Chapter 186: The Fresh Dynasty EmbassyChapter 53 Better to Reverse It

The East Palace gate was wide open. Li Chen mounted his horse personally and, under the escort of Su Zhen's father and son, a group of three, accompanied by a squad of Jinyiwei guards, rode out of the East Palace and headed straight for the north gate of the capital city.

But just as Li Chen led his men out of the Eastern Palace, at this moment in the North Camp of the Imperial Guard, Liu Bin was bearing a tremendous amount of pressure.

"Deputy Commander, we're at a point where we have to make a move. There's no backing out now."

A trusted subordinate, the chief commander, bowed to Liu Bin and said: “Who could have expected that the Crown Prince would react so quickly and with such ruthlessness Most hateful of all is that eunuch San Bao, who wholeheartedly aided the Crown Prince, leaving us no opportunity to make a move.”

"Actually, after Zhao Ze You was taken away by the Dongchang, we should have started acting immediately."

Liubing, dressed in the uniform of a deputy commander, gritted his teeth and said, "How could I not know these principles It's just that our power is far from being able to control the Imperial Guard. Just Zhao Jianye is watching us closely, it was he who forced us to this point!"

"If he hadn't withheld our military pay, not even paying the stipends for fallen soldiers, I wouldn't have dared to think about robbing the treasury. Now that things have gone so wrong, it's too late to say anything. There's only one way left: to go all the way."

"Speaking of this, Liu Binchen said solemnly: 'Now we are all in the same boat. According to military rules, anyone who dispatches a force of more than thirty without orders will be killed without mercy, and a force of more than one hundred will be charged with treason. Now we have sealed off the entire Beidaiying camp with eight thousand people. This is a capital crime that will lead to the extermination of our families. Have you all thought about the consequences'"

Before that, the acting commander's expression flickered as he said, "Why don't we directly lead eight thousand brothers out of Beidaying and take the road through Nan Zhili to enter the Jin province The terrain there is treacherous with rugged mountains and harsh waters. What's more, in this current age, bandits are rampant everywhere. At worst, we can seize the mountaintop and become the king of the mountain. Considering the corrupt state of the court today, with internal strife, external threats, and years of natural disasters, in a few years, perhaps our brothers could even assist the deputy commander to achieve great things."

As soon as these words left his mouth, Liu Bin's expression changed drastically.

He glared fiercely at the commissar who was speaking, his voice harsh: "What are you saying! This is a capital crime of treason, and you dare speak it!"

Then the commander bowed respectfully and said seriously, "Deputy Commander, we have already put our heads on our belts. Are you going to have all eight thousand of our brothers surrender with their hands tied and go to their deaths"

Liu Bin's heart pounded wildly, his expression flickering with uncertainty.

"Deputy Commander,"

The commanding officer stepped closer and said, "The victor takes all. A hundred years ago, during the Chenqiao Incident, Zhao's family was able to seize power in yellow robes. Why can't General Liu try it now"

Just when Liu Bin was caught between two difficult choices and was in great turmoil, there was a commotion outside the tent. A soldier came to report, "Deputy Commander, the Crown Prince and...and General Su have arrived together!"

As soon as these words were uttered, the stifling atmosphere within the tent was instantly thrown into disarray.

The fact that it was the prince alone was already shocking, but with General Su by his side, they struck fear into the hearts of all.

After the Imperial God of War, anyone in the military would know what this identity represents.

"Commander-in-Chief, with the Crown Prince here to investigate this matter, why not just capture him We could then hold him hostage and use his authority to command all the feudal lords!" The chief commander said excitedly.

Liu Bincheng glared at him fiercely and said angrily, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll chop you up immediately!"

"Everyone wait, follow me out to greet... General Su!"

His words did not mention the prince, but his attitude was already apparent.bsolutely cannot die!At this very moment, as if Li Chen and Sanbao shared a telepathic connection, Sanbao suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty!"This exclamation from the Emperor, his voice choked with sorrow...
