Chapter 706: Chaos in the Capital
A banquet in the palace ended abruptly because the old emperor vomited blood.
Lin Qianyue got the news first and immediately ordered the people hiding in the dark of the imperial city to take action.
An assassination attempt on the Ya'an envoy was carried out silently.
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Qianyue had just taken a short rest when a young man in black came to report.
"Madam, a shadow has been spotted in the palace."
"Royal Palace?"
Lin Qianyue was a little confused, "Are you sure it was the shadow trained by Xiao Jin?"
"Yes."
The young man in black was confident, and after a pause, he said, "We used smoke bombs to knock out three people, and the remaining two were lost."
"Really?"
Lin Qianyue was surprised, "Quick, take me to interrogate those two shadows."
"Yes."
Taking the various poisons given by her daughter, Lin Qianyue followed the young man in black to the guest house of the Duke's Mansion.
Qian Qian was finally woken up by her mother while she was sleeping soundly. She squinted her eyes and watched her mother leave in a hurry.
He rubbed his eyes, turned over and continued to sleep.
At the same time, Xiao Cheng spent a whole night, using the interrogation insect to finally understand the situation in Ya'an State.
It turns out that the Ya'an people were just a group of pirates. The pirates found out how to mix black powder from oriental fireworks.
Relying on the powerful weapon of black powder, they invaded the homes of the indigenous people of Ya'an.
Through those Ya'an army generals, Xiao Cheng learned that the indigenous people of Ya'an were now living in dire straits.
Most of the tributes that the Ya'an army received from the three countries of Daqian, Qi and Zhao were used to support the upper-class nobles of Ya'an.
The civilians' lives are miserable. The Ya'an navy that he had stunned with smoke bombs in the past few days accounted for almost two-thirds of the entire Ya'an naval force.
After learning the truth, Xiao Cheng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The mere Ya'an was able to defeat the three kingdoms of Daqian, Qi and Zhao.
"Black powder," Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes, "What is black powder?"
"My daughter gave me the formula and manufacturing drawings of the bomb."
Thinking of choosing the most unique poison from the pile of poisons given by his daughter, he called the young man in black.
"Feed this poison to all the Ya'an troops."
After a pause, he said, "Tell the local officials who received the Ya'an Army that all the people of Ya'an are cursed by my Great Qian Guardian God."
"If they travel more than fifty miles from their destination, they will fester and die within half an incense stick."
The young man in black looked at his master in confusion. If such a medicine really existed, it would be too miraculous.
"Oh," Xiao Cheng smiled, "If you don't believe it, you can just ask officials from all over the country to try using people from Ya'an."
"By the way, remind them that it's best to try it in front of all the people who are taking in the Ya'an people."
The young man in black took the medicine box and said, "Yes."
The fourteen or fifteen year old boy had bright eyes and looked eager to try.
Xiao Cheng curled his lips, "If you want, you can try it."
"Yes."
The boy turned around and left happily holding the poison.
Xiao Cheng felt that it was no wonder that his daughter was so close to Ouyang Nanxin, that hoarse voice did show that she had a talent for making drugs.
Thinking this, I closed my eyes, entered the space with my mind and began to sort out the things I had collected in the past few days.
At the same time, the capital of Daqian.
The Ya'an envoy was woken up early in the morning. Seeing more than 60 naked corpses of Ya'an people placed at the entrance of the post station, he was so angry that his eyes turned red.
"How could this be?"
The people of Ya'an loudly expressed their dissatisfaction in their own language, "Who on earth did this?"
"Inferior race, inferior race, how dare they, how dare they?"
The Ya'an envoys vented their anger and looked around to see that no one was paying attention to them.
Then they walked towards the corpses one by one and checked them. When they saw a familiar letter among the neatly arranged corpses.
The heart filled with anger began to be truly filled with fear.
Wasn’t that the secret letter that they sent out of the imperial city after Emperor Daqian vomited blood?
Why is the letter here?
So the letter wasn't sent?
"General," the envoy's subordinate came quickly, bowed and raised his hand, "this."
John looked at what his subordinate was holding in his hand, his pupils trembled and he stopped breathing.
"This……"
What the subordinate was holding in his hand was the sapphire that his younger brother wore daily when he led the Ya'an Army stationed a hundred miles away from the capital of Daqian.
Although the blue color was stained with blood, it was still dazzling in the morning light and made people unable to take their eyes off it.
John was about to lose his temper when he heard the sound of horse hooves. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw an oriental young man in black riding a horse towards him.
The boy stopped his horse in front of John and threw three square boxes from the horse's back.
He gave John a contemptuous smile, turned his horse around and rode away quickly.
John felt a chill down his spine and an extremely uneasy feeling.
The subordinate picked up the three wooden boxes tremblingly and opened them carefully.
The moment he opened it, his expression suddenly changed, "General."
John's breathing became rapid, and his vision went dark as he looked at the heads of his younger brother and two trusted aides.
His fists clenched tightly, his anger almost reaching its peak, "Daqian country, Daqian country, you are looking for death, you are looking for death,"
shhhhhh!
Before he finished speaking, a sudden sound of wind blew.
John felt a sudden pain in his heart and looked down at the long black arrow in his chest.
John...
"This, this, the Great Qian Kingdom is crazy..."
At noon that day, Emperor Daqian woke up from his coma.
The chief eunuch hurriedly called for the imperial physician, who examined the emperor and asked him to drink some medicine, and his mind finally became clear again.
Thinking of the banquet, "Grand Eunuch, last night,"
"Oh, Your Majesty," said the eunuch Wu Yue, whose face was flushed with joy, "the Ya'an army, a hundred miles outside the capital, was completely annihilated by the Qin family's veteran general."
"Hahaha, no one is left alive, no one is left alive."
Oh my god, after being bullied by people from Ya’an all my life, I can finally hold my head high!
The old emperor...
"How can this be done?"
He finally regained his clarity of mind, but it began to throb, "Don't forget, eunuch. The people of Ya'an have black gunpowder."
My hands were shaking with anger.
"We have completely offended them this time. What should Daqian do? What should we do?"
Wu Yue...
"This... Your Majesty,"
"No," the old emperor slapped the edge of the bed fiercely, "Who wiped out the Ya'an Army?"
"Qin's Army."
"Humph, hasn't the Qin family army been controlled by Xiao Jin for a long time?"
Wu Yue rolled his eyes and said, "Yeah, oh my old slave is confused."
"Your Majesty, could it be that the Qin Army and the Duke of Zhenguo...fell out?"
The old emperor's eyes lit up, "How is the flood in Lingnan?"
Wu Yue immediately sent someone to investigate.
A storm was brewing in the imperial palace, and the capital was in turmoil because of the death of the Ya'an envoy.
Lin Qianyue was leisurely eating hotpot with her daughter in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. She stared at the red hot soup in front of her daughter and felt like crying.
"My daughter," she said pitifully, "give your mother a taste."
"Mom," Qian Qian made up her mind, "You haven't even finished your confinement yet."
Lin Qianyue...
"If it weren't for the red fruit, I would be very strong now."
"Oh, just give mother a taste?"
“Just one bite!”
Money money...
"Forehead,"
"Madam, Miss, Madam," Mother Zhu panted and hurried, "Master Xiao Yu is fine, he has opened his eyes,"
"Really?"
As he spoke Qian Qian ran towards the ear room like the wind.
Mother Zhu...
"No, oh, miss, please slow down, I haven't finished yet."
"Nothing," Lin Qianyue smiled slyly, "Mother Zhu, try this hot pot, mushroom soup pot."
Mother Zhu...
Qian Qian quickly moved his short legs to Xiao Yu's bedroom and saw the young man blinking and staring blankly at the ceiling of the bed.
He took a step forward and held Xiao Yu's hand, [Tongzi, how do you feel? ]
[Can you move? ]
[Hmm,] The system is confused, [very subtle, does this count as working?]
【I, why can’t I see it. 】
Money money...
