From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

No one would have thought that Zhou Yuan would lead fifty soldiers to fight just after returning. This is not something a scholar can do, and even soldiers may not have the courage.

Everyone was shocked and scared. They were shocked by Zhou Yuan's courage and his masculinity at the critical moment, and they were scared of what would happen if something happened to him.

Zhou Yuan still gave enough face to his mother-in-law. He half-knelt down and clasped his fists and said, "Please allow my mother-in-law. Yuan'er wants to lead fifty elite soldiers to fight from the north to help my father-in-law relieve pressure and suppress the rioters."

The atmosphere has reached this point. Chen has no reason to refuse, and Zhou Yuan has indeed given her enough face.

She quickly helped Zhou Yuan up and said in a deep voice: "Good boy! You men want to do great things, how can I, a woman, interfere? Go ahead and ensure your safety."

"Your father-in-law will be proud of you!"

Xue Changyue said: "Wait!"

He took a deep breath, looked at Mrs. Xue, and said: "Madam, go get my armor and put it on Zhou Yuan."

Mrs. Xue was shocked and said in horror: "Master, that armor has been sealed for twelve years!"

Xue Changyue grinned: "So it's time to let it breathe!"

Soon, Zhou Yuan put on the heavy armor, which was much more advanced than the stolen armor before.

The breastplate was thick, the arm guard was thin, the silver light was shining, and the cold air was pressing.

Zhou Yuan put on the iron helmet, and the whole person became extraordinary, just like an invincible general on the battlefield, and the momentum rose several levels.

Xue Ningyue exclaimed sincerely: "So domineering!"

Qu Ling was also surprised and said: "Zhou Yuan, you really look like a general."

Xue Changyue said: "Go! Fight your way out!"

"Kill!"

Zhou Yuan roared, holding his sword and ran out, followed by countless elite guards.

The group passed through the alleys and killed the mobs directly when they met them. They went all the way to the north of the city and then killed them in the southwest.

The main purpose of this move was to cut off the middle waist of the mobs and make them completely collapse in morale.

"Suppress the rebellion! Defend Yunzhou!"

Zhou Yuan roared, and fifty guards roared at the same time. The momentum was not something the mobs could resist.

Hundreds of mobs were so scared when they saw them that they didn't even dare to fight.

Zhou Yuan and others killed all the way forward, which can be said to be a whirlwind, like a broken bamboo, killing the mobs and leaving corpses all over the street, and fleeing in panic.

At this moment, Zhao Cheng in the east, with hundreds of constables and hundreds of servants, saw the mob retreating and their morale collapsed, and was also extremely confused.

But Zhao Cheng would never give up this opportunity, and immediately shouted: "Everyone, if we don't kill them now, when will we? Let's quell the rebellion together!"

With the loud shout, the constables also became more aggressive, and began to roar, holding knives and killing forward.

For a while, the scene became almost one-sided.

After another half an hour of pursuit, Zhou Yuan and Zhao Cheng's troops finally met in the center of the city.

Zhao Cheng was relieved and couldn't help laughing: "Who is the general? How can he be so brave!"

Zhou Yuan took off his helmet and said with a smile: "My father-in-law is a judge. At the critical moment, he can also organize the police to judge. It can be said to be a great achievement."

"Ah! Yuan'er!"

Zhao Cheng was confused and hurried over and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter with you?"

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly: "It's a long story, and I can't explain it clearly at the moment. Why not drive the mob out of the city first."

Zhao Cheng nodded and said: "The overall situation has been decided. I have received a pigeon letter. The Jinyiwei's reinforcements have arrived 20 miles south of Yunzhou City and will arrive in an instant."

"Let's quell the rebellion first! I will listen to you later about the origin of this outfit."

Zhao Cheng was also excited at this moment. He joined Zhou Yuanbing and headed straight south.

At this moment, in the south of Yunzhou City

Wang Ang, wearing a Feiyu suit and riding a black horse, shouted: "Remember, suppress all refugees, and kill those who dare to resist on the spot, without hesitation."

He was full of anger and went to Qingshan County to find nothing. He immediately received a pigeon letter from Yunzhou, and then he knew that something big had happened.

Jinyiwei hadn't been fooled like this for many years. This group of Wusheng followers really deserved to die!

This group of mobs deserved to die too!

So he led the cavalry back first, rushed into the city and started killing.

Anyone who had a weapon in his hand and didn't kneel down was chopped as a mob.

"Kneel down!"

"Kneel down!"

The combat effectiveness of hundreds of Tiqi was much higher than that of the mob. This was simply a massacre without suspense.

Tiqi rode past, just like cutting wheat, chopped down the mob one by one.

Zhou Yuan and others were also harvesting in the middle. This hearty suppression lasted until the evening.

The soldiers of the city defense camp finally finished pullingStomach, dare not eat, hold the torch and rush into the city.

This mob chaos that lasted for a whole day was finally suppressed.

More than a thousand mobs died, and the rest all knelt on the ground and were strictly guarded. Even if they had nothing to do with the rebellion, they would inevitably have to do hard labor for life.

The whole Yunzhou City was lit up by torches everywhere, just like daylight.

No one was allowed to stay on the street, even if there were only three walls left in the house, they had to squat inside.

And Zhou Yuan and others finally completed the task and prepared to return to Xue Mansion.

Zhao Cheng waved his hand and said: "They can go, you have to stay."

Zhou Yuan was puzzled and said: "The next aftermath has nothing to do with me, what should I stay for."

Zhao Cheng smiled and said: "At least show your face. You are using the Xue family's personal guards, it is not suitable to hide, that will easily arouse suspicion."

"Boldly take credit, the higher-ups will be much more relieved."

A group of bigwigs gathered at the Yunzhou Yamen, and the atmosphere was quite solemn.

Especially Xiong Kuohai, that smiling face of Buddha is no longer smiling at this moment, it is as cold as frost, sitting on the chair without saying a word.

Captain Xiao and Lord Wang Ang did not dare to relax, they just stood beside Xiong Kuohai with solemn faces.

Liu Liang's face was pale, obviously he had not come out of the chaos, and his mental state was a little dazed.

If it were not for the dozens of servants in his family protecting him, he would have died.

Among the people present, except for the Jinyiwei, including the Yunzhou prefect, Tongpan, the city defense camp garrison, the vanguard general, and Zhou Yuan, a total of ten people, only Zhao Cheng and Zhou Yuan looked a little relaxed.

Xiong Kuohai spoke first: "Wang Ang, tell me about the situation."

Wang Ang said quickly: "My Lords, there were more than 3,000 rioters at first, and then it increased to 20,000. Most of them have been killed, and the rest have been confined in Funing Street."

"There was no sign of this riot. Not only were we not prepared, but we were even diverted away in advance..."

"The Jinyiwei bears an unshirkable responsibility for the intelligence error."

Liu Liang smiled bitterly and said: "The lack of long-term management of Wa Lane by the Yunzhou Provincial Government is the root cause of this civil unrest. I will report such a huge loss to the governor."

Xiong Kuohai looked at the bald man next to him with a cold face, and said word by word: "Cai Heshang, 3,000 people in the Yunzhou City Defense Camp were drugged and didn't know it? How can you be the garrison of Yunzhou?"

Cai Quan was so angry that he slammed the table heavily, and didn't dare to refute anything. Although the military was not under the Jinyiwei's control, he really didn't have the face to say these words because he was so cowardly this time.

The place fell into silence.

After a long while, Xiong Kuohai said, "The Wusheng Cult is still causing chaos. They have been planning for several years in Yunzhou, so today's disaster has come."

"I will report the cause and process of the incident to the commander-in-chief, and the emperor will make the final decision."

"Everyone, do a good job of the aftermath, report to your superiors, and wait for the emperor's order."

He stood up and waved his hand, saying, "Zhou Yuan, come with me."

Zhou Yuan followed slowly with a puzzled look on his face.

After leaving the government office, Xiong Kuohai suddenly turned around and said, "You are so good, Zhou Yuan. You secretly colluded with the Wusheng Cult and exchanged letters. It is not too much to punish you for the crime of accomplice."

Now it was Zhou Yuan's turn to panic.
