The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Huo Zhanting and the others had already turned cold, and immediately sent someone to find Gu Changqing.

The rest of the soldiers also quickly stepped forward, using their bodies as shields to block Nangong Liuming and Nangong Mingyue.

Huo Zhanting and Lu Huaizhu looked at each other, both of them looked unhappy, and then they looked directly at the team coming from a distance!

They are densely packed, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, and carrying an intimidating force that can shock everyone!

It's like a dark cloud pressing down on your head, making it hard to breathe.

At the front was a young man, holding a bow in his hand, and said nonchalantly:

"Oops? Sorry, did I shoot the wrong guy?"

Huo Zhanting looked at the man and recognized his identity at a glance. He was the second son of the Wang family, Wang Yu, and also Wang Heng’s younger brother!

And the middle-aged man in armor behind Wang Yu, isn’t he the biological father of Queen Wang, the former Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, Lord Wang, who has retired and returned to his hometown?

"Lord Wang, what do you mean?"

Huo Zhanting looked at Lord Wang and the soldiers brought by Wang Yu and others, squinting his eyes, with a hint of danger flashing in his eyes.

Just now, Wang Yu's target was probably him, but unfortunately his aim was not good and he missed, thus accidentally injuring General Nangong.

Huo Zhanting was not surprised at all. The reason why Wang Jia resigned was because he took away Wang Heng's position as the governor of the Jingji Guard.

What Huo Zhanting didn't expect was that the Wang family had actually turned around and won over the Zhenbei Army!

I think, if Wang Heng had succeeded at the beginning, the Wang family would not have gone to such trouble to abandon the Jingji Guard and expose the Zhenbei Army's trump card.

Lord Wang smiled slightly, bowed to Huo Zhanting and said:

"Prince Zhan, you are joking. The Fourth Prince is collaborating with the enemy and committing treason. He is trying to harm our Emperor. We, the Northern Zhen Army, cannot watch our Emperor being humiliated and the people of Dayong being imprisoned. Now that we are here, it is natural that we are here... to serve the Emperor."

Huo Zhanting's face turned cold and he said nothing.

Lu Huaizhu sneered and said, "I'm afraid your support for the king is fake, but your intention to rebel is real, right?"

Lord Wang smiled but said nothing, but Wang Yu smiled arrogantly and said directly:

"Who can tell whether it is a conspiracy or not? Don't you military commanders believe in whoever has the bigger fist and who you obey? Now... do you remnants of the army still want to resist?"

Wang Yu glanced at the wounded soldiers and prisoners behind Huo Zhanting with disdain.

After a day and night of fierce fighting, and dozens of days of siege, they were already exhausted.

Moreover, I thought I had won the battle, but now I didn't expect that the mantis was stalking the cicada, while the oriole was behind!

The most important thing is that this oriole is actually one of their own!

Now that they appear here like this and have shot and injured General Nangong, it doesn't look like they are here to provide support, but rather... to pick peaches!

The people from the Jingji Guards and the Shenwei Army all looked at Huo Zhanting.

If Huo Zhanting said to fight, they would not be afraid even if they died!

Huo Zhanting took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, pursed his lips, as if he was estimating something, then opened his eyes, looked at Wang Yu and others, and said:

"Since the Zhenbei Army came here to serve the king, that would be the best. Now that the Xinyi Army has been defeated, why don't General Zhou Wang and Lord Wang leave their troops outside the city and come with me to the palace to meet the king?"

When Lu Huaizhu heard what Huo Zhanting said, he pulled Huo Zhanting anxiously and said:

"If we allow them to enter the palace, won't our efforts be in vain?"

If these people enter the palace, the Eighth Prince will probably take advantage of the situation to ascend the throne immediately!

By then, all their persistence and hard work over the past few days, the sacrifices of those soldiers and the efforts of General Nangong will be in vain.

Huo Zhanting looked at Lu Huaizhu, with a hint of determination in his eyes, and said:

"We will not lose. The important thing is that our soldiers cannot fight anymore! It is foolish to point the knife at our own people unless it is necessary."

Huo Zhanting knew that what Lu Huaizhu said made sense, but they had no other choice.

Because if we fight again now, it will no longer be an attack on the enemy, but self-injury!

Moreover, when they faced Xinyi before, the ratio was 1 to 3, and they had already rested. But now if they face the Zhenbei Army, the ratio will be more than 10 to 1, and the men and horses are exhausted.

Anyway, let's delay for now.

The most important thing is that before Shen Qinglan left, he agreed on a date for his return. Now that the date has come, he believes that Shen Qinglan will come back.

As long as Shen Qinglan comes back, this civil war will not break out!

Therefore, he just needs to enter the palace and delay time.

When Wang Yu and others heard Huo Zhanting's words, they all looked at each other.

What they should do is not to waste time with Huo Zhanting and others outside the city!

It would be best if we could enter the palace without bloodshed and support the Eighth Prince to ascend the throne.

Besides...

The Queen also said that if you can avoid fighting, then don’t do it.

After all, if they had come earlier, they could have used the excuse of dealing with the Xinyi Army to kill Huo Zhanting and others on the battlefield.

Even if Huo Zhanting died, it was just that swords on the battlefield are blind and it is understandable that he accidentally missed.

But now, the Xinyi Army was completely captured by Huo Zhanting and his men, so they no longer have an excuse to fish in troubled waters.

If we still take action against Huo Zhanting at this time, it will inevitably be criticized.

When the eighth prince ascends the throne, it will not look good in the history books. It will not sound good to be accused of killing a loyal minister.

Wang Yu glanced at Lord Wang and whispered, "Father, let's just follow him into the palace. As long as the Eighth Prince ascends the throne, we can find any excuse to kill him!"

"As long as the Zhenbei Army is here, we don't have to worry about Huo Zhanting playing any tricks. Just let General Zhou Wang wait here."

Upon hearing this, Lord Wang and Zhou Wang thought it made sense and nodded slightly in agreement.

However, to be on the safe side, Wang Yu still brought a team of about a hundred people and ordered Huo Zhanting to go alone.

Lu Huaizhu wanted to follow, but Huo Zhanting shook his head, pulled Lu Huaizhu and whispered:

"You stay and pick up Lan'er."

Lu Huaizhu's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately without moving forward.

Before Huo Zhanting left, he glanced at Gu Changqing who was rescuing General Nangong, then looked at Nangong Mingyue who was standing beside him with red eyes. He sighed, clenched his fists, and walked away slowly.

in the palace.

When the Queen learned that Wang Yu and his companions had arrived, a hint of joy appeared in her eyes, and she immediately welcomed them all in.

When she saw Huo Zhanting, the smile on the queen's face paused slightly, and she immediately realized that there was something wrong with her plan.

But soon, she returned to her original state and just held Lord Wang's hand and said:

"Father, you are finally here!"

Lord Wang now looked worried and asked, "How is your Majesty?"

The Queen sighed and shook her head, while the Eighth Prince beside her had red eyes and said with tears in his voice:

"My father was still in a coma, and the traitor Ye Zhili actually led the enemy army into the palace late at night, intending to force my father to write an edict of succession!"

"The emperor refused, and Ye Zhili poisoned him, causing him to fall into a coma."

The Queen sighed, nodded and said, "Fortunately, the Eighth Prince led his troops to the scene in time and killed the traitor. Unfortunately, the Emperor only left a message to pass the throne to the Eighth Prince, and then he fell into a coma."

Upon hearing this, Lord Wang looked deeply saddened and severely criticized the Fourth Prince for being talentless, immoral, cruel and ruthless.

At this moment, a palace servant suddenly ran over in a hurry, then knelt on the ground, and said to the queen and others with a sad face:

"The Queen is in trouble! His Majesty... His Majesty has passed away!"
