I, make my own

Chapter 23 Murderous Bloom

Qionghan Palace.

"what?!"

Hearing the report from the confidant maid, Lin Menghan stood up instantly in shock, and the porcelain bowl in his hand fell weakly, and it fell apart with a crisp sound.

The sudden upheaval caught her off guard, and she was not mentally prepared at all.

"This self-righteous bastard! How many times have I told him to plan before acting and plan before acting! He just doesn't listen!"

Lin Menghan's chest heaved with anger, and his eyes were full of anger.

From her point of view, Wang Xihe's encounter was obviously carefully arranged by someone with a heart, and the conspiracy behind it was definitely not that simple. The black hand behind the scenes might have nothing to do with the general.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Lan still wanted to raise troops, and his decision could not be described as "reckless" at all.

"Princess, what should I do now? If you want to stop King Wei, I'm afraid you have to come forward in person."

The maid said in a low voice, her eyes full of worry.

"That's too late!"

Lin Menghan gritted his teeth and snorted coldly. After struggling for a while, his eyes suddenly became hard.

"For the current plan, the only way is to bite the bullet!"

"Orders! First, let Qian Shuang and others go to the imperial army. Cheng Long is powerful, and the generals such as Vice General Lin may not be able to kill them successfully. Let them assist, and the imperial army will never have any problems here!"

"When the imperial army is under control, the palace will be completely sealed off, and the Qiong'an Palace will be wiped out! As for the emperor, let's save his life first, and kill him when the situation is clear."

"Secondly, send a letter to the prime minister and ask him to arrange people to hunt and kill the target according to the previously drawn list!"

"The third..."

……

General's House.

At this time it was past midnight, Hu Zhizhuo was sleeping with two concubines on the spacious bed, when suddenly there was an anxious shout from outside the room.

"General! Something big happened!"

Hu Zhizhuo, who had just arrived at the key point, was startled suddenly, and was so frightened by the sound that he fell limp on the bed.

"What's the matter?"

Hu Zhizhuo was extremely dissatisfied and shouted at the outside, still reluctant to leave Ruanxiang.

"General, someone shot a secret letter into the mansion. The secret letter said: King Wei is going to rebel tonight, and he is leading people straight to the mansion to kill him!"

Hearing the response, Hu Zhizhuo was startled first, then laughed out loud.

"Straight mother! Can you believe this kind of nonsense? Hmph! Killing the general's mansion, that little boy of King Wei has the guts?"

Hearing Hu Zhizhuo's indifferent words, the voice outside the room was even more anxious.

"General! This kind of thing, I'd rather believe it than believe it! The most important thing is that the signer is Mr. Yan, the owner of Tianji Building!"

Hu Zhizhuo didn't pay much attention at first, but when he heard the word "Yan Gongzi", his round face suddenly changed, and then he got out of bed with extremely quick movements, put on his clothes, and rushed out of the bed.

"You son of a bitch, even if this matter is true, why did Mr. Yan warn the general?"

Hu Zhizhuo stared at the middle-aged man in black with a sweaty forehead and a goatee outside the room, his eyes were uncertain.

The middle-aged man in black smiled bitterly, and shouted anxiously: "General, maybe he wants to show his favor to us and ask for some special reward in the future, but now is not the time to think about these things!"

"Nonsense, how could this general not know?"

Hu Zhizhuo glared at the middle-aged man again, and then quickly ordered: "Li Ruo, you immediately send someone to send a letter to He Yan Feiniao, ordering him to send his cronies to guard the gates of the Sifang City, no matter who wants to leave the city or enter the city, no one is allowed." Let it go, even if you have the sacred decree!"

"Be especially careful not to let the troops outside the city guarding the imperial capital enter the city! This general suspects that they will mobilize the troops outside the city!"

"Yes!"

Li Ruo quickly took the order, and then reminded: "General, there may be danger in the queen mother's place, so I have to send a message to let the queen mother leave the palace temporarily through the secret passage to avoid disaster."

"This general knows."

Hu Zhizhuo grumbled in dissatisfaction. Li Ruo knew that the general's old habit of being self-righteous had committed again, but the situation was critical, so he still bit the bullet and continued to remind.

"Yes! Also, General, since King Wei dared to come to the General's Mansion, he is absolutely sure. You should ask Lord Zhijinwuhe to mobilize the Tiqi Guards to quickly come to support..."

Hu Zhizhuo sneered disdainfully upon hearing this.

"What a joke! The General's Mansion not only has a thousand elite guards, but also five hundred dark scale guards. Even the trash raised by King Wei can pose a threat to this general?"

Li Ruo was tired for a while, but for the sake of his future and his life, he could only continue to persuade him earnestly.

"General, don't be afraid of [-], just in case! King Wei might have colluded with unknown forces, if not, he wouldn't dare to come!"

"Besides, it won't take much to mobilize the Tiqi Guards..."

"All right, this general understands, let's do as you say."

Hu Zhizhuo waved his hands irritably, and walked towards the military equipment room with his big belly out.

He wants to put on the tough and sharp, and kill all the offenders in the future!
……

Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Zizi has no plan, what happened tonight, I'm afraid, it's a disaster rather than a blessing..."

In the study, Lin Zhengqing put down several secret letters in his hand, and muttered to himself with a gloomy expression.

In fact, he was not at all enthusiastic about helping Zhou Lan win the throne, and was even quite resistant.

Because he is already an extremely human minister, and the current emperor is just a puppet, he has no pressure at all.

But it would be different if Zhou Lan was in power. The other party was his grandson after all, so how could he compete with his grandson for power?
Furthermore, he also understands Zhou Lan's temperament quite well. If he fails, he will be forced to retire, which is an end he absolutely does not want to see.

"Patriarch, the current situation is already on the verge of death, and we have no choice but to act..."

Sitting by the window, an old man in green robes who seemed to be very old and frail said softly while bowing his waist.

Lin Zhengqing naturally understood what the old man meant. No matter what he thought of Zhou Lan, he, Zhou Lan, and Concubine Qionghan were all in the same boat. If the latter two were in trouble, he would not be able to escape.

After rubbing his temples and sighing softly, Lin Zhengqing took a deep breath and made a decision.

"The hunting plan can be carried out, but if Liu Shangshu is to take the lead, all traces of the prime minister's office in this matter must be cleaned up."

"Also, send someone to keep an eye on the imperial army, and report back immediately if things fail!"

"Is the owner worried about the little emperor?"

The old man in green robe was surprised and a little puzzled.

"I always feel that the little emperor seems to be a little different, I hope it's just me thinking too much."

Lin Zhengqing shook his head, then fell in love with closing his eyes and resting his mind.

……

It was dark at night, and the lights of Wanjia had long been extinguished, but as the night wind howled slowly, amazing murderous intentions began to bloom in many corners.

On the second quarter of the ugly first day, Tai Chi Hall.

Zhou Xin sat on the throne with a blank expression on his face. Although he was holding a book in his hand, it hadn't been turned for a long time.

Not far from the imperial case, Leng Yun bent his waist, stared at his toes and remained motionless, but Lingshen was paying attention to all the changes around him, guarding against possible assassinations.

At a certain moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall, and they kept approaching the door of the hall, obviously they were never stopped by the guards on duty.

Not long after, Cheng Long, fully armed and blood-stained, entered the hall.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, although there were some twists and turns in the process, the overall situation has been settled, and the imperial army is completely in hand!"

Zhou Xin's eyes lit up, and his heart was finally relieved.

"twists and turns?"

"Yes!"

Cheng Long nodded respectfully, and said solemnly:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Qionghan sent someone here, and they are a ninth-rank early stage expert and five eighth-rank masters."

"Fortunately, they came a bit late and did not cause any trouble."

"Oh? In that case, her background is not bad."

Zhou Xin raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

"Your Majesty, through the fight, I feel that they should be people in the Jianghu."

"People in the rivers and lakes..."

Zhou Xin squinted his eyes, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Let's investigate this matter later. Cheng Long, Leng Yun."

"exist!"

"Since the imperial army has been sorted out, it's time for a big cleansing of the other ghosts and snake gods in the palace! Especially the two palaces of Joan An and Qiong Han, I have sealed them off, and no one can come in or out!"

"According to the order!"

……

It's time for the ugly, the General's Mansion.

At this moment, the majestic and solemn General's Mansion has long been stained red with blood and flames. Amidst the fierce shouts of killing, two teams, one silver and one red, are fighting for their lives.

Looking down from above the battlefield, although the Silver Armor army occupies a favorable position, they are still beaten and retreated steadily.

The reason for this is not because the red armor army is so strong, but because there are mysterious men in black mixed in the team from time to time to hunt and kill the generals and officers of the silver armor army.

The number of these men in black was not many, only about a hundred, but their strength was extremely good, and their ability to shoot cold arrows in secret was quite superb, which made the battle favor the red-armored army.

As time continued to pass, the Silver Armored Army had already lost most of its positions, and the remaining four or five hundred soldiers were forced to the horse riding field in the middle of the General's Mansion.

With the development of the war situation to this point, the two sides finally broke away from the fighting for the time being.

On the side of the red-armored army, Zhou Lan strode out with a gap in the dense array, followed by several men in black.

"Hu Laozhu! Get out of here!"

Hearing Zhou Lan's angry shout, Hu Zhizhuo, with his left arm drooping, walked out of the shield wall with a gloomy face.

He didn't look at Zhou Lan first, but stared at a tall man in black on the right side of Zhou Lan.

As a military commander known for his bravery, his strength is not weak. His cultivation in the mid-ninth rank is as famous as Cheng Long, the commander of the imperial army.

That's why he didn't take Zhou Lan seriously.

However, when the battle started, before he could show his might, he was targeted by the man in black.

As soon as the two sides fought, he was at a disadvantage. After a fierce fight, he almost lost his left arm!
There is no doubt that the opponent is a master of the late ninth rank, and the level of martial arts is quite good.

"You guys, who are you?!"

Hu Zhizhuo glared at the tall man in black with hatred, and roared with gritted teeth.

If there were no men in black, his guards and the dark scale guards would have killed Zhou Lan's people to the brim!
But with the addition of these men in black, the situation is completely reversed. How can he not hate it?
However, in the face of his shouting and questioning, all the masked men in black remained silent, and no one responded.
