CHAPTER 816: CHAPTER 498: THE ARRIVAL OF ZHAO DOUAN (PART 3)

Regarding this royal gigolo, who has risen rapidly to power in just one year, creating countless legends, the generals of the Capital Camp are among those who know him best.

Because Zhao Douan was initially an obscure infantry soldier in the imperial guard. Due to the Xuanmen Coup, he was unexpectedly remembered by the Empress, and later recommended by Sun Lianying, entered the White Horse Hall, quietly biding his time for half a year, mistaken by everyone for a useless dandy.

Later, when he released Zhuang Xiaocheng, the disguise was ripped away, and he stunned everyone... His official rank soared like a rocket until he joined the Divine Mechanism Camp. Faced with doubt from countless soldiers, he silenced them with sheer force... thoroughly establishing his fame in the military.

Afterward, whether it was subduing Mr. Zhengyang, making the famous Great Scholar willingly call him "master."

Or in the East and West Buddhism Debating Scripture meeting, where his passionate speech even summoned divine intervention.

All these undoubtedly added a mysterious aura to the name.

Going out to Taicang, Hu Ting, Coastal to capture Zhuang Xiaocheng, or even venturing deeply into Jiancheng Road... In comparison, all seemed ordinary.

Such a character, how could the generals of the Five Army Camp not be familiar? Not have a strong impression?

And now, appearing suddenly before everyone is Zhao Douan, already clad with countless buffs.

"Zhao... Junior Guardian Zhao?!"

Yuan Feng, with a firm face, nearly screamed, doubting his sight, but then a greater suspicion arose within him, he couldn’t help but say, "Weren’t you protecting the Empress outside...?"

Ka—

Yuan Feng suddenly stopped speaking, his pupils enlarged, realizing something.

If the Zhao Douan who was protecting the Empress returned... then Your Majesty... and considering the Divine Mechanism Camp’s early arrival, and Shi Meng’s words "by decree"...

"Hehe, Yuan, your conjecture is correct. Your Majesty returned to the Capital the day before yesterday," Shi Meng said with a smile, "Your Majesty issued a decree, already announced to the world, proclaimed the Vassal King a traitor, and commanded us, under Junior Guardian Zhao’s lead, to suppress the rebellion. Otherwise, why do you think we arrived so quickly?"

Boom—

Another thunderous revelation exploded in everyone’s mind.

Chen Gui, smiling on the side, chimed in: "Not only that, Your Majesty and Junior Guardian Zhao turned misfortune into blessing, Your Majesty has entered the Heavenly Human realm, and Junior Guardian Zhao has also entered the Worldly Realm."

Boom—

Again, thunder rumbled in everyone’s minds.

The young master Tang Ping, in silver helm and armor, unwilling to be overlooked, puckered his lips and said: "Not only that, Li Yanfu was audacious enough to attempt a coup for power, and two imperial guard commanders also committed treason, joining him in a villainous alliance. But this group didn’t even make a splash before being executed by Your Majesty and Junior Guardian Zhao together. Ha, that’s the fate of traitors."

Boom—

Yet another thunder roared non-stop in everyone’s minds.

The successive explosive news left the people of the Five Army Camp stunned, unable to comprehend for a moment.

Struggling to digest these changes and news.

And the young master’s last words caused some generals present to sweat from their foreheads, fear swelling in their hearts.

They couldn’t help but think:

If they truly couldn’t withstand the pressure and chose to join Prince Heng, what would await them?

Fortunately... fortunately...

At this moment, many generals felt a sense of surviving a calamity, immediately filled with immense joy.

"Your Majesty... blessed with great fortune, returning to the throne today, the tide has turned!" Yuan Feng’s lips trembled, revealing a smile.

A true Heavenly Human guarding the Capital, this almost ensured the Capital wouldn’t fall due to violence.

"Does Prince Heng not know about this?" He realized.

Zhao Douan scrutinized these people, smiled and said: "Transmitting news takes time."

Indeed, if Prince Heng knew this intelligence, he would realize it was impossible to seize the Capital by force, the greatest possibility would be to quickly retreat, thereby carving out Qingzhou, planning for the future... Everyone was not stupid, they immediately understood.

Zhao Douan raised his hand slightly, suppressing the noise, and said casually: "Today, I am here precisely because before Prince Heng reacts, before his forces can escape, to completely crush this rebel army at the border. Enough idle chatter, Commander Yuan, I need to understand the current situation."

Yuan Feng’s spirit jolted, not daring to delay, quickly recounted the situation, ending with: "The opponent has attacked the camp three times, each time more fiercely than the last. My Five Army Camp is strong in battle formations, once the soldiers form ranks, in direct combat, we are invincible. But the rebel army somehow procured a bunch of battle chariots pulled by ’Tusk Beasts,’ charging through wildly, making it difficult for us to form ranks..."

Tusk Beasts... Zhao Douan pondered for a moment, didn’t comment on this issue, but suddenly asked: "You said they gave you a deadline of two hours?"

"Yes. But my Five Army Camp is loyal to Your Majesty, we will never..."

"Eh, I think this idea of surrendering to them might be worth considering." Zhao Douan smiled.
