Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 619: The last breath to hold on to the country

Views:

Huangfu Qing said nothing more and left from the other end of the house.

Having said that, what rival in love could do this to me? As Tang Wanzhuang said, I took on a lot of responsibility for this reminder. Not only was I letting my rival go privately, I was even teaching my rival to ruin my plans. No matter what happened next, I could have a clear conscience when I met Zhao Changhe.

Anyway, it was not his concern to think about what would happen to Tang Wanzhuang later. He should do his own thing. As Huangfu Qing flew, he had already taken out the mask, passed through the dark alley and left. It was already the Vermillion Bird spreading its wings, and the devil flame swept through the night.

Looking back along the way, Huangfu Qing still had some admiration for her. Judging from Tang Wanzhuang's attitude, maybe she had already figured it out even without him saying it... If everyone's business was going to be ruined in her hands, then Huangfu Qing would really admit it. There was nothing to say about not being as skilled as others.

As for life or death... Tang Wanzhuang is certainly facing the fall of the sky, but where can these dragon slayers like themselves be safe

Who doesn't risk their life for their own ideals

Tang Wanzhuang did not go out to receive Wuping Hou Qin Dingjiang directly, but first untied Baoqin's acupuncture points and whispered: "Do you know what to do?"

Baoqin pulled her sleeve, reluctantly: "Miss... please come with us..."

Tang Wanzhuang rubbed her head: "Okay... When you see Zhao Changhe next time, tell him that I promised you to him, okay?"

Baoqin was furious: "If you have the guts, marry yourself!"

After saying that, he ran away angrily, saying as he ran: "Xu Xu, if Zhao Changhe was here, he would definitely ask you what qualifications you have to promise someone to him! Bitches only make arrangements for others, you should make arrangements for yourself first!"

After saying this, he ran away without a trace, not giving the lady a chance to beat him.

Tang Wanzhuang looked at her back, sighed softly, and went out to meet Qin Dingjiang.

Qin Dingjiang is her deputy in the Demon Suppression Division. He used to be ranked 18th on the Earth List, but is now ranked 14th. He is also a pillar of the Great Xia Empire. He was responsible for escorting Wang Daozhong back to the capital during the Yang Family Incident. He is a silent and steady person, and has no family background. He is deeply trusted by Tang Wanzhuang.

"Why is Dingjiang here so late at night? What is your majesty's order?"

Qin Dingjiang cupped his hands and said, "I don't know either. They just said that the First Master was going to the Imperial Study to meet him."

Because Xia Longyuan returned injured, Tang Wanzhuang knew that the inner guards of the imperial guards were all good-for-nothings stuffed in by the rich and powerful, and she arranged Qin Dingjiang to guard the palace secretly, so it was normal for him to convey the palace's order. Tang Wanzhuang nodded and strode out: "In this case, I will be on duty tonight, Dingjiang go back and rest, you have been exhausted these days."

Qin Dingjiang smiled and said, "Then I really won't be polite to you, Master. You've worked hard all night, I'll take a rest before I take over."

Tang Wanzhuang smiled and said, "I'm not that fragile. It's not hard to spend a few nights here. You can go now."

"Then I have to go and take over, so I'll go with the chief first."

"good."

The two men flew all the way to the palace gate. When the guards saw them, they bowed and opened the door to welcome them in.

The Imperial Study Room is not far from the Outer Palace, in a small hall on the side of the Golden Throne Hall, which is convenient for foreign ministers to enter and discuss matters. It is one of the representatives of Xia Longyuan's early years when he just ascended the throne and worked hard to govern. Unfortunately, the bright lights in the Imperial Study Room over the years have nothing to do with Xia Longyuan himself, but just a rubber stamp sitting there pretending.

The nature of this fake is also interesting.

He couldn't possibly bother Xia Longyuan with all the state affairs. If that was the case, why would he need a fake like him? In other words, Xia Longyuan really gave him all the authority to discuss and review the affairs of the court. He could do whatever he wanted. On the surface, he had great power, just like a real emperor. Strictly speaking, most of the stupid measures in recent years were issued by him, and Xia Longyuan didn't care at all.

But he couldn't replace Xia Longyuan completely. He could only hide in a small room when he returned to the harem to rest. He didn't dare to sleep with the queen. Not to mention that Huangfu Qing and he were political partners, he didn't dare to touch other concubines, not even the palace maids. In theory, they all belonged to the real Xia Longyuan. If the real Xia Longyuan wanted them, he would be dead. Who knows that feeling... The reason why he cooperated with Huangfu Qing was that he had some hidden intentions, hoping that they could create sparks under their identities? Unfortunately, he could only dream about it and soon found out that Huangfu Qing actually treated him as a fart.

Politically speaking, on the surface, he can do whatever he wants, but in fact, when it comes to really important matters, such as those related to the great families, the army, and key personnel, he must also ask the real Old Xia for instructions. For example, Tang Wanzhuang always contradicts, and although she appears respectful, her beautiful eyes also hide the meaning of "I know you are a fake" and "I give you some face but I actually look down on you". The fake is unhappy and wants to remove her, but dare she

He tried to ask the real Lao Xia if he could withdraw his troops, but Lao Xia slapped him so hard that half of his teeth were knocked out: "Wan Zhuang is my Wu Hou, and you are my puppet. Know your own identity. Do you really think that this country depends on you?"

He has neither power over the world nor the knees of beauties. This kind of "emperor" is worse than ordinary people. At least ordinary people can marry a wife, but he can't.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the fake colludes with the Four Symbols Sect and inserts Huangfu Qing into the inner palace. This is his most serious provocation and temptation to Xia Longyuan. The reason he used is "I also want a wife." As a result, Xia Longyuan frowned and thought for a long time, then said, "Well, it can be regarded as appeasing Huangfu Yongxian's heart, which is somewhat meaningful... Let her mess around for a few years and see what tricks the Four Symbols Sect can play. As for you... are you trying to hide your little tricks from me?"

The fake one was bitten by ants all over its body and was tortured for ten days without being able to get out of bed.

He finally understood that Xia Longyuan seemed to care nothing, but actually knew everything. He knew that Huangfu Qing was going to deal with him, but he was quite tolerant, firstly for the sake of the Yanmen Northern Army, secondly because he felt a little sorry for the Four Symbols Sect, and thirdly because he was confident that the Four Symbols Sect would not make any waves. The problem was that tolerating Huangfu Qing did not mean tolerating him. After this test, the double standard treatment completely made the fake lose the idea of fighting for his own rights, and he just honestly became a puppet.

After enduring till today, he finally had the chance to strike back, whether it was against Xia Longyuan or Tang Wanzhuang who looked down on him.

Tang Wanzhuang and Qin Dingjiang had just walked to the door of the imperial study when the eunuch outside the door announced: "Master Tang of the Demon Suppression Division has arrived."

A cold voice of a fake was heard from the imperial study: "The Tang family of Gusu openly claimed to be king and rebelled. This is a serious crime of treason. The evidence is solid. Immediately arrest Tang Wanzhuang, confiscate the Tang family in the capital, and execute the entire clan!"

Just as he was speaking, Qin Dingjiang, who had just been chatting and laughing with Tang Wanzhuang, suddenly attacked Tang Wanzhuang from the back.

As a subject, Tang Wanzhuang seemed unable to resist, and it seemed that this attack hit him directly.

Everyone around was stunned.

The fake was a warrior after all, and his training was not weak. The news spread far and wide, and the nearby guards, palace maids, eunuchs, and even foreign officials who stayed overnight in the outer palace, proofreaders and other civil servants all heard it, and were instantly shocked!

These people don’t know that this is a fake, they all think it is the real will…

It is not certain whether the Tang family rebelled or not. It is just a rumor that needs to be investigated and even can be fought for. How can we make such a conclusion

Even if it is determined that the Tang family rebelled, Tang Wanzhuang cannot be implicated. Everyone knows that Tang Wanzhuang is firmly opposed to it? At most, she can be dismissed. If you kill Tang Wanzhuang, is there any hope for the world? Do you know how many people are still working for the empire because of Tang Wanzhuang? Many people know that there is no future, but they insist on doing it because of Tang Wanzhuang's personality charm, just like Li Si'an and others. There are many such people. They are the last guardians of the empire.

Your killing of Tang Wanzhuang is even more outrageous than Zhao Gou's killing of Wu Mu. You are going to destroy the last bit of loyalty in the empire!

How dare you take such a life that would destroy your own Great Wall!

Those who were able to see the energy could almost see the dragon energy lingering above the palace disappear completely in an instant, without leaving any trace.

In the stunned silence, Tang Wanzhuang, who seemed to be restrained, sighed: "I knew this was the fuse. The energy of the world has long been shaken, and this final critical blow should be on me, Tang Wanzhuang. I can't kill you yet, because if the news of Tang Wanzhuang's regicide spreads, the effect will be the same. This is an unsolvable problem."

In the imperial study, Qin Dingjiang retreated in shock without saying anything: "You... your acupoints were not hit?"

Tang Wanzhuang's face turned slightly red.

Someone was practicing dual cultivation by kissing and transferring energy, so of course I had to teach her how to do it. She also watched the Maitreya teachings and naturally learned the shape-shifting and acupoint-changing techniques.

I just didn't expect it to be used here.
