Chapter 524: This is going to be a rebellion

Outside, Hu Yue was still thinking about maintaining her image in front of her father, but after not seeing Hu Renli, Hu Yue's nature seemed to be released.

Her eyes were red, and she became more and more courageous. After a while, she had already killed outside the city wall.

Ames almost broke his voice: "How did she get here?! Go up! Kill her!"

To be able to kill here, even if it was a woman, the Southern Dragon Army dared not neglect it.

Arrows, incendiary bottles, poisons, all kinds of weapons attacked Hu Yue. Hu Renli, who was under the city wall, saw this scene and his heart was clenched. He did not notice the Southern Dragon Army quietly raising their long swords behind him. Mixed

together, the smoke enveloped Hu Yue's whole body, and the hearts of those who noticed this scene could not help but hang in the air.

With a "puff", blood splashed on Hu Renli's face, bringing him back to his senses.

In front of him, Jiang Zhiyu pierced the body of the Nanjun Army with a sword, then pulled it out and shook off the blood on the sword: "Don't worry, according to the law of smoke without injury, Hu Yue must be fine. Compared to her, the general should be more vigilant."

Hu Renli: "???"

What does that mean? Why didn't he understand?

As if reflecting her words, Hu Renli saw Hu Yue rushing out from the smoke, and the long whip circled around Ames' neck three or four times. Hu Yue stretched out her hand and pulled, and Ames flew up in front of her, and was pierced by Hu Yue's sword again!

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on the woman in silver armor on the city wall.

She was dazzling, raised Ames' body with one hand, and let go of it beside the city wall.

The body fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The wind blew her long hair, and she was majestic and elegant in the sea of ​​corpses and blood.

Hu Renli looked at her, and his eyes were wet unknowingly.

His daughter had grown up when he didn't notice.

...

After the death of the commander, the Nanjun army defending the city was leaderless and soon fell apart.

It didn't take much effort to capture it.

After just experiencing a big battle, Xiao Mingye did not set out immediately, but asked everyone to reorganize on the spot.

Hu Yue was obviously still excited, with a bright light in his eyes, like a hungry wolf that had entered a flock of sheep.

Jiang Zhiyu chuckled: "I'm afraid you won't have a chance to vent your emotions to your heart's content, but I think you can go talk to the generals."

Generals?

Hu Yue looked at Xiao Mingye first, and was stunned for a moment before realizing who Jiang Zhiyu was talking about. She looked at Hu Renli, who was sitting on a stone with his back to them.

[So many generals, this title is really an inconvenience.]

...

It was already late at night when the secret letter, which had traveled 800 miles in an emergency, was delivered to Xiao Yanli.

Uncle Zhang didn't even need to ask, just looking at Xiao Yanli's expression and his slowly tightening hand, he could guess most of it.

But thinking of what Xiao Yanli said he needed to think about, Uncle Zhang didn't speak first.

But he didn't speak, Xiao Yanli opened his thin lips and said: "They have already entered the royal city."

Uncle Zhang's pupils shrank.

"We can't wait any longer. It's different from when we went there. When we went there, they could dawdle for a month or two, but with the Xu Mansion incident and Jiang Wenjing's treason, they will definitely rush back!"

Xiao Yanli's tone gradually became tougher: "Whether it's forced or coincidental, I must rebel!"

Uncle Zhang looked at Xiao Yanli and said hoarsely: "What do you mean by forced? Isn't this what Your Highness meant?"

Xiao Yanli's eyes were red.

Uncle Zhang was startled by him, and his heart began to beat: "Is there something I don't know? Isn't the current situation going according to your Highness's wishes? The Nanlong war is indeed a little faster, but as long as your Highness takes action, everything will be settled when they come back."

Uncle Zhang looked at him incomprehensibly. Why did he say forced?

Xiao Yanli opened his mouth but closed it again.

"Nothing," he heard himself say, "Maybe, I just thought too much."

Seeing that Uncle Zhang wanted to continue asking, Xiao Yanli changed the subject first: "Then do it as soon as possible, you go to Prime Minister Shang, and let him tell Shang Anlan to find a time to take action as soon as possible, within three days." Uncle Zhang swallowed his words

and said, "Yes."

...

The palace.

The two assistants were locked up by the emperor. The emperor personally reviewed the memorials for a long time.

He rubbed his temples and put down his pen. Fu Ping brought him tea at the right time.

While he was resting, Fu Ping said, "Your Majesty, Miss Shang would like to invite you to dinner."

Shang Anlan?

The emperor said softly, "Hmm?"

At this time...

The emperor put down the tea and said, "It's just right. I'll take a break too. Let's go."

"Yes!"

When the emperor arrived, the meal was ready. Shang Anlan was not dressed in her usual formal attire. Instead, she was dressed in a plain way, and her eyes were red.

"Have you cried?"

The emperor said softly.

Shang Anlan bit his lower lip lightly. The emperor waved his hand, and all the servants except Fuping went down. Shang Anlan then knelt down with his head against the ground: "Your Majesty, I beg you to save my father."

The emperor's face was as gloomy as water, and he sat on the chair: "What happened?"

"It was the Sixth Prince," Shang Anlan did not raise his head, and spoke sadly: "My father and the Minister of Rites were just colleagues, but in the mouth of the Sixth Prince, they became close friends. Moreover, I don't know how the Sixth Prince got the secret letter between my father and the Minister of Rites in his hands, and used it to threaten me to poison Your Majesty!"

Hearing the word poison, Fuping trembled like a sieve.

The emperor glanced at him and then looked at Shang Anlan: "We are just colleagues, why did we pass secret letters to each other?"

"My father did not pass on the message, it must have been forged by the Sixth Prince!" Shang Anlan said firmly: "I dare not do such a disloyal thing. After thinking about it, I can only think of this one way. I beg Your Majesty to believe me and save my father!"

"My father also thought that if the Sixth Prince framed me, he would call back the Minister of Rites to testify. However, the people my father sent back reported that the Minister of Rites was killed by bandits on his way back home, leaving no one alive."

"My father was worried that there would be no evidence, so he asked me to inform His Majesty today."

The emperor's eyes flickered slightly.

Shang Yizi was recommended by Zhiyu, so the emperor naturally trusted him.

As for the Minister of Rites...

The emperor sighed: "Of course I trust the prime minister. What did he ask you to do? Just poison?"

He was referring to Xiao Yanli.

Shang Anlan slowly raised his head and carefully observed the emperor's face. Seeing that the emperor was not angry, he was relieved and spoke: "It's just poison. I asked someone to check it out. The poison is not strong. Although it won't kill people, it will cause headaches and insomnia. Over time, people will become violent and have hallucinations. It will take effect in two days."

The emperor immediately understood what Xiao Yanli was planning.

This is a rebellion.
