Shao Pingbo received the letter.
He sat by the table in the study and stared at the letter for a long time without saying a word.
Shao Sansheng tried to remind him, "Is Jia Wuqun plotting against Miss Liu 'er?"
If even he could see it, how could Shao Pingbo not? "He deliberately reminded the Ghost Doctor to care about Wuxin's disciple. Isn't it to remind me to start with Wuxin? And Wuxin cares about Liu 'er."
Shao Sansheng sighed, "That Jia Wuzi has a clear grasp of the situation. If he can control Miss, he can also control Wuxin. If he can control Wuxin, he might be able to control the Ghost Doctor. But this is no small matter. Would the Ghost Doctor dare to make a move against Yuan Se's confidant? "
Shao Pingbo, "How would I know? I know almost nothing about Yuan Se's situation. "
Shao Sansheng was puzzled, "If Jia Wuzi knows what to do, why did he ask for Eldest Young Master's help?"
Shao Pingbo, "Because Liu 'er is my younger sister. He asked me to do as I see fit. If I don't do it, he will. If I don't do it, once he makes a move, it will be hard to predict how much he will hurt Liu 'er. But if I do it, I will fall deeper and deeper. There's Lan Daolin in front of me and Yuan Se behind me … "
Shao Sansheng sighed, "What's the use of making a move against Yuan Se's confidant?"
Shao Pingbo, "It's nothing more than framing, sowing discord or inciting discord. It's either to cause trouble over there or to make use of Consort Yuan for something." He stood up, "I want to see Lan Ming and ask him about Yuan Se and Consort Yuan."
Shao Sansheng nodded, "This old servant will arrange it."
Shao Pingbo, "Also, Gu Yuanda's rebel army is about to attack Qi Capital. Pay more attention to Liu 'er's situation."
Shao Sansheng, "Eldest Young Master, rest assured. This old servant has specially informed Black Water Platform to avoid hurting Miss."
…
The rebel army finally reached the city and launched a fierce attack.
The people of the capital were in a state of panic. All the young and strong people were organized to help defend the city.
The city of Qi Capital was built to defend the capital of a country. It was thick and towering, which made it very resistant to attacks. In addition, it was prepared to deal with the rebel army. With a hundred thousand men and horses guarding the city, and the help of the three major sects of Qi Kingdom, the rebel army couldn't shake the city even after several strong attacks. Moreover, there were many casualties.
Gu Yuanda began to panic when he saw the situation. If he did not succeed, he would be in big trouble once the three hundred thousand reinforcements from the Qin and Qi armies arrived. The other cities weren't as sturdy as the Qi Capital's city walls. If they couldn't occupy this city, how could they defend against Huyan Wuhen's encirclement and annihilation army for a long time?
"Didn't you say that there are spies among the city guards? Why haven't there been any spies? "In the central tent, Gu Yuanda finally couldn't help but get angry at the entourage of the Black Water Platform.
He was very clear that the Qi Capital was rich in resources and manpower. Furthermore, there were a hundred thousand soldiers guarding the city. Without the cooperation of spies, it would be impossible for his three hundred thousand men and horses to conquer the city. Even a million men and horses might not be of any use. If they were to continue fighting like this, his 300,000 men would definitely perish here.
The Black Water Platform's personnel immediately put on a difficult face. "Great General, it's not that the spies are not cooperating. According to the news, the three major sects of the Qi Kingdom seem to have sensed something and have already made preparations in advance. Their control over the city gates is extremely strict. It will be very difficult for the spies to find an opportunity to strike. "
Gu Yuanda replied, "According to what you've said, should I wait for the spies to find an opportunity before attacking?"
The Black Water Platform's personnel repeatedly waved his hand. "No! If the men in the city don't move, it will be even more difficult for the spies to find an opportunity. The three major sects of the Qi Kingdom will defend the city to the death. Only when the men in the city start to move will the spies have an opportunity. Therefore, we still need the cooperation of the Great General's army! "
Gu Yuanda said in a deep voice, "Blindly attacking and cooperating is useless. We have to wait for them to come up with a feasible plan."
The Black Water Platform's personnel replied, "Rest assured, Great General. We have already formulated a feasible plan."
Huyan Wuhen's reminder finally had an effect. Under the high vigilance of the three major sects of the Qi Kingdom, the rebel army's plans for the spies were thwarted.
Within the Imperial Palace in the capital, Huyan Wei practically never took off his armor. With the assistance of his household generals, he strictly controlled the Imperial Guards and guarded the safety of the Imperial Palace.
As soon as the sounds of the siege sounded, Huyan Wei immediately climbed up the walls of the Imperial Palace. He gazed in the direction of the attack, his eyes bloodshot.
The entire Huyan family had been brought into the Imperial Palace. The Empress had said that it was not safe outside.
In fact, it was Crown Prince Haohong's intention. He was afraid that the Huyan family would run away …
In a small room in a side hall, Bu Xun had finished his meal. He waved his hand to signal a young eunuch to take away the tableware.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense that something was wrong. It was too quiet. There didn't even seem to be the sound of footsteps outside.
He quickly walked out of the door and looked around. The courtyard was quiet, and there were indeed no sounds of footsteps. To be exact, there wasn't even a shadow of a person.
What was going on? Bu Xun was startled. He immediately walked towards the main hall where the Vast Cloud Painting was located. However, he hadn't gone far when he suddenly staggered. He supported himself with one hand on the pillar under the eaves and the other on his stomach. His breathing suddenly quickened.
He lifted the hand that was covering his stomach and wiped his mouth and nose. His hand was dyed dark red, and blood was dripping from his mouth and nose.
"Where's the ink? There's no ink. Someone, Bu Xun! "
The disheveled Vast Cloud Painting, who looked like a mad demon, raised his brush and scribbled on the walls and pillars of the hall. There were also messy handwriting on the messy papers on the ground. They were all curses. Suddenly realizing that there was no ink, he shouted and screamed.
Bang! The door was pushed open.
Vast Cloud Painting didn't even look at it. He stared at the handwriting on the wall and shouted, "Ink!"
There was no response. Vast Cloud Painting suddenly turned his head and glared angrily. His angry eyes gradually became startled. He discovered that a person had crawled in through the doorsill with great effort. It was Bu Xun, who was bleeding from his mouth and nose.
Clatter! The brush in Vast Cloud Painting's hand fell to the ground. He stared blankly at the crawling Bu Xun.
Bu Xun, who had crawled over with great difficulty, finally reached his feet. He grabbed the hem of his trousers and said with a mouth full of blood, "Your … Majesty …"
Vast Cloud Painting finally squatted down slowly and grabbed Bu Xun's hand. He didn't need to guess to know who did it. His face was filled with grief and indignation. "Unfilial son! Someone, someone, quickly come and save him. Someone, quickly come and save this Emperor's chief steward! "
"It's useless." Bu Xun, whose face had already turned green, pulled him, indicating that he shouldn't waste his effort. He panted and said, "Your Majesty, hand … hand over the divine artifact to Jade Emperor."
Vast Cloud Painting knelt down and used force to lay Bu Xun flat, trying his best to make him more comfortable. He raised his hand and stroked Bu Xun's chest. "Old friend, it was We who acted willfully and harmed you. However, we can't hand it over. Why are they in such a hurry to obtain the nation's divine artifact? This is to prepare for retreat in case we can't defend it! "
"The dignified capital of Qi Country has gathered the strength of the country. A hundred thousand soldiers are stationed there, and the city is sturdy enough to defend against the attack of a million soldiers."
"How can the dignified capital of Qi Country be abandoned so easily? If the unfilial son can't obtain the nation's divine artifact, he won't dare to abandon it so easily. Otherwise, the nation's divine artifact will fall into the hands of external enemies. "
"They have to defend it for this Emperor! This Emperor believes that this Emperor's General will definitely not abandon Qi Country. Reinforcements will definitely come. "
Bu Xun shook his head. "Your Majesty, the death of this old servant is not to be regretted. Killing this old servant is just killing the chicken to warn the monkeys. If Your Majesty still doesn't hand it over, there will be people who will kill the other princes. He has plotted to ascend the throne, and he has no legitimate reason to do so. The other princes will have plenty of reasons to rebel against him. If we can't obtain the nation's divine artifact and confirm our position among the princes, the other princes will be in danger. If we want to forcefully obtain the treasures in the treasury, it's not impossible to open it. At most, we will have to waste a little more time. If we can't stop them … there's no need to let Your Majesty's sons and daughters do … pointless … "Bu Xun stiffened his neck and forcefully glared at them. However, before he could finish his words, his body stiffened and his head tilted to the side weakly.
Vast Cloud Painting's breathing quickened, and his eyes turned red. Suddenly, he wiped his tears with his sleeves and covered Bu Xun's eyes. Slowly, he closed Bu Xun's eyes and murmured, "Old friend, you go first!"
Then, he stood up and walked to the door unhurriedly. Standing at the door, he shouted, "Come!"
In the imperial study, a eunuch ran in and approached Hao Hong. He whispered, "Your Highness, His Majesty said that he is willing to hand over the kingdom's divine artifact, but …"
Hao Hong was overjoyed when he heard the first part. Just as Bu Xun had said, he wouldn't be able to rest easy if he couldn't get his hands on the national divine artifact. Once the national divine artifact fell into the enemy's hands, he wouldn't be able to call himself the Emperor of Qi without it. In the face of the rebel army's attack, he had to make preparations just in case. Once he escaped, the nation's divine artifact had to be in his hands.
But when he heard the word 'but', his face darkened. "But what?"
The eunuch said, "His Majesty said that if you want the nation's divine artifact, then don't sneak around. Let the Crown Prince meet him in person and ask him for it openly!"
Hearing this, Hao Hong was somewhat fearful. This was caused by the Vast Cloud Diagram's accumulated prestige, in addition to the fact that he was guilty of treason. After placing the Vast Cloud Diagram under house arrest, he had not dared to see it. Until now, he had avoided seeing it.
However, the situation was different this time. After hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go and meet … Bring a few more people with you!"
"Yes!" The eunuch accepted the order and hurried off to make arrangements.
In the place of house arrest, the father and son finally met.
Looking at Bu Xun's corpse at his father's feet, Hao Hong cupped his hands and bowed. "Imperial Father!"
The Vast Cloud Diagram coldly glanced at the group of people behind him and said indifferently, "Our body is old and no longer has the courage of a young man. Do you need to bring so many people to see how cowardly you are?"
With so many people listening, Hao Hong was a little embarrassed by the words. He put down his hands and straightened his chest. "Imperial Father, is there any meaning in saying this now?"
The Vast Cloud Diagram suddenly shouted angrily, "What are you afraid of? You have succeeded in usurping the throne. That is your ability. What is there to be afraid of? With your courage, can you defend the nation's divine artifact even if it is given to you? "
Hao Hong took a deep breath. "I have nothing to be afraid of. It is Imperial Father who is overthinking things."
"Good! You want the nation's divine artifact, right? " The Vast Cloud Diagram raised his finger and pointed at his feet. "Kneel down and kowtow three times. Then, we will give you the nation's divine artifact!"
Hao Hong stared at him, not knowing what he meant.
The Vast Cloud Diagram said, "What? Can't you kneel down and kowtow a few times to me, your father? Kneel down and kowtow three times. A monarch doesn't go back on his words. If I say I will give it to you, I will give it to you! "
Hao Hong's cheeks tightened. In the end, he still knelt down and kowtowed three times. He did indeed kowtow three times.
When he kowtowed, the Vast Cloud Diagram walked to the side and made way for Bu Xun's corpse to kowtow to Hao Hong.
When the group of people saw this scene, their expressions were complicated. Some eunuchs' eyes turned red.
