Chapter 6
Binzhou border, Shuangyun Mountain.
Once you leave Shuangyun Mountain, you are out of the southern border.
The old eunuch sat in the carriage, with the imperial guards leading the way and guarding him, heading straight for Qianjing.
The old eunuch was still gritting his teeth in hatred at this moment. If he had the chance, he would make the other party suffer a fate worse than death.
Cut off his head and make a chamber pot from his skull to serve as his chamber pot.
As soon as they left Shuangyun Mountain, the old eunuch lifted the curtain of the carriage and took a look at the southern border behind him.
The next time our family comes, it will be with a large army approaching.
He was about to lower the curtain when the Grand Master's alertness made him step back.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp sword pierced through the carriage, only a punch away from the old eunuch.
"There are assassins!"
The leader of the imperial guards immediately noticed the abnormality and quickly drew his sword, wanting to command his imperial guards to fight.
But just after he finished speaking, a sharp arrow pierced his throat and he fell off his horse.
Immediately afterwards, countless sharp arrows were shot towards the imperial guards from both sides.
The Imperial Guards were at a disadvantage and had no idea how many enemies there were, so the situation was very unfavorable for them.
"Zhennan Palace!"
The old eunuch gritted his teeth and said, they were attacked as soon as they left the southern border. Apart from the Prince of Zhennan's Palace, who else would have such courage?
"go!"
The old eunuch gave the order directly without knowing the other party's situation.
If he had sensed the auras of the two great masters coming together at the Zhennan Palace before, he would have died today without a doubt.
The carriage galloped away and soon disappeared from sight.
The surrounding area was filled with the corpses of the imperial guards.
"Let them chase, play with them."
Zhao Gao stood halfway up the mountain, watching the carriage depart, and gave an order to Hei Bai Xuan Jian.
"Leave this needle in the old guy's body."
"Even if he returns to Qianjing, he won't be able to survive."
As Zhao Gao spoke, he handed an extremely thin needle, as thin as a hair, to Hei Bai Xuan Jian.
Seeing Hei Bai Xuan Jian take it, Zhao Gao took his men and left immediately.
The prince still needs him.
Hei Bai Xuan Jian put away the needle and then covered his face with a piece of cloth. Today, they were bandits.
...
Qianjing.
Hall of the Universe.
Li Chen, the ruler of Daqian, was reviewing memorials, and at the foot of the stairs, an old eunuch was kneeling.
Obviously, he was the one who went to the southern border to convey the imperial edict.
"Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhennan's Palace must be destroyed!"
"If you continue to indulge yourself like this, you will become a serious threat to our Daqian in the future!"
"Especially Su Heng, he has no respect for the royal family at all, his intentions are clear as day!"
The old eunuch kept crying, but Li Chen just quietly reviewed the memorials and did not pay much attention to him.
It's like he doesn't know what he's crying about, and he still needs you to tell him?
After a long time, Li Qian finished reviewing all the memorials on the desk and rubbed his swollen brows.
"Go down!"
This old eunuch's noise gave him a headache.
If he was not still of some use, why would he indulge the other party like this?
"His Majesty!"
The old eunuch wanted to say something, but Li Chen just said "hmm" and didn't dare to make any other moves. He retreated obediently.
But after taking only two steps, his eyes widened.
Then black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and he fell to the ground.
Li Chen paused as he opened the memorial, took a glance, then returned to normal and continued to check the memorial in his hand.
Li Chen's personal eunuch, the chief eunuch Hao, also began to investigate.
After all, he was a powerful grandmaster, and the eunuch chief quickly discovered the location of the poison needle.
He exerted force with his palm and forced the poison needle out.
Then he had him dragged down so that he wouldn't stay there and offend His Majesty.
"His Majesty..."
"Understood."
Just as the chief eunuch was about to report the details, he was stopped by Li Chen.
He is not blind, he can see, and he knows the reason.
"The tea is cold, go get a new one."
Li Chen put down the memorial in his hand, glanced at the chief eunuch, and gave an order.
The chief eunuch understood, bowed and left.
"waste."
After the person left, Li Chen couldn't help but curse angrily.
Of course, this was not an insult to the chief eunuch, but to the old eunuch.
A man covered in a black robe walked out from the darkness.
"How's the situation?"
Li Chen picked up the hot tea beside him, took a sip, and asked a question.
"The Zhennan Palace has issued a proclamation to the Baili tribe, demanding they return the body within three days. If they fail to do so, their entire clan will be exterminated."
The man in black robe spoke and reported the situation.
When Li Chen heard this, he put down the red pen he was using to review the document and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Since he's so confident, let him hit the wall."
Li Chen spoke with disdain. If the Baili tribe was so easy to attack, how could he allow them to live until now?
Even your father couldn't do it, I want to see how you can do it?
"Your Majesty, this is the memorial that was just submitted."
The eunuch brought over the hot tea, and behind him were two young eunuchs, each holding a tray of memorials.
He skillfully put down the memorial and took away the one he had reviewed.
"Huh, these old guys."
Li Chen couldn't help but snort coldly. Needless to say, he knew that these memorials must be about the Prince of Zhennan.
It's all garbage.
I thought Su Yan was a big shot, but unfortunately he is just a useless guy.
If the poisoning is successful, then I will have enough room to operate.
The Prince of Zhennan has only two sons. Once Su Heng dies, Su Yan will be the only heir.
No matter how reluctant the ministers were, they had no choice but to accept it.
Besides, he had already sent a grandmaster to announce the decree, so he had a lot of room to maneuver.
But this loser actually endured it. He is indeed a rootless bastard.
No matter who died between Su Heng and the eunuch who announced the imperial decree, it would be beneficial to him.
With Su Heng's death, it would be much easier to plot against Prince Zhennan's Mansion.
He had a legitimate reason to announce the death of the eunuch.
If you want to die, why not die in Prince Zhennan's Mansion? What's the point of dying?
Now that the plan has failed, Su Heng's succession to the position of King of Zhennan is a foregone conclusion.
Perhaps it is not a bad idea for Su Heng to succeed to the throne, after all, he has rebellious intentions.
But as long as the other party resists, things will be much easier.
Now, we have to force the other side to rebel.
It’s just a pity for those imperial guards. After all, it is not easy for the royal family to train such a team.
As for the bandits?
What kind of bandits dare to attack the royal guards?
"Check on the robbers."
Li Chen spoke to the man in black robe. He always felt that Su Lu'an had left a backup plan for the Prince of Zhennan's Palace.
Otherwise, where did these robbers suddenly appear from?
The man in black robe responded and retreated.
"Zhennan Palace."
"After all, this world belongs to my Li family."
"No emperor would allow your existence."
Li Chen looked towards the southern border and muttered to himself.
