Chapter 308: Prince Beijing Rebellion
Jia Cong winked at a guard beside him, and then continued to say to the people in front, "You are the Dragon Guards, the soldiers of the two emperors, the emperor and the emperor, not Feng Tang's private soldiers! Besides, have you ever thought about what you are doing now?"
"Rebellion?"
"To be able to enter the Dragon Guard, even if your ancestors may not be very prominent, it is also an honor earned by following Taizu, Taizong or the nobles in the battlefield? Aren't you afraid of dying and bringing shame to your ancestors?"
"Moreover, even if Feng Tang rebelled, he only had 20,000 soldiers and horses. What's more, not all the generals of Long Jinwei are necessarily treacherous ministers. Do you think you have control of the situation?" Jia Cong said lightly.
"Prince Beijing rebelled. If he succeeded, he might become the emperor. Since Feng Tang chose to rebel, he could naturally be granted the title of Duke and King . But what does it have to do with you, the soldiers? Do you think that even if Prince Beijing succeeds, he will still treat a group of rebellious soldiers well? I'm afraid that it won't be long before all of you will be dealt with one by one."
The general on the other side did not change his expression. "I have long heard that the Champion Marquis has the talent of a top scholar. In this verbal battle, I am naturally no match for him!"
"However, the prince and the commander-in-chief have already issued an order that if your majesty and the champion marquis do not go within two quarters of an hour, then all the troops will start moving immediately."
"Do you really think you have a sure win?" Jia Cong sneered, "Do you think I can help His Majesty escape? "
"With the ability of the Marquis of Guanjun, he can bravely charge into the three armies. Naturally, I am no match for him. But how many people can the Marquis of Guanjun protect? Everyone knows that the Marquis of Guanjun is a man who values friendship and loyalty. The Marquis may not care about others, but what about the Queen? What about the women of the Jia family? But they are all in the team. If the Marquis does not care, then we can only accept it."
"How dare you!" Jia Cong shouted.
At this time, the guard returned and whispered to Jia Cong, "Your Majesty has ordered that the general can make his own decision!"
Upon hearing this, Jia Cong pointed his spear at the other general and shouted, "Since I gave you the title of 'Champion', you are the first one to threaten me. Guess what, if I kill you now, Shui Rong and Feng Tang will not be able to do anything to me!"
As he spoke, Jia Cong rode his horse forward.
The general's face changed drastically. He didn't expect Jia Cong to have no concerns. However, he did not doubt Jia Cong's words. Not to mention that Jia Cong killed him, if Jia Cong compromised, it would be easy for Prince Beijing or Feng Tang to kill him.
While he was thinking, Jia Cong had already arrived in front of him. Before he could beg for mercy, Jia Cong's spear rushed towards him like a black python.
"puff!"
The general only tried to block the attack, but Jia Cong knocked his weapon away and pierced his chest with a spear. "If you want to threaten me, you should think about how many lives you have!"
As he spoke, Jia Cong slashed the man's head with his spear, then poked it with his spear and said to the stunned Long Jinwei, "Now, you can take me to see Shui Rong and Feng Tang."
This team of Dragon Guards did not dare to move rashly and led Jia Cong directly forward.
…
The changes here have been seen by many officials who accompanied them. They did not expect that Prince Beijing and Feng Tang would actually rebel! For a moment, everyone was in a panic!
The women at the back were in an even worse situation. Although they didn't know what was happening in the front, it was obviously not normal.
In the phoenix sedan chair at the front of the female family, the Queen looked solemn, "Has the person sent to the front not returned yet? Why is the spirit carriage stopping here!"
As he was speaking, Chief Steward Zhou came back, tumbling and crawling, and yelled, "My queen, it's bad! Prince Beijing and Feng Tang are rebelling!"
"What!" The Queen stood up suddenly, "What is the situation ahead now?"
"Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered that you just protect yourself. His Majesty and Marquis Guanjun will take care of the things ahead. Moreover, His Majesty told you to rest assured, saying that Marquis Guanjun has been prepared for a long time."
The queen felt relieved for a moment, and then ordered, "Continue to check the situation ahead and report back at any time!"
"I'm Teng Wu, the personal guard of Marquis Guanjun. I'm here to protect Her Majesty the Empress by Marquis Guanjun's order!" Just then, a team of twenty to thirty cavalrymen suddenly appeared and surrounded the entire imperial carriage.
The female official in the imperial carriage received the order , walked out in horror, took out Teng Wu's seal and showed it to the queen. The queen saw that it was the jade pendant she had given to Jia Cong before, and the soldiers outside did not move unusually, so she felt relieved.
Butler Zhou's roar was also heard by the many women who were following closely behind, and immediately there was chaos.
Several people from the Jia family also gathered in front of Grandmother Jia's sedan chair in fear. Grandmother Jia got off the sedan chair with a serious look on her face, glanced at Lady Xing, Lady Wang, Lady You, and Yuanyang, and shouted coldly, "Why are you so flustered? Shut up!"
"Everyone is standing guard in front of me. There is His Majesty and Brother Cong in front. They are just useless people who rebelled together. Are they worthy of our family of military honors to be so frightened? If we win, it will be fine. If we lose, you know what to do!"
Yuanyang trembled all over as she walked forward to support the old lady, tightly grasping the hairpin on her head with one hand. If the rebels came to attack, this would be her last choice.
A moment later, a group of knights came flying over. Everyone was panicking, but they saw the leading knight dismounted, saluted to the old lady and Yuanyang, and said, "I am Zhao Xiaoliu, the general's personal guard. I am here to protect the old lady and concubine Jin by the general's order! The general has ordered the old lady and others to go and meet up with the queen. We have people over there too."
Upon hearing this, Jia's mother asked anxiously, "How is the situation in front? Where is your general?"
"Madam, I don't know what happened, but the general has already told us that if anything happens, we don't need to worry about anything else. We just need to protect the women at home!"
Hearing this, Jia's mother immediately relaxed a lot. Since it was already explained in advance, maybe Jia Cong and the emperor had anticipated this situation.
"What about Zheng'er, the Shi brothers, and Ruhai?"
"I don't know for sure, but I think our brothers are there to protect us!"
The old lady nodded, "Then I'll trouble you!"
Afterwards, everyone followed Zhao Xiaoliu and his personal guards towards the phoenix sedan chair in front. As for the women of other mansions, the old lady had no time to take care of them at this moment. There were not many people on her side, so it was okay to barely protect her family. If there were too many people, it would probably cause trouble.
Upon learning that the women of the Jia family were coming, the Queen immediately asked Lady Jia and Yuanyang to get on the phoenix sedan chair, and the Wang family and others had to follow outside.
"I, the old lady, greet the queen!"
"No need to be so polite, old Lord. Let's just wait for news here!"
Grandmother Jia nodded, and then stayed beside the Queen. At this moment, the dozens of guards outside made them feel more at ease. Besides, apart from waiting for news, they could not provide any help to the front.
