Mo nodded and said, "You make sense. Let's go."
Then, they suddenly disappeared into the woods.
The two walked till noon and finally saw a town.
Huo Si, who was driving the carriage, said, "Your Highness. There's a town ahead. Shall we stop to have a rest and restock some food?"
"Father, what about you..." Lan Cangmo looked at Lan Kuo and asked him.
Lan Kuo nodded, "That'll be fine to take a rest."
Hearing that, Lan Cangmo said to Huo Si, "Take a rest in this town."
Huo Si replied to him. Then, he waved his whip and drove the carriage towards the town.
In the town, there were not many pedestrians on the street. Even there were only a few inns, which did not look very good.
Seeing that some strangers came in, the pedestrians on the street started talking about it in whispers.
They all stopped to look at those people wearing armors and the carriage seeming
Hearing Lan Kuo's voice, Lan Cangmo said first with his hands arched, "We lost this battle superficially. Dongling will definitely in turn target us. However, I don't think that's the case."Hearing that, Lan Kuo looked at Lan Cangmo and said, "Then, what's the next step do you think Dongling will take?"Thinking for a moment, Lan Cangmo said, "Father, as far as I'm concerned, Dongling will not dispatch troops to Xiling immediately. But that doesn't mean we can be completely relieved. After all, we could not get alone with Dongling anymore after this battle."Hardly had Lan Cangmo's voice faded away when Lan Cangyue quickly said, "I totally agree with Second Brother. The emperor of Dongling will not give up on this. Although the national coffer of Dongling is empty now, they will attack Xiling in the future. We must get ready for the battle."Hearing that, Lan Kuo raised his eyebrow and said, "Well, good analysis. Eat fast! The foo
When other managers saw this, the smile on their faces froze.Huo Si suddenly held back the sword. The manager's neck was slashed by it and blood gushed out of his neck to the other two managers' faces before the manager could scream.Seeing this, the other two managers couldn’t help being stiff. Then they used their hands to touch their faces and saw blood on their hands. Then they responded and shouted, "Escape quickly. Someone is killed. Someone is killed."Meanwhile, they ran to the town.Huo Si raised the sword in his hand and shouted, "Go. Kill all of them!"One of them pulled the rein of the horse and took the lead to run to the town.He caught up with those two managers and held out his sword. Those two managers were killed and fell to the ground.Huo Si raised his sword and shouted, "Go ahead!"Seeing this, the rest of the people in the town couldn't help screaming and sc
Hearing this, Lan Cangmo smiled and said, "So Le Qian is your follower, Bro."Meanwhile, Lan Cangmo looked at Le Qian.Hearing this, Le Qian hurried to walk forward, knelt on one knee, and said with hands cupped, "Your Majesty and Your Highness, I am sorry to make you frightened.""It's just a misunderstanding. Never mind." Lan Cangmo said to Le Qian.Lan Kuo said, "Leave.""I am sorry to frighten you, Father and Bro." Lan Cangyue said.Lan Cangmo asked Huo Si to come here, "Ask people outside to go in. It is not large. Let them try to bear it. Bring the food inside and let's eat it.""Yes, Your Highness." Huo Si replied, held back the sword, and walked outside.Lan Cangmo helped Lan Kuo walk beside the bonfire and put the quilt on the floor. Then Lan Kuo sat down.People outside went in one by one.Huo Si made another two piles of bonfires and took out t
The rest of the people also stopped talking and stood still quickly.After Lan Kuo sat down, the civil and military officials all knelt and saluted Lan Kuo."Get up, everyone," Lan Kuo said at this time.Then, the ministers all stood up.At this time, Lan Kuo looked at Guo Hu and said, "What happened during my absence?""Your Majesty, everything is alright. Nothing happened." Guo Hu took a step forward and then replied.Lan Kuo nodded and then asked again, "Does anyone want to report anything else?"At this time, those ministers looked at each other. Why did the Emperor break the topic when he came? Could it be that Xiling was really defeated?At this time, a minister from behind stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask.""Say it." Lan Kuo pinched his nose and then said.The minister said, "Your Majesty, what is the result of our attack
Right at this time, Lan Kuo slightly lifted the corner of his mouth and continued, "Why not let my officials have a discussion and decide which son of mine is the most suitable to be the Crown Prince?"Hearing that, officials were shocked. They thought the Emperor was setting a trap for them. Because as long as they named a prince, the Emperor would know who was the one they supported.So no matter who they nominated, they would fall into a trap.When Lan Kuo finished, all officials kept silent. After all, no one would like to jump into that trap.Seeing no one speak, Lan Kuo looked at the Prime Minister and asked, "Prime Minister, you're the most trustworthy for me. So who do you think is suitable to be the Crown Prince, namely the future emperor?""Your Majesty, three princes all have their advantages. No matter who becomes the Crown Prince, I will try my best to support him," the Prime Minister walked forward and re
When Concubine Luo Lan came in, she curtseyed to others one by one. Then she walked to Lan Kuo and asked with care, "Your Majesty, I have heard the message that you came back this morning. I've been so worried these days. Now that I see you here, finally, I can be relieved."While saying, Concubine Luo Lan's eyes became a little red. Then she pressed the corner of her eyes slightly with her handkerchief, looking rather pitiful.Seeing this, the Empress's look turned cold. That was why the Emperor had always favored Concubine Luo Lan so much.Every man would love her.At that moment, Lan Kuo was looking at Concubine Luo Lan with tenderness. Had it not been for her and Concubine Yi to be here now, Lan Kuo would have held her in his arms.Thinking of that, the Empress sneered in her mind, "You wouldn't feel so in a while."She looked at Lan Kuo and asked, "Your Majesty, I met several officers on my way here.
At that time, he was angry with himself as he believed that it was his fault that led to his mother's death.However, as he grew older, it seemed to him that there was more to it.Sure enough, the result of the investigation showed that it was caused by the Empress.He remembered that his mother and the Empress entered the Palace almost at the same time.His father, the Emperor, was fond of both of them. But finally, his mother was pregnant before the Empress. At that time, his father only had one daughter.The Empress was afraid of his mother giving birth to the Emperor's first son, which would pose a threat to her. Therefore, she employed a midwife at a high price, who followed her order to kill his mother and tell others that his mother died of dystocia after she truly gave birth to a baby boy.After that, that midwife jumped into the river and died.Lan Cangmo had always compressed this ma
Hearing Lan Cangyue's words, Lan Cangmo pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh? What makes you care so much?"Lan Cangyue glanced at Huo Si standing on the side. Then, he said, "It's a serious matter. I think I'd better tell you in private."Before Lan Cangyue could finish his words, Lan Cangmo said to Huo Si, "Huo Si, back off."Huo Si arched his hands and went out.After he had left, Lan Cangmo sat up and looked at Lan Cangyue. "You can be frank.""Well, Second brother, it has something to do with your mother. I shouldn't mention it at this point, but I think you'd better know it." Lan Cangyue pretended to be considerate of Lan Cangmo.Hearing that Lan Cangyue mentioned his mother, Lan Cangmo was surprised for a moment. It seemed that Concubine Luo Lan also knew something about his mother's death.At this time, Concubine Luo Lan asked Lan Cangyue to tell him this matter, probably because s
She wondered if the things she had asked Uncle Liu to let Mo Shang investigate were finished. Qiao Shu was smart. If there was no powerful evidence, it would be difficult for her to confess guilt.The country couldn't be operated without a king. Shuo Ling said that tomorrow he would help Chushi Weiyang ascend to the throne. Although she didn't have a deep impression of Chushi Weiyang, he was very upright, so it would be a good choice to let him be the emperor.It was getting dark. Yang Zijin was leaning in Shuo Ling's arms at this time, "Shuo Ling, I want to go to the Blossoming Peach."After sleeping all afternoon, she didn't feel sleepy at all. She hadn't seen everyone for a long time. She really missed them a little, and she still had things to do."Okay," Shuo Ling nodded and then said to Mo Li outside.Then, the carriage rode towards the Blossoming Peach.At this time, the people in the Blossom
After leaving the imperial city for so long, to be honest, he was still worried about the martial club and wondered if the little brats had been practicing properly.Although wandering about all corners of the country made him feel free and at ease, now he always felt that there was a stable place to rest more at ease.Pei Moning smiled when he thought of this. Then, he shook the reins and ran to the martial club faster.At this time, Uncle Liu also walked to his medical hall.He didn't know if Mo Shang listened to him and came back to clean up the tattered medical hall.Thinking of this, Uncle Liu quickened his pace and walked towards his medical hall.Back in the mansion, Shuo Ling excused that Yang Zijin was so tired after riding in the carriage and still didn't let her walk by herself. On the way back to the room, Yang Zijin always felt that something was missing in that place, but she couldn't
Then, Empress Dowager walked to Shuo Ling and asked while staring at him, "Shuo Ling, your father had a good reputation for his loyalty when he was alive. Why did you start a revolt? Aren't you afraid to let your father down?""Let him down? I would have if I hadn't taken revenge for him. His Majesty knows well about what he had done," Shuo Ling said and looked at Chushi Youtian at the same time.Empress Dowager was confused and asked, "What do you mean?"Getting no reply, Empress Dowager turned to Bai Zhanfei and asked, "General Bai, you once worked for Old Marquis Shuo. Tell me what happened!""Your Highness, His Majesty is the one who lets us down," General Bai explained.Then, he told Empress Dowager what Chushi Youtian did. The latter put on a long face after that. She said, "I didn't know my son had tricked and killed his loyal official. That was unforgivable...""Mother, I indeed made a hasty
"I own everything here except those I gave to you. Those I don't give to you still belong to me!" Chushi Youtian shook his head and said after hearing what Chushi Weiming said.Chushi Weiming raised his eyebrows and asked, "Really? If so, I will make them mine."He wielded his sword while speaking, after which Chushi Lanfu fell to the ground.Seeing that, Chushi Youtian shouted, "Guards, kill this monster!"Right after he finished, four people showed up. They were Chushi Youtian's secret guards.Then, Chushi Weiming's men also rushed in. At once, it turned into a huge mess!Lanruo rushed to Chushi Youtian's palace when she heard that Chushi Lanfu was involved in the revolt. And she saw that Chushi Weiming killed Chushi Lanfu. Running into the chaotic palace, Lanruo moved to Chushi Lanfu and held him. She said, "Lanfu, wake up. Wake up!"Holding Chushi Lanfu into her arms, Lanruo cried.
"Yes, My Lord!" Zhou Ji answered.Waving his hand with a cold look, Shuo Ling ordered, "Go!"After Zhou Ji left, Shuo Ling sneered. When the Lan Family and the Emperor were weakened by the revolt that the Lan Family started, Imperial Concubine Xiao could meddle in and reap the benefits then. What a wonderful plan!If he had a hand in this, they wouldn't be able to present him with a good show.So he didn't have to do anything.At the thought, Shuo Ling turned around and walked back to his room. It wasn't as worse as he expected. He still got everything under control now!In Lan's Mansion, Chushi Lanfu walked into Prime Minister Lan's room."Lanfu, have you made up your mind?" Prime Minister Lan asked when he saw Chushi Lanfu.The latter nodded and answered, "Yes, grandfather. Let's send our army to the battlefield!""Great. I've expected you to say so," Prime M
When Shuo Ling was about to take off his clothes and rest, he heard that Mo Li was calling him. Then he opened the door and walked out."What's the matter?" After coming out, Shuo Ling looked at Mo Li and asked.Mo Li said at this moment, "Luo Jin is here."After hearing this, Shuo Ling frowned slightly and then followed Mo Li into his room."My Lord," When Luo Jin saw Shuo Ling coming in, he stood up and saluted Shuo Ling.Then, Luo Jin talked about the recent events that happened in Jing City.Hearing this, Shuo Ling frowned tightly.Why now? And then, Shuo Ling asked again, "Where is General Bai now?"Shuo Ling knew that Bai Zhanfei was an impulsive person. He was afraid that Bai Zhanfei would put himself in danger to save Bai Shuangshuang.He must go back soon for this matter. However, Zijin was pregnant now, and she couldn't walk too fast.So,
Seeing this, Yan Luo couldn't help being touched. It seemed that her father had been so much loved by the people.After she took the throne back, she would assist Lingjun to be an emperor like her father.At this time, Yan Luo hurried forward, helped the old man in front of her, and then said, "What are you doing? Please get up quickly. Time is urgent. We will discuss other things later. Everyone goes back and hides in the room.""Yes, Your Highness," Everyone nodded in response and then scattered around.After these people were arranged, Yan Luo and her people continued to walk towards the palace.At this time, Yan Ji couldn't help being full of anger when he heard the news from the city gate. Then, he said, "What good-for-nothings you are! A bunch of useless men. Get out of the house. Get out!"After hearing this, the people in the house hurriedly backed out.Yan Ji sat down at this m
"But if we fail, I don't want you..." Chushi Lanfu said.But Prime Minister Lan interrupted him, "You deserve this. Leave everything to me and I'll do the work.""Yes, grandfather. Should we tell mother our plan?" Chushi Lanfu asked after hearing what Prime Minister said.Prime Minister Lan shook his head and answered, "Not now. She's not good at keeping secrets and she may give herself away.""I see," Chushi Lanfu responded.Then, Prime Minister Lan continued, "Go back to have some rest. I'm sure that His Majesty will send people to investigate this. So even if you will be discrowned, Imperial Concubine Xiao will also get in trouble. Don't worry. Let's plan our next move after tomorrow!""Yes," Chushi Lanfu nodded and left.In the meantime, the Emperor was back to his palace. When he calmed down, he started to recall what had happened.As the Crown Prince, Chushi Lanfu kne
Chushi Youtian stopped before the room where Chushi Lanfu stayed and ordered Eunuch Li, "Kick the door open!""Yes!" Eunuch Li answered and opened the door.Then they saw the Crown Prince and Consort Zhen were lying near the door.Eunuch Li's eyes were wide open when he caught sight of that. Then, he stepped back to stand behind Chushi Youtian.Seeing them lying together with clothes in disarray, Chushi Youtian flew in a rage and shouted, "Pour water to wake them up!"Hearing his order, Imperial Concubine Xiao rushed forward to shake Consort Zhen and said, "Wake up. Wake up!"At this time, Eunuch Li walked in with water in his hand.Chushi Youtian ordered loudly, "Pour!"Eunuch Li did what he asked.Chushi Lanfu and Consort Zhen woke up with a start because of the cold water.Looking at Consort Zhen and his messy clothes, Chushi Lanfu was flustered
