Apocalypse people, sneaking into the city?

Nan Gu King's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he couldn't help but hold them with his hands before continuing, "How many people are there?"

"Currently, more than 20 people have voluntarily exposed themselves."

More than twenty people were not too many. King Nan Gu and his courtiers all breathed a sigh of relief: "Since they haven't left the city yet, there's no need to leave. The city gates must be guarded tightly. We must not let them escape!"

"yes!"

"Everyone, the envoy of Tianqi is so unscrupulous, we don't need to pay attention to any etiquette. Why don't we follow Tianqi's example and kill first and report later."

Everyone agreed.

King Nan Gu's expression softened slightly. "Then, who's willing to lead the troops and slay the thieves?"

Deathly silence.

The veins on his forehead throbbed wildly. "I ask again, is there anyone willing to take the initiative to lead the troops?"

It was still deathly silent.

They had seen the fighting power of Jiang Zhiyu and Jiang Wenjing, and they had been in Nan Gu for such a long time without being poisoned, which was enough to prove that they were not threatened by the poisonous insects.

The most powerful thing they have here is the poisonous insect.

If you are not afraid of the poisonous insects and just fight with force, isn't that courting death?

Take the initiative to lead the troops?

Isn’t the subconscious mind saying that if anyone of you is tired of living, why don’t you go and die?

The hand that King Nan Gu had been pressing on the corner of his eye had moved to the armrest at some point. He held the armrest tightly, and his eyes like eagle hooks scanned the crowd.

"Gunta, are you willing?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to contribute to Nan Gu, but I am old after all, and I am afraid that I will be unable to do so and ruin your great cause!"

The snake on his crutch was also lying flat on its back, spitting out its tongue.

After giving him a glare, King Nan Gu's eyes moved to other people again, and he pointed at several of them in succession, all of whom said the same thing to Gongta.

The Southern Gu King's blood boiled, and he stood up suddenly. "Just Shan Tai, I give you three days to bring their heads to me, or you will no longer be an elder!"

After he finished speaking, he turned away, and Shan Tai stood there.

The ministers looked at him sympathetically and left. In a blink of an eye, Shan Tai was the only one left in the hall.

Shan Tai's eyes were like a poisonous snake, cold and slippery, staring at the direction where the Southern Gu King left.

…

On the other side, Jiang Bojian was successfully brought into the palace.

He did not go to the imperial study, but went directly into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jiang Kangan and Xu Yanli.

After paying his respects to the emperor, Jiang Bojian called out crisply, "Grandfather, big brother."

Xu Yanli and Jiang Kangan both nodded slightly in response.

The plan was not hidden from Jiang Bojian, so when Xiao Yanli came to him, Jiang Bojian actually did not believe every word he said.

But when he saw Xu Yanli and Jiang Kangan appear here, he suddenly became a little uncertain.

Shouldn't my grandfather and elder brother be in the imperial prison at this time?

Why are you here?

Understanding his confusion, Jiang Kangan asked, "Xiao Yanli came to see you. What did he say to you?"

"He said there was a fire in the mansion, and no one escaped except my sister. He also asked if we had offended anyone and paid special attention to my second sister."

The second sister refers to Jiang Zhiyu. After learning about Song Shiwei's true identity, Jiang Bojian kicked her out of the family.

As for the one born to Mrs. Du, he was not included in Jiang Bojian's ranking from the beginning.

"Brother, what he said can't be true, why did you come out?"

When they brought Jiang Bojian here, everyone deliberately bypassed the Xu Mansion, so Jiang Bojian didn't see it.

Jiang Kang calmed him down for a moment: "It's true that they were attacked, but it's false that no one escaped. However, in the Xu Mansion, only Grandma, Sulan and Ah Fu escaped."

While Jiang Bojian was feeling relieved, his eyes gradually turned red.

There are hundreds of lives lost in the Xu family!

Xiao Yanli!

The emperor beside him suddenly spoke up, "It's not necessarily true that there are only three of them."

Seeing their eyes looking at him, the emperor said with a smile: "The bodies have been counted, and the number does not add up. Moreover, some of those dressed as Jinyiwei corpses are actually assassins. If you count them, most of the people in Xu Mansion and Jinyiwei are still alive."

And according to what Xiao Yanli asked Jiang Bojian, Xiao Yanli didn't even know that these people were still alive, so they were definitely not in his hands.

!!!

This is really a blessing in disguise.

The expressions of several people suddenly relaxed.

And if we want to investigate, there is actually only one option for those who are capable of doing this.

A name suddenly popped up in everyone's mind.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a few muffled coughs from inside. Xu Yanli's face changed and he rushed in.

Others followed closely behind.

On the bed, Tan Shujing half sat up, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, and Jiang Sulan stroked her back.

"You guys keep coughing...you guys keep going. I was just coughing, I just couldn't hold it back any longer." Tan Shujing raised her eyes and looked at Xu Yanli who was walking over. "Don't worry about the coughing, I..."

Xu Yanli frowned slightly: "Why are you coughing like this? What did the imperial physician say?"

Jiang Sulan replied, "I inhaled too much smoke and it blocked my throat. I'll be fine once I cough it out."

Xu Yanli still looked at Tan Shujing worriedly.

"Okay, listen to what the imperial physicians said, cough cough, it's all fine," Tan Shujing pointed at the cup. Xu Yanli took it and Tan Shujing took a sip, moistening her throat. "It was just choking. Just rest for a while, cough."

"Just now I heard you say that most of the people in the mansion are still alive?"

Xu Yanli nodded.

"That's good, that's good, ahem." Tan Shujing raised the corner of her mouth: "We are all old people who have stayed in the mansion for most of our lives. Fortunately, it was that kid from the He family who did it, right?"

"I told you he's a good kid, but you still can't stand it, cough cough cough."

She started coughing violently again.

"Yes, yes, good girl, you are right. Stop talking and have a good rest." Xu Yanli let her lie down flat. "Take good care of yourself during this period of time and don't worry about anything. Sulan will accompany you. If you feel stuffy in the house, let her accompany you for a walk."

Tan Shujing was about to speak, but seeing his disapproving look, she smiled and nodded.

Knowing that they couldn't say much about their grandmother's current condition, Jiang Kang'an and Jiang Bojian just watched at the door.

If she walked in, my grandmother would definitely not be able to control herself.

Seeing her lying down, the two brothers came out one after another.

The emperor also came out: "According to the news I have received, we are ready to declare war on Nan Gu. Given the current situation, we can conquer Nan Gu in a month at most."

"Once Xiao Yanli receives this news, he will definitely do everything he can to fight to the death."

When he completely thought that he had won, that was the day of his death.

Jiang Kangan raised the corner of his mouth.

At first, he only listened to Zhiyu's thoughts, but he was still very puzzled as to why Zhiyu had to make a plan and force Xiao Yanli to rebel step by step.

It was not until he secretly sent someone to test it that he realized it.

Xiao Yanli and Song Shiwei are simply impossible to kill!
