I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 1271 The Empress Sneezes Again
In the Shu region, the Shu King has always been the sole ruler.

But today, the King of Shu, looking at the lake, unusually asked Shen Yue and the others, "If it were you, what would you do now?"

Everyone bent over, heads bowed, looking at each other.

The obvious course of action now is to send troops to surround and kill Dian Junming. In addition, we should also guard the streets and alleys of the city to prevent Dian Junming from having already planted his men in the city.

Just now
People's hearts are different, no one speaks, and no one stands up to say anything as before.

The main reason was that they were afraid of saying too much, and that they would be killed along with Guo Fu, just like the prince had casually killed Guo Fu.

after all
prince
Ever since the news from the northern deserts and the western regions came, something felt very wrong.

All matters, large and small, in the Shu region were handled by the Grand Princess.

Fa Yuan looked at the King of Shu, and the slightly short old man spoke: "Your Highness, the most urgent task at present is to thoroughly investigate Dian Junming's henchmen, detain them, and then ask General Yan, General Yao, General Wang and others to send troops to destroy Dian Junming."

After saying that, Fa Yuan added, "And, to rescue Master Yao and Li Ziyu."

The King of Shu looked at the lake, glanced at Fa Yuan, smiled slightly, and asked, "Wang Mang hasn't arrived yet. Your residence has received the message, so he should have received it too, right?"

Yan Yan said, "This subordinate has already sent people to look for them."

The King of Shu continued, "Tingyu must have gone to find the Second Prince. I heard that the Second Prince summoned many people to his residence."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

Shen Yue, Fa Yuan, and other extremely intelligent people suddenly showed even more confusion on their faces.

Since they arrived at the scene immediately after the incident and have been by the prince's side the whole time, no one has come to report this.

Or perhaps, His Highness the Second Prince summoned them long ago?

Did the prince know from the beginning?
The King of Shu smiled and asked, "Yan Yan, how long will it take for Dian Junming's troops to arrive at Yizhou City?"

Yan Yan said, "The earliest we can arrive is the day after tomorrow, but I think that little bastard Dian Junming will not lead the main army. Instead, he will lead a forced march first, with at least five thousand men. If that's the speed, we will arrive tonight."

Yan Yan looked at the solemn-faced crowd and spoke again: "Yao Zhi'en is making arrangements and knows what to do. You can all rest assured that His Highness has made all the arrangements. You can stay here."

Upon hearing this, Fa Yuan bowed to the King of Shu.

But in fact, this old man, who had been serving in Shu before the King of Shu came to Shu, really wanted to say a few words about why Dian Junming was like this!
After all, he was one of the five great generals of Shu!

Yan Yan was originally stationed on the frontier, confronting the Tubo (Tibetan) forces.

Shi Jingtang was a general who followed the prince when they fought in the northern desert.

Yao Zhi'en was promoted only a few years ago. He is truly capable. In terms of military strategy, strength, and morale, he is worthy of the title of general. In particular, his military achievements are the result of his hard work and dedication.

The remaining two, Wang Mang and Dian Junming, were both bodyguards who had served the prince since his youth.

Dian Junming, in particular, was extremely loyal. No matter how many times the court tried to requisition him, he refused to leave the Shu region, even when he defied the imperial decree.

But
Why has Dian Junming caused such a mess?

Who misled them?

Thinking this, Fa Yuan's expression froze, and he looked around.

The people present were all powerful figures in Shu, and all of them were present except for the deceased Guo Fu.

but.
Where is Mr. Zhang?

Mr. Fang wasn't there because he left a few days ago, saying he was handling personal matters.

Where is Mr. Zhang?

"Your Highness, the Princess has arrived." At this moment, a servant from the Prince's residence stepped forward to report.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent and looked toward the entrance to the courtyard.

The first thing they saw was still that pitch-black mountain lord, which was extremely terrifying.

However, when everyone looked closely, they discovered that the mountain lord's face was covered in blood, and his body was also covered in blood, especially his large claws, which were mixed with blood and mud.

After Xia Tingyu jumped off the tiger, she patted the tiger's head.

Black Tiger lay down on the ground, but kept his eyes fixed on the small lake in front of him.

As everyone stared in astonishment at the black tiger, they watched as the princess approached.

"Greetings, Father King." Xia Tingyu bowed to the King of Shu.

The King of Shu looked at Xia Tingyu and asked, "Where is the second son?"

Xia Tingyu tilted her head and glanced at the uncollected body of Guo Fu and another corpse on the ground. "I broke both of his legs. Aunt Chen has been taking care of him and hasn't left the house for the past year and a half."

After saying that, he looked at Yan Yan and said, "Looks like it was you who killed him?"

Yan Yan nodded.

The King of Shu then asked, "Where are the officials gathered in his residence?"

Xia Tingyu replied, "It's getting in my way."

Everyone looked at Xia Tingyu in confusion, what was she saying?
Xia Tingyu sat down on the stone bench without any restraint.

The King of Shu asked, "Are they all dead?"

Xia Tingyu replied, "Yes."

"Twenty-three people, plus Guo Fu and Zhao Song, that makes a total of twenty-five. Second brother, you should kill them too."

"If Yun has done something wrong, it doesn't warrant death."

"Still too kind."

"It's none of your business."

"Those officials, did you eat your tiger?"

"It killed some, but didn't eat them; it doesn't eat human flesh." "It's well-fed. But if it doesn't eat human flesh, it's lacking a bit of ferocity."

"It thinks it's dirty."

"Heh. No wonder he's staring at the lake; he seems to want to take a bath. But Mr. Zhang, is he dead?"

"The head was cut off, but it wasn't brought back."

"Pity."

"When will my master come back?"

"Mr. Fang didn't tell me before he left."

"You didn't tell me where you went?"

"Sword Pavilion".

"Oh."

"Don't you have any more questions for your father?"

"Asking won't help."

"Hehe, Wang Mang must have already mobilized his troops and gone to the city wall."

"I don't know. But Ruoyun said that Uncle Wang mobilized troops outside the city, not to defend the city."

"Yao Zhi'en has also gone to mobilize troops."

"What if Uncle Wang were to betray Yao Zhi'en entirely?"

Upon hearing this, the King of Shu turned to look at his daughter, not answering Xia Tingyu's question, but instead asking, "Do you know what will happen after Dian Junming does this?"

Xia Tingyu, sitting on a stone bench, was not as reserved as the other officials and answered casually, "Zhu Huang and Wen Daoji have a reason to enter Shu."

The King of Shu smiled and said, "He never needs a reason to enter Shu, only an imperial edict. That man does nothing for a reason."

As he spoke, the King of Shu looked at the black tiger that had suddenly jumped into the lake and smiled. “It’s nothing. You can send someone to Yao Yuanzai’s place.”

Xia Tingyu hummed in agreement: "I will kill Dian Junming."

The King of Shu said, “When you were a child, your Uncle Dian said that you should study more because he admired scholars the most. He was poor when he was a child, so he did not study and it has always been his regret.”

Xia Tingyu looked at her father.

of course
People around them were also watching the father and daughter.

Everyone looked surprised!

Even Shen Yue, Fa Yuan, and Yan Yan were all surprised.

Because the content of what these two were saying, back and forth, was too outrageous!
At first glance!
Especially in the current situation, such a seemingly leisurely conversation is quite abnormal.

The father and daughter, in particular, seemed to have gone mad, spouting things like tigers eating people.

There is other content
The Second Prince had both his legs broken.

The officials gathered there.
Everyone knew that Guo Fu and his group had been restless ever since that incident. After all, the strength the court had demonstrated no longer allowed them to have any illusions, and they would do whatever it took to save their lives.

but now.
Twenty-five people?

All dead?
No wonder the prince killed Guo Fu and Zhao Song directly.

But all twenty-odd officials died at the Second Prince's place?!

and also
Is Mr. Fang the Grand Princess's mentor?

When did these events occur? Aren't they basically unrelated?
If that's the case, wouldn't that old sect leader Yi Zixuan be the Grand Princess's advisor?

No wonder she spoke up for the eldest princess as soon as she arrived.

And
Mr. Zhang is dead!
Mr. Fang went to Jiange.

Mr. Zhang isn't the legendary Grandmaster of the Ultimate Realm?!
What is Mr. Fang doing going to Jiange at a time like this?
And Wang Mang mobilized troops, not to defend the city?

Why did the eldest princess suddenly ask what would happen if Wang Mang raised an army because of Yao's favor?
Everyone stared at the father and daughter in astonishment.

Xia Tingyu asked, "I remember he used to always tell me to study hard."

Pfft!
Just as Xia Tingyu finished speaking, the big black tiger jumped directly into the lake, as if it wanted to take a bath.

The King of Shu looked at the black tiger and said, "Gentlemen, please take a seat here. Dian Junming's army is not coming yet, so there's no need to be in such a hurry."

Fa Yuan stepped forward: "Your Highness, you should go up to the city wall to encourage the soldiers."

Xia Tingyu said, "I'll go."

The King of Shu said, "There's no need to go."

Then the King of Shu said, "Wait a moment, let's go to the main hall."

At this point, the King of Shu laughed, looking at the black tiger in the lake and saying, "You black tiger, you can even catch fish in the lake. You caught such a big fish."

Shen Yue and Fa Yuan exchanged glances. To put it simply, the prince had been acting strangely ever since that day, and he was still behaving this way now!

At this moment, the King of Shu turned to look at Xia Tingyu and said, "I wish to marry you because of Yao's kindness."

Xia Tingyu said, "I have someone I want to marry."

……

The Imperial Palace in Beijing.

"Ah!"
