In the huge Shanshui Courtyard in the west of the city, Liu Che was hosting a banquet for hundreds of officials. His whole face was glowing red, as he was in high spirits during a happy event.
I remember that back then, the man named Chen looked down upon me and instead chose the short-lived Liu Yan to become the King of Pei. As a result, his status in the Pei Kingdom plummeted and all his ambitions came to nothing.
Later, with the support of that man, Liu Yan expanded his territory all the way, and he was even more breathless. He almost thought there was no hope for him in this life.
Who would have thought that things would turn around, and after tonight, that man would bid farewell to Peidu, Liu Yan would lose his biggest backer, and he was about to rise!
When he thought about ascending to the throne, he was filled with joy and wished that the man would disappear quickly so that he could kill his useless brother with his own hands.
There was an endless stream of congratulations from the ministers. The aroma of fine wine and the sweet sound of the piano covered up the commotion outside, leaving Liu Che immersed in the beautiful imagination of the future.
It wasn't until the body of the guard was thrown into the hall and the water dancing army surrounded the entire mansion in the blink of an eye that Liu Che suddenly woke up from his spring and autumn dream!
He saw his younger brother, who was King Pei, wearing armor and personally leading the army into the hall.
"Second brother, I have given you many opportunities, but you still failed to live up to my expectations."
"You have to die today, so I will do it myself. It is a sign of respect for you, and it also reminds me that the emperor is ruthless!"
Liu Yan was still very young, but his delicate face revealed perseverance and coldness.
Gu Chen's order was conveyed through Ni Bodhisattva, and he immediately understood that the master was a little disappointed in him.
When his master helped him to sit on the throne, he mentioned the problems of his brothers, but because of brotherly love, he was soft-hearted and did not make great efforts to solve the future troubles at that time.
He thought that because he cared about brotherly love, his second brother would reciprocate his love. Unexpectedly, when Pei State faced the crisis of national subjugation, it was his brother who was the first to attack him!
Because of his initial soft-heartedness, civil strife broke out in Pei State when it encountered a crisis, which delayed the military situation on the front line. Every moment, his good men of Pei State were killed on the battlefield!
Those soldiers also have their own families, but they fight bloody battles on the front lines to protect the country, while they, the so-called royal family and nobles, fight endlessly for their own selfish interests in the rear, and even betray the country.
Over the past few days, he finally realized that the so-called emperor's ruthlessness does not mean being unkind, but for the sake of righteousness and the country, sometimes he has to make sacrifices!
Because of his personal benevolence towards women, countless men from Pei Kingdom died in battle. This is his sin!
"Kill! Leave no one behind!"
Liu Yan gave the order, and the Shuiwu Army rushed into the hall. The so-called dignitaries fled in confusion and shed blood one by one!
They also tried to explain why they appeared at Liu Che's banquet, but unfortunately, Liu Yan didn't give them a chance!
"Brother, my good brother! I was just temporarily deceived by an adulterer, I..."
The dream was shattered and death was imminent. Liu Che knelt down and begged for mercy, but before he finished speaking, Liu Yan had already pierced his Tianling Gai with a sword!
Sheathing the sword and sheathing it, the whole process was neat and tidy. Liu Yan turned around and left. This luxurious landscape courtyard was destroyed in the fire in an instant!
…
Kingdom of Jin, Jindu, Marshal's Mansion, late at night.
Since Jin King Tiemu'an announced his abdication and surrendered to Grand Marshal Tie Li, the Marshal's Mansion has become the highest power center in the Jin Kingdom.
Although Tie Li has sat on the throne, he has a military background and is used to working in the Marshal's Mansion and has never stayed in the palace.
The security of the Marshal's Mansion is even tighter than that of the palace. Not only are the Po Rui troops trained by Tie Li personally stationed there, but there are also many powerful monks responsible for guarding it.
In a restaurant not far from the Marshal's Mansion, Ye Jin, Ye Wunian's eldest adopted daughter, stood side by side with Tu Xiong, who was carrying a beheading sword, and were quietly paying attention to the Marshal's Mansion.
"Do we really want Chen Yi to be the master of the pavilion? There is no truth to the matter, right?"
Tu Xiong said, his eyes a little complicated.
The experiences of Zeguo and his party are still fresh in our minds. Who would have thought that how long it would take before that man actually killed Pavilion Master Ye, and many high-level officials in the pavilion recognized his status!
"My adoptive father has indeed lost contact, and the senior officials in the cabinet also sent out messages at the same time, acknowledging Chen Yixin's position as cabinet leader. Do you think it is possible that so many senior officials spoke at the same time that the matter is false?"
"Whether the senior executives are now controlled by Chen Yi or are dead, it means that he does have that strength now. I know my adoptive father too well, how deep his scheming is, and now he has fallen into Chen Yi's hands
, which shows that we simply don’t have the capital to compete with Chen Yi.”
"Since you can't compete, it's better to be loyal to him. This reshuffle of Wuwang Pavilion's top management is also an opportunity for you to go further."
"The most important thing, you also know, although I am the oldest adopted daughter of my adoptive father, I am not actually his first adopted daughter. All the previous sisters are dead."
Ye Jin let out a long sigh, but there was some expectation in his beautiful eyes.
The fall of the adoptive father means that the sisters are free from now on!
"What you said makes sense. I'm not good at conspiracies and the like, so I'll just listen to you."
"It's just that the Marshal's Mansion is so heavily guarded. Since the Qiankun Society supported Tie Li on the throne, it has sent many more monks around him. Even if I personally take action, I can't guarantee that I can successfully assassinate Tie Li. Where can I find this Chen Yi?
The person who came here just asked us to take care of the aftermath. Is he so confident in his people?"
Tu Xiong said with some dissatisfaction. He is known as the executioner. He is usually only responsible for killing people. When did he start doing logistics?
"Isn't it great that we don't have to take risks? The former King of Gold Tiemu'an has been quietly transferred by us from the place of imprisonment. As long as Chen Yi's people successfully assassinate Tie Li, our task will be much easier, and it will be a great achievement.
"
"But let alone a national war-level assassin like you, I'm also very curious about who Chen Yi sent here. If he succeeds in the assassination later, we might be able to find out what happened during the handover."
Ye Jin smiled slightly, his face full of curiosity.
Not long after, a big commotion broke out in the Marshal's Mansion ahead. The troops first gathered towards Tie Li's residence, and then started searching the entire Marshal's Mansion like headless flies!
Then, loud crying came from the mansion, and Ye Jin and Tu Xiong looked at each other. "Succeeded?"
It seems that there was no fight with the monks and troops in the Marshal's Mansion, and Tie Li was killed without anyone noticing?
The two felt a little incredible. The monks sent by the Qiankun Society should not be such idiots, not to mention that Tie Li always had powerful worshipers around him.
"You will know what's going on if you ask the informants in the Marshal's Mansion."
Ye Jin was very concerned and turned around to contact the eyeliner, but found a note on the table behind the two of them.
