Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

A moment ago, when Jiang Qingwu and Gu Yanbai, with a not-too-small team, stopped outside the gate of Ling'an Palace, the Ling'an Palace was silent.

Jiang Qingwu and Wanyue came out of the carriage and looked at the open door in surprise and confusion.

"I remember that in Ling'an Palace, there were Nan Xiuye's own confidants, as well as the elite soldiers of the garrison camp assigned to him by Yan Xiuchen and many slaves."

"Even if Nan Xiuye ​​deployed his men, this palace wouldn't be so deserted. Where are the men?"

Gu Yanbai looked around, dismounted and walked straight in. The gate was open, but there were no guards, and the main courtyard was empty.

When Jiang Qingwu followed in, she vaguely sensed something was wrong. When she looked at Gu Yanbai, Gu Yanbai was also looking at her.

The two men strode towards the inner courtyard at the same time, but when they got close to the inner courtyard, they heard the sound of fighting in the yard.

Gu Yanbai raised his hand to stop Jiang Qingwu, and then his face darkened, "Corpse..."

Only then did Jiang Qingwu discover that in the corner leading to the inner courtyard, there were two bodies of guards lying.

"Shh..." Gu Yanbai signaled to Jiang Qingwu, tiptoed to take a look at the inner courtyard, and then quickly turned back.

"That old thing."

Jiang Qingwu was startled, and turned to Wanyue, lowering his voice, "Wanyue, there's a fire message from the Marquis' Mansion. This is close to the Marquis' Mansion. My elder brother and second brother are outside the palace. Notify them."

"Also, the patrolling city guards all over the streets will arrive faster than any of them. Go and inform them."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu suddenly remembered something, grabbed Wanyue, and drew out the soft sword from her waist.

"Girl, be careful..."

Jiang Qingwu nodded and nodded to Gu Yanbai. Seeing this, Gu Yanbai immediately jumped onto the roof.

Jiang Qingwu approached the inner courtyard cautiously.

"Old thing, stop it..." Gu Yanbai shouted loudly, and Jiang Qingwu immediately left using light skills.

Taking advantage of King Suqing's distraction, he swung his sword and left.

As a last resort, King Suqing had to let Nan Xiuye ​​go.

Nan Xiuye ​​fell to the ground and didn't regain consciousness for a while.

The only sound in my ears was fighting, from Gu Yanbai, Jiuhan, and the few personal guards they brought with them.

Seven or eight people were unable to move King Suqing at all.

"Cough cough..." Nan Xiuye ​​coughed violently a few times. When he turned his head to look into the distance, he saw King Suqing taking away Jiang Qingwu's soft sword.

Seeing that the Purging Dynasty was coming towards him, Jiang Qingwu retreated repeatedly. At the critical moment, Nan Xiuye ​​picked up Jiang Qingwu's knife on the ground and threw it at him.

"Qingwu..."

When Jiang Qingwu heard the shout, he took the sword, turned around to block King Suqing's palm, and stumbled and barely stood still.

"They are all here. God is really helping me. I will kill those who need to be killed and capture those who need to be captured..."

As soon as King Suqing opened his mouth, Jiang Qingwu was startled and suddenly realized something.

What he wanted most was Gu Yanbai.

In the past, Gu Yanbai was either by Yan Xiuchen's side in the palace, or protected by the Red Guards, both openly and covertly.

Jiang Qingwu's face changed, he turned to look at Gu Yanbai, and whispered, "Go quickly."

"Why leave? He wants to catch me, but can he catch me?" Gu Yanbai blurted out, looking at King Suqing with contempt.

"Old man, it's been so many years, and you're still alive?"

"You want to arrest me? Come on if you can. I want to see if you can take me away with you."

"Haha..." King Purge laughed with disdain, looked at the people surrounding him, and shook his head slightly.

"You are just a bunch of little things. Stomping you to death is like stepping on an ant."

In order to save Nan Xiuye ​​just now, they really didn't think too much about it.

The one with the highest martial arts skills here is Nan Xiu Ye, but he has fallen to the ground seriously injured and can't even stand up.

Now we can only rely on Wanyue to bring help.

Just as Gu Yanbai of the Purge Dynasty was pressing forward step by step, Jiang Qingwu suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "Huanyue, Huanyue, do you still want it?"

Upon hearing this, King Suqing turned around and looked at Jiang Qingwu, "Do you want to exchange Huanyue for the lives of so many of you?"

"No, just one."

"Change one? Haha, Nan Xiuye ​​is going to die, Gu Yanbai is also going to die, I can consider temporarily exchanging your life."

Jiang Qingwu's eyes were slightly puzzled. "Last time in the valley, you wanted to kill me. Why are you willing to let me go now?"

"If you hadn't forced me last time, I wouldn't have wanted to kill you."

"You are the biggest bargaining chip to control Yan Xiuchen. If I kill you easily, he will probably become a wild horse that runs away."

Yes, a big part of the reason why Yan Xiuchen was afraid of King Suqing was because he was afraid that if he pushed him too hard, King Suqing would become desperate and act uncontrollably.

The reason why King Suqing was willing to keep his life was that he was afraid of losing the bargaining chip to check and balance Yan Xiuchen.

"As long as you don't touch my bottom line, I can let you live."

"So, Huanyue can be exchanged, but only for you..."

"No, the person I want to replace is Nan Xiu Ye." Jiang Qingwu said, intentionally or unintentionally blocking in front of Nan Xiu Ye.

King Suqing was a little surprised. He looked at Nan Xiuye, then turned to look at Gu Yanbai, "You don't want to change Gu Yanbai?"

"But you want to change this person who once deceived you?"

"Gu Yanbai also lied to me." Jiang Qingwu blurted out, his face calm, as if he was chatting casually.

Gu Yanbai looked at Jiang Qingwu in disbelief. He wanted to be angry, but then he realized something.

"Jiang Qingwu, you are so heartless. I've been so good to you, and you saved him but not me? Is it because he's good-looking?"

Jiang Qingwu's eyes darkened, he opened his mouth, and then reacted, "Are you stupid? Even if he catches you, he won't kill you immediately."

"But he would kill Nan Xiuye ​​immediately, so of course I would save him."

"Nonsense, you just think he's good-looking, Jiang Qingwu, is it because he loves you that you're leaning towards him?"

"You're already married, why are you still thinking about other men?"

Gu Yanbai shouted, then pointed at Nan Xiuye ​​and seemed even more angry.

"If you don't want to live with Yan Xiuchen anymore, you will be banished to the cold palace. Don't even think about being with this pretty boy."

Gu Yanbai became more and more excited as he spoke, and Jiang Qingwu understood his meaning more and more.

However, Nan Xiuye ​​looked at the two of them in surprise. Just as he was about to speak, King Suqing couldn't hold back any longer.

"You really don't take me seriously. Even Yan Xiuchen doesn't dare to be so presumptuous."

Gu Yanbai stopped talking abruptly and sneered, "Who do you think you are? An abandoned bastard, just a dog of the late emperor."

"Yan Xiuchen calls you uncle and sir because he thinks you taught him martial arts."

"Do you really think you are some distinguished and important person?"

"Gu Yanbai, you are looking for death!" Su Qing Wangqi's face turned blue and he walked towards Gu Yanbai with a brisk step.

Jiang Qingwu was shocked when he saw this. Just as he was about to rush over, suddenly countless arrows flew in from the gate of the courtyard and headed towards King Suqing.

King Suqing was forced back by arrows. When he stood still, he found that Jiang Qingbai and Jiang Qingyu had come with a large number of patrolling city guards and the marquis's personal guards.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the numerous reinforcements and helpers, a layer of coldness suddenly covered his face, and he took a step back with deep eyes.

"City guards, listen up... kill him!" Jiang Qingwu's voice was not loud, but a cold murderous aura emanated from his whole body.

After hearing Jiang Qingwu's words, King Suqing finally came to his senses, "You...you guys, are you stalling for time?"

"What else?" Jiang Qingwu shouted coldly.

Then he raised his hand and waved, and countless arrows flew towards King Suqing.
