I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

He was still yelling at Lin Shuwen when he suddenly felt a gust of sharp wind rushing into his throat.

Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his throat.

His wide open mouth froze in an instant and couldn't close for a long time.

Lin Shuwen opened his eyes wide, first with disbelief, then with fear, and finally with reluctance...

Standing next to Lin Shuwen and holding the trumpet, Mr. Yu heard a "hiss" sound and a stream of blood instantly sprayed on his face.

Eunuch Yu was stunned and looked at the half-broken crossbow arrow sticking out of the back of Lin Shuwen's head in horror.

"Oh!"

Lin Shuwen fell heavily to the ground, and the crossbow arrow that pierced the back of his head was knocked back some by the hard ground.

Lin Shuwen's body twitched a few times, and blood gushed out of his open mouth.

Those eyes that were still open scared everyone at the city gate.

Are you sure Lin Shuwen is Lin Yiran’s father?

The action was a bit too decisive.

The six ministers were so frightened by the precise arrows shot from the opposite side that they squatted on the ground.

Damn it, if this arrow was aimed at them, they wouldn't be able to survive.

If they were not mistaken, the arrow was shot by the girl from the Lin family.

This girl is really cruel. She killed her father in public.

He is a ruthless person.

Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend!

"Protect...the emperor!! Protect the emperor quickly!" Eunuch Yu shouted at the top of his voice as he squatted down with the ministers.

If this arrow had hit Emperor Wu of Liang's head, even the immortal God would not have been able to save him.

Emperor Wu of Liang was influenced by his ministers' actions and squatted down unconsciously.

After squatting halfway, he immediately reacted, plucked up the courage to stand up, and winked at the secret guard.

The secret guards, who had long since come to their senses, immediately stood beside Emperor Wu of Liang with their shields and surrounded him tightly.

Bai Hong's heavy eyes raised a hint of shock.

He also didn't expect that Lin Yiran would act so quickly and decisively. She didn't say a word to Lin Shuwen and just killed him directly.

The soldiers on both sides, who were originally noisy and cursing at each other, all shut their mouths after seeing the terrifying arrow with their own eyes.

The scene of hundreds of thousands of people fighting suddenly became silent.

The soldiers confronting each other on the city gate tower shrank down unconsciously.

All the members of the Heavenly God Army looked at Lin Yiran in shock.

The expressions of the Xiao family froze, with anger, shock, and surprise changing on everyone's faces.

General Xiao shouted, "Well done, General Long, you are putting justice before your own family."

Everyone came to their senses and followed suit, "General Long is sacrificing his own relatives for the sake of justice!!"

When Xiao Yunzhan saw Lin Yiran fire the first arrow of the war, he immediately raised his hand.

"Crossbowmen, get in position!"

Rows of soldiers holding crossbows shouted in unison, with great momentum.

"The crossbowmen are in place."

Xiao Yunzhan held the imperial seal in his hand and pointed to the city gate. A resounding voice came over.

"Here is the Imperial Seal. This king was given the mandate by Heaven. Since I have a long life and eternal prosperity, I was personally conferred the title of Emperor Yongchang by the Divine King. I will surely win this battle!"

"If you still refuse to surrender and refuse to change your ways, I will kill you without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the hundreds of thousands of Heavenly God Army behind him saw the Imperial Seal in Xiao Yunzhan's hand, and they shouted excitedly, with a majestic and loud voice.

"Emperor Yongchang is appointed by heaven, and he will win this battle!"

"Emperor Yongchang is appointed by heaven, and he will win this battle!!"

"..."

The soldiers defending the capital city were so frightened by the high morale of the Heavenly God Army that their faces turned pale.

They stared with wide eyes at the imperial seal in Xiao Yunzhan's hand.

This was the first time I saw the imperial seal so clearly. I could even see the dragon pattern carved on it from such a distance.

Bai Hong looked at the imperial seal in Xiao Yunzhan's hand, glanced at the disturbed military morale, and turned to look at Emperor Wu of Liang who was shocked.

Looking at the expression on Emperor Wu of Liang's face, he guessed that the imperial seal in Xiao Yunzhan's hand should be real.

The Xiao family was so powerful that they actually managed to take the imperial seal away from them.

"Your Majesty, how come the imperial seal is in the hands of the rebels?"

Emperor Wu of Liang suddenly raised his head and looked at Bai Hong, frowning and trying hard to suppress the panic in his heart.

"The rebels just took something and said it was the imperial seal, and they were just trying to deceive the refugees."

"The imperial seal is in my study. How could the rebels have it?"

He refused to admit it, so who could prove that the imperial seal in the hands of the rebels was real?

Bai Hong looked at Emperor Wu of Liang with suspicion.

"Then please take out the imperial seal and reassure the soldiers."

He saw the jade seal in Xiao Yunzhan's hand very clearly, and it was real at first glance.

At this time, it was impossible for Xiao Yunzhan to produce a fake imperial seal.

Emperor Wu of Liang looked at General Bai in disbelief.

"Bai Hong!!!"

Emperor Wu of Liang's face darkened, "Are you doubting me?"

Either the military generals were tactless, or the civil officials did not dare to speak to the king like this in public.

Isn't this old fellow Bai Hong just relying on the fact that the capital city needs him now?

"My lord, I don't dare!"

Bai Hong was respectful in his behavior, but he continued to press forward slowly.

"But now the rebels have taken out the imperial seal. If the emperor does not take out the imperial seal, wouldn't it prove that the rebels have the real one?"

"If that's the case, then..."

Bai Hong's eyes swept across the faces of the people on the city gate tower, leaving everyone to experience the words they didn't say.

Ministry of Revenue Chai Yuanyu met Bai Hong's gaze, hesitated for a moment and spoke in time to persuade him,

"Your Majesty, General Bai is right. We only need to take out the imperial seal to suppress the morale of the rebels."

"What's fake is fake, it can't be real."

Xiang Qingye, the Minister of Works, glanced at Bai Hong and Chai Yuanyu, his heart trembled, and he roughly understood what was going on.

He silently took two steps towards the corner tower to make sure he would not be affected.

The Minister of War Wu Feng also followed suit and said,

"At present, the enemy outnumbers us, so using the imperial seal to disrupt the enemy's morale is indeed the most appropriate."

"The rebellious Emperor Yongchang used a fake imperial seal, and the military morale he had built up could be dispersed in an instant."

"The common people don't have that much brains. They only recognize the imperial seal. I guess the rebels were deceived by the Xiao family in this way."

Bai Hong looked at Wu Feng in surprise and sneered in his heart.

Idiot, do you really think that a royal seal can attract so many soldiers to follow you?

The purpose of passing on the imperial seal was just to make Xiao Yunzhan's ascension to the throne more legitimate.

The main purpose is to shut up the officials and noble families in the capital. The people's mouths need to be shut up with food and drink.

Of the six ministers, two expressed their opinions, while the other four frowned and drooped their eyelids, looking as if they were still thinking.

It is true that taking out the imperial seal can intimidate the rebels, which is better than letting a river of blood flow on the city gate tower.

They had just seen how far the rebels' crossbows had a range.

Their crossbows could not reach such a level, and if the two sides started shooting at each other, the only ones who would die would be the soldiers defending the capital.
