Cross Town.

There is a town not far from the imperial capital, which is very prosperous because of its location on the main transportation route, but now it is very deserted.

It's really deserted.

In normal times, there is an endless stream of businessmen coming and going from the south to the north, and there are many martial arts figures who temporarily rest here, but now there are not many pedestrians on the street.

At dusk, Yuelai Inn.

Jiang Ming and the three of them built a small courtyard in the back, which was a courtyard specially provided for merchants, which was very exquisite.

In the courtyard, the three of them sat facing the moon.

Alas......

Jin Zhutou sighed lightly, his brows furrowed: "I didn't expect so many things to happen in the imperial capital, and I don't know what happened to His Highness?" ”

"No one could have imagined." Lu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head.

"Her methods are still a little worse!" Jiang Ming said with a teacup.

"Where's the difference?" A figure jumped over, landed beside him, lifted his hood, and revealed a delicate and tired face, it was His Royal Highness Feng Wu, the Ninth Princess Yanfeng.

Underneath the exhaustion is sadness and hatred that is difficult to hide.

There was still blood on his body.

Someone else's.

"Your Highness!" Jin Zhutou immediately stood up.

"You should cut through the mess quickly, kill the prince directly, and behead the other princes." Jiang Ming had already sensed the other party's breath, and said coldly at this time, "The battle for imperial power has been cruel since ancient times. Especially when your father is old and bedridden, and the court is controlled by the prince, if you want to do great things, you must be ruthless, you must be ruthless, you must be decisive. But you, you are only planning in secret, and you still want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight at a critical juncture, which is doomed to your end. This is not a private fight between the rivers and lakes, let alone a child's play, at the last moment, it is all above board, forming a torrent of general trends. Once the momentum is achieved, it is unstoppable. ”

The Ninth Princess sat down, silent.

Regarding the changes in the imperial capital, Jiang Ming and the others have also gotten news in the past two days.

It's just changing too fast.

The old emperor died suddenly, and the edict was passed to the crown prince, but the second prince and the third prince refused to accept it, spreading rumors that the prince was plotting to kill the old emperor, so he led troops to raid the palace, but was killed by the prince.

In addition, there are several princes who make a fuss, making the imperial capital smoky and miasma, and the blood is flowing like a river.

A lot of people are caught up in it.

Numerous casualties were immense.

The second prince died in battle, the third prince died in battle, the sixth prince died in battle, and so on.

The sixth prince is also the elder brother of the ninth princess and one mother.

"What's going on? What's the secret? Wang Wushu didn't make a move? Lu Yuan asked.

Jiang Ming poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of the other party.

"The imperial capital is defended, and there are four Beijing battalions stationed outside the city, each with 50,000 horses; There are eighteen city gates in the imperial capital, and each gate has a thousand city defense troops. There are six gates in the city, the penal department. There are Yulin guards in the imperial city, and there are Praetorian Guards and secretaries in the imperial palace. The crown prince controls the Shadow Guard. The Ninth Princess took a sip of the teacup and said in a low voice, "Because you are too powerful, he feels that he is threatening his life, and he must do everything in order to deal with you." So...... It is necessary to integrate forces. ”

She gritted her teeth, a look of hatred.

"He killed his father, and because the secretary had already become his person, he announced to the public that his father died of illness."

The Nine Princes showed hatred.

Anyway, it was her father.

After a moment of silence, she spoke slowly.

In the imperial capital, many princes covet the throne, and they have already been fighting to the death in secret.

The forces that guarded the imperial capital were almost divided by several princes, and on the surface, the prince did not have much advantage at all, but secretly he was bought a lot by the prince.

When the old emperor died, led by the second prince and the third prince, he was ready to liquidate the crown prince, and as a result, there was a big battle in the palace.

Almost all the forces in the imperial capital were involved.

The crown prince controls the secretary guard, which is composed of eunuchs, as well as the shadow guard, the Praetorian Guard, and so on.

"In addition, the Cold Moon Palace also made a move, and I don't know when he became the prince's person." The Ninth Princess sighed, "One of the deputy commanders of the six doors was bribed by the crown prince and poisoned the king, leaving him with no combat power for a short time. I finally suppressed the six gates, integrated forces and waited for the opportunity, but during this period, the imperial brother, he, he did not listen to persuasion, and secretly went to the palace to persuade peace, and was killed. ”

Tears flowed down her eyes.

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes vaguely.

The golden catcher seemed to sigh.

Jiang Ming was speechless.

Doesn't this?

It's all fighting to the death, your sister keeps running for you, secretly plotting, and you go to persuade peace?

It's not naïve, it's stupid.

Adou who can't be helped.

"Don't blame him." The Ninth Princess whispered, "He has always wanted to live in harmony with his family, and he thinks that no matter how bad the brothers are, they are blood relatives after all." I've said many times, many times, it's a life-and-death situation, but ......"

Jiang Ming scratched his head and asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"Do you want revenge?"

"I still want to ascend to the throne and become the first empress of the ages!"

Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed.

The Ninth Princess raised her head abruptly.

Jin Zhutou looked shocked.

Lu Yuan was shocked.

"The 200,000 army is besieging the imperial capital, and the interior is about to be pacified, and the crown prince is in a good situation." There was a light in the eyes of the ninth princess, and her heart was pounding, but she shook her head and said, "There are countless armies in the country, and the Beiban at this time must also be eyeing the tiger." ”

"Just say if you want to!" Jiang Mingdao.

The Ninth Princess took a deep breath and closed her eyes, her aura fluctuated violently, and finally condensed into a strand, and her momentum skyrocketed.

When she opened her eyes, there was no tiredness, no weakness, only blazing flames and ambition: "Think! ”

"How much power do you still wield?"

"Even if the sixth brother is gone, I can still mobilize a Beijing battalion, four city defense battalions, and six gates that are temporarily under house arrest."

"There is still so much power!" Jiang Ming was surprised.

After all, she is a woman.

originally thought that the power under control was attached to the identity of the six princes, but now it seems that the ability of the ninth princess is really extraordinary.

"If there is a big bloodbath in the court, and there is a big blood change in the Beijing camp, you can control it all?"

"Yes! There are all my people in the Beijing camp, although the official position is not too high, but if it is after the bloodbath, it is not difficult to control. As for the civil servants? It's better, change if you don't obey, no, kill! The most difficult thing is the meritorious lineage, as well as the clan relatives, the royal family has a senate, and there are many strong people. Now in the palace, there are at least three great grandmasters, more than thirty grandmasters, countless innates, the Praetorian Guard and the Imperial Forest Army are the elite of the elite. If so, if it really came to that point, I am afraid that the vassal kings outside would rebel, and the Northern Barbarians would definitely seize the opportunity to invade. ”

"It's all trivial!" Jiang Ming stood up and looked down at the other party, his eyes burning, "The most critical point, are you willing to bear the infamy?" ”

The ninth princess's breath stagnated, and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly.

She was very smart, so she naturally knew what Jiang Ming meant, took a deep breath, and her eyes became more determined: "But! ”

"But, can you really do it?" The Ninth Princess's voice trembled slightly, "Can you really help me all the time?" Without you, even if the emperor succeeds, I will die a miserable death. ”

Jiang Ming smiled, looked up at the moon, and said indifferently: "Brother Lu has reached the realm of a great grandmaster with my help, and it is not comparable to ordinary great grandmasters. ”

"Jin Zhutou is already at the peak of the Grandmaster, and it will not be difficult to help her become a Great Grandmaster in the future!"

"With your talent, in a short period of time, I can help you achieve the position of a great grandmaster."

"Brother Lu, Jin Zhutou, you, plus Wang Wuving, even if there is no me, you also have four great grandmasters on your side."

"The four great grandmasters, coupled with the general trend of the court, nothing can be solved!"

"As for now?"

"Although Brother Lu is a great grandmaster, if I just stand still and don't urge the Gang Qi to protect my body, it will be difficult for him to kill me!"

"Under the Dalin Temple, I can break a thousand armors with one sword, and I didn't have all my strength at that time."

"Now, I can break through at least two thousand armor with one sword."

"The most important thing is that with such a sword, I can easily cut out a thousand swords, without exhaustion!"

"You say, 200,000 troops can stop me?"

"The entire imperial city, I can slaughter it!"

"You say, can I do it?"

Jiang Ming looked at the other party.
