Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 953 Legendary Life 19.0

The old lady knew very well that the little tricks she had done behind her back these years had not been hidden from the eyes of Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde.Therefore, once Emperor Jiaren passed his throne to Emperor Chongde, and Emperor Chongde successfully succeeded, the first person to suffer must be himself.

She regretted that she threw her younger brother out prematurely to test the waters. If she could keep him, the power of her natal family would not have fallen into the hands of Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde so early, causing her and her son, The disparity in Sun Tzu's strength is too great.

However, the only good thing is that Tong Wang and his grandson seem to have parted ways. No matter how strong Tong Wang is, he cannot be his grandson's help. In this way, his chances of winning will be greater.

After comparing her own strength with that of Emperor Chongde, and after calculating various plans, the old lady decided to act. This was her last chance, and she would be sorry for all the years of hard work if she didn't try.

"What does she want to do with this desperate move?" Jin Miaomiao frowned slightly, "Emperor Chongde and King Tong both know how many people she has, so it's possible that she has other unknown trump cards in her hand ?”

"That's right, she still has a hole card in her hand. It was actually given to her by her father before he passed away. There are not many people, only thirty." Song Qiyun cleaned up all the food scraps on the table and put them back into the food box , Wipe the table clean with a rag, and put the food box at the door. "Don't underestimate these thirty people. Just like Tong Wang's men, one is against ten. The difference is that Tong Wang's people are more comprehensive, good at assassination, sneak attack, and can also fight head-on with the enemy on the battlefield. And the old man The people in my wife's hands are only good at assassinations and sneak attacks, and they are real killers."

"These killers have been cultivated since childhood?"

"That's right, after the incident was exposed, the old lady told Emperor Chongde and King Tong that these thirty people were kept to the end through extremely cruel and strict selection. Those secret guards responsible for protecting Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde They are usually for them to practice their hands. The children who were sent to that secret place, at first there were [-] people, aged between four and six years old, took a small test every five days, and failed the test Yes, those who have been demerited once and fail the assessment three times in a row will be completely eliminated." Shen Cha looked at Jin Miaomiao, "This complete elimination does not mean sending these children to other places. Let them return to normal life like ordinary children, but..." She wiped her neck lightly, "To completely obliterate the existence of these children."

"Is it so cruel? Didn't the families of those children find it? Or are these children kidnapped or orphaned, so this is the only way for them to survive?" Jin Miaomiao thought for a while, "I remembered that one of the employers of the traffickers who abducted King Tong was the old lady's natal family, right? Because of their high position and authority, it is not convenient for them to come forward. It is possible that they have found several people to take the blame. That's why, when Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde investigated the case thoroughly, it didn't affect them."

"It's very possible, otherwise, where can we find so many children? If these children have their origins, and they disappear inexplicably, will the family members not track them down?" Shen Haolin agrees with Jin Miaomiao's deduction, "Totally To obliterate the existence of these children is also because I am afraid that what I am doing behind the scenes will be leaked."

"In order to avoid my secret being discovered, so you kill people to silence?" Seeing Shen Haolin and Shen Cha nodding, Jin Miaomiao sighed, "Heaven committed evil, it is still a violation, and human beings cannot live. The old queen's natal family will break In the hands of King Tong, it is considered a kind of retribution. After all, if King Tong had not met Emperor Chongde and was not brought back by Emperor Chongde, he would have ended up like those children."

"It's not that we didn't report, it's not time yet." Song Qiyun sighed, "The old lady and the old lady's natal family deserved such a bleak end, they deserved it, they did it by themselves, and they can't blame others."

"Because the old lady still has such a hole card in her hand, she has the confidence to plan the biggest assassination." Shen Cha took a sip of tea, "According to the practice of the previous dynasty, before the prince inherits the throne, he must Before the enthronement ceremony, they lived in Huangding Mountain for a full month. During this month, they had to eat fast and chant sutras in front of the ancestor's spiritual tablet. However, there was no requirement on when to live. It could be half a year in advance, or It can be one month in advance. Emperor Chongde discussed with King Tong, and they decided to go to Huangding Mountain three months before the enthronement ceremony. It was not particularly busy at that time, and if it was later, they would be too late. "

"Huangding Mountain again?" Jin Miaomiao smiled helplessly, "No wonder Huangding Mountain is deserted. It's really unlucky to be assassinated one after another. However, Emperor Chongde's health was not well at that time. Bar?"

"It's been almost a year since the arsenic case happened, and it's barely recuperated, but the root cause of the disease is gone. According to the doctor's instructions, Emperor Chongde can't blow the wind, freeze, or catch cold, otherwise the old illness will be brought back."

"Yes." Jin Miaomiao nodded, agreeing with this statement, "No matter what the root cause of the disease is, as long as it hurts the root cause, keeping warm is the most basic. Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, even if it is hot summer, you can't be greedy for coolness. They are When did you go to Huangding Mountain?"

"And when they chose to go to Huangding Mountain, it had just entered winter and it was not too cold. The old lady knew that they were going to Huangding Mountain, so she arranged people along the way in advance. If Emperor Chongde could be killed on the way, There is no need to wait until Huangding Mountain to attack. It doesn’t matter if they miss, she still has a backup. The little masters in the temple of Huangding Mountain have already been replaced by her people, Emperor Chongde and Tong Wang's trip is tantamount to throwing himself into a trap. If the normal development follows, Emperor Chongde and King Tong will undoubtedly die."

"But Emperor Chongde and King Tong didn't fall into the trap, so, is it an abnormal development?"

"That's right." Shen Cha nodded, "They left a backup, and it wasn't them who followed the guard of honor, but their guards in disguise. They themselves had brought their confidants to Huangding Mountain ten days in advance The palace at the foot, during the ten days in the palace, they have sent their confidantes to investigate the situation of Huangding Mountain and discovered the secrets there."

"Get rid of those fake little masters?"

"That's right." Shen Cha nodded, "The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind. The old lady has planned for many years, but in the end she failed. She can only leave this world with regret and hatred for her son and grandson."
