Chapter 1035: Decisive Battle (1)

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.

How did he let all these people join his camp?

What about the Saintess’ ambition?

Had they all been abandoned?

Or did she think that Zongzheng Wei was easier to control than him and wanted to support a puppet monarch?

Even if the King of the Southern Wilderness racked his brains, he would not have guessed that the Saintess had already been refined into a puppet by Ling

Yun.

Just as the King of the Southern Wilderness was trying his best to find Yin Chongshan, Xie Jinnian’s gaze landed on Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao pulled Zongzheng Wei to the east corner of the door.

The Saintess did her best to block wave after wave of attacks for them. A trusted guard of Yin Chongshan mixed with the forces of the two tribes and attacked the throne room.

He came to Su Xiaoxiao and Zongzheng Hui. “Miss Cheng, Your Majesty, His

Excellency asked me to escort you out.”

Su Xiaoxiao said to Zongzheng Hui, “Let’s go.”

Zongzheng Wei hesitated and said, “I’m worried about Mother.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Your mother just admitted in the hall that you’re the Zongzheng Wei. If something happens now, won’t it confirm that he’s guilty and killed you? He’s not so stupid. At most, he’ll put your mother under house arrest and won’t hurt her life!”

The King of the Southern Wilderness could even imprison his own brother. He was extraordinarily vicious.

If they really pushed him too far, he would do anything.

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..
