C46 The new emperor of jinnan

Very quickly, all of the Imperial guards s in the palace had gathered. Although there were only two thousand of them, their martial arts were not bad.

"Speak, where is his Majesty being placed under house arrest?"

"I don't know!"

After all, he did not even know where Nan Jifu was being placed under house arrest. He was in such a hurry yet it was not due to his suspicious personality from before, so it seemed like Nan Jifu held an important position in his heart.

Just as Hu Xiong was searching all over the palace for Nan Jifu, not only was Nan Jifu hiding himself, there were also ten thousand elite soldiers blocking his path of retreat.

These ten thousand elite soldiers were naturally the forces that Hu Xiong had left in the Jinnan City when he attacked them. They were not under Hu Xiong's control, and had directly followed Nan Jifu's orders.

Along the way he killed Imperial guards, Hu Xiong also lost a lot of troops. His soldiers were all experienced in battle, and although Imperial guards's martial arts were not bad, it was impossible to fight one against five on the combat power.

Imperial guards was also loyal, no matter how hard Hu Xiong attacked, they did not take a step back.

Imperial guards was the commander of Bai Sheng's martial arts. Between him and Hu Xiong, the two of them fought to the point where no one around them could get close to them.

"General Jue, this commander has always respected you and wanted to experience your skills since a long time ago. I didn't expect that you would rebel at such a time."

"The one who rebelled should be you, right? He actually dares to put His Majesty under house arrest."

The two fought intensely, each with fatal moves, and each spoke their own words.

Hu Xiong was anxious to save someone, he did not even think about why Bai Sheng would insist on rebelling against him, the question in between was actually ignored by him right now.

Bai Sheng on the other hand, had received Nan Jifu's orders, and wanted him to stop Hu Xiong no matter what. And that competition with Hu Xiong, had also affected his judgement of the content of Hu Xiong's words.

Hu Xiong then thrusted his spear forward, and Bai Sheng blocked with his blade, after which he kicked his leg, aiming straight at Hu Xiong's waist.

Hu Xiong blocked the flying leg with one hand while clenching his other hand into a fist, he activated internal strength and struck towards Bai Sheng's abdomen.

The internal strength was truly tyrannical, Bai Sheng did not dare to take it head on. He was still inferior to Hu Xiong in terms of internal strength, but he was extremely agile in terms of techniques, and he avoided Hu Xiong's attacks with ease.

With the attack of a fist, Bai Sheng used one hand to cut the sword vertically while the other hand pushed the fist force forward, easily dissipating the powerful internal strength.

It was difficult to differentiate between the two of them. Even though they did not injure the other party in the slightest, nearly half of the elite soldiers and half of the Imperial guards s had already died.

"Bai Sheng, no matter what we say today, I will definitely save His Majesty from your confinement." Hu Xiong roared.

"General, we did not imprison His Majesty. His Majesty only ordered us to protect him because he knew that you had led troops to rebel and slaughtered your way to the imperial palace." Bai Sheng followed what Hu Xiong said.

The confrontation between the two could not be more obvious. Both of them felt that something was amiss, so they exchanged moves as they pondered whether it was all a misunderstanding or if they had fallen into the trap of someone with ill intentions.

"General Wang, do we have any misunderstandings? Did we fall into someone else's trap?"

"He's plotting something?"

The information he had received had a lot of doubtful points. Adding to Bai Sheng's explanation from the front, back, and even back, it made him feel that the situation was not looking good.

"Commander Bai, I received a report from His Majesty, the secret decree, saying that the Grand Princess was a conspiracy, and had received secret reports from the soldiers I sent out. They said that the Imperial guards followed the orders of the Grand Princess and placed His Majesty under house arrest.

Hearing those words, Bai Sheng immediately knew that he and Hu Xiong had fallen into another's trap.

"General Wang, we may have fallen into someone's trap. It is impossible for us Imperial guards to keep His Majesty under house arrest, and it is even more impossible for us to obey his orders. We will only listen to his orders. "

How obvious were these words? Hu Xiong and Bai Sheng were not fools, they immediately gave the order to stop the battle.

But just at this time, the ten thousand elite soldiers rushed to Hu Xiong and Bai Sheng's front, this made the two of them extremely shocked, only then did they realise, these elite soldiers were the real rebels, the existence behind them allowed them to kill each other, weakened both sides, and was able to take them down in one go, to ensure the success of the rebellion.

"Why am I so stupid, so impulsive! I actually fell for someone else's trap. " Hu Xiong was incredibly vexed. At such a critical juncture, he had actually failed to calmly analyze the truth of the matter. His suspicious personality in the past had actually been overshadowed by his impulsiveness.

"Hahaha ?" Domineering Great General, if not for your impulsive personality, how could I have let you fall for my trap? "

The person who spoke slowly walked out from the array. He was none other than Hu Xiong's number one participant.

When Hu Xiong saw that Duan Zhi had walked out of the array, he was dumbstruck. He had never thought that his life and death brother, who had followed him for more than ten years, would actually plot against him.

"Duan Zhi, how can it be you? It was in vain for me to trust you so much, you actually ?"

"Domineering Great General, with your impulsive and suspicious personality, how could you be qualified to assume the position of the Jin Nan Country? Do you think that just because you are bold and unscrupulous, you can reach the position of the Great General and attack it and take down the West Qin Country? It is all because I, Duan Zhi, am giving you advice and advice. I, Duan Zhi, have plotted against the entire world, how can I always be subservient to a brute like you? "

Duan Zhi started to speak without thinking about the ten years of brotherly feelings, causing Hu Xiong to be so angry that he started stomping his feet.

Hu Xiong was not someone who was good at arguing. In the face of Duan Zhi's betrayal, other than being angry, he could not say anything. Coupled with his irritable and impulsive personality, he was infuriated to the point of spitting out a mouthful of blood. It was an attack on his heart.

"General Wang, are you alright?" Bai Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, I'm going to kill this traitor." The first time he had tasted the feeling of being betrayed was enough to make him want to kill.

"Don't be anxious, we need to figure out who is commanding us from the back. Duan Zhi alone might not be able to mobilize the elite soldiers, who are only following His Majesty's orders." Bai Sheng's face was also filled with killing intent, but he did not lose his cool.

Duan Zhi heard everything clearly, he was not in a hurry to stop deputy general, as if everything was being controlled by his palms.

"Commander Bai is really calm. However, it doesn't matter if you know the truth. No one should even think of escaping today." Duan Zhi's wild and complacent appearance was truly sinister and ugly.

Seeing that Hu Xiong and Yue Yang did not respond, Duan Zhi continued: "The reason why I came under your command over ten years ago, was because I was under the orders of Prince Consort Ma, oh no, under the orders of New Emperor. My goal was to nurture the military power, and prepare to take over Jin Nan's imperial power."

"For the past ten odd years, I have worked hard, and most of the generals in the army have followed the orders of the New Emperor. By the way, Tao Yong and the others who only followed the orders of the have been killed by me."

It was originally the Prince Consort of the Grand Princess, Lin Chongxi, who wanted to rebel, and had been conspiring for more than ten years. This was a heaven-shaking conspiracy, how could it not shock Hu Xiong and the other two?

"Why didn't you take action at that great time a dozen years ago? Because at that time, Grand Princess still did not know what New Emperor was thinking, and if Grand Princess did, he would have firmly opposed it.

"Furthermore, there was no one in the New Emperor at that time. Even if they tried to seize or kill Nan Jifu and obtain the Imperial Jade Seal, they wouldn't be able to sit on the throne. and will also be overthrown by people from the army, and then help the Royal Family become the true Emperor. "

Just as Duan Zhi was narrating all of his plans from ten years ago, Bai Sheng gave the order to the Left Guard with his eyes. He wanted him to report the truth of the matter to Nan Jifu so that he could come up with the appropriate response.

You received news that the Grand Princess said that you were conspiring against me as a fake, and the reason why you obtained Nan Jifu's secret decree was also because the New Emperor had asked the University Scholar to forge a fake. In the end, the news that you obtained Imperial guards's order to temporarily imprison Nan Jifu was also fake.

"As expected, in order to repay Nan Jifu's kindness, you magnified your impulses, and did not doubt the authenticity of this information at all. It's also thanks to knowing you from your side for the past ten years, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to use your personality to accomplish such a thing. "

"When you brought troops to the palace, I knew that my plan succeeded, hahaha ? In the position of the Great General, I, Duan Zhi, am the most suitable candidate, and you, Hu Xiong, are unworthy. "

Duan Zhi laughed again, causing Hu Xiong to vomit blood again.

Imperial guards, who had gone to explain the truth of the matter, was already standing in front of Nan Jifu.

"Your Majesty, this isn't good. It's not that the Great General was domineering and wanted to rebel, but Prince Consort Lin Chongxi was planning to rebel. They plotted that you would be placed under Imperial guards's house arrest ?"

The Imperial guards told him the whole story. Nan Jifu was so angry that he felt dizzy, this was the husband of his most respected close royal sister, he had never doubted Lin Chongxi's loyalty to him.

After such an incident, Nan Jifu could no longer live to regret it. He immediately ordered Hu Xiong to lead his troops to stop the invading Duan Zhi, and also ordered Bai Sheng to lead the Imperial guards to protect him and the crown prince to escape the palace. This way, they could first preserve their lives, and then secretly gather troops that did not turn to Lin Chongxi to counterattack. Or borrow troops from other countries to regain the throne.

As for the rest of the family members, the reason Nan Jifu did not bring them with him was because he believed that no matter how heartless his royal sister was, he would not ignore all of their feelings and kill them all. It was just that if any of the palace maid resisted, they would probably die a horrible death.

The decision of the current Nan Jifu wasn't because of how important the throne was to him, but because he saw the true reason for his rebellion. After he gave up on Zhulu Central Plains, Lin Chongxi, who was already determined to take the imperial power, could no longer sit still.

Once Lin Chongxi obtained the throne, the people of Jin Nan would once again be embroiled in a slaughter. This way, the citizens of Jin Nan would once again sink into a abyss of suffering.
