Chapter 1,356: Deceiving the Emperor

It was late at night, late at night in reality. Most of the players in Tianling City had already logged off. The remaining players were sparsely out of the city to level up. Only the small gate was open, and the main gate was closed. This was the case every night in the main city.

…

I stood on the city gate and looked far away. The fertile fields outside were dark and I couldn't see anything. But in the silence, I could hear the sound of horse hooves. The 5,000 heavy cavalry battalion led by Jingyin were coming!

"Pah pah..."

Amid the flapping of the wings of the war eagle, a war eagle scout slowly landed and said respectfully: "Commander, our people are here. Lord Jingyin sent me to inform you. Once the torches are raised on the city, our people will rush into the city immediately."

I nodded silently.

Yan Zhao Wushuang looked down at the city, frowned and said, "Damn, why is there a patrol team of 200 people patrolling the East Gate tonight, and they are not our people."

"Whose people?"

"The Imperial Guards, but they are not under the control of Situ Xin. It seems that one of the Iron Guards is the captain."

"No time."

I looked at the time. There was still half a minute before 12 o'clock, so I raised my arm and smiled: "After I kill this captain, you will immediately order the city gate to open and let the Imperial Guards in."

"OK!"

The people around me The flames suddenly surged, and I instantly entered the state of transformation into a god. The Butterfly Sword and the Chunjun Sword were unsheathed at the same time, and I suddenly swooped down from the air. With a low whistle, I slashed the centurion with the Wind Slash + One Rider Against a Thousand. He hurriedly turned his horse around, put his shield across his chest, and shouted: "Who dares to assassinate this general?"

My sword blade had already penetrated his breastplate. Under the light of the Butterfly Sword, I sneered: "Do I need to assassinate someone like you? Die in peace!"

With a swing of the long sword, I cut off his chest and chopped off his head directly.

Blood was spurting, and a group of imperial guards hurriedly raised their weapons, pointed at me, and shouted: "Who dares to assassinate the general guarding the city?"

Torches were raised one after another, shining on my face. I slowly sheathed my sword and said: "It's me, what's the problem?"

A group of soldiers were stunned and knelt down one after another: "Your Highness! Why...why did you want to kill this General Xu?"

"Now I announce the highest order of all the legions in Tianling City: Eliminate all the Iron Guards! You have nothing to do, retreat."

"Yes!"

Sure enough, my tactic of killing first and reporting later is still very reliable.

…

The city gate suddenly opened, and countless soldiers from the Imperial Guards Heavy Cavalry Battalion entered the city under the leadership of Jingyin. Her mount was faster, and she approached quickly and said, "Sir, our people have entered the city. What should we do now?"

"Have Han Yuan, Xiao Li, Long Yan, and Xia Ye gone to the palace in person?"

"They are already above the palace. The moment we enter the palace, they will immediately land to protect Your Majesty."

"Okay, let's go, raise torches, and enter the palace!"

"Yes!"

A group of Imperial Guards raised torches, illuminating the city as if it were daytime. Yan Zhaowushuang also jumped off the city wall and led hundreds of Changfeng Army soldiers to follow us all the way. The night on King's Avenue was no longer as peaceful as before. Civilians living in the city closed their doors, fearing that the turmoil would affect them.

The journey was unimpeded, and the imperial guards who tried to intercept were stopped by Yan Zhaowushuang with the Great Spear Token. This Great Spear Iron Token was indeed very useful.

When we arrived at the gate of the palace, the imperial guards all retreated on their own, replaced by a group of armed iron guards, about 1,000+ people, guarding the gate of the palace. A centurion held a long sword and shouted: "Your Highness Xiaoyao, you led thousands of troops to break into the palace, what do you want?"

"Nothing." I held the reins of the Shenlie Dragon Horse and smiled slightly, "The country was fought for by our group of soldiers after life and death, and it must not fall into the hands of villains. The iron guards deceived their superiors and subordinates and murdered loyal people. I came here this time to strangle you You bunch of traitors, all of you, die, no mercy!"

He was furious, and pointed his long sword at me: "Li Xiaoyao, you traitor, you are the teacher of the emperor, the king of Xiaoyao of the empire, but you actually launched a mutiny to murder His Majesty, you are simply a dog thief that is hated by both humans and gods."

Jingyin beside me couldn't stand it anymore, pointed his sword, and said lightly: "Imperial Guards, kill!"

The shouts of killing started, and the Imperial Guards rushed over one after another, iron spears and sharp swords quickly penetrated the bodies of their opponents. Most of these iron-clad guards were drunkards, how could they be the opponents of the Imperial Guards? In less than ten minutes, the opponent's 1,000 people were all turned into meat sauce, and the casualties of the Imperial Guards were less than a hundred people.

He drove straight into Luo Qianlin's bedroom.

There were Iron Guards intercepting us along the way, but they were killed one after another. When we arrived outside the Emperor's bedroom, there were nearly a thousand Iron Guards guarding the palace. Dense archers guarded the steps of the palace. A general in a red robe raised his sword and shouted, "Shoot with arrows, kill these rebels!"

An Iron Guard hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, is this His Royal Highness Xiaoyao?"

"Kill him!"

He shouted, "Li Xiaoyao is already a rebel of the empire. Kill him and make him a marquis!"

Arrows rained down like rain, but how could the brave and skilled warriors of the Royal Forest Army be afraid of random shooting? The heavy cavalrymen picked up the shields hanging around them to form a shield wall, and bounced away the random arrows with a "pop, snap, snap", while the horses' heads Our whole body was wrapped in armor, and arrows could not penetrate at all. This round of dense arrows caused almost no damage to us.

"kill!"

With a low roar, I directly activated the Sword Breaking Mountain Skill, crushing the stone pillars one after another. The huge beams collapsed and killed countless archers of the Iron Guards. The heavy cavalry of the Royal Forest Army rushed away one after another. In the blink of an eye, the steps above the stairs changed. It became a pool of blood.

The general in red robe quickly retreated into the palace hall, and I also stared at him. I followed him in with my sword. Jingyin, Yan Zhao Wushuang and others also led the heavy cavalry into the hall.

This person must be Gao Liancheng.

The palace maids in the palace lit up the lamps, making the place brightly lit. When they saw the imperial guards with bright swords charging into the palace, they were all stunned, and some even screamed in fright. They usually stayed in the palace Living a peaceful life, when have you ever seen such a battle?

…

"stop!"

With a low roar full of majesty, Emperor Luo Qianlin appeared, wearing a dragon robe, pressing the hilt of the Emperor's Blade, looking at a group of us with cold eyes, and said: "What is going on?"

Gao Liancheng hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Li Xiaoyao intends to rebel. He led the imperial army to attack from outside the city without His Majesty's imperial decree. He has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and disregarding his superiors. I beg your Majesty to order severe punishment without mercy!"

Luo Qianlin looked at me, with an unprecedented coldness in his eyes, and said, "Master Li, what's going on? General Zhao, how come you followed him in his rebellion?"

Yan Zhao Wushuang smiled, crossed his arms and said with a smile: "Because Li Xiaoyao and I are friends who depend on each other for life and death, that's all."

Luo Qianlin looked at Lin Qiong again and growled: "General Lin Qiong, I treat you well. How could you participate in the rebellion? Do you know that you have committed an unpardonable death penalty?"

Lin Qiong held the long sword with blood in his hand and said calmly: "Wei Chen is here today and has no intention of leaving alive. He is only willing to follow His Highness King Xiaoyao. Even if he dies, he will not regret it."

Jingyin was the calmest, clasping his fists and saying respectfully: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Xiaoyao has not conspired to rebel."

"Shut up!"

Luo Qianlin shouted sharply: "Leading the Royal Forest Army into my palace, isn't this considered treason?"

Jingyin raised the corner of his mouth and smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country. You should also know that without your Master Li, you would not be where you are now, right? You must never forget that every plant and tree in this country , how could it be that Li Shuai didn't help you defeat him? Now, "the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey is cooked", "the flying bird is gone, the good bow is hidden", you actually ordered to monitor Li Shuai, and even relied on the villains like the Iron Guards, Your Majesty , are you so worried about losing your country?”

Luo Qianlin's face turned pale: "General Jingyin, what do you mean?"

"It's not interesting." Jingyin raised her beautiful eyebrows, revealing the valiant and heroic appearance of the female general. She held the long sword flat in front of her chest and said: "This world is filled with virtuous and capable people. If your Majesty keeps doing unvirtuous things, Then someone will naturally take his place.”

Luo Qianlin was shaking with anger, looked at me with cold eyes, and said, "Li Xiaoyao, do you want to replace me?"

…

"Keng!"

The sword sheathed, I folded my arms and said respectfully: "Qian Lin, you are the lord of the empire and the king of a country. You can manage Tianling City well. I am deeply proud of you, but you value the iron guards." , let them infiltrate into the major legions. It has been said since ancient times that you should not use people with suspicion and use them without suspicion. You have committed a military taboo. If you re-employ the iron guards, it means that the generals who have won half of the country for you will leave you one by one. And go, and in the end you will be a real loner."

"Li Xiaoyao!"

Luo Qianlin's face turned livid and he shouted sternly: "Have you ever seen me as an emperor in your eyes?!"

I raised my head and looked at him coldly, my voice gradually became colder, and I said calmly: "Luo Qianlin, I can lift you to the throne, and I can pull you down from the throne. I, Li Xiaoyao, have a clear conscience and will serve your Luo family wholeheartedly. Conquering the world, now that you have unified the seven kingdoms, you have begun to raise iron guards and kill my former friends. I don’t care about the world, so I can retire and give way, but I can tolerate it, but I can’t bear you killing my friends. "

As I said that, I said coldly: "Someone, chop Gao Liancheng down!"

Lin Qiong rushed over quickly, his sword flashed past, and Gao Liancheng's head was flying before he even had time to say anything.

"Li Xiaoyao, you are so presumptuous!!"

Luo Qianlin was furious.

…

I was calm on the outside, but inside I was in a state of turmoil.

Sometimes we want to be good people, but in the face of various realities we have to do things we don't want to do.
