During the Great Yan Dynasty, in the year 960 of the Gregorian calendar, September 1st was the National Day.

It's sunny.

This is the 96th grand celebration held by the Dayan Dynasty since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

As the sun rises, the pedestrians on the street become more and more lively.

No one knew what happened at the Sheriff's Department at midnight last night.

Because at this time, all the officials of the Public Security Department were under the strict control of the city defense army, and they were cautious in their words and deeds every time they sent out a transmission note.

The instruction conveyed from the Public Security Bureau is that the security team must cooperate unconditionally and fully assist the city defense army in patrolling and 'protecting' order in the city.

At this point, the Public Security Department has become a puppet!

General Qin's Mansion.

In the hall, a middle-aged man with a burly build and a resolute face sat in the main seat.

"You said there were a large number of city defense troops on the streets?"

The middle-aged man's voice was loud and powerful, and his words and deeds exuded an iron-blooded power that was full of oppression.

This man is none other than the most important general of the Great Yan Dynasty, Qin Xiong!

His dazzling eyes stared at the four men dressed as lieutenants standing next to him.

Qin Yu also looked solemn at this moment, standing at the back and listening quietly.

"General Qi, not only that, several city gates were also closed by the city defense army this morning, prohibiting all personnel from entering or exiting."

The bearded lieutenant standing at the head said calmly.

"It seems that my guess was correct. The city defense army used their official position to completely blockade the Imperial City."

Qin Xiong frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "As a result, our 100,000 border troops stationed outside will not be able to enter the city immediately to provide support even if there is an emergency in the city!"

"General, the current momentum is very obvious to those bastards in the city defense army. How about I send out a signal and let the brothers come to the city and be ready at any time."

The bearded lieutenant suggested with a fierce expression.

Qin Xiong stretched out his palm and said calmly: "Don't worry, if we attack the city now, we will most likely fall into the trap and even be accused of mutiny and rebellion."

"In that case, wouldn't it allow the city defense army, which has been eyeing the city for a long time, to find a reason to launch a mutiny more openly."

Hearing this, the four lieutenants looked slightly stern, and immediately shouted in unison: "The general is wise!"

"According to past practice, if the city defense army wants to intervene in the maintenance of public security in the city, they need not only military orders, but also the emperor's personal order before they can be fully implemented."

Qin Xiong's eyes were as bright as fire and he asked in a deep voice: "Can there be any news from Ma Yu of the Public Security Department?"

The bearded deputy general shook his head and said: "No, the men we sent were also stopped halfway."

Hearing these words, Qin Xiong's eyes flashed with a chill.

The development of the situation was just as he had guessed before, approaching step by step.

However, even so, Qin Xiong could not stop it.

In this situation, it's not that he is incompetent, but that the person behind the opponent's camp is the son of King Yan.

If the eldest prince did not betray openly, he would threaten King Yan and endanger the foundation of the entire dynasty.

Even the great general Qin Xiong could not openly confront the eldest prince.

Otherwise, it is the following fault.

Therefore, Qin Xiong must wait.

And this is also the strategy that the eldest prince Yan Peng expected.

He knew very well that as long as there was no real rebellion, Qin Xiong could not do anything to him.

And at that time, once the action is taken, the situation will be fully controlled by the forces of the eldest prince's camp.

"Dad, are we proceeding as planned?"

Qin Yu stood up and asked solemnly.

At this time, he changed from his usual carefree attitude, and his rigorous and calm expression was quite resembling a general's style.

"Well, Your Majesty is protected secretly by the Ming Pavilion organization, so nothing will happen to you."

Qin Xiong said calmly: "Then... let's go."

After the voice fell, everyone walked out of the hall.

The three hundred elites who had been waiting in the compound immediately followed them towards the gate of Qin Mansion.

These people are all elites carefully selected from the border army in the town.

Everyone's eyes were shining with a chilling air!

…

The central square is backed by the east wall of the palace.

This is the largest square in the Imperial City, and even in the entire Great Yan Dynasty.

The vast area is enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

The streets on both sides are wide and narrow, and the floors are all paved with green granite. They are flat and strong and can be used for military parades of tens of thousands of soldiers.

On every celebration day, the central square is the designated place for events and is very lively.

The east wall of the palace is set as a huge high platform.

Only high-ranking officials and ministers of the court, as well as princes and nobles were eligible to enter the venue, and then witness the arrival of King Yan in person to preside over the celebration ceremony.

At this time, there was already a sea of ​​people around the square, and there were many citizens arriving one after another on the streets on both sides, forming a long queue.

Such terrifying popularity and loud voices!

On the high platform of the imperial city, many nobles, celebrities and court officials gathered at this time.

However, when these people went out early in the morning and saw the city defense troops appearing on the street, they more or less knew some hidden secrets.

They are now standing on the high platform, most of them have worried eyes, which is completely different from the ordinary people in the square below who are immersed in a happy atmosphere.

At this time, Qin Xiong strode onto the high platform with his head held high, guided by the palace maids.

Having served as a general all year round, he had a majestic aura that made the guards and maids below lower their heads slightly, not daring to look at him.

As for Qin Yu and the four lieutenants, they disappeared without a trace after entering the palace and secretly carried out operations according to the plan.

"General Qin is here."

Seeing Qin Xiong's arrival, the eyes of the court officials, celebrities and nobles suddenly lit up.

For a while, they gathered around and said some complimentary words.

"Everyone, today is the celebration day of our Great Yan Dynasty. Past events went smoothly, and today is the same."

Qin Xiong waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

The meaning behind his words was undoubtedly clear to everyone, and it was as if they had taken reassurance at the moment.

Throughout the ages, the Qin family's general mansion has not only made great achievements, but the most important thing is its loyal ministers and good generals.

As long as he is around, and the 100,000 border troops stationed outside the imperial capital, it feels like any matter, no matter how big it is, can be calmed down.

"Brother Qin, long time no see, you are still as majestic as before."

At this time, a hearty laughter sounded.

But he saw that it was a middle-aged man wearing black brocade clothes, with long black hair, and he looked a little bohemian.

Behind him, Gu Yunle followed closely like a good boy.

Obviously, this middle-aged man in black robe is his father, Gu Lie.

As Gu Lie approached, the high-ranking officials and nobles who had originally gathered around Qin Xiong felt slightly awestruck, and then dispersed with awe in their faces.

As we all know, the Gu family is the most powerful Guwu family in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Its power is located in the territory of the northern border of the dynasty, which is so vast that it is like a country within a country.

Although the Gu clan's territory was under the jurisdiction of the Great Yan Dynasty as shown on the map, it was completely out of control more than three hundred years ago.

Because the descendants of the Gu family are outstanding in every generation, and even more than three hundred years ago, there was a clan member who transcended the Nine Realms and reached the terrifying level of the Holy Realm.

There are those strong men of the Gu clan who are in charge of the territory. Even though the kings of the Great Yan Dynasty were ambitious, they never mobilized their troops to truly control the Gu clan's territory.

"Brother Gu, I didn't expect you to come here to participate in the celebration. Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Seeing Gu Lie approaching, Qin Xiong's resolute face suddenly showed a smile.

Immediately, he strode forward and hugged Gu Lie directly.

The relationship between the two seems to be very shallow.

"I know you have been busy with military affairs recently. Even if I informed you in advance, you would never have time to entertain me."

Gu Lie smiled meaningfully and said, "When you finish your work today, we won't stop until we get drunk."
