Chapter 157: Chaos
Zhiming Hou Mansion is as peaceful as usual. No matter the storm outside, it will always be a peaceful place. Ning Chen does not allow any conspiracy to disturb the Hou Mansion, especially the backyard.
There is not much left before the one-month period given by Prince Yan. Fortunately, the chess pieces that should be clothed are almost the same, and it is time to be finalized.
This battle for the throne between the two kings was actually a farce. The manipulated person was Fan Lingyue, and the person watching the show was Fan Lingyue. He was powerless to stop him and could only end it with the minimum cost.
The same thing is said, whoever becomes the emperor has nothing to do with him.
"Marty, Eunuch Pei sent a letter." Outside the study room, a low voice sounded.
"Send in" Ning Chen said calmly.
"yes"
As the words fell, the letter paper turned into a stream of light and flew in, but the person had not entered, and he was still waiting in front of the door.
Ning Chen took the letter and after reading it, he said lightly, "Okay, go back, Eunuch Pei, don't be staring at me."
"Yes" the black shadow left and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Mr. Xiyu seems to be very considerate of him and he must die to be at ease.
The night is intoxicating, and the lights in the study are still there, but people have disappeared.
In the Daxia Palace, a black shadow broke in under the night, and the patrolling imperial guards walked by in groups of patrolling, but no abnormality was found.
In Weiyang Palace, Qing Ning, who had been resting for a day after a tired day, suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, and said alertly, "Who!"
"It's me" Ning Chen spoke, then flashed in, and took off the ghost face.
"Why are you here at this time?" Qingning leaned her back on the bed in her thin pajamas and covered it with a quilt, and said helplessly.
This kid really doesn't know how to write about whether a man or a woman teaches or not. How could he break into a woman's room in the middle of the night?
"I can't get in during the day," Ning Chen said honestly.
"If you have something to do, why do you come to me?" Qingning said angrily.
"It's too late, it's inconvenient," Ning Chen said embarrassedly.
"..." Qingning wanted to beat someone up.
Taking a few deep breaths, Qingning suppressed the impulse in her body and said, "What you asked the Empress to do, the Empress has done, but neither the Empress nor I figured out what you were planning and why we had to make the illusion of letting the Tenth Prince ascend the throne."
"This is not an illusion"
When talking about the serious matter, Ning Chen looked solemn and said slowly.
Qingning was stunned when she heard this and didn't react. What's going on?
"If I don't force the tenth prince into a desperate situation, Mr. Xiyu will remain silent. Only a dog that doesn't bark bites people. I don't want to be bitten hard at the last moment," Ning Chen said calmly.
"You mean, Mr. Xiyu didn't really assist the tenth prince in his sincere way?" Qingning heard the unspoken voice and said with a pretty face.
"I used to be just suspicious, but now I can confirm it," Ning Chen said seriously.
"By the way, the third prince already has the idea of raising an army to force the palace, and may take action soon."
"This is a rebellion!" Qingning's face changed and she said angrily.
Ning Chen smiled and did not respond. Since ancient times, he was not surprised that the third prince would choose this path.
The third prince likes to make a big difference by using small things. Moreover, this time, in the case of sudden attacks, the probability of success is much higher than expected.
"It's still wrong. The third prince does not have enough troops, and the four city gates are not under his control. Even if you can transfer troops, you can't get in." Qingning found out that something was wrong and shook her head.
"Nangong Hou is his man," Ning Chen chuckled.
Qingning was shocked, how could this be possible? When the third prince was appointed as king, Nangong Hou even objected. It was no secret that the two had a dispute. No one would believe that Nangong Hou would be the third prince.
"I'm leaving. If the third prince really wants to force the palace, I will deliver the letter in advance." After the words, Ning Chen took the ghost face and stood up and wanted to leave.
"How did you gain the trust of the third prince?" Qingning reacted and asked hurriedly.
"Oh"
Ning Chen laughed calmly, then his feet moved and disappeared in an instant.
Hearing this faint laughter, for some reason, a sense of inexplicable ominousness arose in Qingning's heart.
Everyone has set their sights on the Empress's side during these days, but the real source is that Taishigong suddenly changed his mind. Everyone in the world thought it was because of the news that Xiyu Gong was so innocent that he colluded with the false third prince in Beimeng, but they did not know that the real evidence had been sent to Taishigong before.
Too aware of the public is just cooperating in a play.
The key to the whole thing is how Ning Chen gained the trust of the third prince.
No one can know if he doesn't say it.
Ning Chen returned to the Marquis' Mansion and looked at the Marquis' uniform that he had not worn since he was appointed as a marquis. On the stone-green robe, nine five-clawed python patterns were embroidered, symbolizing the noble identity of a high-ranking minister.
It's finally time to wear this court suit.
On the second day, the third prince sent his confidant to send news and ordered him to go to the outside of the imperial city three days later to mobilize troops in Luohe and the two cities of Luohe.
Both cities belong to the Imperial City's acropolis, and the combined force is only 100,000. The distance from the Imperial City is not far, and a night is enough.
The Divine Wind, Rain, and the Third Battalion of Purple Lightning were as calm as before, but the Grand Commander of the Third Battalion had a lot more worries in his eyes.
Forced to palace means rebellion, which is a serious crime to kill the nine clans. Although the plan seems to be flawless, they still cannot help but worry.
On the fourth day, Xia Ziyi ordered someone to send the Mo Jian. Ning Chen looked at the sword that had accompanied him through the wind and rain for half a year, and sighed in his heart that it had caught up with this battle.
On the fifth and last day, Ning Chen went to see Xia Yanwu.
Xia Yanwu was standing in front of the lobby of the palace, his eyes were blocked, looking at the direction of the palace, and his eyes flashed with heat and arrogance, "Marquis Zhiming, at dawn tomorrow, there will be a new master on the dragon throne of the Tianyu Hall."
"Yes, it's time to end," Ning Chen sighed and said.
Ning Chen left, going to seek fame, Luo He dispatched troops, and at the same time, a green figure walked out from Weiyang Palace and left.
A hundred miles outside the city, the two met and then headed south together.
After seeing Ning Chen and Wuhou’s military talismans, the lords of the city of the two cities immediately knelt down and greeted the Marquis of Wu.
When the sun sets, the army sets out, rushing towards the imperial city in the north.
"You stay with the military talisman. If you find any abnormal movement, you will be killed without mercy." Ning Chen handed the military talisman in his hand to Qing Ning, deliberately or unintentionally glanced at the three generals in front of him, and did not deliberately lower his voice, and said slowly.
"Yeah" Qingning nodded and responded.
The three generals were sweating coldly behind their backs. This Marquis of Knowing the Destiny was indeed as cruel and ruthless as the legendary ones, without any emotion.
The next moment, Ning Chen's figure flashed, turned into a stream of light and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The imperial city, the divine wind was coming out, and the city was frightened. The rapid rain and purple lightning camps followed and quickly controlled the entire imperial city.
The soldiers of the four thousand soldiers of the Rain Camp surrounded the tenth prince's mansion and were ready to invade them at any time.
Outside the Haowu Palace, there were also soldiers from the Zidian Camp surrounded, and the water was blocked.
At this moment, all the people in the imperial city who held military power were unable to move forward and were trapped in the mansion.
Hearing the big news outside, the gate of the palace was closed immediately and he made a defensive attitude.
"you!"
In Weiyang Palace, an imperial guard leader blocked Changsun's way out of the palace and refused to give in at all.
"My Lady, please forgive me. The Marquis said that you should not have any accidents in your safety. Let the last general stop you no matter what," said the leader of the imperial guards respectfully.
This was the leader of the imperial guard who had returned alive from the Buddha Kingdom in the past. After seeing the Dragon Guard military talisman in Ning Chen's hand, he took on this task without hesitation.
In the world, if anyone still trusts Ning Chen completely, there are only those soldiers who witnessed the fierce battle in the Buddha Kingdom in the past.
It was not surprising that the third prince rebelled, but their marquis was absolutely impossible.
In front of Tianyu Hall, Ning Chen returned with a sword and walked step by step to the top of the stone steps.
The Nine Thousand Dragon Guards knelt on the ground, kneeling on the Wuhou, and the supreme Dragon Guards talisman.
There is a gap between the imperial guards and the imperial guards. If the 30,000 Dragon Guards are the elites of the imperial guards of the Great Xia, then the nine thousand soldiers in front of them are the elites among the elites.
"Persistence" Ning Chen stood in front of Tianyu Hall and said only two words.
Outside the Chuwu Gate, the closed palace gate blocked the way forward of the Shenfeng Camp. The inner responders who had originally set up had no movement at all.
Xia Yanwu's expression gradually became heavier, and he realized something was wrong.
In the imperial city, the tenth prince who should have been in the mansion unexpectedly appeared and led the two battalions of Qingque and White Tiger to surround the Jiyu Camp. On the other side, Xia Ziyi appeared and surrounded the Zidian Camp with the two battalions in his hand. Nangong Hou, who noticed something was wrong, wanted to lead the army to provide assistance, but was blocked by Duke Xiyu and Old Eunuch Pei.
The Red Guards, Qing Guards and Blue Guards of Tailisi all came out and stood behind Xiyu Duke, with nearly ten thousand.
Taili Si is still the Taili Si of Xiyu Gong, and the officials in the world still have absolute control.
The Nangong Hou was unable to move, so he did not dare to act rashly. He was not afraid of the three-colored yarn guard of Tailisi, but was afraid of the old man around Taishi Gong.
The rebellion in the imperial city was soon under control, and bad news came to Xia Yanwu's ears, making the third prince of Daxia look even more and more ugly. Now, if he didn't know that he was plotted, he would be a fool.
But who is betraying him!
Figures flashed through Xia Yanwu's mind, but when it was Ning Chen, he paused for a moment, and after thinking about it, he shook his head again. It was impossible that it was him.
The night wind was blowing, and it was a little cool. Xia Yanwu glanced at the south and said in a low voice:
"Stand by the way, as long as we wait until the army comes, we still have a chance."
"You have no chance!"
Xia Ziyi walked over in purple, her black hair flew in the wind, and her Mid-Autumn Water Sword dripped with red blood. The three generals followed closely and did not dare to cross the slightest.
"There are those who resist, and they will be killed without mercy!"
"yes"
The order was issued and rushed straight into the sky. The 20,000 Dragon Guards and 30,000 Xuanwu Army, who had been ready to go, were dispatched together when they heard the news. The flags were flying and surrounded the Shenfeng Camp.
"Boom"
The Wumen Gate opened, and the nine thousand most elite Dragon Guards appeared. The people in the front were wearing a stone-blue Nine Python Martial Martial Arts Robe, flew in the wind.
Chapter completed!
