Xiao Huli's return to glory persisted for seven days like a miracle, and finally died in regret. He made a final decree beforehand: "The Central Plains is uncertain, and I swear not to bury him!"

Everyone maintained a respectful attitude towards the last wish of the founding emperor of the Chen Dynasty. Chongqi even contributed top secrets to ensure that the body would not rot, and parked Xiao Huli's coffin on the north city gate tower, hoping that he would see it.

On the day when Beiding conquered the Central Plains, this move was romantic in the eyes of the scholars. At the same time, it was also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, allowing everyone to see the Chen Dynasty's firm confidence in unifying the world.

Prince Xiao Bo succeeded to the throne in front of his soul, revered Xiao Huli as Taizu, and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Beiding. Queen Zhong Rouning respected him as Queen Mother, and listened to the government behind the curtain before the emperor reached the age of sixteen. The seven auxiliary ministers immediately paid homage to the new emperor.

Kneeling is the most difficult thing to endure. Xinjun is young, and among Xiao Huli's juniors, only Xiao Yu is the closest to him, so Xiao Yu naturally assumes this responsibility.

"Your Highness, everything is ready. Chongqi has returned secretly this morning. Now he is estimated to have entered the boundary of Yongzhou. According to his previous promise, if he enters Yongzhou safely, the troops deployed in the south will be dispatched immediately.

." Gan Ming knelt behind Xiao Yu and whispered.

"What was the reaction of Meng Yan's soldiers and horses at Shaonanguan?" Xiao Yu asked in a low voice.

"There is no movement. All our people have arrived safely in Aotou Town. As soon as a signal is sent from the city, they will come in immediately. The leader is General Teng Han."

To be on the safe side, Xiao Yu deliberately took the risk and transferred Teng Han to lead the troops. If they knew that Teng Han was not in Jiujiang, both Meng Yan and Zhong Roulan would burst into laughter.

"Tell the brothers that Chou Shi will take control of the Suzaku Sect at any moment. Unless the ministers in the court strongly resist, please do not harm their lives. The Pinghai Guild will cooperate with you." Xiao Yu thought for a while and finally gave the order.

"Zhongshi, how should we deal with Mengshi?" Gan Ming knew that the prince's biggest enemies were Zhong Roulan and Meng Yan, so he asked deliberately.

"Anyone of the Zhong family, except for Princess Chenyang, will be killed on the spot if they resist." Xiao Yu said coldly. For him, relatives like the Zhong family cannot let them become a climate and must be eliminated. Then he continued:

"The Three Meng Family Halls can't achieve anything big. As long as they are stable, house arrest will be fine. As for Meng Yan, you can't stop him, but you must control his wife and children. If he wants to leave, don't stop him, but I don't think he will leave.

of."

After accepting the order, Gan Ming looked around and quietly retreated.

While Xiao Yu was arranging everything, Zhong Roulan was not idle. After the funeral, Zhong Roulan hurried to Bieyuan. At this moment, the atmosphere in Bieyuan was obviously tense. Murong Changfeng had secretly sneaked into Chencheng for many days. Now,

Standing next to Zhong Roulan.

"Princess, are you still unwilling?" Murong Changfeng asked.

Zhong Roulan took a sip of tea, frowned and said, "Second sister always has some unrealistic ideas. Her sadness and anger have affected the current situation. How is Nangang?"

"Princess Princess, Nangang has been captured, the captain of Nangang has pledged his allegiance to us, and General Zhong Qian has led his troops to land." Murong Changfeng looked a little excited when he said this.

"Well, as soon as Chou Shi arrives, we will immediately set out to capture the Xuanwu Gate and control the inner city. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed," Zhong Roulan gave the final order, "Tell him that he can take action, I want to live!"

Murong Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then greedily licked his lips and said, "Don't worry, Princess, no one can escape!"

The night is getting darker and darker. All the markets in Chencheng have closed early due to the national mourning. Both the inner city and the outer city are surprisingly quiet. Jincheng County Prince's Palace is as quiet as usual, but today there is a faint trace in the inner house.

of lights.

"Madam, let's go. Outside the tunnel is Mr. Yu's Mansion. Mr. Yu arranged for us to go out through Qinglongmen." Gu Qingfeng, dressed in soft armor and strong armor, said in a low voice.

"I wonder what's going on over there at Qi Lang, Chencheng is too quiet today." Cang Shu Haoyue said worriedly.

"Yes! It's too quiet. Madam can't wait any longer. It's important to get out of the city quickly." Gu Qingfeng urged.

"Okay, let's go!"

However, in just one stick of incense, Cang Shu Haoyue and his party arrived at the Qinglong Gate. The people who responded quickly opened the Qinglong Gate and soon their figures disappeared into the dark night. But what they didn't know was that they were about to face the darkest moment in Zhengxi Mansion.

time.

Cang Shu Haoyue and others successfully left Chencheng before the ugly hour arrived. When passing through Yuqing Town, Cang Shu Haoyue ordered some repairs.

Gu Qingfeng carried Meng Wanshu, who was already asleep, to Cang Shu Haoyue's car, but the uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious. Logically speaking, he had escaped, and his mood should be relaxed. Could it be that Meng Yan

Someone had an accident in the city?

Meng Huan came over with a sad face and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go. I always feel that something is not right and I feel very uncomfortable!"

Gu Qingfeng also nodded in agreement. Seeing that both of them refused to stay, Cang Shu Haoyue was about to decide to move on when something unexpected happened. The surroundings were suddenly brightly lit, and a group of men in black emerged from the darkness and surrounded them.

Cang Shu Haoyue and others had no time to react as the densely packed bows and arrows were shot at them. Meng Huan was immediately hit by an arrow in the chest and fell on the carriage. Before he passed out, he shouted: "Baizewei! Charge and kill! Escort the wife!"

Gu Qingfeng was decisive, and immediately used the "starry chessboard" technique to cover the chariot driver, and then quickly galloped his horse to charge. The remaining Bai Zewei could not control the attacks they received, and all moved closer to the chariot driver, but Bai Zewei had more time with a cup of tea.

There was not much left under the bow and arrow of the wheel. Only Cang Shu Haoyue and her daughter were on the carriage. Apart from the unconscious Meng Huan and Gu Qingfeng who was driving, only Cang Shu Haoyue's personal maid was left.

After finally breaking out of the encirclement, Gu Qingfeng didn't dare to delay and couldn't care about what was happening behind him, until a voice came out from the car, "Qingfeng, stop for a moment."

This was the voice of Cang Shu Haoyue, but the voice was full of helplessness. Gu Qingfeng immediately became vigilant, and just as he was about to use his skills, another voice came out: "Miss Qingfeng, you'd better not use force, my wife's life is in my hands."

superior."

Gu Qingfeng felt bad, so he used his sword to lift the car curtain and saw the maid holding a dagger on Cang Shu Haoyue's neck, and the dagger in her other hand was hanging on Meng Wanshu's heart.

Seeing this scene, Gu Qingfeng relaxed. The uneasiness along the way finally came to an end. Gu Qingfeng smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Whose are you? Luantai? Nanya?"

"Miss Qingfeng, you are also a poor person. Meng Yan has made the Gu family into what it is today, why do you have to sacrifice your life for him?" the maid persuaded with good intentions.

"You want me to betray the prince? Tell me your conditions." Gu Qingfeng said easily.

"Young lady is indeed a sensible person. As long as you are willing, I can help you restore the glory of the Gu family. How about it?"

"Hahaha!..." Gu Qingfeng laughed until his stomach hurt and he couldn't stand up straight.

The maid was confused and didn't know what was so funny about this. Finally, when Gu Qingfeng stopped laughing, Gu Qingfeng's expression suddenly turned cold and said: "The Gu family's glory has been accumulated by the Gu family for thousands of years. Who do you think you are?"

!”

"Gu Qingfeng, don't be ungrateful! Now that I have killed Cang Shu Haoyue and Meng Wanshu, do you think Meng Yan will believe you?!" the maid shouted hysterically.

Gu Qingfeng did not speak, but stared at the maid. When he saw the maid getting angry, suddenly Gu Qingfeng said word by word: "You are from Luantai, but your allegiance is to Tingtaoxuan, right?"

Cold sweat began to break out on the maid's forehead, and the fear of being exposed was always uncomfortable. At this time, Cang Shu Haoyue, who had been silent for a long time, smiled and said: "Ping'er, let me guess, are you planning to kidnap me to the East China Sea, and then

Use our mother and daughter to force the prince to cooperate with Donghai?"

"Madam is indeed smart, but I'm sorry, you have all guessed my identity. I don't plan to keep you here anymore. The role of the young lady is more valuable than the two of you smart people." Ping'er said proudly.

"You stayed with Su Qing when the prince was injured for the first time. You were only thirteen years old at that time. Only Donghai Tingtaoxuan could train someone so ruthlessly from childhood. Are you from the Central Plains or Donghai?

People?" Cang Shu Haoyue started chatting calmly.

"Of course I'm from the East China Sea. What does Madam mean by asking this?" Ping'er felt a little strange.

"Nothing, I'm just asking. If you were from the Central Plains, I would feel sad, but if you were from the East China Sea, there would be no problem. The people from the East China Sea have always been shameless, violent, and no different from animals." Although Cang Shu Haoyue said.

Relaxed, but heart-breaking every word.

"You are still so arrogant when you are about to die!" Ping'er was furious.

"How sad I am! The dead warrior Sanniang trained with great difficulty is actually from the East China Sea," Cang Shu Haoyue said as she diverted Ping'er's attention and prepared to escape.

"Zhong Roulan is nothing! She is just a chess piece of our Dadonghai!" Ping'er said proudly.

At this moment, Cang Shu Haoyue suddenly stood up, turned around, removed the dagger pointed at Meng Wanshu, quickly hugged Meng Wanshu and rushed towards Gu Qingfeng, but this action angered Ping'er, and even underestimated the training of Tingtao Pavilion.

When the killer came out, Ping'er reacted quickly and stabbed Cang Shu Haoyue's heart with a dagger.

Cang Shu Haoyue threw Meng Wanshu to Gu Qingfeng with pain, then turned around and pounced on Ping'er, wrestling with her. However, the pain in her heart made her unable to use her strength, and she collapsed on Ping'er's body in a few moments.

around.

Seeing that Cang Shu Haoyue had fallen, Ping'er rushed directly towards Gu Qingfeng. Gu Qingfeng had the child in his arms and could only parry. Ping'er caught Gu Qingfeng's flaw and stabbed Meng Wanshu with a dagger. Gu Qingfeng had no time to dodge.

He had no choice but to expose his back. Soon after, a sharp sword penetrated Ping'er's chest.

Before Gu Qingfeng could wait for the dagger to strike, he looked back and saw Meng Huan standing behind Ping'er, shaking his body.

"Miss Qingfeng, are you okay?" Meng Huan asked, holding on for dear life.

Gu Qingfeng shook his head, ignoring Meng Huan who was leaning on the car, and hurriedly looked at Cang Shu Haoyue. Cang Shu Haoyue had already sat up. Seeing Gu Qingfeng coming in with the child safe and sound, he said with a smile: "Qingfeng,

Thank you very much."

"Madam, how are you? Can you still hold on?" Gu Qingfeng saw that Cang Shu Haoyue's chest was already soaked with blood.

Cang Shu Haoyue said with a sad smile: "I can't survive anymore. Take Wanshu and Shiyilang away quickly and keep going north. Don't look back."

"Sister-in-law! Hold on!" Meng Huan shouted crying outside.

At this time, the voices of the pursuers came from behind and they were getting closer. Cang Shu Haoyue smiled happily at Gu Qingfeng: "Qingfeng, I can't survive anymore. Listen to me. I entrust you with three things.

Firstly, don’t blame Su Qing, this girl would commit suicide if she didn’t think about it; secondly, don’t tell my father about my death; thirdly, I’ll leave the prince and the child to you, don’t be estranged from Qilang just because you are the daughter of the Gu family.”

Gu Qingfeng was already sobbing and could only keep shaking her head. Cang Shu Haoyue wanted to reach out and touch Gu Qingfeng, but her body had no strength. She could feel her body getting colder and colder. She shouted with all her strength.

Said: "Eleventh Lang! Let's go!"

Meng Huan climbed onto the carriage with all his strength and stabbed the horse's butt. The horse galloped forward in pain.

Cang Shu Haoyue heard the voices of the pursuers getting closer and closer. Looking at Meng Wanshu who couldn't stop crying in Gu Qingfeng's arms, she comforted her: "Shu'er, be good, listen to your aunt, your mother will be here soon."

After saying that, Cang Shu Haoyue gave Gu Qingfeng one last smile, pushed open the back window and climbed out. When Gu Qingfeng wanted to reach out and grab it, it was already too late.

Gu Qingfeng could only watch Cang Shu Haoyue's figure getting smaller and smaller until she disappeared...
