Helian Zheng snorted angrily, "That girl is incredibly skilled! She used poison to eliminate all the assassins I planted in the palace."
Even Helian Jun's gruesome corpse was met with some surprise: "So powerful!"
Speaking of this, Helian Zheng got angry: "More than that! I think these people are all monsters and demons, each one more troublesome than the last!"
Before these people came to Northern Wei, they thought Helian Ci was easy to deal with. In fact, even with the old man's help, Helian Ci was still completely suppressed by them.
Now that these people have arrived, nothing they do goes smoothly; instead, they are constantly suppressed by Helian Ci and the old man.
Helian Jun understood what Helian Zheng meant.
Whether it's the Empress of Western Liang, the new Emperor of Eastern Chu, or even that girl and that boy, or even an infant still in swaddling clothes, they all have extraordinary origins and are not easy to deal with, are they?
Helian Jun looked dejected: "We can't even catch that girl, what are we going to do now?"
Helian Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Stop doing all this useless work, just start the uprising!"
He was already impatient. Now that he had military power in his hands, he refused to believe he couldn't succeed.
Perhaps because he has failed so many times, he is now eagerly hoping to succeed just once!
Helian Jun nodded silently in agreement: "There really isn't any other way now!"
He couldn't think of any other way besides starting an uprising!
Most importantly, time is of the essence, and they must act quickly. Now that the old man has appointed Helian Ci as the crown prince, Helian Ci will succeed to the throne once the old man dies. It will be too late to start a rebellion by then.
Helian Zheng had also made up his mind, and looked at Helian Jun and said, "Leave all these things to me, you just need to stay by my side."
Helian Jun gave a forced smile: "Of course, now that the military tally has been handed over to you, it's natural that you're in charge!"
Helian Zheng was very satisfied with Helian Jun's attitude.
He didn't see that Helian Jun's lowered eyes were also full of calculation.
Helian Zheng and Helian Jun couldn't wait any longer, and two days later, they launched a rebellion.
When the news reached Helian Rong's ears, he was not worried at all; on the contrary, he was relieved.
Those two rebellious sons have finally made their move. Not to mention them, he couldn't wait any longer!
Su Renzhong, Duanmu Junyu, Xuanyuan Zhan and the others also gathered at Changshou Palace.
Xuanyuan Zhan looked at Helian Rong and asked, "What are your plans, great-grandfather?"
Helian Rong was the first to ask the Su family army: "How many more days until that secret army arrives in Northern Wei?"
Xuanyuan Zhan frowned: "Judging by the days, they should have already arrived in Northern Wei, but it should still take them a few more days to reach the capital."
Helian Rong was no longer worried and said casually, "Since that's the case, let those two rebellious sons have a taste of victory. Let them play for a while, and we'll make our move when they think they're about to win."
The group exchanged glances and all agreed that the old man was really energetic!
Since the old man wasn't in a hurry, the rest of them weren't either, especially since Duanmu Junyu and Xuanyuan Zhan still had backup plans!
Because of the old man's casual attitude, Helian Zheng and Helian Jun's side had a smooth journey since the start of their uprising, fighting all the way from the border to Minzhou in just over ten days, which was really just a matter of traveling.
It can be said that no one stopped them along the way, which made Helian Jun feel uneasy.
Helian Zheng was extremely pleased with himself, his face full of smug satisfaction, as if he were about to become the new emperor of Northern Wei.
Helian Jun frowned and looked at Helian Zheng, saying, "Don't you find it strange that the old man didn't send troops to stop us when we started our uprising?"
Helian Zheng, however, was not surprised at all: "He's trying to stop us? What can he use to stop us? With his 300,000 troops, how can he stop our 900,000 troops? If they come, won't they just be wiped out by us? I guess the old man is reluctant to let his 300,000 troops be wiped out by us."
...What he said made sense, but Helian Jun felt that their journey had been too smooth, as if it had been arranged by the old man on purpose: "Even if they don't have enough troops, they should at least try to stop us. They can't just watch us march on to the capital! Are they going to hand over the throne of Northern Wei? And they're not going to ask Western Liang and Eastern Chu for reinforcements?"
Helian Zheng didn't care: "Why bother with all that? Even if they really go to Xiliang and Dongchu to ask for reinforcements, can Xiliang and Dongchu really reach our Northern Wei? Even if they really want to attack our Northern Wei, we Northern Wei are not to be trifled with. What are we afraid of? The most important thing now is to seize the throne of Northern Wei. We must not let the throne fall into Helian Ci's hands!"
He was not afraid of fighting against Eastern Chu and Western Liang at all!
What he feared was that Helian Ci would be the one to eventually sit on the throne of Northern Wei!
So no matter what, he had to seize the throne first. Once he became the emperor of Northern Wei, whether it was Western Liang or Eastern Chu, if they dared to provoke him, he would destroy them one by one!
Helian Jun frowned even more as he looked at Helian Zheng, whose face was full of murderous intent.
Although he felt uneasy and wondered why the old man didn't send troops to stop them, he couldn't resolve this unease at the moment.
Holding the map, Helian Zheng excitedly said to Helian Jun, "At our current speed, we'll reach the capital in two or three days! That means in two or three days, I'll be the emperor of Northern Wei!"
Helian Zheng's blunt words caused Helian Jun's expression to change slightly.
At this point, Helian Zheng was too lazy to pretend anymore. He patted Helian Jun on the shoulder and said, "Fourth brother, it's not that I don't want to give you the throne of Northern Wei, it's just that I think I'm more suitable to be the emperor of Northern Wei than you. Even if we're talking about seniority, I should be ahead of you!"
Helian Jun stared at Helian Zheng's ugly face, wishing he could slap him away!
This person stole his and his third brother's military seals, and now he's used their troops to conquer the Northern Wei dynasty, and he's acting all high and mighty in front of them. He's truly shameless to the extreme!
Did he think he was the third child?
Why would we so casually use him as a stepping stone?
However, things haven't been accomplished yet, so he's too lazy to bother with him. He'll wait until things are done, and then he'll show him how powerful Helian Jun really is!
Helian Jun didn't want to offend Helian Zheng at this moment, so he just smiled and flattered Helian Zheng, saying, "Then naturally it should be you, Second Brother, to become the Emperor of Northern Wei. As long as you become the Emperor, don't forget your brother!"
Seeing how sensible Helian Jun was, Helian Zheng was also very generous: "Don't worry, as long as you help me ascend the throne, you'll have plenty of benefits to enjoy!"
Helian Zheng was not one to mistreat his brothers.
Although the military tally cannot be returned to him and the third brother, he will definitely treat them with special favor!
Helian Jun glanced at Helian Zheng's smug look, said nothing more, but his eyes were filled with a cold glint.
