I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 539 Stealing the house

At this juncture, Li Huaizhong actually broke in like this, so it goes without saying that something big must have happened.

"What's wrong?"

His heart sank suddenly, Ning Yongnian slowly turned his head to look at Li Huaizhong, even Wu Ding and Sima Cong stood still for the time being.

"emperor!"

Ignoring the astonished gazes of the crowd, the old eunuch quickly ran to Ning Yongnian's side, and whispered something hastily in Ning Yongnian's ear.

And Ning Yongnian's complexion also changed drastically within a few breaths.

From gloomy, to shock, to utter anger.

When the distorted and ferocious expression appeared on the face of the Emperor Daning, everyone felt a biting chill.

"When did this happen?"

Ning Yongnian's voice was a little hoarse due to the piercing wind.

"a quarter of an hour ago"

Li Huaizhong lowered his head, not daring to look at the former: "Your Majesty, although this incident happened suddenly, Wei Xianzhi must have planned it for a long time, and all the places in the capital fell into the hands of the Wei family before they could react."

"Where's the Praetorian Guard?"

After a pause, Ning Yongnian took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the irritability in his heart: "Send a letter to Han Zhao immediately! Tell him to guard the palace and wait for me to go back!"

"this."

Cold sweat immediately drenched his back, Li Huaizhong's appearance immediately made Ning Yongnian realize that something was wrong.

"Speak! Could it be that Han Zhao is already dead?!"

"This, this."

The Adam's apple squirmed, Li Huaizhong swallowed with difficulty, his expression was uglier than crying.

"Your Majesty, General Han, no, no, Han Zhao is not dead."

"Old, old slave has just received a message from the Guards"

"Calling, Calling Han Zhao in fact"

"Actually what?!"

"It's actually a traitor."

"."

A quarter of an hour ago, the capital of Daning.

When Zu Yu in the general office of the Xuanjing Division was burned for the third time in two years, Han Zhao got the news almost immediately.

In less than a stick of incense, the entire capital was in chaos, and fifty thousand guards gathered in the palace, waiting for his order.

"General! The people of Xuanjing Division have controlled all the gates of the Sifang city!"

"Report to the general! People from the Captain's Mansion have appeared on the west side of the palace!"

"Report!! The city preparation army is transporting heavy crossbows, stone carts, etc. to the periphery of the palace!!"

"."

The messenger soldiers ran into the main tent of the Imperial Guard one after another, as if every few breaths there would be new changes in the situation in the capital.

Along with him, there is now Daning's prince, Ning Wenjun.

"."

"General Han!"

The four-clawed python robe is not very straight, and upon closer inspection, one button was wrongly fastened.

Accompanied by a young eunuch, Ning Wenjun passed through the vast torches outside the tent in such a disheveled manner, and hurried all the way into the tense main tent of the imperial guards.

His face was ugly, but he still maintained the most basic respect for Han Zhao in his words.

"I heard that there is a lot of movement in the Wei family this time?"

"How are things going?"

"Your Highness."

Chong Ning Wenjun arched his cupped hands, and Han Zhao looked calmly: "Except for the palace, the rest of the capital has fallen into the hands of the Wei family."

"W-what?!"

The body shook for a while, and Ning Wenjun was short of breath: "Did Emperor Father already know about this?!"

"The last general has sent a message to the emperor."

Han Zhao walked up to Ning Wenjun, and said in a deep voice, "Don't panic, Your Highness. Now all the 50,000 imperial guards are in the palace, and they still have the strength to fight against the Wei family."

"Even if you are invincible, it is not difficult to defend the palace."

"As long as the ability to protect the imperial palace remains intact, no matter what plans the Wei family has, they will surely fail to succeed when the emperor rushes back from Huailing."

"Yes, what the general said makes sense."

After all, Ning Wenjun was not that kind of incompetent person, so after a short period of panic, he had recovered somewhat of his calm at this time.

He took a deep breath, nodded heavily and said:

"General Han, if this is the case, then quickly fortify the palace!"

"The general will obey."

Bowing his cupped hands, Han Zhao immediately turned his head and ordered: "Immediately pass on the deliberations to all the deputy generals in the army!"

"yes!"

The messenger led the order to run out of the tent, and the curtain was raised and then lowered.

The flames flickered in the temporary main tent, and the sound of footsteps outside the tent was chaotic.

Looking at Ning Wenjun who was frowning in front of him, Han Zhao's expression gradually became serious at this time.

"Your Highness, the situation is urgent now, and some matters will have to be asked at the end. I hope His Highness can tell me the truth."

"Ok?"

Ning Wenjun was taken aback when he heard the words: "What do you want to ask, General?"

"It's all the secret channels in the palace."

Squinting slightly, Han Zhao spoke seriously:

"Your Highness, since the last general has been ordered to command the imperial guards, he will naturally do his best to ensure that the palace is not lost."

"However, the general doesn't know the layout of all the secret channels in the palace right now, and he is worried that the Wei family will take advantage of the loopholes later."

"So I hope His Highness can inform me of all these for the time being, so that the general can make preparations in advance."

"this."

His eyes widened slightly, and Ning Wenjun obviously hesitated.

In the huge Daning Palace, there are naturally many secret channels.

Some of the secrecy levels here are not very high, and the Imperial Guards know it.

But there are also many that only a few members of the royal family can only know.

Of course, under normal circumstances, this kind of thing must not be told to Han Zhao.

After all, once the palace fell, the royal family including the queen would still need to use these secret passages to escape.

But just like what Han Zhao said, what if the Wei family also knew where these secret passages were and used them to sneak into the palace?

The incident happened so suddenly that Ning Wenjun had no time to think about it.

After only a moment, he stopped hesitating and immediately answered Han Zhao's question.

"General, there is a secret passage leading directly to Qingnian Lane outside the palace in the dry well in the backyard of Ziluan Palace, and there is also a secret passage leading to it under the desk in Shiqu Pavilion"

"."

While the flames were flickering, Ning Wenjun revealed all the arrangements made by Ning Yongnian without any concealment.

From the perspective of God, he seems a little stupid, and really lacks the vigilance that a prince should have.

But you know, even Ning Yongnian didn't doubt Han Zhao's identity, how could Ning Wenjun think that the general of the town and the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards in front of him was already a member of Wei Changtian.

"Your Highness, did you just say everything?"

Glancing at the swaying curtain, Han Zhao finally asked, "Is there anything else?"

"there is none left."

Ning Wenjun shook his head, and his eyes fell on several lieutenants who had heard the order and rushed over.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

After seeing Ning Wenjun, several lieutenants hurriedly bowed their heads in cupped fist, and then looked at Han Zhao together, waiting for the latter to make arrangements for the deployment.

However, Han Zhaofei not only did not speak, even the seriousness on his face faded away, replaced by a meaningful smile.

"General Han, you!"

Seeing this smile, Ning Wenjun immediately felt bad, his pupils constricted suddenly, and his heart seemed to stop beating.

He was about to question Han Zhao, but before he could say anything, the latter's figure suddenly disappeared in place.

"boom!!"

"Bang bang bang!!"

"what!!!"

The sudden loud explosion echoed around, and the mournful and unexpected wailing sounded one after another.

In just the blink of an eye, four unsuspecting third rank lieutenant generals vomited blood and flew out of the main tent. Two of them died on the spot, and the other two were seriously injured.

Han Zhao is a second rank late stage, and his strength is far superior to these lieutenants by a large margin.

In addition, he launched the attack suddenly and did not encounter any resistance at all, so it is not an exaggeration to achieve such a result.

"Shua!"

Amidst countless horrified gazes, Han Zhao did not stop after making an attack, but actually flashed to the side of the two lieutenants who were still alive, and added two more palms without hesitation.

"Bang! Bang!!"

The red light of the torch was fierce, and the two lieutenants who had just survived had no time to figure out what happened, so they followed the other two who died earlier and set foot on the Yellow Springs road.

And it wasn't until this moment that someone from the imperial guards outside the tent finally came to their senses.

"Han, General Han is also a traitor!!"

"quick!!"

"Protect His Royal Highness!!"

"."

After a few breaths, the latter realized that the crowd swarmed into the main tent.

However, Han Zhao and Ning Wenjun had long since disappeared.
