Chapter 279 Two emperors contend for the throne

Zhou Kang did not understand what Wan Xin meant, but as the imperial guard, he must obey the orders of the person holding the token. Although this person was a woman, the orderly style of training of a soldier made him not look down on Wan Xin.

Just as the sound of panic was gradually heard outside, Zhou Kang was already a little anxious. He asked uneasy, "Mr., it's already chaos outside. It is estimated that the second prince has broken through the guards of the palace gate. If we don't take action, what should the second prince do to hurt the concubines in the harem?"

Wan Xin smiled without saying a word, and did not respond to Zhou Kang. Seeing that Wan Xin was not speaking, Zhou Kang sighed heavily and kept paced in the room, his face becoming more and more anxious. He didn't know if he believed Wan Xin was right. The women in the harem were His Majesty's concubines. If something really happened, he would not be able to bear it.

Just when Zhou Kang could not help but snatch the door and ran out, an imperial guard who was on duty came from outside. He looked at Wan Xin and wanted to speak, but hesitated.

Zhou Kang said without thinking, "It doesn't matter if you have something to say, there is no outsider here. Talking..."

Because of his anxiety just now, Zhou Kang's attitude was a little impatient. The guard who came in to report was startled by Zhou Kang's reaction, but he immediately regained his expression, "Report to General Zhou, the second prince suddenly brought a group of non-in-law people into the palace. Each of them had extraordinary skills and had now entered the palace gate. The soldiers guarding the palace gate said that these people were all from the world, and they all had martial arts."

"I already know this..." After Zhou Kang finished speaking, he glanced at Wan Xin meaningfully.

Seeing that Zhou Kang had already known about this, the guard continued, "There is another thing. Shortly after the second prince entered the palace, the fourth prince actually led his troops to arrive."

"What?" Zhou Kang suddenly widened his eyes, "Fourth Prince? How could he get the news so quickly?"

"I don't know, but the fourth prince entered the palace gate under the banner of capturing rebels. The troops led by him were just guards of the Fourth Prince's Palace. But looking at these guards, they were all martial arts masters." Sweat beads began to emerge from the guards' foreheads. The complex situation now was simply incredible.

When Wan Xin heard the guards report, he smiled like Yu'er taking the bait, "Captain Zhou, don't act rashly. Since the Fourth Prince is willing to come forward to deal with this trouble, why don't we beauties?"

Zhou Kang frowned and looked at Wan Xin, "Did you have expected all this? It's all in your plan?"

Wan Xin smiled and said, "Captain Zhou really looks up to me. The second prince leads his troops. I think the remaining imperial guards in the palace are not his opponents."

Zhou Kang did not argue with this. He could probably estimate the number of people in the second prince after hearing the movement just now. Now he has joined the fourth prince. Moreover, the fourth prince is not clear whether the fourth prince is an enemy or a friend. How many princes are holding the banner of clearing the emperor and actually committing rebellion. If it is really a rebellion... Zhou Kang couldn't help but shudder. He looked at Wan Xin like a monster. Even if Wan Xin was General Shen Qiang's sister, he still couldn't believe that this woman had such complicated thoughts.

Seeing that Zhou Kang didn't say anything, Wan Xin asked the guard who had just spoken, "What is the number of people brought by the Fourth Prince compared to the Second Prince?"

The guards didn't know who Wan Xin was, but when they saw Zhou Kang treat him very well, they replied respectfully, "It's comparable to the second prince's people, and it can be said that they are equal."

Wan Xin sneered, "So according to you, who is better than the two of them?"

The guard replied in a difficult situation, "This should be equal... If you really fight to the end, the fourth prince may have a greater chance of winning."

Wan Xin then turned around and said to Chen Qiang, "Did you hear it? Don't you think these things are a bit strange? Let's not talk about how the Fourth Prince rushed to the palace so quickly, why did the troops he brought happen to be stronger than the Second Prince?"

Zhou Kang didn't think of what Wan Xin thought. He just felt that these conspiracies were too terrible. The princes who appeared to be kind had already had the intention of rebellion. But he also admired Wan Xin even more, "When will we take action? Or just watch the fire from the other side of the river?"

"You go and observe them secretly. If it is half the loss, come and notify us." Wan Xin ordered the guards. After the guards got the order, he glanced at Zhou Kang.

Zhou Kang said impatiently, "See what I do. Xiliang County Lord asked you to go, just go quickly. I have delayed the opportunity for you!"

The guard was ordered to run out quickly. Although Zhou Kang had already secretly admired Wan Xin's point in his heart, his inner worries were still not resolved. Wan Xin looked at Zhou Kang's appearance and knew that he had a problem and was embarrassed to ask, "If you have any doubts, you might as well say them. It may be very uncomfortable to hold them in your stomach."

Seeing that Wan Xin had seen through his thoughts, Zhou Kang scratched his head embarrassedly, "I do have doubts..."

"Oh? Leader Zhou felt that even if the second prince and the fourth prince had lost half of their manpower, we are still no match for them?" Wan Xin looked at Zhou Kang and said slowly.

Zhou Kang was shocked again. Can Chen Wanxin be able to read the mind? Why can he even see what he thinks clearly?

Seeing that Zhou Kang did not refute, Wan Xin continued, "Our troops are indeed not their opponents, and we don't know if they will join forces at that time, but this is our best opportunity. If we miss this opportunity, then we are not going to protect the palace. Now, Chief Zhou may not be able to understand it, but please believe me."

Wan Xin's eyes looked straight at Zhou Kang. Zhou Kang had never seen such a crystal clear eyes, which were slightly clearer than a newborn baby. Under Wan Xin's direct gaze, Zhou Kang's dark cheeks appeared with a hint of blush that was not easy to be discovered. Zhou Kang coughed awkwardly, "I must believe in the decision of the county lord. The imperial guards here are all based on the order of the county lord."

Wanxin knew that although this sounded like a simple word, it was a military order from a soldier. Wanxin looked at the guards in the room gratefully, "I, Chen Wanxin, thank you for your trust in me. I promise you that we will not let our actions fail."

The other guards had doubts about Wan Xin before, but because the generals unconditionally trusted the woman, they had no complaints or dissatisfaction.

Everyone said in unison, "Trust the county monarch and swear to guard the palace."

As soon as the words fell, the guard who had just run out to observe secretly had returned, and nodded anxiously to Zhou Kang, "The second prince and the fourth prince are now fighting hard. The concubines in the harem all knew about this and hid, except..."

"Except, Concubine Wanxian..."

The guard nodded, "That's right, Concubine Wanxian actually walked out of the harem and faced the second prince..."

Wan Xin knew that this was the most important step for Concubine Wanxian. It seemed extremely dangerous, but in fact it would be more beneficial than disadvantages to her. Wan Xin nodded to Zhou Kang and said two words concisely, "Start."
