Chapter 241: I want to marry Qin Wanyue!
The little fat prince said a loud and clear sentence.
It directly silenced Emperor Jianhong.
He took a deep breath, a hint of impatience appearing on his face.
He looked at the fat prince unkindly:
"Can the prince teach me how to do things?"
"Father, you don't know."
The fat prince knelt on the ground and pointed outside the imperial study room and said:
"Qin Wanyue and Zeng Anmin, the Magistrate of Feng County, are childhood sweethearts."
"We've already decided on our marriage, how dare Fourth Brother interfere like this?!"
"If outsiders knew about this, wouldn't they laugh at me, the royal family, for competing with the people for profit?"
He finished saying this.
Emperor Jianhong was also slightly stunned.
Zeng Anmin?
"Is what the prince said true?"
Emperor Jianhong looked at the fat prince expressionlessly.
"Absolutely true!"
The fat prince knelt very straight, saluted to Emperor Jianhong and said:
"I saw it with my own eyes when I was in the Imperial College."
"The two of them are very close. Apart from the child, all the other students have seen it. You can send someone to investigate."
"In that case..." Emperor Jianhong nodded imperceptibly, then looked at the Fourth Prince and said:
"I cannot easily demolish a good deed."
"Zeng Anmin is a man of unparalleled talent and wisdom, and his character is unmatched throughout history."
"With him protecting the Qin family, no one can easily bully them."
Having said this, he stopped talking.
Some things are enough to say here.
The emperor really values Brother Quan Fu!
After hearing what Emperor Jianhong said, a look of arrogance appeared on the prince's face.
As expected, I am very good at judging people.
"But Father, I did hear some rumors."
"It is said that Zeng Anmin is also entangled with Sai Chuxue, a disciple of Xuanzhen Division."
Having said this, the Fourth Prince raised his head and looked straight at Jianhong and bowed:
"There are even rumors that he and Sai Chuxue have already committed adultery..."
Having said this, the Fourth Prince looked at Emperor Jianhong blankly and said:
"But there is no rumor that he likes or even loves Miss Qin."
He gritted his teeth and said:
"I really do like Miss Qin, and I hope my father will grant my wish."
After saying that, he knocked his head down, making a "bang" sound.
Here we are.
The prince was embarrassed.
Because what the Fourth Prince said was right.
The rumors even have some basis in truth.
Only the postures of Zeng Anmin and Sai Chuxue were leaked.
so……
At this time, he didn't know what to say.
After hearing this, Emperor Jianhong was slightly stunned:
"There's this matter?"
"Father is focused on matters of family and country, so naturally he wouldn't pay attention to what's going on in the streets. However, this matter is absolutely true."
The Fourth Prince raised his head again, a look of longing on his face;
"As a royal man, how could I not even get the woman I love?"
"Father! Please grant my child's wish!"
"No, Father! County Master Zeng is devoted to his country. How can we let his loyalty and good deeds be chilled?"
The prince became anxious again.
"Since the fourth brother likes it, then I agree."
Emperor Jianhong chuckled. "She's just a girl. As the Fourth Brother said, rumors are circulating about him and the women from the Xuanzhen Division, but Qin Wanyue hasn't said a single word that Zeng Anmin is in love with her... I guess he won't take it too seriously."
"Father!" The fat prince was so anxious that he was about to burst into anger.
"Back off."
Emperor Jianhong frowned and glanced at the fat prince.
There was a bit of a bad look on his face.
"Father! How could this be possible?!"
The fat prince was really anxious. He stood up and looked at Emperor Jianhong, his voice trembling:
"Zeng County Master is devoted to his country..."
"Alright!" Emperor Jianhong suddenly interrupted the fat prince, frowning on his face:
"If you contradict your father, you will be grounded for three days!"
"Father!"
“Back off!!”
Emperor Jianhong waved his hand directly, his face already very unfriendly:
"This is the Imperial Study, not the Eastern Palace. My words still count!"
The prince wanted to speak more, but Emperor Jianhong had already said so much, he really didn't know what to say.
"Someone, please ask the Crown Prince to return to the East Palace!"
"yes!"
Then two young eunuchs came up, held the prince up, and led him outside...
The Fourth Prince saluted Emperor Jianhong with excitement and said:
"Thank you, Father!"
…………
Out of the imperial study.
The smile on the Fourth Prince's face disappeared.
He took a deep breath and looked in a certain direction without leaving any trace.
Then he lowered his head and walked forward.
…………
Soon, he arrived at his own palace.
"Are you back?"
A voice rang in his ears.
The Fourth Prince looked around but didn't see any outsiders.
But there was no surprise on his face at the voice.
A smile appeared on Wang Yuanhao's gentle face and he said:
"Just as you expected."
"That fat guy actually dared to contradict Father in public in the Imperial Study."
"The Emperor also confined him to the East Palace for three days."
"He can't go anywhere for the next three days."
"Haha." The voice chuckled, with a hint of excitement in the voice:
"Then... the action begins."
…………
Xuanzhen Division.
The eldest princess smiled:
"With Master Tianshi here, I feel at ease."
"Haha, it's just mutual benefit." Master Xu chuckled, picked up the tea on the table and placed it in front of his chest.
"Then I will take my leave."
The eldest princess kept smiling, slowly stood up, bowed to Master Xu, and walked out.
"Your Highness, take care."
Xu Tianshi waved his hand, stood up, took a sip of tea and said:
"I won't see you off."
…
Out of the Xuanzhen Division.
The smile on the eldest princess's face slowly disappeared.
Her eyes looked towards the south with deep emotion, and she murmured with her red lips slightly parted:
"With the participation of Xu Tianshi, the spiritual mine can be mined boldly."
After he finished speaking, he was about to move forward.
However, a figure blocked her way.
"Your Highness, I have something to report."
A familiar voice sounded.
The princess looked at the familiar person in front of her, and her eyes, like autumn water, blinked gently:
"What is it?"
"It's urgent!"
…………
The next morning.
Bai Ziqing led Si Zhongxiao and the other two out of the capital.
After the two of them left the capital.
The fourth prince also left the palace and headed towards the Jiaofangsi in the capital.
The entire capital city was no different from before.
Zeng Anmin also punches in for work on time.
After work, I headed home.
A day passed.
The entire Kyoto is operating normally.
Until...night falls.
Ningguo Mansion.
"Meet Duke Ningguo."
A figure covered in armor swayed in the candlelight.
"Um."
Ningguo Duke Li Jian was sitting on a chair at this time, with a trace of vicissitudes of life on his face.
His gaze was sharper than ever.
Those sharp eyes looked straight towards the capital.
"Go, it's your turn to guard the Imperial City today."
There was a hint of depth in the voice of Duke Ningguo.
"yes."
The man glanced at Duke Ningguo.
Then he walked towards the outside of Ningguo Mansion.
He entered the capital.
Hand over the token on your waist.
After confirmation, bow to him.
His face was calm as he stepped onto the top of the Suzaku Gate.
Under the light of torches.
The man's face also slowly emerged.
Commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, Wang Di!
At this moment, there was a hint of excitement in Wang Di's eyes.
He swallowed against his dry throat.
Look into the distance.
With his eyesight.
It seems that you can see the undercurrent hidden in the darkness!
That is the undercurrent in armor!
"Commander Wang."
A voice rang out.
It's his deputy.
Wang Di looked at the deputy, his voice full of depth:
"What is it?"
The deputy lowered his voice:
"30%."
"30%?"
Wang Di narrowed his eyes and looked at all the soldiers on the city wall.
Some soldiers were yawning.
Some soldiers held the sharp blades tightly in their hands.
"That's enough."
He spoke lightly:
"After tonight, you and I... have a bright future ahead of us."
"yes!"
A hint of excitement also flashed across the deputy's face.
…………
The dark night is like a giant beast that can devour people.
Night in the capital.
People from the Imperial City Bureau were patrolling the streets.
People from the Dali Temple were patrolling the streets.
There are checkpoints, either open or hidden, on almost every street.
A team of about a thousand people walked silently on the street in front of the Suzaku Gate.
It's long past curfew now.
There was not a single citizen wandering in the streets.
This sudden appearance of a thousand-man team was extremely eye-catching.
“Who is it?!”
A group of people from the Imperial City Bureau were bragging and talking nonsense.
After chatting and laughing for a few minutes, someone suddenly looked into the darkness.
Hearing his words, the remaining colleagues were all shocked.
Turned around subconsciously.
“Chiu!!”
“Chiu!!”
“Chiu!!”
A few barely perceptible sounds of arrow feathers were heard.
Those people from the Imperial City Bureau didn't even react.
He fell to the ground instantly.
"Pfft."
"Pfft."
The body hit the ground with a sound.
"Da, da, da."
The team of a thousand people was like a devil in the darkness. Apart from the light footsteps, there was no noise at all.
And that team was released last.
A figure slowly put away the bow and arrow in his hand.
"Ahem."
He put the bow and arrow between his hips.
There were two coughs.
In the dim moonlight.
His hair looked gray.
At this time, he was wearing armor.
In his hand was a very eye-catching spear.
Li Jian, Duke of Ningguo.
The first-class duke of the Great Holy Dynasty!
Now, there is only one healthy third-rank warrior left in the entire capital! !
After he put away the bow and arrow in his hand, he raised his head calmly.
With his eyesight, he could even see the eyes of the commander of the Imperial Guards named Wang Di who was standing on the top of the city wall.
They were nearly seven hundred steps apart.
The two looked at each other.
They all nodded slowly.
"The third wave..."
Ningguo Duke Li Jian murmured faintly:
"I didn't realize it before, but there are quite a few guards patrolling the capital."
There was a calmness in his voice.
He is a third-rank martial artist.
Nothing in this world can touch his emotions anymore.
But...actually there is.
Duke Ningguo looked in one direction with a deep gaze.
That was the home of Zeng Shilin, the Minister of War.
Among the Shangshu.
A teenager might be sleeping there tonight.
That young man would never have imagined that when he woke up tomorrow, the world would be completely different...
"hehe."
Duke Ningguo sneered.
In his heart, Zeng Anmin was not even his opponent.
The person who really gave him a headache was actually the Minister of War Zeng Shilin.
only……
No one could have imagined it.
I will not fight with you, Zeng Shilin.
"Fighting back and forth is quite troublesome."
"It would be better to just change the world."
Duke Ningguo Li Jian led his men and walked step by step towards the Suzaku Gate.
finally.
The team of a thousand people slowly approached to within a hundred steps of the Suzaku Gate.
“Who is it?!”
The guards on the city walls are not blind.
Even if you are dozing off, you can still see people a hundred steps away!
"alert!!"
A long sound suddenly stretched out.
But he hasn't said much yet.
“Chiu!!”
An arrow feather had already pierced his throat.
"Shhh~"
"kill!"
Duke Ningguo put away the bow and arrow in his hand.
Without the slightest hesitation, he narrowed his eyes and leaped! !
A distance of nearly a hundred steps!
He jumped directly onto the city wall!!
"kill!!"
After hearing what Duke Ningguo said, the thousand-man team no longer hesitated and headed towards the top of the city wall.
"Brothers! The Embers of the Long Night!!"
Seeing this, Wang Di no longer hesitated. He shouted loudly and swung the long sword in his hand. A royal guard beside him fell to the ground and died!
"The Embers of the Long Night!!"
When his deputy heard this, he also shouted loudly.
The people belonging to Wang Di also surfaced.
“Crack!!”
The gate defense formation of Suzaku Gate has not been activated.
It was opened directly.
"boom!!"
As the Suzaku Gate was opened.
The team of more than a thousand people entered without any hindrance.
Advancing towards the imperial city at a rapid speed.
"kill!!!"
The battle on the city wall didn't last long at all.
There is Wang Di as an insider.
With the support of the third-rank warriors of Ningguo Duke, the battle was over in less than half an incense stick of time.
"My lord!"
Wang Di was holding a big knife, and his armor was covered in blood.
He bowed respectfully to Duke Ningguo.
He knows.
Victory is not far away.
This most difficult step was completed so quickly.
As for the rest... He glanced at the team of nearly a thousand people inconspicuously.
Shadow Rider.
The most elite team in the entire Great Holy Dynasty!
Although there are only a thousand people.
But... enough!
The balance of victory has tilted heavily in their favor!
With the third-rank Duke of Ningguo Li Jian here, tonight's event will definitely succeed! !
"Go to the East Palace and kill that fat guy."
Ningguo Duke Li Jian looked at Wang Di solemnly:
"If that little fat guy doesn't die, there will be big trouble."
"clear!"
Wang Di bowed to Duke Ningguo and walked straight into the distance.
Duke Ningguo glanced indifferently at the thousand shadow riders and said to the leader:
"Follow the original route plan and push forward all the way."
"I will go to Qiankun Palace first to help Your Majesty ascend to immortality."
"yes."
After receiving the order, the man led his army towards the deep palace.
Duke Ningguo took a breath.
He first looked in one direction of the palace.
"Hua'er, after your father accomplishes his great task tonight, you will be the most noble woman in the world!"
His voice was a low whisper.
The next moment.
His body rose out of thin air.
Flying into the darkness!!
…………
East Palace.
Wang Di held the long knife in his hand and stretched out his legs.
"Bang!"
The door is open.
He walked forward with an expressionless face.
I just entered the East Palace.
His body stopped.
Because there was someone blocking his way.
A woman.
The eldest princess slowly turned around and looked at Wang Di with a deep gaze:
"General Wang, why did you come to the East Palace so late at night?"
See the eldest princess.
Wang Di's expression suddenly changed.
