Chapter 531 His life must be saved by me

"Mr. Xue, please stop talking nonsense here. Not long ago, my father said that he would make me the crown prince after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

As soon as Nan Qi finished speaking, two ministers who supported him stood up to speak for him.

"The Emperor did say this. We were both present at the time, so it's impossible for him to lie."

At the same time, Nanrui had ordered his private soldiers to be ready to take action at any time.

Prime Minister Xue was no exception. The emperor's whereabouts in the palace were unknown, and it was impossible to ask him about the whereabouts of the imperial seal.

Now that they have controlled the court for a long time, and fearing any changes, he can only go all out and take over the power completely.

Now that we have made a choice, we can no longer keep the two princes in front of us.

Almost at the same time as Nan Rui, Prime Minister Xue waved to the team behind him, signaling them to prepare for battle.

When Mo Jiuye saw Prime Minister Xue, he immediately remembered the dirty things he had done to the Mo family, and the anger in his heart burned uncontrollably.

He Zhiran also felt the same way, and she gently pushed Mo Jiuye's arm.

"Husband, this man must be dealt with today."

The two men were located at a high place, and were quite far away from Prime Minister Xue. It was estimated that they were at least 500 meters away.

At this distance, if you want to kill the enemy with one shot, the best weapon is a sniper rifle.

He Zhiran had just taken out the sniper rifle from the space when Mo Jiuye took it over.

"Ranran, let me come."

He Zhiran could hear that there was no warmth in Mo Jiuye's tone at this moment, and it even made people feel cold all over. It can be seen that he hated Prime Minister Xue to the extreme.

In fact, He Zhiran didn't intend to let Mo Jiuye take action. After all, she was more skilled in using the sniper rifle.

After all, there is only one chance for this kind of assassination, whether in modern times or ancient times.

Moreover, sniper rifles make a lot of noise, and firing a shot will definitely alert everyone and make them look in their direction.

So, regardless of whether the assassination of Prime Minister Xue was successful or not, He Zhiran planned to take Mo Jiuye with him to hide in the space after it was over and come out when it was safer.

"Husband, you..." Can you do it?

Before He Zhiran could finish her questioning words, Mo Jiuye gave her a determined look.

"Old thief Xue and my Mo family have an irreconcilable feud. I must take his life."

What's more, in Mo Jiuye's heart, his wife is a delicate daughter of a wealthy family, and is not suitable for such fighting and killing.

Of course, what happened in the past could only be blamed on his incompetence as a husband.

He Zhiran thought about what the Xue family had done to the Mo family. He really would not be willing to accept it if he didn't let Mo Jiuye do it himself.

"Okay, don't be nervous. Use the sight to find your position before shooting."

In fact, He Zhiran still underestimated Mo Jiuye's enthusiasm for these weapons.

In the past, when he was fiddling with the sniper rifle in space, what he often did was to aim the scope at something and then pretend to pull the trigger.

As she finished speaking, the sniper rifle in Mo Jiuye's hand had already been aimed at Prime Minister Xue's eyebrows.

The deafening gunshot indeed attracted everyone's attention.

Of course, the attention quickly shifted from the source of the sound to Prime Minister Xue, who had a bloody hole between his eyebrows.

Before being discovered, He Zhiran pulled Mo Jiuye and slipped into the space together.

Prime Minister Xue died suddenly, and chaos broke out in front of the palace.

Nan Yu first guessed that this matter was closely related to Mo Jiuye and his wife.

After silently thanking him in his heart, he said to Nan Qi and Nan Rui: "Now that Prime Minister Xue is dead, it is a good time to attack the palace."

It is impossible that there are only a few thousand people brought by Prime Minister Xue in the palace. After all, the Queen also needs a lot of manpower to help her find the whereabouts of the Emperor.

Nan Qi and Nan Rui were both aware of this.

Nan Qi thought about the situation where the enemy outnumbered us, and although he knew that what Nan Yu said made sense, he still didn't dare to attack rashly.

It was different for Nan Rui. Nan Yu did not hide his identity from him, so naturally he would not hide the fact that Emperor Shunwu gave him a token to mobilize troops into the city.

Therefore, in Nanrui's mind, they are fully confident in this operation.

Besides, Mo Jiuye has already sent a signal to Nan Yu, and the army of 20,000 people will arrive soon.

Nanrui ordered his men without hesitation to rush into the palace immediately.

Nan Qi hesitated again and again. Seeing that Nan Rui, who was usually much more cowardly than himself, had taken action, if he chose to wait and see, he would probably be laughed at.

For this reason, he had no choice but to order his men to join the battle.

The sudden death of Prime Minister Xue caused his subordinates to fall into a brief panic.

However, they were quickly brought back to their senses by the other side's shouts and cries of killing.

Several generals who defected to the Xue family camp were thinking quickly at this moment. Although Prime Minister Xue was dead, the Queen Mother and the Fourth Prince were still there.

They have witnessed what the Queen and her party have done over the past few days.

Moreover, there are still a lot of troops in the palace, and the two or three thousand people brought by the two princes are not worth mentioning at all.

After thinking it over, they exchanged glances with each other and then directed their men to charge forward.

"Kill them all and avenge the Prime Minister."

The news of Prime Minister Xue's death soon reached the Queen's ears. Upon hearing that her father was dead, the Queen not only showed no worry, but even revealed a sinister smile.

At this moment, a person walked out from behind the screen.

If Mo Jiuye saw this person, he would definitely be shocked.

Because this person is Prime Minister Xue.

And the scapegoat he had just found was Prime Minister Xue, who had been shot in the head by him with a sniper rifle.

I can only say that Prime Minister Xue is really cunning and calculating at every step.

He thought that after he controlled the emperor, many people would think that this matter was related to him. If someone was so foolish as to target him to find the emperor's whereabouts, his life would definitely be in danger.

Therefore, the person who went to the city gate to confront the Nanyu brothers today was his substitute.

That’s how the old fox saved his life temporarily.

When the Queen saw Prime Minister Xue coming out, she asked, "Father, it seems they really have murderous intentions towards you. What should we do next?"

"Now that things have come to this point, we have no way out. As long as we take down Nan Qi and Nan Rui together, we won't have to worry about anything in the future." Prime Minister Xue's face was gloomy. When he talked about Nan Qi and Nan Rui, he even regarded them as dead.

The Queen didn't take Nan Qi and Nan Rui seriously at all, but she never liked to be careless in doing things.

After receiving instructions from Prime Minister Xue, she immediately ordered all the soldiers in the palace to temporarily stop searching for the whereabouts of Emperor Shunwu. Some of them stayed behind to ensure the safety of her and Prime Minister Xue, while the rest went to the palace gate to provide support.

The number of people that Prime Minister Xue brought to the palace gate was already greater than that of Nanrui and Nanqi. At this time, after the two sides had fought for a while, Nanrui and Nanqi's side was clearly at a disadvantage.

Immediately afterwards, the supporters sent by the Queen arrived again, and this situation immediately made Nan Qi think of escaping.

And that’s exactly what he did.

"All my men, retreat!"

At this moment, Nan Qi was thinking that the situation was hopeless. If he still had people under his command, he would at least have a chance to protect his life.

Nan Qi's men obeyed the order and prepared to retreat, and Nan Yu became anxious.

"Everyone, stop. If you leave now, all our efforts today will be in vain."

"Fei Nanyu, are you crazy? We're clearly outnumbered. If we don't run, are we going to stay here and die?"

Nan Qi usually treats Nan Yu with respect, but this is the first time he has spoken to him in such an attitude.

At this point, how could Nan Yu let him take his men away?

Just as he was about to say something to persuade Nan Qi to take his men to stay, he heard hurried footsteps not far away.
