Chapter 538 - 517 First Update
"Charge——" The streets of Zheng Capital were swarmed with Wen Family Army soldiers, causing the terrified locals to hide away, with flags, buckets, and wooden frames knocked over everywhere, creating a chaotic mess.
Old Master Wen Kang took the lead on horseback and had already arrived at the doorway of Chenyuan Hall, with a continuous stream of Wen Family Army soldiers following behind him, smoothly taking over the other palaces within the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Forest Guards stationed inside Chenyuan Hall did not retreat an inch and formed human walls in front of Chenyuan Hall, preventing Old Master Wen Kang and the Wen Family Army from entering.
"Wei Qu, are you trying to throw an egg against a rock? Listen to the noise behind me—it’s the irresistible trend of events. Consider the lives of your family and your future prosperity," Old Master Wen Kang was not in a hurry; as more and more troops gathered behind him, his confidence grew. Now when he spoke, it was just a matter of speaking—whether Wei Qu would recognize the situation was no longer important to him.
"Old Master Wen Kang, the Former Emperor’s body is not yet cold, and you are already raising troops in rebellion—are you not afraid of divine retribution?" Wei Qu bellowed, with the guards by his side standing even straighter, showing no sign of fear.
Old Master Wen Kang sneered, anticipating such a response, while a trusted aide quietly stepped forward behind him.
"Marquis, our men have already surrounded the entire Imperial Palace. Outside Zheng Capital, General Wen Sheng has arrived and is stationed outside the South City Gate, and Wen Qun is already heading to the North Gate."
A great weight fell off Old Master Wen Kang’s heart and settled in his stomach. Even if there was still no news from the North Border Army, it no longer mattered. It seemed that he had overestimated Zheng Congyuan—Zheng Congyuan was just a naive child who was good at strategizing on paper.
He was still too green.
