Chapter 25 Is the victory in front of you the beginning or the end?
[69 Book Bar-www.] In the imperial study room of the Imperial Palace of Yu State, the emperor’s back was turned to Xiao Yuchen.
After hearing the news he brought back, he finally sighed and said, "Chen'er, you have worked hard these past six months. With this dragnet, let's see how much trouble they can make."
Yes! After working hard for half a year, just to arrange all this, he even lost his fruit.
I just hope that this will end soon so that he can go to the ends of the earth to find the fruit.
But no one expected that the other party's first plan was to assassinate Xiao Yuchen.
The night in the palace was as quiet as ever. When Xiao Yuchen returned to the palace exhausted, everyone except the servants in his south courtyard had already fallen asleep.
Habitually, I want to go for a walk in the east courtyard. Every time I'm by the lake, I seem to be able to feel the breath left by Guo'er... I close my eyes, and the memories about Guo'er in my mind begin to wake up little by little.
At this moment, several black shadows flashed down from the wall, and the sharp swords in their hands shone coldly in the moonlight.
Xiao Yuchen was alert to the murderous aura behind him. The moment he turned around, he pulled out a flexible sword from his waist. The opponent was a group of masked men wearing night clothes, all of them fierce.
Xiao Yuchen thought to himself that the other party was really generous and sent eight dead soldiers to deal with him. But there was no time to think about this now. The leader had already launched a fierce attack with deadly moves. Xiao Yuchen's weakness
The sword is not a vegetarian, no matter how vicious the moves are, it cannot hurt him in the slightest.
The other seven people gathered around, all using deadly moves. Facing the eight masters, Xiao Yuchen had no choice but to counterattack and defend. A soft sword shuttled between the eight people to resist, creating dazzling sparks.
For a moment, it was hard to tell the difference. The leading man in black had an inexplicable glint in his eyes. He even used a unique move to confront Xiao Yuchen.
But the enemy behind him seized this opportunity, and a cold light came closer and closer to Xiao Yuchen. At this moment, a woman in green jumped over and blocked the sharp sword less than half a meter away from Xiao Yuchen.
.
Everyone paused.
Xiao Yuchen quickly turned around and caught the shaky body. It turned out to be Concubine Yun.
When the opponent launched another attack, another man in black appeared, wearing a black robe and a black eye patch, with two calm eyes.
Xiao Yuchen carefully put Concubine Yun in his arms aside, turned around and fought side by side with Feng. After a fierce fight, there were still three people left on the other side.
Xiao Yuchen and Feng looked at each other, and used close-quarter tactics to quickly tap the acupuncture points of the three people. He wanted to stay alive.
But two of the men in black clenched their teeth, black blood flowed from the corners of their mouths, and they all fell down.
The leader, on the other hand, looked at Xiao Yuchen with disbelief. The originally unruly look in his eyes was not hatred at this moment, but like admiration.
Xiao Yuchen was surprised that the most vicious leader did not commit suicide like the others. However, he didn't want to care about it now and ordered Feng to take him into the secret dungeon of the palace.
He turned around and ran towards the green figure on the ground, half-hugged her and helped her up.
"Why did you do that?" Xiao Yuchen did not expect that Concubine Yun would block the sword for him.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... this is the first time you hug me." As he said this, he gave a pale smile.
"Why!" Xiao Yuchen roared again.
Concubine Yun shook her head slightly, her breath was already very weak, but she still opened her mouth and said everything she wanted to say.
"My lord... you know everything about my father, right... The original plan to use me as a pawn failed... Now you still won't let me go... I was the one who poisoned the princess's sister half a year ago. That girl Xin'er is so stupid. Back then...
I rescued her from the street, but she lost her life... She took the blame for me with her life... But I have to pay for this life myself." As he spoke, a mouthful of blood left the corner of his mouth.
"Concubine Yun, stop talking...you won't die." Xiao Yuchen tried to interrupt her.
"No, I want to say...Actually, I didn't have to kill the princess sister...but I still did it. Even if I didn't want to...my father would find someone else to kill her. At that time, because you were investigating something, they were afraid of something.
Exposed...I wanted to use the princess's poisoning to lure you back...but the princess's sister disappeared..."
Xiao Yuchen had known this for a long time, but when Concubine Yun said it, he still couldn't help but feel sad.
"Chen... I'm sorry... I caused you to lose the princess... If you find the princess, say sorry for Yun'er... In the attic of the north courtyard, I embroidered... the peonies she liked... and gave them to her for me..." Another mouthful of blood
, dyed Xiao Yuchen’s moon-white robe red.
Xiao Yuchen hugged her tightly. Yes, for the first time in these years, he held this concubine who had been neglected by him in his arms.
He knew that none of this was her fault, but he never treated her well.
"Chen... I'm so happy... to die in your arms... that's enough... Chen... I... love you..." After saying the last sentence, he slowly closed his eyes, with tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, but a smile at the corners of his mouth.
…
Xiao Yuchen held her tightly until the person in his arms no longer felt any warmth.
It seems that they will take action tonight. Ling, Leng, and Yu are also waiting to close the net...
At the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Shuo took out the military talisman and left the house happily. All this must be thanked to the third prince! As a prime minister, how could he have any military power? If that idiot prince didn't also want to be the emperor, how could he have used the military talisman?
Steal it to him?
When this plan succeeds, we still don’t know whether this Yu country’s surname is Li or Xiao?
At the Ministry of War, "Ling" took the military talisman and mobilized 300,000 troops out of the city overnight. With the emperor's decree in hand, all military commanders cooperated. Soon, a total of 300,000 troops were ambushed on the main road into the imperial capital.
When Prime Minister Li Shuo rushed to the Ministry of War triumphantly, he found that hundreds of thousands of troops had disappeared out of thin air. He screamed inwardly, but was stabbed by the sudden appearance of Leng, and then some guards came over and tied him up directly.
"Leng, you are so brave! You are just a small follower of the Fourth Prince, how dare you be rude to me?"
Leng glanced at him contemptuously and said disdainfully: "Yes, I am just a follower, but you will soon be brainless. What does a brainless prime minister have to do? Come here! Search for his fake military talismans.
!Look how he quibbles!"
Li Shuo was stunned, and then he realized that he had fallen for Xiao Yuchen's advice. Could it be that the idiot third prince was pretending to be with him?
The army of the Kru Kingdom had already been waiting for the opportunity in the territory of the Yu Kingdom. The blue signal in the direction of the imperial capital was seen lighting up in the sky. The leader of the team gave an order and led 150,000 cavalry into the ambush circle of the Yu Kingdom army.
.
It’s not surprising at all, because another confidant of Xiao Yuchen, “Yu”, had already sneaked into the enemy’s army, killed the enemy’s commander, disguised himself as him, and arranged the route this time. That’s 300,000 yuan.
