It is February, and the order belongs to the third spring.
There was still a bit of biting chill in the light rain at this time.
In the mist and rain, the nobles of the court knelt outside Hanyuan Hall.
Hundreds of ministers including Yu Yanyi, Qian Muqian, and Cheng Qingsong knelt outside the palace and begged Zhu Zhankun to withdraw his order.
But how could Zhu Zhankun allow such a thing! ?
To cut the weeds, we need to get rid of the roots! Not to mention the King of Chu, he would not let go of any of the descendants or relatives of the King of Chu.
Of course King Chu was wronged, but does it matter? !
The person who wronged you knows your wrong better than you do.
However, the King of Chu could not stay. Zhu Zhankun's method of ascending to the throne was not glorious. Once people knew about it, I wonder what kind of trouble would be caused?
At that time, the King of Chu will be the biggest threat to his throne.
So he wanted to strike first to get rid of this scourge.
After taking care of King Chu, it was King Wei's turn next.
The King of Chu, King Wei, was the second queen of Taizong, the daughter of the current Queen Mother, and the legitimate son of Taizong.
Both of them are people who may threaten Zhu Zhankun.
The late emperor did not have many concubines, and the number of his heirs was only average.
There were eighteen children in total, eleven of whom died in infancy.
The remaining ones who have grown up are the new king Zhu Zhankun, the king of Chu Zhu Zhangui, the king of Wei Zhu Zhanjun, the king of Wu Zhu Zhanwei, the king of Shu Zhu Zhanli, the princess of Changkang Zhu Qionghua, and the princess of Ankang Zhu Qiongrong.
The number of these children is naturally large for an ordinary family, but for a wealthy family, it is no longer many.
For an emperor who dominates the world, it is generally very reluctant.
…
While Yu Yanyi and his ministers were fighting against the Holy Order, Yuhuatian was already stepping up his efforts to deal with the King of Chu.
The Xichang factory guards did not have the slightest scruple to search the residence of the late emperor's legitimate son and the current prince.
All the women in his house were imprisoned.
"Let's go!"
"Take it!"
The Xichang factory guard bared his fangs at Tian Huanggui, who was supposed to be respectful.
But in the face of these vicious factory guards, someone stood up and shouted.
"You are so presumptuous!"
Although Princess Chu was not from a wealthy family, she was also an heir of poetry and calligraphy. When facing the factory guards, she was unafraid and scolded them harshly.
"This is the Prince of Chu's palace that was conferred by Emperor Taizongwen. This palace is also the Princess of Chu that Ming Media is marrying. Although His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is being investigated, there is no conviction from the Three Laws Division. Who dares to be so presumptuous!?"
Facing such King Chu, all the factory guards were stunned.
But the leader of the third gear of the West Factory reacted immediately, stepped forward immediately, and slapped Princess Chu in the face with "Pah!"
"Do you still think you are the high-ranking princess before!? I tell you, you are a prisoner! You women will be sold to the Jiaofang Department to do the most despicable flesh business!"
Having said this, the third gear head looked at Princess Chu.
Even if Princess Chu is not as good as Zhuang Xiaomeng, Cao Xueyang, and Zhao Min, she can't even be compared with the immortals like Liu Wangshu.
But the wonderful combination of nobility and bookishness in her body made the third gear head of Xichang salivate.
Although the third stall owner of the West Factory is from the West Factory, he is not a eunuch.
There are also many martial arts masters recruited in the West Factory. These people come here for wealth, so naturally they cannot make up their minds to kill themselves.
The third gear driver of the West Factory is the best among them. His martial arts is even better than that of the second gear driver. However, because he is not a eunuch, he is not valued by Yu Huatian, the factory supervisor of the West Factory. He has only been a third gear driver for so many years. .
The third gear head began to look at Princess Chu up and down. With such beauty and status, if she were to join the Jiaofang Division, she didn't know how much money it would cost to get her.
As soon as he thought of this, the lust of the third gear driver could no longer be restrained.
Now she is no longer the high-ranking Princess Chu, but a prisoner who is about to be imprisoned and sent to the Jiaofang Department. Who would care about a prisoner? !
The men on the side also saw the third gear's thoughts and whispered, "Boss, this woman is the princess after all, so don't cause any trouble."
This rational persuasion did not work, and the third gear was already turned up at this time.
"Don't worry, what can a woman who is about to become a Jiaofangsi do?!"
Princess Chu also knew that her situation was not good. She saw the eyes of the third gear head and understood the lust in them. When she was about to scream, the third gear head pointed at her mute point and left her alone. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make a sound.
This third-level acupuncture technique is the unique skill for which he is famous.
The third stall immediately picked up Princess Chu and let her beat him with her fists. Then he said to his men, "You go to other places. By the way, leave two people outside the hospital. Don't let anyone disturb me."
Then he carried Princess Chu up to the attic.
The factory guards downstairs also walked out of the courtyard, leaving only two people to guard the door for the third stall.
As soon as she came up, the third gear threw Princess Chu on the bed.
"Hahaha, princess, let me wait for you!"
The third gear did not choose to seal Princess Chu's acupoints. What's the point of being a wooden man? If he wasn't worried about the influence, he even wanted to open Princess Chu's mute acupuncture points and listen to the gentle cries of the princess.
Princess Chu pulled out a jade hairpin from her bun. She did not choose to commit suicide, but stabbed it into the third position of her head.
The third stall driver chuckled. He had already guessed that this girl would use the jade hairpin to make a fuss, but he didn't expect that instead of committing suicide as he expected, she stabbed her instead.
But a master in the Yuan Hua Realm cannot be matched by a weak woman.
The third gear just touched Princess Chu's wrist lightly, and then knocked the jade hairpin away.
"Hahaha, little beauty, here I come!"
But what the third gear driver didn't notice was that the jade hairpin that was knocked away turned around in the air and came back again.
When the jade hairpin was seven inches closer to the neck of the third gear head, the third gear head noticed something unusual.
But it was already too late, he couldn't dodge at all, he was as fast as a jade hairpin that was shocked.
"tear!"
The sound of jade hairpin entering flesh.
The originally brittle and easily broken jade hairpin was inserted straight into the throat of the third gear head from back to front.
Although the jade hairpin is fragile, the sword intent attached to it is enough for the jade hairpin to penetrate the throat easily.
The blood from the third gear splattered on King Chu's elegant dress.
"Sister-in-law, princess, are you okay?"
The visitor is none other than the Ninth Princess Zhu Qionghua.
Princess Chu had always loved Xiaojiu and Shisan, and Princess Chu had contributed to their elementary school literacy.
Xiaojiu and Shisan got the news that Xichang was ordered to inspect the Chu Prince's Mansion and that all the female papers were filled in the Jiaofang Division. They immediately made up and rushed there, just in time to save the Chu Princess who was about to be humiliated.
"Qionghua?!"
Princess Chu's eyes were full of surprise. She had just had the idea of biting her tongue and committing suicide.
I didn't expect that the Ninth Princess Zhu Qionghua would be here, let alone that her martial arts would be so high.
Just now, these three gear heads killed four palace guards in one move, but were killed by Xiao Jiu with one move.
As everyone knows, although Xiao Jiu is not old, his martial arts has reached the level of Yuanhua. Originally, Wudang's Yin-Yang Wuji Kung Fu was the most basic. It would be slower to practice at first, but it would be neutral and peaceful.
However, Xiaojiu and Shisan were able to enter the realm of Yuanhua with the help of the Taoist magic medicine Wuji Dan.
Especially Xiao Jiu, her martial arts talent is extremely high, even higher than that of Zhou Zhiruo. Yang Qingyuan even passed down her proud swordsmanship and lightness skills.
That's why she was able to sneak in without the factory guards noticing.
And the move that Xiaojiu used to instantly kill the third gear head just now was Yang Qingyuan's famous stunt - Pegasus Waterfall.
"Sister-in-law, Thirteen has subdued the guard at the side door. The carriage is just outside the house. Come with us!"
Princess Chu hesitated for a moment, she didn't want Xiaojiu and Shisan to be implicated by her.
"But you...!"
Xiaojiu didn't understand Princess Chu's nonsense and kept calling her out. This princess's sister-in-law was still a bit pedantic. Xiaojiu didn't have time to convince her and take her away first.
Then Xiaojiu stole the humiliated body of a maid from outside and placed all Princess Chu's accessories on her body.
After arranging everything, Xiaojiu set a fire in the attic and headed towards the side door.
Just when Xichang was inspecting the palace, Yuhuatian also arrived.
As soon as he arrived, he saw thick smoke rising from the attic, but just as he was about to rush to the attic, someone suddenly shouted at the side door.
"Come quickly! There's a traitor on the run!"
This shout alerted the people who had just arrived at Yuhuatian. He didn't care about the fire, and immediately used Qinggong to rush towards the side door.
When Yuhuatian arrived, he saw people from Xichang lying on the ground.
At this time, Princess Chu had been taken away by the carriage that had been waiting for a long time. However, Xiao Jiu was also discovered by the second stall driver of the West Factory. In order for the carriage to leave, Xiao Jiu had no choice but to stay and deal with the people in the West Factory to delay time.
Xichang's second gear driver's martial arts skills were not as good as those of the third gear driver, but Xiaojiu didn't have the advantage of a sneak attack. Although he could beat him, he couldn't achieve the instant kill like just now.
Just as the two were entangled, Yuhuatian arrived.
As the factory supervisor of the West Factory, he does not want to save face like Cao Zhengchun. He is a pragmatist.
As if he didn't care about the morality of the world, he directly hit Xiao Jiu with a palm.
Faced with a sudden attack by a master of the Dongxuan Realm, Xiaojiu couldn't help but panic.
Although she has excellent martial arts talent, she has no experience in facing enemies and can no longer hide her martial arts skills.
The soft sword in the palm turned, the Luoxia Liuzhu Sword!
The setting clouds and the solitary owl fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky!
This is the water element sword technique among Yang Qingyuan's Five Elements Taoist Swordsmanship. It absorbs the essence of Wudang sword technique, cuts out the complex and simplifies it, and captures the true meaning of water.
Water is good for all things and does not fight for it. It is a place where everyone dislikes it.
Because I don’t have the slightest intention to argue, so it’s useless for you to argue!
This is Yang Qingyuan's proud work. Although Xiao Jiu is only a small success, it is not a trivial achievement.
This sword actually blocked 70% of the power of Yu Huatian's attack.
However, the remaining 30% was enough for Xiao Jiu to endure, but he had already beaten Xiao Jiu until his mouth was bleeding, and his figure flew out upside down.
Seeing this, Yu Huatian took a long knife from Yi Yi's hand, and then moved the real energy in his palm. The long knife was shattered into countless pieces by the real energy, and then he shot towards Xiao Jiu without any mercy.
When Xiaojiu saw this scene, he closed his eyes in despair. He didn't expect his luck to be so bad, but he bumped into Yu Huatian, the director of the West Factory, a veteran Dongxuan master.
But whether she fights or runs, she can't be Yu Huatian's opponent, she can only wait for death!
Just when the fragments were approaching within one foot of Xiao Jiu, a bone-chilling sword intent appeared out of thin air.
It's as cold as Guanghan and as suspended as the bright moon.
The person who came with a sword shot not only cut all the steel sword fragments issued by Yu Huatian into powder, but also used the sword energy to pierce the throat of the second gear driver of Xichang next to Yu Huatian.
Immediately, the figure of the coming person flashed, and he walked away holding Xiao Jiu.
"Chase!"
When the people in the West Factory saw this, they wanted to chase him out, but were stopped by Yuhuatian.
"What are you chasing?! What are you chasing after!? This person's Qinggong is much higher than mine, how can you catch him?! A bunch of losers!"
After saying that, Yuhuatian walked towards the palace of Prince Chu without looking back.
On the side, Yu Huatian's personal followers immediately said to the guards of the West Factory, "The Governor is already very angry. You should go and count how many people have escaped. Then report them immediately!"
Then he followed Yuhuatian.
Because of the delay at the side door, the attic that was originally on fire was already in flames.
When the fire was extinguished, only two charred corpses were found among them. They should be from the third stall of the West Factory. Next to the other charred corpse, Princess Chu's jade pendant, jade bracelet, and melted Gold and silver, Xichang determined that this was the body of Princess Chu.
During the subsequent screening, the leader in charge discovered that a maid was missing.
But thinking of Yu Huatian's cold expression just now, he did not choose to touch Yu Huatian's bad luck. He just escaped with a maid, and the remaining important people were all there. It was no big deal, so he didn't report it to the police! The factory owner is angry again, so why should he seek punishment himself? ?
…
-------------------
"Why are you so bold?!"
Xiaojiu was being trained at the moment, and the person standing in front of her was Liyue Sword Immortal Liu Wangshu.
Originally, Liu Wangshu was supposed to be protecting Yang Qingyuan at Tianmaji in the north, but urgent news from Dali Temple forced Liu Wangshu and Ye Jianhan to rush back early to stabilize the overall situation.
Just before Shisan and Xiaojiu acted, they sent someone to notify Liu Wangshu.
"Today, if I hadn't arrived in time, let alone your little face, your life might not have been saved!"
Liu Wangshu was very angry. Xiaojiu and Shisan were both Yang Qingyuan's disciples. Rounding them off, they were also her disciples. How could they be so reckless? !
Xiaojiu glanced at Liu Wangshu secretly, then pulled the corner of Liu Wangshu's clothes, "Sister Wangshu! I was wrong!"
Liu Wangshu glanced at Xiaojiu, not sincere at all.
When Xiaojiu saw Liu Wangshu looking like this, he knew that it would be difficult to get through today easily, and he had to use his ultimate move!
"Sister Wangshu! I know I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again next time!"
"..."
Liu Wangshu did not answer. Although his jade appearance did not change at all, as if he was banished to an immortal by the Nine Heavens, his heart could no longer hold back any longer.
She is inherently cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
Xiaojiu is a child after all, and he is so sincere in admitting his mistake...
Otherwise... just forgive her this time!
"Well! Who can make mistakes without being a sage? Forget it this time, it won't be the same next time!" Liu Wangshu was about to turn into a steam girl in his heart.
"I knew that Master Wangshu was the best!"
"..."
…
------------------
At the same time that Xichang was moving, Zhao Zheng also moved.
He had already received the news about Hanyuan Hall, and also knew that Yu Yanyi was kneeling outside Hanyuan Hall with his ministers, asking the new king to take back his orders.
But he had already anticipated the outcome, and with that vicious man's methods, he was determined not to let King Chu go.
Now Xichang has gone to inspect the palace, and factory director Yu Huatian is not in Tianlao either. This is his best chance to save people.
