After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 404: Capture Prince Chen

Shen Chenli took a few deep breaths, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burn everything around him.

Then he lowered his eyes and looked at the group of people and asked them to stand up.

"Everyone, get up. Thank you for informing me of what happened in the capital. You don't have to run too far. I will not let these things happen. I will clear all the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the capital and give you a clean capital. You must come back then!"

When the people heard Prince Chen say this, they were extremely happy.

"Not far, not far. Let's go to another city and then wait for good news from the prince!"

They are people who have lived near the capital for most of their lives, and they don't want to leave their hometown if possible.

Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally won’t run far away.

But until then...

There were many intelligent people in the crowd. After they glanced at Prince Chen covertly, they could not hide the joy in their hearts.

By then... this person would probably be the supreme being, right?

Only when such a person sits in that position can the people feel at ease.

Only people like this can truly care about their people and benefit the people of Dasheng!

The army waved goodbye to these displaced people and continued to march towards the capital.

But this time, I felt a little heavier than before.

The emperor and the crown prince have come to this point, and they would be letting down the people who love them if they don’t pull these two down from that position!

As they continued to move forward, the palace also received news that their army would soon arrive in the capital.

However, the current emperor has long been living in luxury and decadence in his palace, and the prince who should have taken on the important task...

The court officials shook their heads sadly as they looked at the prince who was only concerned with his coronation ceremony.

What else is there to say?!

They have gone from initially having hope in this prince to watching him bring a wolf into the house. The grief in their hearts is naturally self-evident.

However, what is even more terrifying is that the prince's methods are even more ruthless than the emperor's. He secretly continues to provide elixirs to the court officials who have been forced to take elixirs in order to make them support him in the court.

Even they took the pills without knowing when, and by the time they realized something was wrong, they couldn't stop taking the pills!

And the only one who can continue to provide them with elixirs is this prince.

There were also a small number of court officials who chose to forcibly resist taking the medicine, and the prince used various excuses to stop them from attending court.

Today, the court has completely become the prince's one-man show, and no one can stop him.

Now, when they heard the news that Prince Chen had returned, they felt both surprised and afraid.

The good news is that someone can finally stop the prince from doing ridiculous things. The fear is that after Prince Chen has dealt with the prince, he will deal with them!

"Your Highness, Chen and Shen Chenli are almost at the gate of the capital. You must think of a solution quickly!"

Better not to think of it!

The prince was a little panicked at this time. He didn't understand why they were defeated even though they had sent so many troops.

Is God of War so powerful?

However, he did not think that Shen Chenli would be able to attack for sure. He still had a backup plan, waiting for him to arrive outside the capital.

"Don't worry, my lords. I have already thought of a plan and will definitely capture the rebel alive!"

Then, the prince called for the commander of the imperial guards who were responsible for protecting the safety of the capital to come.

"I order you to close the city gates immediately and protect the capital. Don't worry about the rest. You just need to assist the people of Nanliang!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Prince, do you know what you are talking about?

Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore, and Censor Guo immediately stood up and couldn't help but rebuke:

"Your Highness, how can we let those people from Nanliang interfere in Dasheng's affairs? This is like inviting a wolf into the house, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, please think twice!"

For a moment, all the court officials bowed their hands, hoping that the prince could think things through.

Although the court officials liked to attack each other no matter what, they would kill anyone they disliked, or anyone in the opposing camp.

But in this matter, even those who supported the prince did not dare to continue supporting him.

This is simply outrageous!

The prince was furious as he saw that everyone was against him, but he had to endure it.

No, he has to endure for another day. Tomorrow, he will be the emperor, and then all those who oppose him will die!

"My lords, you don't understand my good intentions! Nanliang can help us get rid of the rebels and let Dasheng have no worries. Don't you understand this? If we let Shen Chenli break in like this, our Dasheng will be finished!"

All the courtiers looked at him in silence.

Was the former Third Prince also so talkative and outrageous?

Wasn't he like this before?

I heard from some people that this prince also took the elixir?

This, this can't be true, can it?

Now, even if the court officials threatened to commit suicide, the Crown Prince, who already possessed real power, was like a madman and would not listen to their words at all, but would just do what he wanted.

In the end, the commander of the imperial guards went to defend the capital, and he brought the people of Southern Liang with him!

Shen Chenli and his men hurried and finally arrived outside the capital.

Looking at the closed gates of the capital city, one can tell that the prince is already prepared.

Shen Chenli was not in a hurry. He ordered everyone to set up camp and then sent people to the city to investigate the situation.

"The emperor might do something outrageous after taking the elixir, but the prince shouldn't do that, right?"

Until now Yu Tingwan still couldn't believe it. In her memory, the prince was a little narcissistic and a little crazy, but this shouldn't be the case?

Shen Chenli was silent for a while and then said, "I also hope he is not like this!"

No matter what, let's wait until the Swift Wind Army comes back.

The soldiers on the city wall naturally saw Shen Chenli's army, but they had no way to deal with it.

After all, they only have 50,000 imperial guards guarding the capital, which is not enough to fill the gaps in their teeth compared to these 400,000 soldiers!

The Swift Wind Army, which had just set up camp and was heading into the city, had already returned.

"My Lord and Princess!"

All the generals were sitting in the main tent. When they heard the news that they had returned, they quickly asked them to come in and report.

"how?"

The generals couldn't wait to inquire about the situation, and saw that the Swift Wind Army who went to investigate had a serious look on their faces.

“There are many more people from Nanliang in the capital, and now the people in the entire capital dare not go out.

Because the people of Nanliang arrogantly released a large number of snakes, insects, rats and ants into the city, which bit many civilians and caused the deaths of many people, there are now fewer people in the city.

There is nothing else to say. Right now, all the ministers are in the court discussing our trip to the capital!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't suppress the anger in their hearts. Allowing the people of Nanliang to be so arrogant in their capital, did they have no one left in Dasheng?

"The issue is……"

Another member of the Gale Army naturally saw their anger and added another sentence.

"Now the prince is very protective of those Nanliang people, saying that he wants to rely on the Nanliang people to take down our prince!"
