Chapter 109 Explosives
Chapter 109 Explosives
A bloody head rolled to the ground. Xie Xiao looked over and saw that it was Shen Xi's head.
"How did you get here so quickly?!"
Xie Xiao looked at the two men in disbelief. It was obvious that his army had surrounded the entire palace, especially the palace entrances, which were all heavily guarded. How come Xie Sui and his men broke through so quickly?
"Xie Xiao, why don't you surrender?"
"The army has surrounded your people right now. Do you think you still have a chance of winning?"
Yu Guiwan looked at him and spoke coldly, then she and Xie Sui dismounted.
Xie Sui looked around and said in a resounding voice, "Those who surrender now will not be killed!"
Some people in the crowd had already become disloyal and were hesitant about whether to surrender. For ordinary people like them, staying alive was the most important thing. Several soldiers put down their swords.
As the knife fell to the ground, Xie Xiao pulled out the sword of the man beside him and slashed at him, killing the soldier on the spot. He shouted sternly: "Traitors will be killed without mercy!"
As his voice fell, all the soldiers who wanted to surrender changed their minds.
Xie Sui nodded to Xie Xu, then looked at Xie Xiao, "Xie Xiao, do you really think we're unprepared?"
"The secret passage at the palace gate has been here for less than a quarter of an hour. Our people have arrived. Do you think you still have a chance?"
From the moment he was reborn, he had been planning how to get rid of Xie Yunqi and Xie Xiao. In his previous life, three years after A Wan's death, Xie Xiao led his troops to rebel, and Xie Xiao almost succeeded that time, but this time he had planned everything early.
If it wasn't for the purpose of luring Xie Xiao into the trap, the emperor wouldn't have deliberately summoned several important officials of the court into the palace, and then deliberately pretended that they had no backup and were forced into a desperate situation. He and the wife of Marquis Weide would lead the troops to kill them by surprise.
Xie Xiao's expression gradually turned ugly, but he still looked at Xie Xu and Xie Sui without any fear, "So what? Do you really think that I have no backup plan?" He raised an arrogant smile.
After so many years of painstaking planning, how could he act so easily without being fully prepared?
Xie Xu and Xie Sui really underestimated him.
At this time, a secret guard came to Xie Sui's side and whispered a few words into his ear. Xie Sui's face suddenly darkened, and when he looked at Xie Xiao again, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"It seems that my royal brother knows about it?" Xie Xiao looked at Xie Sui's face, and it was obvious that he had discovered the explosives he had arranged.
"I have also hidden explosives in the hall and arranged people inside in advance." His eyes flashed with smug arrogance.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Xu's expression changed.
Just now, Yongan took them all into the hall to take shelter temporarily.
Pei Jin shouted, "Oh no! The Queen and the others are still in the palace!"
"Go in and save people!"
"It's too late for you to know now. My people will detonate the explosives when the time comes, and they will have no chance of survival." Xie Xiao saw that the time was almost up, so he told them the truth. He felt extremely happy when he saw their faces one by one!
Bei Chu led a few people and rushed up quickly, not daring to waste a moment.
"Your Majesty, please leave for the time being." Pei Zhiyuan whispered to Xie Xu. Pei Zhiyuan didn't dare to gamble. If it was too late, everyone standing around would be in trouble. The most important thing right now was the safety of His Majesty.
"Time is up."
Xie Xiao curled his lips, his eyes full of anticipation.
……
A minute passed.
The explosion he imagined did not happen, and he muttered in disbelief, "How is that possible?"
Immediately afterwards, Xie Zhiyi supported the queen and walked out of the hall. A minister followed behind them. Everyone appeared in front of Xie Xiao in good condition.
Xie Zhiyi had probably heard a lot of what Xie Xiao said outside the door. Now looking at him again, he felt extremely disgusted. "Uncle, it seems that your wishful thinking has failed."
"How is it possible that you are not dead yet? How is it possible!"
Xie Xiao looked at the few people, his expression almost breaking down.
"You mean those explosives? And that soldier who's been hiding in the hall?" Xie Zhiyi tilted his head and continued, "As soon as we entered, my mother noticed something was wrong with the placement of the vases in the hall. She immediately found the soldier and the explosives, and of course I quickly dealt with them."
Xie Zhiyi said it lightly, but this was her first time killing someone personally. After killing someone, she couldn't stop retching and it took her a long time to recover.
At that time, she had no time to hesitate. If she hesitated for even a second, it would not be the soldier who would die, but them.
Xie Xiao closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He took out a flare from his sleeve and was about to fire it. Bei Chu was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He pressed the crossbow in the first moment and the arrow hit Xie Xiao's palm.
"Ahhh!"
Xie Xiao screamed in pain, and as the flare in his hand fell to the ground, Yu Guiwan quickly rushed over, swept the flare up with a sweeping kick, and successfully took it into his own hands.
"I still say the same thing, those who surrender will not be killed." Xie Sui glanced at everyone. This time the soldiers did not hesitate. The outcome was already decided, and Xie Xiao had no chance of turning things around.
Xie Xiao clutched his bleeding wound and shouted angrily, "You traitors! Traitors!"
Then he burst into laughter again, and lost to Xie Xu and Xie Sui again.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Tie him up." Bei Chu said, and immediately someone tied Xie Xiao up.
Xie Xiao looked at Xie Sui with hatred, his eyes landing on Yu Guiwan, "Xie Sui, you really married a good princess. Then I wish you two will never have a chance to meet again."
Xie Sui is so lucky. He has such a person who goes through life and death for him, but he is the only one by his side from beginning to end.
"Hahaha……"
A vicious smile broke out on his ferocious face.
"Shut up!"
Yu Guiwan slapped Xie Xiao without hesitation. The blow was so painful that blood immediately flowed from the corner of Xie Xiao's mouth. However, Xie Xiao continued to provoke him fearlessly, "What? Are you angry because of shame?"
"Xie Sui, that sickly fellow, will meet me in the underworld sooner or later!"
Yu Guiwan kicked him hard on both knees, and with a "thump", Xie Xiao immediately knelt in front of them. He tried to struggle to get up but the soldiers held his shoulders tightly and he couldn't stand up at all.
"Xie Xiao, do you still remember Chu Chaoyan?" Yu Guiwan looked at him with a smile.
How could he not remember the name 'Chu Chaoyan'? If it weren't for this woman's mischief, the power of Yunzhou wouldn't have been destroyed by that old Prime Minister Su.
"Not only that, you should know that it was me who gave you the inhumane medicine." Yu Guiwan continued.
