Chapter 284 Let’s Fight
Princess Yongning died before she could even say a word.
Eunuch Wang was terrified and tried to flee, but was stabbed in the throat by Qi Yu's men who were guarding the palace gate.
Qi Yu disguised the scene, quietly returned home with his men, pretended to be assassinated, and "escaped from death."
At the same time, the palace maids in the inner court went to deliver food to their Majesty and the Queen, and were caught off guard by seeing corpses all over the floor.
"ah!--"
An hour later, the news that King Beituo, his queen Princess Yongning, and all the adult princes were assassinated by spies from the State of Cai spread throughout the royal city.
The whole city was shocked and angry.
"How dare the State of Cai become so arrogant as to massacre our Beituo royal family?!"
"We must find those spies!"
"Rise up! Rise up now! Destroy the State of Cai and avenge our national humiliation of expanding northward!"
The Cai State spy, who was hiding in the royal city and had no time to do anything, suddenly received a reward: "..."
Will they accept the credit that has been delivered to their doorstep?
However, it is easy to fool common people, but not so easy to fool princes and nobles, especially the maternal family of the murdered prince.
"If the Cai Kingdom's spies had the guts to sneak into the palace, kill Princess Yongning, and threaten Your Majesty, and then use Your Majesty to summon all the princes into the palace and kill them one by one, the Cai Kingdom would have unified the world long ago!"
"So many princes died, but only the Ninth Prince survived? He's treating us like fools."
"It was definitely Qi Yu who did it!"
Facing their doubts, Qi Yu calmly replied: "How could I, a person without even a mother's family, have the ability to kill my father and brother? You think too highly of me."
General Zuo sneered: "You are Daxi's lackey, how can you not have people under your command?"
The right general echoed, "Do you think you can take the throne by using Daxi to kill your father and brother? Dream on! Even if you kill all the remaining princes, you won't be able to sit on the throne of Beituo! We in Beituo speak only with strength!"
Qi Yu sneered: "General, are you thinking of rebellion? There is only one throne, but there are so many princes and generals. I'm afraid there are not enough to go around."
The right general said with a haughty expression: "So what if there isn't enough? The competent ones will take it."
Beituo is a nomadic empire that relies on alliances to maintain its existence, and the most powerful one becomes the king.
They would not bow down to a baby like Daxi did.
How could a young boy like Qi Yu be qualified to enter the royal court?
"In that case," Qi Yu said calmly, "then let's fight."
The two generals, who commanded tens of thousands of cavalrymen belonging to King Beituo alone, burst into laughter when they heard the words.
war?
How can a man who can't even muster a hundred cavalrymen to fight against them?
It's really ridiculous.
Qi Yu didn't wait for them to finish laughing before he drew his sword and killed them.
"presumptuous!"
The two generals didn't expect that he would dare to attack in public, and they were so angry that their beards almost fell off.
"Dare to fight us? We can beat you to death with our bare hands."
Each of them is twice as big as Qi Yu, and they have never lost in the wrestling arena. No matter how fierce the horse is, it will surrender when it meets them. Qi Yu actually wants to assassinate them one by one?
It's ridiculously naive.
The next moment, they realized that it was not Qi Yu who was naive, but themselves.
In terms of strength, Qi Yu is indeed far inferior to them.
But they didn't intend to compete in strength.
After Qi Yu rushed over, he did not confront them head-on, but relied on his flexibility and agility to wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
They saw blood accidentally.
Then……
After falling down with a loud bang, they looked at Qi Yu with their eyes wide open - it was so unsportsmanlike that he actually smeared poison on the blade.
Qi Yu killed the two generals and then took over the 10,000 cavalrymen under their command.
With tens of thousands of cavalry in front of them, even if the princes and nobles wanted to seize the throne, they would have to consider whether they could win.
Knowing that I can't win, I have to give up.
Those who wanted to give it a try were discouraged after their heads fell to the ground.
Qi Yu forcefully sat on the throne of Beituo.
But he was not happy about it.
On the day he ascended the throne, he looked far to the south, the familiar smiling face of the woman emerged in his mind, and his green eyes dimmed.
So what if I got the throne?
In the end, it's hard to accept.
Xiao Zhaolin, who had just forced his father to abdicate, felt the same way.
He endured hardships and endured for many years, and finally turned Shengguo from a defeated country into a victorious country, and himself from a hostage who was ridiculed by everyone to the emperor.
Full of joy, but no one to tell.
Hua Ling would rather stay in Daxi as a maid than go back to him.
"He must be tired of the braised pork I made."
He held his forehead and smiled bitterly.
Four years ago, in order to detoxify Hua Ling, he searched all over the world for famous doctors, and finally found a female doctor in Daxi who prescribed an antidote.
He had been poisoned by the secret guards of the Xirong Emperor. After he was detoxified, everything he ate tasted like chewing wax except the braised pork he made himself.
But Zhaoning refused to eat a single bite of the braised pork he made.
Hua Ling didn't want to eat at first, but after being detoxified, she always stared at him while he ate.
He gave her some of the meat, and she praised it highly, saying it was the best braised pork she had ever eaten.
He was skeptical.
I didn't believe it until I caught her cheating.
He thought that she was just like him, with a different sense of taste after detoxification.
From then on, whenever he made braised pork, he would give her half, and she would always eat it all without leaving a single bite.
He knew that she loved going to the opera troupe to listen to operas, and loved tinkering with disguises and acting. He never imagined that she was acting every time she ate the braised pork he made.
The moment he learned the truth from Zhaoning, he understood what she was thinking.
He was poisoned and lost his sense of taste because he broke into the secret guard camp to find an antidote for her. She felt uneasy, so she pretended that she also had a taste disorder and accompanied him to eat the strange-tasting braised pork.
What a silly girl.
After lost in his memories for a while, he made a list and called his subordinates: "Gather all the specialties listed above and send them to the caravan heading to Daxi. Have them deliver them to Wuying."
The subordinate took the order and left.
He wrote another letter to Wuying, asking him to pass it on to Hualing after receiving the specialty.
More than half a month later, Xiao Zhaoning stared at the Shengguo specialties piled up like a mountain in front of him with his eyes wide open.
"There are so many things, but there's nothing for me?"
Wuying nodded.
Xiao Zhaoning: “…”
Did the eldest brother lose his memory and forget that he has a younger sister?
She gave the specialty to Wuhua with a look of resentment on her face. Wuhua consoled her by saying, "Maybe they are all made according to his taste, that's why I won't give them to you."
Xiao Zhaoning: “…”
Thank you, I feel comforted.
After tasting it and finding it to be of normal taste, Wuhua gave her 30% and then went to share it with Feng Qingsui.
Feng Qingsui just happened to receive some Beituo delicacies sent by Qi Yu, and the two of them tasted the specialties of the two countries with great interest.
The conclusion is: the snacks made by Ji Changqing are still delicious.
Unfortunately, Ji Changqing has been too busy recently and has no time to make snacks.
Beituo and Sheng are now allies of Daxi. Cai is being watched by these three countries and dares not act rashly.
Only the coastal pirates were still jumping around.
Ji Changqing focused on people's livelihood on one hand and the navy on the other, and was determined to wipe out the pirates before next winter - so that the sailing ships could sail south with the wind in winter and go to Southeast Asia as soon as possible to find grain.
