"Xue, don't talk nonsense here. Not long ago, my father said that he would make me the crown prince after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
After Nan Qi finished speaking, two ministers who supported him also stood up to help him speak.
"The emperor did say this. We were both present at the time. There is no way he could have lied."
At the same time, Nan Rui has ordered the private soldiers he brought to be ready to take action at all times.
Prime Minister Xue was no exception. The whereabouts of the emperor in the palace were unknown, and it was impossible to ask him about the whereabouts of the jade seal.
Now that they have controlled the court for a long time, for fear of changes, he can only break the pot and take over the power completely.
Now that we have a choice, we can no longer keep the two princes in front of us.
Almost at the same time as Nan Rui, Prime Minister Xue waved his hand towards the team behind him, indicating that they were ready to fight.
When Mo Jiuye saw Prime Minister Xue, he immediately remembered the nasty things he had done to the Mo family, and the anger in his heart burned uncontrollably.
He Zhiran also felt the same way, and she gently pushed Mo Jiuye's arm.
"Husband, this person will be dealt with today."
The location of the two of them was at a high place, and the distance from Prime Minister Xue was a bit far, at least five hundred meters by visual inspection.
At such a distance, if you want to kill him in one shot, the best weapon is a sniper rifle.
Just as He Zhiran took out the sniper rifle from the space, Mo Jiuye took it over.
"Ranran, let me come."
He Zhiran could hear that there was no warmth in Mo Jiuye's tone at this time, and there was even a chill in his body, which showed that he hated Prime Minister Xue to the extreme.
In fact, He Zhiran didn't intend to let Mo Jiuye take action. After all, she was more skilled in using the sniper rifle.
After all, this kind of assassination operation has only one chance, whether it is modern or ancient.
Moreover, the noise of the sniper rifle is very loud. After firing, everyone will definitely be alerted to look in their direction.
Therefore, no matter whether the assassination of Prime Minister Xue is successful or not, He Zhiran plans to hide in the space with Mo Jiuye after it is over, and come out at a safer time.
"Husband, you..." Can this be done?
Before He Zhiran finished her questioning words, Mo Jiuye cast a firm look at her.
"Old Thief Xue has an sworn feud with my Mo family, and I must take care of his fate."
What's more, in Mo Jiuye's heart, his daughter-in-law is just a petite daughter of the family, and is not suitable for such a life of fighting and killing.
Of course, there had been things that could only be blamed on his incompetence as a husband.
He Zhiran thought about what the Xue family did to the Mo family, and he really wouldn't be willing to do it if Mo Jiuye didn't do it himself.
"Okay, don't be nervous. Use the sight to determine the position before shooting."
In fact, He Zhiran still underestimated Mo Jiuye's enthusiasm for these weapons.
In the past, when he was playing with a sniper rifle in space, what he would often do was aim at something with the sight, and then pretend to pull the trigger.
When she finished speaking, the sniper rifle in Mo Jiuye's hand was already aimed at Prime Minister Xue's eyebrows.
A deafening gunshot indeed attracted everyone's attention.
Of course, the attention quickly shifted from the source of the sound to Prime Minister Xue, who had a bloody hole between his eyebrows.
He Zhiran also pulled Mo Jiuye into the space before being discovered.
Prime Minister Xue died suddenly, and there was chaos in front of the palace.
Nan Yu first guessed that this matter was closely related to Mo Jiuye and his wife.
After silently thanking him in his heart, he said to Nan Qi and Nan Rui: "Prime Minister Xue is dead. It is a good time to attack the palace."
There can't be only a few thousand people brought by Prime Minister Xue in the palace. After all, the queen also needs many people to help her find the whereabouts of the emperor.
Both Nan Qi and Nan Rui are aware of this.
Nan Qi thought about the situation where we were outnumbered and the enemy was outnumbered. Although he knew that what Nan Yu said was reasonable, he still did not dare to attack rashly.
This was not the case with Nan Rui. Nan Yu did not hide his identity from him, and naturally he would not hide the fact that Emperor Shun Wu gave him a token to mobilize troops into the city.
Therefore, in Nan Rui's mind, they were fully confident in this operation.
Besides, Mo Jiuye had already sent a signal to Nan Yu, and the army of 20,000 people would arrive soon.
Nan Rui ordered his people to rush into the palace without any hesitation.
Nan Qi hesitated again and again, seeing that Nan Rui, who was usually countless times more cowardly than him, took action. If he chose to wait and see again, he would probably be laughed at.
For this reason, he could only bite the bullet and order his men to join the battle.
Prime Minister Xue's sudden death caused his men to fall into a brief panic.
However, they were soon brought back from their thoughts by the other party's killing cry.
The minds of several generals who had defected to the Xue family's camp were racing at the moment. Although Prime Minister Xue was dead, the Queen and the Fourth Prince were still there.
They have witnessed so many things done by the Emperor and his party.
Moreover, there are still many troops in the palace, and the two or three thousand people brought by the two princes in front of them are not worth mentioning.
After thinking about it, several people communicated with each other and directed their men to rush forward.
"Kill them all to avenge the Prime Minister."
News of Prime Minister Xue's death soon reached the Queen's ears. When she heard that her father was dead, the Queen not only showed no concern, but even showed a sinister smile.
At this moment, a person walked out from behind the screen.
If Mo Jiuye saw this person, he would definitely be shocked.
Because this person is Prime Minister Xue.
And he had just shot the scapegoat found by Prime Minister Xue with a sniper rifle shot in the head.
It can only be said that Prime Minister Xue is really cunning and scheming at every step.
He thought that after taking control of the emperor, many people would think that the matter was related to him. If anyone without a long-sighted idea of finding the whereabouts of the emperor came to him, then his life would definitely be in danger.
Therefore, the person who went to confront the Nanyu brothers at the city gate today was his substitute.
That's it, the old fox temporarily saved his life.
When the queen saw Prime Minister Xue coming out, she asked, "Father, it seems that they have really begun to murder you. What should we do next?"
"Now that things have reached this point, we have no way out. As long as we capture Nan Qi and Nan Rui together, we will have nothing to fear from doing things in the future." Prime Minister Xue said with a gloomy look on his face, talking about Nan Qi and Nan Rui At that time, they even regarded them as dead people.
The queen didn't take Nan Qi and Nan Rui seriously at all, but she never liked to be careless when doing things.
After receiving Prime Minister Xue's instructions, she immediately ordered all the soldiers in the palace to temporarily stop searching for Emperor Shun Wu's whereabouts, leaving some to protect her and Prime Minister Xue's safety, while the rest went to the palace gate to provide support.
Prime Minister Xue brought more people to the palace gate than Nan Rui and Nan Qi. At this time, after the two sides fought for a while, Nan Rui and Nan Qi's side clearly showed their weakness.
Immediately afterwards, the people sent by the queen to support arrived again. This situation immediately made Nan Qi think of escaping.
And that's exactly what he did.
"All my people must be withdrawn by me."
At this time, what Nan Qi was thinking was that the situation was over. If he still had someone in his hands, he would at least have a chance to protect his own life.
Nan Qi's people obeyed the order and prepared to retreat, but Nan Yu became anxious.
"Everyone, stop. If you leave at this time, all we have done today will be in vain."
"Fei Nanyu, is there something wrong with your brain? In such an obvious situation where we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered, do we have to stay here and wait to die if we don't run away?"
Nan Qi usually respected Nan Yu, but this was the first time he spoke to him with such an attitude.
At this point, how could Nan Yu let him take people away?
Just when he was about to say something to persuade Nan Qi to lead the people to stay, there was a rush of footsteps not far away.
