Your Majesty, you’re under arrest - Chapter 659
Dongfang Kuo has been fighting in the battlefield all the year round. He has no lack of strategy and ambition. Moreover, he is at the critical moment of life and death and will never wait to die.
“Lord Yi, most of the generals inside and outside Hongdu city are under the control of the last general and several generals. If you arrest us at this time, it is inevitable that the soldiers will have ideas. If the situation is serious, there is a great possibility of mutiny. Don’t you just restrict our freedom of movement instead of detaining us?”
Dongfang Kuo is full of calculating eyes and looks at Xiao Yiyuan. He has a strong smile on his face, but his words are full of threats.
Xiao Yiyuan is not stupid. He will understand dongfangkuo’s threat.
His face did not change, but his lingering breath was a little lower, and his voice was still cold
“The imperial court has given you the power to control your troops, and the generals are loyal to the present emperor. Even if some people have doubts, I am confident that I can explain things clearly, so that the army will not mutiny. The old generals of the East need not have such worries!”
Obviously, I don’t want to give dongfangkuo any face.
Hearing this, Dongfang Kuo Zui Jiao couldn’t help pulling out. His smile was twisted and reluctantly. He finally realized that as soon as Xiao Yiyuan Fu arrived, he ordered to arrest him and his confidants, but he had made sufficient preparations in advance.
Thinking of the news that none of the spies he sent sent sent back, and the news that Li Wei was arrested from DIDU, Dongfang Kuo’s heart sank to the bottom.
The spies he sent must have been solved by Xiao Yiyuan’s people, and Li Wei’s crime will not be as simple as what was announced.
Perhaps their father and son’s plan to rebel and establish a new dynasty was already known by Xiao Yiyuan. The so-called inspection of the armies must be an excuse.
So
“Ha ha, Wang Ye, what you said is that you are thoughtful and very good at commanding troops. I think these little things will not be difficult for you. I will think more about them.”
Dongfang Kuo suddenly shows an exaggerated smile at Xiao Yiyuan. His words are flattery, intending to create the illusion that he has accepted his fate.
However, how could Xiao Yiyuan be so easy to fool?
He ordered people to take the five dongfangkuo to separate custody and isolate them from all contact with the outside world.
At the same time, Sima chuzhao took out two signal bombs from his sleeve and fired them towards the sky in the north and west of the city respectively.
Two flares exploded in the sky one after another. Even if it was day, you could clearly see the two colorful fireworks.
And what these two fireworks represent is the signal of action.
After receiving instructions, those who had been ordered to hide in the northern and Western armies of the city immediately took action. Before the news of dongfangkuo’s father and son and the three generals being arrested arrived, the general Zhongxiao was loyal to these five men, and all the officers above the battalion level were under control.
At the same time, Xiao Yiqi, Chen Keyong and Chen Keli led their troops to the barracks in Xicheng, while Xiao Yihuan and Lu Hua rushed to the barracks outside Beicheng.
The soldiers in these two barracks are all close relatives of dongfangkuo. If they do not cooperate properly, the threat of dongfangkuo will become a reality.
While they were in action, Xiao Yiyuan was not idle. He and Sima chuzhao jointly controlled the Tianxiong army stationed in Hongdu city.
The main generals are captured, and they have some prestige in the army. The generals who can speak a little are also under control. The rest are small shrimps and minions.
Even if you want to do something, you don’t know where to start.
It took only half a day for Xiao Yiqi and Xiao Yihuan to succeed in calming down the situation and taking over the army.
After them, the Tianxiong army, which had lost the commander of Dongfang Youhua in the city, stopped under the strong suppression and deterrence of Xiao Yiyuan, and was completely reorganized two days later.
The rebel group headed by dongfangkuo and dongfangyouhua was successfully nipped in the bud.
However, although the matter of Hongdu was over, Xiao Yiyuan did not immediately rush to Hebei city to take over the city guarded by dongfangkuo.
Sima chuzhao understood that Xiao Yiyuan’s way of doing this really gave Dongfang Youlang a chance in the city of northern Hebei.
This time, Dongfang Youlang did not take part in the rebellion between Dongfang Kuo and Dongfang Youhua, but his father and son are inseparable. Once the matter is investigated, he will be involved.
If he can take the initiative to bring the army of northern Hebei city to come back, Xiao Yiyuan will, for the sake of his past achievements and today’s righteous deeds, exempt him from his crimes, and may even prevent him from being deposed.
But Dongfang Youlang didn’t let Xiao Yiyuan down. On the second day after the Tianxiong army was successfully rectified, he led 100000 troops in the northern Hebei city to plead guilty.
In the assembly hall of the city Lord’s residence, Xiao Yiyuan talks with Dongfang Youlang alone.
Knowing that Xiao Yiyuan doesn’t intend to deal with himself, he will take the initiative to plead with the imperial court to avoid all the crimes he will suffer, Dongfang Youlang is grateful, but chooses to refuse.
“It’s loyalty that I lead the army to plead guilty. I don’t accept your kindness. It’s filial piety that I follow my father and younger brother to die. I implore you to do it!”
Dongfang Youlang kowtows to thank Xiao Yiyuan for his kindness.
The death of an old family and a young family, on the contrary, makes them useless.
His life has long been a dark haze, no longer the significance and necessity to continue to live.
Xiao Yiyuan’s expressionless face became cold and solemn because of Dong Fang You Lang’s words. He opened his mouth with a trace of anger in his tone.
“There are thousands of ways to die. If a person really wants to die, no matter how much other people do, they can’t recover it, but I won’t personally push you to death! Dongfang Youlang, I will try my best to keep you innocent. As for how to choose in the future, it’s your own business! If you are really cowardly to die, I will only think that I have saved a coward
After that, he got up and walked away, leaving Dongfang Youlang to stand still for a long time.
……
Xiao Yiyuan came out of the meeting hall. Before long, he saw Lu Hua coming in a hurry with a white dove in his arms.
“Master, I’ve heard from you.”
Lu Hua quickly approached and presented Xiao Yiyuan with the bamboo tube from the leg of the pigeon.
Xiao Yiyuan took it and quickly took out the letter paper and looked at it with ten lines of eyes.
There are only a few words in the letter, but it makes clear what you have seen in recent days.
Xiao Yiyuan’s already heavy complexion became more and more gloomy as if he could drip water, and his breath suddenly became cold and depressed. Lu Huadun, standing in front of him, felt like falling into an ice cellar.
“Lord, but what happened to Miss Xia?”
He boldly inquired carefully.
Xiao Yiyuan didn’t answer. After a long silence, he handed the letter to him.
Lu Hua was stunned for a moment. He quickly took it and read it.
When his eyes touched the contents of the letter, Lu Hua’s face suddenly became surprised, and his heart was full of doubts.
