Chapter 121: Watching from the Sidelines

All the treasure chests in the cave were emptied by Su Yuexi.

It was the extent that even mice would leave in tears.

Su Yuexi was very satisfied.

It was a pity that the other treasure hiding place was somewhere else.

Otherwise, she could have taken all of them today.

Presumably, the bandits here knew that eggs should not be put in one basket.

After that, Su Yuexi used Qinggong.

She left the cave silently.

After meeting with An Shiwu.

The master and the servant quickly disappeared in the valley.

It did not alert the guards.

Like a wild goose passing by without leaving a trace.

After Su Yuexi returned to the camp, she quietly returned to her tent.

She looked at the treasures in the space.

She fell asleep with a sweet smile.

The next day.

The team continued to set off.

It will take another four or five days to get to the place where the Su family army is outside the pass.

When Su Yuexi was tired of riding in the carriage, she would run outside the carriage to ride a horse for a while.

She practiced horsemanship in this way.

During this period, Mu Yan showed his courtesy from time to time.

Finally, his favorability reached ten and he got the ship blueprint he had always dreamed of!

And the ship blueprint was matched with the production blueprint of the cannon on board!

Mu Yan was very surprised.

He struggled to come and go, but finally told his aunt about the blueprint.

Unexpectedly, Mu Wanqing was very calm after knowing this.

Although some words cannot be expressed directly.

But after the communication, Mu Yanshi also knew.

It seems that anyone who is related to his cousin by blood can hear her voice.

And those who meet certain conditions can open this strategy system.

The capital, the palace.

Ever since Emperor Fengqing imprisoned many princes in the hall, he left to enjoy himself in the harem.

In the hall, many princes looked at each other.

Prince Ning sat among the princes, not saying a word.

He was thinking.

Is he waiting for a prince to be forced to stand up and make trouble?

He was used by Emperor Fengqing to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

Finally, many princes were forced to rebel together.

He waited for the situation to become completely chaotic, and waited until they were done fighting.

Then he came out to take charge of the overall situation and reap the benefits.

Or should he call on the princes to work together and overthrow Emperor Fengqing first?

But if so.

Among the many princes competing, he is not the most advantageous.

After all, he is the youngest in terms of seniority.

There are still several princes alive before him.

Obviously, the previous strategy is the best for him.

But these princes are not stupid.

They will definitely not allow him to sit alone on the high platform and watch the show.

Sure enough, the King of Qi came to pull him down.

"Prince Ning, tell me. How come this second nephew has become so outrageous after becoming the emperor!"

Prince Ning smiled and said nothing.

"This is simply outrageous!

The rules left by the ancestors, why can he change them just like that!"

Another prince with a hot temper said loudly.

"Humph, it's still unclear whether his throne came legitimately or not.

He has just taken the throne and he has been cutting down the vassal states. Aren't you afraid that his throne will be unstable!"

Prince Zhao said sarcastically.

"Brother, be careful with your words!" Prince Ning pretended to be kind and advised.

But he only got a white eye from Prince Zhao.

Prince Ning didn't care.

At this time, whoever has the hottest temper will be the one who goes out to take the blame.

He was waiting to see what would happen.

At this time, the bad-tempered King Zhao suddenly stood up.

"Today I will walk out of this hall, let's see who dares to stop me!"

He walked out as he said that.

The guards in the hall immediately raised their weapons to stop King Zhao and said:

"Your Highness King Zhao, please stop!"

"Hmph, who are you! How dare you stop me?"

The leader of the guards snorted coldly and said in a cold voice:

"Your Majesty has an order! Anyone who dares to walk out of the hall will be killed without mercy!"

King Zhao paused.

But he still didn't believe that Emperor Fengqing really dared to touch him.

He was the dignified King Zhao!

So he walked out again without stopping.

But this time, several guards formed a human wall and stood at the door of the hall.

The tip of the knife rushed towards him, looking like he would not give in.

Seeing this, the King of Zhao was helpless.

His martial arts were not high, and he really couldn't deal with these guards.

So he snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and went back to his seat.

Another prince asked the guards:

"I wonder how long the emperor will detain us?

Do we princes have to spend the night here?"

The guard leader said without emotion:

"I don't know!"

Okay.

This prince had nothing to say.

King Ning looked at these people with contempt in his heart.

Thinking: Is this the fighting power? You guys should make trouble!

[

Chapter 122 Palace Rebellion

It's a pity that the fighting power of these princes is not very good.

King Ning secretly despised in his heart.

It is definitely not a solution to stay like this, and we must think of a way.

Just then, a vassal king of another surname named Li stood up.

He walked to the door and said to the guards: "I want to go to the toilet."

The guard leader frowned slightly, but still made way.

At this moment, several other princes also began to be eager to try, and they also said that they wanted to go to the toilet.

The guard leader had no choice but to say: "Okay, but you can't go out of the palace."

After that, he turned around and ordered the guards outside the door.

Let them surround the entire palace wall to prevent the princes from going out.

The princes saw that although they could go out of the palace to the courtyard to go to the toilet, they still couldn't leave the palace.

But they were trapped here now, and they had long been cut off from the outside and could not pass on the news.

So, they could only waste time here.

These princes were all precious and had limited patience.

When had they ever been treated so badly on weekdays?

After waiting in the palace for a long time, everyone began to get anxious.

Until night fell.

Emperor Fengqing did not send anyone over.

It seems that he intends to detain them here overnight!

The hot-tempered Prince Qi was instantly upset.

He slammed the table in anger and shouted:

"What a disgrace!

Can you ignore ethics just because you are the emperor?!

I am his uncle!

How dare you treat your own uncle like this!"

Prince Ning curled his lips secretly after hearing this.

Among the princes present, except for the princes of different surnames, how many of them are not related to Emperor Fengqing?

But Prince Ning really did not expect that the second prince could do this.

This obviously does not want to show any mercy or leave any room for maneuver!

And the other princes have now realized this.

This is the most terrifying!

What kind of person is the most terrifying?

It is the kind of person who is stupid, vicious and unreasonable!

Because you can't reason with him, and he doesn't understand reason either.

He will just do what he thinks!

He won't consider too many consequences, and he doesn't play by the rules.

This has caused many princes to feel scared from the bottom of their hearts.

With the stupid character and behavior of Emperor Fengqing.

Who knows, he might really use them as a target!

Some princes have already thought about giving in first, after all, it's important to be prudent and protect yourself!

But Prince Ning doesn't want to see this situation.

He just wants to make the water as muddy as possible.

This way he can take advantage of the opportunity to fish!

Prince Ning cleared his cough.

Seeing one of the guards looking over, he gave a subtle look.

Yes, many of the guards were Prince Ning's men.

At this time, the intolerable Prince Qi suddenly stood up and walked towards the door of the hall.

"Please stay, Prince Qi!"

The guard leader said coldly.

"Who dares to stop me? I am the Prince of Qi of the Great Zhao Dynasty! You are just a little guard, how dare you attack me?!"

As he said that, he was about to push the guards aside and walk out of the hall.

And the guard leader obviously hesitated for a moment.

Just then, the subordinate of Prince Ning who had just received the eye suddenly rushed out and slashed at Prince Qi with a knife.

"Ah——!" Prince Qi screamed.

He was slashed in the arm.

Blood flowed out.

This moment, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest.

These princes didn't expect the guards to really dare to attack.

The already tense situation was ignited in an instant!

Several princes with martial arts skills immediately stepped forward to snatch the swords of the guards.

Some guards didn't dare to really attack the princes, and they let the princes successfully snatch the weapons.

The princes who got the weapons didn't care about anything and rushed out with their weapons raised.

The leader of the guards shouted loudly:

"Your Majesty has ordered that anyone who walks out of the palace will be killed without mercy!"

But which of these princes is not a local tyrant in his own fiefdom?

They are used to lawlessness and do not take these guards seriously at all.

The princes chopped several guards in succession and rushed out.

Prince Ning mixed in the crowd.

While running, he shouted loudly:

"It's bad! The second prince poisoned the previous emperor, and the matter has been exposed!

He wants to kill many princes to cover up the truth!"

Several young eunuchs in the palace heard this shouting.

They even shouted in a shrill voice.

They shouted and ran to other palaces.

"It's bad! The second prince murdered the emperor and usurped the throne, and the matter has been exposed!

He wants to kill many princes to cover up the truth!"

Such shouts rang out one after another in the palace.

And the many princes who ran out were like a drop in the ocean.

It was unlikely that the guards would be able to get them back.

And each prince had his own personal guards to bring into the palace.

They came to rescue their masters and fought with the guards.

There was a chaos in the palace.

To be honest, with the palace guards, these people could not make any waves.

But the palace guards were already in the hands of Prince Ning.

With his secret instructions, no one stood up to capture these princes and their men.

Only a few guards ran out and beat them a few times.

Seeing that something was wrong, the cunning guards retreated behind the scenes.

These princes actually escaped from the palace successfully.

Only the princes who escaped from the palace had the strength to unite with their relatives and ministers to jointly oppose Emperor Fengqing.

Prince Ning wanted them to fight against Emperor Fengqing!

【

Chapter 123 Chaos

Just after all the princes ran out of the palace.

This news was finally heard by Emperor Fengqing.

Emperor Fengqing was playing with his concubines in the harem.

A little eunuch came running over.

"Oh no, Your Majesty! All the princes ran out of the palace!"

"What?!"

Emperor Fengqing's eyes were sharp.

This is impossible! He ordered people to keep a close watch!

"Yes, it is true!"

"The princes snatched the weapons from the guards and rushed out of the palace."

The little eunuch said timidly.

"What a bunch of rubbish!"

Emperor Fengqing threw the wine in his hand and cursed.

He thought the guards did not dare to attack the princes.

This led to the princes' escape.

But as long as they were still in the territory of the capital.

These people still couldn't escape.

"Go, summon the commander of the imperial guards to see the emperor!"

Emperor Fengqing said as he straightened his robes.

He planned to let the imperial guards capture these fleeing princes.

Prince Ning also left the palace among the crowd.

After he left the palace, he asked his men to spread the news that Emperor Fengqing had killed the emperor and usurped the throne.

He also gave instructions to his men.

Those princes could send messages outside the capital.

But they were not allowed to leave the capital!

He had to watch these princes fight with Emperor Fengqing.

In the palace, Emperor Fengqing had ordered the commander of the imperial guards to lead people to capture the princes.

But he saw his personal eunuch suddenly rush in with a pale face.

"It's bad, Your Majesty!"

"There are rumors everywhere about Your Majesty, you..."

"What rumors about me? Why can't you speak clearly!" Emperor Fengqing scolded unhappily.

The eunuch closed his eyes and dared to speak:

"There are rumors outside that Your Majesty killed the emperor and usurped the throne!

The princes have united with the ministers of the clan to force you to abdicate!"

"What?!"

Emperor Fengqing was furious and slammed the table.

"I have ascended the throne, and this throne is mine! I wonder who dares to force me to abdicate!"

As for the matter of killing the emperor and usurping the throne.

Which emperor in the dynasties dared to say that his hands were clean?

It's just that the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits.

History is left to the victors to write!

Emperor Fengqing sneered at things like reputation.

He only cared about the immediate interests.

As for Lord Su, he had already left people in the capital to act according to circumstances.

Seeing this opportunity, Lord Su's men spread the evidence that the second prince had poisoned the previous emperor with elixir.

The rumors of Emperor Fengqing's regicide and usurpation of the throne were confirmed.

This made the matter instantly true.

The princes who escaped from the palace also heard about it.

They united with the royal family and ministers.

They vowed to ask for an explanation from the second prince.

And the princes united and spoke in unison, refusing to recognize the second prince's throne.

For a time, there was a panic in the capital.

Parties from all sides gathered.

Countless pigeons and hawks flew out of the capital.

Just when Prince Ning was watching the show and wanted to reap the benefits.

New rumors appeared in the capital.

It is rumored that Prince Ning had long been raising private troops and buying off the imperial guards, intending to rebel.

The second prince was the puppet he supported to ascend to the throne!

When the time is right, Prince Ning will replace him!

The news reached Emperor Fengqing.

He had long known that Prince Ning was using him, but he did not know that the imperial guards had been bought off.

No wonder those princes could still run out of the palace under his strict orders.

It seems that the commander of the imperial guards had already surrendered to his master!

He immediately angrily ordered people to arrest the commander of the imperial guards.

And the princes who heard the news were not fools.

The second prince was brutal and reckless, and was not the best candidate for the crown prince.

The death of the previous emperor was sudden.

There were doubts.

Why would there be an edict to allow the second prince to succeed to the throne?

But if it is said that this was designed by the meticulous Prince Ning, it makes sense.

Seeing that Prince Ning was hiding his head and tail in this incident, we can know how sinister he is!

These princes are not vegetarians.

It is impossible for Prince Ning to keep a low profile and reap the benefits!

After hearing this, Prince Ning was furious.

Who on earth lifted his vest? !

This disrupted his grand plan!

But he was not afraid.

At worst, they would fight head-on.

Anyway, the imperial guards were in his hands.

His private army was hidden in the imperial farm outside the capital.

As long as he raised his arms.

These people could take over the capital immediately.

However, this time, the title of killing the princes and reducing the vassal states might fall on Prince Ning.

After all, it is a rare opportunity for these princes to gather in the capital.

If he missed this opportunity, it might be difficult to wipe out these forces.

But thinking about killing all the princes,

The forces in the fiefdoms of various princes will constantly seek revenge on him.

They may even unite to overthrow his rule.

Prince Ning was furious.

It was chaos, all chaos!

It shouldn't have been like this!

It should have been the second prince who took the blame for killing the princes and reducing the vassal states.

Thereby causing public outrage and condemnation.

He will then stand up to uphold justice and smoothly take over the throne!

It attracted praise and achievements.

How could it turn out like this? !

[

Chapter 124 Stalemate

The capital was in chaos.

Emperor Fengqing sent his trusted guards to arrest Prince Ning.

As a result, they were all killed by the soldiers under Prince Ning.

Such blatant defiance of the emperor's orders was the first battle of the chaos in the capital.

Emperor Fengqing was furious and personally led the palace guards to arrest Prince Ning.

Prince Ning had no choice but to lead his men to withdraw from the capital and live in the imperial manor.

It's not that he didn't have the ability to kill Emperor Fengqing.

It's just that compared with Emperor Fengqing's ruthless move, he wanted to kill Prince Ning differently.

Prince Ning didn't want to kill Emperor Fengqing easily, but held back everywhere.

It was because he was afraid that after Emperor Fengqing's death, he would become the target of public criticism in front of many princes.

Even at this time, Prince Ning was still thinking about whitewashing and restoring his protective color of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Because after thinking it over, he still felt that he couldn't take the blame for killing the prince.

Otherwise, even if he got the throne, he wouldn't be safe!

He was planning how to kill many princes as soon as possible and put the blame on Emperor Fengqing.

Therefore, he temporarily stalemates with Emperor Fengqing.

This delay of a few days was enough for Lord Su to bring his men to the capital by water.

And there was not much time left for Prince Ning.

Some princes whose fiefs were closer to the capital had their subordinates rushing from their fiefs to protect their masters.

The emperor also began to dispatch troops.

Although the imperial guards were in the hands of Prince Ning,

But there was a cavalry battalion not far from the capital.

It was quickly dispatched by Emperor Fengqing to guard the capital.

So the longer the delay, the more unfavorable the situation would be for Prince Ning.

But even if Prince Ning wanted to make a quick decision,

He was somewhat powerless.

Because those princes were not stupid.

They quickly figured out their situation.

It turned out that no matter who was the emperor, they wanted to sacrifice themselves to the heaven.

So that they could realize centralization!

So the princes united together.

For safety, they gathered their own guards and death warriors together.

Formed a large-scale guard team.

They were escorted to hide in the imperial mausoleum.

Emperor Fengqing and Prince Ning, no matter who takes the lead in attacking the imperial mausoleum.

Both are guilty of disrespecting their ancestors, and even if they get the throne in the future, their reputations will be infamous for thousands of years.

Before they come up with a good solution, these princes can't move.

These two people can only leave these princes alone.

They deal with each other.

Therefore, the current situation has become that the princes sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

If Prince Ning wants to attack the princes, Emperor Fengqing will stop him.

Because for Emperor Fengqing, it's not too late to kill Prince Ning first and then the princes.

And Prince Ning wants to kill the princes first and then pass the blame to Emperor Fengqing. He will replace Emperor Fengqing.

It has been revealed to Emperor Fengqing by Lord Su's people.

How can Emperor Fengqing be willing to let Prince Ning succeed?

After Lord Su hurried to the capital, he did not enter the capital.

Instead, he first stationed in a place not far from the capital.

The people he left in the capital have been sending him messages every two hours using flying eagles.

Therefore, even though Lord Su was not in the capital.

He knew everything that happened in the capital.

He knew that King Ning would definitely not wait too long.

Prince Ning is just still trying to gain some fame now.

The other party wants both the throne and the reputation.

It can be said that he is an example of greed.

But Prince Ning knows better than anyone that this opportunity cannot be missed.

So, Prince Ning will never miss this opportunity!

He will definitely take action before the reinforcements of the princes from all walks of life enter the capital!

And Lord Su came here to make things difficult for Prince Ning.

Of course, he can't let him get what he wants.

Just do whatever he wants to make trouble.

"Pass on my order, assassinate the second prince tonight."

Lord Su said in a cold voice.

"Yes!" The subordinate answered and ran out to convey the order.

In Lord Su's heart, the second prince is not worthy of being an emperor, so he naturally disdains to call him an emperor.

As long as the second prince dies.

No one can take the blame for killing the kings for Prince Ning.

The opponent of Prince Ning will become the power behind all the kings in the world!

It was night.

The palace was solemn.

The imperial guards patrolled the palace with great authority.

All the concubines were hiding in their own bedrooms and dared not come out.

The second prince, that is, Emperor Fengqing, still had the mind to tease decent women at this time.

Although the princes escaped from the palace.

But the female relatives were entertained by the queen at that time and were all left in the palace.

Among them, except for some older princesses.

There were indeed a few young women with good looks.

There were princesses of vassal kings and wives of princes.

The second prince did not care about the identities of these people at all.

He enjoyed the pleasure of the other party being unable to resist him.

"That's her. Take her down to bathe and send her to my bedroom."

The second prince pointed to a beautiful woman and said.

The woman was dressed like a woman.

Hearing this, she pleaded in horror: "Your Majesty, no, I am the daughter-in-law of Prince Su..."

The palace maids came forward one after another and dragged the woman to take a bath without saying anything.

The woman looked desperate and wanted to pull out her hairpin to commit suicide.

As soon as she moved, all the sharp objects on her body were taken away by the palace maids.

While bathing, the woman wanted to drown herself in the bath water.

The palace maids watched her closely and pulled her out of the water repeatedly.

No matter how she struggled, she was finally wrapped in brocade clothes by the palace maids and sent to the emperor's bedroom.

[

Chapter 125 The Death of Emperor Fengqing

The woman's eyes were no longer bright.

She looked at the curtain and thought she could use it to hang herself.

Looking at the wall pillar, she thought she could use it to hit her head...

But these can only be done when there are no palace maids watching.

Before Emperor Fengqing favors her, the palace maids will definitely keep a close eye on her.

Is she destined to die after being humiliated?

The woman thought desperately.

She was a noble lady from a high family.

Because of her good looks, she was favored by the prince of Su, and was asked to be conferred the title and married to the prince as his principal wife.

This marriage was approved by the late emperor.

But how could it be like this now?

How could the new emperor be so absurd?

Aren't you afraid of the gossips of the world when you insult a minister? !

The woman thought desperately.

She heard the footsteps of someone entering the room.

"Everyone, retreat. No matter what sound you hear, you are not allowed to come and disturb my elegance."

She heard Emperor Fengqing say this.

She also heard the footsteps of the palace people retreating one after another.

Then she heard Emperor Fengqing walking towards her with a strange laugh.

"Beauty, are you waiting impatiently? Hehehe..."

Step by step, accompanied by the rustling sound of clothes being taken off, getting closer and closer.

She could only close her eyes tightly and not look at the abominable expression of Emperor Feng Qing.

A hand suddenly touched her body.

She trembled and clenched her teeth.

The strong sense of humiliation and disgust made her wish she could die immediately.

Just when she was already desperate.

Suddenly, she heard a strange sound like a sharp blade entering the flesh.

She opened her eyes in horror.

I saw a long sword piercing through the bones at the throat of Emperor Feng Qing.

Emperor Feng Qing tried to cover his throat.

But he could only make a few futile chuckles.

Then he stared with angry eyes and fell powerlessly in a pool of blood.

The woman sat up from the bed all of a sudden.

Fortunately, she covered her mouth tightly with her hands.

So she didn't make a sound.

She saw that after Emperor Feng Qing fell, a man in black was revealed behind him.

This man was the leader of Lord Su's secret guards, An Yi.

He looked at the woman coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent.

The woman trembled and spoke:

"Wait, wait a minute, brave man, please spare her life!"

According to common sense, An Yi should kill the woman immediately or knock her out.

But for some reason, he stopped for some reason and wanted to hear what she said.

The woman begged:

"If you don't give up, can you help me and take me out of the palace?

I am not the concubine of Emperor Fengqing, but the prince's concubine of Prince Su's mansion.

The emperor was stupid and humiliated me, I should have died.

But the ant still has the heart to live in humiliation.

I, a little girl, also want to live.

Please help me!"

An Yi hesitated.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, and he felt a little pity for this woman.

"No matter who you belong to, I can tell you a secret."

The woman saw An Yi hesitate.

Immediately raised the stakes.

"I know where the imperial seal that has been lost for hundreds of years is!"

The woman said as if she was drinking.

An Yi heard this.

He looked at the woman deeply, as if he was trying to find out whether it was true or not.

After a while, he walked to the woman and stretched out his hand to press her mute point.

The woman found that she could not make a sound.

She was not panicked, but stared at An Yi.

An Yi bent down.

He said coldly: "Climb up by yourself."

The woman quickly lay on An Yi's broad back and hugged him tightly without paying attention to the strict rules between men and women.

An Yi's body stiffened slightly, then returned to normal.

He swung his sword to cut off a curtain.

Wrapped it around his waist and tied the woman and himself together.

Then he used his Qinggong skills and flew out of the window silently.

The other dark guards who were waiting outside saw that the boss An Yi was carrying a woman.

They all looked puzzled.

But no one asked.

Everyone quickly flew out of the palace according to the planned route.

The woman lay on An Yi's back, and her tears wet An Yi's clothes.

She had a feeling of surviving a disaster.

She hated her husband, the prince of Su.

He actually escaped from the palace alone and left her in the palace!

She also hated Emperor Fengqing for being a bad person and bullying his sister-in-law regardless of ethics.

She hated herself even more for not being able to redeem herself.

If she hadn't met An Yi today, she would have died.

At this moment, she lay on An Yi's back and cried out all her hatred and grievances.

At the same time, she saw that An Yi was very skilled in martial arts and was free to come and go in the palace.

She felt a little admiration and yearning in her heart.

If she also knew martial arts, instead of being powerless.

If she also had the ability to protect herself.

Then, wouldn't she have fallen into such a situation today?

An idea secretly took root in the woman's heart...

An Yi and other secret guards returned to Lord Su to report.

And brought the woman to Lord Su. Lord Su had no emotional fluctuations about the death of Emperor Fengqing. This was expected. After the palace was infiltrated by Prince Ning, Emperor Fengqing was very suspicious. Many palace guards were replaced and executed. With such a large-scale change, the palace was no longer in a state of unity. Lord Su was interested in the imperial seal mentioned by the woman brought back by An Yi. According to legend, the one who gets the imperial seal is the one destined by heaven. But the imperial seal disappeared a hundred years ago. I don't know how this woman knew the whereabouts of the imperial seal? [Chapter 126 Suspicion Lord Su looked at the woman with a little interest. The woman held her head high. She seemed a little nervous, but she stubbornly maintained her character. Lord Su asked:

"I heard that you know the whereabouts of the imperial seal."

The woman nodded and said:

"That's right."

"But I have some requirements. I will tell you the whereabouts of the imperial seal only if you meet my requirements.

I know that you are the famous Marquis Su Wu.

You must be a man who sticks to his word!

I will only tell you the whereabouts of the imperial seal after I get your guarantee."

Lord Su laughed.

"If you have any request, you can tell me."

The woman said:

"My surname is Chen, my name is Yaoci, and I am the youngest daughter of the Dujiang prefect.

I married the prince of Su as his concubine.

But the prince of Su was unworthy of being a husband, and he abandoned me alone in the palace and ran away!

I have decided to divorce him!

I will write a letter to my father about what happened here.

You ask someone to help me deliver the letter to my father.

I will stay here to practice martial arts, and let him teach me!"

Chen Yaoci pointed at An Yi and said.

An Yi, who was standing next to him, was stunned for a moment.

Lord Su's eyes wandered between the two for a while, and suddenly laughed out loud.

He said, "Okay, I agree to all your requests."

An Yi was a little anxious and said, "Your Majesty, I still have a lot of things to do. How can I have time to teach this young lady martial arts!"

Marquis Su said, "It's okay. You can take out one or two hours every day to teach her."

"But..." An Yi wanted to say something else.

But Marquis Su was drinking tea without saying a word.

An Yi had to lower his head and obey.

Marquis Su said to Chen Yaoci, "Okay, now you can write a letter, and I will send someone to deliver it to the hands of Governor Chen as soon as possible.

After receiving the reply, you will tell me the whereabouts of the imperial seal, okay?"

Chen Yaoci nodded and said, "No problem!"

Let's not talk about this matter for now.

Let's talk about the palace.

Emperor Fengqing fell in a pool of blood, and no one noticed it for a long time.

Because he gave an order not to disturb the palace.

Therefore, no one dared to ask.

After two hours, the eunuchs guarding outside the palace still did not hear anyone calling for water.

Feeling it a little strange, they reported the matter to the chief eunuch.

The chief eunuch had been following Emperor Fengqing, so he was naturally familiar with some of his personal situations.

In the past, when Emperor Fengqing visited his concubines, he would call for water after a cup of tea.

Today, he did not call for water for such a long time, which was unusual!

So he came to the outside of the bedroom, bowed carefully and called: "Your Majesty~ Your Majesty~"

He called a few times, but there was no movement inside.

The chief eunuch thought to himself that it was not good.

He pushed the door open in a hurry, and saw Emperor Fengqing lying on the ground and the glaring pool of blood.

He screamed immediately.

"Ah! Your Majesty——!

Ah, there is an assassin, there is an assassin!!

"Hurry up and save people! Hurry up and save people!"

The eunuch was so frightened that he was almost incoherent.

He couldn't even figure out what he was shouting.

The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were also in a panic.

Soon, the guards in the palace and the imperial doctors on duty also rushed here.

The emperor was stabbed to death!

This news was immediately spread outside the palace by various secret lines!

When the palace was in chaos.

The news was quickly passed to King Ning's ears.

King Ning was furious and smashed the wooden table in front of him with his hand.

Emperor Fengqing was actually dead !

Who could have done this?

A figure flashed before his eyes.

Su Wu Hou!

King Ning suspected Lord Su.

Since he sent people to hunt down Lord Su last time but failed, the entire Su family disappeared under the cover of the Su family's secret guards and the Su family army.

After that, his various strongholds were secretly besieged by unknown forces.

Even his carefully cultivated substitute was killed!

Otherwise, he would not have come to the capital in person to participate in this Hongmen Banquet against the kings.

And the one who was able to do this The only person who wanted to kill Emperor Fengqing was Su Yunting, who was wrongly accused, confiscated and exiled!

King Ning couldn't help but feel cold.

What kind of power did Su Wuhou have under his command?

He was able to do so much quietly and kill Emperor Fengqing.

Did Su Yunting really do all this?

It seems reasonable to say that Su Wuhou's family has such ability after several generations of accumulation.

But Lord Su has been hiding in the dark and has never revealed any clues.

This makes King Ning only guess at present. Speculation.

Prince Ning was suspicious by nature. In addition to suspecting Lord Su, he also suspected several other princes.

He had been scheming for the throne for so many years.

It was hard to say that other princes older than him had not had such thoughts.

Thinking of this, Prince Ning felt deeply that the princes could not stay any longer!

At this time, Emperor Fengqing was dead, and he would not find a chance to let Emperor Fengqing take the blame if he waited any longer!

There was no need to wait!

Prince Ning immediately ordered his men:

"Send troops to attack the imperial mausoleum! "

【

Chapter 127 Attack on the Imperial Mausoleum

King Ning led his army to attack the Imperial Mausoleum at night.

The kings hiding in the Imperial Mausoleum were shocked.

Their troops were all guards and dead servants.

Compared with the heavy armor brought by King Ning, they were naturally incomparable.

They didn't expect King Ning to be so crazy!

It was to the point where he would destroy them regardless of his reputation and the world's gossip!

In order to survive, they could only fight to the death.

In the fierce battle, a prince jumped out and scolded King Ning angrily:

"King Ning! Aren't you afraid that the ancestors will come into your dreams and teach you, an unfilial descendant? !"

King Ning sneered:

"It's ridiculous. Which emperor didn't ascend to the throne by stepping on the blood of his relatives?

Everything is just a matter of success or failure.

As long as I become the emperor, I will be their most outstanding descendant!"

In fact, what King Ning said is not wrong.

Will each generation of emperors experience several battles before taking office?

Now, the princes who can stay are either the party members who once stood firmly on the side of the late emperor.

Or they are incompetent and unpopular princes who pose no threat to the late emperor.

And those outstanding ones have long become victims of political struggles.

The current King Ning is just following the old path of the late emperor.

It's just that compared with the old path of the late emperor, King Ning's path is This road was more tragic and bloody.

Under the cold and determined eyes of King Ning.

The war at the imperial mausoleum gradually came to an end.

After more than half of the princes died in the battle, a few wanted to surrender.

They asked to be stripped of their titles and claimed that they were willing to offer their fiefdoms.

King Ning also needed some royal relatives who could speak in the clan.

So they were spared.

As the sky gradually brightened, the army called off the battle.

The bluestone floor tiles of the imperial mausoleum were stained with I don't know how many people shed blood.

King Ning didn't care.

The only thing he regretted was that he didn't let Emperor Fengqing take the blame.

However, history is written by the victors.

However, how the history books record this incident is not up to him.

King Ning's mouth curved up.

The throne is within reach!

After King Ning led his people away.

Some palace servants were left here to clean the imperial mausoleum.

The bodies were carried away one by one.

Ning The king was kind enough to order the princes to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

Pours of clean water washed the bluestone floor.

Blood mixed with mud seeped into the soil in the cracks of the bluestone.

With the cleaning of the palace servants, at least on the surface, it was not obvious how fierce the fight had been here.

Lord Su knew all of Prince Ning's actions.

And he had sent people to deliver the news to the fiefs of the princes in advance:

"Prince Ning killed the king and usurped the throne, killed the kings, and tried to weaken the power of the vassal states! "

What awaits King Ning next will be the attack from the armies of the kings of the world!

Lord Su had also thought that he could directly eliminate King Ning and replace him.

This would prevent the world from getting into chaos.

But in reality, it is not feasible.

People's hearts have been the most unpredictable since ancient times.

If he really did this, then his name would be wrong and his words would not flow.

It would be difficult to stop the people from talking nonsense.

At that time, there would definitely be people who would take advantage of this name.

They would come out to cause chaos in the name of restoring the country.

The world would still not be at peace!

Since that was the case, he might as well just go with the flow.

Let it be chaotic.

Wait until the chaos is over.

When the chaos is over, he will come out to pacify the world.

Only then can he truly suppress the gossips of the world.

This is also a helpless move.

Su Yuexi's side.

After a long journey, they finally got out of the border and successfully came to the territory of the Su family army.

Su Yuexi never thought about it.

Lord Su has such a paradise outside the border!

This area is very large, and there are mountains and rivers.

It is a Feng Shui treasure land at first glance.

Not counting farmland and pastoral areas, the concentrated residential area alone is almost as big as a big city.

And this whole city is full of Su family soldiers and their families.

This place has been developed very well.

The Su family soldiers and their families live and work here.

And they all seem to have an unexpectedly high loyalty to the Su family.

Along the way, people who saw them were extremely respectful, and even bowed down to them.

This was the way the emperor met his subjects on the street!

The convoy went all the way to the city lord's mansion.

This place was built like a temporary palace.

The loyal servants in the capital who had been sent out of the mansion long ago were waiting in front of the mansion.

At this time, Su Yuexi found that Su Yuefei and Su Yuexuan secretly turned around and left.

Su Yuexi was a little curious.

What did her two brothers do?

007 immediately told Su Yuexi secretly:

[Host, these two people are going to mobilize troops, they are going to encircle and suppress the Black Wind Village! ]

Su Yuexi thought of the treasures.

[What about my treasure, 007? ]

[How about I follow them secretly and take the opportunity to collect the treasure? ]

[Besides, there are bombs in the Black Wind Village, I can't let these two cheap brothers get hurt so easily, right? 】

Su Yuexi said to 007 in her heart.

007 was delighted.

It seems that the host still knows how to love his family.

As a result, 007 heard Su Yuexi say again:

[At least with them around, I can live a more stable life. ]

[Otherwise, if these two brothers die, Lord Su will have no successor, and there will definitely be people who will come out to cause trouble. ]

[Will my good days be over by then? ]

007 immediately knew that Su Yuexi was still the same Su Yuexi, and the formula had not changed.

[

Chapter 128 Sister-in-law

"Mother-in-law."

A voice as soft and beautiful as a yellow warbler came out of the valley.

Su Yuexi saw the person who spoke.

This was a woman with a soft appearance.

She stood in front of the servants with a graceful temperament.

As the words came out, she bowed gracefully.

There was a wet nurse behind her, holding a swaddling cloth and bowing with her.

Mu Wanqing had a big smile on her face.

"Good Yun'er, you've suffered so much! Don't be polite!"

She quickly stepped forward to support the woman.

She introduced Xiao Yun'er to Su Yuexi, who had never seen her before:

"This is your eldest brother's wife, Xiao Yun'er, call her sister-in-law!"

Xiao Yun'er looked at Su Yuexi.

Su Yuexi hurriedly called out obediently: "Hello, sister-in-law."

Xiao Yun'er smiled softly.

Wenren Qiuchan also came up: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Xiao Yun'er smiled and responded: "No need to be polite, two sisters."

"Come on, let me see my dear grandson~"

Mu Wanqing skillfully took the swaddling cloth from the wet nurse's arms.

Looking at the pink and white buns wrapped inside, she smiled kindly.

"Mother-in-law, where is Brother Peng?" Xiao Yuner asked expectantly.

Pengcheng is Su Yuefei's courtesy name.

Calling husband Brother Peng is a nickname between husband and wife.

"Peng'er..." Mu Wanqing looked up and found that both sons were gone.

"Hey, where are they?" Mu Wanqing asked.

An escort came back immediately: "Madam, the eldest and second sons went to recruit soldiers and said they were going to encircle and suppress the Black Wind Village."

"Why is this kid so anxious to suppress the bandits?! Why don't you come to see your wife and children first!"

Mu Wanqing was a little angry.

Xiao Yuner's eyes suddenly turned red.

But she held back her tears and said:

"Mother-in-law, let's go into the mansion first."

"Okay." Mu Wanqing could only nod in agreement.

Holding her eldest grandson in her arms, she refused to let go.

Everyone entered the mansion and exchanged greetings for a while.

Su Yuexi told Mu Wanqing that she was tired and wanted to rest.

Mu Wanqing thought that Su Yuexi was tired from the journey and did not think much about it.

She quickly helped her choose a courtyard and asked her to take people back to rest.

Su Yuexi came to her new courtyard.

This place is called Tingxi Courtyard.

There is a man-made stream in the courtyard, accompanied by the sound of gurgling water, which is very elegant.

And the flowers and plants in the courtyard are well trimmed, and every scene is designed very beautifully.

The name of the courtyard here also fits Su Yuexi's name.

People can tell it is her courtyard as soon as they hear it.

Su Yuexi only took a rough look.

She quickly returned to the room.

After arriving in the room, she immediately changed into a neat riding outfit.

She also called her four female secret guards, Fenghuaxueye, and Anshiwu.

"Big Brother and Second Brother are going to encircle and suppress Black Wind Village. I will follow secretly, you two should follow and protect me."

Su Yuexi only knows Qinggong now.

She is not good at fighting.

She said this to test the loyalty of the secret guards.

"Master, don't take risks!"

The leading female secret guard An Feng said.

"What if I insist on going?" Su Yuexi asked back.

"Then I will obey your orders!" An Feng immediately saluted and said.

Su Yuexi nodded with satisfaction.

Feng Hua Xue Yue is different from An Shiwu.

An Shiwu used Su Yuexi's loyalty talisman. He obeyed Su Yuexi's orders.

An Feng would first advise Su Yuexi not to take risks.

But this does not mean that she is not loyal.

At least now Su Yuexi is very satisfied with her answer.

"Very good, remember, I am your real master, you just need to listen to me.

As my people, I will not treat you unfairly."

"Yes, I am absolutely loyal and dare to die for my master!"

The secret guards said in unison.

Su Yuexi nodded.

"Okay, let's sneak out of the house, try to follow my two brothers, and don't be discovered."

Su Yuexi led the secret guards out of the city.

But how could she hide from the eyes and ears of the Su family army?

The whole city is full of Su family army people. When they see her, they know that she is the daughter of the marquis and will salute her.

So Su Yuexi's whereabouts soon reached Mu Wanqing's ears.

Mu Wanqing had just arrived here, and there were many chores waiting for her to deal with.

She was listening to the steward's report on various things with Xiao Yun'er.

Wenren Qiuchan was impatient with such chores in the mansion, and slipped away like Su Yuexi.

Mu Wanqing was a little surprised to hear the news at this time.

Then she shook her head helplessly and smiled.

"I didn't expect this child to be so naughty, just like me."

When the Marquis's wife was young, she was also a naughty girl.

She did a lot of things like climbing up the roof and removing tiles.

"Go and call the eldest lady over."

Mu Wanqing ordered.

Soon, Wenren Qiuchan came to Mu Wanqing.

"Mother, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Your sister secretly followed your brothers to encircle and suppress the Black Wind Village.

She doesn't know Kung Fu, and she only brought a few secret guards. You can take some people to protect her secretly."

Wenren Qiuchan was amused.

"My sister's personality is really the same as when I was a child!

Mother, don't worry, I will be able to protect my sister!"

[

Chapter 129 Four Loyalty Talismans

Mu Wanqing couldn't help laughing when she heard it.

"You are still a child? How old are you now? You are only two years older than your sister."

She thought to herself, they are really not from the same family.

They are all naughty girls!

Wenren Qiuchan said goodbye with a smile, selected more than 20 guards, and rode fast horses to catch up.

The road to the Black Wind Village is not short.

Otherwise, the Su family army would not tolerate the existence of such a huge bandit nest near them.

Su Yuefei and Su Yuexuan led the soldiers to march at full speed, and it took three days to reach Black Wind Village.

On the way, Su Yuefei told Su Yuexuan:

"After this encirclement and suppression of Black Wind Village, I will continue to lead the army to my father.

You have to go back to the outside of the pass to garrison and protect mother and sisters."

"Brother, I know." Su Yuexuan said.

In Su Yuexuan's heart, family is the most important thing.

In this life, he will definitely protect mother and sisters.

Su Yuefei nodded with relief.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face and said:

"I don't know what mother will look like when she sees Rong'er."

Rong'er is Su Yuefei's eldest son, who is not yet one year old.

He settled his wife and son in Su Juncheng.

The Su Family Army's garrison originally had no name.

It was the Su Family Army who gave themselves the title of Su Juncheng for the sake of convenience.

As time went by, more and more people were called, and the Su Family Army's base became the Su Army City.

Su Yuexuan said with regret: "Brother, why are you so anxious?

I haven't visited my sister-in-law and met my nephew yet.

You have already ordered the troops to go to war."

Su Yuefei shook his head and said:

"Father's situation is urgent. Now is not the time for sentimental things."

Su Yuefei felt a little guilty towards his wife and children.

But he knew that if he went to see them, it would take a lot of time.

Su Yuefei's wife was a delicate person.

She would definitely hold him and cry non-stop.

Su Yuefei was helpless.

He was afraid that he would delay his father's important matter if he was soft-hearted.

Su Yuexi was riding a horse while communicating with 007.

[007, give me four more loyalty talismans! ]

007: [Host, there really aren't that many! ]

[Then you think of a way! 】

007: [Then, I'll go find another Tongzi to exchange! But this point...]

[I owe you this, put it in the account!] Su Yuexi said.

007: [Okay!]

007 pulled out four loyalty charms in the system space.

It's not that there are no things.

But it can't be given to the host too easily!

Otherwise, the host will have more excessive demands!

007 has almost understood Su Yuexi's character.

That's bad!

He knows how to exploit this Tongzi.

Alas, Tongsheng is not easy!

Su Yuexi was satisfied and got four more loyalty charms from 007.

She found that no matter what she wanted, although 007 acted stingy, he would give it to her in the end!

Su Yuexi narrowed her eyes.

I always felt that this Tongzi must be hiding something from her!

However, as long as it wasn't to harm her, she didn't bother to care for the time being.

During the break.

Su Yuexi called the four female secret guards Fenghuaxueyue to her.

She handed four pieces of talisman paper to the four secret guards and ordered:

"Eat it with the water in the leather bag."

Since the talisman paper melts when it comes into contact with water, it should be okay to eat it directly.

After all, they were outside now and there were no cups.

Without saying a word, the female secret guards took the loyalty talisman and put it in their mouths.

Then he drank the water in the water bag and swallowed the talisman paper.

Su Yuexi waited for a moment.

Then he took out some food and water from the space and distributed them to everyone.

"Eat, take a rest after eating, and let's continue on our way."

Su Yuexi gave the four female secret guards the loyalty talisman, intending to expose the space in front of them.

Only when her subordinates were completely loyal to her could she expose the space in front of them.

After the four female secret guards ate the loyalty talisman, they actually felt some changes in their bodies.

Their physical fitness improved, and some old injuries were healed.

Even their internal strength was slightly improved!

And the look they gave Su Yuexi was full of loyalty to the point of death.

Now An Shiwu, He Fenghua Xueye and the four female secret guards have all taken the loyalty talisman.

Su Yuexi can also fully trust them.

Three days later.

The troops of the Su family army approached the Black Wind Village.

The Black Wind Village minions ran into the courtyard of the Second Chief again.

He shouted:

"Second Chief, it's bad! An army is coming! It seems they are going to encircle and suppress Black Wind Village!"

The Second Chief was immediately shocked and stood up.

"What?! What's going on!"

The minions trembled and said:

"It seems, it seems that the group of convoys we went to encircle and suppress last time were, were from the Su Family Army outside the Great Wall!"

"What! You blind things! How dare you mess with those soldiers outside the Great Wall! I think you have lived enough!"

The Second Chief was so angry that his nostrils flared and he wanted to spit fire.

The minions were full of grievances.

No, it was the Second Chief who ordered them to attack!

"What should I do? What should I do?!"

The Second Chief was so anxious that he turned around on the spot.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he said:

"Go and see if the thunder and fire bombs prepared by Master Zou have been made?!"

"Yes, Second Master!"

The little minions turned around and ran away.

[

Chapter 130 Breaking through the Black Wind Village

The Second Master calmed down.

As long as the thunder and fire bombs prepared by Master Zou can be used.

Their Black Wind Village may have a chance of survival!

It would be best if the thunder and fire bombs could intimidate the Su family army and scare them away.

Otherwise, with so few people in their own village.

Fighting against the Su family army would be like courting death!

It can be seen that the Second Master still has some self-awareness of his own strength.

Soon, the Su family army led by Su Yuefei and Su Yuexuan came to the hilltop where the Black Wind Village was located.

The strategic location of the Black Wind Village was well chosen.

It is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The Su family army stopped to reorganize the team.

The two brothers discussed how to attack.

Su Yuexi secretly followed the Su family army with his men

Seeing the Su family army stopped.

She asked 007 to help her scan the best route.

Then she and the secret guards used Qinggong to flank and entered the range of Black Wind Village in advance.

Su Yuexi handed the two explosive packs from 007 to An Shiwu and An Feng, one of the four female secret guards Fenghuaxueye.

Tell them to place the explosive packs in a suitable place.

007 can directly detonate these explosive packs.

The two secret guards left and went to place the explosives.

Su Yuexi took the opportunity to run to the treasure hiding place of Black Wind Village.

This place is also a cave, and there are people guarding the door.

Su Yuexi is not in a hurry.

Wait until the fight starts, and then she will fish in troubled waters.

This time, the Su family army brought large catapults and crossbows.

The catapult is large in size and the crossbow has a long range.

Su Yuefei ordered people to set up the catapult and crossbow cart.

With a command, the catapult took the lead in launching the attack.

The Black Wind Village had also been prepared.

The big boss ran to the city to have fun and was not in the village.

The second boss ordered the bandits in the village to gather their weapons.

When the catapult launched the attack, huge stones came whistling with the sound of wind!

The bandits screamed and dodged.

The huge stones did not cause too many casualties to the bandits in the village.

However, a lot of buildings in the village were damaged.

Then came the crossbow shooting.

This time, casualties were raised all of a sudden.

The second boss could only shout for everyone to run away.

And he himself had the idea of escaping.

He asked someone to ask Master Zou for thunder and fire bombs, but before he came back, the Su family army launched an attack.

They really started fighting without any negotiation!

Based on the situation, they definitely cannot win!

At this moment, a violent explosion sounded.

The second in command thought that the people he sent out attacked the Su family army with thunder and fire bombs.

But he soon realized something was wrong!

The explosion was in the mountain village!

Then, another violent explosion sounded!

The second in command almost lost his hearing!

It was really an explosion in the mountain village!

The second in command was scared to death.

All kinds of thoughts came to his mind at once.

Could it be that Master Zou's ammunition depot exploded?

Or did the Su family army also master the method of making thunder and fire bombs?

No matter which the result was, the second in command had no time to think about it.

He desperately fled in one direction.

There were the troops he had arranged in advance, and it was also his last retreat.

He had planned that if the situation was not right, he would run away with his trusted men and treasures.

Su Yuexi's side.

When the explosion sounded, the bandits guarding the cave were horrified.

They sent two people to investigate the situation.

At this time, Su Yuexi's two secret guards also came back.

Su Yuexi asked them to deal with the bandits guarding the cave, and she walked into the cave in a swagger.

With a wave of her hand, all the treasures in the cave were collected by her.

Now, almost all the treasures accumulated by Black Wind Village over the years were in Su Yuexi's pocket.

She raised her mouth with joy.

After the explosion.

The scout of the Su family army reported to Su Yuefei:

"Report! General, an unknown object is suspected to have exploded in Black Wind Village."

Su Yuefei thought of the thunder and fire bomb at the first time.

He had heard of the power of thunder and fire bombs.

There are also thunder and fire bombs in the army, but they have not been popularized yet.

He was moved. Could it be that there are masters who make thunder and fire bombs here?

So he ordered: "Kill in! Keep the important people alive."

"Yes!" The men obeyed.

The shouts of killing rang out.

Su Yuexi and the secret guards quietly hid in the woods not far away.

I saw the sequel.

The Black Wind Village was breached.

Most of the bandits who escaped were shot by arrows.

The second in command was captured, and the treasures he wanted to take away were also captured.

The Su family army rescued a disabled man from a lonely courtyard.

This man was Master Zou.

He used to make fireworks and firecrackers.

Later, he accidentally made a powerful thunder and fire bomb.

He was captured by the people of the Black Wind Village and taken into the village.

To prevent him from escaping, his legs were broken.

So now he can only sit in a wheelchair and can't go down the mountain.

He actually hated the people of the Black Wind Village.

So he kept delaying the process of making thunder and fire bombs. I didn't expect to see the fall of the Black Wind Village today!

Master Zou immediately joined the Su family army.

Su Yuefei took him into the army because he had the ability to make thunder and fire bombs.
