Chapter 563

"You can arrange a small force to intercept them, but do not alert them."

Fearing that he might startle the snake, Ying Mo added another sentence.

His people had long since surrounded the entire city of Xianyang.

He would not let the incident where the black-clad men escaped from his hands happen again.

After listening to Ying Mo's words, Ying Zheng was silent for a while, then nodded toward Watching Zhang Han.

Having received Ying Zheng's decree, Watching Zhang Han immediately turned and walked toward the outside.

Prince Fusu had been following by Ying Zheng's side.

After hearing the conversation between these people, he finally knew what was happening tonight.

Tonight, Hu Hai did not appear in the bedchamber rashly.

"Father, are you really going to take action against General Wang and his family?"

Prince Fusu could not help but interject and ask.

Regarding General Wang's family, he had just heard what these people said.

Wang Ben participated in the rebellion, but Wang Jian, the old general, remained loyal to the monarch.

Ying Zheng's gaze shifted to this son of his.

Now he was his only son, and he would also be the only successor to his position.

"What is your opinion?"

Ying Zheng asked.

Since his position could only be handed over to Prince Fusu, he could only try his best to cultivate Prince Fusu into a qualified monarch.

"Father, Wang Ben rebelled rashly, which is treasonous, but perhaps you could spare his life for the sake of General Wang Jian."

Prince Fusu hesitated for a while before speaking.

Wang Ben and Wang Jian still had great reputations in the army.

If Wang Ben were rashly eliminated, it would still cause small-scale unrest.

Prince Fusu believed that in these troubled times, it was better not to stir up too much chaos.

Hearing Prince Fusu's answer, Ying Mo turned his head and glanced at him.

This younger brother of his.

Ever since five years ago, he had rarely paid him any attention.

He never expected that deep down, he would still have such an attitude of trying to smooth things over.

Sure enough, after hearing Prince Fusu's answer, a flash of disappointment crossed Ying Zheng's eyes.

"Do you know what crime Wang Ben has committed?"

"Treason."

"And what is the punishment for treason?"

"Execution of the nine clans."

Ying Zheng and Prince Fusu asked and answered.

"Wang Ben committed the crime of treason, yet you want me to spare his life."

"If this matter were to get out, wouldn't my empire be subject to such turmoil every single day?"

Ying Zheng's eyes were filled with disappointment.

"As an emperor, you must know that the entire empire is under your control."

"What does it matter how much prestige their Wang family has in the military?"

"The entire world belongs to me, to our Ying family."

Ying Zheng raised his head, his gaze staring straight into Prince Fusu's eyes.

The dominance in his tone and the sharpness in his gaze made Prince Fusu involuntarily take a step back.

Even though he and Ying Zheng were biological father and son, he had not inherited a single bit of Ying Zheng's dominance.

"It is this son's lack of consideration."

Prince Fusu said immediately.

"I do not expect you to change immediately; just follow along and watch."

Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze.

…………

The large force led by Donghuang Taiyi quickly passed through the entire city of Xianyang and reached the imperial palace.

Upon arriving at the imperial palace, they saw rows of guards patrolling the palace gate.

As soon as there was movement on their side, that row of guards immediately sensed the anomaly.

"Who goes there?"

The guards over there immediately shouted loudly, and at the same time, everyone picked up their weapons.

The raised torches illuminated half the sky, faintly revealing the figures of Donghuang Taiyi's side.

The troops behind Donghuang Taiyi did not stop at all; instead, they accelerated and charged toward the group of guards.

The sound of clattering hooves.

The group of guards realized something was wrong and immediately retreated to the side, but they could not escape the slaughtering blades.

When the entire palace gate was covered in blood, not a single guard survived.

"Get in there and surround the entire imperial palace."

Donghuang Taiyi said.

The generals following behind Donghuang Taiyi looked at each other.

They had already reached this point; there was absolutely no way to turn back.

Although they did not know the specific identity of this black-clad man, his strength was incomparably powerful.

Perhaps this black-clad man could truly lead them to obtain what they wanted.

Upon reaching the palace gate, Donghuang Taiyi raised his hand and threw something into the sky.

Starry red dots appeared in the sky.

Feng Quji, who had been observing the vicinity of the imperial palace, saw the starry red light and his eyes immediately brightened.

"The signal has come."

"Pack up, let's enter the palace quickly."

Feng Quji said, looking at Li Zhen beside him.

Li Zhen's entire face was somewhat pale; he was freezing and finding it unbearable.

Upon hearing Feng Quji's words, Li Zhen smiled stiffly.

"Then let's enter the palace quickly; it is truly too cold."

After speaking, he took the lead and walked out of the room.

……

When Donghuang Taiyi's side stormed the city gate, Ying Zheng and Ying Mo received the news immediately.

All the eunuchs along the way had been transferred away by Ying Zheng.

Therefore, Donghuang Taiyi quickly led a large army to surround Ying Zheng's bedchamber.

After surrounding the bedchamber, Donghuang Taiyi sensed something was wrong.

Why had he not seen Hu Hai's figure yet?

According to their plan, as soon as they entered the palace, Hu Hai would coordinate with them from the inside.

A flash of surprise crossed Donghuang Taiyi's eyes, but his movements were not slow.

He opened the door to the bedchamber directly and walked inside.

The Ghost was not here; no one in the entire imperial palace was his match.

Various images had already surfaced in Donghuang Taiyi's mind.

He did not expect that as soon as he opened the door to Ying Zheng's bedchamber, he would lock eyes with someone.

Ying Mo stood quietly behind Ying Zheng, looking at the black-clad man who had walked in from the door.

As soon as he saw the gaze of this black-clad man, he immediately recognized him as one of the two people who had entered the palace earlier.

Donghuang Taiyi naturally recognized the Ghost's identity as well, and his eyes immediately widened.

The Ghost?

How could he be here?
