ly said, “In the Ministry of Punishment's prison, there are a group of members from the White Lotus Sect. Your task is to go and release them. Just carry out a jailbreak. Where they go after they come...Chapter 1028: Major Uprising in the Capital Region

Li Chen laughed and said, "To marry you is a blessing to this palace."

Su Jinpa looked up at Li Chen, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Up until now, she felt like she was just being pushed along by circumstances.

Deep down, she wasn't ready to get married.

Li Chen did not look into her eyes, nor did he indulge in excessive romantic sentiment.

"Someone's here."

Li Chen said faintly, "Protecting the Empress and the Crown Princess, but if there is any mishap, you all present will be held responsible. You will all be exterminated."

After finishing his words, Li Chen flicked his robe sleeve and strode directly towards the Temple of Heaven in his wedding attire.

As he walked, a large number of soldiers appeared out of nowhere in the seemingly deserted Taimiao.

Each of these soldiers carried, in addition to their standard-issue longswords, a black burning staff on their back. A bulging pouch hung at their waist, the contents of which were unknown to all.

The figure behind him flashed like a ghost, it was San Bao, arriving to protect Li Chen closely.

On the roof of a distant palace, a woman in white robes, adorned with a palace insignia and wielding a sword across her knees, sat engrossed in a book. Her gaze was fixed intently on the pages, following the twists and turns of a tale within. Though absorbed in the story, she seemed ready to strike with lightning speed at any disturbance, her blade a silent testament to her vigilance.

Meanwhile, in the Jingji region, troops stationed throughout the area suddenly became restless.

There are highly targeted mobile strikes, and the start of controlling major roads, restricting personnel movement. More importantly, a state of readiness has been entered, prepared to deploy at any time.

The three official roads from the Dongshan prefecture into the Jing-gi region are being entered by the local garrison forces, who aim to use these roads to enter the Jing-gi.

But another army blocked them on the official road.

"This general is Yuan Jiashan, the Commander of Dongshan Capital Commandant's Office. What are the unit designations and names of the commanders of the troops ahead Why have they blocked the official road"

A burly general appeared before the ranks, riding his horse and asking loudly.

Soon, one man stepped forward, looking at Yuanjiashan with indifference and saying: “This general, Hu Shifan from Liaodong!”

Liaodong Army

Yuan Jiashan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this number.

Today, the Qin Empire has very few capable troops, and the Liao Dong army definitely holds a prominent position among them.

And as for Hu Shifan, both in terms of prestige and seniority, he far surpassed him.

When Hu Shifan was a general, he was still a fresh recruit.

Yuan Jiashan gritted his teeth and said, "General Hu, I, the commander of the Dongshan Commandery, have been ordered to lead troops into the Jingji region to assist in the defense. Please allow us passage."

Hu Shifan let out a cold snort and said, "The Dusi is a local military system. The imperial court has never set a precedent for deploying local troops into the vicinity of Beijing. You say you're acting on orders, whose orders are you following And what are you coordinating defenses against"

Speaking of this, Hu Shifan suddenly became fierce and rebuked: "With such a large-scale mobilization of local troops, without a imperial decree or tiger talisman, it is treason. Yuan Jiashan, if you want to die, just do so yourself. You also drag those tens of thousands of innocent brothers behind you to die"

This statement put tremendous psychological pressure on the local army in Dongshan.

Yuan JiaShan gritted his teeth, sweat beading on his forehead, his heart a jumbled mess.

And similar situations are playing out in other places.

The closer to the Jingji region, the fiercer the struggle, and this confrontation becomes all the more apparent.

In the command post tent of the South River Province's Garrison Commander, Xi Shan province governor Zhao Shanhe sat with his personal guards, sipping tea and smiling at the grim-faced Commander Chen Baoguo. "Commander Chen," he said cheerfully, "Have some tea. Don't look so glum! People might think we two aren't getting along. Rumors would fly again."Chapter 956: Prince Slaughter
