The most romantic little emperor

Chapter 678 Mutiny

Li Yihuan's gaze seemed casual, but it was always on Empress Xiao and Yelu Lingxiao. So when he met Yelu Lingxiao's eyes, he felt something was wrong.

This strong sense of crisis made him wary of Xiao Fengxian who was beside Yelu Lingxiao.

During the time he was in the capital of the Liao Dynasty, Li Yihuan had been hiding in the dark, not daring to reveal his identity for fear of being killed.

If it weren't for the purpose of collecting intelligence about the Liao Kingdom for Daxia and if he hadn't happened to catch up with this hunting event, he really wouldn't have agreed to Yelu Lingxiao's request for him to protect Empress Xiao.

It was precisely this cautious character that allowed him to hide in the Blood Killing Alliance for many years and even become the third elder of the Blood Killing Alliance.

Li Yihuan felt a little worried. This hunting competition might not be so simple, but he couldn't think of where the problem might be. He could only respond to the situation as it came and be ready to withdraw at any time.

Happy times are always short. The hustle and bustle of the day gradually subsides, and night falls unknowingly.

Everyone camped in the wild, and those who were still reluctant to leave danced and sang around the campfire.

The emperor's tent was located on a high hill in the middle of the plain, and the tents of the guards, princes, nobles and ministers surrounded it, like stars surrounding the moon.

The people's tents were scattered all around. From afar, the grassland was dotted with flames, shining against the starry sky.

Suddenly, people can’t tell whether they are on earth or in the starry sky?

Yelu Lingxiao and Xiao Fengxian were talking in the big tent.

An officer under Xiao Fengxian walked in and saluted, "Sir, Yelu Xiong did not return to his own tent, but stayed in the emperor's tent."

Yelu Lingxiao looked at Xiao Fengxian and asked in a low voice, "Second brother, Yelu Xiong hasn't left His Majesty's side all day today. This is a bit abnormal!"

Xiao Fengxian pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "Could it be that he and His Majesty were testing each other, which is why he didn't strike first? Or does he and Yelu Hong have other plans?"

Yelu Lingxiao couldn't figure it out either, and kept pacing back and forth. "Second brother, this isn't a solution. I'm worried that things won't go as planned!"

Xiao Fengxian sighed and said in a deep voice, "Since neither of them is willing to take the initiative, it must be that neither of them is completely confident, and we must prepare for the worst!"

"Let's assume that Yelu Xiong wins in the end. What should we do?"

Yelu Lingxiao then said, "Your Majesty has so many guards protecting him. Logically speaking, Yelu Xiong has no chance of winning."

Xiao Fengxian interrupted him and calmly analyzed: "What if?"

"Well, you lead our Xiao family army and be ready to cover the Queen's evacuation at any time! If something unexpected really happens, I will take the Queen's token and take over the guards to deal with Yelu Xiong and the others."

Yelu Lingxiao stood up and said quickly, "Second brother, if it's really as you said, it's too dangerous for you to stay here!"

Xiao Fengxian patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Didn't I tell you? Actually, you don't have to worry about anything. This is just a fallback for the worst-case scenario."

"I don't think it will come to that. After all, their North Camp and South Camp troops cannot possibly fight against the West Camp and East Camp armies at the same time. Moreover, Your Majesty still has the Pishi Army and the Ever-Victorious Army, two guards."

Yelu Lingxiao nodded and sighed, "I hope that after this turmoil, the Liao Dynasty can unite and recover quickly!"

……

At midnight, the wind was high and the night was dark.

In the camp north of the capital, Yelu Xiu's conspiracy ended, and then a large number of soldiers in the northern camp began to be frequently transferred.

Immediately afterwards, the South Camp Army received orders and began to deploy troops and attack towards the hunting conference.

News kept coming to Xiao Fengxian.

At this moment, in addition to Yelu Lingxiao, there were many other generals of the Xiao family in Xiao Fengxian's tent, all of them in full armor.

"Great, they're finally moving."

Xiao Fengxian laughed and said, "Our Dongying army quickly entered the nearby dense forest, waiting for the order from Your Majesty."

Then he asked, "Has the West Camp army taken action?"

Yelu Lingxiao replied impatiently: "I have received a report. I don't think it is necessary. We should act immediately!"

Xiao Fengxian agreed, "You must return to the army immediately and follow me to start the operation immediately!"

Everyone responded and hurriedly left the tent.

Time passed minute by minute, the entire camp was silent, and the campfires outside the tents began to go out.

Whoosh! A signal rocket suddenly broke the silence of the night and flew into the sky.

Almost at the same time, shouts and the sound of horse hooves rolled in from the forests to the north and south of the camp. Under the moonlight, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were seen rushing towards them.

The whole camp was awakened.

Emperor Zuo of Liao hurried out of the imperial tent and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a scene like a mountain torrent rushing towards him.

Suddenly, he was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground. He pointed his finger at Yelu Xiong and asked tremblingly, "Royal brother, what is going on? Are you going to rebel?"

Yelu Xiong was not surprised. It was obvious that the scene before him was within his expectations. He did not have time to think about it and quickly asked the guards around him to gather around him.

The follower immediately fired a signal rocket into the night sky.

Emperor Liao Zuo asked his personal soldiers to escort him while he asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Yelu Xiong didn't know how to explain, so he simply didn't answer.

Immediately afterwards, a group of men in black ran out from the dense forest and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Emperor Zuo of Liao's personal army.

The imperial army fought hastily but was defeated at the first touch. More and more men in black, holding scimitars, rushed towards the hill where Emperor Liao Zuo was.

In the darkness not far away, Xiao Fengxian stared coldly at everything in front of him.

Yelu Lingxiao asked from the side: "Second brother, when do we take action?"

Xiao Fengxian said calmly, "No rush. Let them fight each other. We won't show up until Emperor Liaozuo can no longer hold on. Otherwise, with the dog emperor's cautious character, he won't hand over the military power unless it's a matter of life and death."

At this time, the army of the North Camp had already rushed into the camp tents, and many princes and ministers fled everywhere, crawling and rolling, wishing that their parents had not given them two more legs.

Emperor Zuo of Liao personally supervised the battle, but saw the guards being defeated again and again. He cursed himself for being stupid. If time could go back, he would definitely follow the advice of Empress Xiao and Yelu Lingxiao and attack Yelu Xiong and others first.

The situation was urgent, and the commander of the imperial army, Yelu Lage, immediately called on the guards to escort Emperor Liao Zuo to retreat to the east, where Xiao Fengxian's East Camp was located, hoping that they could stop the rebels.

Yelu Xiu, the leader of the Beidaying, took the lead and joined forces with Yelu Xiong.

Yelu Xiong didn't see Yelu Hong, so he frowned and asked Yelu Xiu loudly, "Why don't I see the King of the North Courtyard?"

Yelu Xiu didn't even dismount, but bowed and said, "My elder brother has personally led an army to capture Empress Xiao."

"Is there any movement in the East Camp?" Yelu Xiong asked in a deep voice.

Yelu Xiu shook his head and said loudly: "Forget about all this for now. I want to catch the dog emperor myself."

Upon hearing this, Yelu Xiong felt a little embarrassed and angry. If the emperor and the empress were captured by Yelu Hong's men, what would be left for him?

He glanced coldly at Yelu Xiu and ordered directly: "You must immediately lead the troops of the North Camp to delay the West Camp and come to the rescue. You must not make any mistakes, otherwise you will be punished according to military law."

Before he finished speaking, more than 10,000 cavalrymen of Yelu Xiong's Southern Camp rushed out of the tent and charged towards the guards of Emperor Zuo of Liao. In a blink of an eye, the cavalrymen of both sides collided with each other, and a melee was about to break out. The shouts of killing shook the earth and sky.

Seeing that the troops from the South Camp had arrived, Yelu Xiu had to give up chasing Emperor Zuo of Liao and turned around to resist the troops from the West Camp.

At this moment, Emperor Liao Zuo's personal army could not withstand the surprise attack from the Southern Camp. They fought and retreated, and finally had no place to retreat. They formed a circle to stabilize the front.
