Before long, the guards found the place and discovered that only the Marquis of Yongning was there.
He then inquired about the specific situation, asking if the Emperor had been seen.
Having held a high position for a long time, the Marquis of Yongning quickly adjusted his mindset and displayed the dignity befitting a marquis of a nation.
How could he dare to tell the truth?
It is said that his daughter, whom he never acknowledged, kidnapped the emperor and tried to force him to sit on the throne.
If these words get out, they won't even know how they died.
The cunning old man had a flash of inspiration and came up with a brilliant idea.
He only knew that he had been knocked unconscious, and vaguely heard someone mention the name of the King of Chu.
Of course, it's also possible that someone framed the King of Chu.
He didn't make his statement too absolute.
However, this ambiguous attempt to shift blame eastward pointed the finger at His Highness the King of Chu, the King of Jin's political enemy.
He was also puzzled as to why he was the target of the enemy's looting and was left here unharmed.
I would venture to guess that this is a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy by the enemy!
Anyway, he managed to fool the guards for the time being.
This matter requires careful investigation.
The most urgent task is to find His Majesty.
Marquis Yongning breathed a sigh of relief.
That rebellious daughter's misdeeds must never be revealed!
Thinking of that rebellious woman's plan to use witchcraft on the emperor to turn him into their puppet, she remembered...
If the affair is exposed, he will definitely deny his relationship with that rebellious woman to the death.
If it succeeds…
The Marquis of Yongning felt a sudden surge of excitement, his mind wandering, before he was so frightened that he quickly suppressed this audacious thought.
But once a seed has been planted in your heart, how can you resist thinking about it more deeply?
...
At this moment, Yu Shuang, carrying the emperor and a group of subordinates, took an unconventional route, using her light-footed skills to detour into the deep mountains covered with thorns.
We crossed two mountain peaks and took a rest along the way.
Some people snapped out of their excitement at helping the leader conquer the world, and as if remembering something, they couldn't help but worry:
"Master, you said you'd help the Marquis conquer the world, but he doesn't seem too keen on it..."
Yu Shuang's gaze was firm:
"Whether he's willing or not is his business; whether I give it to him or not is my business. My father was willing to painfully disown me for the sake of power. But when I truly present this world to him, I refuse to believe he'll be blind to my worth, and I refuse to believe he'll disown me!"
The bandits looked at each other, their expressions revealing a complex mix of emotions.
Even though the Marquis doesn't acknowledge the chief's daughter, the chief is not only not angry, but also wholeheartedly helps the Marquis seize the throne and acknowledge his father.
Why bother?
Although they weren't very smart, once they put themselves in his shoes, they all felt frustrated and uncomfortable.
Someone asked, puzzled:
"With the chief's abilities, what can't he get? Why is he so insistent on acknowledging the marquis as his father?"
Yu Shuang spoke with conviction.
"I grew up without parents, and I want to experience what it's like to have parents. Is that not allowed?"
Fine, fine, you're the number one boss in the world, you can say whatever you want.
So here's the question.
"Boss, are we really going to use a curse on the emperor? Where will this curse come from?"
Yu Shuang smacked him on the forehead with her backhand.
"How would I know? I just came up with this brilliant idea myself. I'll go back and ask that wise man."
ah!?
Everyone was shocked. They had thought that the leader's words, which clearly stated his intention to help the Marquis seize the world, meant that he already had a plan in mind.
I never expected it to be a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Isn't this a bit too hasty?!
Everyone was apprehensive, deeply doubting whether this makeshift team could really seize the world.
When their gazes fell upon Emperor Xia Jing, everyone felt somewhat relieved.
With the emperor in my hand, I have the world at my command!
Black Wind Village.
Lan Ruofeng, the brilliant strategist who was almost driven to the point of vomiting blood by a bunch of useless people, saw a bright figure being carried around without any regard for his image and his eyes bulged out.
To witness what I think in my heart.
Supported by two burly men, he went to meet them, but when he saw the man's face, his knees buckled.
With trembling fingers, he pointed at Emperor Xia Jing, then at Yu Shuang.
His face was filled with disbelief.
"Your Majesty...you...ah..."
Her heart could no longer withstand the shock, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
When he woke up again, someone told him, without any hesitation, a shocking conspiracy.
She even humbly asked him for advice on using Gu poison.
Lan Ruofeng thought everyone here had gone mad.
"Using poison to kill His Majesty?! Helping Marquis Yongning seize the throne?! How could you even think of such a thing?!"
Is the world so easily changed hands?
What good are these illiterate bandits, no matter how skilled they are in martial arts? How can the people of the world submit to them?
No matter how the bandits threatened or bribed him, he remained resolute in the face of death, ready to be killed or tortured at will.
He wouldn't do something like aiding and abetting evil!
He knew the leader wasn't a reasonable person, but he still risked his life to advise him and dissuade him from that idea.
Yu Shuang looked stubborn and wouldn't listen to anything, indicating that she was determined to do it.
Even if you, Lan Ruofeng, don't help her, she has plenty of ways to find a way.
He even wanted to visit southern Xinjiang in person.
Lan Ruofeng was defeated by her stubborn attitude.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, and I remembered the group of people in the acrobatic troupe.
During his time being exploited in Black Wind Village, he also learned about the situation in the village.
If we're talking about who has the best relationship with the boss, it has to be the group of people in the acrobatic troupe.
They are not relatives, but they are closer than relatives.
If the only people in this world who could persuade this leader to repent, lay down her weapons, and regain any semblance of conscience, would be this group of people.
He made a quick decision and stopped wasting his time on Yu Shuang.
