Chapter 79 Chapter 79 Finale (Part 1)

About half an hour after Yuan Jiyin left that night, someone brought a snowstorm to the capital.

He walked hurriedly and his figure was familiar. It was not until the man took off his hat that Shen Rang saw a turning point in the situation.

It’s Ling Feng.

Ling Feng cut the iron chains and shackles of the cell. He made sure that Chen Ping'an was safe before going to rescue Yu Shu who was imprisoned in another place.

"Why are you here?" Shen Rang asked with a frown.

"That day, Cuicui accompanied the eldest princess into the palace and specifically told me that Master and Yushu had been imprisoned in the dungeon by the eldest princess."

Thanks to Cuicui's help, the journey into the mansion was relatively smooth.

Ling Feng had been in charge of the Imperial Guards for a long time, so even rescuing Shen Rang from the Princess's Mansion was no problem for him.

What's more, it was His Majesty who ordered Ling Feng to rescue Master Shen.

Although Yuan Che could not understand why his elder sister's temperament kept changing, the elder sister now was the one in Yuan Che's memory, the one who was decisive, resolute, and unconcerned with love.

As for Chen Rang, who had plotted to get my sister out of the court, my sister would never tolerate him in the slightest.

Even though they have become husband and wife, Yuan Jiyin doesn't care.

As Yu Shu was leaving the Princess's residence, he asked, "Should we take Cuicui with us? It's too dangerous for her to stay with the Princess alone!"

Chen Rang shook his head, looking at the ostentatious plaque of the mansion, his brows condensed into a layer of satisfaction. "Not right. Even though Yuan Jiyin is cruel and ruthless, she is still kind to this girl. She has not tortured me for so many days, but I don't know what medicine she is selling in the gourd."

After a long silence, Shen Rang suddenly figured something out.

He suddenly opened the curtain and said to Ling Feng, "Send a message to the Liangzhou guards as soon as possible to inquire about their current situation!"

After Ling Feng understood, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. After nodding and instructing the royal guards beside him, he immediately turned his horse around and rode away.

Shen Rang entered the palace and immediately met the emperor.

He looked at Yuan Che and said without hesitation, "I'm afraid... Yuan Jiyin is going to rebel."

Yuan Che knew that his elder sister had been coveting this position for a long time, but he thought that since his elder sister had just returned, he should be able to take some time off.

Why...

It came so fast! ?

Yuan Che's throat tightened and his voice trembled.

After all, he was just a child, and he tried his best to steady his hands and stop them from shaking.

But it just wouldn't obey, and the constant shaking made Yuan Che unable to hide his panic.

Without losing a beat, Chen Rang said, "I've never been able to understand why Yuan Jiyin didn't just kill me outright, but instead placed Yushu and I under house arrest, apart from resentment."

"It proves... I'm still useful. But there are some things I can't know right now," Chen Rang licked his dry lips and took a sip of hot tea. "I thought of Yuan Chan and Cui Yan, who killed Yuan Chan. Everything is interconnected, proving that the person behind this is even more powerful."

"I was wondering why the war in Southern Xinjiang happened to coincide with the death of the military governor. The situation in Southern Xinjiang became so intense that the imperial court had no choice but to withdraw half of the Eight Great Battalions stationed in Kyoto. But why was it such a coincidence that the Liangzhou rebellion occurred just after the Eight Great Battalions left?!"

"As for the person behind Cui Yan, even if the Cui family refuses to reveal it, a thorough investigation of the whereabouts of Cui's daughter over the years," Shen Rang's eyes flashed with cruelty, "turned out that they had connections with the daughter of Fengyang Prince Yuan Shen. And all this happened just last month, because Xie Heng brought reinforcements from Southern Xinjiang to rescue Su Su... which is... uh..."

"I know, Sister Susu." Yuan Che's eyes, which had long lost their ignorance, were now filled with calmness.

Chen Rang's eyes flashed with surprise, but he nodded and said, "Susu mentioned to me that she heard the Southern Xinjiang warriors occasionally talk about the news that the prince will be getting married soon."

"So... Young Master's point is that the Cui family arranged a marriage for their youngest with Prince Fengyang long ago, which was how they were able to pave Miss Cui's future in such a short time."

"Yes, I ordered Ling Feng to check and found out that the boat that the Cui family used to send Miss Cui away was heading to Cangzhou, which is the nearest port and checkpoint in southern Xinjiang." Shen Rang twisted his fingertips and glanced at the pastries on the table. Suddenly, a sour taste rose in his nose.

In the past twenty-six years of Shen Rang and twenty-four years of Shen Xingchi, he had never missed anyone so much.

"Young Master? Young Master?"

Shen Rang's thoughts were finally brought back to reality. He said, "Oh, so the King of Fengyang is the ultimate culprit. The person Yuan Jiyin is really working with is Yuan Shen, and if my guess is correct... they are almost arriving in Jiazhou."

"But... Southern Xinjiang still experienced a fierce battle. Even if the battle situation was falsely reported, it still hurt its vitality." Yuan Che frowned.

Chen Rang nodded and said, "That's exactly what I'm wondering about. If Southern Xinjiang is colluding with Liangzhou, it would cause a lot of trouble. It's impossible that the surrounding counties wouldn't react at all."

Suddenly, Shen Rang looked at the territory on the map that was closely adjacent to Southern Xinjiang: "Unless, Southern Xinjiang has no intention of colluding with Liangzhou at all!"

Suddenly, Yuan Che's heart skipped a beat: "Master, what you mean is... Northern Qi!"

"Northern Qi has long been weaker than before. Instead of competing with the big countries, it is better to support Prince Fengyang to defeat the Great Zhou and successfully ascend to the throne." Shen Rang's eyes widened, and red bloodshot slowly climbed up the whites of his eyes.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the palace, and the eldest companion was heard stumbling and hurriedly saying outside the study: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, urgent military intelligence!" Yuan Che's heart sank: "Enter."

The urgent report was exactly the same as Shen Rang's inference, and Yuan Che closed his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the New Year's Eve of his sixth year in office turned out to be a turbulent year.

It was no different from when my elder sister forced me to ascend the throne by stepping on mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Maybe.

Yuan Che was too young at the time, unable to understand the difference between sadness and joy, and unable to understand the feeling of being surrounded by wolves.

Yuan Che has now experienced many twists and turns, and has understood the joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the hypocrisy of feelings.

Shen Rang said in awe, "Your Majesty, immediately mobilize the border guards of the capital and order the thirteen passes to be strictly guarded. We must delay the army's passage! Quickly send Marquis Xie to lead his troops to assist us!"

"Okay!" Yuan Che agreed, "Order the Minister of War and the Cabinet Doctors to come see me immediately!"

That night, the meeting lasted until dawn. Shen Rang stayed in the palace during this period. When he returned to the side hall.

When he smelled the sweet scent of gardenia, he was stunned for a long time and his scalp went numb.

Chen Rang never thought that missing someone so deeply would feel like this.

He quickly washed up and lay on the bed, summoning the system to ask some questions about Su Su's time travel.

[System: Sorry, host, this system can only answer questions about you.]

"She is my wife, how can she not be a part of me?" Shen Rang argued back in the system.

[System: You just need to complete the system task as soon as possible. After completing it, you can travel back to the original world.]

Shen Rang: "I ##@D#@#%#%"

System: I don’t want to listen, you are just a turtle chanting sutras.

…

The next day, the news that had caused a sensation in the Ministry of War and the Cabinet last night naturally spread throughout the court in just one night.

However, the eldest princess had already left without a trace, which was something Shen Rang had expected early on.

After Shen Rang was rescued last night, his secret guards secretly followed the princess away and were able to send back messages to the princess at any time.

With Meng Yu's presence, Shen Rang was not sure whether these secret guards could remain completely undetected, but it was good enough to know the direction they left.

His Majesty did not summon all the civil and military officials to discuss this matter in the Taiji Hall. After the incident with Cui Yan, he understood in his heart that few of these court officials would not be swayed by huge interests and the safety of their families.

He was just performing sand table simulation with a few ministers and the adults present last night.

This was Yuan Che's first time viewing the sand table. If the king of a country had to personally view the sand table, it must mean that the army was approaching.

The Minister of War simulated the situation on a sand table and said, "Your Majesty, Pingdu Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. To minimize losses... I suggest that the Jiazhou guards immediately head to Pingdu Mountain to buy time for Lord Xie to enter the capital."

Shen Rang asked, "How many guards are there in Shangjing?"

The Minister of War said in a deep voice, "The eight battalions have suffered heavy losses. Now, with the 20,000 men selected for the battalions, the twelve defense lines in the capital each have 1,000 men remaining, which makes 12,000 men. Add to that the 1,000 Imperial Guards and 2,000 Imperial Guards in the palace. We still have 35,000 men left. How can we possibly withstand the 200,000-man army of Northern Qi and Southern Xinjiang?"

"By then, even if Lord Xie's 100,000 elite soldiers arrive, I'm afraid they will be unable to contend with them." An old man in the cabinet sighed and sat dejectedly on the chair.

The hall fell silent, and everyone looked at Shen Rang in unison for the breakthrough point of this deadlock.

Shen Rang was silent for a long time, then he sat in the dark and looked up and said, "Don't worry, we will just adapt to the situation when the time comes."

Everyone looked at each other and sighed. It seemed that even Master Shen had no other tricks now...

Battle reports were transmitted every day. Pingdu Mountain also fought hard with 30,000 soldiers fighting against the 200,000-strong army, which bought Lord Xie three full days.

However, the battle situation was extremely tense, and Pingdu Mountain was completely razed to the ground.

The last battle report from Pingdu Mountain was stained with blood.

This is the cruelty of war, until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Dark clouds were gathering, and the tremors in the distance could be heard in the imperial palace.

The defense line of Gyeonggi Province was jointly guarded by the Xie family army.

The Imperial Guards and the Royal Guards jointly guard the palace, protecting His Majesty's safety both inside and outside.

Lin Zhuo and Shen Rang simulated the battle on the sand table and deployed their troops.

Xie Heng and Yan Gui, who came to support them, led the troops to hold the last line of defense outside the palace. This battle can only be won, not lost! !

But they never imagined that in the midst of the fighting outside, Northern Qi actually paved a way for Yuan Jiyin and helped her seize the throne.

Yuan Jiyin was dressed in a heroic battle robe and the golden armor on her body was invulnerable to swords and spears.

This was the last birthday gift left by the late emperor to Yuan Jiyin.

She wanted to put on the golden armor given by her father and personally climb to the top of the crowd.

But Xie Heng never imagined that the eldest princess would rebel.

It was clear that when they parted in Liangzhou, she and Shen Rang were still in love, and she clearly wanted to go back to Ningzhou and be a salted fish every day.

How come it has become like this in just a few months?

Or in other words, the past has been restored.

However, when Yuan Jiyin approached, she saw another person on the horse beside her.

It was Princess Hua Zhao who married into the Northern Qi Dynasty!

No wonder the southern border is so confident this time and dares to mobilize all its forces without fear of being attacked from both sides.

It turned out that he had colluded with the Queen Mother of Northern Qi early on.

"Hua Zhao, you managed to seize power in Northern Qi in such a short time? Do you have a clear conscience for aiding and abetting the evil?" Xie Heng underestimated the princess.

Hua Zhao's every frown and smile has long lost the childishness of the past. In a foreign country, one wrong step can lead to an abyss.

She took great pains to plot the death of the Northern Qi emperor and then killed his only son.

He fought openly and secretly with the Queen Mother of Northern Qi, and finally caught her in the fact that the Queen Mother had mutually beneficial dealings with the northern border and had embezzled a full 5,000 taels of silver from the court.

This completely chilled the hearts of the court officials, who stripped the empress dowager of her power and moved her to a temporary palace.

It’s a pity that the Queen Mother died of a sudden illness due to the bumpy journey.

Because he has committed a serious crime, it is not easy to announce the death.

This is Hua Zhao's method.

Not a bit worse than Yuan Jiyin.

Yes, birds of a feather flock together after all.

Xie Heng drew his sword and pointed it at Yuan Jiyin, saying, "Although I don't know why Your Highness would rebel, but now that we have an army upon us, please don't blame us for forgetting our old friendship."

Suddenly, Yan Gui shot an arrow at Yuan Jiyin.

Meng Yu and the Jinwu Guards suddenly rushed out to protect Yuan Jiyin.

Almost no knives, guns, sticks or clubs can touch her at all.

She raised her eyebrows and chuckled, as if looking at an ant in the world.

"Xie Heng, actually I don't want you to die, but you have to die because you are going against the will of heaven." Yuan Jiyin watched the fight between Xie Heng and Meng Yu becoming increasingly difficult.

Yuan Jiyin looked down on everyone, playfully twisting the blood on her fingers and sneeringly saying, "General Xie, why are you trying to fight a rock with an egg? Why not just let us in? I'll spare you the punishment later, okay?"

"Bah! You traitors!" Xie Heng kicked Meng Yu in the stomach. "You all deserve a miserable death!"

With a "swoosh", the long arrow pierced through the air and went straight towards Meng Yu's eyes. He was restrained by Xie Heng and could not dodge the arrow at all.

Then a painful scream rang out, but was drowned out by the roar of killing.

Soon, Yuan Shen led a team of personal guards to break through the city gate, with their long swords pointing directly at the palace gate.

The palace gate was broken, and the imperial guards and the royal guards fired thousands of arrows, injuring many of the Fengyang King's troops.

But they could only resist for a while. The Xie family army was fighting desperately outside and could not take care of the comfort of the palace.

It is too difficult for Xie Heng, Yan Gui and Ling Feng to defeat the majority with a small number of people.

Suddenly, a man came out from the high platform.

He was wearing a cloak, with a crane patch visible from the inside.

Shen Rang's skin was fair, and the snow made it look even whiter.

As soon as he came out, he looked at the face that was still the most eye-catching in the crowd, even though he knew very well that she was no longer his Su Su.

But I still get distracted for a while.

Shen Rang came to his senses and looked at Yuan Shen. "Prince Fengyang, Southern Xinjiang just won a victory. Why are you so anxious to return to the capital to report on your work?"

Yuan Shen sneered: "Chen Rang, I often heard your name in the border areas. Logically speaking, we are all family. Uncle Wang has something to discuss with His Majesty. Please ask your nephew-in-law to make way for Uncle Wang Rang."

Shen Rang's face darkened. "You came uninvited without His Majesty's summons. Yuan Shen, are you planning a rebellion against the emperor?"

"What's more, we have no relationship with the rebels. My wife is someone else, and she has never been her from the beginning to the end." Shen Rang's voice was sonorous and powerful, and he looked at Yuan Jiyin with contempt.

Yuan Jiyin snorted coldly, "It's just nonsense from a dying man. Uncle Wang, let's stop wasting time with Shen Rang and charge directly into the Taiji Palace to seize power!!"

Suddenly, a murderous aura surrounded the entire palace gate and the area in front of the hall was filled with corpses and blood.

When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?

Shen Rang took off his cloak and approached Yuan Jiyin with a sword in hand.

His only target was Yuan Jiyin, but Yuan Jiyin didn't seem afraid at all.

"Chen Rang, you want to kill me? Aren't you afraid that you will never see Yuan Susu again?" Yuan Jiyin raised her eyebrows and sneered.

Shen Rang frowned. What does this have to do with Su Su?
