Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Half of the temple collapsed, while the other half maintained its original structure.

But it is now in ruins and in a mess.

When Jiang Qingwu rushed over, the Royal Guards had already carried out the bodies of several men in black.

Others were also shouting and looking for people.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the corpse on the ground and was panicked for a moment.

Not only was gunpowder used, but there were also assassinations by men in black.

"Yan Xiuchen...Yan Xiuchen, where are you?"

Although I firmly believed that Yan Xiuchen would not die like this, I couldn't help but have wild thoughts.

Jiu Ye, his personal guards, and the Imperial Guards searched all around and began to dig up the collapsed pillars and bricks.

Jiang Qingwu watched as everyone was digging like crazy, and rushed over with one quick step, "Stop digging."

Jiang Qingwu's heart was in a mess, but he still tried to remain calm, "The three of them are all masters, it's impossible for them to be buried here."

"Even if we are going to be buried, not all three of us will be buried."

"Go look somewhere else, look... look for another exit in the main hall. Yes, there must be another exit. How could Yan Xiuchen die here..."

Jiang Qingwu muttered as he searched around in the distance. Seeing this, Jiu Ye shouted to his men, "You stay and continue digging. The rest of you follow me."

……

In the cave in the back mountain, Yan Xiuchen and his friends finally saw the mysterious general.

Yan Xiuchen was still very surprised. He always knew everything, except this matter, which he knew nothing about.

"It's you, it's you?!" Yan Xiuchen looked at the other party in disbelief, and instantly understood the words of seeking revenge on Gu Yanbai.

"You actually caught up with us? It seems that this rugged, winding, gloomy and terrifying fork in the cave did not stop you."

"Hmph, you think you can stop us with just a dangerous road? Ridiculous." The leader shouted coldly.

Gu Yanbai looked at the seven or eight people standing not far away, his eyes fixed on the person in front, but he was still confused.

"Who is he, and why is he carrying a child..."

Gu Yanbai looked at the young man behind that man, still confused.

"You killed my mother, I will kill you..." The young man was on the verge of a fight, and he pulled out a dagger and was about to rush towards Gu Yanbai, but was stopped by the person in front of him.

Gu Yanbai's heart tightened slightly and he brainstormed for a while.

"You are... Cheng Xiang's son?" Gu Yanbai suddenly understood and sneered.

"I see. I was wondering why someone would want me dead now. It turns out that the mysterious general was talking about you."

"He is Cheng Xiang's son, what about you?" Gu Yanbai looked at the man who was leading the group.

The other party looked at Gu Yanbai viciously, holding a knife tightly in his hand, "Cheng Yu."

"He is the cavalry captain of the Mobei Border Army."

Yan Xiuchen said with a chuckle, "When Cheng Xiang rebelled, I only killed Cheng Xiang. It seems that I was too soft-hearted, which led to the disaster today."

Hearing this, Cheng Xiang looked at Yan Xiuchen with murderous intent, "Yan Xiuchen, I thought you were a wise ruler, but you are nothing but a dog emperor."

"My brother was coerced into betraying you. Just once, you wiped out all his achievements."

"My brother has been fighting on the battlefield for years. Can't he make a mistake for his son?"

"You are so ungrateful and cruel that you are not worthy of being the king of a country."

Yan Xiuchen sneered indifferently, "So, you quietly fled the Mobei border and secretly returned to Beijing with your confidant and your nephew?"

"Yes, after returning to the capital, I was the one who found the remnants of King Suqing and contacted the Queen Mother and Fuye's people."

"We have discussed it and will act separately. We will move Chongling to another place before we take action against Gu Yanbai."

"Although our goals are different, we have one thing in common, which is to get rid of Gu Yanbai."

"Gu Yanbai killed my sister-in-law, and you killed my brother. I have to settle this account with you."

“Hahahaha…” Gu Yanbai sneered and stood up with difficulty, holding on to the wall.

"Settling scores? Only betrayed once? Humph, do you know how many people died because of Cheng Xiang and his wife just this one time..."

"Did you know that King Ling An also died for this?"

Gu Yanbai said as he looked at Cheng Yu with disdain, "He has achievements, doesn't King Ling'an have any?"

"They betrayed the monarch, killed King Ling'an, and held the princess hostage. Did they die unjustly?"

"If you say it's unfair, I can only say... Yan Xiuchen should have confiscated your Cheng family and exterminated the entire clan."

"Traitor, what are you talking about? My father has devoted himself to the court for so many years, why did he end up like this!"

"I will kill you!" Cheng Xiang's son, Cheng Wen, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, rushed over with a dagger in his hand.

Cheng Yu tried to stop him but failed. By the time he reacted, the person had already reached Gu Yanbai.

Gu Yanbai stood still, without dodging at all, staring at Cheng Wen. The next moment, Yan Xiuchen's fan flew over and knocked the child to the ground.

"If I were you, I would not take this child with me if I wanted to avenge my brother and his wife."

"Once this is done, no matter how kind Your Majesty is, he will have to die."

"By then, your Cheng family will really have no successor."

Gu Yanbai leaned against the wall, standing steadily. At this moment, looking at the child, he seemed to think of himself when he was fourteen or fifteen years old.

He was probably about this age when the accident happened.

Cheng Yu looked at Cheng Wen who fell to the ground and seemed to hesitate for a moment, but before he could think about it, the child suddenly got up.

"Uncle, I'm not afraid. I want to avenge my parents."

"Revenge, can you take revenge?"

"It took me nearly fifteen years to find the truth and avenge my parents. If you can really avenge them now, it would be considered a great achievement for you."

Hearing what Gu Yanbai said, Yan Xiuchen knew that Gu Yanbai was thinking of him, and he also knew that Gu Yanbai had a kind heart.

"Achen, hand this kid over to me. I'm injured. Let's see if this kid can kill me."

Hearing the voice, Cheng Yu silently drew out the knife in his hand, and the people behind him were eager to try.

"Be careful." Yan Xiuchen whispered a reminder to Gu Yanbai and walked towards Cheng Yu.

The few people they brought were insignificant and had average skills, but they had the advantage of numbers, and almost all of them joined in the battle to surround and kill.

Cheng Yu, on the other hand, had some skills. He had been training in the army for many years and was strong and skilled.

"How about we make a deal? I'll help you find an easier way to kill me."

Gu Yanbai looked at the approaching Cheng Wen and said with a smile on his face.

Cheng Wen paused and asked, "What?"

"If I can subdue you in one move, you will give up your revenge."

"If you can't, I will let you hack and kill me, and I will never fight back."

"Okay..." Cheng Wen agreed readily. In fact, he was just anxious for revenge and didn't take it seriously at all.

Seeing Gu Yanbai leaning against the wall with a pale face, he rushed over with a dagger.
