Chapter 857 The Emperor’s personal army - the Twelve Xuanlong Guards!
"Father, fellow elders, I, Yin Jingyi, will live up to your trust and fight with my life to find a way out for the Yin family and for all of you."

Yin Jingyi took the key, his hands trembling slightly, and looked at his father with excitement in his eyes.

"Jingyi, now the Yin family's assets and even everything are in your hands."

"I hope you can lead the Yin family out of this dead end and towards a new life."

There was a hint of heaviness and anticipation in Yin Ting's voice.

Yin Jingyi looked at the armor and weapons in front of him, and an indescribable sense of responsibility surged in his heart.

These are not just cold weapons, but also the hard work and expectations of countless ancestors of the Yin family over hundreds of years.

Just when Yin Jingyi was still somewhat excited, Yin Ting suddenly lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes that had experienced many vicissitudes of life.

As the current head of a family of generals, he naturally understood that the Yin family alone would be like an ant trying to shake a tree and would not be able to shake the hundreds of years of foundation of the Daqian Dynasty.

This dynasty is like a sleeping beast. Once awakened, the force of its counterattack is beyond the ability of the Yin family to withstand alone.

“Jing Yi, although our Yin family has accumulated wealth for hundreds of years, it still seems too small in front of the imperial dynasty.”

"If we want to survive this storm, or even turn the tide, we must find some more allies."

Yin Ting's voice sounded a little hoarse due to the series of accidents that happened that night.

Yin Jingyi's eyes flashed when he heard this. He naturally understood what his father meant.

Now that their Yin family has launched an uprising in a hurry, it is not wise to fight alone. Only by uniting with those aristocratic families who are also dissatisfied with the royal family can they have a chance of survival.

He waited quietly for his father's next words, already having some vague guesses in his mind.

"We need to unite with those noble families who are also dissatisfied with the royal family and act together."

"Only in this way can we gather enough strength to fight against the royal family."

There was a sense of determination in Yin Ting's words.

Yin Jingyi nodded, secretly admiring his father's foresight.

"Father, which noble families can we win over?"

Yin Jingyi asked in a deep voice, with a hint of urgency in his tone. After all, time was running out and every step was related to the life and death of the Yin family.

Moreover, the allies they choose are crucial to what they want to do, otherwise one wrong step will lead to eternal damnation!

"First, it's your mother's maternal family - the Rongguo Feng family. They are a military family just like our Yin family. They even produced several famous generals in the past few generations. Their power in the military was at its peak."

"However, in order to suppress the aristocratic families and support the poor, the previous emperor repeatedly suppressed the Feng family. Even several outstanding legitimate sons of the Feng family died tragically on the battlefield because of the decisions of the royal family and the calculations of the Xuanjing Division."

"How could the Feng family easily forget this account?"

Yin Ting smiled slightly, revealing a sense of shrewdness.

Yin Jingyi's heart moved when he heard this. He had heard about the Feng family's experience and understood that this hatred was like a kind of fire. Once ignited, it would burn fiercely. For them now, with his current relationship, the Feng family was undoubtedly a target that could be won over.

"Also, although the Feng family's strength in the army has been greatly weakened, there are still many students and former officials in the army. They remember the Feng family's kindness, and once the Feng family raises the flag, they will definitely respond."

"What's more, the current Rongguogong Feng family, as compensation for the suppression of them by the royal family, now controls the emperor's personal army, the Qianfu Left and Right Guards of the Twelve Black Dragon Guards, and is responsible for the security and patrol rights of the entire dynasty."

"This power should not be underestimated."

Yin Ting paused, glanced at Yin Jingyi who seemed to be thinking about something, and continued.

The Emperor's personal army - the Twelve Xuanlong Guards, as the name suggests, is the last barrier of the Daqian royal family and even the Daqian Emperor!

Among them are Qianlong's left and right guards, Qianfu's left and right guards, Fengshi's left and right guards, Takeo's left and right guards, Chongyan's left and right guards, as well as the last Jingwei and the Qiankun Guards who are Taoist soldiers!

Among them, the Qianlong Left and Right Guards are the strongest guards among the Twelve Guards of Xuanlong in terms of strength and equipment except for the Taoist soldiers - Qiankun Guards. They are usually the real guards of the emperor, responsible for the safety of the entire imperial city and the protection of the emperor, and are usually controlled and mobilized by the emperor himself.

The left and right guards of Qianfu, which are the two guards controlled by the Feng family today, are responsible for the security patrol of the entire imperial city. Well, to put it bluntly, they are the hat uncles of the imperial city.

The two guards on the left and right were usually stationed in the imperial mausoleum not far from the imperial city. In name, they were responsible for serving the emperor when he went to offer sacrifices to heaven or inspect the territory.

However, because the strength of Qianlong's Left and Right Guards was too deeply rooted in people's hearts, the status of those serving the Left and Right Guards became very awkward. Nowadays, they are usually stationed around the imperial mausoleum and have become the imperial mausoleum garrison. It is unknown how much combat effectiveness they still retain.

The two guards of Takeo on the left and right, and the two guards of Chongyan on the left and right, behind them are the field armies among the Twelve Guards of Xuanlong that are truly capable of fighting tough battles with the enemy head-on.

They are usually stationed in various strategic checkpoints around the empire, responsible for guarding the entire imperial city.

The last ones are the Jingwei and Daobing - Qiankun Guards. There is no need to say much about the Daobing, they are the strongest trump card held by the royal family. The Jingwei are composed entirely of eunuchs and are responsible for protecting the safety of the emperor's inner court and harem.

Therefore, when Yin Jingyi heard his father say that they could win over the Feng family, who controlled the left and right guards of Qianfu, among the emperor's personal army, a hint of heat suddenly flashed in his eyes. If the Feng family could join, it would undoubtedly increase their chances of success.

"In addition to the Feng family, there is also the Liu family of Duke Hua."

"The Liu family has been engaged in business for generations and is extremely wealthy. Their trade routes are spread across every corner of the Daqian Dynasty. However, in recent years, the royal family has been wary of the Liu family and has repeatedly suppressed their trade routes and even imposed heavy taxes. In recent years, the situation has become even worse, and they have completely treated the Liu family as the royal family's private money bag."

"Although the Liu family appears to be putting up with it, they have long been dissatisfied with the royal family. If we can offer them great benefits, the Liu family may be willing to join us."

Yin Ting pondered for a moment and continued.

"In addition, there is the Jingbian Marquis Tong family."

"The Tong family has guarded the border for many years and has made outstanding contributions, but in recent years the royal family has also been suspicious of the Tong family and has repeatedly reduced their military power, and even transferred the only legitimate son of the marquisate back to the capital to be placed under house arrest."

"How can the Tong family not feel resentful for being so mean and ungrateful? As long as we promise to rescue the Tong family's legitimate son, the Tong family will definitely fight alongside us."

There was a hint of coldness in Yin Ting's words.

Yin Jingyi, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration as he listened to his father's words. He never expected that his father knew so many of the secrets of the dynasty in such detail.

And even though the decision was made in such a hurry, she was able to react so quickly and give him advice.
