Chapter 169: Sword to the West
Chapter 169: Sword to the West
I have just seen the bandits in the mountain village. They seem to be more organized than the soldiers in the military camp of Yun Kingdom.
He knew he had made the right move.
What does it matter how others laugh at me for recruiting bandits?
In order to obtain supreme power, he would even promise to give away his wife.
The Sixth Prince brought Xianxian back to Yuncheng safely to report, and they were unstoppable in the battle a month later.
The Sixth Prince is now completely different from the past. With the support of the civil officials and Xianxian's help in clearing other obstacles, he has become the most valued son of the Emperor of Yun Kingdom.
The Liang and Zhou states entered into a fierce war, and the civil unrest in Yun State continued unabated.
Finally, the eldest prince was held accountable for secretly keeping the dragon robe. Many people died that night and the blood splattered directly in front of the second prince's mansion.
Xianxian tied her hair into a ponytail and swung her sword. The head of the person being beheaded rolled in front of him.
The second prince took two steps back in fear. At this time, Xianxian shook off the blood on the sword.
The woman's voice was exceptionally soft and pleasant, but to the Second Prince's ears it sounded like the voice of the King of Hell.
"I was ordered to kill the remnants of the eldest prince's gang. I am really rude. I wonder if the second prince was frightened?"
Madam Su, she doesn’t have a full name, but she is like a sharp blade hanging over the second prince’s head.
At the beginning, he cooperated with the eldest prince. In order to prevent the sixth prince from getting the help of Madam Su, he instigated other generals to put pressure on the other side.
But Madam Su was really amazing. Even though she was born into an unpromising female family, she still relied on her continuous military exploits to successfully attain her current status.
In just three short months, she has helped the Yun Kingdom regain a lot of territory. The current emperor attaches great importance to her and specially conferred her the title of First-Rank Lady Protector of the Nation.
The second prince swallowed his saliva and his hands trembled slightly.
"No, nothing, Madam, just take care of your official business."
At this time, Wu Zhuimeng came on horseback, his eyes fell on the second prince and then he clasped his fist towards Xianxian.
"Madam, the rest of the rebels have been killed, and the soldiers have returned to report."
You have to know that the eldest prince has military generals behind him, but in their mouths, they are as easy to cut as carrots.
The second prince was completely awake at this time. What is a first-rank lady who protects the country? She is simply a wolf.
She had killed countless people since the first day she arrived in the capital, and her father's health was getting weaker and weaker, and there were signs that he was dying.
He no longer has the energy to deal with Madam Su, and the throne is very likely to fall on the head of the Sixth Prince.
Everyone knows that Madam Su supports the Sixth Prince.
The second prince felt a chill all over his body, especially when he accidentally looked into Xianxian's eyes. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he saw murderous intent in Xianxian's eyes.
After Xianxian and his men left, he leaned against the wall and quickly ordered his staff to come forward.
He wanted to start his own plan. Only by killing his good brother, the Sixth Prince, would he have a chance of survival.
In the Lady Protector of the Country's residence, Xianxian had already changed into casual clothes and was leaning on a recliner. Shi Nan was making tea for her, his movements smooth and flowing with indescribable elegance.
"Madam, the Second Prince's Mansion has taken action."
Outside the screen, the maid who received the news began to report.
Xianxian opened her eyes and smiled meaningfully.
"Tell Wu Zhuimeng to find a way to help him and make sure he is charged with treason."
"Yes."
Shi Nan placed the teacup in front of Xianxian and said, "I thought Wanniang was doing this for the Sixth Prince's great cause, but I never thought you were actually trying to clear the emperor's entourage."
"correct."
She stretched out her legs and gently placed them on his shoulders, grabbing a strand of his hair with one hand.
"I don't care about the position of queen at all. Is there anything in the world that could make me happier than being the emperor?"
"The current emperor wanted to pass the throne to the Sixth Prince simply because the Sixth Prince told him that Madam Su was eager to become the Queen, but she never thought that I was more interested in the throne."
"Doesn't the Second Prince want to play a big game? I will help him play the biggest one, and then my sharp sword will chop off his head, and that will be justified."
"Wan Niang is really amazing."
At this time, Shi Nan put his hands on her ankles and gently rubbed them, causing her slender red lips to slightly open and her face to look seductive.
"Give me a good massage, and I'll make you my husband in the future."
His eyes lit up when he heard that, "Thank you, Wanniang."
Two days later, Xianxian found an excuse to leave to do some work. This gave the Second Prince an opportunity. He joined forces with the Queen in the palace and prepared to kill the Sixth Prince directly to eliminate the trouble once and for all.
But when he captured the Sixth Prince and was about to take action, Xianxian actually brought his men to surround the Sixth Prince's mansion.
Xianxian had a smile in her eyes as she looked at the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince in front of her and spoke in a cold voice.
"In compliance with His Majesty's decree, execute the rebellious Second Prince!"
"what?"
According to the plan, the Second Prince had the Queen poison the Emperor, and then put all the blame on the Sixth Prince.
He killed the Sixth Prince in the name of investigating a case, and directly executed him without reporting to the emperor later.
All plans are based on the assumption that Xianxian is not in the capital.
Now that Xianxian has come with the imperial edict, she must have known that her mother has been exposed.
His eyes turned red and he clenched the dagger in his hand and asked, "Where is my mother?"
"The current queen mother is trying to poison the king. What do you think will be the outcome?"
"No!"
The Second Prince placed the dagger on the Sixth Prince's neck, with panic and struggle in his eyes.
"My mother did everything for me, Madam Su. I will use my life in exchange for my mother's life, okay?"
But Xianxian remained unmoved and raised the imperial edict.
"This is your majesty's order and cannot be disobeyed."
Knowing that Xianxian was really hard-hearted, the Second Prince had madness in his eyes, and his dagger left a bloody mark on the Sixth Prince's neck.
"If you don't let my mother go, I will definitely kill him today!"
The Sixth Prince sensed the danger and felt a tingling sensation in his neck.
There was a flash of panic in his eyes, and he was afraid that the Second Prince would become emotionally unstable and kill him.
Therefore, the Sixth Prince looked at Xianxian and ordered, "Madam Su, you have to put me first. The Queen is no longer a threat. You can let her live to atone for her sins."
Now the only way to ensure your own life is to delay the war.
Xianxian handed the imperial edict to Wu Zhuimeng, and then, under the expectant gaze of the Second Prince, she swung her sword and slashed the Sixth Prince's throat. The blood gushing from the Sixth Prince stained half of the Second Prince's face.
The Sixth Prince didn't even leave a last word. He just fell down with his hands covering his neck and his eyes wide open.
"You, you, you killed him?"
The second prince did not hold the dagger firmly in his hand, and his bloodstained face was full of fear.
But Xianxian took out her handkerchief and wiped the sword.
"Yes, the Second Prince has good eyesight."
He was so scared that he collapsed to the ground and asked in confusion, "Aren't you his?"
"His people?"
"Just because he gave me some junk for no reason and then dangled the carrot of the position of Queen to me?"
