One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
The heart-breaking cases of the past two months have gradually faded away.
Bringing up old things again.
The anger of all the people seemed to burn down this Fan Mansion.
Su Muchi dared to swear, and every word was much more credible than the rumors in the city.
No matter what, Su Muchi and Yu Zhi are private matters.
And the matter of poaching one's heart and extracting blood is outraged by both humans and gods.
"Fan Lixin, what else do you have to say?" Yu Zhi asked.
Fan Lixin had long known what Fan Liren had done, so he would kill Uncle Fu at all costs and put all the blame on Uncle Fu.
Today, all the truth is revealed.
The face of Fan Mansion that Fan Lixin wanted to save completely collapsed.
Fan Lixin stared at Yu Zhi, everything was because of Yu Zhi, all because of this Yu Zhi.
In Fan Lixin's view, the so-called truth is just because of Yu Zhi's background, because of Yu Zhi's official position, and because everyone is afraid of Yu Zhi.
So everyone believes in Yu Zhi and this bitch Su Muchi!
"Let's go." Su Muchi said to Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi looked at Fan Lixin, then glanced at Fan Xiuming, and said, "Su Muchi is my woman. The Fan family should take care of themselves."
After leaving these words, the two of them left hand in hand.
After today, Fan Mansion's reputation in Su City was completely ruined.
No one will believe what Fan Xiuming and his son said anymore.
...
After leaving Fan Mansion, Su Muchi held Yu Zhi's arm, becoming a little more intimate, and her happiness was beyond words.
Suddenly, Su Muchi said worriedly: "You just told the world like this, aren't you afraid that Miss Li will know?"
Yu Zhi's face suddenly fell.
He sighed and said, "Tong'er, she already knows."
"What did you say?" Su Muchi said anxiously, "Are you stupid? How can you say this..."
Su Muchi was like an ant on a hot pot, at a loss.
When Yu Zhi saw this, he chuckled.
"I didn't say that. Tong'er has a keen sense, she knows it herself..."
...
Yu knew that Sucheng had settled down.
"There should be a few days left." Yu Zhi looked at the scene of heavily armed troops in the Su City military camp.
"I don't know how long these soldiers can survive."
Yu Zhi naturally told Zhang Zhongmin and Su Ji the news that Xiang Ji was going to rebel. It was up to them to decide.
If you choose to follow Xiang Ji and rebel, you will be your enemy when we meet again in the future.
Su Muchi saw no one all day long.
The Su family has a lot of properties, and it would be extremely troublesome to deal with them all at once.
Yu Zhi took the group to play around alone.
Some people who didn't understand were all happy with Yu Zhizhi.
"I didn't expect Master Yu and Miss Su's children to be so old. I'm afraid they would have..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? This child was picked up by Master Yu and Miss Su on the official road. The child's family was killed by bandits and they were left homeless."
"..."
In response, Yu Zhi just smiled.
"Brother, are we leaving here?" Tuantuan asked worriedly.
Yu Zhi touched Tuantuan's head and said, "Don't you want to leave here?"
Tuantuan shook his head and looked at Yu Zhi. "I like Brother Yu, I like Sister Su, and I also like this place."
Yu Zhi comforted: "Brother and sister will always be with you."
Because that period of ups and downs made Tuantuan's heart sensitive and fragile.
She doesn't want change. The slightest change would make her feel more worried.
Yu Zhi sighed, children of this age should be carefree. But Tuantuan has a lot of things on his mind.
In the following troubled times, there will be many children who have lost their parents.
Yu Zhi felt deeply powerless.
Kill Xiang Ji and nip this catastrophe in the cradle.
Yu Zhi couldn't do it yet, he could only watch the disaster happen.
Yu Zhi thought of Yun Jin. Thousands of years ago, night ghosts invaded the world, and the catastrophe was far more terrifying than now.
How did people of Yun Jin's generation risk their lives to protect the world?
I feel so sorry for myself!
Yu Zhi has neither the ability nor the ambition to protect the world.
Even protecting the people around him made Yu Zhi feel like he had a heavy burden on his shoulders.
...
Five days later, hundreds of people died in Kyoto overnight. Most of them had their hearts removed and their blood sucked out. They died in extremely miserable conditions.
There were civilians and some officials.
Hundreds of people died overnight, shocking both the government and the public.
The traces of night ghosts in Kyoto have also begun to be exposed. Kyoto is under martial law, and the five-city military division and the city defense army are patrolling day and night.
No one dares to go out at night for fear of being attacked and killed by night ghosts.
The bustling Kyoto became a little deserted after that night.
The news soon spread throughout the world.
Everyone suspected that Night Ghost secretly crossed the thousands of miles of ice fields, entered from the north, and sneaked into Kyoto.
At this moment, in the Chu Palace in Nanzhou, Xiao Jingyu was discussing countermeasures with Xiang Ji.
As Xiao Jingyu traveled south from the north, rumors about Xiang Ji's intention to rebel continued to reach his ears.
Xiao Jingyu is not stupid. Even if he is arrogant, he is not stupid.
The rumors are not groundless. If Xiang Ji rebelled, he, Xiao Jingyu, might be buried in Nanzhou Mansion and die at the hands of Xiang Ji.
But Xiao Jingyu still came to Nanzhou.
He wanted to ascend to the throne and this was his only option.
"Uncle King Chu, the military mobilization in Nanzhou has been abnormal recently. Do you really want to...?" Xiao Jingyu asked.
Xiao Jingyu's biological mother is Xiang Ji's adopted sister, and Xiao Jingyu hopes that Xiang Ji will cherish some friendship.
Xiang Ji said bluntly: "Jing Yu, do you think your father will pass the throne to you?"
Xiao Jingyu looked at Xiang Ji, wondering what Xiang Ji meant.
"Father has promised to give me a chance to compete for the throne."
But looking at this now, Xiao Jingyu himself would not believe it.
Xiang Ji said calmly: "The prince is getting married. He has married Li Xiuyuan's granddaughter. Li Xiuyuan and his disciples will be on the side of the prince. And the prince has a reputation as a virtuous man. He has been in the East Palace for a long time and has already taken the lead."
"Do you think you still have a chance?"
Xiao Jingyu clenched his fists tightly, with a fierce look in his eyes. He didn't want to believe it, but he could only admit that it was the truth.
"Jing Yu, you have been training with me since you were a child. I regard you as my son. If you follow me, after a hundred years, the throne will be yours." Xiang Ji drank the fine tea.
Xiao Jingyu was shocked and asked: "Uncle King Chu, do you really want to...conspire against him?"
Xiang Ji glanced at Xiao Jingyu, his eyes calm and determined.
"Rebellion...haha." Xiang Ji laughed twice. "Do you know how your father, an idle prince, became the current Emperor of Chu?"
Xiao Jingyu had naturally heard of Xiao Yuande's past deeds.
"My father is the eighth son of the late emperor. The first seven royal brothers are all dragons among men. They were named kings in their early years and held military power in the fiefdom."
"The late emperor passed away without leaving any edict. The kings raised armies to fight for the throne. My father couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so he fought with them and repelled the kings' armies."
Xiang Ji laughed twice more. "The winner is the king, the loser is the enemy. These history books are written by the victors, so you only know what I want you to know."
Xiao Jingyu understood this principle, but if he focused on some things, this principle would lose its effectiveness.
Xiang Ji stood up and looked in the direction of Kyoto. "The late emperor passed away and left behind an edict. In the edict, the late emperor asked the eldest prince Xiao Yuanying to succeed to the throne. But this edict was hidden by your father."
"Father, why..."
"The throne is on the dragon's throne. Who doesn't want to be the emperor?"
Xiao Jingyu didn't think Xiang Ji was lying. Just like him, he also wanted to covet the throne.
Xiang Ji continued: "I was the commander of the imperial army at that time, serving the late emperor. When the late emperor passed away, only your father was at his side, so he handed over the imperial edict to him. Your father did not have any real power at the time, let alone The hope of competing for the throne was enough to reassure the late emperor."
"But the late emperor did not expect that your father did not read out the edict and allowed the kings to raise armies to fight for the throne. He watched the kings fight and reaped the benefits."
Xiao Jingyu sat in a chair blankly, as if he had lost all his strength.
Xiang Ji's words revealed another truth.
After a while, Xiao Jingyu gradually came back to his senses.
Xiang Ji continued: "The so-called rebellion is just a slogan of the world. When I become the master of the world, I will only hear the people of the world bowing their heads and shouting long live."
"Jing Yu, your intelligence far exceeds that of Jing Hao. If you join the army with me, I promise you that I will let you sit on the throne."
Xiao Jingyu still had doubts in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle King Chu, you have a son named Jinghao, how can you pass the throne to me?"
Xiang Ji knew Xiao Jingyu's suspicion. "Jinghao is not of my bloodline. He is just an orphan I picked up and left behind the princess."
"Uncle King Chu will also have heirs in the future." Xiao Jingyu reminded.
Xiang Ji said: "I am already a tenth-grade grandmaster. I have the troops and horses of Nanzhou in my hands, and my Tiger Roaring Army is the most powerful army in Chu. I might as well tell you that I am just thinking about the old love between your mother and concubine. Let me have a few words with you."
"I promise to never break my promise to others. The next emperor after me will be you. Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you. If you want to return to Kyoto, go back and be your third prince. I will never stop you."
Xiang Ji had finished speaking, leaving Xiao Jingyu alone to think about it.
...
Three days later, traces of night ghosts appeared one after another in the prefectural capitals near Kyoto.
Some villages and small towns suffered heavy losses and many people died.
The night ghost seems to be approaching the capital of Kyoto.
All state capitals have stepped up their vigilance, and they all understand that the catastrophe of the Night Ghost has surfaced.
Just when the Emperor of Chu angrily rebuked the Chu army for doing nothing, Nanzhou Prefecture soldiers and horses gathered and headed towards Kyoto.
"The capital was attacked. The King of Chu and his third prince, Xiao Jingyu, led their troops back to the capital to protect the capital!"
Xiang Ji took advantage of the opportunity and acted with a clear banner, making him blameless.
Of course, Xiang Ji's deployment of troops and generals was also criticized. Some people thought that he was taking the opportunity to march into Kyoto.
There are also people speaking for Xiang Ji, and he is accompanied by the third prince Xiao Jingyu. How can it be a rebellion?
This move is a conspiracy.
It’s true that Kyoto was attacked, and it’s true that the Night Ghost was born.
But not to the point of danger.
The current Night Ghost probably does not have the strength to put Dachu Kyoto in danger.
However, Xiang Ji's 300,000 Tiger Roaring Army was able to threaten Kyoto.
The flames of war have begun.
The catastrophe began.
