Outside, the guard captain Hou Ying confronted Eunuch He and Shen Qingzhi. After thinking for a long time, he said:

"Both of you, since you are not a comrade of the anti-thief Jieyuan, why should you embarrass me? I was only ordered to protect His Majesty's safety. Is this wrong?"

Eunuch He said: "Where is Shi Ji? Let him come to see me!"

"Commander Shi and his men rushed to put down the rebellion. The winner has probably been decided by now. If you don't believe it, you can go and find out. It's true that Xie Yuan kidnapped the eunuch who was delivering the order and started a rebellion."

Shen Qingzhi's eyes were as wide as copper bells. He couldn't believe that Xie Yuan would do such a thing.

But then I thought about how stubborn Xie Yuan is. She will definitely do what she decides to do.

If she just wanted to stand up for those who died and go against the entire court, it might be possible to do such a thing...

"You...you..." Shen Qingzhi became more and more frightened as he thought about it. He pointed at Hou Ying and stammered. He turned around and walked out, surely ready to see for himself what was going on.

But as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by Hou Ying's people. Shen Qingzhi turned around suddenly and said angrily:

"You still say you are not rebelling? Why do you stop me?!"

Hou Ying narrowed his eyes, but his tone was polite and said:

"Shen Guozhu, Commander Shi's order is that he is afraid that you and Xie Yuanli will cooperate with each other. Therefore, I would like to ask you two to wait a little longer and wait until everything has settled before we talk."

"Wait until the dust settles?!" Shen Qingzhi suddenly panicked. If Xie Yuan was besieged and died in battle, then whatever they said afterwards would be whatever they said. Wouldn't it be too late?

Shen Qingzhi's eyes flashed, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he suddenly raised his hand to strike out.

Suddenly, more imperial guards poured in from the distant courtyard gate, but each one of them came in backwards, with swords in hand and full of vigilance, as if they were forced to retreat by someone.

Everyone looked towards the courtyard gate together.

I saw a group of soldiers wearing city defense battalion standard armor appearing at the door, and then a man came forward from behind.

The man was holding a long sword and was wearing the standard armor of a hussar general. He was covered in blood like a god of death. He said coldly to the imperial guards who were blocking the road:

"The traitor Shi Ji has been executed. If you don't want to die, just get out of the way!"

Who is it if it’s not Xie Yuan?

When the imperial guards heard this, they became more and more panicked and kept retreating. After a while, they entered the middle of the courtyard.

Shen Qingzhi was overjoyed, took two steps back, away from the imperial guards beside him, and shouted:

"Yuan'er! Is Shi Ji really rebelling?! Well done!"

When Hou Ying saw that Xie Yuan had led his men to attack the entrance of the harem, his face turned pale with fear.

He never expected this outcome.

He didn't want to die yet, so he drew his sword to defend himself, but he knew that he couldn't be beaten no matter what, so he didn't dare to fight like that.

In the end, he could only draw his sword and gathered with his friends, watching in panic as Xie Yuan approached step by step.

Xie Yuan entered the front hall door and glanced at her master Shen Qingzhi. Seeing the joy and pride on his face, she blinked a little guiltily.

But her guilt and guilt only lasted for a moment. When she turned her attention to Hou Ying and others, she returned to her resolute and cold expression and said:

"I said, if you don't want to die, get out of the way. If you insist on going your own way and working with Shi Ji, you will be killed without mercy!"

Hou Ying looked at Xie Yuan's handsome face.

The face was obviously very childish, with an obvious youthful air, and even a bit of feminine air, but a pair of red and phoenix eyes were astonishingly powerful, revealing unquestionable confidence and coldness.

Especially with the blood stains all over her body, no one would doubt her ability, and no one would doubt her words. She thought it was a bluff.

The nervous Hou Ying rolled his throat and swallowed the non-existent saliva.

Just when the patience in Xie Yuan's eyes was about to run out, Hou Ying dropped his weapon, and all the imperial guards in the hall dropped their weapons and stepped aside.

Sun Tian drove people to control the situation in the courtyard.

At this time, Eunuch He, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked:

"General Xie... His Majesty has issued an order to remove your military power. How did you... lead the city defense battalion into the city?"

His tone was kind, but the question betrayed his suspicion.

Shen Qingzhi quickly came to Xie Yuan's rescue and said:

"Hey, father-in-law...it is urgent to obey the authority. Is it possible that we should just watch Shi Ji rebel and let Xie Yuan do nothing?"

Eunuch He looked a little impatient and said dissatisfiedly:

"Don't interrupt. I will naturally find out what the matter is."

At this time, Xie Yuan put the long sword into its sheath, turned around and said coldly:

"No need to check, I was the one who made the first move. It was I who went to Ma Guogong's mansion with my own soldiers first, trying to control his son Ma Shuo and force the imperial guards to open the city gate. But Shi Ji came and killed Ma Shuo There was internal strife between Ma Guogong and Shi Ji. I took advantage of the chaos and led people to escape from the siege. Taking advantage of the slow response of the imperial army, I captured the west city gate and let the city defense battalion in. Now the palace city is under my control."

When Xie Yuan said these words, his tone was extremely calm, as if he was reporting his combat situation to his superiors.

But Shen Qingzhi and Eunuch He were both dumbfounded, and the hall suddenly became quiet for a long time...

"Yuan'er... what do you mean by this?" Shen Qingzhi's big eyes were confused and his tone was loose, as if he didn't know Xie Yuan very well.

Xie Yuan blinked, looked at him sideways and said:

"Master, do you still remember our discussion about traitors and loyal ministers? Since this court cannot tolerate loyal ministers... A Yuan, you can only be a traitor."

Father Shen's whole body was shaken, and he looked at Xie Yuan in horror, speechless.

When Eunuch He heard this, he frowned, pointed at Xie Yuan and said angrily:

"Xie Yuan! You... don't forget who gave you today?! You are a girl. If the late Emperor hadn't been magnanimous and cherished your talents, how would you have had the opportunity to stand in this court? You would have gone back to embroidery! No...your head has long been moved because of the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

As soon as Eunuch He said these words, everyone was shocked, as if they didn't believe their ears, they all looked at Xie Yuan.

Everyone saw Xie Yuan standing upright, wearing the armor of a hussar general, with one hand on his sword. He looked majestic and more heroic than anyone else. How could he look like a little girl?

Girl?!!! How is that possible? Did you hear it wrong...

The soldiers following Xie Yuan were especially shocked. They knew how capable and capable Xie Yuan was, so they didn't believe this.

Suddenly many people were in a panic. Regardless of the order of dignity, everyone pointed at Eunuch He and cursed:

"Eunuch! What the hell are you talking about!"

"You eggless slave, are you jealous of our generals?!"

"You're a fucking girl!"

"You can even say such nonsense!"

Eunuch He was horrified when he saw everyone scolding him so arrogantly...

Even if Shi Ji, the commander of the Forbidden Army, was here, he would not dare to scold him like this. These people were all led wild by Xie Yuan...

He was so angry that he was trembling all over. He pointed at Xie Yuan and the people behind her and said:

"Contempt the imperial power, despise the court...rebellious thieves! A group of rebel thieves!"
