Chapter 99 I just hope she is safe and sound

Imperial Capital.

Purple Gold Palace.

On the desk, memorials were piled up.

However, Yuwen Xiu didn't even look at it.

Without even reading it, he knew what was in the memorial. It must be an impeachment against the Imperial Master, Jiang Li, and Lu Fan.

The carved wooden door of the Zijin Palace was pushed open, and the creaking sound made the empty and quiet Zijin Palace a little more lively.

The old eunuch came in a hurry, swinging his whisk continuously.

Yuwen Xiu, who was sitting on the dragon throne, glanced at the old eunuch and raised a finger to his lips.

"Don't scare my black dragon."

The old eunuch was startled and hurriedly stood on tiptoe, walking carefully.

"Who stole the nine imperial edicts I drafted?"

Yuwen Xiu said.

His words were cold, so cold that they were filled with murderous intent.

Although Yuwen Xiu was young, he felt that he was already very kind and tolerant.

However, this incident completely touched his bottom line.

The old eunuch knelt on the ground, took a deep breath, and said, "We have found out that it was Minister He Shou who bribed the young eunuch who cleaned the study and stole the nine draft orders of your majesty."

"Oh……"

Yu Wenxiu stroked the black dragon gently and narrowed his eyes.

"What about the little eunuch?"

Yu Wenxiu asked.

"He has been taken to jail, awaiting your majesty's decision..." the old eunuch said with great sorrow. As the head of the eunuchs, he could not escape the blame for what had happened to his subordinates.

"Have you found out where the nine imperial edicts went?"

Yu Wenxiu asked.

The old eunuch who was kneeling on the ground trembled for a long time before he spoke: "He Shou colluded with the ministers and sent nine imperial edicts to Yuanchicheng last night... in an attempt to summon Jiang Li to the capital."

Sitting on the dragon throne, Yuwen Xiu laughed softly, and his laughter sounded a little sad.

"Behead the eunuch who stole the imperial edict and send his head to Minister He's residence."

The laughter stopped.

In the quiet Purple Gold Palace, the emperor's somewhat cold voice suddenly sounded.

The old eunuch lying on the ground trembled slightly.

…

Imperial capital, prime minister's residence.

If there were someone here at this moment, he would find that the Prime Minister's Mansion actually gathered many ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty except the imperial teacher.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was the residence of the Prime Minister of the Zhou Dynasty.

Because the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty trusted the imperial teacher, the prime minister had always been in semi-retirement.

Until now, people only knew about the Great Zhou’s national teacher Kong Xiu, but ignored the Great Zhou’s prime minister.

Also, the prime ministers of the Great Zhou all came from aristocratic families in the imperial capital. In order to weaken the control of the aristocratic families, the emperor of the Great Zhou supported the imperial teacher and weakened the prime minister, which led to the world's misunderstanding of the prime minister.

The prime minister's residence was extremely lively.

The Prime Minister of the Great Zhou, Zhao Kuo, was a skinny, frail old man in plain clothes.

He sat in the hall, with many ministers arguing with each other under the flags on both sides.

The ministers in the Prime Minister's Office largely represent the aristocratic family groups in the imperial capital.

"Lu Ping'an wanted to deal with us, but he didn't come to the capital himself. He only sent a coachman and a maid to the capital! He is looking down on us!"

"Prime Minister, we should be careful. Beiluo Lu Ping'an is a very strange person!"

"The aristocratic families in Beiluo City are deeply rooted, but they were all uprooted by this boy with vicious means. We must not underestimate the enemy!"

Many ministers spoke up and discussed the matter.

Although Prime Minister Zhao Kuo was old and thin, he had a sharp eye. He fell into a trough during the reign of Yuwen Tuo. After Yuwen Tuo died, he thought his chance had come, but Kong Xiu took power and suppressed him again.

Now, Kong Xiu can hardly protect himself, and it is time for him to step out again and let the world know him as the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou.

Without Kong Xiu's assistance, the young emperor Yuwen Xiu was just a young boy, destined to be played around by these old foxes.

"Master He, how is your matter going?"

Zhao Kuo looked at He Shou and asked.

He Shou, who was dressed in a robe, put down the teacup in his hand and chuckled: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I have done everything you asked."

"The emperor issued nine edicts in a row. Jiang Li dared to resist one decree, but nine in a row... Even Bai Fengtian didn't dare to resist at the beginning, so Jiang Li wouldn't dare to resist either."

He Shou stroked his beard and chuckled.

"As for Lu Ping'an's maid and coachman coming to the capital...it's no big deal."

"Beiluo City is Lu Ping'an's territory after all, but... in the Imperial Capital, he is nothing. The tragic situation of the Beiluo family cannot happen to us, not to mention that he only sent a maid and a coachman."

"How dare you, a mere maidservant and coachman, dare to attack important officials like me?"

He Shou smiled.

Prime Minister Zhao Kuo clapped his hands and laughed.

The ministers around were whispering to each other and praising him.

"We must be cautious in everything. Now, the Northern Army is eyeing us covetously outside Yuanchi City. We must be more cautious and not become the subjects of a fallen country."

Zhao Kuo said.

All the ministers below nodded.

He Shou didn't care and bowed to Zhao Kuo: "Your Excellency, you worry too much."

"Although Tan Taixuan's Northern Commander army occupied Yuanchi, they have now retreated 130 miles. Why? Because the rebellious Western Commander Xiang Shaoyun's army is behind them."

"When two tigers meet, one of them will be injured. What Tan Taixuan cares about now is Xiang Shaoyun's army. He dare not attack the Imperial Capital at this time. Once Xiang Shaoyun makes a breakthrough, it will be a great defeat. Tan Taixuan cannot afford to lose."

He Shou's eyes flickered as he analyzed.

"Now, what we need to pay attention to is the 500 cavalrymen that Lu Ping'an sent to Beijing..."

"The evildoer has caused chaos in the country and actually sent people to the capital to judge us. Who the hell is Lu Ping'an? He doesn't even have a legitimate reputation. He's just the son of Lu Changkong, yet he dares to be so rampant!"

"In that case, we will kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. We will use the troops that the Prime Minister has secretly gathered over the years to kill Lu Ping'an's maid and coachman, and completely kill Lu Ping'an's courage!"

"It also makes our little emperor understand that Lu Ping'an cannot be his support. Only we can be his support."

He Shou slapped his palm on the table and said.

The ministers looked at each other, hesitant.

Prime Minister Zhao Kuo, who was sitting on the first seat, had a flickering look in his eyes, and then he slowly clapped his hands.

Then all the ministers agreed.

He Shou's mouth curled up. He enjoyed the feeling of being recognized. He had been frustrated in the first half of his life, but he was destined to be famous in the second half! ...

Former Akagi.

The elite troops camp of the Great Zhou.

One after another, messengers rushed into the military camp on fast horses.

The entire Great Zhou military camp was in complete chaos.

Jiang Li, wearing silver armor, walked out of the big tent. Six envoys had already gathered outside the tent.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The emperor issued six consecutive edicts.

At this time, the sky was turning pale and the morning light was leaping into the sky.

He looked at the messengers one by one, and unforgettable scenes flashed before his eyes:

A solitary smoke rises in the desert, and the red afterglow of the setting sun spreads over the desert, enveloping people in an incomparable red.

He was still young at that time.

He stood with a knife beside the person he admired most in his life, who looked at the endless desert and sighed.

Under the summons of nine imperial edicts.

He had no choice but to give up on pacifying the threat from the Western Rong people, and at sunset, he ordered the burial alive of 300,000 Western Rong people.

That’s right, they are Rong people, not just Rong soldiers.

Jiang Li still remembers what Bai Fengtian said.

"The Five Barbarians, the Western Rong, the Eastern Yi, the Southern Barbarians, the Gui Fang and the Peacock Kingdom, will eventually become a threat to the Great Zhou. If the Five Barbarians enter the Zhou territory, the people of the world will suffer. I cannot pacify the Five Barbarians in this lifetime, but I can only use this unscrupulous strategy to weaken one side."

How helpless and unwilling Bai Fengtian was when facing the nine imperial edicts from the emperor.

Now, Jiang Li is facing the same situation.

This may be a ridiculous cycle.

Jiang Li had seen the emperor's edicts with his own eyes. Every edict was written by the emperor himself and stamped with the emperor's seal.

The nine imperial edicts showed the emperor's determination.

Jiang Li was wearing silver armor with a floating cloak behind him. He looked at Yuanchicheng and seemed to see the dense Beijun army outside Yuanchicheng.

When the morning light of dawn jumped out of the horizon, the red light illuminated the original Akagi.

Three more fast horses galloped and brought three consecutive imperial edicts into the camp.

Jiang Li did not disobey the order again. He took off his silver armor, knelt on one knee and accepted the nine imperial edicts.

Before leaving.

Jiang Li found Chi Lian and said, "Take Qingniao away from Zuilong City."

Chi Lian was startled: "Where are we going after leaving Zui Long?"

Jiang Li looked towards Zuilongcheng and vaguely saw the girl busy cooking chicken soup in the kitchen, with some reluctance in her eyes.

"Let's go to Beiluo and find Beiluo Young Master Lu. His place must be the safest place in the world. I just hope that the girl can be safe and sound."

Jiang Li left.

Under the reluctant gazes of the crookedly armored soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and under the guidance of the nine envoys.

He mounted his horse and headed straight for the imperial capital.

…

Five hundred cavalrymen, led by Luo Cheng, crushed the sunlight.

Nie Zhangqing sat upright on the carriage frame, with the butcher knife quietly placed on the frame.

Inside the carriage, Ning Zhao and Yi Yue sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, and practiced their cultivation techniques.

The gates of the imperial capital were wide open.

On the city wall, the soldiers and guards defending the city stared at the five hundred cavalrymen and chariots coming from Beiluo with strange eyes.

No one came to greet them, and even after the five hundred cavalrymen entered the city gate, the defenders closed the gate and dropped the wooden bolt.

Luo Cheng spurred his horse, fixed his eyes, and looked around.

The bustling streets of the imperial capital are now deserted, as if it were a dead city.

There was a faint murderous intent in the air.

The carriage stopped and the horses neighed anxiously.

"Commander Luo, be careful."

Ning Zhao's voice was heard from inside the carriage.

Luo Cheng slowly drew out the long sword from his waist, and the five hundred cavalrymen of Beiluo did the same.

In the carriage, Nie Zhangqing slowly opened his eyes and curled his lips in disdain.

at the same time.

The first building in the imperial capital, Wangxiang Tower, is on the high floor.

The food and wine were neatly arranged.

He Shou was dressed in plain clothes and sat with several ministers who were also dressed in plain clothes, chatting and laughing.

A soldier came in, bowed and whispered a few words in his ear.

He Shou smiled and turned to look at the ministers.

"Everyone, the show has begun. Come watch this show with me."

He Shou and several ministers stood up from the table and stood at the railing, with their hands behind their backs, looking down at the long street of the imperial capital.

But on the long street, one could hear the sound of taut bowstrings exploding.

Thousands of arrows rained down from the city walls.

A hazy mist that seemed to contain death enveloped the five hundred Beiluo cavalrymen.
