Quick Travel: From Beginner to Master

The capital of Da'an is still prosperous, and few people have glimpsed the waves and undercurrents under the calm surface.

The day that Tu Qiong Dagger saw finally arrived.

At night, a raging fire broke out in the direction of the palace, and the door of Cui Mansion banged. Several eunuchs anxiously led Ling Liang to rescue him.

The leader was the one who had dealt with Ling Liang before.

Turning the corner and approaching the palace gate, Ling Liang suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, someone is coming. We might as well wait for them."

Other ministers have received the news in advance and will not show up. How could anyone come...

The sound of armor scraping and heavy footsteps falling became more and more clearly audible in the silent street. The father-in-law's face turned pale at the sound, "General Cui, you, you..."

"As expected by the Holy Spirit, this general has rebelled."

Ling Liang raised his eyes and looked at the palace gate not far away. The guard heard the movement and tried desperately to close the two doors.

late.

too late.

As soon as they closed the door, before the guard who reported the news had run far away, Shu Qing led a large group of people and broke through the palace gate.

Ling Liang sincerely invited before going in: "Tonight is destined to be extraordinary. Father-in-law, do you want to watch it together?"

The father-in-law shook his head in horror, and even the hair on his body expressed his reluctance.

Ling Liang walked away regretfully.

No matter what, my father-in-law has no weapons and lacks physical skills, so it is safer to stay outside.

The fire enveloped several gorgeous palaces, burning them into charcoal, and then clinging to miscellaneous flammable materials, spreading to the surrounding buildings.

But the flames soaring into the sky are just the background. The archers on the tower and the fully armed elite cavalry below are the protagonists.

The two armies faced each other from a distance and were at war with each other.

The prince was dumbfounded and said to himself in disbelief: "Cui Zixing actually turned against him. It's impossible, it's impossible..."

How is this possible!

When did the Cui family become so bold?

They suppressed these aristocratic families mercilessly, wasn't it because they knew in their hearts that the aristocratic families did not dare to confront the royal family head-on?

After all, the aristocratic family has always cherished feathers. Once they rebelled, they would be drowned in the contemptuous spit of the world, and the noble reputation they cared about most would no longer exist.

But why are the Cui family so, so willful?

Facing the mighty army below, the prince felt a little panic.

He leaned out halfway on the tower and shouted to the general: "Cui Zixing, aren't you afraid of damaging Cui's reputation by doing this?"

After saying this, Ling Liang didn't even bother to talk to the prince.

After everything has been done, can he still care about reputation?

Reputation is important, but when it's time to give it up, you still have to put it aside ruthlessly.

Shuqing asked Ling Liang for instructions, and then began to persuade the prince's people to surrender.

The soldiers who are also Da'an don't want to do anything to their own people unless necessary.

The archers visibly hesitated.

The opponent has an overwhelming numerical advantage, and the leader is Cui Zixing, who is known as the God of War. They can't stand the prince's behavior. Should we fight this battle or not?

An archer made a determined move and turned his arrow to aim at the prince. The faces of the wavering crowd gradually became firmer.

They put down their weapons, tied up the struggling prince, and gave him to Ling Liang.

Then he joined the army.

The emperor's palace was filled with the smell of ambergris. The emperor sat on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.

"No one has come here for so long. The prince's movements have been slow."

Eunuch De looked at the emperor carefully. His eyes were still closed, but his words were filled with dissatisfaction and sullenness.

"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone over?" Eunuch De asked, speculating on the emperor's intention.

The emperor was about to nod when he heard crying outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is resting, you can't go in!"

"Bold! You are not allowed to meet the Holy One unless you are summoned. What do you want to do?"

"It is a capital offense to break into the Holy Sage's palace at night. General Cui please leave quickly!"

"..."

The crying soon died away, and the room became eerily silent.

Eunuch De shook his head, his teeth chattering with coldness, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, General Cui, he has rebelled."

As soon as he finished saying this, the door was kicked open and Ling Liang walked in slowly.

"Your Majesty, you are safe."

He smiled and greeted the emperor, but the emperor's face was as golden as paper and he didn't seem to welcome him very much.

Ling Liang felt a little melancholy, feeling that the fruits of his labor had not received the respect they deserved.

"General Cui... I dare to ask you, Your Highness, are you still alive?"

The emperor said nothing, but Eunuch De finally paid attention to Murong Yunian.

"In the eyes of Eunuch De, this general turns out to be a murderous person."

Ling Liang looked at the father-in-law who was personally serving the emperor's daily necessities, and asked Shu Qing to bring everyone in.

The prince was fine, nothing happened to the palace maids and eunuchs guarding the palace, and he didn't even kill the dragon guards hiding in the dark.

Everyone is their own master, but they are just trying to make ends meet, and there is no hatred between each other, so why fight to the death?

Seeing that those people only had their hands tied and their mouths gagged, Eunuch De felt complicated.

Throughout the ages, there have been many rebels, but few have been so benevolent.

When Degonggong used the word "kindness" to describe Ling Liang, it was a bit too beautifying.

Ling Liang was very willing to be lenient with others, but there was no need to think about the emperor and the prince. These two people conspired to kill the original owner in their previous life. Isn't it a joke to let them go?

But now we can’t send them to the Paradise immediately.

The new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, and everything has not yet settled. At this juncture, the ministers who have read the books of sages will definitely jump up and down when they commit regicide.

As soon as the literati picked up his pen, troubles came one after another.

Ling Liang was not afraid, but found it troublesome.

Just wait, it's only a month or two, he can still afford it.

Besides, the original wanted the prince to die without a complete body. Ling Liang asked him how to die without a complete body, but he couldn't tell.

There was no way around it. There were so many tortures in ancient times that it was dazzling, and there were too many punishments to choose from.

As long as the original owner recalled the tragic death of the Cui clan members under these tortures in his previous life, he would not know which punishment to choose for the prince.

The emperor had now calmed down.

He suppressed his anger, calmed down his ferocious expression, sat upright by the bed, scolded Ling Liang loudly and righteously, told him to retreat, and even wanted to leave his whole body with pity.

Ling Liang listened to the teachings with an open mind. After the emperor stopped chattering, he asked curiously: "Is your Majesty delaying time until the Imperial Guard comes to rescue you?"

Seeing the other party's fearless look, the emperor's heart dropped little by little.

His bad premonition came true in the next second - "I will give your Majesty the right word, they will not come."

Ling Liang smashed the emperor's beautiful fantasy with a smile, "The commander of the Imperial Guards was bribed with ten thousand taels of gold. Your Majesty, are you usually very picky with your subordinates?"

No one will come to save him.The emperor's body softened and he fell to the ground.

Moments before he was taken away, he asked Ling Liang: "Who opened the city gate for you?"

The gates of the capital city were impenetrable, but the army entered the city easily. There was no conflict and no one reported the news. He was extremely sure that there was their internal agent in the city.

When the emperor mentioned this matter, Ling Liang also became interested and said, "Your Majesty, you might as well take a guess."

The emperor calmly said several names, but none of them were correct.

Obviously, he completely forgot about the queen, or in other words, he didn't take the queen seriously.

Look down on women... This man was wronged.

The emperor couldn't guess it, and Ling Liang didn't tell him the correct answer.

If the queen wants to reveal her identity, that's her business. As a partner, Ling Liang will consciously keep her secret.
