Reborn from the Ashes: Miss Fifth Devil

After running wildly for an hour, Dongfang Chen finally met the reinforcement team that came after seeing the distress signal.

The reinforcing general left some people to escort Dongfang Chen to Yancheng, and led the others to continue advancing to meet the defenders trapped in Xiling City.

After running wildly all night, when Dongfang Chen arrived at Yancheng, it was already broad daylight.

Knocking on the city gate, Dongfang Chen entered the city and quickly wrote a decree. After writing it, he looked at it, gritted his teeth, quickly rubbed it off, wrote another one, and then ordered in a cold voice: "Send my decree immediately.

In the capital, ask people to arrest the traitor Yun Shangren, Lin Qishan and Ning Guogong’s family immediately, and keep them under close guard, awaiting my order.”

Then, Dongfang Chen wrote several more decrees in succession, handed them to the people around him, and ordered: "Go to the north, east and southwest borders to convey my decree, and ask the generals from the Yun family, Bai family and Lin family to each lead two thousand troops.

, immediately set off to come here for reinforcements. If they don't arrive within a month, it will be regarded as rebellion. I immediately ordered the execution of their nine tribes."

This is the reason why Dongfang Chen ignored the first decree just now. He originally wanted to kill the Yun family, Lin family and Bai family immediately, but when he thought of the generals of the three families guarding the border, he changed his mind.

"Your Majesty, I am really curious as to what good terms Dongfang Xu promised Yun Jingxi, Lin Qishan and Bai Ruoxi, so that the three of them would defect to him regardless of the safety of their own families." A general said harshly.

Hearing this, Dongfang Chen's face suddenly darkened. The people around him betrayed him, which not only caused him heavy losses, but also showed that he was not as good as Dongfang Xu. This was undoubtedly a loud slap in the face for him.

"What conditions could it be? King Xu must have used some despicable means to threaten Lin Qishan and Bai Ruoxi." Someone saw that Dongfang Chen's face was not good, and glared at the reckless general, and said quickly.

"..." Dongfang Chen looked coldly, looked around at everyone coldly, and then said in a deep voice: "Send the order, strictly guard Yancheng, and don't allow the rebels to take advantage of it again."

"Yes." Everyone bowed and responded.

"Everyone, please exit." Dongfang Chen waved his hand coldly.

Everyone retreated quietly. Dongfang Chen looked at the backs of these generals, and a suspicion emerged uncontrollably in his mind: whether any of these generals had surrendered. Dongfang Xu, like Lin Qishan and Bai Ruoxi, was also waiting for the right time to give him

One blow.

It seems that he must have people monitor them to determine their loyalty.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Chen called for a personal guard and assigned the task of monitoring all the generals in his ear.

At noon, the team that went to respond and the remaining defenders of Xiling City finally returned.

Just as Dongfang Chen had predicted, out of the 50,000 horses in Xiling City, less than 5,000 came back.

Dongfang Chen was so angry that he threw everything on the desk.

However, three days later, Dongfang Chen didn't even have the energy to give birth.

News came from the capital that Commander Qi of the Imperial Guards in the capital rebelled with more than a dozen civil and military officials and took control of the entire capital and the palace.

In other words, did Lin Qishan and Dongfang Chen rebel because they knew their families would be fine, or were they afraid that Dongfang Xu would kill their family members?

Compared to the first reason, Dongfang Chen hoped for the second reason, so that he would feel better.

"Your Majesty, the plan for now is to return to the capital as soon as possible and put down the rebellion. The capital must not be lost," a counselor said anxiously.
