Last night, the pink ticket was over 150 plus Chapter 29, don't miss it.

————The following is the text———

When Yu Hui and her party arrived at the capital of the Xuan Kingdom, they were welcomed into the city by the Hua Guo army.

Hua Guo's army actually broke into the city on the seventh day of besieging Xuan Guo's capital, which far exceeded the expectations of the Emperor Xuan Guo, and was even much faster than Yu Hui imagined.The generals who greeted Yuhui were Liang Shuang and the one-armed Liang Ying, who did not have the banner of King Qi.

Yuhui thought that King Qi's status was higher than hers, so it was normal not to come to greet her, why didn't Luanming come?Is there another secret?She peeked at Liang Shuang and Liang Ying, only to see that their faces were haggard, their brows had not been relaxed, and they were unwilling to say anything in public, so it was inconvenient for her to ask any questions immediately.

Yuhui didn't worry until she was brought into the temporary barracks and got alone with Liang Shuang in private, "Deputy Commander Liang, did something bad happen?"

This bedroom is specially arranged for Yuhui to live in. Now Liang Ying and Ali settle down with others, and collect bedding and living utensils elsewhere, but they are not nearby, and the servants around are also dismissed by Liang Shuang.

Liang Shuang still didn't dare to be careless, and said in a low voice: "General Yu, His Royal Highness Qi Wang led the army to surround the capital of Xuanguo. He was afraid that the capital would be unable to attack for a long time due to the abundant food. The clever plan was passed on to His Royal Highness King Qi through me, and quickly broke into the city. This is a great thing, forcing Emperor Xuan Guo to surrender. His Highness King Qi is very proud."

Yu Hui interjected, "No wonder the buildings in the city weren't damaged much during the journey just now. It turns out that there were no street battles. So where is Emperor Xuan Guo now?"

"Emperor Xuanguo is dead." Liang Shuang sighed, and continued, "At that time, Emperor Xuanguo sent an envoy to expressly declare three conditions. The second is to hear His Royal Highness King Qi's personal promise not to kill the aristocratic ministers of the Xuan Kingdom who have surrendered, and to confer her hereditary titles; the third is to not kill her if Li Wei refuses to surrender, and to exile her to the extreme north Don't pursue it."

Yuhui was puzzled and said, "Emperor Xuanguo's request seems to be quite reasonable. Is there something wrong with the surrender ceremony?"

Liang Shuang nodded and said, "That's right. At the beginning, everyone thought that Emperor Xuan's request was acceptable except not to kill Li Wei. After all, emperors of defeated countries who voluntarily surrendered have always been granted the idle throne and imprisoned in our The surrender ceremony will be presided over by the highest general of our army. However, Li Wei has been leading the army to resist until Emperor Xuan Guo sent envoys to surrender. Li Wei still did not accept the reality. His Royal Highness King Qi originally wanted to pass Xuan Guo The emperor ordered Li Wei to commit suicide, cut grass and roots, and completely suppress Xuan Guo's vital forces. Unfortunately, the envoy was eloquent and neither humble nor overbearing. It won't be too late to rectify Li Wei."

Yuhui frowned: "This seems to be a trick, I always feel that Emperor Xuan is not the kind of person who would surrender so easily."

"That's right. At that time, the older generation of generals in the army all advocated that I preside over the ceremony in place of His Royal Highness King Qi, just in case. But His Royal Highness Qi refused to listen to the persuasion. He was provoked by the words of the envoys, and finally agreed to accept it personally. Submit the letter to the table, and ask the emperor Xuanguo and the empress dowager to remove their clothes, and kowtow to her in public to thank her." Liang Shuang paused, with a sad look in his eyes, "As General Yu expected, the emperor Xuanguo had bad intentions, and she She put poison on Jiangshu Shunbiao and Yuxi. She did not hesitate to risk her life and the entire royal family's life, but also to murder His Highness King Qi. The poison slowly penetrated into the skin, and after an hour or two, it could make people unconscious. There is no medicine. It can be solved. His Royal Highness Qi was fine at the time when he took the things. After a while, Emperor Xuanguo and his entourage fell to the ground, bleeding from all orifices and lost their breath. Thanks to our guards and military doctors who were vigilant, they spread detoxification around His Royal Highness in advance. Drugs can barely save His Highness's life."

"Ah?" Yu Hui asked in surprise, "How is Your Highness doing now?"

"His Royal Highness has maintained his sobriety for a while, and issued several orders. The first order is to kill Xuan Guo's royal family, and hunt down the ministers who refused to surrender. The second order is to purge the army. When General Yu returns, he will lead the army to the extreme north. Eliminate the last force on the side of Emperor Xuanguo's eldest daughter. The third is to arrange for the most powerful guards to guard His Royal Highness Luanming to prevent other accidents from happening. Therefore, His Royal Highness Luanming cannot rashly leave the safe place and go out of the city to meet you , he is now by His Royal Highness King Qi's side."

The first two items are easy to understand, but the third item Yu Hui thought about for a while before she understood its hidden meaning.Luanming is Yuhui's nominal husband, the son of the Emperor Hua, and the younger brother of King Qi.If there are still hidden dangers in Xuanguo, for the sake of restoring the country and treasures, they may attack and kidnap Luanming, and use him to blackmail Yuhui or King Qi.

Yu Hui said solemnly: "This time I came back not only to have some clues about the treasure, but also to bring back Senior Gui Bo, the successor of the miracle doctor. His Royal Highness Qi Wang should be able to save his life. I will go and ask Senior Gui Bo to treat His Highness Qi Wang."

Liang Shuang suddenly whispered: "General Yu, do you really hope that His Highness will wake up soon?"

Yu Hui froze for a moment and said alertly: "Deputy Marshal Liang, what do you mean?"

Liang Shuang said frankly: "General Yu was not in the army some time ago, I'm afraid there are some things you are not clear about."

Yu Hui wondered if King Qi's ambition had grown to such an obvious level that even Liang Shuang, who had always been low-key and prudent, dared to say such bold remarks directly to others?She tentatively asked: "Does His Royal Highness Qi disagree with you?"

"It's just that I personally think it's inappropriate, and I haven't exchanged views with Generals Du and General Li." Liang Shuang said euphemistically, "Most of the generals in the army are from the Yao family or have received favors from the Yao family, and they have always supported His Royal Highness. But recently there was news from central Beijing that the Holy Majesty was ill, and the overall situation of the government was slowly being handed over to His Highness the Empress Dowager. Naturally, His Highness Qi had a lot of complaints. In addition, we fought hard and conquered Xuanguo with blood and sweat , and made great contributions to the expansion of the Hua Kingdom, His Royal Highness King Qi has said in several public occasions that he was born a few days late, which is really an unfair fate."

"Deputy Marshal Liang, you have never been involved in party struggles. You should only obey the orders of the current Majesty?"

"However, since His Royal Highness Qi took over as Marshal, the general's power has been highly centralized. Except for the trusted guards, any additional soldiers must be approved by His Royal Highness." Liang Shuang lowered his voice, "In private that day, The waiter Wang said a few words and reminded me. His Royal Highness Qi Wang probably wants to take the opportunity to support himself and compete with His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager."

"That's why you don't want His Royal Highness Qi to wake up?" Yuhui smiled slightly, "You are not afraid that I have a conspiracy agreement with His Royal Highness? After all, His Royal Highness Luan Ming is my rightful husband, and I can have the status and power I have today. The Yao family also contributed a lot."

Liang Shuang's face darkened when he heard this, and he held the hilt of the sword he carried with him, and said solemnly: "Although General Yu's lightness kung fu is good, the rest of his kung fu is mediocre. At this moment, I have dismissed all your cronies. Blame me for committing crimes and doing cruel things."

Yuhui's heart trembled. It turned out that the emperor had already taken out double insurance, and it was important to ask the ghost mother-in-law to bring the secret decree. I am afraid that he had other explanations to Liang Shuang before going out.If her expression and words showed any inappropriateness today, Liang Shuang would probably attack her.Although her life may not be in danger, most likely she will lose the ability to control speech or move freely.Liang Shuang had some excuses to cover up her sudden situation to the outside world. After all, it was very dangerous for her to find the treasure, and it was normal for her to be murdered and plotted against.

Yu Hui quickly stated: "Deputy Marshal Liang, don't be impulsive. I have also received a secret decree from the Holy Majesty, asking me to monitor His Royal Highness King Qi. The secret decree was brought by His Highness Luan Ming, and the ghost mother-in-law and the waiter Wang also know about it."

After Yuhui finished speaking, she took out the imperial decree that was kept close to her and showed it to Liang Shuang.

Liang Shuang hastily read the secret decree, and his face softened a lot: "The secret decree says that there are other secret decrees kept by the ghost mother?"

Yuhui smiled bitterly and said, "I guess that was aimed at His Highness King Qi. In case something bad happens, we can have a basis to quickly seize military power. There may also be other monitoring methods, aimed at you and me, if we If you dare to have two minds, you will definitely not end well.”
