Li Wanming glanced at his legs which were moving normally.
Although he had already heard from Yaoyao that Shangguan Jin's leg was healed, hearing about it was one thing, but seeing it with his own eyes still shocked him greatly.
The meridians are damaged, but one pill can heal them.
It's incredible!
Yaoyao always comes up with such amazing things Li Wanming slightly closed his eyelids, a trace of deep thought flashed across his eyes.
Shangguan Jin is so angry, it seems that something big is going to happen in Xiyue.
He came at the right time! Shangguan Jin frowned and paced back and forth for a few steps, then nodded his chin at Jinshu, motioning him to come over.
Shangguan Jin handed him a jade pendant and whispered a few words in his ear.
"But……"
Jinshu glanced at Han Qi and the others guarding outside the door, then glanced at Li Wanming standing beside him, with hesitation on his face.
Shangguan Jin patted his shoulder and said, "Go quickly, I'm fine."
Jinshu looked solemn and nodded heavily, "Yes!"
Then he ran out quickly.
After he left, Shangguan Jin looked at Li Wanming with a serious expression and tone.
"Will all the people you bring use weapons like that?"
Li Wanming raised his chin slightly, "Of course!"
…
On the other side, inside the Fifth Prince’s Mansion.
Shangguan Zhi was wearing armor, and several guards were also wearing armor and standing beside him holding torches.
Looking at the soldiers in front of him, he shouted loudly.
"You soldiers have followed me to fight on the battlefield many times. I know all your hardships. We fight on the battlefield for our families to live a peaceful life, or to achieve merit and promotion, to win a bright future and bring honor to our family!"
"But now, my father is old and weak, and his mental state is no longer as good as before. He actually wants to bow to a small country like Jinyu!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd began to whisper.
Shangguan Zhi took in everyone's reactions and continued shouting loudly.
"My fellow soldiers, we have shed our blood and sacrificed our lives, but all our efforts and sacrifices have been completely wiped out just because of the weakness and incompetence of those in power. They have also completely disregarded the prestige of our great country, Xiyue!"
After that, he looked around at everyone and said loudly: "Commendations, tell me, do you agree or not?"
Everyone raised their fists and shouted three times.
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
Shangguan Zhi nodded and continued speaking.
"That would be fine, but Father wants to hand Xiyue over to that Third Prince who only knows how to drink and have fun all day long!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like an explosion.
The soldiers' discussion became louder and louder.
"Our founding emperor of Xiyue conquered the country on horseback!"
"The Third Prince doesn't even know martial arts, and he's only slightly better at writing. He spends the whole day reciting sad poems about love and sorrow. How can he take on such a great responsibility?"
"If the Third Prince ascends the throne, then wouldn't Xiyue be finished?"
…
Shangguan Zhi was very satisfied to see the crowd's angry and opposing expressions.
He shouted loudly, "Everyone, be quiet!"
"For the future of Xiyue, and for the sacrifices of the brothers who stayed on the battlefield and never returned home, I hereby declare that I, Shangguan Zhi, will today..."
As he spoke, he drew out the sword in his hand and raised it high.
“Rebellion!”
After he said this, the guards on both sides of him and the soldiers in the courtyard all raised their weapons in response.
“Rebellion!”
…
"I know very well that this is a heinous act, a capital crime punishable by death, so if anyone is afraid, just leave on your own. I will never stop you!"
Someone in the crowd hesitated and stood up.
"Your Highness the Fifth Prince, Your Highness the Sixth Prince, I'm sorry, but I have an 80-year-old grandmother and a newborn son at home. I dare not take any risks."
Shangguan Zhi nodded and asked someone to give him a few ingots of silver.
"I won't force anyone, but I hope you won't spread this matter."
"Yes, yes, I won't reveal a single word."
There was a hint of ambiguous meaning in Shangguan Zhi's eyes.
"Of course I believe you."
After the soldier left, he glanced at the guard beside him.
Afterwards, several people wanted to leave, but Shangguan Zhi gave each of them a few silver ingots and let them leave.
But no one noticed that one of Shangguan Zhi's guards had disappeared at some point.
After a while, no one mentioned leaving again. Shangguan Zhi looked at everyone and raised his voice.
"Tonight, if great things are accomplished, you will all be heroes! Wealth and splendor will be shared with you! Gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins, promotions and honors!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone cheered.
Amid the crowd's excited cheers, Shangguan Zhi pointed his sword in a direction.
"Enter the palace!"
A large group of people rushed towards the palace.
He led his troops to break into the palace, while Shangguan Jin was also making intensive arrangements for the response.
…
And in the imperial palace, inside the king's bedroom.
In the bedroom late at night, the lights are as bright as day.
The palace servants came in and out, looking panicked.
The eunuch looked anxiously at the old doctor with gray hair and beard.
"How is the king? When will he wake up?"
As he spoke, he looked anxiously at the unconscious King of Xiyue lying on the bed.
During the day, after learning that the third prince had died suddenly in his mansion, the king fainted due to anxiety and did not wake up for a long time. Even his breathing became much weaker.
The old doctor shook his head and sighed, "Alas, the king is so angry that his body is already at the end of its strength, and now..."
As he said this, he shook his head again.
"Oh no! Oh no!"
A young eunuch hurried in.
Hearing the voice, the eunuch's eyelids twitched. He took a few steps outside and angrily scolded the young eunuch.
"You are in such a hurry. What do you think this place is? How can you be so loud and shouting? You have startled the king. Watch out for your life!"
The young eunuch raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead, "Master eunuch, something happened."
"What happened?"
The young eunuch whispered, "Didn't you tell me to go to the Imperial Master's Mansion to find Daoist Qin?"
"Master Qin ran away!"
The chief eunuch was horrified, "What?!"
He paced back and forth anxiously, muttering to himself.
"It's over, it's over. There must be something wrong with that Qin guy!"
He waved his hand to let the young eunuch leave, then quickly walked to the imperial physician.
"Old doctor, you must save the king!"
The old doctor took out a pack of silver needles and said, "Now, we can only give it a try."
Then he looked at the eunuch with a serious tone.
"You stay outside and don't let anyone in to disturb me. I need absolute silence to perform acupuncture on the king."
The eunuch nodded hurriedly and made a solemn promise.
"Okay, okay, whoever wants to come in has to step over the corpse of Zajia!"
After saying that, he led the palace maids outside. As soon as they closed the door, they heard a loud shout.
"Oh no! Oh no!"
Another young eunuch rolled up the stairs.
"Godfather, something big happened!"
The chief eunuch stamped his foot and pointed at him.
"How many times have I taught you? Don't yell. What does that look like?!"
The young eunuch was gasping for breath.
"Oh no, godfather, the fifth prince has rebelled!"
