Crosstown.
There is a town not far from the Imperial Capital. It is very prosperous because it is located on a major transportation road, but now it is very deserted.
It's really deserted.
Normally, there would be an endless stream of businessmen coming from north to south, and many martial arts figures would take a break here. However, there are not many pedestrians on the street now.
At dusk, Yuelai Inn.
Jiang Ming and the others built a small courtyard in the back. This is a courtyard specially provided for merchants. It is very exquisite.
In the courtyard, three people sat facing the moon.
well……
Jin Captou sighed softly and frowned deeply: "I didn't expect so many things to happen in the Imperial Capital. I wonder how your highness is doing?"
"No one would have thought of it." Lu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head.
"Her methods are still a bit inferior!" Jiang Ming said while holding the teacup.
"What's the difference?" A figure jumped up and landed next to him, lifting his hood to reveal a delicate and tired face. It was none other than His Highness Feng Wu, Ninth Princess Yanfeng.
Underneath the fatigue, there is sadness and hatred that cannot be concealed.
There were still bloodstains on his body.
other's.
"Your Highness!" Jin Captou immediately stood up.
"You should cut through the mess quickly, kill the prince directly, and behead the other princes." Jiang Ming had sensed the other prince's aura a long time ago, and now said coldly, "The struggle for imperial power has been cruel since ancient times. Especially when your father is old and bedridden, the court When you are under the control of the prince, if you want to plan big things, you must be ruthless, ruthless, and decisive. But you, you only plan in secret, and when the critical moment comes, you still want to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. This is doomed to your end. This is not a private fight between rivers and lakes, let alone a child's play. At the last moment, everything is done openly and openly, forming a general trend. Once the general trend is established, it will be unstoppable."
The Ninth Princess sat down and was silent.
Regarding the changes in the Imperial Capital, Jiang Ming and others also received news in the past two days.
It's just that it's changing too fast.
The old emperor died suddenly, and the imperial edict passed on the throne to the prince. The second and third princes refused to accept it and spread rumors that the prince had plotted to murder the old emperor. They led troops to raid the palace, but were killed by the prince.
In addition, there were several princes who made a fuss, causing the imperial capital to be filled with smoke and blood.
Many people were involved.
There were countless casualties.
The second prince died in battle, the third prince died in battle, the sixth prince died in battle, and so on.
The sixth prince is also the biological brother of the ninth princess.
"What exactly happened? What's the secret? Did Wang Wudi take any action?" Lu Yuan asked.
Jiang Ming poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of the other party.
"For the defense of the imperial capital, there are four imperial camps stationed outside the city, each with 50,000 troops; there are eighteen gates in the imperial capital, each with a thousand city defense troops. There are six gates in the city, the Ministry of Punishment. There are feathers in the imperial city Lin Wei, there are imperial guards and secret guards in the palace. The prince controls the secret guards." The ninth princess took a sip from the tea cup and said in a low voice, "Because you are too powerful and make him feel that you are threatening his life. , in order to deal with you, we must use all our strength. So...we must integrate our forces."
She gritted her teeth, showing a look of hatred.
"He killed his father. Since the secret guard had already become his, he announced to the public that his father had died of illness."
The ninth princess showed hatred.
After all, that was her father.
After a moment of silence, she spoke slowly again.
In the imperial capital, many princes covet the throne and have been fighting to the death secretly.
The power to protect the imperial capital was almost divided among several princes. On the surface, the prince did not have much advantage at all, but in the end, he secretly bribed many of them.
When the old emperor passed away, the second and third princes, headed by them, prepared to liquidate the prince. As a result, a big battle broke out in the palace.
Almost all the forces in the Imperial Capital were involved.
The prince controls the Secret Guard composed of eunuchs, as well as the Shadow Secret Guard, the Imperial Guard, etc.
"In addition, Lengyue Palace also took action. I don't know when he became the prince's person." The Ninth Princess sighed, "One of the deputy commanders of the Six Gates was bribed by the prince and poisoned Commander Wang to make him a short-term There is no fighting power inside. I finally suppressed the six gates, integrated the strength and waited for the opportunity, but during this period, the emperor brother, he, he did not listen to the advice, secretly went to the palace to persuade peace, and was killed. "
She burst into tears.
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes vaguely.
The golden catcher seemed to be sighing.
Jiang Ming was speechless.
Isn’t this nonsense?
We were fighting to the death, and your sister kept running for you and plotting secretly, but you went to persuade her to make peace?
This is not naive, but stupid.
Adou who couldn't help him.
"It's not his fault." Ninth Princess whispered, "He has always thought about the harmony of his family, and that no matter how much we don't deal with each other, brothers are blood relatives after all. I have said it many times, many times, this is a life-or-death situation. ,But……"
Jiang Ming scratched his head and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
"Do you want revenge?"
"I still want to ascend to the throne and become the first queen in history!"
Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes.
The Ninth Princess suddenly raised her head.
Jin Captou looked shocked.
Lu Yuan was shocked.
"Two hundred thousand troops besieged the imperial capital, and the internal situation is almost settled. The prince's situation has been achieved." The Ninth Princess's eyes glowed, her heart was pounding, but she shook her head and said, "There are countless troops in the country, and the Northern Barbarians are also sure at this time. Watching with eager eyes."
"Just tell me whether you want it or not!" Jiang Ming said.
The Ninth Princess took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Her breath fluctuated violently, and finally condensed into one breath, and her momentum surged greatly.
She opened her eyes, there was no fatigue, no weakness, only blazing fire and ambition: "Think!"
"How much power do you still control?"
"Even if Brother Six is gone, I can still mobilize one Beijing camp, four city defense camps, and six gates that are temporarily under house arrest."
"There is still so much power!" Jiang Ming was surprised.
After all, she is a woman.
Originally, I thought that the power she controlled was all attached to the identity of the sixth prince, but now it seems that the ability of the ninth princess is really extraordinary.
"If there is a bloodbath in the court and a bloodbath in the capital and other camps, can you take control of it all?"
"Yes! There are people of mine in the capital camp. Although the official positions are not very high, it is not difficult to control them after the bloodbath. As for the civil servants? It's better. If they don't obey, they will be replaced. No, kill! The most difficult thing is the meritorious lineage. , there are clans, the royal family has a senate, and there are many strong people. Now in the palace, there are at least three great masters, more than thirty masters, countless innate talents, and the imperial guards and the imperial guards are all the elites of the elite. If, if it is true, Once we reach that point, the vassal kings outside may rebel, and the Northern Barbarians will definitely seize the opportunity to invade."
"These are all trivial matters!" Jiang Ming stood up and looked down at the other party with stern eyes. "The most important point is, are you willing to bear the infamy?"
Princess Ninth's breath was stagnant, and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly.
She was very smart and naturally knew what Jiang Ming meant. She took a deep breath and her eyes became firmer: "Yes!"
"But, can you really do it?" Ninth Princess' voice trembled slightly, "Can you really help me all the time? Without you, even if I succeed in the Imperial Capital, I will die miserably."
Jiang Ming smiled, looked up at the moon, and said calmly: "Brother Lu, with my help, has reached the level of a grand master, and it is not comparable to ordinary grand masters."
"Jin Baotou is already at the peak of a grandmaster. It will not be difficult to help her become a grandmaster in the future!"
"With your talent, I can help you achieve the position of Grand Master in a short period of time."
"Brother Lu, Jin Captou, you, plus Wang Wudi, even without me, you have four great masters here."
"With the four great masters and the great power of the court, nothing can be solved!"
"As for now?"
"Although Brother Lu is a great master, it's hard for him to kill me even if I stand still and don't activate the Gang Qi body protection!"
"Under the Dalin Temple, I can break through a thousand armors with one sword, but it wasn't all my strength at that time."
"Now, I can at least break through two thousand armors with one sword."
"The most important thing is that with one sword like that, I can easily cut a thousand swords without getting tired!"
"Do you think an army of 200,000 can stop me?"
"I can slaughter the entire imperial city!"
"Tell me, can I do it?"
Jiang Ming looked at each other.
