"This brave man, let's talk carefully." Gu Zhaozhao quickly raised his hand to prove that he had no weapons and no ill intentions.

"What are you, a woman, doing here in Qingji Mountain before dawn?" A cold voice came from behind, which was three points colder than the blade of a sword.

"I...I am a friend of Princess Janna. If you have any important matters, please contact her."

After hearing this, the figure behind him neatly sheathed his sword,

"Sir, I have something to ask of Princess Janna, and I would like your help to convey it to me." Gu Zhaozhao took off the cloak he was carrying and revealed his true face.

"Jialing has met Her Royal Highness the Princess." The handsome young man in front of him actually knew who she was.

"Do you know me?" It's impossible not to be impressed by such a face.

The young man did not reply, but instead advised her to leave, "Your Highness, please come back. The princess and the Ganan Army will not interfere in Beiji's internal affairs."

"I come to discuss cooperation with sincerity this time." Gu Zhaozhao looked into the young man's beautiful eyes, "I just want to talk to Jana. It doesn't matter if we can't talk."

"Well, please come with me, Your Highness."

The two of them came to a large tent and said, "Princess, Your Highness the Princess wishes to see you."

"You guys wait a moment." After a while, Jana came out slowly. Her hair was messy on top of her head. It was obvious that she had just woken up.

Jialing stood behind Jana, and the hand holding the sword skillfully braided her hair.

"What does Your Highness want from me?" She had been waiting for this day since she received the news that Xie Chengyan had been arrested, but she didn't expect that it would be Gu Zhaozhao who came to see her.

"I guess you've also heard that my husband has been wronged and his execution will be in three days. If you can send troops to help, the financial and status conditions in the future will be easy to negotiate."

Gu Zhaozhao didn't have the right to make decisions, but he still had to draw the cake.King Ganan is now similar to an investor. If he wants to get something from the internal fighting in Beiji, it is impossible without investing some capital.

"Your Highness is quite serious. What if I say that I want Xie Chengyan?" Jana said with a smile, her hands tying her hair behind her.

"The princess is joking. He already has his heart, so what's the point of coming? In my opinion, the little brother next to the princess is highly skilled in martial arts and loyal, and his looks are not inferior to those of my husband. The princess might as well consider it." Consider him."

"The guards around me are the best." Jana smiled, obviously not wanting to continue this topic, "You know, my father always keeps a low profile. I only brought more than 300 people with me this time."

"That's enough, thank you."

"Don't thank me in a hurry. The terms haven't been agreed yet." She put on an embarrassed expression, "Just like what you said, how can you guarantee it after it is completed? Can it be fulfilled?"

"What does the princess want?" Gu Zhaozhao asked.

"Let me ask you, if there is a bottle of poison here, if you drink it, I will believe you. If you don't drink it, I won't help you. Will you drink it?"

Gu Zhaozhao shook his head, "I won't drink."

"It would be best if the princess can help us. If not, our own strength is enough, but it will be more difficult. Whether to help or not is entirely up to the princess."

"Is this the sincerity of His Highness?" Jana did not expect Gu Zhaozhao's attitude. "It seems that Xie Chengyan is nothing in your heart."

Gu Zhaozhao smiled and said, "If you don't want to help me, I'll leave first. I still have things to deal with."

There are only more than 300 people who want to control my brother and Xie Chengyan through me. Don't be too fancy. Gu Zhaozhao won't fall for her tricks.

"Hey, I didn't say I wouldn't help." Jana was a little annoyed. Her father did ask her to come to Beiji with the intention of winning over Xie Chengyan, but when she saw Gu Zhaozhao succeed, she still felt a little inexplicable aggrieved.

"When you have a plan, remember to send someone to inform me. Don't forget the conditions you agreed to."

"Don't worry, I won't forget it. Thank you very much." Gu Zhaozhao smiled brightly at her. With Jana's help, rescuing Xie Chengyan would not be a problem.

Three days later, at the East City Gate, Xie Chengyan was shackled with many chains and escorted by heavy troops to the execution ground.

There was no blood on his face, and his body was covered with scars from beatings. Even if he changed into a new prison uniform, blood oozed out in large areas, which was shocking.

The two nobles in the Beiji Palace were now sitting upright on the city tower, with all the ministers in the court standing beside them, and those who didn't know thought it was some kind of happy event.

The prince and the queen also had a very rough two days.Just dealing with the rumors, the whereabouts of the Tiger Talisman still cannot be found out.

If the time hadn't come yet, they would really have wanted to send Xie Chengyan back to the west immediately.

Gu Zhaozhao stood outside the city gate and waited anxiously.

Xie Beiluo did not bring Yu Beiye back, nor did he bring back the tiger charm.

Yu Beiye said that he would convince his father. Yu Beiye said that the sons of the Yu family were all loyal and loyal. Yu Beiye said that he would definitely bring the army over, but there is no news yet.

In addition, Gana's 300 men had not arrived yet. If she could not see the army, she would not take action to avoid exposing her identity.

Now they can only rely on the secret guards lying in ambush near the tower to fight to the death.

The execution time is getting closer...

Vice General Pei waved to his men to prepare. Following his order, cold arrows shot through the air towards the nobles on the tower.

Suddenly there was chaos above the city tower.

"They want to kidnap Xie Chengyan! Protect him quickly!" The palace guards reacted immediately, surrounded the tower, and blocked the dignitaries with their flesh and blood bodies.

The first round of attack by the hidden guards failed.

"Execution! Execution immediately!" Xie Duming shouted down.

In the midst of the chaos, a young man rushed into the city gate on horseback.

"Yu Beiye!" Xie Duming was pleasantly surprised when he saw him. When he saw the army following him, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

"Yu Beiye, what do you mean? Private soldiers are not allowed to enter the imperial city. Do I still need to teach you this rule?"

The archers on the city tower fully drew their bows and pointed them at Yu Beiye.

"The tiger talisman is here. By the order of the late emperor, I will protect the new master Xie Chengyan to the death." The young man raised the tiger talisman in his hand. Although there was a wound on his face, his eyes were very determined.

"Tiger Talisman? Isn't the Tiger Talisman in the Prince's Mansion? Why is it in his hand?"

"Mother?!" Xie Duming looked at his mother in surprise. The Yu family was a relative of her mother's clan. Did she plan to rebel by doing this today?

"The tiger talisman in his hand is real. If you don't believe it, you can come and test it for yourself."

"General Yu! Is it really you?!" The adults on the tower were a little surprised. Although Yu Zhao had been away at war these years, no one knew about his distant reputation. In addition, he was the queen's distant cousin.

"We in the Yu family don't have a son like you. Rebellious traitors will die, so let's fire the arrow!" The chief assistant shouted, Yu Beiye was just messing around, he didn't expect Yu Zhao to appear here.

"Father, you are here..." Yu Beiye turned around. During this interval, an arrow shot towards him. Xie Beiluo didn't care so much and flew down to block the arrow.

"Well said, I will clean up the Yu family today!" Seeing that the hidden arrow was about to hurt his son, Yu Zhao became angry, drew his bow and shot at the chief minister.

The chief assistant was unable to dodge and was hit by an arrow. He fell straight from the city wall and fell into a puddle of mud.

"Yu Zhao, you are really crazy! If you stop now, His Majesty will consider letting you go. Don't risk the lives of your entire Yu family!" the queen shouted from the tower.

The Yu family's army fought fiercely with the royal guards, and the people led by Jana also joined in. The sound of the underground army's fighting had drowned out her voice.

Half an hour later, the Beiji Imperial Army was defeated, and Xie Duming and the Queen were arrested.

Since then, the rebellion subsided, the truth has been revealed to the world, and Xie Chengyan successfully ascended the throne and became the new emperor.

After investigation, it was found that the death of the late emperor was indeed caused by Xie Duming's mother and son, and an old case was involved here.

At that time, Xie Beiluo's father, the former God of War General of Beiji, was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and died fighting on the border.This then led to Xie Chengyan's mother and concubine hanging herself, and Xie Chengyan became a proton.

The mastermind behind all this was Concubine Jiang at the time and later Empress Jiang.

By the time the late emperor discovered all this, it was already too late. His power had fallen away, his heirs were few, and he was too poisoned to recover.

The useful sons were almost useless by the Jiang family, so they had to entrust the tiger talisman to Du Shu and ordered him to go and pick up Xie Chengyan.
