"Ah!"

With a muffled sound, all the cups, bowls, plates and dishes on the table were shaken upwards, making a crisp sound.

The defending general exerted force with his hands, twisted the deputy general's arms backwards, held down his head, and slammed it hard on the hard mahogany table.

The deputy general's ears were buzzing from the shock. In the pain, he seemed to understand something in his heart.

But at this moment, he was under control, so he had to pretend to be confused and looked at the guard with this posture: "Sir, are you kidding me?"

The incident happened suddenly, and everyone at the banquet looked over.

Some were stunned, some were shocked, some just thought they were drunk and playing around, and some had a hint of unnaturalness on their faces.

Yan Yuanan took in the expressions of these people, raised his right hand and pointed at the suspicious officials.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

Although it is not the time to "rather kill by mistake than let the criminal go", it is definitely a good idea to control him first.

Su Bai obeyed the order and immediately took people to take those people away from the banquet.

The remaining officials were mostly sober, their smiles froze on their faces, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

They finally realized that what they saw was no joke.

What happened?

The relationship between the commander and the deputy commander was so good that it was not an exaggeration to describe them as "like father and son." How could they suddenly turn against each other?

Unable to make up her mind, she looked at the eldest princess and the prince sitting in the main seat.

The two of them looked calm, as if they hadn't seen the argument at all, and they looked relaxed.

The prince leaned close to the princess's ear and said something to her. The princess glanced at him and smiled.

Everyone was even more confused, but their hearts suddenly felt at peace.

Since the two most honorable ones turned a blind eye, it means that everything is under control and there is nothing to worry about.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The deputy general who was pinned down on the table came to his senses and struggled to push the pot of stewed mutton in front of him down with both the meat and the soup.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang.

Unlike the capital, the dishes here are characterized by large portions.

The porcelain bowl containing the braised lamb was only slightly smaller than a washbasin, and the food inside had basically not been touched.

The sound of such a large porcelain basin filled with mutton soup falling to the ground could be clearly heard both inside and outside the room.

Yan Changqing was startled and reached out to pull Qin Yaoguang up and hold her in his arms.

He reacted extremely quickly and moved swiftly, and it only took a split second.

The guard raised his head, looking out the window shrouded in the night, his cloudy old eyes sparkling with a gleam of light.

He applied more force on his hand, and with a "snap" sound, the deputy general's arm that he was holding folded unnaturally in the opposite direction, and it was obviously broken.

The sudden severe pain made the deputy general gasp, but he still had a smile on his face.

He has a square face and is not handsome, but his features are regular and he has the bravery of a military commander.

But now, his smile looks hideous and weird no matter how you look at it.

"hiss--"

The deputy general laughed bitterly: "Sir, you shouldn't blame me. I had no choice."

His voice fell into Qin Yaoguang's ears, making her heart move.

Prince Ruyang is very good at playing with people's hearts. It seems that his tactics towards this deputy general are not as simple as just bribery and inducement.

Everyone reacted to this shocking change.

The military generals stood up, stood in the front, and asked the civil officials to step back.

No one was carrying weapons when they came to attend the banquet hosted by the commander of Yumen Pass. Since there was danger, they would naturally be the first to take on the responsibility.

The next moment, footsteps were heard outside the window, coming in an orderly and approaching pattern.

Everyone's emotions became increasingly tense.

Of all the people in the room, Yan Yuanan was the calmest.

He lowered his eyes slightly, showing no emotion, and gently put down the wine glass with his right hand, his demeanor was calm and elegant.

it's time.

The moment Yan Yuanan raised his eyes, the sound of fighting was heard outside, and the sound of swords and guns clashing was endless, but no one stepped in.

Yan Changqing looked at Yan Yuanan and asked him with his eyes: What's going on?

After they handed over all the manpower to Yan Yuanan, the entire plan was formulated by him and they did not know the details.

Qin Yaoguang raised her head in his arms and stroked his arm with her palm: "I believe him."

With Yan Yuanan around, she is not worried.

Yan Changqing looked down at her, held her arm and relaxed a little.

He believed in Qin Yaoguang's judgment, but when it came to Qin Yaoguang's safety, he believed in himself more and would not relax at all.

Listening to the sounds of fighting outside, the atmosphere in the room became tense and no one dared to relax at all.

After subduing the deputy general, the guard strode to the door and became alert.

Yan Yuanan walked up to Qin Yaoguang and bowed respectfully: "Mother, please rest assured, there will be no danger."

However, Qingbai, Su Bai and other trustworthy guards were not around at the moment, as they were assigned other tasks by him.

Even Yan Shouzhuo was not there.

Yan Changqing glanced at him with a hint of reproach: "In any battle, victory is achieved by using the normal tactics and the unusual tactics. Risky moves are the key to survival in desperate situations, and should not be taken as common sense. Do not overly rely on unusual and lewd techniques."

Before, Prince Ruyang was in the dark and they were in the light.

That's why Qin Yaoguang fell into his trap and went through such a hard time.

But now, the situation has completely reversed.

It was he who deliberately leaked the news to lure the other party into taking the bait. Moreover, the situation was on the territory of the general's mansion, so he had the upper hand in terms of time, place and people.

There is absolutely no need to take such risks.

In addition, Yan Changqing knew that Qin Yaoguang wanted to train Yan Yuanan to be the next emperor.

As an emperor, holding the unique power in the world, he must act uprightly and honestly.

As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked too. It is human nature to follow the example of the superior.

Therefore, the emperor must set an example himself.

A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Yan Yuanan's eyes, and he bowed again: "Yes, I know I was wrong."

As smart as he was, he immediately understood Yan Changqing's intention of taking the opportunity to warn him.

Indeed, when he was making his plan, he had more than one choice before him.

He finally decided on this plan not only to avoid unnecessary casualties, but also to satisfy his own selfish desires.

He wanted the betrayer to be exposed and unable to hide.

He also wanted to see with his own eyes the other party's conspiracy being exposed, and the sight of him thinking he had succeeded but failing miserably, and then crying and repenting.

This was the most perfect strategy in his mind.

It is enough to be refreshing.

After being pointed out by Yan Changqing, he suddenly realized that he had lost his original intention.

Victory should be the only goal.

Any other thoughts besides these will bring potential dangers.

"I understand, Father."

He was convinced.

A quarter of an hour later, the sounds of fighting hidden in the night gradually died down.

After a few loud laughs, a fierce general appeared in front of everyone.

He stood at the door like an iron tower, wiped the blood off his face. His beard was overgrown like weeds because he hadn't shaved for a long time.

He held two messy heads in his hands, and the blood dripping from them flowed from outside to the door.

In just a few breaths, a small pool of blood appeared.
