Four Seas

If he wanted to injure the Crown Prince under heavy protection, he could only take him by surprise. Unfortunately, this method could only be used once.
Sensing the killing intent in Rong Yan’s eyes, the Crown Prince took a step back After taking a step back, he felt that he could not admit defeat, so he said fiercely, “You’re of the same lineage as Father. It’s difficult for you to achieve anything by being obsessed with women!”
Rong Yan would not be mocked honestly. “I like Xiaoxiao, so it doesn’t conflict with me doing serious business. I already had her in my heart when I repelled Xiongnu. Do you see that I was still killing the enemy?
The Crown Prince was rendered speechless by him. He heard Rong Yan say, “Even if you deliberately colluded with the Xiongnu people to delay the delivery of rations and even gave them the topographic map.”
This time, it was the Emperor’s turn to be shocked. He knew that his Crown Prince was a little useless, but he did not expect him to do such a treacherous thing besides being useless.
If it were another time and place, the Crown Prince might still be afraid of the Emperor. Now that he had already rebelled, what was there to be afraid of?
“That’s because you’re lucky, but good luck won’t follow you forever!”
“For example, today, you are all prisoners and lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
I am the one who will win in the end!”
Xiao Ran looked at the distant sky and said with a smile, “That might not be the
case.”
The sound of hooves and battle cries were approaching. Prime Minister Yan and the Crown Prince looked relieved. The two of them looked into the hall smugly.
“Not necessarily?”
“Tens of thousands of troops, silver, treasures and half of the officials’ submission. Who do you think in the Imperial Capital is our match?
“Xiao Ran, even if your prestige in the army is invincible, distant water cannot extinguish a nearby fire. Can the total number of people in your General’s Residence exceed a thousand?”
“Even if your Xiao Family’s guards are all skilled in martial arts, you have to save the emperor and resist my Yan Family. Unless a surprise army descends from the sky, you can just wait to collect their corpses!
The difference in the outcome was so obvious, but Xiao Ran did not panic at all. Prime Minister Yan and the Crown Prince were surprised when they suddenly realized that something was wrong with the group of people approaching them.
Xiao Ran smiled and said, “I’m indeed law-abiding, unlike the Yan Family, Zhao Family, Sun Family, and Zuo Family, who secretly keep private soldiers. There are only about a hundred people in the residence, but do you know how many people are in the Great Wall Cargo?
Prime Minister Yan and the Crown Prince were shocked.
That’s right, the people who came forward were the disabled people from the Great Wall Cargo who more or less had terrifying old injuries!
Xiao Ran slammed the spear on the ground heavily. A firework jumped out of the hall from her hand and exploded with a bang.
“You guys have made a thousand mistakes. You shouldn’t underestimate these brothers.”
“Although they have long left the battlefield and the army, they have never let go of their responsibility to protect their country.
“When Great Xia is fine, they are ordinary Great Wall Cargo couriers. However, once there are rebels, no matter who the other party is, as long as His Majesty gives the order—”
“Kill!”
The familiar fireworks of the Xiao Family’s army ignited the flames in the hearts of the retired soldiers of the Great Wall Cargo.
The general did not give up on them, the Imperial Court did not betray them, and His Majesty did not forget them. Then, they would forever be Great Xia’s soldiers!
“Kill!”
“Save His Majesty!”

Four hours later, the rebel officials led by Prime Minister Yan were tied up by the imperial guards led by Han Qing and thrown in front of the Emperor. “Your Majesty, the ministers who initiated the palace mutiny with the Yan Family have all been arrested.”
“More than 20,000 rebels have also been captured and are waiting for His
Majesty’s judgment.”
Prime Minister Yan and the Crown Prince looked at Han Qing in disbelief.
“You’re actually fine? How can you be fine?
Han Qing rolled his eyes. “There are more than 10,000 pieces of ironware and so much gold, silver, and jewelry. Can a few hundred of us move them?” “In order to complete His Majesty’s instructions as soon as possible, I’ll borrow people from General Xiao. Great Wall Cargo. Mission must be achieved. Have you heard of it?”
“Although Prime Minister Yan thinks highly of me and sent a lot of people, the number of people on both sides is about the same. How can your group of weak people be a match for the Great Wall Brothers who have gone through a round of life and death?”
“Today, a group of brothers happened to be transporting goods back from the border city. There are quite a number of them. Everyone is familiar with military operations. After a little calculation, we beat your motley crew until they wet their pants!”
He actually… lost here?
Prime Minister Yan and the Crown Prince’s faces were ashen.
Of course, they knew the cargo transport Xiao Ran had created, but they didn’t care about a group of crippled soldiers at all. They only felt that Xiao Ran was trying to gain popularity. Those people were only earning some money to survive. Who would have thought that they would become their failure?
Even though the mutiny in the palace had started suddenly, the preparations they had made over the years were not a joke. How did they fall?
Actually, although Han Qing said it casually, the process of breaking out was actually quite dangerous. No one expected the Yan Family to suddenly attack. They even brought a portion of the imperial guards with them.
They had to protect their things and the commoners from being affected. They could not help but be restrained. The other party was ruthless and did not have any scruples. Compared to them, Han Qing’s side was at a disadvantage.
At the critical moment, a team of masked men suddenly appeared. These people’s movements and techniques were not exquisite, nor could they tell how powerful their martial arts were. The weapons they held were only shovels. They did not kill enemies bravely, but they threw out a large handful of all kinds of powder, choking the rebels until they could not open their eyes and panicked. They took the opportunity to rush up and finish them off. Only then did they win.
He smelled the powder later and realized that it was chili, pepper, sand, flour, and so on. When he wanted to thank her, he realized that the people who had come to help earlier were gone again.
He thought about it carefully and felt that it might be because the commoners who did not like the rebels or the Yan Family had spontaneously helped. However, he was afraid of being hated by the influential people, so he did not investigate further and did not mention it in public.
Coincidentally, when those kind-hearted citizens scattered the powder, the wind direction was very helpful. They did not accidentally hurt their own people at all. It was all spread to the opposite side. The heavens really had eyes. A dangerous rebellion was finally suppressed. The Emperor did not sleep the entire night. His hand that was holding the brush and approving the memorandum was trembling the next day.
On one hand, she was tired, and on the other hand, she was angry.
He was angry at these rotten old officials for not thinking clearly. He was angry at them for being afraid of death and greedy for power. He was also angry at his stupid eldest son for growing up with a pig brain.
He was angry that the Crown Prince even asked sarcastically when he went to see him, “Now, I can give up my seat to your precious Noble Consort Ji’s son. Are you happy?”
The Emperor looked at him in silence for a long time before leaving.
The moment the crisis of the palace mutiny was resolved, Xiaoxiao heard the system notification.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the SSS-level hidden mission- Peace in the Four Seas.]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1000,000 points. Your space level has increased to level 100. Your space has been updated.]
Xiaoxiao tried to call out again and realized that there was no response from the space. However, it was very humane. Although there was no intelligent response, all its functions could still be used normally..
