At that command, Prince Xin's Army abruptly raised their sabers and stepped forward to attack Jiang Yanchuan!
Jiang Yi'an's expression hardened, and he immediately raised his hand. "Seize them for me!!"
"A thousand taels of gold to whoever takes a rebel's head!!"
"Yes!!"
Earth-shaking roars immediately rang out above Chongyun Hall. The troops facing Prince Xin's Army swung their blades at the nearest opponents. The clash of steel erupted throughout Chongyun Hall, mingling with the frantic cries of the treasonous ministers as they scrambled out of the way. The scene descended into chaos.
Soldiers rushed to Jiang Silin and formed a human wall around him. The ground beneath his feet seemed to be the eye of the storm, with all the turmoil raging around that one patch of space. Ministers squeezed in as well, their shoves and startled cries mingling with the sounds of combat in a grating cacophony.
Jiang Silin had no time to spare for what was happening behind him. Through the layers of shifting figures, he stared straight at Jiang Yanchuan opposite him.
Something was wrong.
His brows knitted tightly.
Jiang Yanchuan's reaction was wrong!
The soldiers Jiang Yanchuan had brought were temporarily held back by Prince Jing's men and had yet to fight their way inside, but-
Jiang Yanchuan had not spoken a single word since earlier. Even Cloud-Brandishing General Zhu Qian, who stood beside him, remained perfectly composed, seemingly not the least bit worried by the situation before them.
Jiang Silin's heartbeat abruptly quickened, and his brows drew tighter.
The ministers who had followed him into the soldiers' protective ring looked in the same direction. Several quick-witted ones immediately noticed the same thing. No longer caring about dignity, they shoved aside their colleagues who had yet to catch on and pressed close behind Jiang Silin.
