Chapter 172 Father's Love is Like a Mountain
Zheng Wanba took several deep breaths, stared at the dim candlelight on the table for a long time, and spoke slowly:
"Your Majesty has already become suspicious. He originally wanted to lead his troops to launch a counterattack the next time he left the city. Now it seems that he can only use this opportunity when Prince Anhe comes to the capital."
"Remember to have people take control of Langcheng and Huaixian, the closest counties to the capital. I don't want to see any troops coming to support us.
It may be our best chance for An and Wang to go to Beijing. Keep an eye on Qingyun Temple... We must not let anyone discover the secret passage."
"The personal soldiers outside the city and the assassins I have raised over the years have all been properly settled. When the time comes, I will have someone shoot an arrow as a signal..."
"In this battle, we must succeed, not fail!!!"
At the side, the ugly man's eyes flickered.
"Don't worry, General. I'm here to keep an eye on you. If anything goes wrong again, I'll bring my head to you!"
~~~
Tonight's study.
The light is exceptionally bright.
Chu Wenzong looked at his own imperial teacher who was taking advantage of the situation and said with trepidation in his eyes:
"My dear, how good or bad will this civil unrest be?"
Qing Qianxue poured out the coins from the turtle shell one by one, put them together and looked at them carefully for a while.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, in this civil turmoil, Your Majesty has the advantage of time, place and people.
Your Majesty has a 90% chance of winning this battle, while the Zheng family has a 10% chance. As long as Your Majesty makes good arrangements, everyone will be safe."
"That's good, very good."
Chu Wenzong nodded, looking much more relaxed.
"The Imperial Master has not been in good health recently. I still have a lot of ginseng and deer antlers. If you need them, I will have someone send them to you."
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness, but my illness cannot be cured by ordinary tonics, and... I may have found a way to save my life, so please don't bother your Majesty to spend money on me."
Qing Qianxue spoke softly.
"If that's true, that would be great!!!" Chu Wenzong was instantly excited, "When your body recovers, I will definitely open a hunting ground and have a fight with you!"
As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and continued, "By the way, do you need me to send troops to protect you, my dear?"
Thinking of something, a hint of smile appeared in Qing Qianxue's deep eyes beneath the mask.
"Your Majesty, this is not something you need to trouble me with. However, if possible, I would like to ask Your Majesty for an imperial decree. Would you mind handing over the mission of going to the Jiang family to protect the little prince to me?"
As he was speaking, Fu Kang came to report at the door: "Your Majesty, Dali Temple Junior Official Jiang Li wants to see you."
"Xuan!"
Chu Wenzong nodded.
Jiang Li walked in quickly.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"
"Go ahead."
With a clear mind, Emperor Wenzong of Chu relaxed a little.
Jiang Li knelt there and spoke word by word, spitting out all the words his sister taught him like pouring out beans.
"Your Majesty, today I finally got some information out of the parrot I caught earlier.
First, there are some evil remnants alive in Qingyun Temple who have been following Zheng Wanba.
Second, there is a secret passage in Qingyun Temple that leads directly to the imperial palace.
Now I have secretly sent people to Qingyun Temple to search for the secret passage. I also ask Your Majesty to have people find the location of the secret passage in the palace as soon as possible to avoid any accidents."
Chu Wenzong suddenly stood up with his eyes wide open.
"What???"
There have been many cases of forced abdication in history. The imperial palace certainly has secret passages leading to the outside world, but the location of the secret passages has always been known only to the emperor, and it is his last way of retreat.
But I never thought that a secret passage would appear now!
"Xuan Fan Cheng Feng!"

This night.
After taking a bath and burning incense again, Jiang Youning knocked the wooden fish for half an hour before he chose to open the elementary skill book he had obtained today.
“Open, open, open!”
[Congratulations on your great luck, you have unlocked a special skill - as light as a swallow.
Skill introduction: As light as a swallow, move as you please, come and go without a trace, hide your breath during use, even the king of heaven cannot find any trace of you, CD has no cooldown period, can be used permanently.
Note: It is best to use it for less than one hour each time. Using it for more than one hour may cause unexpected side effects due to the body load.
Anonymous person's comment: The skill is very strong, a rookie can become a big shot with this skill, except that the side effects are not very friendly to me. Who would have thought that I only used it for three hours, and the side effect is hair loss all over my body??? I am bald, ahhhh…]
The following words were full of swear words, so Jiang Youning didn't continue reading.
Her eyes sparkled instantly.
"It's true that what you need comes true. They say that father's love is as strong as a mountain. I didn't feel it before, but now I really believe it!"
“Ahhhh!!!”
"I can fly! I can fly!"
Thinking of this, Jiang Youning immediately ran into the yard and chose to use the Light as a Swallow technique.
She made a pose like a giant phoenix spreading its wings, then laughed and said, "Take me to the roof!"
With a whoosh, she witnessed herself flying up into the air, and then quickly landed on the roof without making any sound.
“Great, great!”
"I am indeed the luckiest kid in the world!!!"
Jiang Youning was so excited that he couldn't help but yell towards the direction of Qixiuyuan: "Old Jiang! I love you!!!"
There was a loud, penetrating roar, startling the birds perched in the yard and causing them to flap their wings a few times.
Qixiuyuan is not far away.
Jiang Huaian, who was mentally broken and crying for a long time while holding Lin Xiangyin, had just kissed his wife. The roar from his young lady scared him so much that he instinctively bit Lin Xiangyin's mouth.
My mouth is bitten and bleeding.
He successfully got slapped in the face again.
Lin Xiangyin kicked him off the bed.
The warm and soft jade turned into a cold floor.
~~~
As the head of the family was ordered to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion, the number of people coming and going in the Jiang Mansion decreased.
Every day, Jiang Li was busy running in and out.
Jiang He secretly sneaked away to find out the whereabouts of Chu Haoze.
Others rarely go out.
For Jiang Youning, having a rogue parrot that knows a lot of interesting things makes her life happier, and it is no problem for her not to go out.
The weather these past two days seems to be not very good. Perhaps it is because we are entering summer, the weather is getting more and more muggy.
Sometimes people are also intuitive animals. There are inexplicably fewer pedestrians on the streets, and everyone has begun to try not to go out and walk around unless necessary.
Everyone inexplicably had a sense that a storm was about to come.
When it comes to staying in bed, Jiang Youning is a professional.
After waking up from a nap, she lazily lay on the bed, giggling and touching her big bed.
"Hmm... I really like my bed. Can I make love to my bed?"
"My dear bed concubine, when I can guarantee my life, I will give you a legitimate status and let you sleep with me every day, okay?"
As soon as Chuntao came in, she heard what her own self said, and she felt a little headache.
Are there really normal people in this world who call their bed "concubine" and want to give it a name?
