Li Chuxia clenched his fists with a look of displeasure, and suddenly an old man who asked for food, who was so thin that he only had a handful of bones left, suddenly broke into Baili Yunzheng's feet and knelt down.

"Your Excellency! Let's enjoy a small bite of rice! The old man's voice shouted.

Baili Yunzheng was helpless, took out a piece of silver from his cuffs and handed it to the old man's broken bowl.

"No, if it goes on like this, even if we have more silver, we won't be able to save the people of the whole country, and now it's all the fault of Mujing." Li Chuxia said with some opinions.

In fact, her words are not wrong at all, but it is a pity that now the eunuchs are only bent on the emperor, and the loyal ministers can only shut up and not talk about the hot and cold things in the world in order to protect themselves.

At this time, a boy dressed in linen and filial piety on the corner of the street suddenly ran over and knelt in front of Baili Yunzheng.

"General, ma'am! I am the son of the old minister who was rewarded with thirty boards at the banquet just now! Woo woo woo~" He cried as he spoke, and no matter how many miles of Yunzheng looked at him, their eyes became a little strange.

"Don't worry, speak slowly." Li Chuxia said.

"General, after you went down to the court just now, my father was given a secret order by the emperor, and his head was cut off before he left the palace, and he laughed that it was to quell the chaos. Kill a rebel! Now the villain's family is not saved, because the emperor has now ordered to go to my house to behead all the people of our nine clans, and I still heard the news sent by Minister Zhong and came to beg you. ”

The boy said while crying, seeing that he was indeed pitiful, Li Chuxia was even more angry and gritted his teeth.

When the former general of the Tiger Guard heard this, he immediately felt that the emperor was too mediocre.

"General Baili! I am willing to assist you in killing the dog emperor and wishing you to ascend to the throne. The former general of the Tiger Guard knelt down on one knee and said to Baili Yunzheng.

As soon as the boy heard this, he immediately kowtowed to Baili Yunzheng and said, "Ask General Baili to give justice to our people, don't let my father die unjustly." ”

Baili Yunzheng looked left and right, and then looked at Li Chuxia, Li Chuxia smiled and nodded at him, Baili Yunzheng immediately nodded and said, "Since you all want the emperor to abdicate, then I will help you once." ”

The boy smiled happily, and began to smile happily before the tears had fallen from his face.

Li Chuxia pulled him up, and asked him to quickly go back and bring his family to hide first so as not to be found by the emperor, and then he would definitely bring someone to make peace with them.

Li Chuxia and Baili Yunzheng discussed with the former general of Huwei, who said that he could mobilize the emperor's Praetorian Guard, and now he only needed to build momentum so that those eunuchs and Li people who submitted to Mu Jing's rule no longer trusted Mu Jing, and the matter would be twice as effective with half the effort.

After planning like this, Li Chuxia said: "Yun Zheng, don't worry about fighting, I'll finish the momentum." ”

Baili Yunzheng nodded, and discussed the transfer of troops with the former general of Huwei, Baili Yunzheng still has a few barracks in other places, and now the two of them will transfer more to the capital, just wait for the day to force the palace.

The sooner you ascend to the throne now, the sooner you can save the people and the fire.

In an inn in the suburbs that night, Li Chuxia found a few people in the city who bought all kinds of gossip, and asked them to spread bad words about Mujing in the market, saying that he was mediocre and that the country would not end well in his hands.

He also sent people to make up legends, saying that when Baili Yunzheng was born, there were purple clouds in the sky, which was the momentum that only an emperor should have.

and gave the peddler a lot of silver taels for him to buy people in the city, spread rumors and make up children's rhymes, saying that the emperor would be doomed sooner or later.

The next day, these rumors began to circulate in alleys and markets, large and small, and within a few days, those who supported Mujing began to feel that they were not safe.

They all turned against each other and said that the emperor really couldn't do it.

Suddenly, some people said that when Baili Yunzheng saved the cloud country and water and fire several times, and had the protection of the gods, he must be the talent of the king and will definitely ascend to the throne.

For a while, rumors spread in the city, and Mu Jing's originally stable government slowly began to waver, and many people who supported him defected to Baili Yunzheng's side to discuss with him about raising troops.

Baili Yunzheng gathered hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the field outside the city, and Shui Zhi also followed, saying that he would help Baili Yunzheng win the throne.

Baili Yunzheng looked at the growing team behind him, and also felt that it was fate, this wooden scene would be planted in his hands sooner or later.

Mu Jing heard rumors outside the city that Baili Yunzheng was the chosen one, and he was furious in his heart, and immediately ordered to lead the troops to arrest those who spread rumors and behead them to show the public.

But the prime minister gave Mu Jing advice at this time.

"Your Majesty, I think if you want to suppress this matter, you can't rely on strong government." The prime minister said.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the prime minister and asked, "Then what do you say!?" They can't keep speaking ill of me. ”

"No, I mean, why don't you come up with a plan!? Isn't that Baili Yunzheng a self-proclaimed chosen one? How about you invite him to the palace and promise him to give him the throne!? The prime minister said with a wicked smile.

Mu Jing was stunned, and he didn't know what was wrong with this prime minister. "Prime Minister, are you crazy! Why did I give him the throne? ”

"Your Majesty, don't you know that Lord Baili has gathered a lot of rebels outside the city, ready to come into the imperial city at any time to force you to abdicate!" The prime minister said with a serious face.

As soon as Mu Jing heard this, he immediately felt that his heart was empty, he reached out and pinched his beard, and then thought carefully for a while, and then nodded again.

"The prime minister's method is right, I have lost the hearts of the people now, but I still have a chance to assassinate him." Mu Jing said.

"That's right, that's exactly what Lao Chen meant, why bother to accidentally face those who are right and wrong, and simply kill him when he is most unprepared." The prime minister laughed like an old fox.

Mu Jing nodded, and then said: "Just do as you say, immediately summon a banquet to invite Baili Yunzheng and Li Chuxia and his wife, and say that I am willing to give up the throne to him, and I only hope that it will not cause war and chaos in the city and affect my people." ”

"Okay, the minister will go and pass the decree." The prime minister smiled and retreated.

On this day, Baili Yunzheng rested in an inn in the city, and it happened that the prime minister came to pass the decree that the emperor was willing to withdraw from the throne, and only begged him to spare the people in the city and not to cause war in the imperial city.

He also said that now the emperor has set up a banquet in the palace and invited him to take his wife to go, and he can withdraw from the throne today.

As soon as Baili Yunzheng heard this, he immediately felt that this wooden scene was really a rare one, so he took Li Chuxia to the palace for a banquet.

Baili Yunzheng knew that this palace banquet would not be so simple, and according to Mujing's character, he would definitely do something at the banquet.

After Baili Yunzheng and Li Chuxia entered the palace, night slowly fell, and the emperor set up a banquet on a flat ground near the back mountain in the palace.

The bonfire lit up the whole land, and it looked very bright everywhere, and the emperor began the feast.

Baili Yunzheng and Li Chuxia were both a little nervous looking at everything in the banquet.

"General Baili! You're so generous! After enduring me for so many years to force the palace, I feel sorry for you and your sister back then. Mu Jing pretended to be nervous and sad, lowered his head and began to sob, then stretched out his sleeve and wiped it on his face.

Li Chuxia scoffed at his acting, frowned and shook his head at Baili Yunzheng, suggesting that he should not fall into Mu Jing's trap.

Mu Jing began to toast Baili Yunzheng again.

"After today, you will be the emperor of this cloud country, I am indeed not a good emperor, and the people have quite opinions, you must not learn from me in the future." Mu Jing said and drank the wine in the cup, and at this moment, a woman in a red dance dress appeared at the banquet.

She came up and danced with the music, but Baili Yunzheng's eyes did not linger on this dancer's body, he noticed that as soon as this dancer appeared, many black shadows suddenly appeared on the palace behind her and outside the palace wall, it seemed that it was the Mujing faction at this moment, ready to sneak attack Baili Yunzheng and Li Chuxia at any time.

Baili Yunzheng was slightly nervous, and sweat flowed down his forehead.

Li Chuxia didn't notice Baili Yunzheng's nervousness, but her woman's sixth sense told her that tonight would definitely not be a peaceful night.

Baili Yunzheng watched Mu Jing act silently, but he actually concentrated his energy to pay attention to the actions of those assassins in the dark.

It is estimated that in a while, their poisonous darts will be shot towards Baili Yunzheng and them.

Halfway through the banquet, Mu Jing got up and called the palace people to bring his jade seal and talismans.

At this moment, all the bonfires on the field were extinguished in an instant.

Baili Yunzheng's eyes didn't have time to adapt to the sudden darkness, only to hear the sound of a few poisonous darts flying in a few places in his ears, Baili Yunzheng hugged Li Chuxia and closed his eyes to feel the trajectory of the poisonous dart's flight, and he dodged the darts that shot in all directions with a few jumps and dodges.

Li Chuxia was also startled, but he felt that the lights went out all of a sudden, and before he had time to ask, Baili Yunzheng flew up holding his waist, and then the low stool they were sitting on was torn apart by the poisonous dart.

Suddenly, the dancing girl in the center of the field saw that the poisonous dart had not been shot, so she hurriedly took off the long sword from her waist and came up towards Baili Yunzheng's face in a few flying steps.

said that it was too late, and it was fast, Baili Yunzheng happened to dodge those darts, and as soon as he fell, he saw the dancing girl stabbing at him with a sword.

Baili Yunzheng threw Li Chuxia to a less dangerous place on the sidelines.

He kicked the sword that the dancer stabbed at him, and the sword flew away from the gravity blow.

Baili Yunzheng immediately picked up the long knife on the ground and fought with the dancing girl in the middle, this is Shui Zhi also felt that Baili Yunzheng was in danger, and directly broke through to the palace.
