1766 Token, the Ninth Prince's Crisis

The Ninth Prince was far away in Yecheng, watching the bloody storm in Liancheng with a smile. The power change was impossible for Liancheng to do nothing. After dealing with the turmoil caused by the Ninth Prince, Liancheng wanted to fight back, but then they thought: where is the Jiuzhou token? Without the Jiuzhou token, how can they command those forces hidden in the dark?

The Ninth Prince erased Lan Jiuqing's existence, but he did not hand over the Jiuzhou Token. What is Lan Jingyang without the Jiuzhou Token?

The eldest princess handed Liancheng over to Lan Jingyang and returned to Xuanyue Palace. Liancheng and the other elders had no choice but to look for Lan Jingyang. Lan Jingyang was startled at first, then said nonchalantly: "It's just a token. From today on, the Jiuzhou token has no use and no longer represents the Lan royal family.

Everyone was speechless, looking at the things of Lan Jingyang's ancestors with a bewildered look. They have been passed down for thousands of years. If you say they are useless, then they are useless.

Some people raised objections, but Lan Jingyang suppressed them forcefully and made a mandatory rule that the Jiuzhou Token be invalidated. Several elders tried to persuade him, but Lan Jingyang refused to listen.

“Master, without the Jiuzhou token, our people hiding in the dark will not obey your orders. They only recognize the orders and not the people.” Several old men were in tears, and Lan Jingyang’s face was also very ugly. The token was in Dong Lingjiu’s hands. If Dong Lingjiu didn’t hand it over, how could he get it?

"The token died with Lan Jiuqing. Are you asking me for a fake token? Whoever thinks that the Jiuzhou Token is important can go and get it for me. I will record his merit as a great deed." His aunt had already said that, and of course he knew the importance of the Jiuzhou Token, but what could he do now that he didn't have it?

"This..." Everyone looked at each other, and in the end no one dared to agree to obtain the token, so the matter had to be put aside for the time being.

In order to prove that the Jiuzhou token was useless and to establish his own authority, Lan Jingyang thought about it again and again and finally decided to fight back. The first step of the counterattack was to cut off the Nine Emperor Uncle's left and right arms - Xuanyi Valley.

Xuanyi Valley is a force left over from the previous dynasty and is also the most loyal force to the previous dynasty. It has made great contributions to the Ninth Prince's war horses. The Ninth Prince's huge income of gold and silver in his early years came from the medicine made by the master of Xuanyi Valley.

It can even be said that without the support of Xuanyi Valley, the Ninth Prince would not have reached this height so quickly. In addition to the silver, the medical skills of Xuanyi Valley also helped the Ninth Prince to win over many generals. The reason why there were people from Xuanyi Valley around Feng Qingchen's father was not entirely a coincidence, but Xuanyi Valley wanted to win over Feng Zhan.

Of course, this was not an order from the Ninth Prince, as he did not have such great power at that time.

Xuanyi Valley can be said to be a powerful aid to the Ninth Prince's. The Valley Master knows the Ninth Prince's better than those people in Liancheng. There are even many things that the Ninth Prince would rather tell the Valley Master than let the people of Liancheng know.

If the master of Xuanyi Valley follows Liancheng's instructions and no longer recognizes the Ninth Uncle as his master, or even stabs the Ninth Uncle in the back, it will definitely cause the Ninth Uncle to suffer pain for a long time, or even seriously injure him.

Lan Jingyang's choice of Valley Master was also the result of careful consideration.

After Feng Qingchen paid tribute to Lan Jiuqing and met up with Sun Sixing to go to Yecheng, the master of Xuanyi Valley received a secret letter from Liancheng.

The letter bluntly stated that Lan Jiuqing had been removed from the Lan family genealogy, and the Lan family no longer had this person. All old subordinates of the previous dynasty must return to Liancheng and can only obey Liancheng's orders in the future. The Jiuzhou token will no longer represent the Lan royal family.

The letter required the Valley Master to withdraw from Jiangnan immediately and take inventory of all of his resources and connections. In the future, all of these resources and connections must be used on Lan Jingyang to pave the way for Lan Jingyang.

Lan Jingyang was smart enough. He knew that his prestige was not enough, so he did not dare to ask the Valley Master to hand over the connections and resources of Xuanyi Valley to him. But even so, the Valley Master was very angry.

"Humph... funny, you said that the Nine Provinces Token does not represent the Lan family, then it does not represent the Lan family. Who do you think you are? What do these people think of me? They want me to go east and I will go east. They want me to jump into the sea and I will jump into the sea."

The owner of the valley was furious and paced back and forth in the room.

The Ninth Prince was so unkind that he didn't reveal any information beforehand. What should he do now?

The Valley Master grabbed his hair with both hands, feeling extremely annoyed. Chi Lianshui and Guo Baoji saw the Valley Master's silly look at the door, and the two brothers looked at each other and retreated tacitly...

Everyone has been feeling restless and irritable lately, so maybe it's time to take some medicine to calm the mind and reduce internal heat.

One move can affect the entire body. The three words "Lan Jiuqing" represent too many things, not to mention the Jiuzhou token in his hand.

Although the Ninth Prince gave up his identity as Lan Jiuqing, it does not mean that he has given up everything. He is not that stupid.

He doesn't need those who sit on the fence and can't work for him wholeheartedly. But he will definitely hold the Jiuzhou token in his hand. What does it matter if Lan Jingyang claims to be a direct descendant? Without the Jiuzhou token, only the old guys in Liancheng will be loyal to him. Who outsiders will take him seriously?

Because the Nine Provinces token was still in his hand, there were more things to deal with later. The Ninth Prince was busy with the war and had to deal with the impact of Liancheng affairs. He had not slept for four days and three nights. When the army mentioned the Ninth Prince, everyone gave him a thumbs up and said they admired him.

It was another morning, and the Ninth Prince leaned back in a chair to take a short rest. Less than a quarter of an hour later, footsteps were heard outside the tent. The Ninth Prince opened his eyes, rubbed his brows, and tried to wake himself up.

Soon, the messenger's powerful voice rang out from outside the tent: "Report."

"Come in." The Ninth Prince's voice was a little hoarse. He picked up the tea beside him, but found that the tea had already gone cold. The Ninth Prince immediately lost interest in drinking it.

"Your Highness, here's a letter from the capital." The messenger was accustomed to delivering the letter box to the Ninth Prince's tent every day. He put the letter box down as he did before and retreated without the Ninth Prince's order.

The letter was from Wang Jinling, and it described some developments in the capital, and also... Feng Qingchen's departure for Yecheng.

"Finally here." The Ninth Prince smiled in disappointment, and his cold face softened a little. Feng Qingchen's coming to Yecheng meant that the crisis between them was resolved.

Continuing to read on, the smile on the Ninth Prince's face froze, and there was a hint of weirdness in it.

It turned out that Feng Qingchen had already decided to come to Yecheng, but before leaving, she received the news of "Lan Jiuqing's" death, which immediately disrupted Feng Qingchen's pace.

Feng Qingchen changed her itinerary and went to pay tribute to Lan Jiuqing first before meeting up with Sun Sixing to come to Yecheng.

"If I had known, I would have let Bu Jingyun come to the capital two days later." The Ninth Prince felt very regretful. For Feng Qingchen, the news of Lan Jiuqing's death would at most make him sad for a while. Knowing it earlier or later would not have had much of an impact.

Unfortunately, knowing this earlier is priceless, and the Ninth Prince can only wait anxiously for Feng Qingchen and Sun Sixing to come to Yecheng.

Before this, the Ninth Prince's mood had obviously improved a lot because of this incident. Not only Yuwen Yuanhua and others, but Ye Ye also noticed that the Ninth Prince's mood had become very good recently, and this made Ye Ye feel panic and uneasy.

If the Ninth Prince is in a good mood, it means he is going to be in trouble!

Words to readers: I am a good kid... The Ninth Prince is definitely not a kind person. Lan Jingyang has been courting death. Ye Ye is probably just a little better than him. --
