The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

When General Wang Luda heard the shouting, he turned his gaze to Lu Mu. He saw that Lu Mu was covered in wounds, but his eyes were full of unyielding spirit. He was staggering towards him.

Wang Luda couldn't help but feel a little curious about this young man. He felt a sense of sympathy for his resolute eyes and asked hurriedly:

"Who are you? City Lord Ye is here, why are you calling for help from me?"

Lu Mu barely supported his body, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and saluted:

“General, I’m Lu Mu. I came to Baiyang City to join the army, but was bullied by the city lord Ye Zhan.

I beg the general to make the decision for me!"

General Wang Luda narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Ye Zhan beside him, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and shouted loudly:

"Ye Zhan! What do you mean?!

Why do you oppress those who come to join the army? !

Don’t you know the battle situation in Baiyang City?

How many people are eagerly waiting for us to recover the lost territories?

Are you still worthy of being the Lord of Baiyang City?"

Ye Zhan was unable to answer any of Wang Luda's questions. He was suddenly panicked, but he still pretended to be calm and said:

"General, this man is a lunatic and disrespectful to me, so I have to punish him."

Wang Luda snorted coldly: "No need to say more, Ye Zhan, you used to be a vanguard under me, and I know your character very well.

At this moment, you are talking nonsense. To me, you seem to be seeking revenge for personal gain!"

General Wang Luda looked around the chaotic fight with a sharp gaze, frowned, walked up to Lu Mu, and helped him up personally.

Ye Zhan hurriedly came forward and said with a smile:

"General Wang, this is just a small matter in the mansion. I am really sorry for disturbing you."

General Wang Luda snorted again: "A trivial matter? I don't think this is a trivial matter! What Xuanyue Country needs is young people who are willing to serve their country!"

"Zhou Jun, you carry him."

Lu Mu leaned weakly on the left vanguard Zhou Jun and was led out of the City Lord's Mansion by Wang Luda.

Seeing people being taken away, Ye Zhan taunted, "Being a vanguard for an old man like you is not as comfortable as being the Lord of Baiyang City."

……

Back in the tent, General Wang Luda had Lu Mu's wound treated and ordered food and water to be prepared.

Lu Mu gradually regained some strength and spirit.

General Wang Luda sat in front of Lu Mu and asked seriously, "Tell me, how did you come to have a grudge with Ye Zhan?"

Lu Mu pursed his lips and clenched his fists tightly again:

"Old General, I was originally a servant of Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan. But now, the princess has helped me escape from slavery."

As he spoke, a trace of grief and anger flashed in Lu Mu's eyes, and he clenched his fists and said:

"Old General, Ye Zhan and Ye Zhaobo's family are simply insane. They always bully Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan!

The most hateful one was Ye Zhan, who pushed the princess into the water and attempted to let another man rape her.

That day, I followed closely and saved the princess."

General Wang Luda was instantly furious when he heard this. He slammed the table and stood up:

"Ye Zhan, this beast, actually did such a despicable thing!"

He paced back and forth in the tent, unable to calm down his anger.

After a while, General Wang Luda sat down again, looked at Lu Mu with approval, and said:

"Lu Mu, you are doing the right thing.

As a man, you should be loyal to your lord, loyal to your country, and uphold justice.

Your courage and sense of justice are truly commendable.”

Lu Mu's eyes flashed with determination: "General, I only hate that I don't have the ability to bring them to justice."

General Wang Luda patted Lu Mu on the shoulder:

"Don't be anxious. Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished. However, you have come here on foot from afar to join the army. I can see your determination to serve the country with all your heart.

I admire you very much.”

Lu Mu quickly stood up, clasped his fists and said, "General, Lu Mu is willing to go through fire and water for Xuanyue Country, no matter what it takes!

I beg the general to give me a chance to serve the Xuan Yue Kingdom and His Majesty!

General Wang Luda nodded with satisfaction:

"Okay! Okay! You should have a good rest first. I will organize a competition in a few days. If you can win, I will let you be the vanguard."

Lu Mu got off the bed excitedly, knelt down again, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, General! Lu Mu will definitely live up to your high expectations!"

General Wang Luda helped Lu Mu up: "Take good care of your injuries for a few days and wait for the competition. I believe you can do something."

"Thank you for your cultivation, General!"

Lu Mu's eyes were filled with gratitude and anticipation. He secretly vowed to stay alert and to win the competition!

To serve the country and to seek justice for the princess.

……

Kyoto City.

The Prince Yong's Mansion seemed exceptionally quiet under the cover of night.

Ouyang Qingyu was dressed in black casual clothes, with a solemn expression on his face, and walked into the palace with steady steps.

At this time, Prince Yong had fallen asleep early. When he heard the servant's report, he got up, put on casual clothes, and went to the main hall.

When he saw Ouyang Qingyu, his eyes flashed with surprise.

"Sit down, Minister Ouyang." Prince Yong yawned, sat in the hall, and said in a very tired voice, "Come here, bring tea to Minister Ouyang."

"No need." Ouyang Qingyu got straight to the point, his voice low and serious: "Prince Yong, please ask your attendants to leave."

Prince Yong was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses. He then waved his hand and the servants left one after another. "Minister Ouyang, what are you doing here so late at night?"

Ouyang Qingyu sat on the chair, his eyes firm, and said straight to the point:

"Your Majesty suspects that you are plotting a rebellion."

After hearing this, Prince Yong suddenly came to his senses.

Prince Yong frowned and asked, "What did you just say?"

Ouyang Qingyu said: "His Majesty thinks that you are planning a rebellion, and he does not trust Princess An Ning.

I came here this time to tell you, Prince Yong, that you have two choices before you."

Prince Yong's expression became serious: "Which two?"

Ouyang Qingyu said slowly: "First, if you leave Kyoto City immediately, you may be able to save your life.

However, His Majesty is suspicious by nature and will certainly be wary of your departure. It is still unknown whether you can return to your fiefdom safely.

We may even use Princess An Ning as a hostage to restrain you."

Prince Yong trembled all over after hearing this, and clenched his hands unconsciously: "What about the second option?"

Ouyang Qingyu's eyes were deep, and he said in a secretive tone:

"The second is that you die."

"Bang!" Prince Yong slammed the table vigorously and shouted angrily, "Asshole! Ouyang Qingyu, you are so bold to speak to me like that!"

Ouyang Qingyu said calmly: "Only when Prince Yong dies, the princess can completely get rid of the suspicion of His Majesty, and in the future, she can have her own piece of the world."

Prince Yong was still furious and frowned, "Which sky?"

Ouyang Qingyu smiled as if he was still keeping it a secret: "Prince Yong knows that although there are three countries on Fenghua Continent, there is only one sky."

Prince Yong snorted coldly and glared at Ouyang Qingyu in front of him:

"Oh... Ouyang Qingyu! You are really a good knife of Lin Moyun. You want to kill me, but at the last minute, you even give me a pie in the sky.

Prince Yong was still furious and said, "How can you, a lunatic, say that I will definitely die?"

Hearing this, Ouyang Qingyu had a calm expression, his eyes were cold and deep, he raised his chin slightly, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly:

"Your Highness Prince Yong, at this point, don't you understand?"

Prince Yong's chest rose and fell violently, he gasped and shouted loudly:

"I don't understand! Don't keep talking nonsense here! You want me to die just by your words. Do you really think I am a three-year-old child?

If you don't have something real, I will kill you immediately!"

Ouyang Qingyu sighed softly, staring into Prince Yong's eyes with a sharp gaze, and said word by word:

"Aren't Prime Minister Su Mingde and Lady Qin from Hongyue Tower your followers?"

And...that day, I went to Hongyue Tower to keep an appointment with the princess, and I saw Li Feng, the Minister of Yuanma Temple, and others in Hongyue Tower. Aren't they your followers, Your Highness?

I assigned a guard to do odd jobs in Hongyue Tower. Your Majesty, guess what he said to me?

He said that there was a list in the private room of Hongyue Tower, which recorded the people who had been to the private room of Hongyue Tower.

Then these people are not your followers, Your Majesty.

The name of Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan, is definitely on this list."

Upon hearing this, Prince Yong's body trembled violently, and the anger on his face was instantly replaced by fear, but he still managed to shout, "You are talking nonsense!"

Ouyang Qingyu sneered, pulled out the list from his sleeve, and unfolded it in front of Prince Yong.

“Your Majesty, you might as well take a look yourself. The names listed here are all your trusted confidants.

Another thing, let me tell you, Your Highness. Do you still remember that ten years ago, there was a great epidemic in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and all the officials who followed Your Highness died of the epidemic..."

"You did it too?" Prince Yong listened, his face turned paler, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of fear: "You...you are so scheming!"

Ouyang Qingyu said in a deep voice: "At that time, I was less than ten years old. Because of this incident, my aunt, the imperial concubine, was rewarded by His Majesty and changed her surname to Lin."

Prince Yong thought carefully in silence.

Ouyang Qingyu smiled faintly and said: "Now, please personally review this list, Your Majesty. The Ministry of Justice's prison has been plagued by rats recently.

In addition, the prince did not leave Kyoto for a long time.

With these lists and your Majesty's suspicions, and the means your Majesty used to seize power, how will you deal with you and Princess An Ning?

What do you think the chances of winning are?"

Prince Yong's gaze finally fell on the list. His face turned pale instantly, his lips trembled, but he could no longer utter a word.

Ouyang Qingyu looked calm and composed, but his deep eyes flickered with an elusive light. He sat there calmly, giving Prince Yong time to think carefully.

Time was extremely difficult for Prince Yong. Soon, Prince Yong exhaled heavily and said:

"It's me, the king, who loses."

Ouyang Qingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was examining Prince Yong, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Not yet."

Prince Yong looked at him in surprise: "What did you say?"

His voice was low and magnetic, yet with a hint of chill, "I say, the game is not over yet, Your Majesty's death is just a move to sacrifice the rook to save the king.

The game with Lin Moyun is still going on, but the person he is playing against has changed."

Prince Yong thought about it carefully, widened his eyes, shook his head and sighed: "This prince has no children, no one else."

Ouyang Qingyu remained unmoved, still looking calm, and said slowly:

"Prince Yong has no children, but Her Royal Highness the Princess does.

The princess is the only bloodline of Princess Jingyue.

It is also the only bloodline of the late emperor and his descendants.

Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan, is absolutely qualified to inherit the throne."

Prince Yong frowned tightly: "You mean..."

Ouyang Qingyu nodded gently, his eyes firm as he said, "I, Ouyang Qingyu, will no longer be your majesty's sword. I will be the most suitable weapon in the hands of Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan!"

Prince Yong opened his mouth wide and asked the biggest question in his mind: "Why?"

Ouyang Qingyu's eyes revealed endless tenderness and affection: "I love the princess and want to be with her. For this, I am willing to do all this."
