Chapter 245 The Great Prince Supervises the Country (Please Subscribe, Ask for a Monthly Pass!)

"I don't know!" Shui Ling was innocent.

"I'll teach you a skill and a secret technique. The former is called "Sacred Yellow Glazed Canon", and the latter is called "Concealment Technique". Hide it." Xiao Ran said.

"En." Shui Ling nodded heavily.

Raising the index finger, the fingertips are shining with golden light.

Like lightning, it landed between her eyebrows and taught her these two exercises.

Do it all.

Withdrawing her fingers, she watched calmly, waiting for her to wake up.

Although Shui Ling was exposed to martial arts for the first time, her sacred body was very strong, and she even comprehended martial arts very quickly.

Only a few minutes passed.

Then he opened his eyes, and it seemed that he had comprehended these two martial arts.

"Do you remember?" Xiao Ran asked.

"En." Shui Ling nodded heavily.

"In front of outsiders, don't reveal what you can cultivate, let alone reveal your Seven Treasure Glazed Sacred Physique, otherwise it will be dangerous."

"Keep it in mind, and then seriously practice the concealment technique to cover up your breath." Shui Ling blinked mischievously.

Simply getting along, she didn't feel nervous anymore.

Joy and joy, like eating honey, I am very happy in my heart.

"Let's go! Let's go out." Xiao Ran smiled.

He opened the door and walked out first.

"Hehe..." Shui Ling stuck out her tongue cutely at his back.

Follow quickly.

Seeing them coming out, Shuirou put the filled tofu nao on the side, and brought over fried dough sticks, steamed buns, tea eggs, and pickles, "Sir, eat first, let's talk when there is not enough."

"En." Xiao Ran responded.

He took the tea egg and ate it.

Pulling the water bell to the side, I wanted to ask, but there were too many people around me, so I had to change my words, "Hurry up and help!"

"Hmm." The water bell answered twice.

Greet the guests around.

Eating tea eggs and drinking bean curd.

At this time, there was a small voice of discussion.

"Have you heard? Your Majesty is already awake." Passerby A.

"Isn't Your Majesty always well?"

Passer-by A glanced left and right, saw no patrolling troops and policemen passing by, and said in a low voice, "You know what a fart! This matter is secret, and I heard it from others."

Passer-by B's curiosity was aroused, and he couldn't help asking, "Don't dawdle, speak quickly."

"This is breakfast."

"I invite!" Passerby B said.

"Enough!" Passerby A was satisfied.

Continuing with the topic just now, he continued, "Didn't a lot of major events happen in the capital some time ago? Your Majesty was assassinated by the Ninth Prince, and then by the Third Prince, and almost died. Fortunately, the imperial doctor in the palace took action and used amazing medical skills to pull His Majesty from the gate of hell." When I came back, I just woke up last night."

Passerby B's appetite was completely lifted, and he asked, "What about the back?"

"The Ninth Prince was killed at that time. The Third Prince wanted to rebel, and he did not hesitate to launch an army of more than 200,000 to fight. Passwords, and high pensions, but how can there be an impenetrable wall in the world? The news still spread.”

Add oil and vinegar, and the tofu brain is also finished.

Passerby A stopped again, Passerby B understood in seconds, called Shui Ling, asked her to have another bowl, and ordered a few more tea eggs, "Hurry up!"

He calmly ate two tea eggs and took a sip of tofu nao. Seeing that passer-by B could not bear it any longer, passer-by A said, "Then His Majesty woke up last night and issued several imperial decrees in succession, including the third prince. All of her grandfather's family, including her grandfather's family, were taken to the vegetable market to be beheaded, and the female relatives were sent to the Jiaofang Division."

"Gulu!"

Passerby B swallowed hard, showing excitement, "Really?"

boom!

Passer-by A seemed to see what was going on in his mind, and waved his hand angrily and slapped him on the head, "What are you thinking? The gate of the Jiaofang Division, we people can go in?"

He lowered his voice again.

"However, I heard that Zuixianyuan has a very good relationship with that side. When Zuixianyuan buys the people there, we can go and satisfy our greed."

"Good idea!" Passerby B's eyes shot fire.

"The Qin family is also an accomplice. It is said that they will also be dragged to the vegetable market to beheaded. Your Majesty was seriously injured and seemed to be dying. Under the persuasion of the ministers, let the eldest prince supervise the country and preside over the government. Censor Zhongcheng discusses state affairs."

"Then what?"

"Do you think I'm Shunfenger? Is the palace opened by my family? Is it clear what happened?" Passerby A gave him a white look.

After drinking the remaining bit of tofu nao, he walked away quickly.

Xiao Ran listened to this scene, looked in the direction of the palace, with suspicion on his face, "The news spread so fast?"

Think here.

Three times, five times and two times, finish the breakfast in front of you.

Wiping off the oil from the corners of his mouth with a tissue, he stood up from the chair, took out two taels of silver and put it on the table, "I'm going first."

"No money..." When Shui Ling chased after him with the money, Xiao Ran had already left.

Shuirou pulled her to the side and asked curiously, "What did you do in the back room just now?"

"No, nothing!" Shui Ling's face flushed red.

"Silly girl, you're even hiding it from me?" Shuirou poked her brow angrily.

He blushed even more.

In her ear, she whispered, "He, he taught me two exercises."

"Hmm!" Shuirou responded with a long cry.

He didn't ask any more questions and told her to keep busy.

Arrived at Excalibur Guard.

Seeing Xiao Ran coming, the person at the door greeted him warmly, "Morning Brother Xiao!"

"Morning!" Xiao Ran nodded in response.

Into the yard.

Shen Yiming was drinking tea, and there was a plate of peanuts, a set of purple sword robes and a purple light sword, and an imperial decree.

Smiling slightly, he pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit."

Pulling out the chair and sitting down, taking the teacup he handed over, Xiao Ran took a sip, glanced at the things on the table, "It seems that the rumors I heard are correct."

"Has the news spread in the capital?" Shen Yiming asked.

"En." Xiao Ran responded.

"When I came here, I had some breakfast at the Shuirou Tofu Shop, and I heard what some diners said."

looking at him.

"What exactly is going on?"

Shen Yiming explained what happened in detail.

Much more careful than what the man said just now.

If the eldest prince supervises the country, if there is a war, he can mobilize any army in the Great Xia territory after discussing with the Sangong and the others.

besides.

Eunuch Zhu and Eunuch Liang were sent to protect him.

Because of Xiao Ran's meritorious service in this matter, he was promoted to the rank of Purple Sword Guard. The imperial decree on the table and a set of purple sword robes belonged to him.

After the person who delivered the decree came last night, he conveyed the decree and left.

"Open it and have a look." Shen Yiming pointed at the imperial decree.

"What's so interesting about this?" Xiao Ran shrugged.

It's better to open the imperial decree, stamp it with the seal of the jade seal, and a short sentence, the official will be promoted to a level, and it will be gone if he is promoted to Zijianwei.

"Congratulations! Another promotion." Shen Yiming congratulated.

"What do you want to say?"

"Drunken Immortal Courtyard invites guests!"

"Okay!" Xiao Ran had no objection.

Shen Yiming said again, "Put on your clothes, we will go to the prison together later, and lead them to the vegetable market."

"En." Xiao Ran took out the black gold black python robe and put it on.

And tied Zijianwei's waist plate around his waist.

Showing regret.

"Time flies so fast. When I was first transferred from the prison, I was just an ordinary member. I didn't expect that after two years, I would become a senior member of the Excalibur Guard."

"Yes!" Shen Yiming felt the same way.

Cheeky memories.

"But compared to before, in our current life, even though we are in a high position, we are already at the top, and we always feel that something is missing."

"Happy!" Xiao Ran added.

"Yes." Shen Yiming agreed.

"Recalling the days in the sky prison, although I was a little tired during that time, I was really happy. I didn't have to worry about anything. As the official position got higher and higher, I came into contact with more and more things. , want to be as carefree as before, it's hard!"

"Pretentious." Xiao Ran rolled his eyes.

"Since when did you become Xiao Zhou? You are sentimental, like a bitch."

Speaking of which, curiosity came up.

The scrutinizing eyes seemed to see through him.

"How did the talk go?"

"How did the talk go?" Shen Yiming was taken aback.

"Didn't Zhou Tongyuan introduce you to someone before?"

"I don't like her, she wasted a little time on me, seeing that I was unmoved, she didn't bother me."

"You're not too young anymore. Xiao Zhou has Sister Yan, Shi Ming got married on Eleventh, Jian Twelve and Princess Qingning are also set on Eleventh, double happiness is coming, you should think about it." Xiao Ran said.

"Is Princess Qingning awake?" Shen Yiming asked.

"En." Xiao Ran nodded.

"Jian Twelve captured the fantasy sky spirit beast, and took a drop of its heart to wake her up. After so many hardships, the lovers finally got married. To be honest, I envy them."

"how about you?"

"Hurt each other, right?"

"Haha..." Shen Yiming laughed.

After drinking the tea, he stood up from the chair.

Looking in the direction of the imperial palace, he sighed, "The capital is about to change again!"

"Letting the eldest prince oversee the country does not deprive the other princes of their power. He is putting the eldest prince on fire for barbecue. However, this is also a good thing. It is a good thing for Daxia to appoint the crown prince as soon as possible." Xiao Ran sighed.

"This time, the remaining princes are very likely to join forces. If the eldest prince can withstand their counterattack, even if he doesn't take them down, he will still win. If he can't resist, let them succeed, and the crown prince will never have a chance with him again. I will choose among these princes and choose a suitable one." Shen Yiming looked serious.

"The news came that if he died, he wouldn't have long to live. Do you think it's true?"

"The last mutiny in the palace, I healed his wounds. Although he was seriously injured, he was not exhausted. Could it be that his injuries have deteriorated during this time?" Xiao Ran was puzzled.

"It's hard to say!" Shen Yiming shook his head.

"The Ninth Prince sacrificed himself with the evil and mysterious method, severely injured him with the power of the law, and was assassinated by Hong Yi. No one can say for sure. But he sent Eunuch Zhu and the others, and advanced the plan. possible."

Xiao Ran stood up from the chair, "It's going to rain, mother is going to get married, we can't control that much."

"That's right!" Shen Yiming agreed.

Looking at the sky outside.

"It's getting late, we should go."

The two of them went out of the room, assembled their men and horses, and brought six hundred people with them, and rushed towards the prison.

To the dungeon.

Zhu Yuyan waited at the door for a long time, then rushed up to greet her, "Here we come!"

"En." Xiao Ran responded.

Looking at the Purple Sword Guard badge on his waist, he smiled and congratulated, "Congratulations! You've been promoted again."

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." Xiao Ran said.

"Hurry up and go in! The imperial decree was delivered last night."

Xiao Ran and Shen Yiming led some people into the dungeon.

in the hall.

Both Zhang Yu and Lingji were there, besides them, there were dozens of guards standing in the hall in full force.

"Brother Xiao, Master Shen!" Zhang Yu shouted.

Xiao Ran and the two nodded.

"Here!" Zhang Yu took out the imperial decree and handed it over.

Receive the imperial decree and open the imperial decree.

The content was similar to what Shen Yiming said, the third prince, his grandfather's family, including the remnants of the Qin family, were all taken to the vegetable market and beheaded.

Put away the imperial decree, wave your palm, "Do it!"

The people of Shenjianwei rushed up quickly and started to take people.

The prisoners in the cell were shocked when they saw such a big move, their bodies trembled, afraid that they were coming to catch them, and they prayed in their hearts, don't come over.

"You guys are waiting for me here, I will go to purgatory and bring the third prince here." Xiao Ran said.

In purgatory.

Jian Twelve is still in the hall, practicing incarnation outside the body.

"Didn't go back?" Xiao Ran was puzzled.

"I discussed with Ning'er and remodeled the prison next to His Highness, and settled here temporarily."

Xiao Ran understood what he meant.

Firstly, Princess Qingning wants to get together with the Eldest Princess, secondly, Purgatory will be safer with them here, and thirdly, if he has something to go out, Princess Qingning will stay here, and there will be someone to protect him, so there is no need to worry about safety.

What happened last time will never happen again.

"Are you going to do something?" Jian Twelve asked.

"There is still more than an hour, and it will be noon. We must escort them over half an hour earlier." Xiao Ran said.

Let him continue to practice, and when he reached the first cell, he greeted them and walked inside.

Purgatory is already on the right track, guarded by Patriarch Xueli and his own incarnation, so there is no need to worry about safety.

The spirit-gathering array and the blood essence of the five beast dragons can assist them in their cultivation.

Carried the third prince out of purgatory, and returned to the hall again.

Throwing him on the ground casually, Xiao Ran ordered, "Take off his clothes!"

The two divine sword guards rushed up, stripped off the luxurious brocade clothes from the Third Prince, put a prison uniform on him, put on shackles, and handcuffed all his hands and feet.

"It's fun! It's so fun, are you playing hide-and-seek with me?" The third prince smirked.

"What a fool!" Shen Yiming said.

"Under my claws, I hurt my brain, completely stupid." Xiao Ran said.

Looking around at the prisoners.

"Walk!"

After leaving the sky prison, the prison car was ready, there was only one, and it was also a prisoner. Only the third prince could enjoy this treatment, so he was locked in the prison car.

The rest of the criminals followed behind the prison car like driving pigs.

Xiao Ran and Shen Yiming got on the Zhaoye Ryoma, with their legs clamped together, they stepped forward and walked towards the vegetable market.

The vegetable market is in Beicheng.

It's not that there is only one vegetable market in the capital, but there is only one vegetable market where prisoners are executed and beheaded for public display.

From Tianlao, you have to pass Suzaku Avenue.

all the way.

The people who got the news all rushed over, stood on both sides of the street, pointed at the third prince and the others, and some even cursed.

Follow along.

More and more people came, but fortunately enough people were brought, and with them clearing the way, the road went smoothly.

"Smash them to death!" In the crowd, whoever took the lead yelled out.

The rotten egg sliced ​​through the sky, and hit the third prince's face with incomparable precision.

The third prince smiled like a fool, and ate the egg yolk from the corner of his mouth, showing an innocent smile, "It's delicious!"

More and more rotten eggs, rotten vegetables, stinky shoes, etc., were smashed out of the hands of the people.

fall upon them.

Not a single criminal was missed, and they were all greeted by the people.

"Hey! Who would have thought that he, who used to be a high-ranking prince, would have today." Shen Yiming sighed.

"There is not only one path, but since he has chosen a path, he must be prepared to bear the price of failure." Xiao Ran said.

Pass Suzaku Avenue.

More than a hundred police officers, led by Bai Zhanyu, rushed over quickly.

The Divine Sword Guards stepped aside and let them come over.

"Brother Xiao, Master Shen!" Bai Zhanyu cupped his hands.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Ran asked.

"The imperial court sent an order in the morning to let us Beicheng county government be responsible for maintaining order." Bai Zhanyu explained.

"Open the way ahead."

"Yes." Bai Zhanyu responded.

Leading people to clear the way, the people of the Excalibur Guards vacated, guarded the surroundings, and escorted the criminals forward.

Here we are at the vegetable market.

There were more people who got the news in advance, and it was dark and full of people everywhere, enclosing the square of Nuo Da.

Seeing that his way was blocked, Bai Zhanyu scolded in a deep voice, "Get out of the way!"

After not seeing him for a while, his cultivation base also increased, and a huge oppressive force spread to the surroundings like rolling thunder.

Seeing their ferocious appearance, the onlookers retreated subconsciously to make way for a passage.

Bai Zhanyu gave another order to free up a space with Xingtai as the center.

The soldiers and horses of the fifth city defense department guarding here also rushed over to maintain order with them.

Xiao Ran and Shen Yiming handed over the third prince to them and asked them to bring them to Xingtai. There were too many people, no matter how big Xingtai was, they would not be able to kneel down once. The same goes for the executioners, there were not enough people.

But it can be done in batches.

Twenty executioners stood on Xingtai, wearing red torture clothes, with their chests exposed, and holding torture knives, which were widened and thickened, and had been sharpened again.

Xiao Ran and Shen Yiming did not go in, but stood on the side, watching the scene calmly.

Their mission is to bring people to the place, and then they are responsible for protecting the execution ground. If someone rescues them, all future offenders will be captured.

The person in charge of the beheading was Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment, a middle-aged man whom he did not know.

There is still a quarter of an hour until noon.

"Will someone come to rescue them?" Shen Yiming asked.

"He's dead!" Xiao Ran's answer was not a question.

Shen Yiming understands this truth, and finally stepped on the third prince to this step. If someone hijacks the court, even if they don't take action, the eldest prince will try every means to kill him.

With the delay of time.

It was noon in a blink of an eye.

The supervisor glanced at the sky, grabbed a handful of "killing arrows", threw them on the ground, and shouted coldly, "cut!"

The executioner took a sip of the wine and spat out the remaining half on the knife.

He raised the knife high, facing the sun, under the sunlight, a layer of cold light shone, holding the knife with both hands, quickly and accurately, and slashed down.

Chi!

Twenty heads fell to the ground, and all of them, including the third prince, were beheaded.

The soldiers escorted another group of criminals forward, made them kneel on the ground, and beheaded them again.

for a while.

All criminals were executed.

The supervisor ordered their bodies to be destroyed, and they were piled up together, poured with kerosene, and set on fire.

In this way.

Completely cut off them with the help of a powerful secret method, or rebirth from the gods against the sky.

very careful.

After their corpses were completely burned, Xiao Ran ordered the people of the Divine Sword Guards to go back first, and Bai Zhanyu came up to meet them.

"Brother Xiao, have you been promoted?"

"Xiao Ran treats guests at night, if you don't get drunk at the Drunken Immortal Courtyard, you won't return." Shen Yiming laughed.

"What night are you waiting for? It happens to be fine now, why don't you go?"

Shen Yiming looked at Xiao Ran, "Anything else?"

"No!" Xiao Ran said.

"Okay!" Shen Yiming replied.

"You want to call Xiao Zhou and the others?"

"Forget about Xiao Zhou, this meal is not bad, he is still cultivating hard in purgatory, Shi Ming can't do it either, call the Taoist priest and Gu Qiuhe." Xiao Ran said after a while.

The three of them walked towards Drunken Immortal Courtyard together.

Xuanwufang, No. 18.

In the study.

The second prince was completely insane, like a lunatic, holding Lingbao Fenglong Xingchen sword, venting his anger crazily, chopping wildly.

Broken tables and chairs, expensive calligraphy and paintings, vases, etc., were all chopped up by him.

As far as the eye can see, the ground is in a mess.

"ah!"

With a ferocious face, they twisted together, roared, and chopped off the only chair left with a sword, and then stopped.

Turn around.

Burning with rage, his eyes were red, with strong unwillingness, "This prince refuses to accept! Why does the father let the boss supervise the country? Compared with him, how is this prince inferior? Is it because he was born earlier?" , let him supervise the country?"

"Has the fire gone?" Uncle Huo asked.

"No!"

"We haven't lost yet!"

"I know!" The second prince said fiercely.

"Father's plan is good, let him supervise the country, set him up and roast him, in the face of our counterattack, if he can block, the crown prince will really fall into his hands. If this is the case, forget it. But why did Emperor Father send Eunuch Zhu and Eunuch Liang there?"

"It's just the strength on the surface." Uncle Huo said.

"Eunuch Zhu holds the shadow department in his hands and monitors the world. He is powerful and very mysterious. Except for them, no one knows how many people there are in the shadow department and how many powerful people are hidden. As for the help he has given him in the open , I’m afraid that the grass on the wall in the court will be pasted up on its own initiative at this moment.”

"As long as he seizes this opportunity, his power will grow unprecedentedly, reaching a terrifying level. With our strength alone, if we want to fight him again, we will have no chance at all." The second prince said.

Boom!

There was a knock on the door, and a clear and sweet voice came from outside, "I beg to see you!"

"Dodge the old man." Uncle Huo said.

"No need." The second prince waved his hand.

"With the information network of their ancient family, it is impossible not to know your existence. Besides, she is now the prince's person, and everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope. At this time, it is not to be on guard, but to cooperate sincerely and abandon everything. Prejudice, integrate the resources in hand, and deal with the more complicated situation in the future."

"A child can be taught." Uncle Huo nodded gratified.

"Come in." The second prince said.

Gu Ying walked in from the outside, glanced at the scenery in the study, and saw all the scenery in his eyes. Seeing Uncle Huo was there, the smile on his face was even wider, and he did not close the door. Clean the study room!"

The maid came in, cleaned up all the rubbish on the ground, as well as the broken tables and chairs, replaced them with a new set of tables and chairs, and finally closed the door.

"I've seen Your Highness!" Gu Ying saluted slightly.

"En." The second prince nodded.

"I've seen Uncle Huo!"

"Not bad." Uncle Huo smiled gently.

"I've heard of Uncle Huo's name a long time ago, and seeing him today, I'm really extraordinary. With Uncle Huo's help, Your Highness will be even more powerful." Gu Ying complimented.

He made a pot of snow ginseng tea with the teapot, poured them a cup, and the three of them sat on the chairs.

After taking a sip of tea, Gu Ying said, "Your Highness is worried about the matter of the eldest prince's supervision of the country?"

"Yes." The second prince didn't hide anything.

"We haven't lost yet!" Gu Ying was firm.

The two of them waited quietly, wanting to hear how she analyzed it.

"At this time, no matter whether it is your Highness, you, or other princes, it is impossible to sit still. Once the eldest prince is allowed to sit on the crown prince, when the time comes, the court's resources will be tilted, and your majesty will cooperate with him and get rid of you. It can be said that the two sides have reached the key to a decisive victory, whoever retreats will die!"

paused.

"The power of the four princes alone is not very good. If they unite and optimize their resources, the power they will erupt will be very large, far surpassing you and the first prince. Even if the first prince is soaring now, he will not be able to stop them .”

"You mean to let the prince join hands with them?" The second prince frowned.

"They are not worthy!" Gu Ying shook his head.

"Even if you are willing, Your Highness, they dare not agree."

The second prince smiled. He was like a dragon crossing the river, while the remaining princes were like snakes. A dragon got mixed into a group of snakes. It was okay when there were foreign enemies, and they could still speak out unanimously.

After getting rid of the eldest prince and making him familiar with their methods, the crown prince will have no chance with them.

At that time.

Their fate is not much better than that of the First Prince.

"A strong man cuts off his wrists, confusing the real with the fake." Gu Ying solemnly said eight words.

The second prince continued to listen.

"Give up some indifferent forces, or turn the forces on the bright side into the dark, but the action should be hidden to give the outside world a false impression that you want to withdraw, Your Highness, and you don't want to compete for the crown prince anymore."

"No one will believe it!" The second prince shook his head.

"I know it myself, this is just one of them." Gu Ying continued.

"Secondly, announce to the outside world that you will marry me as a concubine. Apart from that, let people search for beauties from all over the world and indulge them to their heart's content, so as to attract everyone's attention. Leave the rest of the matter to the concubine and Uncle Huo. , we are responsible for recruiting the guards of the four gates of the palace, as well as other generals, including the Fifth Division of City Defense, and the Longtai Camp."

The beautiful eyes flickered coldly.

"If you don't succeed, you will succeed!"

"The operation of this matter is too difficult, and it is easy to leak the wind! But once we succeed, we will take the initiative when the opportunity comes, and we will be at least half sure that we will succeed in seizing the heir!" The second prince's eyes flickered.

Looking at her seriously.

"Everything else is fine, but are you sure about the Longtai camp?"

"Your Highness, please rest assured, my ancient family has been passed down for so many years, how can I not have a little bit of cards? Let me tell you, there are four gates in the imperial palace, and the master of one gate is from our ancient family. The Longtai camp is under the control of the champion. Although it is difficult to operate, we might as well start with other people's family members, as long as we win one or two, it is a profit for us. Jump out of the chessboard, watch from the sidelines, and let them have a good fight." Gu Ying has the winning ticket.

"That's not enough!" The second prince sneered.

"We have to give them another fire to make them fight a little more crazy."

"The third prince, including those related to him, and the Qin family have all been beheaded!" Gu Ying said.

"This is just the beginning!" The second prince said fiercely.

We discussed it for a while.

The second prince played in person, intending to marry Gu Ying as his concubine. At the same time, he also let the mansion spread the news that he would take a concubine and spread the leaves for the royal family.

Another sensational thing was done, severing ties with some forces.

Follow the agreed plan closely.

It's different from the silent atmosphere here.

In the First Prince's Mansion, it can be said to be full of joy.

Starting from the gate, there was a long line of water dragons, and some grasshoppers came to visit him with generous gifts, wanting to meet him and offer their loyalty.

study.

The First Prince and Old Man Tianji were sitting on chairs drinking tea, with victorious smiles on their faces.

As for Eunuch Zhu and Eunuch Liang, they were consecrated at a high level, in the side hall, not here.

"I didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly." The eldest prince laughed.

"Indeed." Elder Tianji felt the same way.

"No matter what, I have to thank the third and the ninth. Without their efforts, I would not be where I am today, if my father was stabbed and almost killed."

After a pause, he asked back, "At this time, the third child and the others should all be beheaded, right?"

"Calculating the time, it should be almost there."

"Good man!" The eldest prince exclaimed.

"Remember today's day, and every year in the future, we will burn more paper money for them so that they can live more comfortably down there."

"It should." Old Man Tianji laughed again.

With a serious face, the eldest prince analyzed seriously, "This group of fools, seeing that this prince has gained power, wants to take a ride, and don't even think about them being worthy? For the time being, make false claims with them, unite with all the forces that can be united, and bring them together." Gather to our side, wait for this prince to sit on the crown prince, and then settle accounts with them."

"Your Highness is wise!"

"Father's hand is to put the prince on the fire, and he can only succeed but not fail. There is another news from the palace that his body is seriously injured. I am afraid that time is really running out. No matter what you pay No matter what the price, we must block their counterattack, the more critical the time, the less we can be careless and make a comeback in the gutter."

Paused for a moment, with regret on his face.

"In this way, the plan we set before was disrupted, and we can no longer develop and accumulate strength secretly."

"Where there is gain, there is loss. If you want to get something, you have to give something. It is difficult to have both ways in this world." Old Man Tianji shook his head.

"The fourth one is nothing to worry about, a bunch of scum, the prince has not taken them seriously. The second one is mainly on their side, the Gu family is still on their side, so it's not easy to deal with."

Speaking of this, there was a hasty knock on the door, interrupting the First Prince's words.

The butler's voice came from outside.

"The slave has an urgent matter to report!"

"Come in." The First Prince said.

The door was pushed open, the butler came in from the outside, and then closed the door.

After the salute, the report began.

"The news came from the second prince that he cut off contact with all forces, and even said that he wanted to marry Gu Ying as his concubine. At the same time, there was a news that he took concubines of more than ten houses and spread the branches and leaves for the royal family. He was letting the people in the mansion , looking for a suitable woman."

The eldest prince waved his hand, signaling him to back down.

After the housekeeper left.

"What is the second child doing? Let go completely, or is it trying to cover up?"

"It should be the latter! At this point, it is impossible for him to let go, spreading rumors, deceiving the public, fearing that he is plotting secretly and preparing to blackmail us!" Old Man Tianji said solemnly.

"He's not worthy!" The First Prince snorted coldly.

"Let people pay close attention to him. Among them, only he is barely enough to watch. The others are not worth mentioning. Once news comes, he will be completely eliminated with a thunderbolt."

"The other princes should also send someone to watch over them, and they can't be taken lightly." Old Man Tianji reminded.

"The prince understands."

"Eunuch Zhu, what do you plan to do with them?"

"For the time being, we will ask them to take action when we need them. But be careful not to let them know our plan."

Tapping the table with his index finger, the eldest prince's eyes flickered fiercely, and he said again, "There is one more person to pay attention to, my prince is afraid that he will jump out and disrupt the situation again."

"Xiao Ran?" Elder Tianji guessed it out.

"En." The First Prince didn't hide anything.

"The matter of the third child was messed up by him. If he hadn't appeared at the critical moment holding the real dragon token, he might have succeeded. If we fought with the second child to a fever pitch, in case he was drawn over, as far as we were concerned, It will be very disadvantageous. No matter how much he prepares, if he desperately uses the True Dragon Order and mobilizes the troops of the Longtai camp, he will be completely crushed."

"You want..." Elder Tianji didn't say the latter words.

"Not bad!" The eldest prince nodded.

"No poison, no husband. At this point, the prince does not allow any accidents! Find a chance to get rid of him, and then snatch the real dragon token in his hand. If there is a real dragon token, even if there is an accident, we will It can mobilize the army of the Longtai camp and turn the world around."

"What about the Eldest Princess? If we use the True Dragon Token, she will definitely not let us go, and if Xiao Ran dies, she will investigate at all costs." Old Man Tianji's face was serious.

"If it's really time to use the True Dragon Token, you have already lived and died, and you still care so much? Killing one is enough money, killing two to earn one! If the prince fails, no one will be able to sit in that position. If you die, everyone will die together! As for aunt's revenge, it's a fatal situation, so you still care about it?" said the eldest prince.

"Okay! The old man will let people stare at him." Old Man Tianji solemnly agreed.

Standing up from the chair, the First Prince left.

Here in the backyard.

He happened to meet Concubine Yang and saw her admiring the peach blossoms. Suddenly, the place was very itchy, and he didn't think much about it, thinking that he missed her.

Coupled with the fact that happiness came too suddenly, and he started to supervise the country, he wanted to "share" with her properly.

He walked over, hugged her from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said softly, "What are you thinking?"

"Ah! Why are you here, Your Highness?" Concubine Yang was surprised.

In the recent period of time, there has been an abnormality in that place, and it has begun to turn red.

She didn't dare to say it, she didn't dare to seek an imperial doctor, and she didn't dare to think deeply about it, so she could only attribute all this to the fact that she missed the First Prince too much.

Being hugged by him, Xiafei's cheeks, her beautiful face immediately turned red.

"Go! Let's go in and talk." Holding her hand, the eldest prince walked towards the bedroom.

...

Several imperial decrees of Emperor Shengwen made the situation in the capital more chaotic, especially letting the eldest prince supervise the country, like a catalyst, making the situation that had just eased tense again.

Chilling permeates, covering the capital city.

In this grand drama of seizing the heirloom, all forces are on the move.

There are too many involved, and no one can be alone.

As night fell.

In a large courtyard, there were some uninvited guests, all of them covered their faces, wore night clothes, and brought only one confidant, let them guard outside, and then entered the hall.

When everyone was present, he took off the veil on his face, revealing familiar faces.

Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince, Sixth Prince...

Hey guys, it's almost all here.

After plotting for two hours, they formed an alliance of interests, secretly called the Prince's Alliance, to advance and retreat together, integrate resources, and share information to cope with the more complicated situation that will follow.

In the alliance of princes, there is no second prince, just as the second child expected, he was excluded.

There are also several princes who did not come for some reason.

The absent prince is destined to be eliminated first.

No one wants to see accidents happen, and no one wants to see someone hiding behind and watching the fisherman's profit.

Boom...

In the night sky, thunder and lightning flashed without warning, one after another silver-white thunder roared above the nine heavens, with a destructive power that wanted to destroy everything.

There was a strong wind, dark clouds overwhelmed the top, and bean-sized raindrops fell down. As time passed, the torrential rain became bigger and bigger.

Drunken Immortal Courtyard.

backyard.

Xiao Ran, Shen Yiming, Daoist Xuanyang, Gu Qiuhe and Huzi sat around the table.

Except for Xiao Ran, the others were accompanied by two young and beautiful girls.

Sister Yan walked in from the outside with a smile at this time, "I just came back from the Jiaofang Division."

Gu Qiuhe asked, "Is it settled?"

"Yeah." Sister Yan nodded.

"But this time, the person has a noble status, is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a temperament. The price is relatively expensive, and it is considered a hemorrhage. Fortunately, he got it."

smile slightly.

"It's all been arranged, and it will be over later."

Sitting next to Xiao Ran, he poured a glass with the jug, and toasted Xiao Ran with the first glass, "Brother Xiao, I respect you!"

"Okay." Xiao Ran responded with a smile.

Drank down the wine glass.

Then Shen Yiming, Taoist Xuanyang, Gu Qiuhe, and Hu Zi did not fall behind.

After chatting with her for a while, Sister Yan left in a sensible manner.

Huzi also had good eyesight, and stood up from his chair, "What, I'll check the situation."

Gu Qiuhe waved his hand impatiently, and then drove the other women out of the room, leaving only a few of them.

"Tomorrow I plan to take a rest and go to Huang County." Xiao Ran said.

"The situation over there is very complicated, Uncle Xiao, do you really want to go there?" Gu Qiuhe expressed worry.

"En." Xiao Ran was serious.

"Zheng Qing and the others are all there, and the battle is about to start. If I don't go there, I don't feel at ease. In addition, the matter of Yaochi Holy Land has to be resolved."

Seeing that they were about to speak, he smiled and shook his head.

"You all have things to do, so you can't leave! Besides, there must be someone in the capital here, so that even if something happens, there will be someone to take care of you."

"Over there, pay attention to safety!" Shen Yiming reminded.

"I will." Xiao Ran smiled.

Looking at Gu Qiuhe.

"No news from Uncle Gu?"

"Oh!" Gu Qiuhe sighed helplessly.

"After investigating for such a long time, there is still no news. I don't know what grandpa thinks. If you can't find out, just come back. What are you still investigating?"

"He eats more salt than you eat rice, so worry about it."

Shen Yiming took over the topic, "The Niu Mozu, the Qin family, the third prince and other forces have all been resolved. Where are Princess Minmin and her maid being imprisoned?"

"The news I got is that they are still in the capital, but I don't know who made the move." Xiao Ran said.

"It's getting late. If I'm drunk tonight, I'll go ahead." Shen Yiming smiled and stood up.

Gu Qiuhe and Taoist Xuanyang were not far behind, and left with a smile.

I ate for a while.

Xiao Ran put down his chopsticks, took a tissue to wipe off the oily corners of his mouth, and walked towards the prison.

Starting tomorrow, I have to explain some things to the eldest princess and the others, and then bring Jian Twelve.

In the middle of the night.

Gu Qiuhe and the others came out of the Drunken Immortal Courtyard, looked at the torrential rain in the night sky, and cursed angrily, "This damn weather can change as soon as it changes! Before it rains, there is no sign at all."

"Here, young master!" Hu Zi ran out from inside and handed over an umbrella.

Give Shen Yiming and Taoist Xuanyang another hand.

"The weather in August is like this." Shen Yiming laughed.

"It's getting late, go back and rest early!"

"Hmm." Several people said goodbye.

Gu Qiuhe took Hu Zi and walked towards Gu's residence.

half way.

A ghost figure flashed away and rushed towards the darkness.

Gu Qiuhe stopped and looked at the direction where the ghost disappeared, and there was a faint red shadow in her hand, which seemed to be holding someone.

He has a literary spirit, a powerful force in the world, and is very sensitive to evil forces.

"did you see it?"

"I see." Hu Zi said.

"What are you still doing? Hurry up!" Gu Qiuhe shouted.

The two of them turned around and quickly caught up.

quite a while.

The red shadow was forced to Qingyun Academy, stopped in the backyard, and looked coldly at Gu Qiuhe and Huzi who were chasing them.

Three feet above the ground, wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei, very red lips, painted with rouge and gouache, fierce eyes, ghostly aura, forming a huge aura, blocking the torrential rain falling from the night sky.

He said indifferently, "I didn't bother you, you are lucky! How dare you take the initiative to trouble me?"

Gu Qiuhe and Huzi were still holding umbrellas, looking at her sarcastically.

"Lang Lang Qiankun, in broad daylight, you, a little ghost, dare to hurt the world, if you don't meet it, forget it, since you have seen it, how can you just stand by and watch?"

"Master, it's night now!" Hu Zi kindly reminded.

Snapped!

Gu Qiuhe twitched his head and gave him a hard look, "Is this important?"

Looking at the female ghost.

"Monster! Hurry up and catch him without a fight."

"Just because of you two trash?" the female ghost sneered.

The yin wind howled, rolling a huge sound, and as the ghostly aura spread over, it rushed up sharply, and slapped out its sharp claws, leaving cold lights in the night sky, ruthlessly grabbing at the hearts of Gu Qiuhe and Huzi.

"Bold and monstrous! With me here, if you want to hurt my young master, go ahead and dream!" Hu Zi snarled.

He drew his sword like lightning, and before he could make a move, Gu Qiuhe stopped him.

"Stay here and let the young master come."

"Young Master, I will sweep the formation for you." Huzi laughed.

Looking at the ghost claw that was getting closer, Gu Qiuhe made a move, his literary energy bloomed, and the milky white aura burst out, restraining all evil forces, with fierceness in the rigidity, and like the softness of sea water, endlessly long.

"Destroy!"

With a volume of literary energy, he didn't even use his martial arts, and suppressed him brutally.

There is no move at all, simple and rude, destructive, destroying these ghost aura, even the female ghost's sharp claws, and the aura blasted her body.

The huge force was completely beyond her ability to resist, and it directly hit her seriously and fell to the ground.

If Gu Qiuhe hadn't saved her life, she would have died at this moment.

"The young master is wise and martial, with powerful supernatural powers, Yushu faces the wind..."

"Okay! Don't shoot." Gu Qiuhe interrupted him.

But the head is raised high, it feels so good.

He walked up to the female ghost, stepped on her chest, and asked, "Say! Where is the person you caught?"

"You, are you from the imperial court?" The female ghost was terrified.

"It's the young master who is asking you, not you!" Gu Qiuhe stomped roughly.

The painful female ghost screamed sharply.

"In, in."

"You're smart!" Gu Qiuhe nodded in satisfaction.

With a wave of his hand, he killed her.

"Go! Let's go in."

"Young Master, I'll come first!" Hu Zi kept on guard.

Holding the knife and walking in front, he kicked open the door and walked in first. Seeing that there was no danger, he said, "Safe!"

"Look for someone!" Gu Qiuhe said.

Moving separately, Gu Qiuhe rushed inside, while Huzi was outside.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Gu Qiuhe exclaimed.

"Master, are you alright?" Hu Zi was startled, worried that he was in danger, and quickly rushed in with a knife.

Seeing that he was intact, he was puzzled, "What's your name, young master?"

"Look." Gu Qiuhe pointed to a young woman on the bed.

Already in a coma, her hands and feet were tied, her eyes were covered, and a cloth was stuffed in her mouth, but she couldn't hide her beautiful and refined face.

"Isn't it a woman? Didn't we just come out of the Drunken Immortal Academy?"

"Get out!" Gu Qiuhe kicked him angrily, and explained.

"You know what a fart! She is Xia Min, Princess Minmin, and there was a lot of trouble some time ago."

Look puzzled.

"Strange! Why is she here? Still in the hands of a female ghost?"
