The capital seemed to be in a festive mood, but in reality, a storm was brewing in the dark.
The Empress Dowager had gathered all the power she could gather in Jingdou to wait for Xiang Yu to return. Then, with Xiang Yu's great victory, she would change the dynasty.
"He's here! He's here!"
Cries of alarm rang out. On the plains far away from the capital, the sound of horses galloping in unison rang out. It was deafening and even stirred up waves of dust.
In the distance, the army of the Northern Territory finally appeared. The leader of the army was Xiang Yu.
In front of the army, an armored figure gradually appeared.
With the Overlord Spear in his hand, he looked mighty and extraordinary. His entire body was actually terrifying, making it difficult for many people to breathe.
On the walls of Jingdou, the Empress Dowager sat behind a beaded curtain. She looked at the approaching Xiang Yu with excitement in her eyes.
"As expected of the Northern General, you have a magnificent aura!”
After the empress dowager finished speaking, she looked at Emperor Tantai Yue beside her.
Tantai Yue smiled but did not say anything.
Finally, Xiang Yu arrived at the foot of the city wall. He lifted his halberd and looked at the Empress Dowager and Li Shimin. He then dismounted.
"Greetings, Your Majesty and Empress Dowager!”
Xiang Yu cupped his hands and bowed. Northern Qi advocated martial arts, so men had gold on their knees and did not kneel down. Unlike Nanliang, which had many rules, they had to kneel down when they saw high officials and nobles.
No one noticed Xiang Yu's unusual behavior. He had first worshipped the Emperor before the Empress Dowager. It was just that no one noticed it. Even if they did, they probably wouldn't take it to heart.
Because the Emperor was the person who controlled Northern Qi the most. Perhaps in front of so many people, Xiang Yu wanted to give the Emperor face.
After a simple ceremony, Xiang Yu arrived at the palace.
"General Xiang, today is the first time you've met this Queen, right?”
"In this battle, General Xiang Yu has displayed the might of Northern Qi and even become number one in the world. It has really boosted morale.”
The empress dowager praised.
Xiangyu stood up and pretended to be respectful.
"Thank you Empress Dowager. If it wasn't for Empress Dowager's favor, this general wouldn't be where I am today.”
It was really difficult for the proud Xiangyu to say such words. However, Xiang Yu was willing because he did not want Lin Tian's plan to be ruined because of his arrogance.
After a few simple words, the empress dowager got to the point.
"Now that everything is ready, it's time for the plan to begin.”
The Empress Dowager coldly said and then instructed Meng Yi.
"Meng Yi, mobilize 30,000 Imperial Army soldiers to surround the Imperial City.”
Then, he looked at Xiangyu.
"Xiangyu, take your 30,000 heavy cavalry and control the entire capital!”
With the order, the empress dowager finally showed her fangs.
Meng Yi and Xiangyu immediately accepted the order. However, a cold glint flashed across their eyes.
With the empress dowager's order, the entire capital was plunged into a storm.
The Imperial Palace was under martial law, and the entire Jingdou city defense was under the control of Xiang Yu's army. For a moment, many people sensed that something was about to happen in Jingdou.
Everyone was very puzzled. Wasn't today the big day for Xiang Yu to return to the court? Did something happen?
Lin Tian, who was in the Divine Martial Palace, smiled.
"As expected, the Empress Dowager can't wait any longer. Xiangyu has just returned to the capital, and she can't even be bothered to wait for a few days.”
Tantai Yue nodded and said.
"According to the Brocade Guard's intelligence, Longxi's Li Clan has also appeared in the capital. They've brought their own private army and even some martial artists with them.”
This wasn't surprising at all. Ever since the death of the late Emperor, the Li Clan of Longxi had developed wildly with the support of the Empress Dowager.
After waiting for so many years, this day was finally upon them. This was why Longxi's Li Clan was the most enthusiastic.
"Your Majesty! The empress dowager is forcing the abdication!”
Eunuch Wang rushed into the royal study and said in horror.
Although Eunuch Wang was a trustworthy person because he knew that Tantai Yue was a woman, Eunuch Wang had no idea about the recent plans.
After all, only Tantai Yue and Lan Ling 'er knew that Lin Tian was a man. Eunuch Wang did not know.
Lin Tian and Tantai Yue looked at each other, then nodded and walked out of the Divine Martial Palace.
Outside the Divine Martial Palace, a large army had gathered at the foot of the stairs.
These were all imperial guards. At this moment, they held blades in their hands and surrounded the entire Divine Martial Palace.
In the middle of the army was the Empress Dowager sitting on Feng Yi. Behind the Empress Dowager were her many officials and subordinates.
At the same time, there were also people from the Li family. At this moment, their faces were filled with excitement. After today, their Li family would be the royal family!
When they thought of this, the members of Longxi's Li Clan were extremely excited. They had been preparing for this day for more than ten years.
Now that their ambitions had completely swelled, they could no longer endure it. Today was the day to overthrow the Northern Qi royal family, and they would become the new Northern Qi royal family.
"Eunuch Xu."
The empress dowager looked at a middle-aged eunuch beside her and called out in a deep voice.
Eunuch Xu nodded and slowly stepped forward.
Lin Tian looked at her and was curious. He should be the head of the palace, the personal disciple of the legendary grandmaster, right?
At the same time, he was also an expert at the peak of Level Nine. Moreover, this person was a famous figure on the Lang Ya Expert List.
Sixth place on the Lang Ya Expert List! However, due to the appearance of Xiangyu, he was ranked seventh. However, he was still one of the top ten experts in the world and was very powerful.
