The daughter of the emperor returned to Beijing and got into trouble with the abstinent prince.

Chapter 128 Disaster in Qingcheng
Xiyuan Shangyang City

In the palace, within a short period of more than a month, the throne of Xiyuan changed hands one after another. The Jiang family's reckless fight for the throne surprised everyone in the court and the country.

Even Jiang Xiubai was confused. As Jiang Renxuan's son, he naturally knew his father's ambitions.

Why are they in such a hurry?
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince has set out for the border of Eastern Jin. He will arrive by water in seven days at the latest."

Shui Lin was in the imperial study and began to report the latest developments of the four countries to Jiang Renxuan.

Jiang Renxuan nodded and asked again:

"Is there any movement over in Nanliang?"

Once the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Western Yuan Dynasty went to war, what they feared most was the intervention of the Northern Xia and the Southern Liang.

Since Beixia is also married to Xiyuan, there is no need to worry. As for Nanliang.
"Prince Nanliang has taken sick leave. The internal strife in the court continues. I am afraid I am unable to distract you. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

After Shui Lin finished speaking, he thought for a moment and then said:

"Your Majesty, this charge is ultimately my unilateral statement. Dong Jin has no motive to assassinate the late emperor. It is better to create a more intuitive charge."

Jiang Renxuan looked at Shui Lin and trusted this confidant very much.

"My dear, if you have any ideas, just tell me directly."

Shui Lin bowed to Jiang Renxuan, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

"Qingcheng. Your Majesty, Qingcheng has been suffering from drought for many years, and its economy and trade are backward. The fire a while ago should have disappeared. Moreover, as far as I know, when the crown prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty came, he had a conflict with the governor there. It's a good opportunity to use this opportunity."

At this point, Shui Lin's face showed a cruel look, and he said two words in a flat tone.

"Massacre the city."

Since you are afraid of not having a legitimate reason, how can you deny the obvious bloodshed that is known to everyone?
Jun Yanci has always been known for his cruelty and ruthlessness. Why not use him to defeat the Eastern Jin Dynasty?

Jiang Renxuan was silent for a moment, and immediately gave the military token to Shui Lin.

"You should go in person this time. Don't let me down."

After Shui Lin received the military order, he immediately led his troops towards Qingcheng.

Jiang Xiubai's face was pale. He came in without saying a word.

"Why didn't you say anything when you came in?"

Jiang Renxuan was originally concentrating on looking at the map, which had various lines and arrows drawn on it, each of which was an alternative route for attacking the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Jiang Xiubai sighed silently, and finally decided to speak out.

"Father, Qingcheng is the people of Xiyuan."

But Jiang Renxuan did not respond to him. Instead, he re-marked the signs on the map before looking up.

"Xiu Bai, do you know how you are inferior to your brother?"

Jiang Xiubai lowered his eyes, then slowly raised his gaze, his jade-like face expressionless.

"Compared to your status as a bastard, your indecision is your most fatal weakness. I allow you to go to Tianqing Gate, not only for the Jiang family, but also for yourself. In the future, you will be an idle prince in Shangyang City, and don't interfere in the affairs of the court anymore."

After saying that, Jiang Renxuan waved his hand and motioned him to go out.

In fact, in the early years, Jiang Xiubai was not taken seriously. If he had not been accepted as a disciple by Sect Master Ming Chong and entered the Tianqing Sect, his current situation would probably be even more difficult.

Although Mrs. Jiang was a palace maid, she was deeply loved by Jiang Renxuan and she went against all odds and asked for the late emperor's permission for marriage.

But things did not go as planned. After giving birth to Jiang Liya, the lady died of hemorrhage and could not be saved.

Jiang Xiubai stood at the palace gate and looked back at the palace wall deeply.

Afterwards, he resolutely rode his horse to the dock and boarded a ship heading to Qingcheng.

Eizan Tenshomon

The drizzle in the forest brushed the leaves gently like silk, making a rustling sound. The raindrops fell on the grass, and the sound of the stream and the rain intertwined, making it more vibrant.

There were also the sounds of people playing chess. In a loft on a mountain peak, three figures were seen fighting each other. If you didn't know better, you would think they were practicing martial arts.

Yun Qianyi: "Hey, Uncle Master, you are so old now, why are you still regretting your moves?"

Master Ming Chong: "You two against one, how can I react? Give me back this chess piece!"

Jun Yanci: "Uncle Master, we should not be disrespectful to our elders."

The leader of Ming Chong Sect said: "You kid, you are not allowed to offend your superiors."

Yun Qianyi: "You have so many things in your treasure pavilion, they are all covered in dust. What's wrong with losing two of them to us?"

Master Ming Chong: "Are those two? You are such a thief, you took a whole basket at a time."

Jun Yanci: "I'm willing to admit defeat, Uncle Master, you lost again."

Master Ming Chong: "."

My mother tongue is speechless.

Jun Yanci's chess playing style is the same as himself, he always has two plans, so you can defend the front but not worry about the back.

There is no doubt about losing.

Yun Qianyi smiled cunningly like a little fox and started biting Jun Yanci while holding him.

Her A-Yan is indeed amazing.

I remember when they were in the capital, the two of them played chess. Yun Qianyi only explained the rules to Jun Yanci once, and he remembered them.

Except for the first game where I lost when I was familiar with the rules, there was nothing else after that.

Especially when Yun Qianyi discovered that every step he took was calculated by Jun Yanci, he surrendered voluntarily.

The leader of the Mingchong Sect leaned back and looked up with a look of despair.

"Go, go, take them all."

At this moment, Xuan Liu and Meng Chen came up. Both of them looked unhappy. After looking at each other, they decided that Meng Chen would tell them the news.

"Your Highness, Miss Yun, the new emperor of Xiyuan has passed away, and the regent Jiang Renxuan has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. The eldest son of the emperor, Jiang Tingsheng, has brought an army of 100,000 and is preparing to declare war on our Eastern Jin."

Yun Qianyi raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's the reason?"

Countries cannot declare war without a reason.

"Xiyuan announced to the public that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who murdered the new emperor."

When Jun Yanci put away the chess piece, he slightly curled the corners of his mouth and sneered silently.

"Xiyuan is good at naval warfare, so they will definitely take the water route and attack Sucheng first. There are 50,000 troops stationed in Longcheng, so 40,000 will be deployed to Sucheng first. After the reinforcements from the capital arrive, the remaining 10,000 will also be sent to Sucheng."

After hearing Jun Yanci's calm analysis, Meng Chen immediately followed his instructions and began to reorganize the accompanying troops and prepare to set off.

After Yun Qianyi and Jun Yanci came down, she noticed Xuan Liu's frowning brows and the troubled look on his face. She took the initiative to ask:
"Xuan Liu, is there anything else?"

Xuan Liu glanced at Jun Yanci. He was the person who had been with Jun Yanci and Yun Qianyi for the longest time, so he naturally knew their personalities.

So, he told Xuan Shi the news.

"Miss Yun, Your Highness, there is news that Qingcheng may be in danger of being destroyed, and 10,000 troops have already headed towards Qingcheng. I'm afraid this crime will also be pinned on Dongjin."

Yun Qianyi's pupils suddenly contracted, and she tightened her grip on Jun Yanci's hand abruptly.

Meng Chen saw Yun Qianyi's expression and immediately advised:

"Miss Yun, think twice. Qingcheng is the city of Xiyuan and has nothing to do with our Eastern Jin. We have saved this city before. Now, it is the Xiyuan court that has abandoned them. We must rush back to Longcheng as soon as possible!"

Yun Qianyi certainly knew all this, but what could never leave her mind was that innocent face and the steamed bun that was given to her by her own hands.
