Before meeting with the third prince, Sun Mo first met with Gu Xiuxun and Jin Mujie.
The two of them traveled for over a month before they arrived at Jiang Province and found Sun Mo.
"Get us something to eat first!"
Gu Xiuxun sighed. "It's been too difficult for me on this journey!"
In ancient times, there were many troubles when women went out, let alone in Jiang Province where the order had been broken. If it wasn't for the fact that Gu Xiuxun and Jin Mujie had martial techniques, they would have been captured and taken away as wives.
"Only now do I know how difficult it is to stand out without the status of a great teacher!"
Jin Mujie bitterly smiled.
The Jing Country in this game was a feudal society. Women would stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. Those who appeared in public were mostly prostitutes.
After Gu Xiuxun and Jin Mujie entered the game, they didn't know how to clear the game. However, they were just ordinary girls from a farming family and had no way to advance.
"My in-game parents actually wanted me to marry a blacksmith. In a fit of anger, I ran away from the marriage!"
Gu Xiuxun was very angry. "I'm a woman who can become the prime minister!"
"Sir, these two are..."
Mother Mei came over. When she saw Sun Mo chatting happily with the two beautiful women, she suddenly felt very worried.
"My friends!"
Sun Mo explained, "Help me take care of them!"
"Who is this?"
Gu Xiuxun used her elbow to nudge Sun Mo.
"Wife!"
Sun Mo shrugged.
"Huh?"
Gu Xiuxun was astonished. After that, she felt very angry. (What right do you have to be a successful person and have a beautiful wife?
This isn't fair!)
...
Seven days later, Sun Mo met with the third prince.
"Let me do the talking. If you get caught, we'll be a group of dragons without a leader."
Gu Xiuxun was very worried.
During these few days, she had tried to be a leader and lead a batch of Red Scarf Army. However, because she was a woman, they looked down on her from the bottom of their hearts.
If Sun Mo died, this volunteer army would definitely fall apart.
"Don't worry, I have a backup plan!"
Sun Mo had long since arranged for a group of people to infiltrate Zhang County. That was the hometown of the current prime minister, and his clansmen were there. If the third prince acted recklessly, he wouldn't be polite anymore.
If the Third Prince wanted to fight for the throne, he could not do so without the support of the Prime Minister. If the Prime Minister's clansmen died because he failed to suppress the bandits, it would be strange if the Prime Minister did not hate him.
Not long after, the two parties met.
The Third Prince was very courageous and only brought one advisor.
When he saw that Sun Mo was actually so young, his heart was filled with admiration. He reprimanded Grand Preceptor Pang for not disciplining his student well, causing a pillar of the country to fall from grace and become a bandit. At the same time, he sent out an invitation.
"Originally, the imperial court did not intend to give you so many official positions. However, as long as you are willing to surrender, I will do my best to help you fight for it and give your brothers a good future."
The Third Prince was courteous.
This kind of negotiation would definitely not be completed in one day.
Late at night, the third prince went to rest. As for that advisor, he came to look for Sun Mo.
"We meet again, Teacher Sun!"
The moment the advisor spoke, Sun Mo was shocked. From his tone, it was clear that he was a player from the Nine Provinces.
"You are..."
Sun Mo thought of the mysterious person he had met in the Stone Age. Their accent was the same.
"The condition to clear this stage should be to change the dynasty, right?"
The advisor took a sip of tea. "When I first entered the game, I also considered your proposal but rejected it. It's because it's not the time for the Great Jing Country to perish yet. It's too slow to enter the imperial court through the imperial examination and eventually gain power. Therefore, I chose to become the advisor of the Third Prince. As long as I help him succeed in seizing the throne, I will have great authority."
"I'm impressed!"
Sun Mo wasn't saying these polite words.
Not everyone could become the advisor of a prince. Sun Mo had also thought of this plan, but given his standard, it was better not to embarrass himself. "It's too difficult.
Getting rid of the elders and appointing the young is a great taboo for a country! "
The advisor sighed. The Third Prince originally didn't want to fight for the throne. He was the one who urged him to do so. As for why he didn't join the First Prince?
The First Prince was already the Crown Prince and wouldn't care too much about an advisor, even if he was really overflowing with talent. This was because when one reached the Crown Prince's position, the angle of looking at problems was already different.
"I've guessed your thoughts before. After accepting the imperial edict, you might go to the north to resist the foreign tribes and rely on military merits to gain a foothold in the imperial court. Of course, if you're more shameless, you might just join the foreign tribes and head south to destroy the Great Jing Country."
The advisor smiled and stared at Sun Mo's eyes. "But I feel that you definitely have other ideas. After all, these two paths are too mediocre."
"That's right, I want to kill the Emperor!"
Sun Mo smiled.
"What?"
The advisor was shocked, thinking that he had heard wrongly. It wasn't until Sun Mo repeated himself that he couldn't help but say, "Are you crazy?"
"Who knows if this game has a time limit? I don't have the patience to wait for over ten years!"
Sun Mo's lips twitched. "I want to choose a prince and help him seize the throne. What I want him to do is to hope that after I kill the Emperor, he can reap the fruits of victory. It would be even better if he can protect my life."
"It's very difficult!"
The advisor frowned.
"Don't I already have you?"
Sun Mo's original plan was to take things one step at a time. Now that he had the assistance of this mysterious person, things would naturally be stable.
The two of them discussed for an entire night and came up with a detailed plan.
When the third prince knew what Sun Mo wanted to do, he was so scared that he almost peed his pants. He instinctively wanted to draw his sword and slash Sun Mo to death.
However, he was stopped by the advisor. After analyzing the pros and cons, his heart started to stir.
"You didn't commit patricide. Sun Mo was the one who killed the Emperor. You just have to splash the dirty water on the First Prince's identity and kill him before he can react."
The advisor guided patiently. "As long as we do it well, we can even let Sun Mo kill the First Prince."
"His martial arts..."
The third prince was worried.
"Don't worry about this. He doesn't need two slashes to kill!"
The advisor guaranteed.
The plan was set just like that. He would help Sun Mo get a chance to meet the Emperor. At the same time, he would try his best to bribe an imperial guard and pretend that he had lost his weapon in the throne room.
After all, killing someone empty-handed was too slow.
...
Under the control of this mysterious advisor, all the plans were carried out in full swing.
When the first snow of winter came, the Zhao Mountain bandits accepted the offer of amnesty. At the same time, Sun Mo, as the representative, had an audience with the Emperor to express his allegiance.
Before the sky brightened, Sun Mo got up and prepared to go out.
"Sir!"
Mei Niang was very worried. This was the first time Sun Mo was attending the imperial court.
"I'm sorry!"
Sun Mo touched Mei Niang's hair. "I'll do my best to leave you a large sum of money so that you won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
"I don't want anything. I just want to be with you!"
Mei Niang shook her head and hugged Sun Mo tightly.
"En!"
Sun Mo agreed, but he knew that this trip would probably be forever.
When the sky brightened, Sun Mo arrived at the royal palace and waited for the summons. When the sun was high up in the sky, a eunuch finally passed down a decree, summoning Sun Mo to the palace to meet the Emperor.
Five minutes later, Sun Mo stood in the great hall.
He was over 40 meters away from the Emperor. On both sides, there were over 100 civil and military officials, as well as well-equipped imperial guards.
"How dare you! Why aren't you kneeling after meeting the Emperor?"
A eunuch roared.
"I wish to ask Your Majesty, do you really not know about the actions of a pest like Grand Preceptor Pang?"
Sun Mo asked casually in order to divert everyone's attention.
As expected, when Grand Preceptor Pang's political enemies heard this, they immediately fell silent, looking like they were waiting to watch a good show.
"How dare you! Kneel down and speak!"
An imperial guard berated. He quickly walked out, wanting to force Sun Mo to kneel.
Some generals frowned. Without the Emperor's orders, the imperial guards weren't allowed to leave their posts. However, it didn't seem to be a problem when facing a bandit chieftain.
However, just when the Imperial Guard walked up to Sun Mo and was preparing to kick his knees to make him kneel, Sun Mo suddenly erupted. A pushing hand smashed into the Imperial Guard's face, pushing him away. Sun Mo took the opportunity to pull out the Imperial Guard's sword and then lunged toward the emperor in the throne room.
Hua!
In an instant, the entire imperial court was in chaos.
"Protect His Majesty!"
The imperial guard pounced toward Sun Mo, not fearing death.
Sun Mo also went all out. In order to get close to the Emperor with the fastest speed, he didn't even bother dodging some non-fatal attacks.
The third prince clenched his fists tightly, praying that Sun Mo would succeed.
Some generals pounced toward Sun Mo, while others went to protect the Emperor.
Sun Mo chopped off one imperial guard with each slash, causing heads to roll and corpses to fall. However, the distance of 40 meters was like a heavenly moat.
When the Emperor saw that the situation wasn't good, he immediately planned to leave.
"It's over, I've thought of things too simply!"
Although Sun Mo could fight, in this game, he was only a person with an ordinary body condition. When faced with these imperial guards, he had no way to quickly clear the battlefield.
When the Emperor saw that Sun Mo couldn't rush over, he pushed the eunuch in front of him away and shouted at Sun Mo, "Capture him alive! I want to execute him by dismembering him... AHHH!"
In the end, the Emperor's voice suddenly turned into a scream of agony.
Everyone jumped in fright and turned their heads to look. They discovered that the Emperor's neck had opened up and he was spurting out blood.
Beside him stood a civil official.
It was him who had gotten close to the Emperor in the name of protecting him during the chaos. After that, he used a blade hidden under his tongue to slice open the Emperor's throat.
"Sun Mo, this time around, I've won!"
The civil official's voice changed. It was a female's voice.
"Who are you?"
Sun Mo frowned.
"Dark great teacher!"
After the civil official spoke, he snatched a steel blade from the hands of the imperial guard who was rushing over and started to kill! "Do you want to compete and see who can escape first?"
"I'm not in the mood!"
Sun Mo was convinced. First, there was a mysterious person. This time around, a female dark great teacher had appeared. The security of the Black-White Academy was practically useless.
Of course, there was another possibility. This female dark great teacher was too powerful. She was definitely at the level of the five doyens or the seven Starlords. They wouldn't be able to guard against her even if they wanted to.
It was impossible for them to escape from the royal palace. This was especially so when the imperial guards were fighting with their lives on the line. After all, the Emperor was dead. If they couldn't capture the murderer, their entire clan would be annihilated.
Luckily, the third prince was a man of his word. In any case, he spared the lives of Sun Mo and the civil official.
When the two of them were locked up in the prison, they had no idea about the situation outside.
Sun Mo stayed here for a total of three months. When the flowers bloomed in spring, his advisor used a death convict to replace him with someone else.
"It's a success. The third prince has ascended to the throne!"
The expression of the advisor was filled with endless fatigue.
In order to let the third prince sit on the throne stably, he had put in a lot of effort and killed many people. As his abilities were too outstanding, he had won the third prince's absolute trust.
"I'll have to depend on you next!"
Sun Mo felt that this person wasn't bad. After all, according to their factions, they were enemies. The best choice was for the other party to kill him and take the spoils of war for himself.
"Mn!"
The advisor nodded and couldn't help but invite, "Do you want to join the Dark Dawn?"
"What's your request?"
Sun Mo was curious.
"This world is being toyed with by a mysterious force. I want to kill them!"
The advisor's answer surprised Sun Mo.
"Mysterious force? Even more mysterious than your Dark Dawn? "
"I can't say much because they might exist anywhere!"
The advisor lifted his head and looked at the sky. "It's highly possible that they are the designers of this game!"
"..."
Sun Mo frowned.
"I'm not in a hurry. You can consider it properly!"
The advisor patted Sun Mo's shoulder.
Sun Mo left. In the secret room, only the civil official and advisor were left.
"What are you doing?"
The advisor frowned.
"Group leader!"
The civil official lowered his head, feeling a little terrified. "You know that I'm very interested in these strange things. Hence, I infiltrated the Black-White Academy, wanting to figure out the profoundness of this astrolabe."
"Be careful. Sun Mo is very smart!"
The advisor reminded him. He was the group leader of the Dark Dawn, the Dawn Sovereign. Under the disguise of this civil official was the Yin Yang Child.
Just when the Dawn Sovereign was ready to go all out and assist the third prince, a voice suddenly rang out.
"The second game has ended. A new round will begin in ten seconds. Please continue to work hard!"
Ten!
Nine!
...
Time was too tight. Sun Mo, who had walked out of his hiding place, didn't have the time to return home and bid farewell to Mother Mei.
When Sun Mo's vision turned black and lit up again, his surroundings had completely changed.
The neon lights flashed, the steel buildings stood in great numbers, the hawkers by the streets, and the women in cool summer clothes. This made Sun Mo feel that everything he had experienced before was a dream.
But now, it was reality.
"Am I hallucinating due to heat exhaustion? I'm a teacher, why would I go to ancient times to become a great teacher? "
Sun Mo lowered his head and saw that he was wearing slippers, shorts, and a singlet. He suddenly felt very at ease. He subconsciously touched his pocket, wanting to buy a bottle of cola.
"Sun Mo!"
"Teacher!"
As the voice rang out, Sun Mo lifted his head in astonishment. He saw An Xinhui, Li Ziqi, and Lu Zhiruo.
They were standing by the roadside in a daze, not knowing what to do as they looked at everything.
The men who passed by kept sneaking glances at them. Even if they walked for a distance, they would still turn their heads to take a look. There was no helping it. The three of them were simply too beautiful.
This was especially so for Lu Zhiruo. The big papaya on her chest was simply a symbol of justice.
After the three of them got closer, Sun Mo rubbed the head of the lucky mascot.
"Come, I'll bring you guys to eat skewers!"
(I'm familiar with this world!
And those little movies, I'm back!)
