Chapter 152 The imperial guards rebelled
"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come."
A high-ranking court scholar asked respectfully: "Should we start inspecting the military parade now?"
"Well, then... let's get started!"
King Yan's voice was a little hoarse, and he gave a simple order and said no more words.
"The military parade begins!"
Then, as the palace scholars shouted loudly, dozens of giant drums on the imperial city suddenly started beating.
Boom! Boom! Boom...!!!
The rapid and heavy drum beat suddenly exploded.
Then, at the end of the passages on both sides of the central square, there was a loud sound of horns.
The people in the field immediately stretched their necks and looked towards the passage.
This passage has been used as a special passage for military parade ceremonies throughout the ages.
Even though the place was crowded with people at this moment, no one dared to set foot there.
Not long after, the sound of neat footsteps began to be heard.
Immediately everyone saw a square formation of elite infantry first appearing in the field of vision.
Under the sun, this infantry phalanx of about three thousand people was well equipped.
The soldiers' walking postures were extremely standard.
The sound of footsteps trampling on the ground was extremely neat and shocking!
"City Defense Army!"
"This is the city defense force of our imperial capital!"
Upon seeing this, the crowd in the square began to cheer enthusiastically.
The city defense army is an army that guards the periphery of the imperial capital. Each soldier can be said to be an elite soldier selected from the army.
And in this celebration, those who can be selected for the military parade are the best among the best!
Da da da……!!!
The long infantry phalanx walked at a constant speed from the end of the square street with crisp and loud footsteps.
At the very head of the city defense army's infantry phalanx, a knight led the team.
He was wearing golden armor and riding on a horse, with a high-spirited look on his face.
The person leading the team was none other than the second prince Yan Fengjun.
Next, the Royal Guards team appeared.
The uniform black steel armor and uniform red cloak are slightly more imposing than the Guards.
The way the Royal Guards team appears is also arranged in a square format.
Each soldier held a steel sword in his hand, filled with a strong killing intent.
The first person to lead the team was the young fourth prince Yan Chen.
He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was riding straight on his horse, looking like a general returning in triumph.
As if by deliberate arrangement, Qin Yu also rode a black horse and wore the weapons of the Qin Sect's frontier army, riding side by side with Yan Chen.
Although he was the only one from the Zhenbian Army to appear as a substitute, it suddenly caused quite a sensation.
"This year, the Qin family's frontier troops also appeared!"
"Tsk, tsk, you really can't tell what you look like. That prodigal Qin Yu looks a bit like a general when he puts on this equipment!"
"It doesn't matter who's bloodline he inherited. General Qin is unparalleled in our Yan Dynasty. A tiger father has no dog son."
For a time, everyone started talking happily.
At this festive moment, no one would belittle Qin Yu anymore, most of them would be praising him.
"Hey, if dad didn't want me to accompany Yan Chen, I wouldn't want to wear this bulky armor."
Listening to the discussion in the field, Qin Yu curled his lips secretly.
However, at this time, the loud sound of horse hooves suddenly interrupted the people's discussion.
The sound of hooves is like thunder!
Everyone's attention was attracted.
Because next, it is the cavalry lineup of the Guards!
Perhaps matching the joy of the celebration, the full-body armor of the cavalry was very bright and bright.
In the sunlight, it is like being plated with gold, shining with red-gold light.
As the finale of this military parade, it was naturally led by the eldest prince Yan Peng himself.
However, some generals watching from the high platform vaguely saw something wrong.
Normally, they might not think much about it, but during this sensitive period, things are different.
Because the phalanx of the Royal Forest Army was sandwiched front and rear by the city defense army and the Guards cavalry.
In such a situation, if a mutiny were launched, the Imperial Guards would be turned into dumplings in an instant and no one would be left alive!
According to the traditional method, after the honor guard of the three armed forces circled around the central square, they saluted King Yan and accepted the inspection ceremony.
call out--!
However, when approaching the high platform of the imperial city, a cold arrow suddenly shot out from the formation of the imperial guards.
The direction that Leng's arrow shot was actually towards the King of Flame who was sitting on the dragon chair!
When everyone reacted, the arrow had already passed by King Yan's head and hit the back of the chair hard.
The shaking arrow tail vibrated in King Yan's ears, as if mocking his old age and incompetence.
Wow——!
The sudden change immediately shocked the entire audience!
"Escort! Hurry, escort!!"
Suddenly, rapid screams rang out from the high platform, and the palace guards rushed to the high platform to protect King Yan.
The old king still sat in his chair indifferently.
He glanced at the empty crown prince's seat, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
No one knew that the hands under his sleeves were trembling slightly uncontrollably!
The corners of Third Prince Yan Hongyi's lips slowly revealed a smile.
The show is about to begin.
"Fell into a trap!"
Qin Xiong stood up abruptly, his eyes like a lion's, and shot at the imperial guards.
Yan Chen's expression also turned extremely gloomy at this moment.
He had guessed many ways to rebel, but he never expected that he would dare to openly attack King Yan here!
The worst thing is that this cold arrow was actually shot from the imperial forest army he led.
And this situation undoubtedly puts the charge of regicide directly on himself.
Although the logic is not reasonable, at least it has given the forces that wanted to rebel the right to launch a mutiny!!
"You bastards, how dare the Imperial Guards assassinate Your Majesty!"
"Arrest them all immediately and find out the murderer!"
Sure enough, just as Qin Xiong expected, the eldest prince Yan Peng and the second prince Yan Fengjun immediately raised their swords and shouted harshly.
"Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!!"
Following the order, the Guards cavalry and the city defense infantry, who had been preparing for the attack, all drew out their sharp swords.
With ferocious faces, they charged towards the unprepared Imperial Guards!!
Under this kind of attack from the front and back, the Royal Forest Army was almost caught off guard, and the phalanx collapsed instantly!
"kill--!"
Of course, the Royal Forest Army would not sit still and wait for death. Under the leadership of Yan Chen and Qin Yu, they immediately rose up to resist.
For a time, a fierce battle broke out in the central square.
The rich smell of blood also began to spread in the space.
"The Imperial Guards have rebelled!"
"Today is a celebration, these damn bastards!!"
The sudden coup caused the people to scream and roar in anger!
The panicked crowd scrambled to escape from the central square.
Chapter completed!
