Evil of all ages

Chapter 206 The Era of Our Xu Family Has Arrived

This reduced the strength in his hands.

Fortunately, his maternal family held considerable influence within the military group, possessing both wealth and military strength.

One thousand soldiers

Three thousand private soldiers
Five thousand patrol soldiers
They were not only equipped with military equipment, but some of them also wore armor.

The powerful figures from Blackwater City have arrived.

Furthermore, the Shadow Pavilion promised to fully support him.

There are three major assassin organizations in the capital.

阴司
Broken Soul Tower

Shadow Pavilion

Yinsi is the number one assassin organization in the martial arts world. It only has a base in the capital. Apart from Yinsi, Duanhunlou and Anyingge are local forces.

With soldiers, assassins, and powerful figures, Li Yanliang was not afraid at all, and he led his men toward the palace.

Princess Pingyang's Residence
Di Qingtian returned early to keep an eye on Princess Pingyang.

Knowing that this period would be chaotic, he invited his master to the mansion to oversee things.

When Li Feiyan saw that her husband had returned just to keep an eye on her, she smiled but said nothing.

Anyway, she's not ready yet. This time she'll behave herself and do nothing, but next time might be a different story.

"Husband, does it look good?"

However, there is still some time before dawn.

With things still unsettled outside, many people can't sleep, so they might as well use this time to have a baby.

To this end, she put on sexy lingerie and deliberately twirled around in front of her husband.

Di Qingtian was a respectable man, but considering his age, he realized he really should have a child.

He got up and carried Princess Pingyang to bed.

Prime Minister's Residence

Gao Ge looked like he was still in shock.

Just now, more than a dozen highly skilled men in black broke in and started killing anyone they saw.

The two leading figures were late-stage Innate Realm experts.

Their family's innate offerings couldn't withstand the attack at all; they all died in moments.

Just as a black-clad man, also at the Innate level, lunged at him, he thought he was doomed.

The man in black who stabbed at him seemed to be offering his head to his grandfather, who then smashed it to pieces.

This left him dumbfounded.

This is still his health-conscious grandfather.

Before he could even exclaim in surprise, his grandfather moved.

They crushed the intruders in black as easily as swatting ants, killing them all, including the two late-stage Innate Realm experts who were leading them.

He only came to his senses when he saw his grandfather call the servants in to deal with the body on the ground.

"Grandpa, who are these people?"

Despite having some suspicions, Gao Ge still wanted to confirm it.

"Sent by the emperor, they don't trust me and want to drag me down with them."

Gao He said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Gao Ge thought to himself, "Just as I suspected."

"Grandpa, what's your strength?"

Gao Ge was full of curiosity about how her grandfather could be so powerful.

"What, you look down on people who value health?"

Gao He smiled and asked in return.

"Grandpa, that's not what I meant. It's just that you don't seem like someone who knows martial arts at all."

"Suddenly becoming a martial arts master is a bit overwhelming."

"Gao Ge said."

"Health preservation, to put it simply, is about exploring the way of life."

"The more insightful you are, the more you will gain, including power."

Gao He replied while sipping his tea.

Gao Ge thought his grandfather's words were very profound, but he couldn't understand how they were so clear.

However, he understood that it was because his grandfather had a high level of moral character that he could easily obtain things that others could not.

He's young, and even if he wanted the strength, he couldn't imitate his grandfather's health preservation skills.

"Grandpa, between the eldest prince and the third prince, who will have the last laugh?"

Gao Ge asked.

"Compared to the Demon Queen, they're still a bit too green." Gao He shook his head, indicating that he didn't think highly of either of them.

"Ah, if the Empress Dowager wins in the end and seizes power, then our Gao family..."

Gao Ge became a little worried.

"Don't worry, she's not surnamed Li, she can't control this court."

"She'll be in the limelight for at most two or three years, but then she'll definitely suffer the consequences."

"We don't need to compete with her; we'll just wait for her downfall."

Gao He wasn't worried at all, as if he could see the future situation very clearly.

Upon hearing this, Gao Ge felt relieved. His grandfather was a veteran of four reigns, and now that His Majesty had passed away, once things settled down, his grandfather would be a veteran of five reigns.

When it comes to being shrewd and calculating, no one can compare to his grandfather.

The Carefree Prince's Mansion

"understood"

As soon as Li Zhentian came out of the training room, the Dark Dragon Guards immediately appeared.

Not only were the emperor's death reported, but the eldest and third princes were also leading their troops toward the palace, along with the movements of other forces.

Upon hearing of his elder brother's passing, Li Zhentian showed no grief, as if his brother were merely a worker to him.

He waved for the Dark Dragon Guards to leave, then went into the courtyard, lay down on a recliner, and squinted, letting his concubine massage him.

He had no intention of interfering in what happened next.

Because no matter who comes to power, they are just temporary tools to manage the world for him.

His focus remained on becoming a grandmaster.

If he wanted to become emperor, he wouldn't need to do anything; he could simply take out the imperial edict from his study.

Inside the study were his elder brother's actual will and other imperial edicts, including blank ones.

The blank imperial edict was his way of writing down whatever he wanted.

These were all secretly given to the emperor by someone before he went to the southern prison.

Besides his elder brother's will, he also had the late emperor's will.

They all said that he could become emperor whenever he wanted.

Let alone the imperial edict, even without the edicts left by the late emperor and his elder brother.

As long as he goes to Grandmaster Zhiqiang of the Li royal family and expresses his desire to become emperor, Grandmaster Zhiqiang of the Li royal family will support him without hesitation.

It all depends on his decision.

So all the power struggles and coups outside were child's play to him, and he had absolutely no interest in getting involved.

"Ghost King"

After squinting for a moment, Li Zhentian muttered the words "Ghost King" to himself.

Because with the information he had, he couldn't be sure if the Ghost King was a time traveler.
Is it a demon from beyond the realm?
Or is it something else unknown?

He dared not approach the Ghost King.

Because the existence of the unknown brings too many uncertainties.

All he could do was observe, and observe some more...

Only after confirming the Ghost King's background would he dare to make contact with him.

Royal Palace
“Brother, we are confident in the abilities of the First Prince and the Third Prince, but before His Majesty passed away, he uttered the word ‘Xiaoyao’ (逍遥, meaning carefree and unrestrained), which must refer to the Prince Xiaoyao.”

"What if the Carefree Prince comes out to fight for it?"

Xu Yunxue asked worriedly.

"I have already had people keeping an eye on the Prince of Xiaoyao's residence, but so far there has been no movement from the Prince of Xiaoyao's residence."

"Perhaps the Prince of Leisure just wants to be a carefree and idle prince."

"Don't worry about him. If he wants to be a lazy prince, let him be one."

In fact, Xu Yushu had heard some secret rumors about the Carefree King in the early days, but he couldn't be sure if they were true or false at the time.

If it's true, everything they do is laughable.

So he preferred to believe it was fake.

The fact that there's no movement at the Prince of Xiaoyao's residence is the best news.

"I know."

Although her elder brother spoke casually, Xu Yunxue could still sense from his tone that he was extremely wary of the Carefree King.

No, it's not fear.

It's fear!
It's fear!
Although she didn't know what her elder brother feared, she knew that the Prince of Xiaoyao was not to be trifled with.

It cannot be touched, either now or in the future.

"Dawn is breaking, and soon everything will be settled. The era of our Xu family has begun."

After Xu Yushu finished speaking, he went down to make preparations.
