I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

After dealing with the eldest prince, Xiao Yizhuo turned around with his sword in hand and looked at the soldiers whose morale was high.

They have now completely understood that the emperor cannot tolerate even a righteous man like General Xiao who is dedicated to the country and the people.

They will probably end up with an even more tragic ending than Xiao Yizhuo in the future, so it would be better for them to take advantage of Xiao Yizhuo's uprising and follow him into the capital to completely change Nansheng.

This will also help them to have a good future.

Thinking of this, the soldiers looked at Xiao Yizhuo with a more determined look in their eyes.

They raised their silver spears together and shouted, "Clear the emperor's side! Clear the emperor's side! Clear the emperor's side!"

The black-clad men on the eldest prince's side were killed or injured, and only a few of them barely survived and escaped from Xiao Yizhuo.

The man in black who managed to escape took his last breath and sent a message to the emperor in the capital, telling him that Xiao Yizhuo was about to lead his troops to attack the capital.

After the news spread, these men in black never returned to the capital.

They all knew that the capital was about to change completely. Even if they went back, it would be in vain. It would be better for them to take advantage of the present moment, hide their identities, return to their hometown, be ordinary people, and live the rest of their lives in peace and stability.

Xiao Yizhuo mounted his horse and led his troops towards the capital.

It took them only three days to reach the capital, a distance of more than a hundred miles.

Before this, the emperor had just received the news from the man in black.

I saw in the letter that Xiao Yizhuo had beheaded the eldest prince at Qingyu Pass and completely eliminated a group of imperial guards. The imperial guards were almost wiped out. Xiao Yizhuo is now leading his army towards the capital, under the name of clearing the court of corrupt officials.

Upon hearing the news, the emperor's face turned pale.

How could he not know what Xiao Yizhuo's slogan of "clearing the court of evil officials" meant?

This is not about clearing the emperor's side, it is clearly about completely getting rid of him as the monarch.

Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly felt regretful. Why was he so anxious to set up an ambush on Xiao Yizhuo's way back to the court?

If it weren't for this, he probably wouldn't have angered Xiao Yizhuo and put himself in the dilemma he is in now.

It was useless to regret now, the emperor quickly thought of the countermeasures in his mind.

Now he has sent all the Royal Guards out to ambush Xiao Yizhuo. Now except for the group of death warriors around him, Kyoto no longer has any combat power.

If Xiao Yizhuo attacked the capital now, he would probably have no ability to resist.

Thinking of this, the emperor pursed his lips tightly and said, "Shadow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of dark shadows appeared above the hall and knelt on the ground respectfully.

"See Your Majesty!"

"I want you to capture Xiao Yizhuo's wife and children now. If Xiao Yizhuo really wants to rebel without caring about anything, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The emperor ordered in a cold voice, with a vicious look in his eyes.

Xiao Yizhuo could actually be so hasty and careless. Could it be that he forgot that Wen Shutang and his children were in the capital?

The shadows all said yes and then disappeared from the spot. They went directly to the general's mansion and found out that the three children had been sent to the Zhao mansion. Then they split into two groups.

One group went to the Zhao Mansion specifically to capture the three children, while another group searched for Wen Shutang in the General's Mansion.

The eight people who had been guarding the door of Wen Shutang's room soon noticed a strange aura surrounding the general's mansion.

Mu Yin frowned slightly: "Someone is coming."

Naturally, the others also noticed this aura and took up fighting stances.

Sure enough, the next moment dozens of people suddenly appeared in the courtyard of the general's mansion.

Both sides were ready to go, but Mu Bai didn't give them time to speak and launched an attack directly.

The others did not stop either, they instantly appeared next to the shadow and started fighting.

The battle here was fierce, but the situation at the Zhao Mansion seemed much quieter.

After all, there are court officials like Zhao Sixian and Zhao Linhe there, so the shadows have to think twice before taking any action.

They appeared directly in the courtyard of the Zhao Mansion, startling Zhao Fuqiu who was playing with the children.

Looking at the huge crowd, Zhao Fuqiu was slightly stunned, then frowned: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into my Zhao Mansion!"

"Hand over these three children." Shadow did not answer Zhao Fuqiu's question, but stated his request coldly.

Zhao Fuqiu frowned even deeper, took a step forward and stood in front of the children, lowered her head and told the servants to take the children back to their rooms.

"This is the Zhao family, not a place for you to run wild!"

Hearing what Zhao Fuqiu said, Yingzi frowned impatiently, but without saying anything, he took an attacking stance and tried to snatch the child away.

"stop!"

There was a shout behind them, and everyone turned to look.

Zhao Linhe frowned and looked at the huge crowd of people: "What are you doing?"

Shadow knew Zhao Linhe, so he was naturally very respectful to him: "Lord Zhao, Xiao Yizhuo has raised an army to rebel and has now arrived at the capital. His Majesty wants us to arrest the three sons of the guilty ministers. Lord Zhao should not stop us. If he does, don't blame us for being disrespectful."

The threat in Shadow's words was very obvious. Zhao Linhe frowned even deeper when he heard what he said.

Xiao Yizhuo raised an army to rebel? What on earth was going on?

"What does adult affairs have to do with children? You can go back. I will not hand over the children. If your Majesty is going to vent his anger on the children over such a thing, then you are really confused! A confused monarch should indeed give way to others!" Zhao Linhe said coldly.

The only remaining longing for the emperor in my heart also completely disappeared.

He is now very disappointed with the emperor, so disappointed that he agrees with Xiao Yizhuo to lead an army to attack the capital and completely replace the monarch of Nansheng!

Hearing what he said, Shadow's eyes shone: "Okay, the Zhao family has evil intentions and wants to rebel with Xiao the thief. Today I will follow your orders to arrest you!"

As he said this, he was about to rush towards Zhao Linhe, and the blade was about to cut Zhao Linhe's throat.

The sharp arrow feather hit Shadow's heart with a "whoosh". Shadow looked up at the roof in disbelief.

Before he could say anything, he fell to the ground and was completely silent.

Mu Zhu, who was standing on the roof, wiped his longbow calmly, then jumped down and stood in front of Zhao Linhe.

"Master Zhao, the general's wife ordered us to come here to protect the safety of the young masters and young ladies. With us here, these people can't hurt you."

As soon as he finished speaking, three figures appeared behind Mu Zhu.

The two groups of shadows were quickly dealt with by the Twelve Guards. The emperor waited and waited in the palace but they never came with the three children to report to him.

The emperor became more and more uneasy. Just when he was anxious, Xiao Dezi came crawling in from outside.

"Your Majesty! It's bad! It's bad! Xiao Yizhuo has led his troops to attack the palace!"

When the emperor heard what Xiao Dezi said, his face turned pale.

I had already thought of the worst outcome in my mind. Now, the Royal Guards were completely wiped out and there was no news about Shadow at all.

His situation was hopeless, and the emperor waved his hand helplessly: "Go, run for your life."

Xiao Dezi took one last deep look at the emperor, then turned around and left the palace.

Only the emperor was left sitting alone in the hall, writing something on the table with a pen in his hand, and a bright yellow sword was placed beside him.
