Narcissus Self-Saving System

Another month later.

Huaicheng has not been captured yet.But Xia Guo's soldiers have lost too much.

After discussing with Xi Nan, Zhu Guanyu and Xi Nan, and relying on the secret correspondence with Xue Zhuang, made a plan to put them to death and survive.

Zhu Guanyu will take the Queen Mother and some ministers to flee south and move the capital to Huaichi City.

Afterwards, Xue Zhuang abandoned Huaicheng and fled to the imperial capital Lanque, making the illusion that Xia's army was vulnerable.

The gang of Western barbarians in the Wei state had won many battles and had almost used up all the troops in the country. By that time, they would surely get carried away and their vigilance would decrease.

They learned that Zhu Guanyu, the emperor of the Xia Kingdom, had abandoned the city and could not escape. They would definitely take advantage of the victory and pursue them all the way to Lanque City, and occupy the former imperial capital of the Xia Kingdom.

But in fact, during this period of time, the soldiers stationed in the northern border of Xia Kingdom would take the valley path, slowly rush from the northern border to Lanque, and then lie in ambush outside the city.

When the western barbarians entered the imperial capital and were complacent, Xue Zhuang lit the signal, and the northern army would rush into the imperial capital, surround the barbarians and slaughter them all.

During this month, Xue Zhuang's plan was carried out step by step.

As for Xi Nan, he has followed Zhu Guanyu and fled south.

Zhu Guanyu had already left the imperial capital with the empress dowager, empress, and several ministers to Huaichi, temporarily staying in the South Lake Palace on the way, resting for a few days.

On this day, Nanhu Palace, Gaoyang Hall where Empress Dowager De lived.

The queen mother was disturbed, so she called the old lady who was accompanying her.

"Wang Yu even transferred the imperial army? Only a few are left here, is it safe?!"

The old mother said: "Did you forget, Queen Mother? This is a strategy set by His Majesty and Uncle Guo, secretly letting the soldiers from the northern border lie in ambush outside the imperial capital. Uncle Guo lost some of the northern border troops to fight with him earlier, and also A part of the northern border army stayed in the northern border, fearing that there would not be enough numbers, so some of the forbidden troops were withdrawn to go there."

"Yes." The queen mother pressed her head, "I've been running around these days, I'm confused. Our royal army is in the north. Now we must rely on their support to defend the country of Xia. Having said that, the strategy this time, Was it made by His Majesty?"

The old mother said: "Your Majesty is inseparable from General Xue these days. Presumably, it was General Xue's idea. He lost his martial arts, but his strategy is still there."

"By the way. Speaking of martial arts..." the queen mother said, "Just now when the imperial guards came to report, there was often the sound of swords and swords in His Majesty's room. And the sound of swords and swords all happened after Xue Zhuang went to His Majesty's room."

The old mother asked: "You mean... Xue Zhuang may be practicing again?"

The queen mother said: "Nowadays, so many forbidden troops go to the imperial capital to ambush. There are not many left in the palace. That kid Zhu Guanyu...won't lay hands on me?"

The old mother asked: "Why don't the servants go and watch?"

"Where do I need you to go? You don't have martial arts. You went there after a while and found something. If you don't keep it, you will be killed."

The Empress Dowager said, "The imperial guards staying in this palace are all from us. I can send anyone whoever I want."

The old mother thought of something, and frowned solemnly: "Actually, this old slave has always felt strange. Think about it, when the mountain palace was closed, under such circumstances, Xue Zhuang was able to escape. How can he say that he has no kung fu? No. Once Xue Zhuang's martial arts recovers, it will be useless to send some forbidden soldiers to deal with him, because they are not his opponents."

"You mean, he deceived everyone?" The queen mother frowned, "Zhu Guanyu's close father-in-law is also one of us. He is an unborn master. He said that Xue Zhuang really lost all his martial arts, that's impossible."

"It's good to be more suspicious. This old slave is really afraid...that Xue Zhuang and His Majesty will join forces to deceive you. This is a good time." The old mother sighed.

"You're right. I'm going to strike first..." The Queen Mother clenched her fists.

At this time, a father-in-law came outside the door, and it was one of the eyeliners that the queen mother kept by Zhu Guanyu's side.

The Queen Mother hurriedly called him into the room and asked him what to report.

The father-in-law said: "Xue Zhuang went out and went to the Town God's Temple. He said he was praying for the kingdom of Xia."

The Empress Dowager immediately said: "Send me an order to send out all the forbidden troops to follow him. Let's strike secretly first to test whether he will fight back with martial arts in an emergency. If he fights back, it means that he pretended to have lost his martial arts and killed him immediately." Yes. If he really has no martial arts, save his life for now. He is still useful."

The father-in-law took the order and left.

Seeing that the queen mother's forehead was sweating, the old mother immediately said: "This old servant will fetch you some iced fruits."

The Queen Mother agreed.The old mother left Gaoyang Palace and went to find the cook to fetch iced fruit.

Now the weather has turned hot, and there is ice in the cellar of the palace, which is taken out and chopped up, and the cut fruits are placed on it, which is a fun thing to cool off from the heat.

After doing these things, it took a lot of effort, the old mother walked back with the fruit, and inquired by the way, the forbidden army had already gone to the Town God's Temple to follow Xue Zhuang.

Immediately afterwards, the old mother returned to the hall. "Queen, please use it slowly."

"Oh, I can still eat these at this time. Fortunately, you are with me." The queen mother smiled and ate a cherry.

But the next moment, a dagger was swung at her.

The queen mother hid, fell to the ground, and her arm was scratched.

"Come, come!" the queen mother exclaimed.

The old mammy smiled coldly. "Everyone was sent away by you, forgot?"

"You...it's you...!" The Queen Mother's eyes widened.

The old mammy sighed. "Yes, this old slave has always been a pawn arranged by the late emperor by your side. After the late emperor left, this old slave listened to the little emperor. After serving you for decades, this old slave has feelings for you. I didn't want to do that. But Now the country of Xia is in danger, and it is all caused by your short-sightedness and playing tricks. For the sake of the country, the old slave has no choice but to act."

After finishing speaking, the old mother raised the knife and dropped it.

The Empress Dowager fell into a pool of blood, her eyes widened in resignation.

When Xi Nan returned to the South Lake Palace.

Xi Nan asked the emperor's father-in-law about it, and then rushed to Gaoyang Palace.

At this moment, Xi Nan witnessed the bloody scene in the hall.

——The empress dowager fell into a pool of blood, and an old nanny who seemed to have lost her mind was chasing and killing the emperor.

The guards who followed Xi Nan all the way to Chenghuang Temple, back to Xinggong, and then to Gaoyang Palace also witnessed this scene with their own eyes.

Xi Nan fell to the ground flamboyantly, exclaiming: "Come here! Escort! Escort!"

In the end, the forbidden army came forward and killed the old mother in order to save the emperor.

Then all the imperial guards knelt down to the emperor: "Your Majesty was frightened when the rescue came too late!"

They are not stupid, knowing that the Queen Mother has fallen, the only person they can rely on is Zhu Guanyu.

Among these imperial guards, which ones were loyal to the Zhu family and pretended to be bought by the Wang family, and which ones were completely betrayed before, Zhu Guanyu has no way to pursue it, and there is no need to pursue it.

Zhu Guanyu glanced at them and just flicked his sleeves. "Decades ago, the western barbarians of the Wei state sent the princess to be married, and now they found out that the old nanny belonged to them. Taking advantage of the Wei state's attack, they wanted to attack me and the queen mother. The corpses were dragged out to feed the dogs. As for the queen mother, keep a low profile first. Burial. It is not allowed to spread the matter of the Empress Dowager to the outside world. Otherwise, it will go to the Wang Family Army on the front line, and the morale of the army will be weakened."

that night.Xi Nan returned to the house, and the imperial physician who accompanied Zhu Guanyu to the palace came to help him apply the medicine.

The plan to assassinate the Queen Mother this time was all discussed between him and Zhu Guanyu.

Ever since he came to Nanhu Palace, Xi Nan went to His Majesty's palace openly and aboveboard, and then made a lot of noise with swords and swords, just to let the Queen Mother's ears and eyes hear and make her suspect that Zhu Guanyu was going to kill her.

Then, Xi Nan deliberately loudly said that he was going to the Chenghuang Temple, and he really went.

The old nanny who served the empress dowager encouraged her again, making the empress dowager afraid that "Xue Zhuang" would really recover his martial arts, if there were few people who went there, he might not be able to take him down.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother was caught in the trick and sent out all the forbidden troops.

That old lady didn't know martial arts at all.Otherwise, she could not escape the Queen Mother's eyes and ears for decades.

She was able to kill the queen mother because she took a medicine called subduing the demon.

That was a few months ago, Xi Nan learned of a medicine that can mobilize the whole body's blood energy and enhance weakness through the system.

That medicine is to subdue the demon.

When Xi Nan pretended to be Xue Zhuang for the first time, he mentioned this medicine to Zhu Guanyu, originally to fool Zhu Guanyu and explain why he, who had lost all his martial arts, suddenly became a peerless master at the Hongmen Banquet.

Although later Xi Nan and Xue Zhuang explained everything frankly to Zhu Guanyu.

Zhu Guanyu still remembered the medicine, so he specifically asked Xi Nan whether the medicine was just a nonsense, or it really existed.

Xi Nan finally took the prescription given by the system to Zhu Guanyu.

As a result, the old mother took the medicine to subdue the demon, and suddenly gained martial arts, and was able to kill the queen mother.

In the end, Zhu Guanyu came again, and the old lady pretended to assassinate him, but she was actually acting in front of the imperial army.

In this way, in the future, it is the old mother who assassinated the queen mother and cleared Zhu Guanyu of the suspicion.

The plan was a success.But Xi Nan was also seriously injured.

On the way to the Town God's Temple, in order to test whether "Xue Zhuang" had recovered his martial arts, those forbidden soldiers disguised themselves as masked robbers and launched a sneak attack on Xi Nan, using real knives and real swords.

Xi Nan's shoulder, back, and calf were all injured.

At this moment, the imperial physician applied golden sore medicine on him. Xi Nan had never suffered such a crime, and grinned in pain.

Xi Nan: "Tong, I'm in pain, it hurts so much. Beep."

System: "Kill the monster with one punch."

Xi Nan: "You have really changed. How come we are the other way around."

System: "Hey, well, for the sake of you bleeding so much... Tiger touches, blows, bags fall apart, Xiao Nannan doesn't hurt."

Xi Nan: "Forget it, you said this in such a mechanical and cold voice, it's better to shut up."

system:"……"

Xi Nan sighed, thinking back on everything these days, he couldn't help saying: "Tong, at first I really thought that Zhu Guanyu was a useless puppet with no responsibility at all. Only now I realize that his scheming is very deep."

System: "Yes."

Xi Nan: "He was born in a humble family, endured humiliation, and faced national crisis. He was able to hold on. Not only was he thinking of ways to fight back against the barbarians, but he also seized the opportunity to kill the Queen Mother. He was about to reach the pinnacle of his life. How do I think, he It is in line with the time-traveling character design, and the classic script is also taken. Doesn’t he also have a system?”

System: "What are you saying, are you thinking that the identity I gave you is not good?"

Xi Nan: "You didn't give me an identity."

System: "Oh."

Nanhu Palace, inside another palace.

Zhu Guanyu is looking at the newly sent military situation.

Xue Zhuang was seriously injured, and Wang Yu almost died.

But everything went according to plan.

The army dispatched from the northern border has ambushed in the valley outside Lanque City.

When the Ximanzi fight all the way, they will be ambushed.

After Zhu Guanyu watched it, he called a soldier who came to send military information. "Remove the two northern border troops. Let them come here to escort."

"But..." the soldier hesitated, "Originally, he was sure to win, but the subordinates are afraid that if this happens, the chances of winning will be reduced by a few layers."

Zhu Guanyu took out a letter, which was written by the old mother imitating the queen mother's notes in the past two days. "This is the order of the queen mother and the uncle of the country. They are all good. It's nothing. Show these to the royal army. They will know."

"Yes." The soldier finally took the order and left.

Zhu Guanyu narrowed his eyes, and an indifferent smile slipped across his eyes. "I know that even if so many troops are temporarily transferred, maybe you still have a way to survive. But in this life, you will eventually step into the trap set by me step by step, and there is no escape."
