A Cai's work: The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1764 Broken Circuit, You Do the First Day and I Will Do the Fifteenth

Although the Ninth Prince was at the border of Night City, news from all over the country continued to flow in, and orders were issued one after another. Even when he was not there, he could still remotely control the affairs of the city.

The reactions of Liancheng and his gang did not escape the Ninth Prince's eyes and ears. However, as for the news about that aunt, his men were unable to find any information at all.

"She's hiding it really well." The more this happened, the more the Ninth Prince became wary of this person. He secretly ordered his men to pay more attention to this woman and report any news about her immediately.

The reaction of the people in Liancheng was within the expectations of the Ninth Prince. He didn't take the words that cursed him seriously at all. This was just the beginning. He arranged all this not just to abandon Liancheng. He never showed mercy to his enemies, even if the enemy was his former ally.

Before arranging Lan Jiuqing's "death", the Ninth Prince notified his direct subordinates in Liancheng to retreat. All valuable things were evacuated and those that could not be taken away were burned, leaving absolutely nothing of value for Liancheng.

Although the City Lord Lian thought of the Ninth Prince's backup plan as soon as he heard the news of Lan Jiuqing's death, the Ninth Prince was calculating while they were not. Even if Liancheng reacted quickly, it could not be faster than the Ninth Prince's men.

When the Lord of Liancheng ordered people to check the weapons factory, medicine garden and other important places built by the Ninth Prince in Liancheng, they found that they had been emptied long ago, and all the objects were tilted. Before they even got to the granary, they saw a huge fire that illuminated half the sky.

It’s gone, everything is gone.

At some point, the Ninth Prince's men quietly disappeared. If these places had not been empty, no one in the city would have known about it. As early as half a month ago, the number of people leaving the cities had increased sharply, and these people never came back after leaving the cities.

Seal the city... Search the city. The city lord ordered that any suspicious person was not allowed to leave the city. For a time, the people of Liancheng were panicked and unprecedented chaos broke out. Even if the city was sealed, it could not stop these people from leaving the city. One by one, they picked up weapons and fought with the soldiers guarding the city. When the Liancheng army arrived, they saw that they had already met with the people outside and rode away on their horses.

"Chase, chase!" Liancheng's generals shouted and spurred their horses to catch up. After chasing for dozens of kilometers, they didn't even see a shadow of the enemy. It was only through the hoof prints of horses that people who knew about horses discovered that this was a war horse from Xiling. They had to ride such a skinny horse that they couldn't catch up with the enemy at all.

"Go back." General Liancheng whipped his horse whip, leaving a deep mark on the ground, and the soldiers' faces looked ugly.

Although they didn't know what had happened, they had seen the chaos in Liancheng in the past two days and knew without hesitation that something had happened in Liancheng.

This situation happened more than once. The Ninth Prince's people in Liancheng were evacuated one by one. Liancheng's soldiers and horses took a step back every night, which made the Lord of Liancheng so angry that he smashed a pear wood table.

"I just don't believe that his people are always one step ahead of me. Dispatch the troops from Xingluo Town and search them one by one. Don't let any of them go. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy." The two sides have already torn their faces apart. Even if the city lord has many regrets, he must stand on Liancheng's side and resist the methods of the Ninth Prince with all his strength.

"Yes." The city lord's personal attendant went down to pass on the order, and just in time he met Lan Jingyang and the eldest princess. The attendant was about to salute, but was stopped by the eldest princess: "No need to be polite."

Before he could even kowtow and thank her, he heard the eldest princess say, "Catch this traitor."

"Yes." The guards behind the eldest princess stepped forward immediately. When the attendant saw that something was wrong, he immediately fought back, thus confirming the fact that he was a traitor.

The eldest princess was definitely well prepared this time. The four guards behind her were highly skilled in martial arts. In just half an incense stick of time, they captured City Lord Lian's attendant and brought him before City Lord Lian.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?" The Lord of Lian City was very dissatisfied with the eldest princess's behavior. You have to know that he is the Lord of Lian City, and the eldest princess has no right to make decisions in Liancheng.

The eldest princess ignored him and walked past City Lord Lian and sat down in the main seat. Lan Jingyang was standing behind her and, at the eldest princess's signal, stepped forward to explain this man's identity and origins.

Lan Jingyang said that Lian Chengzhu's attendant had long been bribed by the Ninth Prince. This was the Ninth Prince's man who had been buried by Lian Chengzhu. This man had been leaking the secrets of the City Lord's Mansion, so whenever Lian Chengzhu ordered the arrest of the Ninth Prince's men, the Ninth Prince's men would escape.

The city lord did not believe it. He had trained this attendant since he was a child, so there was no way he could be bribed. When he was about to interrogate the attendant, the attendant bit himself with poison when no one was paying attention. Before he died, he said, "City lord, I am sorry for you."

The poison kills instantly upon contact with blood, and the person loses breath instantly.

There is no evidence, the eldest princess and Lan Jingyang are not happy, and Liancheng Lord is even more shocked. At this time, a group of civil and military officials from Liancheng appeared. After asking about the cause and effect of the matter, they all questioned Liancheng Lord's control over Liancheng, believing that Liancheng Lord is old and has no energy to handle Liancheng affairs, and asked Liancheng Lord to give the position of Lord to young people to prevent similar things from happening again and destroying the foundation of Liancheng.

It was needless to say who this young man was. Apart from Lan Jingyang, there was no one younger than him. In addition, the Lord of Lian City admitted that Lan Jingyang was the young master of Lian City, so it was natural for him to inherit the position of Lord of Lian City.

Faced with the pressure from the crowd and the rebellion of Liancheng’s generals, the Lord of Liancheng spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at the eldest princess angrily: “Your Highness, you… you had planned this all along.”

The eldest princess frowned and said nothing, looking very noble and dignified, but the others couldn't stand it and spoke up for the eldest princess. Under the pressure of the crowd, the city lord handed the city lord order to Lan Jingyang with blood in his mouth.

"I hope you can hold it." The city lord used a double meaning, but Lan Jingyang pretended not to understand: "Don't worry, city lord. Jingyang will not let you down."

"I hope so too. I will watch with wide eyes." City Lord Lian glanced at the eldest princess and, under the gaze of everyone, he staggered out of the main hall like a loser, leaving Lan Jingyang there, making promises to everyone in high spirits and expressing his feelings as the city lord.

At this moment, the most dazzling person in the main hall was Lan Jingyang. Everyone's eyes were focused on him, except the eldest princess, who was staring at City Lord Lian's back in a daze with a heavy heart.

The City Lord's Order is of no use at all. What is really useful is the Jiuzhou Token. However, the Jiuzhou Token is in Dong Lingjiu's hands. Even though Dong Lingjiu erased Lan Jiuqing's existence, he did not hand over the Jiuzhou Token.

But, none of them thought of this problem. Liancheng's people died ruthlessly, but Jingyang...he probably never thought of it.

The Jiuzhou token is the symbol of the Lan family's heir. In the beginning, I gave the Jiuzhou token to An Donglingjiu for his heart, but now it seems to be a disaster.

When City Lord Lian walked out of the main hall, he saw those people who usually supported the Ninth Prince waiting for him outside. When they saw City Lord Lian coming out, they were not surprised at all. They stepped forward and patted City Lord Lian on the shoulder: "Let's go, we are old."

This sentence expressed countless bitterness and helplessness. The city lord looked back at the main hall of the city lord's mansion, his eyes were more cloudy than before.

Letting a wolf into the house is just like this.

However, Lan Jingyang did not know that his and the eldest princess' so-called meticulous plan to seize power during the chaos was only the result of the Ninth Prince secretly fueling the flames.

The Ninth Prince's foundation in Liancheng is much deeper than the eldest princess and Lan Jingyang imagined. If it weren't for the Ninth Prince's help behind the scenes, it would be impossible for Lan Jingyang and the eldest princess to take over Liancheng so quickly and smoothly...
