Chapter 362: Peasant Army Captures the Capital
Concubine Shu was completely confused.
Twenty years ago, she was still a little baby.
She didn't understand who the emperor was talking about.
But the emperor didn't want to say it, and she couldn't ask any further.
She hoped that this person was really dead as Gao Sui said.
After all, she planned all this just to see the day when the emperor would lose his kingdom and become like a stray dog!
"My beloved? My beloved?" The emperor's voice interrupted her thoughts.
Concubine Shu calmed herself down and asked, "Your Majesty?"
"My beloved, Mingzhu's illness cannot be dragged on like this. The longer that evil creature survives, the longer she will possess the treasure, and Mingzhu will be sick for one more day!"
"What does the Emperor intend to do? Send troops to attack Heihe Village?"
The emperor shook his head. "To be exact, I've already sent three groups of people to Heihe Village. The first two groups all mysteriously disappeared. This time, except for the death of a minister, the others did return, but nothing I instructed them to do was accomplished. This shows that the court's methods are simply no match for that evil creature."
The emperor paused and grabbed Concubine Shu's hand, "I hope my beloved concubine will use the power of her mother's family!"
"My mother's family?" Concubine Shu said calmly, "My father and brother are good at business, but how could they do such a thing as fighting and killing? Your Majesty, please forgive them!"
The emperor soothed her, "Don't worry, my dear. I've heard there's a mysterious assassin organization called 'Wushengmen' in the martial arts world. They'll complete any mission, no matter how difficult, as long as you can afford the commission."
"Your Majesty, do you want my mother's family to contact the assassin from Wushengmen and kill the one from Heihe Village? But she is, after all, your Majesty's and my own flesh and blood."
The emperor said coldly, "My beloved concubine, don't be soft-hearted. What flesh and blood? She's just a star of misfortune. I let her escape and live two more years in this world. She should be content now!"
Concubine Shu pondered for a moment and nodded, "For the sake of Zhu'er and the Great Yu Empire, this is the only way. If anyone wants to blame her, she can only be blamed for being the reincarnation of the evil star."
"I was right about you." The emperor took her into his arms. "There are only a handful of people I care about in this world, but the first time I saw you, I was determined to have you. I went against all odds and took you into the palace. You have never let me down."
Concubine Shu secretly clenched her fists, but her voice was extremely gentle, "Thank you, Your Majesty. As the daughter of a merchant, I am able to enter the palace as a concubine. I will always remember your kindness."
…
After Concubine Shu returned to Rongjing Palace, she sent someone to invite Fan Jieqiang into the palace.
At this time, Fan Jie Qiang was leading a group of guards to quell the riots on the street.
It is said that the riot was quelled, but in fact it was not really quelled.
The sun in the sky is shining brightly.
A group of guards protected Fan Jie Qiang in the middle. Fan Jie Qiang waved his folding fan desperately and tried his best to do ideological and political work for the rioting people.
"Listen to me!"
"Don't be impulsive. There will be no good consequences if you disobey the court!"
"If we fight with real weapons, you will be no match for their regular army!"
"All crows are black. Changing the emperor to a new one will only change the substance of the matter!"
Seeing that he was talking more and more outrageous, the guards wanted to shut him up.
"Sir, why don't we go back?" Zhao Jia was speechless. "Sir, you don't hold any official position. This is not something we should get involved in!"
"Nonsense! How can you be said to be meddling?" Fan Jie Qiang glared at him, "Who is my sister? Consort Shu! The most favored concubine in the palace! Who is the emperor? My brother-in-law! I must help with this matter!"
"Get out of the way! Who wants to listen to a dandy boy like you?" someone among the people shouted, "The Emperor and Concubine Shu have confused the lucky star with the unlucky star! You, the Fan family, even grant the unlucky star's wishes! The Dayu Dynasty is in this state, all because of you fools!"
"That's right! Get out of the way, don't get in the way! Otherwise I'll hit you too!"
The people rushed forward.
"Okay, okay, I'm leaving!"
Fan Jieqiang couldn't argue with him, after all, he didn't understand what the lucky star and the unlucky star were all about;
Second, he didn't want to really fight with the people.
At this time, someone came over to announce: "Sir, the Concubine Shu wants you to enter the palace immediately!"
"Okay, we'll be there right away!" Fan Jieqiang called out to his men, "Let's go, let's go into the palace!"
All these words fell into the ears of the eagle-eyed person who was disrupting the situation in the crowd.
Hawkeye stared blankly at Fan Jie Qiang's back, clenching his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh.
So stupid!
Why didn’t I think of this when I was in Heihe Village!
There is a man named Fan in Beijing who does big business!
Who else could it be except the family of that bitch in the palace? !
…
Fan Jie Qiang had not ridden his horse far when he heard a loud "boom".
Then came the cheers of the common people: "The city gate has been broken! The peasant army has entered the city!"
"Is this true?" Fan Jie Qiang asked in disbelief. "How could a country's capital be conquered so easily? What are the imperial army doing? Let's go and take a look!"
"Sir! It's important to go to the palace! What are you looking at now?"
Zhao Jia and Zhao Yi were under a lot of pressure. With such a big riot, if the young master was hurt by a hidden arrow or something, they would not be able to complete their mission!
Fan Jie Qiang rode his horse away in an instant.
"Hurry up and protect the young master!"
Before the group reached the city gate, they saw a large number of peasant soldiers rushing in, wielding hoes and shovels.
The guards quickly pulled Fan Jie Qiang aside.
Fan Jieqiang said in disbelief: "With just these people, can we break through the city gate?"
At this time, the imperial reinforcements finally arrived.
The two sides started fighting.
Although the peasant army was brave, their weapons were weak and they were soon at a disadvantage.
"Let's go to the palace!" Fan Jieqiang breathed a sigh of relief. "Judging from the current war situation, my brother-in-law's throne is secure..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a thunderous roar: "Get out of the way!"
Then, a figure flew down from the city wall.
The man was tall and held a long weapon.
With a "whoosh" sound, the weapon swept through with the power to swallow mountains and rivers.
Wherever they went, all the imperial soldiers were defeated and no one escaped.
"Who is this man?" Fan Jie Qiang was stunned. "Everywhere he went, there was no grass growing! I finally know how this city gate was breached!"
Zhao Jia and Zhao Yi said in unison, "This man is even more powerful than Xiao Jiu'er's father from Heihe Village! It really is true that there are always people who are better than you!"
"Xiao Jiuer..." Fan Jie Qiang read the name, and a surge of joy surged in his heart.
If Xiao Jiuer is really my sister's flesh and blood, then he is my uncle!
He doesn't understand such mysterious things as good fortune and bad luck.
In short, in his heart, he likes Xiao Jiuer more than Princess Mingzhu! Although Xiao Jiuer almost made him a "robber", he is happy to be tricked by her!
In the blink of an eye, the terrifying man appeared in front of them.
"Young master, hurry up!" The guards pulled his horse back.
"It's over! My brother-in-law's throne is on the line!" Fan Jie Qiang said anxiously, "Take a shortcut to the palace! This guy might break into the palace! My sister is in danger!"
