Chapter 344 Emperor Canglan and the Crown Prince are both dead



A long procession followed the imperial carriage.

Just as Shangguan Ziqi had expected, there were royal relatives and ministers.

The prince rode a tall horse and guarded the imperial carriage.

The Zhu clan's ancestral temple was not far from the imperial palace, and was built three steps to the left on the east side of the palace.

Some people were not afraid of the cold weather and came out to watch.

Shangguan Ziqi had several secret guards disguise themselves as civilians and hide in the crowd, and several others hid in the houses on both sides of the road.

When passing a bend, the guard in front cannot see the back, and the guard behind cannot see the front.

Shangguan Ziqi hid in a house at the corner.

Choose the right moment, ignite a bomb, calculate the explosion time, and throw it accurately into the imperial carriage of Canglan.

A foreign object flew over and the alert imperial guards spotted it immediately.

"There is an assassin." A loud shout was heard.

But as soon as the three words 㱗 fell.

A deafening explosion sounded.

In an instant, the emperor's carriage was completely shattered, and thick smoke billowed, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Immediately afterwards, several more bombs flew in from different directions.

The entire team had no time to react. Everyone was so shocked that they didn't know what to do.

If you have a little common sense, you can escape.

But the bombs came so fast and so violently, and the loud noises kept coming, scaring people.

Then there was smoke.

The pungent smell made people cough continuously and they didn't know where to escape.

Shangguan Ziqi concentrated and threw three pieces in the position just now.

He stopped only when he thought that the emperor, the crown prince, and several princes were all doomed.

The imperial city suddenly became chaotic.

The people shouted and fled in all directions.

Some of them had heard storytellers talk about the power of the Dawei bomb.

They realized that the people from Wei were coming to the capital to drop bombs.

They all fled to the city gate; they didn't want to die.

Shangguan Ziqi and his party followed the crowd of people fleeing the city and left Jingcang City together.

By the time the city defense commanders reacted and wanted to close the city gates, they had already fled more than ten miles away.

They waited for a day in a small county town.

This is also one of the strongholds of the Wei Dynasty.

It was finally learned that Emperor Canglan and the Crown Prince were killed on the spot and their faces were disfigured beyond recognition.

Emperor Canglan's other three sons also died.

There are also many relatives.

The ministers, who were a little further away, had a few killed, but many wounded.

Countless guards were killed or wounded.

"Master, we did a great job." Yuanshan smiled foolishly.

"Okay, stop being silly. We are going to the Wei Kingdom. It's time to go to the capital.

Canglan also has a fiefdom for the third prince who is about the same age as the crown prince. I guess he will come to take charge of the situation."

"Then didn't he get the throne for nothing?" Qingfeng smiled the same way as Yuanshan.

"Yes, he was lucky to have met the prince who helped clear the way for him.

But his life will not be easy. Canglan is now a mess with thousands of holes, and it will take decades to recover. "

"It's what they deserve. It's the Canglan royal family's fault for wanting revenge. If they just lived their lives honestly and didn't offend anyone, how could this disaster have happened?" Qingfeng curled his lips and said with disdain.

"Humph, that's just a cover they give themselves. In fact, they just want to capture our Great Wei." Shangguan Ziqi saw through it.

Isn’t that what happened in the great war a hundred years ago?

If our ancestors hadn't obtained the formula for the bomb, the Great Wei would have ceased to exist long ago.

"The master said yes."

The goal was achieved, and none of the people in Shangguanziqi were lost.

Set off for the north city of Rong.

When Yu Yuanzheng received the news from the prince, she was still a little skeptical.

So fast?

They were out for only about a month.

I saw him riding into the city on a fast horse with high spirits.

Yu Yuanzheng was sitting in a teahouse, looking down.

When Shangguan Ziqi passed downstairs, he looked up and saw his wife looking at him with a smile.

"Cousin Ziqi!" Hua Xiangling shouted while waving her hands, interrupting the two people's eye contact.

Shangguan Ziqi jumped up and went in through the open window, and at the same time held Yu Yuanzheng aside a little to make it easier for him to go in.

The eldest prince too.

Shangguan Ziqi took Yu Yuanzheng's hand and sat down.

The eldest prince picked up the teapot and poured tea for Shangguan Ziqi himself.

"Thank you for your hard work." The eldest prince smiled and said as he poured water.

"How was it?" Yu Yuanzheng couldn't wait to ask about the trip.

"As I wish."

Just four simple words and everyone understood.

The trip went very smoothly.

Shangguan Ziqi took a few sips of tea and recounted his entire journey.

Hearing this, the eldest prince's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, Yu Yuanzheng smiled like a flower, and Hua Xiangling laughed so hard that she clapped her hands.

"That's great, cousin. Will there be no more enemy countries invading the Great Wei in the future?" Hua Xiangling asked the eldest prince happily.

"Yes, the Wei Dynasty will be too powerful in the future. The people will no longer have to worry about being displaced one day." The eldest prince said with a smile.

He was also in a very good mood.

During the attack on Canglan, he also led his troops to capture two cities. Although he relied on special weapons, he did capture the enemy city, which is a great achievement.

The eldest prince is also a leading general on the battlefield.

Although he did not directly go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, his good command reduced the casualties of his own soldiers and successfully defeated the enemy.

"You guys have been riding fast all the way here, right?

Let's rest for two days, and then we will return to the Chao Dynasty as soon as General Chen and General Chen arrive.

The emperor's order has arrived long ago, and he is just waiting for you to come.

I have arranged for you to guard the border.

I'll go over there later and take another look at the list and deployment. If there are no problems, follow my plan."

"Good!" Only then did Shangguan Ziqi truly feel that the burden on his shoulders had finally been lightened.

The couple exchanged glances again.

The movement in his eyes made Hua Xiangling and the eldest prince smile secretly.

But after this month, Hua Xiangling still hasn't chosen the man she wants to marry from the army.

They drank some tea and prepared to go to the government office.

As a result, Shangguan Ziqi saw that the eldest prince stood up.

Is this guy not pretending to be disabled anymore?

The eldest prince saw him looking at his leg and smiled: "During the time you were away, Divine Doctor Zeng has already cured your leg."

Hearing this, Hua Xiangling covered her mouth and laughed.

When she arrived at Rongbei City, the eldest prince had not yet arrived.

When he came, I saw him sitting in a wheelchair.

I admire him very much. I ran over and praised this cousin, who came to the border to lead troops to fight despite his disabled legs.

As a result, when cousin Ziqi was about to move, he actually stood up.

Don't avoid her at all.

Then it dawned on her.

Yuan Zheng's cousin's wife is a miracle doctor. She must have cured him long ago. He has been pretending to be disabled, just like his cousin Ziqi.

"My wife's contribution is the greatest. Remember to ask for more benefits from the emperor for my wife." Shangguan Ziqi asked exaggeratedly.

"Haha... no problem." The eldest prince laughed heartily.

Everyone knows it.

After arriving at the residence, Shangguan Ziqi looked at the arrangements made by the eldest prince and found them to be very satisfactory, so he arranged the guards according to his plan.

It will take some time for Canglan to send an envoy to seek peace.

You should urge them again when appropriate.

Shangguan Ziqi also gave them enough time.

He creates chaos and doesn't settle down so quickly.

At this time, the people had all returned to their homes.

Officials from all cities are in place.

After capturing several cities from Canglan State, the Wei soldiers did not make things difficult for the people.

Shangguan Ziqi ordered his soldiers not to harass the civilians.

When the Wei army attacked, it was so fast that the people had no time to escape.

This move made the people of Canglan, who were already worried, gradually calm down.

Except for the city defense, nothing else was affected too much.

Two days later, General Chen and his son also arrived in Rongbei City.

After discussing it, they decided to leave General Chen behind to guard the border and handle border affairs. If there were any matters that could not be handled, they would report the situation to the capital.

Shangguan Ziqi left him a thousand bombs to intimidate the Canglan Army.

However, now that the war has ceased, it is estimated that it will not be possible.

When they were about to set off, they received news from Canglan Capital.
