Returning after three years of reincarnation in the world of martial arts

Just let the Tao family go?
Li Zhongwu looked at Yuan Miaoyu with her eyes closed and meditating, and felt that she was being merciful.

If a woman wants to be an emperor, there are many obstacles.

He remembered that before and after Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor in history, she killed so many people until no one dared to oppose her that she was able to secure the throne.

And Yuan Miaoyu doesn't seem to have Wu Zetian's murderous nature. Can such a character really secure the throne?

He wanted to persuade her, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea of ​​persuading her.

Because he suddenly felt that if she was really as murderous as Wu Zetian, it might not be a good thing. You must know that Wu Zetian became ruthless, but even killed his own son.

And her Yuan Miaoyu's son was Li Zhongwu's son. From his standpoint, he certainly didn't want his son to have such a cruel mother.

There was silence in the car, Yuan Miaoyu kept her eyes closed, as if she had been exhausted from all the strategizing in the palace today.

Speechless all the way.

Yuan Miaoyu didn't open her eyes until the car drove into Seventh Princess's Mansion, glanced at Li Zhongwu, gave Li Zhongwu a smile, a guard opened the car door, and she got out of the car first.

Li Zhongwu then got out of the car, and Yuan Miaoyu said to him: "It's been a hard day today, go back to wash and sleep early! I'm afraid there are many things waiting for us tomorrow, and you have to work hard for a day with me."

Li Zhongwu nodded.

There was no turning back when they opened the bow. Today, the couple killed King Rui first, then Tao Yu, and forced the third prince, Yuan Miaoduo, to surrender.

Not only that, Yuan Miaoyu also coerced all the princes and princesses in the Wuji Palace.

Now, Li Zhongwu knew in his heart that he and Yuan Miaoyu had no way out.

Either help Yuan Miaoyu ascend the throne smoothly, or escape from Dayan, otherwise, they can only die.

……

Yuan Miaoyu came to the door of the bathroom under the escort of a dozen guards. She stopped and asked a maid standing at the door of the bathroom, "Is Lan Ying back? Let her come to see Bengong!"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

The maid took the order and left.

ten minutes later.

In the bathtub of the bathroom, Yuan Miaoyu sat in the pool with her eyes closed, allowing two maids to help her scrub her body. Lan Ying's voice came from the door: "Your Highness! Lan Ying please see me!"

"Come in!"

Yuan Miaoyu closed her eyes and replied.

"Yes! Your Highness."

The door opened, Lan Ying walked in with her head slightly lowered, closed the door casually, walked a few meters forward, and came to the bathing pool.

"You two get out!"

Yuan Miaoyu opened her mouth lightly, and the two maids responded and got up and left the bath one after another. After a while, only Yuan Miaoyu in the bath and Lan Ying beside the bath were left in the huge bathroom.

Lan Ying still lowered her head, "What orders does Your Highness have?"

Yuan Miaoyu finally opened her eyes, looked at Lan Ying with calm eyes, and said in a serious manner: "Although Tao Yu is dead, the five tigers of the Tao family are all extraordinary. The most important thing is that Tao Yu gave him these five sons, all married a good wife! I remember that Tao Xun's first wife is the beloved daughter of the head of the Second Army in Northern Xinjiang; Tao Kang's first wife is the daughter of Yao Ruofeng, the lord of Binhai City; In this situation, the five tigers of the Tao family should not move lightly, it just so happens that... this Palace rejected Tao Xun's surrender today, and in order to protect themselves, the Tao family will inevitably switch to other people before the throne is determined."

Speaking of this, Yuan Miaoyu narrowed her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "So, Lan Ying! Order the heavens to abandon the guards! From tonight, we will closely monitor the five tigers of the Tao family! I will use them as bait to catch other people who still have ambitions for the throne! If you can find evidence of collusion between the in-laws of the Tao family, especially the head of the Second Legion and the lord of Binhai City, report it immediately! I will eradicate them all before ascending the throne! Never future trouble!"

Lan Ying raised her head slightly, Su Rong took the order, "Yes! Your Highness!"

Yuan Miaoyu smiled faintly, began to scrub herself, her tone became casual, "Go! Remember! Don't let the son-in-law know about this, I don't want him to see this side of me!"

Lan Ying was startled, and subconsciously looked at Yuan Miaoyu.

"Why?"

Lan Ying couldn't help asking.

Yuan Miaoyu smiled again, looked at her white skin, and said softly: "When the concubine was alive, she taught me that women should not be too strong or too cruel, otherwise no man would like it. Although the son-in-law is not an ordinary man, I think he doesn't like the way I am superior, and I think he will not like the ruthless side of me."

Lan Ying: "???"

Looking at Yuan Miaoyu's expression as if falling in love, Lan Ying suddenly felt lonely. Originally, she thought that she and the seventh princess were like-minded monarchs who fought side by side.

And now what?
She had the illusion of being betrayed by Princess Seven.

The Seventh Princess seems to be no longer focused on the great cause, and her heart is full of the great cause. It seems that she is the only one, Lan Ying.

"Retire from humble position!"

Lan Ying, who was in a complicated mood, bowed her head dryly and retreated, she no longer knew what to say.

……

In another bathroom, Li Zhongwu was also taking a bath at this time.

He was alone in the bathroom, and he didn't have a maid to serve him.

While taking a bath, he thought about what he had seen and heard today, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh.

He felt that Yuan Miaoyu was good at dealing with the teachers and students of the Ability Academy and the second princess' son-in-law, and she might be suitable to be a queen.

But she felt that she still failed to avoid the benevolence of a woman when dealing with the Tao family.

This made him somewhat annoyed, fearing that she would not be able to sit firmly on the throne, and he would inevitably need to use violence to help her solve all kinds of troubles in the future.

And he was really tired of fighting and killing.

Just want to live a peaceful life.

But now it seems that a stable life seems to be getting farther and farther away from him.

……

late at night.

Tao Xun got out of the car with a gloomy expression, and knocked on the door of his house. In the Tao family compound, white curtains can be seen everywhere, and the main hall is lit with lights.

Tao Xun walked over with heavy steps.

The lobby has been decorated as a mourning hall.

Because it was already late at night, there were no people in the mourning hall, only the figures of three middle-aged men kneeling in front of the mourning hall, lowering their heads and burning paper money.

Hearing footsteps in the yard, one of them turned around and saw Tao Xun. The man's expression moved slightly, and he asked expectantly, "Brother! Is Zhenhaiyin coming back?"

Hearing the sound, the other two also turned their heads to look at Tao Xun. The most mature-looking person among them saw the gloomy expression on Tao Xun's face, his expression changed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Brother! Zhenhai Yin is not coming back?"

If you look carefully, the appearance of these three middle-aged men is somewhat similar to that of Tao Xun.

In fact, they are indeed Tao Xun's brothers.

Three of the five tigers of the Tao family: the second Tao Kang, the fourth Tao Yi, and the fifth Tao Ming.

Tao Xun shook his head with a wry smile.

Tao Kang, Tao Yi, and Tao Ming all frowned.

Tao Yi, the most irritable, couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, Fifth Brother! If we don't return to Zhenhai Seal, our Tao family will be finished! Without Zhenhai Seal, our Tao family descendants will soon be inferior to each other. No way! No matter what price we pay, we must get Zhenhai Seal back!"

The fifth Tao Ming frowned, "Take it back? How? Today's situation is already obvious. The Seventh Princess wants to succeed! Once she succeeds, maybe she will be able to wipe out our Tao family with an imperial decree. It can be said that our Tao family is in danger now. What else can we do to get back the Zhenhai seal?"

Tao Yi suddenly got up and said: "Why can't we? Hasn't it been determined who will succeed the throne now? Although my father has passed away, our Tao family still has strength! At this time, whoever we invest in will be more likely to succeed to the throne! As long as the one who succeeds in the end is not the Seventh Princess, as long as we can help a prince to the throne, with our Conglong's merits, I don't believe that we won't be able to get the Zhenhai seal back!"

The second eldest Tao Kang shook his head slightly, "It's easy to say, which prince can we help now? The prince has become notorious and can't protect himself! The third prince has already lost, and even the third prince himself has surrendered to the seventh princess. With the help of Zhong Wu, a top expert, who would dare to compete with the Seventh Princess for that position? Who else can we help?"

"This……"

The fourth Tao Yi was at a loss for words.

The eldest Tao Xun stepped into the gate of the main room, walked up to his father Tao Yu's coffin, reached out to bring a stick of incense and lit it on the candle on the table, took two steps back, bowed to his father's portrait, and then straightened his waist and put the incense in his hand into the incense burner.

After doing this, he looked at his father's portrait and said in a deep voice: "In any case, we must take back the Zhenhai seal! It is the foundation of our Tao family! Without the Zhenhai seal, our Tao family descendants will not be able to inherit the cultivation of our ancestors. Over time, our Tao family will surely die without a place to die!"

The fifth Tao Ming couldn't help asking: "But, big brother! What else can we do now? Then Li Zhongwu is no match for his father at all, how can we take back the Zhenhai seal from him?"

Tao Xun turned around slowly, looked at the three brothers with a gloomy face, his voice was low, but his tone was firm, "Now in Tianque City, the only ones who can defeat Li Zhongwu should be Da Zongzheng and Cui Boyao! Dazongzheng can't help us, so let's go to Cui Boyao! I don't believe that Cui Boyao would want the seven princesses to become emperor. He must have a prince he wants to serve! No matter who he wants to serve, we will all vote for that prince! On the day of success, our Tao family does not want any other rewards, but only the Zhenhai seal! What do you think?"

Tao Kang, Tao Yi, and Tao Ming were all a little emotional when they heard this, and they looked at each other. Tao Yi was the first to express his opinion: "I agree! This should be our Tao family's only hope now!"

Tao Ming also nodded, "Cui Boyao's Iron Torrent really has the hope of defeating Li Zhongwu! I also agree!"

The second Tao Kang frowned and pondered for a few seconds, then nodded slowly, "This is indeed a solution! But just in case, I suggest that some family members be transferred out of Tianque City as soon as possible! Whether it is success or failure, we cannot let the family lose their incense!"

Tao Xun hummed, "It should."

The other two brothers also nodded in agreement. (end of this chapter)
