Chapter 463 Mountain Eagle

She didn't know that Fang Yue was working hard to plot a thrilling action for her.

But she always had an unyielding faith in her heart, firmly believing that Dachu would be able to survive this crisis.

The eldest princess held on to her weak body and summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures again.

"Now that the three princes are pressing harder, we must come up with more effective ways to deal with it."

A minister said worriedly: "Your Royal Highness, our strength is still far behind the three princes, and their power in the court is complicated and difficult to compete with easily."

The three princes of Dachu were originally master-level masters with tyrannical strength.

In addition, they have control of the Zhenbei and Zhendong armies, which can be said to be overwhelming power.

After Fang Yue left, the royal family ancestor of Da Chu also lived in seclusion behind the scenes.

It looks like two people are not helping each other.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that although they are silent, they support the actions of the three princes.

After all, the Da Chu royal family has not had a female emperor for thousands of years.

The eldest princess's face became more and more serious. She knew that the attitude of the royal family ancestor had brought great pressure to them.

"Even so, we can't give up."

The eldest princess said firmly, "We must continue to fight for the future of Dachu, and we cannot let the ambitions of the three princes succeed."

The ministers looked at the eldest princess' resolute look and felt a surge of courage in their hearts.

A minister said: "Your Royal Highness, we can seek support from the people, arouse people's support for the orthodoxy of Da Chu, and let them understand that the behavior of the three princes is a betrayal of Da Chu."

The eldest princess nodded slightly: "This is a good plan. We want the people to see our efforts for the prosperity and stability of Chu. At the same time, we must continue to strengthen ties with all parties and look for possible allies. "

Under the leadership of the eldest princess, the ministers began to take active actions.

They sent envoys to go deep into the people to publicize the eldest princess's fair stance and plans for the future of Da Chu.

The people began to express sympathy for the eldest princess's situation, and some knowledgeable people also came forward to support the eldest princess.

At the same time, in a luxurious mansion in the capital of Da Chu. The three princes secretly planned their next move.

The leading prince's face was gloomy, and his eyes revealed a stern look. "The eldest princess's voice among the people is getting louder and louder now. We cannot sit idly by and do nothing. We must take action as soon as possible to suppress her power."

Another prince frowned slightly and said: "Although the support of those people is not something to be afraid of, if the eldest princess really recruits some powerful forces, it will be extremely detrimental to us."

The third prince thought for a moment and said: "We can use the attitude of the royal ancestors to create pressure from public opinion, so that more people think that the eldest princess's behavior is against the laws of the ancestors. At the same time, we must strengthen the control of Zhenbei and Zhendong. The control of both armies ensures that they fully obey our command."

After conferring, the three princes were preparing to leave.

At this moment, a figure appeared in the room.

The three princes were all startled and immediately became alert. The leading prince shouted angrily: "Who is it? How dare you break into this place without permission!"

The figure was unhurried and slowly revealed its figure. I saw this man dressed in black, with a stern face, and a mysterious light in his eyes.

"Three princes, you are well." The man in black said in a low voice.

"Who are you? What is your purpose?" Another prince asked with a frown.

The man in black smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is that I can provide you with an excellent opportunity to completely defeat the eldest princess."

The three princes looked at each other, filled with doubts.

But then, the leader said with a smile: "Dealing with the eldest princess is just a piece of cake for us!"

"Really, but what if we add another great master, such as Fang Yue!" the mysterious man said noncommittally.

When the three princes heard this, their expressions changed slightly.

They knew that the Grand Master's strength was very important. If Fang Yue really became the helper of the eldest princess, their plan would be greatly hindered.

The leading prince narrowed his eyes, stared at the man in black, and said: "That Fang Yue has returned to the Wei Dynasty. Even the great master cannot be so far away to interfere in the affairs of our Chu Dynasty!"

"Haha, if I told you, then Fang Yue has secretly sneaked back!"

As soon as these words came out, the three princes immediately looked at each other.

They know that if what this person says is true.

So for them, it is really a big trouble.

It is very likely that all their plans will fail.

The leading prince said solemnly: "Tell me your conditions."

The man in black raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "My conditions are very simple. After everything is accomplished, I will gain status and power in Dachu."

The three princes thought for a moment and felt that this condition was acceptable.

After all, as long as we can get rid of the eldest princess and control Dachu, it doesn't matter if we give the man in black some power.

"Okay, as long as you can help us defeat the eldest princess and Fang Yue, we agree to your terms." The third prince said.

The man in black nodded and began to describe his plan.

“Although Fang Yue is a great master, he also has weaknesses.

We can use his feelings for the eldest princess to set a trap and lure him into the bait.

At the same time, we must continue to suppress the reputation of the eldest princess among the people and make people doubt her.

In addition, we should strengthen the control over the Zhenbei and Zhendong armies to ensure that they can be used by us at critical moments. "

The three princes listened to the plan of the man in black, and gradually showed excitement in their eyes. The leading prince said: "This plan is very good, we will start to arrange it immediately. "

Then, the three princes began to act according to the plan of the men in black.

On the one hand, they spread rumors among the people to discredit the reputation of the princess, and on the other hand, they secretly set traps, waiting for Fang Yue to fall into the trap.

In the palace, the princess did not know the new conspiracy of the three princes.

She was still trying to win the support of various forces and fight for the future of Da Chu.

At this time, Fang Yue was quietly heading towards the capital of Da Chu.

Fang Yue disguised himself as an ordinary scholar and mixed in a caravan heading to the capital of Da Chu.

He acted low-key and kept an eye on the movements around him.

Along the way, he heard a lot of rumors about the princess and the three princes.

The people's attitude towards the princess seemed to be a little wavering, which made Fang Yue even more worried.

He knew that the conspiracy of the three princes was taking effect, and he must find a way to break this situation as soon as possible.

But in more than a month, they were close to the capital of Da Chu.

"Brother, why did you bring that scholar? How much food did we waste along the way. ”

In front of the caravan, a heroic woman frowned and said to the man beside her with some dissatisfaction.

The man shook his head slightly and said softly: "Little sister, don't be rude. Although the scholar looks weak, his words and deeds along the way are all dignified, maybe there is something extraordinary about him. Besides, when we are out, we should help others if we can, which can also be regarded as accumulating some good karma for us. "

The woman curled her lips, but didn't say anything more.

At this time, Fang Yue heard their conversation and didn't care.

He didn't want to attract too much attention, so he followed the caravan more low-key.

As for what others think of him, he didn't care.

The caravan continued to move forward.

It was about to reach the next stop.

But at this moment, a noisy sound of horse hooves sounded.

Soon, hundreds of knights appeared in front and on both sides.

These people held various swords and knives, wearing animal skins, and all kinds of hideous patterns were painted on their faces.

Especially on the head of a burly bandit, there stood an eagle.

It turned out to be the famous bandit in Da Chu, Zuo Shanying.

"Haha, listen to the caravan in front, leave all the women and property behind and I will spare your life! "Zuoshanying shouted loudly, his voice as loud as a bell.

The caravan was immediately in panic.

The man's face was solemn, and he held the weapon tightly in his hand, ready to lead the guards to resist the bandits.

The woman bit her lip, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Brother, our route is absolutely confidential. How did these bandits know we were going here? It must be that scholar, he was the only one who joined in the middle!"

The woman's tone was full of suspicion and anger.

The man frowned slightly, and his eyes looked at Fang Yue with a little more scrutiny.

But he was very shrewd after all, and did not directly doubt the other party, and knew that this was not the time for internal strife.

He didn't say anything immediately, but clasped his fists towards the bandit leader and said:

He didn't say anything immediately, but clasped his fists towards the bandit leader and said: "This king, we are just an ordinary caravan, and we didn't carry much wealth on this trip. I hope the king will show mercy and let us go. I will prepare a generous gift in the future to thank the king for not killing us. ”

The Mountain Eagle was unmoved and sneered: "Stop talking nonsense, hand over the women and property quickly, otherwise I will kill you without mercy."

The man's heart sank, knowing that this matter would not end well.

He looked back at the caravan, his eyes full of determination.

He whispered to the woman: "Little sister, if the situation is not good later, you will find a chance to lead everyone to break through."

The woman bit her lip, with a look of determination in her eyes, and said: "Brother, I will not abandon you."

At this time, the caravan man spoke again: "I, Zhou Huaian, am a disciple of Qiankun Mountain. I hope that the king will not look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, and let our caravan go. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay the king's kindness today. "

Hearing this, Zuoshanying narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of hesitation on his face.

Qiankun Mountain is also a well-known sect in Dachu, and he had to consider the consequences of offending Qiankun Mountain.

But he was unwilling to let go of the fat meat in his mouth.

After thinking for a moment, Zuoshanying said: "Humph, even if you are a disciple of Qiankun Mountain, so what? If you don't leave your wealth and women today, none of you can leave."

Zhou Huaian's face sank. It seemed that Zuoshanying did not intend to let them go easily.

He clenched the weapon in his hand and prepared to fight the bandits to the death.

"Little guys, kill them, kill them all, and no one will know that it was us who did it!"

At Zuoshanying's command, the bandits were ready to move again, waving their weapons and rushing towards the caravan.

Zhou Huaian's eyes were wide open, and he shouted: "Don't be afraid, fight them! "

The caravan's guards also raised their weapons, and in an instant, the two sides fought together.

Zhou Huaian and the woman led the guards to fight bravely. With the advantage of terrain and tenacious fighting spirit, they successfully resisted the first wave of attacks from the bandits.

Although the bandits were numerous, their movements were greatly restricted on the narrow hillside.

The guards of the caravan cooperated well and continued to cause casualties to the bandits.

Zuoshanying was furious as he watched his men fall down.

He roared and personally led a group of elite bandits to rush towards the caravan.

He waved the big knife in his hand, unstoppable.

Seeing this, Zhou Huaian went forward fearlessly.

He and Zuoshanying started a fierce battle, and the two of them fought back and forth, with swords flashing and sabers flying.

The woman assisted the guards to resist the attacks of other bandits, and kept an eye on Zhou Huaian's battle situation.

After all, he was a disciple of a famous sect, and his strength was much stronger than that of Zuoshanying. For a while, Zhou Huaian actually had the upper hand.

However, just when Zhou Huaian thought he had won.

Suddenly, from a corner beside him, a caravan guard quietly sneaked over, and took advantage of Zhou Huaian's concentration on fighting Zuoshanying, and suddenly launched a sneak attack.

The sharp blade in the guard's hand flashed with cold light, and stabbed Zhou Huaian's side fiercely.

Zhou Huaian felt a sharp pain and staggered involuntarily.

He widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief. He never expected that he would be attacked by his own people.

The woman saw this scene and screamed: "Brother!"

She wanted to rush over, but was stopped by several bandits and couldn't get away.

Seeing this, Zuo Shanying laughed: "Boy, no matter how powerful you are, you can't escape death today."

After that, he raised the big knife again and chopped at the injured Zhou Huaian.

When the caravan saw Zhou Huaian was attacked and injured, they were panicked and their morale dropped.

The bandits took the opportunity to attack more fiercely, and the caravan's defense line was about to collapse.

Fang Yue saw this chaotic situation from the side and sighed slightly in his heart.

Originally, he just wanted to sneak into the Great Chu Imperial City safely, but there are always people who don't have eyes.

Seeing that the caravan was about to collapse, Fang Yue decided to take action immediately.

Fang Yue flashed and appeared in front of Zhou Huaian like a ghost.

Zuoshanying's big knife fell down, but was caught steadily by Fang Yue.

Zuoshanying felt that his knife seemed to have chopped on a mountain, and it didn't move at all.

He widened his eyes and was shocked.

Fang Yue looked at Zuoshanying coldly and said, "Stop it."

His voice was not loud, but it was full of unquestionable majesty.

Zuoshanying's heart trembled, and he felt the powerful aura emanating from Fang Yue.

The bandits were also frightened by Fang Yue's momentum and stopped attacking one after another.

Fang Yue glanced at the bandits and said, "Today's matter ends here. If you dare to entangle again, don't blame me for being rude." (End of this chapter)
