After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

Xiao Xuan looked at his brother in front of him in disbelief, anger welling up from the bottom of his heart. The brother who grew up together had completely changed into a different person.

Power, if one is deeply trapped in the vortex of power, will indeed change a person beyond recognition.

"Xiao Shen, are you crazy? Our father is our father! You killed your father and usurped the throne. Your words are not right and your royal family, civil and military officials, and people all over the world will not submit to you!" Xiao Xuan said.

These words suddenly made the calm man furious. He held a sharp sword in his hand and pointed it at his relative's chest. "I didn't kill the king or the father! I just asked my father to change the imperial edict and pass the throne to me."

The dim lights of the Changxin Palace flashed by, and the sword was reflected in the light like a poisonous snake, spitting out its tongue anxiously, trying to grab the prey in front of it. "As for you, my good brother, you can go and accompany your two concubines!"

"You murdered the crown prince in the palace, do you think you can get out alive?"

"Ha, you are so naive. Why is the palace so empty? Don't you think about it? It seems that I overestimated you." Xiao Shen sighed with a smile, "Shangguan Ling has already surrounded the forbidden city with elite soldiers who are familiar with the terrain. Killing you is as easy as taking something from a bag."

Shangguan Ling, the commander of the emperor's personal guards and the number one man of the 8,000-strong battalion, actually turned against his allies!

Hearing this, Xiao Xuan's mind worked rapidly. He did not see a single eunuch when he entered the Forbidden Palace. The last line of security in the imperial palace has always been the responsibility of the East Factory.

Chen Liang...

Chen Liang is not here! ?

Xiao Xuan had already made up his mind, and sneered, "I don't need the throne, since you want it so much, I'll give it to you. After all, we are all descendants of the Xiao family, and I am happy to be free."

He decided not to hide his weariness for government affairs any more, and his eyes turned from indifferent to fierce, "Who will be the crown prince is still up to father to decide!"

Xiao Shen suddenly laughed out loud, revealing a sense of revenge. "Choice? Do you think I will let my father have a second choice besides me? Come, let me send you off!"

After saying that, he swung his sword down and stabbed Xiao Xuan straight in the chest.

Over the past few years, Xiao Xuan has never relaxed his martial arts training. He had long sensed his brother's murderous intent and narrowly avoided his sword. As he did not bring a sword with him, Xiao Xuan gritted his teeth and could only fight hard. Just as he was about to make a move, the tightly closed palace gate burst open.

Elite soldiers in disguise poured in like a tide, and the leader was Xie Tan, who was supposed to be far away in Yecheng!

"I am too late to save you!" Xie Tan said.

Hearing the sound, the emperor sitting on the dragon bed turned his head with all his strength and stared at the brave and fierce young man.

He had white hair and silver armor, and stood tall. He had the chilling aura of a mighty army. The emperor said, "Xiao...Tan."

At such a young age, he already holds power in his own hands. His general of the Zhenjun Army, his son...

The emperor was very pleased.

Xiao Xuan nodded, "Father, this is the general I mentioned to you. You gave him the imperial surname."

"You?! Aren't you in the Northern Territory now?!" Xiao Shen was shocked. This person was indeed Xie Tan.

"Shouldn't Your Highness be providing support in Yecheng right now?" Xie Tan said briefly.

There was no reinforcement at all. The conspiracy was exposed. Xiao Shen colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty. He seized the throne in Yunjing. Yu took the reinforcements that the court was going to support Yecheng and controlled the north of Yecheng and radiated to Yunjing.

Xiao Shen hated his father so much. When did he find out that his father was planning a rebellion? !

He actually recalled the general of the Zhenjun Army quietly!

How many people did he bring with him?

Did Yecheng fall? !

Where is Shangguan Ling?

Countless questions filled Xiao Shen's heart. His whole soul was in turmoil. Rebellion was a great crime. If he became a dragon, the history books would be rewritten by him. If he failed, he would have no choice but to die...

Xiao Shen gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice: "Father...when did you doubt your son? Or have you never believed in me?"

"Second Prince, it's too early to make a plea now!" Suddenly, Shangguan Ling came in with a haughty voice, followed by rows of guards holding their scabbards. "General Xiao Tan, the generals guarding the border are not allowed to enter the capital without an imperial edict. Those who violate the edict shall be put to death. Why don't you admit your guilt?!"

Xie Tan looked at him with a sinister look in his eyes, and asked, "How did the governor think I could get into the Forbidden Palace?"

Shangguan Ling was unsure whether Xie Tan's reputation in the northern border had any effect, and whispered something to the general beside him.

Xie Tan whispered quickly in Xiao Xuan's ear: "I will hold them off for a while, Your Highness, try to take His Majesty out. There are Northern Border troops stationed in the Purple Bamboo Forest outside the West Palace Gate."

Xiao Xuan looked at Xie Tan, and at this moment it seemed as if he had returned to the time when they had fought side by side against the enemy. Xiao Xuan felt his blood boiling in his chest. Before he could shake his head, Xie Tan beside him was like a flash of lightning, holding a sword and stabbing at Shangguan Ling at an incredible speed. That sword was filled with the essence of his life's martial arts.

The sword came too suddenly, and Shangguan Ling was obviously unprepared. However, with his many years of battlefield experience, he instinctively turned his body to the side and staggered back a few steps.

Xie Tan's sword took an unconventional approach, twisted his wrist and stabbed Shangguan Ling in the face.

However, the soldier on the side used his body as a shield to block the old thief Shangguan.

Xiao Xuan had too many questions in his mind, but now was not the time to reminisce about the past. He would definitely not abandon his brothers who had fought together on the battlefield. Xie Tan had already saved him once, and he had never had the chance to repay him.

Xiao Xuan drew the sword that Xie Tan brought, and his body flew up like a bat. His sword moved steadily and pierced Shangguan Ling's heart.

However, a soldier on the side pounced suddenly and the sword lost its aim. Shangguan Ling had retreated behind the armored formation. He smiled coldly and shouted, "Shoot!"

In a flash, Xie Tan stood in front of the emperor and Xiao Xuan without hesitation, and the guards beside him quickly lined up in a row.

Xie Tan's tone was resolute and relieved. "Your Highness, I didn't come here expecting to go back alive. With me as a shield, I will lead Your Majesty and Your Highness to fight their way out! If I fail to leave the palace at 10:00 p.m., the Northern Border Army stationed outside Yunjing City will rush in to help!"

Without Song Nihuan, after learning about the palace coup, he came with the determination to die.

Seeing that it was too late, Xie Tan swung his sword as fast as a dragon, leaving no room for the archers, and shocked the front row of archers away.
