"Now we have the support of a prime minister and a general, and the second prince is the same as us. We are evenly matched. The rest depends on your majesty's decision."
"The Imperial City is still under lockdown, and the morning court has been temporarily cancelled. Even if we want to show off, we have no chance. We don't know when the Imperial City will be unblocked."
Murong Fu said with a somewhat solemn expression.
"The news that my father is about to end his life has spread throughout the imperial capital. The imperial city will not be closed for too long. In the next two days, it is estimated that my father will let the three ministers and generals enter the palace to discuss the follow-up matters."
Qin Chuan interrupted and said.
Yang Feng remained silent. Without Master's calculation, his thoughts would be similar to Qin Chuan's. But now his intuition told him that Emperor Daxu was planning something else. No emperor could calmly accept that his life span was coming to an end.
fact.
"Your Highness, there is news from the palace that Your Majesty will go to court tomorrow!"
When the three of them were still guessing when the emperor would summon the three ministers and generals, the attendant suddenly broke in and said hurriedly.
"Go to court!"
Murong Fu and Qin Chuan's pupils shrank. If Emperor Daxu's condition was really as Yang Feng said, news about the early dynasty would definitely not be spread for the sake of the stability of the dynasty.
"That's right, Eunuch Gui just announced outside the imperial city that His Majesty will go to court tomorrow, and he also designated all the princes to attend."
"All princes must go to court?"
Since the third child died in the battle for the Qinglong inheritance, only the eldest prince Qin Chuan and the second prince Qin Yang have gone to court. The other princes are not qualified to participate in the court meeting at all. If all the princes are allowed to attend the court meeting tomorrow morning, is it to announce the candidate for the crown prince?
"I'm afraid there may be danger tomorrow morning."
Yang Feng suddenly reminded him.
"You can rest assured that the imperial city is very safe. No one in the world except Master dares to break into the imperial city. There are three generals in the morning court. No one can be detrimental to me during the morning court."
Qin Chuan waved his hand easily to signal Yang Feng not to be too nervous.
"Danger does not come from outside."
"You mean Your Majesty?"
Murong Fu suddenly raised his head and asked. During this day, all the princes were busy recruiting supporters for themselves. It could be said that they basically regarded Emperor Daxu as a dead person. How could an emperor allow a prince to blatantly form cliques?
All the princes gathered in the court. As long as Emperor Daxu is ruthless enough, only one prince will finally walk out of the imperial city tomorrow morning!
No one dares to disobey the emperor's decree. No matter how many courtiers Qin Chuan has won over, they will all fall into disgrace under the emperor's decree. If he disobeys the emperor's decree and favors Qin Chuan, even if he escapes from the imperial city, he will be ridiculed by traitors and traitors in his life.
crime.
"Although what I said is only a possibility, you know the character of Emperor Daxu better than I do. You already have the answer in your mind whether such a change will happen."
Yang Feng's words were like a sharp knife piercing the nerves of Murong Fu and Qin Chuan.
"But His Majesty has decreed that all the princes will participate in the court tomorrow morning. If we don't go, we will be resisting the decree. The outcome will be the same. The only solution now is to try our luck. If His Majesty still thinks about the etiquette of respecting elders and inferiors, Qin Chuan has a high chance of winning.
high."
Murong Fu didn't have much confidence when he said this. If Emperor Daxu really cared about the etiquette of elders and younger ones, he wouldn't need to take great pains to help Qin Chuan win over the courtiers.
Qin Chuan sighed in despair: "Is there any other way?"
There was deathly silence in the courtyard. Faced with absolute imperial power and etiquette, Murong Fu could not think of any other way.
"Of course you will find a solution if you go. Sighing here is just a waste of time. I will go to the court with you tomorrow morning and wait for you outside the palace. If you encounter danger, my chance of escaping will be increased a bit."
The academics in the court will definitely not sit idly by while Yang Feng is being hunted. As long as the situation can be chaotic, Qin Chuan's chances of escaping from the imperial city will be greatly improved. Of course, it would be best if nothing happens.
"Qin Chuan's safety is entrusted to you."
Hearing that Yang Feng would follow him, Murong Fu finally felt relieved.
At night, Yang Feng and Murong Fu sat in the yard and looked at the stars in the sky. After a while, Murong Fu asked: "Are you quick when you take action?"
Yang Feng knew what Murong Fu was asking, nodded and said: "Erase all life with one sword."
"Actually, when he was a child, he was very dependent on me. It was just that I attracted much attention when he was growing up, which made him feel that he was left out, so he started to oppose me everywhere. In recent years, he found that I was close to Qin Chuan, so he
He went to Qin Yang to make plans to fight against me. In the final analysis, he is just a little kid who won’t grow up."
Murong Fu's eyes were wet as he spoke. He could have not brought up Murong Luo. Neither Yang Feng nor Qin Chuan cared about Murong Luo, but he sold Murong Luo in order to successfully help Qin Chuan sit on the throne.
Luo, his blood relative.
Yang Feng did not open his mouth to comfort him. Comforting people was not his specialty. All he could do was sit here and listen to Murong Fu talk.
After a while, Murong Fu wiped the tears from his eyes and said with a smile: "If there is an afterlife, I hope he will not be born into such a complicated family again."
"Yang Feng, if something happens tomorrow morning, I hope you can try your best to save Qin Chuan."
Yang Feng hummed. If the emperor insisted on executing Murong Fu at court, he would still be somewhat sure. What he was afraid of was some accident on the road. Never underestimate how crazy a person who is on the verge of death can go.
…
As the sun rose in the east, a ray of purple light shone in the courtyard of the eldest prince's residence. Qin Chuan had already put on formal clothes and got into the car with Yang Feng.
"Yang Feng, do you think my father will really execute me in public?"
"Tell me, if I were not born into the royal family, would we have a chance to travel the world together?"
"I heard from Fatty that you know a lot of martial arts. Can you teach me how to do it? I'm tired of learning all the royal stuff."
…
In the carriage, Qin Chuan was a talkative person who never felt thirsty and never stopped talking.
"parking."
A wisp of cold air blew past the back of the head, and the three sword intentions simultaneously issued warnings, indicating murderous intent!
"Hide in the car and flee back to your mansion as soon as I let you go."
After that, Yang Feng got off the carriage. It was still early and there was no one on the street. A cold wind blew on the empty street.
"Hang!"
Suddenly a flash of sword light flashed in front of Yang Feng's eyes, and the sword edge with murderous intent took advantage of the dazzling gap of the sword light to stab the eldest prince in the carriage.
"clang!"
Jian Feng was about to fall into the carriage when suddenly a broken sword flew and knocked Jian Feng away. The figure of the man in black who was assassinating him kept retreating and disappeared into the empty street in the blink of an eye.
"Shadow's true meaning?"
The sword domain opened, and the entire street was shrouded in it. Unfortunately, Yang Feng did not find anyone hiding. This is not the true meaning of the shadow!
"Walk!"
Yang Feng flattered him, and with a high-pitched cry, the carriage crashed in all directions and ran towards the eldest prince's mansion.
"Hang!"
A hundred meters away, the sword light flashed again. The man in black had just appeared. Yang Feng was already standing behind him. The gray sword energy passed through his body. Only a muffled sound was heard. At this moment, the sea of energy was wiped out by the sword energy of destruction.
.
"Who sent you here?"
Yang Feng stepped on Mo Mo's chest with one foot and lifted the veil with one hand. However, when the black fire in Mo Mo's hand burned the next moment, the corpse turned into charcoal in just a breath.
"A dead soldier?"
Yang Feng frowned and looked at the carriage that was speeding away. The sword domain expanded again. Feeling the pressure of the sword domain, the originally crazy horse suddenly stopped and trembled uncontrollably.
"what happened?"
Qin Chuan looked confused the whole time, feeling dizzy due to the galloping horse.
"Someone is assassinating, and the method is not simple. He is at the peak of the Heavenly Transformation Realm."
There are very few people at the peak of the Heavenly Transformation Realm who are good at assassination. Such people will run away as soon as they fail to succeed. With their extraordinary cultivation and various life-saving methods, even if they escape one assassination, they will suffer endless assassinations. You
He couldn't be caught yet, so he could only be beaten passively.
Unexpectedly, someone in the imperial capital actually bribed a dead soldier who was good at assassination. This person was not simple.
"Then shall we go to the morning court now?"
Qin Chuan looked over the corpse turned into charcoal with lingering fear and asked in a low voice.
"I won't go. This journey is too dangerous. There should be more than one person who assassinated you. Just complain about illness. Just say that you were assassinated on the way to the imperial capital and you can no longer participate in the court meeting."
"But...I'm not injured."
Qin Chuan regretted his words as soon as he finished speaking, but it was already too late. Yang Feng raised his hand and shot out a sword energy that avoided his vital points and pierced his body. Although the vital points were not hurt, this sword energy
It was enough for Qin Chuan to train for ten days and a half.
The severe pain made Qin Chuan grin, and tears almost burst from his eyes.
"If it hurts, just scream."
"ah!"
The screams instantly echoed throughout the street, and many confused people poked their heads out to look, only to see a luxurious car speeding across the street towards the eldest prince's mansion.
The blazing sun rose from the horizon, and a group of ministers gathered outside the imperial city. They carefully guessed the purpose of today's morning court in private, and began to worry about the prince who served them.
"Ancient Holy Soul, I didn't expect you to come to participate in the morning court? It's rare that you, who always think highly of yourself, can appear here."
Nie Quan, wearing armor, jumped off his horse with a sneer on his face.
Among the three generals, Cheng Dang, the general who controls the country, is the most powerful, with a military power of 400,000. Nie Quan has 300,000, but Ancient Saint Soul only has 100,000. In Nie Quan's eyes, the position of General of Ancient Saint Soul is purely for the emperor.
The ancient holy soul was given to the master just to give him face. This kind of bastard is not worthy of being ranked with him.
The Ancient Saint Soul glanced at Nie Quan, and then his eyes fell on Cheng Dang again.
Among the three generals, the one whom the emperor trusted the most was Cheng Dang. It is said that he single-handedly brought Cheng Dang out when Emperor Daxu personally conquered the northern countries. As the only person around the emperor who could be trusted and who was in charge of a large amount of military power, Cheng Dang was a cultivator.
There will naturally be no shortage of resources.
His cultivation in the middle stage of the Cave Underworld makes him look old, but when he actually fights, he can explode with astonishing combat power.
"How many princes haven't come yet?"
At this time, some ministers finally sensed that something was wrong. Seeing that the imperial city was about to open and the morning court was about to begin, none of the many princes showed up. What were these princes doing?
Xin Mochang walked up to the ancient holy soul and asked in a low voice: "Do you know why Mr. Yang hasn't come yet?"
The Ancient Saint Soul didn't even bother to reply, but replied coldly: "I don't know. I just promised to help him publicly express his support for the eldest prince. I don't care about other things."
Seeing the smelly and hard appearance of the ancient holy soul, Xin Mochang could only shake his head helplessly and looked far into the street, hoping to see the figure of a certain prince. However, he was disappointed by the fact. He didn't even look until the gate of the imperial city opened. A prince's carriage appeared.
