After wearing a sick and weak cannon fodder as a prince

Dai Qing and Guan Xuan waited for Xiao Yu in the sealed Xiao's old mansion for a day. Xiao Yu said he would come back today, but now it is almost time.

Dai Qing finally lost his temper. He pointed his sword at Guan Xuan: "You said the master will return today, but now the situation is so critical, and the master has not returned yet, what are you planning?"

Guan Xuan saw him facing him with swords and swords: "Dai Qing, you and I have been with the master for many years, and now the master's life and death are uncertain. Are we going to have internal strife?"

"The master went looking for you the night you disappeared, but now you are the only one who has come back safe and sound, but the master has not returned. I can't help but suspect this."

"crunch-"

When the two of them were arguing, the door suddenly rang, and then a figure came in quietly.After Dai Qing heard the movement, he became vigilant. He held his sword and looked back, and it turned out that the person he saw was Xiao Yu.

Seeing that Xiao Yu came back safe and sound, Dai Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but he saw Xiao Yu's face through the faint night light. At this moment, his face was pale, as if he had been seriously injured.

Seeing this, Dai Qing quickly asked: "Master, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so haggard?"

Xiao Yu leaned against the door and panted for a while, and for some reason, Dai Qing saw that the corners of his eyes were red, as if he had cried...

But this is impossible, what else can make Xiao Yu break down and cry now?

After a while, Xiao Yu's hoarse voice sounded: "I... I'm fine, you don't have to worry, the wind is cold on the road, and I accidentally caught a cold."

After hearing what he said, Dai Qing was finally relieved: "Then master, where have you been these two days? The subordinates almost couldn't wait for you here..."

When talking about this, Guan Xuan stepped forward and said: "It is good that the master is fine now, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave as soon as possible?"

After speaking, he and Xiao Yu looked at each other. Xiao Yu lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he was making a difficult decision.

"We...we're not leaving."

Dai Qing's eyes widened in surprise after hearing Xiao Yu's words: "Master, what did you say?"

Xiao Yu repeated again: "We're not leaving, we're here to stand by and contact the courtiers who have objections, while waiting for the people led by A Xun to come."

By doing this, Xiao Yu undoubtedly put himself in a dangerous situation. If it was in the past, he would never do something he was not sure about.Dai Qing asked worriedly at this moment: "Master, you should think about it. This is the emperor's territory. Once your identity is exposed, you will be killed!"

After hearing these words, Xiao Yu sneered: "I don't care about my own body. I have already suffered the disaster of killing myself. Now the people of Dachu are living in dire straits. To get rid of the emperor's affairs It should not be too late, but this matter is not simple, we have many contacts, if after the death of the emperor, the princes and relatives from all walks of life continue to argue about the throne, then the life of the people of Dachu may be difficult."

Dai Qing knew the relationship between Xiao Yu and Qin Xuechuan in the past, even though the emperor hurt Xiao Yu deeply, Xiao Yu never said such words.But it was the first time he heard Xiao Yu say something like "get rid of the emperor".

"Yes, since the master has made up his mind, that Daiqing will swear to be loyal to the master!"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yu sighed as if he was very tired: "Okay, you must be tired after waiting for me here for a day and a night, you should go and rest quickly."

Dai Qing: "Yes! This subordinate obeys!"

When Dai Qing turned around, Xiao Yu winked at Guan Xuan, walked up to Guan Xuan and whispered, "Don't tell anyone what happened that night."

Guan Xuan has been with King Linchuan for many years, so he naturally knows how to measure.He also responded in a low voice: "Master, don't worry."

***

In the main hall of the imperial palace, Qin Xuechuan was wiping his sword that was shining with cold light. It was obvious that the sword body had been polished to a shiny shine, but he still felt that there was still blood on the sword. clean.

Qin Xuechuan knew a long time ago that if Pei Zui was still alive back then, he would definitely go to save Xiao Yu. If his descendants were not so greedy, perhaps Qin Xuechuan would never find the person who manipulated everything behind this.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, you should go to sleep." An old voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

Qin Xuechuan slowly raised his head and looked at Wuling: "Oh Wuling, you have been extremely loyal following my two dynasties. Although you made mistakes in the past, these 100 years have already made up for those mistakes. Now my plan is about to come true. If you are loyal, I will give you ten thousand taels of gold and send you away from Fengdu. Do you know that gold is a useful thing no matter what dynasty or generation it is."

Wu Ling's eyes widened suddenly when he heard Qin Xuechuan's words, and he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty! I once swore to follow Your Majesty for the rest of my life, but when His Majesty's plan is about to come true, you want to drive me away. This is not asking for your Majesty!" Is it your life? You can’t see His Majesty achieve great success, and I can’t rest in peace until I die, so please allow me to stay by your side.”

Hearing Wu Ling's loyal words, Qin Xuechuan's brows moved slightly, but there was no expression of gratitude on his face. At this moment, he furrowed his brows and angrily scolded Wu Ling: "Ai Qing, don't think that your loyalty can make me I have trusted you all my life, and I have already dealt with so many loyal ministers and generals in the name of treason, and I am not missing any of you. Now I want to let you live, but you refuse to accept my love. Do you really want to die? ?”

Wu Ling kowtowed and said: "If you die for your majesty, it is my honor. If your majesty grants me death, I will be your servant for the rest of my life, so I have no choice but to die!"

"Come on! Drag him out!" Qin Xuechuan said angrily.

As soon as the words fell, the forbidden army guarding outside the hall came in and dragged Wuling out.Qin Xuechuan's voice came from the main hall: "Exile this person from Fengdu, and you will never be able to enter Fengdu again for eternal life!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Finally, there was no one around Qin Xuechuan.His relatives, friends and his lover have left him, but this is not important anymore, it is no longer needed anyway.

***

Within half a year, the emperor in Fengdu became more and more absurd, perhaps because he was the first emperor to let all the territory belong to "Chu".Such a feat would make him defiant.He thought that there was no threat by his side, so he held a big banquet in the palace every day and played songs every night.

Beauties from all over the Chu Kingdom were sent to the palace like a stream of water. The emperor felt that it was not enough to enjoy himself alone, so he invited all the officials to enter the palace to have fun with him.

Once someone spoiled his pleasure, he would kill those people with cruel punishment.In order to cater to the emperor's preferences, the officials could only bite the bullet and have fun with him.And the conflict between the rebel army outside Fengdu and the army in the court intensified.

However, whenever such important military matters were introduced to the palace, Qin Xuechuan ignored them.Especially in the past few days, the people in Fengdu were panicked, and some wealthy people had already packed their bags and fled with their families.

Those who served Qin Xuechuan personally in the court knew that His Majesty was weak, and he spent a lot of money to recruit several famous Taoist priests and warlocks.Qin Xuechuan was immersed in the days when he became a god and became a fairy every day.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is tyrannical and fatuous, and sooner or later this Fengdu will be someone else's.But when the rebels came, they might massacre and set fire to the city, and then Fengdu would turn into a purgatory on earth again.

Although people in Fengdu were panicked, there were still many people coming and going in the market.No matter what happens in the world, at most it is the change of owner of the throne, and it is these common people who are really suffering, but the whole world is the king's land, where can they escape?

"Hey, have you heard? I heard that there is a rebel army who used to belong to Prince Xiao's family, and the leader is Prince Xiao's son."

"What Prince Xiao?"

"It was King Linchuan who died fighting for our Great Chu! The family of King Linchuan is also pitiful. Not long after he died fighting for the country, our Majesty exiled the whole family for treason. What is even more pitiful is the prince. , was given to death by His Majesty with a cup of poisoned wine! This is really a crime!"

"Who says it's not? But I heard that the rebel army outside Fengdu City came in the name of King Linchuan. I heard that when they invaded the city, they didn't hurt the people at all. The leader Master Xiao is also very kind to the common people."

"Now Dachu is in such a mess, and His Majesty has no heirs. In my opinion, the rebels will come to our capital sooner or later. If they really come, we people can obey them. The emperor is stupid Wudao, the palace will fall into the hands of the rebels sooner or later, anyway, it is the Chu people who are fighting here, so as long as it is harmless to us, it doesn’t matter who will be the emperor?"

"That's right...it's the same reason. Don't say that out loud. After all, the current Fengdu is still the emperor's. Be careful not to cause murder."

Before Fengdu really fell, the hearts of the people in the city were already scattered.And Fengdu's master didn't seem to care about these things, he was still intoxicated with wine and beauties all day long.Because Qin Xuechuan has been ignoring the government for many days, and the people in the court dare not persuade the emperor because they are afraid of the imperial power, so there are more and more treacherous and flattering people, Fengdu is already in danger.

In the past month, all the cities and states and counties where the rebels went have fallen, and the army of the Great Chu City, seeing that the emperor is fatuous, no longer loyal to the royal family. The leader of Xiao's army who leads the army always puts the words first.

They said, they can't understand how the emperor treats the people harshly, abandons the state affairs of the great Chu state and the century-old foundation.The Xiao family is loyal to the Great Chu. Every generation of the Xiao family has people who have fought and died for the Great Chu. Their crusade against the emperor is to protect the century-old foundation.

It is better to follow a loyal and loyal person than to support a tyrannical emperor, so many states and counties are self-defeating.Every time the army led by Xiao Xun went to a place, the garrison in the prefecture and county would soon surrender. They traveled day and night, Xiao Xun thought that they would arrive in Fengdu in less than three days.

On Xiao Yu's side, Xiao Xun's fast-paced army had already reached Nagano, twenty miles away from Fengdu, to join him.Although Xiao Yu had contacted many former powerful and powerful members of Fengdu, they had no stronger military strength than the Xiao clan, and they were not as popular as them.

What's more... those northern Xinjiang people who sent Xiao Yu back to the Central Plains not long ago, Xiao Yu asked them to go back and report to their leader if they were willing to help in the battle for the throne.Xiao Yu promised that they would be given the land they wanted and the supplies that would allow them to survive in the extremely cold place.
