    The King of Longxi came prepared.

    Gao Yan has been outside the Great Wall for a long time, and these courtiers have only heard of his reputation, but have never truly understood his power. Many people have forgotten that this man has the courage and means to scare the Tatars.

    Gao Yan’s army quickly crossed the moat and broke through the Guangding Gate, the first line of defense in the capital. The inner city could not be attacked for a long time. Xiao Fangye was not a vegetarian. He knew that now only the dragging formula had a glimmer of hope.

    After all, no matter how powerful Gaoyan is, the people and horses from Longxi to the capital will definitely be exhausted. As long as he holds on and waits for reinforcements from Taiyuan to arrive, it is still unclear who will win.

    The eight palace gates in the inner city are all guarded by Xiao Fangye’s own cronies.

    In the capital, everyone who was related to the Gao family, including the families of Gao Yan’s two concubines, was put under house arrest by Xiao Fangye.

    Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness, even if this marriage was given by him personally, the minister of Dali Temple and the Minister of Household Affairs are loyal to him, but who can guarantee that they have not secretly had different intentions.

    Otherwise, he had not received any news about such a big movement in Gaoyan before.

    But I never thought that it was still a hundred miles apart.

    Ten days after the King of Longxi attacked the city, Chongding Gate took the initiative to open the city gate and welcome the Longxi army in without even using a single soldier.

    The general guarding the Chongding Gate was one of the soldiers who followed Xiao Fangye back then. Now, his usually brother-in-law deputy general stabbed him in the heart with a sword.

    Although the lieutenant general comes from a wealthy family, he does not have the bad habits of the children of these noble families in Beijing. The general has known him for three or four years and regards him as his confidant.

    The general died unable to believe that he had betrayed him.

    Gao Yan didn’t believe it either.

    I’m afraid this is Xiao Fangye’s trap.

    The lieutenant general, who was only in his twenties, stood on the city gate, holding a torch high and said to the outside of the city: “It is said that the King of Longxi is very brave and wise. He must imitate that rat. My surname is Shao.”

    Before the King of Longxi could say anything, the man dressed as a deputy general behind him had his eyes red, and he murmured, “Brother.”

    Gao Yan turned his head and glanced at the man who lightly tightened the reins. The army no longer hesitated and rushed into the city like a broken bamboo.


    Xiao Fangye knew that the situation was over.

    This Jingqian Palace was completely destroyed by fire four years ago, and he asked the craftsmen to rebuild it according to the prototypes of the previous dynasty. Now he is the only one in the empty palace.

    When Gao Yan came in, Xiao Fangye was sitting on the Luan Hall, with a smile on his face and said: “You’re here.”

    In fact, the two of them didn’t have much in common. Xiao Fangye was nearly twenty years older than Gao Yan. Looking at his life, he had gone from a neglected concubine to a great treasure in the world. Although he was now a prisoner, it was not a life lived in vain.

    Compared with he, Gaoyan is much smoother, and even the world belongs to he.

    Gao Yan didn’t want to talk to him anymore, so he strode over, put a knife on Xiao Fangye’s neck, looked at the dazed petite general below the steps and said, “Your Highness.”

    Xiao Fangye didn’t know why, but after all, he didn’t care much about these trivial matters: “Winning is king or losing is bandit. I am willing to accept defeat. There is only one thing I don’t know yet. I hope the general will clear it up before I die. If the general has the intention to aspire to the throne, why didn’t you…”

    The head rolled down from the hall, right at Hua Jin’s feet. The little woman used to be most afraid of this, but now she did not avoid it.
