Chapter 561: Two People Turn Against Each Other
In this way, the guards sent by the four family heads to get reinforcements successfully escaped from the encirclement of the imperial guards with the help of Xie Liuzheng.
Ji Yuntang crossed his arms and sneered, "I'm afraid there will be something interesting to watch next."
The imperial guards killed a family head, and this feud must have created a grudge between them and the Empress Dowager Yuan!
As far as she knew, in addition to the Yuan family which had 200,000 troops, each of the four family heads had 40,000 troops under their command.
Although the number is not large when viewed individually, if these 160,000 troops were gathered together, they would be enough to deal a heavy blow to Queen Dowager Yuan, causing heavy losses to her troops.
When both sides are tired of fighting, it will be Shen Xiangming and Yuan Jiuan's turn to take the stage.
It would be much easier to deal with Empress Dowager Yuan and the people from the five major families at this time.
Xie Liuzheng slapped the guard next to him. The guard was so scared that he jumped up on the spot. He laughed loudly in the space.
He said happily: "Sister Yuntang, I have never had such a fun fight before. It's so satisfying, so satisfying!"
Who would have thought that he could hide in Ji Yuntang's space and slap people.
It felt like he was wearing an invisibility cloak and no one could see him.
Xie Liuzheng found it very interesting.
Ji Yuntang chuckled and raised his eyebrows, "Brother, this is nothing. There are more fun things to do in the evening. I guarantee that you will be able to satisfy this addiction in one go."
Xie Liuzheng was slightly delighted when he heard this, and was looking forward to the evening's fun even more.
When Empress Dowager Yuan learned that a hundred people were unable to stop a guard, she was almost furious.
"You are just a bunch of trash. There are so many of you but you can't even kill one person. What use do I have for you?!"
It would be more accurate to say that the purpose was to snatch the military token from his hand rather than to send people to kill the guards who were bringing reinforcements to the four family masters.
According to the rules of Western Shu Kingdom, all officers and soldiers in the military camp only obey the orders of the emperor, and no one else, including the empress dowager, has the right to command the army.
But if the emperor was not there or did not give the order, they would all obey the orders of the military commander.
They will obey the orders of whoever holds the military token and only recognize the token, not the person.
The heads of the four great families did not have military tokens before. Most of these military tokens were in the hands of several princes of the Western Shu Kingdom.
After they were killed by Empress Dowager Yuan, she took back all the military tokens from them and intended to hand them over to General Yuan for management.
She herself kept a tiger talisman with 350,000 troops.
Empress Dowager Yuan originally wanted to give General Yuan 300,000 troops, but the heads of the other four families were not happy.
As the heads of both families, why does General Yuan have military power while they have none?
This is not fair!
Several people took turns to come to the palace to make reports several times. Empress Dowager Yuan was annoyed by the noise. In order to calm them down, she divided the ox talisman into four parts and gave one to each of them.
Each of the four family heads received 40,000 troops, and they finally calmed down for a while.
Empress Dowager Yuan just saw several family heads handing over all their ox-shaped talismans to the guard, along with the dead head of Liu, and also handed over their military talismans to him, asking him to go out and get reinforcements for them.
Getting the four military tokens is equivalent to providing the heads of the four great families with an additional 160,000 reinforcements.
Only then did Queen Mother Yuan realize what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.
If she had known this would happen, she would never have given them military power.
She was extremely angry, but what made her even angrier was that she was suddenly slapped in the face.
With a loud "bang", Empress Dowager Yuan's face was hit to the side.
She turned her head angrily and saw that the person standing next to her was the Imperial Master. Empress Dowager Yuan slapped the Imperial Master in the face without thinking.
She thought that the other party knew that she had sent people to assassinate Cao's mother and daughter, so that's why they treated her like this.
Empress Dowager Yuan was furious. She yelled at the Imperial Master, "Jiang Yanfan, at this time, you are still leaning towards that woman, right?!"
The Imperial Master looked puzzled. He had no idea what Queen Dowager Yuan was doing all of a sudden.
Before he could ask the reason for the incident, he heard Queen Mother Yuan say again: "I just sent people to kill those women of the Jiang family. Do you feel bad about this? Do you still have me and Chao'er in your heart?"
Imperial Master: "..."
Imperial Master: "!!!"
The words of Empress Dowager Yuan were like a blow to him, causing his eyes to widen instantly.
He never expected that Queen Dowager Yuan would secretly send people to kill his wife, sons, daughters and mother.
At this moment, his heart was instantly filled with anger. He rushed forward and grabbed Empress Dowager Yuan's shoulders hard.
"What have you done with Yutong and Shixu?"
"They are just children. Why are you so cruel? Do you want to see our Jiang family die out?"
The Imperial Master didn't feel sorry for Madam Cao, he was just worried about Jiang Yutong and Jiang Shixu. No matter what, they were still his own flesh and blood.
He could cruelly abandon his wife, but he still had a little conscience towards Jiang Yutong and Jiang Shixu.
And there is Old Madam Jiang. Although the Imperial Master spoke harshly to her today, he didn't really think so in his heart.
He felt guilty towards Madam Jiang and did not want her to die at the hands of Empress Dowager Yuan.
Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Yuan became even angrier, and she was even more certain that the Imperial Master still had feelings for Madam Cao.
She pushed him away with all her strength and said deliberately: "I killed them all. What good are Cao and the two little bastards that make you so worried about them?"
The Imperial Master frowned, feeling unhappy. "No matter what, they are also the flesh and blood of my Jiang family. I can't just watch them die."
Empress Dowager Yuan sneered, "You haven't been back to see them for seventeen years, and now you care about their life and death?"
"Jiang Yanfan, Chao'er is the one who calls you dad every day. Instead of wasting time on those two little bastards, you might as well focus all your attention on Chao'er. That way, he can have a bright future."
The Imperial Master felt that Queen Mother Yuan was really unreasonable. His face turned pale. "They are not bastards. They are also my flesh and blood. They have the blood of the Jiang family flowing in their bodies."
If we talk about bastards, then Yuan Dynasty was the one that was secretly born to him and Empress Dowager Yuan.
It’s just that his status is higher than those two from the Jiang family.
What happened today made him too lazy to argue with Queen Dowager Yuan anymore. He flicked his sleeves, turned around and was about to walk out.
Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Yuan grabbed his hand and asked anxiously, "Cousin, where are you going?"
The Imperial Master snorted coldly and mercilessly shook off her hand. "I'm going to find Yutong and Shixu. If you still have the heart, don't stop me."
