Martial Arts Crossover: Starting as a member of the Imperial Guard, all the ladies are demons

After the Imperial Guard left, Mao Xiang said coldly, "Once the Northern Yan assassination plan is exposed, your Wang family's death is imminent."

"You aristocratic families deserve to die."

096 Northern Yan's defeat is exposed, the war of annihilation begins (Please subscribe, please customize, please do everything)

Northern Yan is taking action, and so is Great Liang.

Similarly, the Southern Chu was also taking action.

Inside the Eastern Palace of Southern Chu, Crown Prince Yuwen Qi was gazing at the map of the various states, lost in thought.

"Why won't Father Emperor adopt my suggestion to unite the other nations and jointly attack Liang!"

"Emperor Liang clearly intends to destroy Yan and then divide the other states one by one. If I'm not mistaken, with the envoys from the various states visiting Liang, if Liang employs even a small trick, they will start fighting each other."

"At that time, it will be difficult for us to unite again."

Yuwen Qi looked at the map, his eyes filled with incomprehension and resentment.

In his view, Xiao Jingyi was aiming to destroy the country this time.

He was also very puzzled as to why Da Liang had grown up so quickly.

"Even if the strength of the Great Liang was strong before this, it wouldn't have been this outrageous."

"But why has the Liang army undergone such a dramatic change in less than a year?"

"Just who is this Emperor Liang, Xiao Jingyi?"

Yuwen Qi will never know that Xiao Jingyi is a cheat code.

That's just how unreasonable it is.

"No, I must try to persuade my father again while Northern Yan is still intact. If I really can't persuade him, I'll have the court officials come with me!"

Seemingly having made an important decision, Yuwen Qi's expression turned solemn. He then returned to his desk to continue writing memorials.

This time, he was determined to change his father's mind no matter what.

The Liang dynasty is full of wolfish ambitions; they cannot be allowed to live!

"tread!"

At the same time, a figure slowly appeared in his study.

He was dressed in purple, with an unruly hairstyle, a cold face, and crimson eyes.

He held a long knife with a black hilt and half a blade. Blue stripes on the blade revealed the pattern of an evil spirit, emitting a faint blue light.

He quietly approached Yuwen Qi from behind, his eyes indifferent as he looked at the memorial Yuwen Qi was writing. He then raised the knife in his hand and pierced Yuwen Qi's throat from behind.

"Pfft!"

The sudden attack gave Yuwen Qi no time to react. His eyes widened, bloodshot.

He tried to shout, but the newcomer gave him no chance, slamming him onto the table with a chop to the wrist. The newcomer then placed his hand on his pulse, found him dead, and left.

But halfway there, he seemed to remember something.

"Oh, right, His Majesty told me to leave a trace."

He walked back to the body, stomped on the blood flowing on the ground with his shoes, and then turned and left.

As he turned around, a number could be clearly seen written on the back of his purple robe.

"Seven!"

The next day, early in the morning.

A scream echoed throughout the entire Eastern Palace.

Immediately following, news that was enough to shake up the Southern Chu court spread throughout the court and the country.

The Crown Prince of Southern Chu was assassinated.

The killer is unknown, but the killer left bloodstains, and the last place where the killer's footprints disappeared was the Third Prince's residence.

Suddenly, opinions were divided.

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince's faction believed that the Third Prince had killed the Crown Prince, and early in the morning, all the memorials were impeaching the Third Prince.

The third prince was also bewildered. He had clearly done nothing wrong, yet he was impeached and falsely accused of murder, putting him in a very passive position.

But he really didn't do anything!

He was initially happy because the crown prince was killed, but now he felt no happiness at all.

Moreover, the death of the crown prince shattered the previously peaceful and harmonious court.

With the crown prince gone, the other princes gradually began to vie for the throne.

Wang Yun, the Minister of Rites, also unexpectedly encountered the Sixth Prince at this moment.

I recognized him by his eyes; this was the person Wang Yun was going to trick—no, wait, the person he was going to follow.

It can be said that the Southern Chu was in chaos.

.

Not only Nan Chu, but also Dayu and Ye Qin, after receiving the alliance letter from Daliang, were also eager to join the fight.

At the behest of both emperors, border conflicts became increasingly apparent, and tensions escalated.

However, the current frictions are still small-scale and do not affect the overall trend. But it is clear to everyone that the two countries are about to clash.

These messages were all sent to Xiao Jingyi.

“That’s right. With the Southern Chu in turmoil right now, even if they react, the crown prince’s position is still uncertain, and they won’t have the resources to manage other matters.”

"As for Dayu and Yeqin..."

Seeing that friction had already begun as soon as the talents from both countries returned, Xiao Jingyi was quite satisfied, but felt that the process needed to be accelerated.

"In this situation, why hold back? Let's just attack!"

"No, I'm going to add fuel to the fire. What did Jia Xu say about digging up ancestral graves?"

"It's worth a try."

After reading this intelligence, Xiao Jingyi felt refreshed and invigorated. He loved this feeling—the feeling of having everyone under his control.

"Your Majesty, it's time for the morning court session."

Just then, Han Le walked to his side and whispered a reminder.

"Yes, I understand."

Xiao Jingyi nodded, then looked at Han Le: "Han Le, I seem to remember that a few days ago, some envoys from Northern Yan came again, is that right?"

Han Le respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, yes, the Minister of Rites did report on it at the time."

"Look at my memory, I've even forgotten about this."

Xiao Jingyi smiled and then said, "In the past few days, quite a few ministers must have come to see me about the Northern Yan matter, right?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang comes most frequently, but Your Majesty has never seen him."

"Lord Wang?"

"Wang Qianzhi, Lord Wang."

"Row!"

Upon hearing Han Le's words, Xiao Jingyi wore a mysterious smile. He then tidied his clothes with Han Le's help and headed towards the main hall for the morning court session.

When he arrived, all the civil and military officials had already gathered.

"Go up!"

After he finished, Han Le's sharp voice rang out.

"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, pay our respects!"

"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, pay our respects!"

"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, pay our respects!"

"..."

Xiao Jingyi said calmly, "All of you, rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"What do you have to report today?"

Xiao Jingyi smiled as he looked at the assembled court officials below, but his gaze was actually fixed on one person: Wang Qianzhi.

Perhaps it was his gaze that helped, for Wang Qianzhi stepped out of the ranks and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the army that has just attacked Northern Yan has won a great victory and has even occupied three prefectures of Northern Yan. In my opinion, this battle has demonstrated that the army of our Great Liang is invincible. Your Majesty is wise and mighty."

"However, the two sides are engaged in a great war, and the people are suffering terribly. I implore Your Majesty to withdraw your troops and demonstrate your benevolence. This is the act of a sage."

As soon as Wang Qianzhi said this, it immediately sparked a great deal of discussion among the officials.

Cai Quan immediately stepped forward to refute: "Your Majesty, I cannot agree with Lord Wang's opinion."

"The Northern Yan army, taking advantage of Your Majesty's newfound position, attempted to commit petty theft. They have only themselves to blame for this outcome. I believe that since we are going to fight, we should fight them hard enough to make them fear us!"

"That's not enough!"

"Minister Cai is mistaken."

Wang Qianzhi immediately said, "Your Majesty has already conquered the three prefectures of Northern Yan, and the lesson they have learned is profound."

"Your Majesty, I humbly request that you consider the people of both countries and cease hostilities."

"That's outrageous! We've clearly won a great victory, how can we call a truce!"

"If the two countries continue to fight, there will be immense suffering and loss of life!"

“…”

Seeing Cai Quan and Wang Qianzhi arguing fiercely, and with other people from both sides joining in, Xiao Jingyi watched with great interest.

He also found the court proceedings rather boring these days, and the arguments were quite entertaining.

Seeing that the stalemate was not resolved, Wang Qianzhi then looked at Xiao Jingyi and said, "Your Majesty, I have met with the envoys from Northern Yan. They said that the Emperor of Northern Yan is willing to cede three more prefectures to appease Your Majesty's anger. I urge Your Majesty to reconsider!"

After Wang Qianzhi said this, the court fell silent, and everyone looked at Xiao Jingyi.

Because they knew that this involved ceding territory and paying reparations, and that the decision rested with the person above them.

After seeing the look Xiao Jingyi gave her, Cai Quan remained silent.

"Hehe, Minister Wang, are you really serious?"

Xiao Jingyi pretended to be very interested and looked at Wang Qianzhi to ask.

Hearing this, Wang Qianzhi was secretly delighted, but still replied without batting an eye, "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true, and I dare not utter a single falsehood."

"If Your Majesty does not believe me, you may summon Lin Feng and his envoys to see you. They are standing outside the palace gate with a map of the land to be offered."

"Oh?"

"Then let Xuan come in and take a look."

Seeing that Xiao Jingyi wanted to see him, Han Le immediately had Lin Feng and the others brought in.

A short while later, Lin Feng and a man walked in. This man was Ji Gang, but now he was using the alias Lu Xiaosheng and was an assassin.

"The envoy from Northern Yan pays his respects to His Majesty of Great Liang."

"Hmm, get up. I just heard Wang Qianzhi say that your Northern Yan is willing to cede territory and beg for surrender?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng said sorrowfully, "Please, Your Majesty of Great Liang, have mercy and spare Northern Yan. Your Majesty has said that our attack on Great Liang was wrong."

"We are willing to offer three prefectures to Your Majesty of Great Liang. We beg Your Majesty to show mercy and grant us this favor!"

“Spare Northern Yan, spare the 1200 million people of Northern Yan.”

Lin Feng prostrated himself in worship, speaking in a sorrowful voice.

The cries and wails were so loud that it would be inexcusable not to mourn at the funeral.

It was a heartbreaking sight that brought tears to the eyes of all who heard it.
