In a chaotic and famine-stricken era, I picked up an empress to be my wife.

Princess Gaoping's beautiful eyes flashed with murderous intent: "That man named Shen An claims to be a descendant of the dragon, the representative of the dragon god on earth. It is said that he has some kind of divine weapon and has obtained the land of two prefectures in such a short time!"

There are many warlords in our country at present. In order to deal with them, we allow them to fight among themselves and let them wear each other down.

The previous situation was perfect; they were constantly being drained, while the imperial court was constantly developing and recovering its strength.

As one side waxed and the other waned, the imperial court's power grew increasingly stronger.

But Shen An is different from others; he has shown great potential and may annex more prefectures in the future.

If we don't eliminate him soon, he might become a major threat to our dynasty!

The imposter Dugu Meng has exactly that intention!

She didn't care whether Shen An had potential or not; she only felt that Shen An might be related to the real Dugu Meng.

She had to kill Shen An.

"Aunt is absolutely right, but how should we get rid of him? Should we mobilize a large army, or order the surrounding warlords to rise up and attack him?"

"Your Majesty, your army needs rest and recuperation right now. It is not the time to send troops. As for those warlords, they simply do not obey orders and cannot be commanded."

"What should we do?"

"Send someone to assassinate him! No matter how much potential Shen An has, he is still just flesh and blood. As long as we find an opportunity, we can kill him!" Princess Gaoping said.

"This method is excellent. However, I believe that to nip the problem in the bud, we must eliminate the root cause. We cannot simply kill Shen An; we must kill everyone around him after killing Shen An!" The imposter Dugu Meng coughed lightly, fearing that Princess Gaoping would suspect her true intentions, and immediately explained, "By doing this, I might accidentally kill some innocent people, but killing some innocent people can ensure that the foundation of my Great Liang Dynasty is not shaken, so it is worthwhile!"

Princess Gaoping had no doubts: "Your Majesty is right. To cut the weeds, one must nip them in the bud. The current situation is largely due to the late Emperor's failure to be ruthless enough to eliminate the weeds at their root! Your Majesty's ability to have this idea shows that you have learned from the late Emperor's mistakes. This is truly a blessing for our Great Liang!"

The imposter Dugu Meng even added, "I have this idea precisely because I have learned from the lessons of the late emperor's failures."

However, regarding the assassination attempt, who does Aunt think is suitable to send?

"Your Majesty need not worry about this matter. I will handle it and share Your Majesty's burden!" Princess Gaoping volunteered.

"Very well, that would be perfect! Then I'll have to trouble you, Aunt!"

The imposter Dugu Meng did not refuse. Although she said she would also have the Divine Dragon Society send people to assassinate her, Princess Gaoping controlled the famous Wolf Killing organization in the martial arts world.

This organization is involved in both murder and killing; by doing so, they will surely be able to kill Shen An.

If the real Dugu Meng were by his side, he would surely be able to kill him!

After the two parted ways, Princess Gaoping immediately ordered the Wolf Killing Organization to dispatch experts to the southeastern prefecture, to go wherever Shen An was, and to kill him at all costs.

The imposter Dugu Meng then ordered someone to inform the head of the outer court of the Southeast Prefecture of the Divine Dragon Society, instructing him to kill Shen An and everyone around him no matter what!

at the same time.

The events in the southeastern prefecture also reached the ears of Luo Li's father, the current prime minister, Luo Tian.

He was drinking tea in his residence at the moment. Although his hair was completely white, one could still tell that he was very handsome when he was young.

He stood up and clapped three times in a row, then had someone call Luo Li over.

Upon learning of Shen An's achievements in the Southeast Prefecture, Luo Li's face was filled with pride: "Father, did you see that? I told you Shen An was far more capable than you imagined! In just a few days, he's already defeated Yuwen Qin and Li Huaiyi!"

"Indeed impressive, but a powerful person is a threat if they are not on our side!" Luo Tian stroked his beard, speaking to his daughter with the gentlest tone possible, completely different from the ruthless and cunning prime minister in the court.

Luo Li didn't deny it: "Father, so you mean you absolutely have to win Shen An over to your side?"

"That's right, we have to win him over, otherwise if someone else wins him over, I won't be able to eat or sleep properly! If you want him to live a good life, you should try your best to win him over."

"Father, I will absolutely not let you hurt him. I will definitely win him over. In the future, who knows, he might even become your son-in-law!"

"Haha, I'm actually looking forward to it."

"So, Father, you're saying you'd let me marry Shen An in the future?" Luo Li's eyes widened.

"Shen An is a talented young man, and I've heard you're quite good-looking. I'm naturally willing, but on one condition!" Luo Tian paused, emphasizing each word, "He must be one of us!"

"He's impotent, yet he's still willing?" Luo Li asked again.

"Impotent? Are you kidding me? How could such a talented young man be impotent?" Luo Tian simply didn't believe it.

"It's true! We call each other sisters now!"

"Then let's call each other sisters. Remember, whatever you are, you'll always be one of us!"

"Um!"

Luo Li was terrified that Luo Tian would consider Shen An an enemy and kill him, so she immediately sent someone to Qingyang City without even changing her clothes.

At this moment, Shen An is preparing for battle with all his might.

These days, he found skilled craftsmen in Julu Prefecture and, following the model of Qingyang County, divided the repeating crossbows into several groups for them to manufacture.

The resources of Julu Prefecture far surpass those of Qingyang County, and in just a few days, hundreds of repeating crossbows have already been manufactured.

Adding to the 100 aircraft that Liao Bing sent earlier, there are now 200 aircraft.

But Shen An felt that this was still not enough. The three families working together would be even more difficult to deal with than before.

There is also a large shortage of crossbow bolts.

He needs more time, at least ten more days, before he can barely manage to cope!

In order to continue delaying Yuwen Bingyu, Shen An once again ordered Mr. Mingyue to keep Yuwen Bingyu occupied for at least ten more days!

Mr. Mingyue has already followed Shen An to Julu Prefecture.

He was also very troubled. Li Huaiyi should be arriving in Nanling Prefecture tomorrow. How could he delay for ten days?

Yuwen Bingyu was indeed stupid, but no matter how stupid she was, she shouldn't have been able to delay for another ten days after Li Huaiyi arrived, right?

"What? You can't do anything?" Shen An's expression darkened.

What Mr. Mingyue feared most was that Shen An would think he was useless and simply kill him.

"My lord, I'll think of a way, please don't worry!"

Mr. Mingyue scratched his head in anxiety.

Surprisingly, in his desperation, he actually came up with a solution!

"My lord, I have a way to delay Yuwen Bingyu for ten days, or even longer!"

Tell me about it!
