The sky-covering technique begins, and the rising moon over the sea shocks Yue Yao.

Emperor Tai'an stood up, slowly walked to the window, and looked at the sky outside the palace.

The moonlight was like water, peaceful and tranquil, but his heart was restless.

He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Zhuoqing, Qi Tianchen and others could complete the task smoothly and bring back good news soon.

"Your Majesty, would you like me to bring you a cup of tea?" the eunuch beside him asked cautiously.

Emperor Tai'an waved his hand and said, "No need."

"I don't feel like drinking tea right now."

"Go and find out if there's any news about Zhuoqing and the others."

The eunuch quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go right away." After saying that, he hurriedly retreated.

Emperor Tai'an returned to sit in front of the imperial desk, his worries growing stronger.

He began to imagine various possible situations. What would he do if the operation failed?

What should we do if Zhuoqing, Qi Tianchen and others encounter an accident?

Just when Emperor Tai'an fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, there was a burst of rapid footsteps.

Emperor Tai'an's heart tightened and he looked up, only to see a guard hurriedly running into the hall.

"Your Majesty, there is urgent military information!" The guard knelt down to report.

Eunuch Fu hurried over and asked in a low voice, "Why are you so flustered? Tell me slowly."

The guard gasped and said, "Grand Eunuch Zhuoqing and Imperial Preceptor Qi Tianchen were assassinated."

"Su Muyu and Su Changhe escaped with serious injuries, but their target, Baili Changge, survived!"

When Eunuch Fu heard this, his face changed suddenly. He knew the seriousness of the matter.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tai'an slammed his hand on the table and roared, "Waste! A bunch of waste!"

The memorials and writing materials on the table were scattered all over the floor. Eunuch Fu was so frightened that he knelt down immediately, not daring to raise his head.

Emperor Tai'an's anger was like surging waves, rolling in the imperial study.

He never expected that the carefully planned assassination would fail and Baili Changge was still alive.

This is undoubtedly a huge threat to his rule.

Emperor Tai'an took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.

He knew that now was not the time to vent his anger and he had to come up with a solution as soon as possible.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Pass on my order. Send someone to investigate this matter immediately. We must find out why the assassination attempt failed!"

Eunuch Fu quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will do it right away."

After saying this, Eunuch Fu stood up and left in a hurry.

Emperor Tai'an sat on the dragon throne, his eyes revealing deep worry.

At this moment, Emperor Tai'an suddenly thought of his sons, Prince Jingyu Xiao Ruojin and Prince Langya Xiao Ruofeng.

He felt that it was time to let Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Ruofeng get involved and discuss countermeasures together.

However, after thinking about Xiao Ruofeng's character, Emperor Tai'an gave up the idea of ​​asking Xiao Ruofeng to come.

"Go and call Prince Jingyu." Emperor Tai'an ordered.

A eunuch took the order and left.

.........

......

...

After a while, King Jingyu Xiao Ruojin hurried over.

Xiao Ruojin was wearing a gorgeous robe and a jade crown on his head. He had a handsome face and extraordinary temperament.

He walked into the imperial study and knelt down to pay his respects to Emperor Tai'an.

"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor." Xiao Ruojin said respectfully.

Emperor Tai'an nodded slightly and said, "Get up. I called you here today to discuss something important."

Xiao Ruojin stood up and asked, "Father, what's the matter?"

Emperor Tai'an told Xiao Ruojin about the failed assassination attempt. After hearing this, Xiao Ruojin's face became very solemn.

"Father, this matter is of no small importance."

"If Baili Changge doesn't die, he will definitely pose a huge threat to us."

"We must come up with a plan as soon as possible to get rid of him," Xiao Ruojin said.

Emperor Tai'an frowned slightly and said, "I also know the seriousness of this matter."

"But we still don't know how strong Baili Changge is, nor do we know if there are other forces supporting him."

"We can't act rashly and must proceed with caution."

Xiao Ruojin thought for a moment and said, "Father, I think we can first send someone to secretly investigate Baili Changge's whereabouts and background to understand his strengths and weaknesses."

"At the same time, we can also strengthen the guards of the palace to prevent him from sending assassins again."

Emperor Tai'an nodded and said, "You are right. Let's do as you say."

Xiao Ruojin took the order and began to arrange the investigation into Baili Changge.

Emperor Tai'an sat in the imperial study, lost in thought.

He knew that the failure of this assassination would trigger a series of chain reactions.

Baili Changge will definitely take action, and he must be prepared to respond.

Chapter 208 Li Changsheng's Abnormality

Upon hearing Baili Changge's question, Li Changsheng didn't speak immediately, as if he was thinking about something.

For a moment, the atmosphere fell into silence.

At this moment, the moonlight falls on the courtyard like silver frost, and the quiet atmosphere is broken by the occasional chirping of insects.

Baili Changge and Li Changsheng sat opposite each other, and the wine jug in front of them exuded a faint aroma of wine.

Li Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

A good while.

Li Changsheng looked at Baili Changge and said slowly, "Junior Brother, I came to you today because I have something important to discuss with you."

Baili Changge snorted unhappily, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Brother, please speak quickly. I don't have that much free time."

Li Changsheng was not annoyed. He poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip.

"Junior brother, let me ask you, do you have any intention of rebelling?"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have taken Prince Jingyu's wife away, and today you killed Zhuoqing and Qi Tianchen, the two right-hand men of Emperor Tai'an."

After hearing this, Baili Changge was slightly stunned, then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he did not answer.

But his meaningful look said it all.

Li Changsheng immediately looked at Bai 290 Li Changge with a serious expression and asked again.

"Junior brother, have you really thought it through?"

"Once you embark on this path of rebellion, there's no turning back."

Baili Changge was silent for a moment, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and slowly put it down.

"Brother, I have made up my mind."

"Emperor Tai'an has attempted assassination attempts on me and Baili Dongjun several times."

"It's not that I want to rebel, but he forced me to do so."

Li Changsheng sighed softly, "Junior brother."

"But have you ever thought about the difficulties and obstacles involved?"

"Although the Beili court is corrupt, its foundation is still intact and its military strength is strong."

"How can you fight against it on your own?"

"From what I understand, your grandfather, Baili Luochen, will not cooperate with you."

Baili Changge shook his head, "Brother, I am not alone."

"Even if there is no Zhenxi Marquis Mansion."

"Throughout the world, there are many like-minded people who deeply detest the Beili court."

Li Changsheng shook his head slightly, "Junior brother, you are too optimistic."

"This rebellion is a matter of great consequence."

"If we're not careful, we'll be doomed. Do you have a concrete plan?"

Baili Changge frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Brother, I have already contacted some heroes and knowledgeable people in the martial arts world."

"We plan to start from the border areas and gradually expand our sphere of influence. When the time is right, we will attack the capital in one fell swoop."

After hearing this, Li Changsheng fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he slowly said, "Junior Brother, although your plan is feasible to a certain extent, it still involves many risks."

"The Beili court will certainly suppress your actions. How will you respond?"

Baili Changge raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, "Don't worry, brother, I'm fully prepared."

"We will adopt guerrilla tactics, avoiding the enemy's sharp edge and attacking them when they are unprepared."

"At the same time, we will also win the support of the people and leave the Beili court isolated and helpless."
