Chapter 1161 - 266: Rebellion
Everyone thought that Mo Heng would kill Xiao Guangzhao first, but he made no move, directly avoiding the concealed guards to join his personal soldiers and lead the uprising.
Without finding legitimate reasons or excuses, he simply declared a rebellion! He was truly intent on rebelling!
The troops led by him knew that Xiao Guangzhao originally had no chance of ascending the throne, it was because he held Pei Qin hostage, and their general supported him to ascend to the throne for his wife and child. But Xiao Guangzhao, having used their general, now sought to kill General Pei; their general was next to be targeted!
General Pei, a legendary deity general of her generation. Their general was even better in deploying troops, exquisitely precise, truly unparalleled. Thus, some of the more impulsive soldiers immediately shouted, "The Emperor’s role rotates, this year it comes to my house! General Mo and General Pei have contributed greatly, saving Great Chu, why can’t they also become the Emperor!"
"Right! Our general should be the Emperor! General Pei should be the Empress!"
Once this was said, the soldiers grew even more passionate, their young general was a prodigy, entirely competent to be an Emperor! With General Pei as the Empress, the two of them ruling together would surely bring peace and prosperity, a thriving nation and strong populace! Those who followed their general would be the founding contributors!
The citizens outside on the streets quickly cleared the way as Xiao Yong led his troops directly into the palace gates.
The commandant of the Imperial Guards, Shi Jian, seeing troops from outside the city entering as well, immediately cursed Xue Chen. He was the Commander of the Five-City Soldiers and Horses Troop, responsible for the defense of Capital Jingcheng with twenty thousand troops under his command, yet a few thousand had breached the city!?
