyan. How could she not know that once she handed over the talisman, it would be impossible for her to return to the Xie Clan.

Walking into the inner room, Xie Poyan slowly opened the Dark Pavilion on the head of the bed and took out an exquisite box. Inside the box was the soldier token Feng Cheng asked for.

Most likely, no one knew that this token was in her hands.

A little more than a year ago, Marquis Xie was ambushed on the battlefield and poisoned. Although he managed to suppress the poison, due to the lack of an antidote, the situation was critical. At that time, the eldest son of the Xie Clan, Xie Pingzhou, had yet to return home. A year ago, in order to protect everything, he had secretly handed over the military talisman to Xie Poyan. Even the empress dowager did not know of this matter.

"What should I do?" Xie Poyan looked at the token in his hand with a serious expression.

If she really handed over the military emblem, it would be no different from personally sending Gu Wujing into dire straits. But if they did not hand it over, if Gu Wujing really did usurp the throne, then the Xie Clan would not be able to escape its doom!

Forget it, Xie Poyan placed the Soldier's Talisman back in the Dark Pavilion. Since Feng Cheng had already spoken, even if it was just a show, she had to make a trip back to the Xie Clan. After returning home, he would discuss this matter with his father.

Night, Regent's Manor.

In the courtyard, the plantations were already hidden in the dark night.

Gu Wujing was standing by the window with his hands behind his back. When he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, he didn't turn around. Instead, he opened his mouth and asked in a deep voice: "How is it?"

"Master, don't worry. Everything has been completed. We've already gotten it."

"Mm, you can leave now." Gu Wujing slowly extended his hand in front of his face, staring at his finger in a daze.

His fingers were long and slender, and his joints were distinct. The night wind poured in from his black sleeves, bringing with it the coolness of rain.

"Ah Yan, I will make you regret this!"
