After a long pause, someone screamed and everyone rushed towards King Nan Gu, and the entire hall became a mess.
"Why is there so much noise? What happened?"
"The king has passed away!"
These two sentences quickly spread throughout the palace.
Before anyone could react, the next moment, "Hurry up! There's a fire!"
Nan Gu Village is built entirely of wood. If a flood occurs, the consequences will be disastrous!
Seeing the flames coming out not far away, the guards in charge of guarding Amusha hurried over.
Among a group of people rushing around, a person strolling leisurely is particularly eye-catching.
But no one paid attention to him at the moment, and the man went straight to Amusa's door and opened it.
After a while, the two figures disappeared silently into the night.
…
Yugu and Yuli hid in the grass. This path was not top-secret and caravans sometimes took this route.
But that is normal. At this time, the only people who take this road are those who want to take the opportunity to escape from Nan Gu.
Yugu threw the body aside and rummaged through the package.
"Wow, so many poisonous insects," he picked and chose, his tone unable to hide his disappointment, "They are all garbage."
Yuli remained alert beside him and made a "hush" sound when Yugu complained again.
He signaled with his eyes: someone is coming.
Yugu also got into position.
The sound of horse hooves stopped about four or five meters away from them, and a deep voice rang out: "Who?!"
This voice...
Yugu and Yuli looked at each other and crawled out from the grass.
"Great Elder, we are here to meet you on the orders of Elder Gongta."
Even after hearing Gongta's name, the vigilance in the elder's eyes did not fade.
"Lead the way."
He didn't say much. Yuli took a few steps forward, confirmed Amusa's condition, and then jumped on the horse, followed closely by Yugu.
"Great Elder, the dense forest is full of Apocalypse soldiers. We can only march at night, so today, I'm afraid we can only reach the ditch of Xiaota Village."
The Great Elder nodded and said, "It's alright, just stop where you are."
"yes."
…
The news of the death of the Nan Gu King should have been concealed, but now everyone in Nan Gu is in danger. The Nan Gu King, who was the only backbone, has fallen, and Nan Gu has become a mess.
Now everyone is thinking about escaping, let alone blocking the news.
So soon, the news reached the front line, and the morale of the Nan Gu army was instantly shaken.
On the other side, inside the Apocalypse Army tent, upon hearing the news that King Nan Gu was assassinated, Jiang Wenjing's expression went blank and he subconsciously looked at Jiang Zhiyu.
No, she really squatted down?
The others had the same expression as him, except Jiang Zhiyu, whose eyes were full of joy.
[This is truly a bride skydiving—joy descends from the sky!]
Feeling the gazes from all around, Jiang Zhiyu looked back puzzledly: "Why are you all looking at me? Are you unhappy?"
Everyone looked away.
"Happy."
"How can I not be happy?"
Who could have thought that during the war between the two armies, the emperor of one country died first.
Xiao Mingye silently closed the strategy he had written.
Nan Gu is now like a pile of loose sand, and they will be blown away without them having to do anything.
Jiang Zhiyu raised his eyebrows frivolously. "Just as Bai Yan told me, the Gu worms are almost all planted. Those who haven't planted any yet can stay in the camp to look after them. Those who have planted them can join us and charge into the royal city. What do you think?"
Xiao Mingye: "..."
How could he dare to say another word?
Jiang Zhiyu might really be the child of destiny as he has encountered such a niche thing!
You’ll definitely be right to listen to her!
"I'll do as you say."
All of them were angry: "..."
Jiang Wenjing: "..."
…
Tianqi, the Sixth Prince’s Mansion.
The letter came rushing over from 800 miles away. Uncle Zhang glanced at it briefly and his face immediately changed. Without saying anything, he went straight to Xiao Yanli's study.
He pushed the door open and walked in, slapping the letter in front of Xiao Yanli: "Oh no!"
Xiao Yanli was about to get angry, but seeing his serious face, he looked carefully and saw the words clearly written on the letter: The King of Nan Gu was assassinated.
Xiao Yanli's expression also changed: "What's going on? Didn't I say we should delay it a little longer? Who did it?!"
"Your Highness, now is not the time to dwell on this. Once the Southern Gu King dies, the Southern Gu will be like a handful of loose sand. They alone cannot stop Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu!"
"Your Highness, we can't delay any longer. It will take some time to capture the royal city until they return. We must act quickly and make sure the overall situation is in order before they return!"
Uncle Zhang was so anxious that he couldn't help stamping his feet. Xiao Yanli took a few deep breaths and his face suddenly turned cold.
"I see."
…
"How come Your Highness has time to come here today?" Song Shiwei stood up to greet him, without a trace of resentment on his face.
"I've been too busy these days, and I've neglected you." He stroked Song Shiwei's face with his hand: "I'm sorry for putting you through this."
Song Shiwei sneered in her heart, but lowered her eyes and said: "Being your Highness's concubine is already a high achievement for Shiwei, so how can I say it's wronged."
When he said this, Xiao Yanli's eyes were filled with guilt. "Shi Wei, let me ask you, are you willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with me?"
Sure enough, he came. Song Shiwei asked in confusion, "What does your highness mean?"
"Do you still want to be my queen?" Xiao Yanli looked at Song Shiwei's suddenly widened eyes with satisfaction.
Song Shiwei put her hand over his mouth and said, "Your Highness, are you crazy? How can you say such things?"
Xiao Yanli grabbed her hand and rubbed it playfully. "I'm not crazy. This is all from the bottom of my heart. The war with Nan Gu has already begun. Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu will be back soon. I don't have much time left."
Song Shiwei looked at him, dazed for a moment.
Once upon a time, Xiao Yanli was completely open with himself. There was nothing he didn't know about Zuiyuelong and Lanyan.
But now, they were married and should have been the two closest people in the world, but he was wary of her.
He would never have told me these things if he didn't want me to seduce Xiao Lingyu.
Song Shiwei's eyes flashed with silence, and then she pretended to be surprised and said, "Your Highness means that you want to..."
She just lip-synched the word "treason".
Xiao Yanli nodded slightly: "Yes, but right now, we have encountered some obstacles."
He paused at the right moment, and saw Song Shiwei's worried expression as he asked, "What's the obstacle?"
"Crown Prince, Xiao Lingyu."
Xiao Yanli paused for a moment, observing Song Shiwei's reaction. "As long as the Crown Prince is around, even if I succeed, it won't be legitimate, and the court officials won't believe me."
"So, I need you."
Song Shiwei looked at him as if his brain had crashed. Xiao Yanli hardened his heart and said in one breath, "So, I need you to use your identity as a princess of the previous dynasty to pull Xiao Lingyu down from the position of crown prince!"
"You don't have to do anything. Just tell him the clue to the treasure of the previous dynasty on you, and this location."
