Prince Xian's rebellious intentions were obvious, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that he could not defeat the Empress.
Not to mention him, even if he joins forces with the other two kings, he will not pose much threat to the empress.
When the empress was in a coma before, they were unable to do anything to the court, let alone now that the empress is awake.
The purpose of him sending out heroic invitations at this time was obvious. He was afraid that the empress would liquidate them, so he recruited talents and prepared to resist the empress's liquidation.
but......
Looking at the big-headed dwarf, who was not even as tall as the table, the skinny swordsman whose body was straighter than a pole, and the one who could breathe fire, change faces, shrink bones, fly into the sky, and teach seduction techniques...
Xiao Li saw all these monsters and demons that are rarely seen in normal times at once.
This city is now as wonderful as the City of Monsters in picture books.
So, King Xian felt that he couldn't defeat her with his army and was planning to use witchcraft?
The thought of this group of people appearing on the battlefield to attack her was too daunting to imagine.
It must be said that King Xian was successful.
After all, Xiao Li is not afraid of the powerful army. This group of monsters and demons can directly attack the soul. The physical damage is unknown, but the mental damage is maximum.
There were so many people coming from all directions that Changzhou was overcrowded, and the inn was packed, with even the corridors filled with people.
Most of the people who come here are uninitiated martial artists who have not been taught by any authentic martial arts schools, nor have they actually attended school.
He is not very skilled in martial arts and has low quality, but he has a very bad temper.
They got together and started fighting soon.
The people around were watching the fun and no one tried to stop the fight; they were all just adding fuel to the fire.
"Beat him, beat him to death, beat him to death!"
"Fight back, fight back!"
"Hit him! Sweep his legs, hit his ribs, hit him!"
Xiao Li asked Rong Qing to stay and went out to take a look alone, but he was blocked and couldn't even get out of the door.
The onlookers were so excited that the fighters fought even harder, and many of the tables and benches in the inn were broken.
The shopkeeper was typing away on an abacus, and his eyes were shining with gold, showing his joy at finally being able to get new tables and chairs.
Xiao Li's eyelids twitched, and he turned around to go out the back door. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the street, an unidentified object hit him in the face.
Just as he was about to dodge sideways, he was suddenly grabbed and carried away by someone.
"Girl, be careful!"
"Bang!"
An iron ball fell to the ground with a dull sound.
The person holding Xiao Li let her go: "Miss, I apologize for the offense."
Xiao Li, who could have avoided it, suppressed his speechless mood and looked back, but he didn't expect that it was someone he knew.
Jiang Zhou, son of the prefect of Yuancheng.
Has Yuancheng surrendered to King Xian?
No, if he is here, then wouldn’t that Lu Ling be here too?
Xiao Li didn't want to be recognized by that pervert, so he nodded slightly with a serious face: "Thank you."
Be brief and to the point, then leave.
Jiang Zhou then noticed that she was wearing a veil. At a glance, he saw that there seemed to be a birthmark on her face, but what he remembered more deeply was her cold eyes.
Like ice, but extra attractive.
When Lu Ling came over, he was still standing there in a daze: "What are you doing, are you stupid?"
Jiang Zhou was too embarrassed to admit that he was distracted by a girl. "How's it going over there? Is there any sign of the King of Wei?"
Lu Ling shook his head. "At this point, it's unlikely that the King of Wei is here. However, we can't rule out the possibility that the King of Xian has hidden him well, waiting until the Heroes' Banquet is fully underway before using him as leverage to threaten the Empress."
Jiang Zhou felt overwhelmed when he thought about this.
Although the King of Wei left Yuancheng, the place where the accident finally happened was also within the territory of Yuancheng.
As luck would have it, the empress woke up at this time. The people sent by the court had arrived and were fully responsible for taking over the military forces in Yuancheng. If the King of Wei could not be found, or if something happened to the King of Wei, his family would be finished.
Lu Ling comforted him righteously: "It's okay, at worst I will take the blame, and you can take me to the Empress to report and make amends. The Empress hates the Lu family the most, and once her anger has cooled, she won't ask you to punish her."
Jiang Zhou was very touched by his brother's righteousness. It would have been even more touching if his brother was not a pervert who dreamed of dying at the hands of the empress.

Changzhou is a border city. Although it is big, it is not very prosperous and wealthy.
If it were a truly wealthy place, the emperor would not be willing to give it to the prince as a fiefdom.
The whole city is old and gray, except for the main street in the middle which is paved with stone slabs and the shops on both sides are quite decent.
Where the people live, there are bumpy dirt roads, old wooden houses, and crumbling stone houses. The people's clothes have hundreds of patches, and the children's clothes are torn. Many children even run around naked.
I don’t know if it’s because he became the emperor, but Xiao Li can’t bear to see such scenes at all.
I just felt my eyebrows throbbing, and the capitalist's evil heart was in great torment.
After realizing what he was thinking, Xiao Li laughed at himself.
Really, she was obsessed with playing games. She was trapped in this place and couldn't leave. She even grew a conscience.
Xiao Li walked around and met Zi Yue who had come earlier to inquire about the news.
The two of them stood in a deserted corner, and Zi Yue whispered, "Sister, you're truly foresighted. King Xian's hero banquet was fake, but his alliance with Yuncang and Yue State was real. The gates of Changzhou were wide open. Besides those who were just there to join in the fun, many people from Yuncang and Yue State have rushed here. They've all gathered at the southwest military camp. It seems there are at least 30,000 troops, but that's not all. I saw quite a few heading to the southeast, where there should be more troop stations."
In other words, Yuncang and Yue State have become the supporters behind King Xian.
Zi Yue was good at Qinggong, so Xiao Li asked him to go into the city first to investigate King Xian's movements. Unexpectedly, he actually found out something.
Zi Yue continued, "There are many people from Yuncang and Yue living in Prince Xian's palace. Among them are several guards with extremely high martial arts skills. I was afraid of alerting them, so I hurried back. But on the way back, I saw the Silver Armored Guards."
Zi Yue took a deep breath and said, "There are nearly thirty silver-armored guards. They seem to be the guards of King Xian."
Zi Yue has deep feelings for the Silver Armor Guards, and becoming one has always been his pursuit, but when he saw those thirty people, he felt angry and sad.
"Your Majesty, those are definitely not the real Silver Armored Guards. It is very likely that they killed the people who protected the King of Wei and stripped their armor."
Just like Yu Song who was robbed and killed by the bandits from Giant Python Mountain.
They killed people, robbed armor, and now they are wearing it in public. This is simply too much.
Xiao Li was not as excited as he was. The message she received stated that a Silver Armor Guard had died.
The Silver Armor Guard's armor is so good, it's not surprising that it was stripped off and worn by others.
But being calm doesn’t mean not getting angry.
"Don't worry, I'll make them take it off the same way they put it on."
Not everyone can wear her silver armor.
