A neighboring country to the east of Beiming, Dayuan.
Half a month ago, this small country with little military strength was conquered by Si Han and his men without much effort.
At this time, Si Han, who was reorganizing his troops to receive the surrender of the Dayuan royal family, was in high spirits, with a message flashing in his eyes, as if he had unified all the countries and made them submit to him and bow down to him.
When he returned to his residence with proud steps, he heard his subordinates report that An Xin and others who left behind in the Beiming capital had already fled, and his face instantly became gloomy.
"A bunch of rubbish, can't even keep a few people under control..."
"I originally thought that you were all talented people and I wanted to keep you for my own use. Since you are unwilling, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."
Si Han's eyes were cold and gloomy, and his tone became cruel: "Except for the female envoy from Daqian, all the others who escaped will be killed on the spot once they are caught."
"Yes!" The subordinate took the order and retreated.
…
Leng Xiangbai decided to take the people who escaped from the embassy away and hide all the way, and their whereabouts were occasionally discovered.
Under the cover of those who were protecting them, they stumbled along the small paths in the mountains and forests and arrived near the northern border of Hebei.
Before they could be happy, they were caught up by the Beiming Secret Guards who were chasing them.
At this time, most of the guards who were still alive around Leng Xiangbai and his group were those who had been trained as killers since childhood. They were very ruthless and had extraordinary martial arts skills. They were arranged by An Xin to protect the people brought by Qinglong.
Even so, they all suffered some injuries.
If they hadn't met Zheng Xiaoling and Gao Tai's team who were out of the city for inspection, Leng Xiangbai and Bai Yuheng and others who decided to go back to their own country from Daqian would probably have died on the border between Beiming and Daqian Jibei.
…
Daqian Palace.
Kong Xun, Li Ziyu, and Zhu Shijing all had gloomy expressions on their faces as they stood on the high steps in front of the imperial palace. They looked at the father and son who had barged in with a group of people with cold eyes and disdain.
Li Ziyu's cold gaze swept across Nanjun Prince Si Yeke's arrogant and complacent face. He pulled the corners of his mouth expressionlessly, and finally his gaze fell on the young man next to him.
The man who usually had a blank expression on his face now had a cold look on his face, and there was a dangerous gleam in his eyes.
"Ha!" He sneered sarcastically, "She wasted her good intentions, but she was wrong and accepted an ungrateful person."
The young man, who was stared at by Li Ziyu's sharp eyes, showed a flash of embarrassment on his face, and then became angry and embarrassed.
We are both of royal blood, and what his father said is right. Why should he become the duke who has to live by the thumbs of others, look down on others, have only the title but no future.
"Si Wei, if you stop now, I can spare your life for Xiaoshanzhang's sake."
Kong Xun was wearing a black robe with dragon patterns and a purple gold crown on his head. He had been sitting in a high position for a long time and gradually developed a majestic demeanor. He spoke in a dignified and steady voice.
When mentioning An Xin, the teacher he had once asked for, Si Wei's eyes, which had become calculating at some point, flashed with a gleam of light.
It was because he was of royal blood after all, and he couldn't be subservient to others. In the following years, he became less and less close to her.
They were even so distant that when he didn't go to see this teacher, An Xin seemed to have forgotten about him.
Si Wei thought that among all the students and apprentices, An Xin seemed to be the only one who was not close to him, and jealousy and unwillingness flashed across his eyes.
Abandoning the past relationship between master and apprentice, he said in a cold voice: "The winner is the king, and the loser is the enemy. It is still unknown who will spare whose life today."
"If she hadn't been by your side supporting you over the past few years, how could you, a prince who suddenly appeared, have sat on the throne so easily?
How could my father and I wait until now to start a rebellion? "
"It seems that you and your son have planned this long ago." Kong Xun: "Since you don't care about her feelings, I have nothing to worry about you."
Zhu Shijing secretly hated it and felt sorry for his little mountain chief. He said coldly: "Humph, he is an ungrateful wolf. Why does he care about the old friendship?"
"Your Majesty, why are you still wasting words with them? They have colluded with this group of traitors and have also won over the remaining forces of the rebellious prince of Lingnan.
None of these people are good people. If we don’t root them out today, there will inevitably be endless troubles in the future.”
How could Kong Xun not know this? She was just concerned that Si Wei was her apprentice after all. If she rashly sent someone to kill him, she was worried that An Xin would be angry with him when she came back.
But the opportunity has been given to Si Wei. It was he who ignored the relationship between master and disciple between him and Xiao Shanshang. So don't blame me for being cruel to him.
"Brother Li, I'll leave it to you to decide how to do this."
Li Ziyu bowed and said calmly, "I obey your command."
The Prince of Nanjun and his sons surrounded the palace with their men, thinking that Kong Xun and his men were already trapped.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
He was willing to say these words to them only because he wanted to show off to them before they died that his plan was about to succeed, and he would seize the supreme position to satisfy his vanity.
Li Ziyu clapped his hands at this time, and rumbling footsteps came out from all over the palace.
The Prince of Nanjun looked at the thousands of troops led by Chen Qibao who were confronting them.
He squinted at Kong Xun and Li Ziyu and sneered, "The troops behind me are ten times as many as yours. If you don't want to die, surrender quickly and I can leave you with a whole body."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and for dismembering you." Thinking of the throne that was about to fall within his grasp, the Prince of Nanjun showed a mad look on his face, laughing wildly:
“Hahaha, Si Yexiao has suppressed this king all my life.
I didn’t expect that after his death, the throne would one day fall into my hands…”
Kong Xun and the others still looked calm and composed. No one paid any attention to him. They just watched the Prince of Nanjun go crazy in silence.
"With this character, you still want to sit on the throne of the emperor. I'm afraid it's wishful thinking." A sonorous and loud voice came from the direction of the palace gate.
The Prince of Nanjun and his son, as well as the group of people they brought with them, looked back.
Then I saw a tall and burly man wearing armor and riding a tall warhorse.
Surrounded by a group of young men who were also riding horses, they looked at them with disdain as they slowly walked towards them.
"It's you, Yuchi Yong." Lord Gao, who once competed with Li Ziyu for the position of prime minister and now defected to the Prince of Nanjun, said in surprise: "Didn't you resign from the position of general after General Yuchi took over as the commander of the Jibei border because you were afraid that your family's glory would be too great and your achievements would shock the king?!"
Following behind were An Rui, Feng Yuxiu, Feng Yujue, Shan Yongzhen, Kunrui, Li Xin, Chen Runze...
Even the two girls, Gongsun Lanyue and Chen Runzhi, came with them on horseback, dressed in dashing attire.
The two little girls stared at Si Wei with their eyes wide open, their eyes showing that they couldn't believe that he could do such a thing.
Si Wei could even abandon his master-disciple relationship with An Xin, let alone these insignificant people. Seeing these people enter the palace, he was worried that things might have changed.
He waved his weapon-holding hand lightly, then immediately raised his arm to signal the soldiers behind him to begin ruthlessly strangling the people in the palace.
