The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

After Fuso finished speaking, he left without waiting for Chujian’s reply, leaving Chujian sitting on the bed in a daze.

What did Fusang mean? Did he guess something? What did Chi Mei tell him? What was going on outside?

"Aunt Ruan?"

"Miss." Aunt Ruan came to the bed and grabbed her hand. "Miss, what do you need?"

"Can you tell me what's going on outside?"

"It's a mess outside now. Nan'an and Qingshui Town are both in chaos."

"Why?"

"I heard that the people of Nan'an City were dissatisfied with the court because of the death of Princess Zhan, and they openly supported Prince Zhan to seize power."

"How could this happen! Isn't it very dangerous for King Zhan to be in the capital?" This was a huge matter, and Chu Jian was panicked.

"It's hard to say. The War Prince holds the military power. If the emperor wants to take it back and he refuses, it will be very dangerous. If he gives up the military power, it will be even more dangerous. However, according to the news we heard, the emperor of your Lingyin country has fallen ill, and the War Prince is currently in charge of the government."

"He controls the government? Doesn't that mean he wants to seize power?"

"We don't know whether he will seize power, but we heard that the other princes have united. Whether the War Prince seizes power or not, it will not be easy for him. Our master said that the only way out now is for your emperor to return to the court, and don't take away his military power. But not taking away his military power is not much better, and he can only fight alone in the future."

Aunt Ruan inadvertently revealed a lot, and Chu Jian felt waves of fear in his heart when he heard it.

"Aunt Ruan, can you help me pass another letter?"

"Girl, didn't you just hand in a letter to your master? I think you should stop imagining things. You are a weak woman and can't do anything. Fortunately, you are here now and can avoid the chaos outside. Once Nan'an City is in chaos, it will immediately affect Qingshui Town. Qingshui Town is also in a mess now."

"Why is Qingshui Town also in chaos?"

"A few days ago, less than an hour after you left, a group of assassins from Lingyin Country arrived and searched for people in the city."

"Killer?"

"Yes, I don't know who they are looking for. They killed more than a dozen beautiful young women, causing panic among the people. The imperial court took the opportunity to send troops to suppress them. They are retaking the Qingshui Ferry and strictly controlling the entry of people. Anyway, it's quite chaotic outside. You just wait for news with peace of mind."

"Killed more than a dozen people?" Chu Jian felt very sad. She knew that the killers were coming for her, and now more innocent lives had died because of her. The guilt was so heavy that it made her feel a little breathless.

"Miss, Miss?" Aunt Ruan saw that her face looked strange and poured her a glass of water.

"Girl, drink some water or lie down. The master told you to take good care of your injuries. Why am I telling you all this? Come, I'll massage your legs. It will help you recover."

Outside the window that Chujian didn't know about, a guard who stayed behind caught up with Fuso who hadn't gone far, and reported to him Chujian's reaction when he heard the news from the outside world.

Fuso rubbed his eyebrows. He had already thought that this woman was not simple, but he didn't expect her to be so extraordinary.

"Master, why don't we capture her and use her to threaten Lingyinguo to renegotiate!" Chi Mei suggested.

Fuso looked off into the distance without answering.

"Master, we have been severely damaged since the last defeat in Nanbang. Last year, disasters occurred everywhere and we could only pay tribute with difficulty. This year, the situation in Lingyin Kingdom is unstable. This is a great opportunity for us to fight back." Chi Mei continued.

"Master, I think it's inappropriate. Miss Chu is just a weak woman, and she is kind-hearted. Even though she is the Princess of Zhan, she never hesitated to treat the people of Nanbang. This is a fact. Now that she is a person who has died in Lingyin Country and was hunted down and seriously injured, she can't protect herself. We can't be ungrateful and use her like this." Chi Yun said on the side. Chu Jian did give a lot for the three towns of Qingshui.

Fuso thought for a long time before looking up.

"Let's wait and see how Jing Muyang handles the riot in Nan'an and how the Emperor of Lingyin reacts. Chi Mei, even if we have the weakness of the War King, we may not necessarily win. At this point in time, we might even incur his wrath. We in Nanbang are currently unable to resist, so let them fight among themselves for a while. Tell the messenger not to go, and intercept all messages sent by Miss Chu from now on, and keep a close eye on her."

"Yes!" Chi Mei turned around and gave instructions.

In fact, Fuso had already become suspicious when he heard that Princess Lingyin Guozhan had fallen into the water and they happened to rescue a drowning woman downstream. With the addition of those assassins, he became even more suspicious.

When he first started to suspect her, she helped him get rid of the plague in Qingshui Town; when he wanted to let her fend for herself, she came to his rescue and even said frankly that it didn't matter if they died together; when he wanted to let her go, he seemed to regret it a little.

Why do we feel regret?

Fuso felt that Chimei was right. Since they were having internal strife, capturing Chujian would be a bargaining chip for either side.

Was the Nan'an riot really as Aunt Ruan said?

No, the riot in Nan'an was entirely caused by people sent by the Fifth Prince to incite public anger.

Over the past twenty years, there have been many frictions between Nan'an and Qingshui Town in Nanbang. Peace only came to the border two years ago when the War King took control of the Qingshui Ferry. So in their eyes, the War King's influence is extremely huge.

The fifth prince stirred up the situation, firstly to force the emperor to put pressure on Jing Muyang, and secondly to cover up his actual purpose of hunting down Chu Jian.

The fifth prince had made a good plan. At least the first thing he did when the emperor recovered and returned to the court was to confine Jing Muyang to his house.

"Qingshan, what's the situation in Nan'an? Can it be controlled?"

"Your Highness, Nan'an is in riot, and a large number of people are crossing the border to harass Qingshui Town. The Nanbang court has dispatched troops to guard it strictly, and took back the Qingshui Ferry during the chaos, and strictly prohibited the entry and exit of the two countries. The crown prince of Nanbang has sent a message that they will not interfere in the political chaos of Lingyin, but if they compete with them for the Qingshui Ferry again, they cannot guarantee that they will not send troops."

"Send a message and ask the garrison to withdraw and be on high alert. Hand a military letter to the Crown Prince of Nanbang. We can return the Qingshui Ferry, but if Nanbang makes any unusual moves, we cannot guarantee that we will not send troops."

"Your Majesty, there may be something fishy going on with the riot in Nan'an City."

"Well, Qingmu, you take my order and go over to suppress the rebellion and find the culprit."

"Yes!" Qingmu left. He had a very uncomfortable month after Jinxiang's death.

Years ago, the princess had promised him the golden fragrance. The beautiful days had just begun, but they were ruthlessly broken.

He felt as much hatred in his heart as Jing Muyang, but there was no clue in the capital. Instead, there was something unusual in Nan'an, which was so far away. He really wanted to go over and see who was behind it!

The instigator, the Fifth Prince Jing Muhao, had recovered from his injuries and was now leisurely sitting on a low couch in the mansion, drinking wine and listening to music. A group of women in the backyard would occasionally wave their sleeves at him.

Jing Muyang was under house arrest, but I didn't expect that he would actually obey the order obediently. Hahaha, it makes me happy just thinking about it.

However, the emperor still did not take back Jing Muyang's military power, which made Jing Muhao very depressed. Nan'an was in such a chaos, and the emperor openly supported the Ninth Prince to seize power, but he could still sit still. He was really calm.

But there is one advantage to the emperor not taking back the military power. Look, the queen and the third prince have formed an alliance to get rid of the big threat of the King of War first. There is no other way, he is too strong, with his military merits and political achievements, as well as the respect of the people, he is a perfect candidate to be a king, and a much greater threat than the crown prince.

Everything was within Jing Muhao's expectations. The first meeting was indeed an entry point. All it took to drive Jing Muyang crazy was a first meeting.

But the woman was too stubborn and she didn't get to taste it.

The progress in Nan'an was not very smooth either. We didn't find them at first sight, and we encountered a group of difficult guys, and we didn't know who they were.

If the person we first met were to return after receiving protection, it would be difficult to deal with.
