The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 230 Surprise
Many people breathed a sigh of relief when Ji Xuan died.

"General?" Seeing that Xiao Jingtian didn't respond for a long time, Zhao Qian couldn't help calling him.

"Let's go."

Xiao Jingtian glanced at Ji Xuan's corpse on the ground, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said coldly: "Go to the front to see the situation first, and come later to bury the corpses of these brothers."

The general, who has always been as firm as a mountain, also showed a trace of fatigue at this moment.

Looking at the charred corpses, everyone was also terrified.

Out of caution, Zhao Qianwei said: "The end general will go to the front to see what's going on."

Xiao Jingtian waved his hand, "No need, there won't be any more fatal schemes."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, although they didn't know why he was so sure, but they had always believed in Xiao Jingtian unconditionally, so they didn't doubt him, cleaned up the team, and moved on.

Passing through the long and narrow curve in front of them, they arrived at the vast hinterland of the canyon under the leadership of Xiao Jingtian with a feeling of apprehension.

The scene in front of them surprised them. A group of people knelt down in the dark in Yanzhong. Based on the unknown sky, it can be estimated that there are about 3000 to [-] people.

"General!" They recognized Xiao Jingtian, their faces were first stunned, then overjoyed.

"The general is alive! That's great! We're saved!"

"General, save us, we are all being coerced!"

Xiao Jingtian got off his horse with a sullen face, and helped the soldiers at the front, "Everyone get up first, and explain what happened before and after."

The soldier was a major lieutenant, already the highest rank in the group.Seeing that Xiao Jingtian was still treating them as before, he couldn't help but moisten his eyes, and told the story.

The reason they went from the northwest to the north was the same as those who surrendered before, it was because of Luo Feng and Ji Xuan's deceit, and they wanted to complain for Xiao Jingtian.

But just a few days ago, Luo Feng and Ji Xuan announced to them that His Majesty had secretly executed Xiao Jingtian and sent someone to pretend to be Xiao Jingtian to trick them into surrendering.

Luo Feng is Xiao Jingtian's confidant, and Ji Xuan is Xiao Jingtian's best brother, so they don't doubt this.

In order to wipe out the troops sent by the empress to pretend to be Xiao Jingtian, Luo Feng ordered five thousand elite soldiers to attack at night.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingtian had already prepared, and the night attack was not successful.

Seeing that the vanguard did not come back, Ji Xuan and Luo Feng knew that the news that Xiao Jingtian was still alive could no longer be concealed, so they simply announced their plan.

Get rid of Xiao Jingtian and help Beiqi succeed.

Although some of the soldiers present were enlisted because of local forced recruitment, they have been guarding the border for so many years, and they know more or less what it means to be loyal to the emperor and love the country.

Seeing that they refused, Ji Xuan and Luo Feng told them calmly: "Now in the eyes of the court, you are already rebels, even if you surrender, you will not escape the fate of ransacking your family and exterminating your family. A way out."

The moment they stepped onto the battlefield, they had already put their lives on the knife head.You can ignore your own life, but your relatives cannot ignore it.

In this way, under the threat and coaxing of Ji Xuan and Luo Feng, they all retreated ten miles and retreated to Yu Pinggu.

Who knew that they had just entered the valley when they found someone guarding the other side of the valley.

Many of them knew that man, this man joined the army at the end of September last year, but he worked for more than half a year, because of his courage and strong martial arts, he was promoted by Xiao Jingtian as the deputy general beside him, and he trusted him very much.

This time he also returned to the imperial capital with Xiao Jingtian, and he had never heard of him going south. How could he appear behind them at this moment?

This person was Yan Mo, but what surprised them the most was that the troops following Yan Mo turned out to be the emperor's personal guards—the forbidden army!
Seeing Yan Mo, Ji Xuan's face was so dark that it couldn't be darker.He heard from Luo Feng that before Xiao Jingtian was taken away by the empress's imperial army, he arranged for Luo Feng to go to the northwest to appease the border soldiers, while Yan Mo was sent to Yuquan Mountain.

When Luo Feng came to the northwest, he told Ji Xuan that he had already made arrangements in the imperial capital, even if Yan Mo told those officers and soldiers that it would be useless, the imperial capital would definitely be in chaos.

Well, now that Yan Mo appeared here with the imperial army, and Xiao Jingtian led the army to quell the chaos, it is obvious that they have joined forces with the Empress.

There were Yan Mo and the Forbidden Army in the front, and Xiao Jingtian in the back.Under the attack from both sides, even though they had 10 horses, they couldn't stand up to the shortcomings of the terrain.

Yan Mo said coldly: "According to His Majesty's will, I know that you are going north this time because you were deceived by traitors' slander, as long as you are willing to put down your weapons and submit to Your Majesty, you are still my Daxing soldiers, Your Majesty will let the past go!"

Having said that, Yan Mo glanced at Ji Xuan and Luo Feng meaningfully.

Luo Feng sneered and said: "Brothers, don't believe him, who doesn't know that today he is a fool, and he can't distinguish between loyal and evil. This must be a way to trick you into surrendering, and then we will settle the score after the fall."

Yan Mo picked up the bright yellow scroll from the side of the saddle and unfolded it, "The imperial decree written by His Majesty has already been announced to the world. Don't you believe in the Ninth Five-Year Lord and this person who has deceived you for a long time?"

The bright yellow scroll was unrolled, the characters on it could not be seen by the soldiers who were far away, but the vermilion seal on it was very obvious.

Yan Mo rolled up the coil again, put his inner strength in his palm, and threw it out.The soldiers looked up one after another, only to see that the imperial decree passed Ji Xuan and Luo Feng, and fell into the hands of ordinary soldiers.

"Oh, will His Majesty really let the past go?"

Several soldiers scrambled to circulate the scrolls. In the end, there were more and more voices in the team to give up rebellion, but nearly half of them questioned the authenticity of the imperial decree.

"Impossible. Vice-General Yan is obviously the general's confidant. How could he bring the forbidden army here? Is there any fraud in this matter?"

"Who doesn't know that the Forbidden Army has won the trust of His Majesty, and now the power in the imperial capital is great. If Vice General Yan can lead the Forbidden Army here, how can it be false!"

"So this decree is true? Great, Your Majesty has pardoned us!"

"There is a way out, who wants to rebel!"

Seeing that the soldiers under him turned their backs one after another, Luo Feng was extremely angry, while Ji Xuan was much calmer.

"Do you think you can survive by surrendering to the Empress?" Luo Feng sneered, "Years ago Xiao Jingtian asked for additional military expenditures, and now all the supplies of the Northwest Army are in my hands. You went back there and waited for yours. There are only old moldy rice and vulnerable weapons, sooner or later you will die!"

As soon as he said this, the soldier who was shouting the loudest suddenly fell silent.

Many people served as soldiers just to support their families with a mouthful of food and a little salary that would keep them from starving to death.Now that the Northwest Army has become an empty shell, what's the point of going back?
No matter how much they admired Xiao Jingtian, they couldn't stand the helplessness of reality.

Yan Mo shifted his gaze to Luo Feng, and said calmly: "Why do you think I stopped you here?"

Luo Feng's heart skipped a beat, yes!Yan Mo went south from the imperial capital and set off later than him. How did he appear behind them?
