Now that he has come to this point, the scapegoat is to be blamed anyway, so Yuchi Xinhan doesn't mind being even more extreme.
One year later, Licheng!
After a great chaos, countless people were killed and injured here. When Xiao Ting arrived, there was already thick smoke billowing.
There were cries of children and screams of old people everywhere.
Helplessness and desolation are the themes here.
Xiao Ting hurried over, picked up a child, and avoided the burning pillar beside her that was about to fall.
"Woo woo woo..."
The child didn't feel it at first, and only cried in a low voice when he saw the collapsed house behind him.
Wipe away tears with dirty hands.
Xiao Ting asked him what happened
The child's voice was not loud, but it was disturbing to hear.
"Father and mother are gone."
Xiao Ting felt her heart tighten, he is still so young...
She didn't comfort the child, but continued to walk forward with him in her arms, and she saw no exceptions along the way.
Although it can't be called dead bodies everywhere, it's almost the same.
The whole city was destroyed.
Xiao Ting grabbed one of them and asked what happened here.
In the end, the man just shook his head helplessly, and said: "It's all God's will, God's will, girl, you are not from our Li City, you should leave here quickly!"
"Why?"
Xiao Ting felt that what the man said yesterday was a bit strange, so she pulled him back and asked a question.
"The world-destroying calamity star appears, and the world is in chaos. Hey!"
He didn't say much, but it was enough for Xiao Ting to understand that it was caused by the Ninth Prince.
She quickly carried the little boy to the original city lord's mansion, and she saw a familiar figure.
"Li Mo..."
Li Mo is organizing everyone to deal with the aftermath, with a sad face on his face.
"Princess, you are back."
Although they haven't seen each other for a year, Xiao Ting and Li Mo have always been in contact.
"What happened here?"
Li Mo led Xiao Ting to walk in, the city lord's mansion was also in a state of depression, the flowers and trees were all destroyed, the ground was potholed, it was very unbearable.
Xiao Ting was led to the hall and met many familiar people.
Yuchi Xinhan and Mr. Xu were discussing something, everyone had serious expressions on their faces, it was obvious that something important had happened.
"Princess..."
"Princess is back!"
Xiao Ting's arrival instantly dissipated the dignified atmosphere, and everyone stood up to greet her.
Especially Hong Shao and Lv Cai, their eyes turned red immediately, counting, Xiao Ting has been separated from everyone for more than a year.
After some simple greetings, Xiao Ting cut to the chase and asked about the situation here.
Since Xu Changsheng came to Licheng, he has never left, and has been helping the Ninth Prince and the others to take care of Licheng.
"It's best if you come back. This city of Li belongs to you. It's really outrageous to let people like us worry about you all year round as shopkeepers."
Xiao Ting is twenty years old, more and more bright, her eyebrows are wide open, she is a little less naughty than before, but a little more wise.
She is no longer that lawless little girl with nothing to do.
Xiao Ting sat on the chair, rolled her eyes with a smile, and said: "What Mr. Xu said, we have always been able to do more work! This girl has no talent or virtue, even if you give me the whole world, I don't have the ability!"
"This girl is not our empress dowager, she is so powerful!"
She mentioned the current empress dowager lightly, and everyone fell into thinking.
"The current trend in the world..."
As soon as Mr. Xu mentioned it, Xiao Ting stopped him with a smile.
"Old Xu, there is no world in this world, let's not care about it for now, can you first tell us what kind of monsters have emerged in our Li city?"
That's the point, okay
What the hell is going on in the world, who can worry about it alone
Really old, think too much.
Mr. Xu was so angry that he gave her a face and stood up.
Judging from this posture, he wanted to talk to her.
Yuchi felt helpless, wanted to give Xiao Ting a look, but was afraid that the other party would not understand his intentions.
I had no choice but to persuade Mr. Xu.
"Don't be angry, everyone knows what kind of temperament the princess is, so don't be as knowledgeable as her."
This is an old ancestor, you can't offend him, if you lose your anger, you won't be able to get it back.
"But her, what do you think she said?"
Xiao Ting is very innocent, "It hurts my health, especially the elderly."
She felt that it was necessary to remind her of this, after all, she was her own.
Yuchi's heart froze, "..."
Everyone: "..."
In the end, Mr. Xu left in anger, and Li Mo and Yuchi were both heartbroken and did not stop him.
The old man has a tough attitude, and he will suffer if he dares to stop him.
"Princess..."
"Princess, how can you do this?"
Everyone looked at her with a look of blaming her.
Xiao Ting: "..."
"What expressions do you all have? This girl traveled through mountains and rivers and came back after a narrow escape, so you just show me this?"
In the end, Hong Shao couldn't stand it anymore, she always spoke straight.
"Princess, you don't have nothing to do to provoke Mr. Xu, okay? He has made great efforts during the time when you and the prince are not here. If he is not here this time, all of us may not be able to see you!"
Although Xiao Ting didn't feel that she offended the old man.
But seeing that everyone was looking at him speechlessly, he had no choice but to admit his mistake.
"Okay, okay, my fault, my fault, okay!"
"But who can tell me what happened?"
Xiao Ting spread her hands to express her innocence.
When Old Xu left, it was naturally Yuchi who spoke in dismay.
"A natural disaster!"
He only spat out two words lightly, with a serious expression on his face.
Since the life experience of the Ninth Prince was exposed.
Many people came to Li City one after another, all of them came to find out the whereabouts of the Ninth Prince.
Nature is nothing.
Since Prince Rui ascended the throne, the first edict issued by the empire was to expel the Ninth Prince from the empire, let alone a member of the imperial family.
And at that time, an earth-shattering thing happened.
None of the people from the four countries and ten places who came to the empire to congratulate them returned.
Everyone in the world was shocked, the monarchs of the four countries and ten places personally issued an edict to demand an explanation from the empire, but the edict had not yet spread throughout the world, and the envoy had not yet reached the empire.
Now Prince Rui, who has ascended to the throne of God, came out to explain in person that although everything had little to do with the empire, it was all done by Chu Li.
So the empire should be responsible for this matter.
He not only issued an arrest warrant, but also reduced the offerings of the other four countries and ten places for two years.
It can be described as a big deal, and I received thanks from several other countries in an instant!
Naturally, they have everything they say, and flattery is the most.
In this way, the Ninth Prince became the public enemy of the world.
The list of his crimes is simply too numerous to list.
What harmed the ministers of the five countries and ten places, and buried them in the imperial tomb of the empire.
What's more, she also killed King Yan who was her uncle, which is simply inhumane.
Comparing with what he had done before, many of his secret ways of doing things were dug out, as if at that moment, the Ninth Prince had no secrets.
Even the two girls in An Guogong's mansion had an old relationship with him, and they were pulled out, and he always abandoned them.
The wall fell and everyone pushed.
Everything seems to be coming together.
Chu Li's name spread all over the world in an instant, and everyone knew that he was a heinous villain!
It is no exaggeration to say that even a three-year-old child has heard the name Chu Li.
That is the city of Li, which was once entrusted to the Nine Princes by Emperor Renxiao.
This year has never been peaceful, there are too many people coming and going.
Although the purpose is very clear, that is to try every means to find out the whereabouts of the Ninth Prince.
They were disappointed however.
Since that day, Chu Li seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no one in the world had ever seen a piece of his clothes.
Not to mention meeting him.
Some prophets have spoken out.
It is said that Chu Li's physique has not yet reached the real Dzogchen, and now he must be huddled and practicing, and he must mobilize all the power of the whole world to find him and destroy him.
I don't know that even Taoist orthodox people have stood up and said that Chu Li is a disaster.
Want to get rid of it and then quickly.
Xiao Ting naturally heard these news in Jianghu, so she was not surprised.
What made her curious was that the empress dowager danced the most before, but now there is no news.
She told Yuchi this feeling.
Want to get some news from him.
However, Yuchi's chilling answer made her heart cold.
"Princess, you don't have to rely on me. We didn't go back to the palace back then, but we already made our position clear when we came to Licheng. Just imagine, would those hidden guards still listen to us?"
He had thought of this answer a long time ago, and it was not surprising.
Before the contemporary emperor died, he would definitely hand over all the hidden guards to a certain person.
Whether it is the prince, the commander of the imperial guards, or someone in the royal family.
Anything is possible, and this group of people will certainly obey his orders.
Therefore, every emperor would quietly cultivate his own dark guards before taking office, and he was not very willing to accept others'.
Today's emperor does not have such foresight, all he can rely on is the support and prestige of the empress dowager.
Those hidden guards during Emperor Renxiao's reign will naturally be handed over to him.
All this is going on silently.
Yuchi felt helpless, he didn't know when those hidden guards were handed over to the queen by Emperor Renxiao.
As Prince Rui succeeded to the throne, the ex-empress who was a daughter would naturally hand over these hidden guards to his father.
Every time Yuchi thought about these things, he felt that there was a destiny in the dark.
Emperor Renxiao chose not to believe in the Ninth Prince, but he believed in the Princess Zhuyue who lied to him from beginning to end.
"Forget it, anyway, that palace doesn't match my horoscope, if it wasn't for Chu Li, I wouldn't go to that ghostly place!"
Xiao Ting didn't know that there were so many things in Yuchi's heart, and she didn't care.
"Okay, let's continue talking!"
The time they separated was too long, and Xiao Ting spent most of her time in the rivers and lakes, so naturally she seldom dabbled in the affairs of the court.
Yuchi didn't let it go, he continued to talk, while the others stood quietly and listened.
Sometimes I would interject to add a couple of sentences.
These people have come and gone in the past year, and they have not taken any measures. They are very welcome. In this way, Licheng has become more prosperous.
