Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Jiang Wangshi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Okay, then you must be careful on your way. When you arrive in the capital, remember to write a letter home to let them know you are safe."

Jiang Xue nodded vigorously, tears flashing in her eyes: "Mom, don't worry. I will take good care of myself."

Everyone stepped forward to remind Jiang Xue to be careful. Jiang Xue agreed to all of them, feeling very touched.

Day 2 Jiang's House

"Sanniu, come back soon," said Mr. Jiang, with some reluctance and worry in his voice. "Although I don't know what you are going to do, I know there must be something you want to do. Grandpa believes in you and is proud of you."

"Grandpa, thank you," Jiang Xue said gratefully, with a determined light in her eyes, "I will definitely come back soon, don't worry."

"Xi'er, protect the young lady," Mr. Jiang warned again, his eyes revealing his trust in Chen Yuxi, "I know you are a great martial artist. With you here, Sanniu will be safe."

"Master, I will." Chen Yuxi responded firmly, "I will do my best to protect the young lady, don't worry."

......

Two quarters of an hour later, Feng Qingyu asked Jiang Xue again: "Axue, are you ready? It's time for us to set off."

Jiang Xue nodded, indicating that everything was ready.

"Then get up!" Feng Qingyu said with a smile

"Okay." Jiang Xue responded concisely.

So the four of them set out on their journey to Shangjing.

......

Half a month later

Night fell over Shangjing, and this ancient and solemn city was immersed in tranquility. However, a thrilling storm was about to sweep over.

Shangjing, with the imperial palace as its center, extends outward to a vast area, with densely packed black buildings like a huge maze, dazzling the eyes. This huge complex of buildings covers an area of ​​nearly a thousand miles and has a population of over 100,000.

At midnight, the whole city fell into silence, the curfew was in effect, and the streets were filled with a tense atmosphere.

On the streets, teams of heavily armored night patrol soldiers marched in neat rows, their footsteps echoing in the empty streets.

At regular intervals, you can hear the clear sound of night watchmen, reminding people of the passage of time and the depth of the night.

At the same time, lanterns were hung under the eaves, and the faint light illuminated a corner of the darkness.

Inside the inn, the lights flicker, giving people a warm and reassuring feeling.

In a spacious upper room, three dark shadows prostrated themselves respectfully on the ground, their eyes focused on a man in a green shirt.

The man was tall and straight, with his hands behind his back, staring quietly at the dark night outside the window.

His eyes were deep and firm, as if they could penetrate the darkness and see through everything.

"Deputy leader, everything has been arranged. Admiral Yang Zou of the Bingmasi has been controlled by us, and the leader of the Imperial Guards has been controlled by the leader of the secret guards Ying Yan. All those who now exercise command power have been eliminated by the secret guards. Everything is ready, we just have to wait for that evil concubine to take action tonight." One of the black shadows said in a cold tone.

Murong De, who was called the deputy leader, slowly turned around, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and asked softly: "Is there any unusual movement from the demon concubine?"

"Reporting to the Deputy Alliance Leader, His Majesty's old illness relapsed half a month ago and he is currently in poor health. The demon concubine lives in His Majesty's bedroom every day, but according to the reports from our spies, no abnormal behavior has been found." A subordinate replied respectfully.

"Very good, pass the order down and tell everyone to act according to the plan." Murong De nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and faced the direction of the palace again, staring in the direction of the palace as if he could see through the wall and see everything inside.

......

In the harem in Shangjing, Concubine Feng opened her eyes with difficulty and was instantly awakened by the noisy shouts and screams around her. Her spirit was violently shaken.

"Master, you finally woke up." The maid beside her said anxiously, with a hint of tears in her voice, "There is no time to lose. Please follow me and leave here as soon as possible. The palace is now completely out of control."

Hearing this, Concubine Feng became even more anxious. She hurriedly asked, "Where is the princess? Where is she?"

The maid quickly replied, "The princess has already gone and is waiting for the master. We must hurry or it will be too late."

Feng Fei nodded, suppressed her inner panic, and said, "Hurry, let's go." She was fully aware of the crisis at the moment and knew that any moment of delay could bring unpredictable consequences.

With the sudden death of His Majesty, the entire palace seemed to be plunged into chaos.

The originally orderly palace was now filled with the atmosphere of killing and betrayal.

In the deep night, the soft drizzle silently clung to the marble walls of the palace, adding a bit of desolation to the cold palace.

The guards standing guard at the foot of the wall had sharp eyes. They gripped their weapons tightly and looked around vigilantly.

The guards who were trembling occasionally immediately perked up and looked straight ahead, not daring to relax at all.

They knew that the palace was no longer the peaceful haven it once was, but a battlefield full of danger and killing.

On the high platform of the palace, Xuan Yuchen looked at Concubine Liu and the others with an angry face. His eyes were full of anger and doubt, and his voice resounded throughout the hall: "Evil Concubine, you are deliberately trying to control His Majesty. What is your intention? Do you know how much disaster your behavior has brought to the entire dynasty?"

Concubine Liu and the others seemed unusually calm in the face of Xuan Yuchen's questioning. Their eyes revealed an inexplicable firmness and determination, as if they were ready to face all the consequences. And this storm in the palace has just begun to unfold...

"Xuan Yuchen, stop slandering me!" Concubine Liu responded coldly without changing her expression, "We are all heartbroken by the death of His Majesty. You have no evidence, how can you slander me at will?"

"Hmph, no evidence? If it weren't for you spreading rumors to confuse the people, how could His Majesty suddenly become seriously ill? People in the harem are in panic, and it's all your fault!" Xuan Yuchen was furious and pointed at Concubine Liu, as if he wanted to pour out all his anger.

"You..." Concubine Liu wanted to argue, but seeing Xuan Yuchen's determined eyes and the guards around her, she knew that it was useless to say more at this moment. So, she laughed coldly, "Okay, okay, since you are so sure, then I have nothing to say. But you have to remember that today's matter is not as simple as you think."

Xuan Yuchen stood under the high platform. His face looked very pale under the dim light, and his black eyes emitted a frightening light, as if they could see into the deepest secrets of human hearts.
