Chapter 313 Changes in Xichu Palace
The war between the Golden Horde and Dayan has been in a stalemate these days.

Especially after hearing that Shen Du broke into the Daqian Palace alone and killed several heavenly beings one after another.

Although Shen Du did not go to the north, he still gave the Golden Horde a great deterrent effect and also allowed the Golden Horde to suspend its offensive.

The real unlucky one was Qi.

Qi State borrowed the road from the Golden Horde, and now the battlefield between the two sides is almost in Qi State.

Qi State has experienced many wars. After this incident, the people of Qi State began to flee one after another and fled into Yan and Qian.

Qi State shot itself in the foot this time.

As for Shen Du's Hou Mansion, renovations had begun a few days ago.

Many marquises of Dayan died, and many houses were vacant. After a little renovation, a new marquis mansion was built.

Regarding the fact that Shen Du was granted the title of Marquis, both the people and the court were full of praises, and there were no bad remarks.

In the eyes of everyone, this position is well deserved, and no one can find any problems.

On the contrary, if there is no indication of such merit, who will be willing to work for the court in the future.

But there were a lot of private discussions. The title "Pingnan" had too many meanings.

Although the Qian Kingdom lost half of its country, half of its southern territory still survived.

And if Pingnanhou takes one step further, he may become Pingnan King.

This also caused everyone to speculate when the imperial court would use troops on the southern border of Qian Kingdom.

……

"Master Hou!"

"The spies in Xichu just sent a secret message."

In the front hall of the six-door headquarters, Liang Ying stepped forward and said respectfully.

Now that Shen Du is in charge of six sects and has been awarded the title of marquis, they can be said to be extremely honored.

Now among the six gates, everyone knows that they are the confidants of the new governor, and their status has been raised a notch higher.

Although Xiang Nantian is nominally the Grand Governor of the Six Sects, he has rarely managed things in seclusion over the years. Most things are managed by a few divine catchers.

This is also the reason why several divine catchers have great power.

Now that Shen Du is the new governor of the six gates, the rights in the entire six gates must be re-divided.

In the final analysis, among the six doors, strength is the priority.

"Xi Chu?"

Shen Du raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in surprise: "What's the content?"

Hearing this, Liang Ying hesitated for a moment, and said with a strange look: "The spies over there said that this news came from the Western Chu Palace, and was handed over to them directly by people in the palace. They said that they only need to hand the letter into the hands of the Marquis. That’s it.”

Shen Du chuckled, became interested, and said lightly: "Bring it!"

Xichu Palace?

Who could it be?

After taking the secret letter from Liang Ying, he opened it and glanced at it. A smile that was half a smile but not a smile suddenly appeared on Shen Du's stern face.

"interesting!"

"I'm going to Xichu!"

Shen Du left without saying a word.

……

In the past, the Heavenly Demon Palace was located in the Cave Heaven Paradise.

A violent hurricane suddenly rolled up in the peaceful mountain forest.

The surrounding trees trembled and smoke billowed up.

Countless birds and beasts dispersed in fright!

A huge whirlpool slowly emerged from the mountain forest, and then a burly figure wearing black armor slowly stepped out of it.

It is none other than the Demon Lord of the Demon Xiang Sect, Jiang Wu!
It's just that at this moment, Jiang Wu's demonic energy is heavier than when he first entered the Cave Heaven Paradise, and there is a strong sense of oppression all over his body.

His eyes were cold and even more inhuman.

Under that jet-black armor, there seemed to be an incomparable terrifying power.

Jiang Wu glanced around and whispered: "I don't know how long it has been now."

In that heavenly paradise, there is no sense of time, so I hope it won’t take too long.

Jiang Wu slowly clenched his fist, feeling the completely different terrifying power in his body, and said confidently: "When I am born this time, I will unify the devil and reestablish my reputation as a devil!"

……

West Chu, the imperial palace.

Yufeng Pavilion,
Lying on the exquisite bed was a skinny middle-aged man with sunken eyes and a fair complexion. However, judging from his intermittent breathing, his physical condition was not good.

This person is none other than the current Emperor of Western Chu, Xiong Hongxuan.

When he was young, he was also a heroic figure, winning battles among the princes and winning the throne, but now he has long lost his original high-spiritedness.

Today, he is just a dying man lying in bed, needing care even for his daily life.

Outside the bead curtain, Xiong Qingqing stood with her head bowed and said respectfully: "Father, I am here to see you."

"Ha ha!"

Xiong Hongxuan, who was lying on the dragon bed, sneered with difficulty: "You're here to see if I'm dead, right?"

"It's quite difficult for you, but you still come to visit me every day."

"I'm afraid the public praises you very highly now."

Different from the kindness in the past, the words between the two sides now seemed to be only tit-for-tat, and more indifferent and alienated.

His empty pupils looked upward, showing unwillingness and anger.

"I thought you were a filial person, but didn't I know that you are also ambitious!"

"I didn't expect that you would develop such ambition!"

Xiong Hongxuan cursed loudly.

Faced with all this, Xiong Qingqing seemed to turn a deaf ear and looked extremely calm.

These days, she has been wandering among many forces, and she has long been able to keep her emotions and anger invisible.

Anyway, I can’t scold him for much longer.

Xiong Qingqing shook her head and said calmly: "Father, you are wrong."

"If I hadn't been here, I'm afraid you would have been poisoned by Second Brother and the others."

Xiong Hongxuan turned his head slightly, glanced at Xiong Qingqing through the bright red bead curtain, and said with a smile: "So this is the reason why you removed the guards of Yufeng Pavilion?"

Although there was almost no brilliance in his eyes, his sharp eyes still made Xiong Qingqing feel like everything was seen through.

Although he couldn't move, the transfer of Yufeng Pavilion's guards could not be hidden from him.

The eunuchs and maids who used to take care of his daily life have long become unfamiliar faces.

"Yes or no, does it matter now?"

Xiong Qingqing sighed softly and said calmly: "I just don't want to hand my fate into the hands of others, so what's wrong with that."

"Father, you don't know who the second brother is."

"How could he let us brothers and sisters go?"

"I also wanted to fulfill my filial piety before my bed, but why do you insist on pursuing immortality, Father?"

No one wants to see an immortal emperor.

"He...hehe!"

Xiong Hongxuan did not answer, but laughed at himself.

He once mocked the royal family of Qian Kingdom, and there were endless fights within the royal family. Now all this has happened again to the royal family of Xi Chu.

He just regretted that people deceived him that day!

Otherwise, why would he be lying on this sick bed.

Xiong Hongxuan shook his head slightly and said coldly: "You cannot sit firmly on this throne."

"As a female prostitute, no matter how good you are, there will still be too many people who are dissatisfied, and a fight is unavoidable."

"You mobilized troops to Yufeng Pavilion. I'm afraid something went beyond your expectation, right?"

Xiong Hongxuan is about to die, but he was once the emperor of Western Chu after all, and he will not fall into complete insanity.

If you are completely sure, why bother sending troops to Yufeng Pavilion? This is the last resort.Xiong Hongxuan shook his head slightly, looked at his daughter, whom he loved most in the past, and said coldly: "You are still not cruel enough!"

"If you are cruel enough, when the imperial doctor is diagnosing me, you should be cruel instead of inflicting chronic poison."

"Do you know why I like your second brother?"

"It's because he's cruel enough!"

"Only in this way can we, Xi Chu, have the possibility to dominate the world."

Xiong Qingqing looked calm and said lightly: "Maybe."

"As for how it will end, let us wait and see."

At this moment, a young man wearing red armor hurriedly came in from outside, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, the second prince has led troops into the palace."

The Yan people admire black, but the Western Chu admires red, and their totem is also the fire phoenix.

Similar patterns can be seen on many buildings in the Imperial Palace of Western Chu, as well as on armor.

"It came really quickly."

Xiong Qingqing murmured, looked at the approaching man, and said warmly: "Everything from now on depends on you."

The calm eyes fell on him, but they gave him a feeling of being extremely valued.

After hearing this, the man's face immediately showed excitement, and he said loudly: "Your Highness, don't worry, if the traitor wants to enter the palace today, he will have to step on my body!"

"Yeah!" Xiong Qingqing nodded slightly and said nothing more.

She had said similar words to more than one person.

Most of the older generation of the great nobles in Xichu supported her second brother.

In the eyes of many nobles, a woman cannot become an emperor, so no matter what means she has, they will not support her.

But she can win over the younger generation of nobles.

In that case, let them kill each other.

When father and son face off, I don’t know what the situation will be like.

The nobles of Xichu were deeply rooted, so they took advantage of this incident to waste away their power.

……

Outside the Western Chu Palace,

A fight has begun. The two parties are fighting together, and the shouts of killing are loud.

Wuyangyang's soldiers continued to pour in from outside the palace and fought with the soldiers inside the palace.

A mutiny unfolded suddenly.

The sound of weapons clashing can be heard endlessly.

Soldiers kept falling down, and there was chaos.

Rivers of blood!
In the long palace corridor, corpses were left on the ground.

Behind many soldiers, there is a chariot moving forward quickly with the support of many cavalry.

On top of the chariot, there are masters standing.

At the front of the chariot is a young man wearing red armor, with a flying phoenix pattern embroidered on his chest.

This is a pattern that only the royal family of Western Chu can engrave.

This person is now the most powerful contender for the throne of Western Chu, Xiong Wushang.

Xiong Wushang held his sword and shouted: "Kill!"

"Not a single one!"

His eyes were full of anger and fighting spirit.

At this point, if he fails to fight, he will really become a lamb to be slaughtered in the end.

No matter what, he never expected that his cowardly sister's personality would change drastically after a trip to Yan Kingdom.

Not only did he oppose him at every turn, but now he was plotting against him for the throne.

He could tolerate other things, but he could never tolerate the throne.

Seeing that the old man was about to die, and the throne was within easy reach, how could he allow others to get his hands on it so easily.

The Heavenly Being has left, his father is seriously ill, and he controls the Yufeng Pavilion. If the imperial edict is finally transmitted, it will be too late even if he wants to do anything.

The imperial doctor has made a diagnosis in the past few days. The old man has just made a diagnosis in the past few days, and he will not live much longer.

As Xi Chu's almost default successor to the throne in the early years, Xiong Wushang naturally had many supporters.

Behind him were soldiers from several nobles of Western Chu.

Similar to the Yan Kingdom, in addition to the royal family, a large part of the troops and horses of Western Chu were in the hands of the nobles of Western Chu.

The marriages between many nobles have already formed an extremely close relationship.

When Western Chu wants to mobilize troops for war, it often needs to consider the ideas of many nobles in Western Chu.

The soldiers stationed at the palace were retreating steadily.

This time, Xiong Wushang could be said to be fighting a last-ditch battle. He mobilized all the troops and horses under his command, and his strength should not be underestimated.

The army quickly reached the outside of Yufeng Pavilion.

Here, the two sides fell into a brief stalemate, each leaving corpses on the ground.

Looking at Yufeng Pavilion, which was very close at hand, Xiong Wushang immediately sneered and said, "My dear sister, why don't you come out yet?"

"What do you want to do by holding my father hostage?"

"Should I give an explanation for this matter?"

Now the entire Yufeng Pavilion is surrounded by him, and not even a single insect can fly out.

He had been holding back for a long time just for this day!
Even if his father died today, he would still have an excuse to pass it on to his sister. Then everyone in the world would only think that he was the one who put down the rebellion.

He inherited the throne and it was justifiable!
The heavy door slowly opened.

Xiong Qingqing slowly walked out surrounded by everyone, looking at everything outside the palace, her eyes were calm, and there was not much fear in her eyes. She said softly: "Second brother, you have indeed raised an army."

"Hmph!" Xiong Wushang snorted and sneered: "I didn't expect you to have such a method. I have always underestimated you."

"But the matter ends here!"

"You held my father hostage with the intention of usurping the throne. Today, my king is here with his troops to bring order to the chaos."

Xiong Qingqing glanced at the people behind Xiong Wushang and sighed: "Second brother, since you are here, I am afraid that something unexpected has happened to several of your brothers, right?"

Xiong Wushang looked indifferent, but did not refute these words.

No poison, no husband!
Since he has decided to raise troops, how can he leave hidden dangers?

As long as all his brothers are dead, and this woman is finally removed, then he can only inherit the throne of Xichu.

Even if the people in the royal family were unwilling, they could only support him as the only direct bloodline in the end.

As Xiong Hongxuan said, Xiong Wushang is an extremely ruthless person.

Not only cruel to others, but even more cruel to yourself!

He still had the thought in his mind that if he failed, a group of people would be buried with him.

"Your Highness, I will escort you away!"

At this time, the people supporting Xiong Qingqing spoke one after another, trying to persuade Xiong Qingqing to leave temporarily.

No matter how many plans Xiong Qingqing made, he was still not as good as Xiong Wushang, the second prince of Western Chu, when it came to his background.

"Need not!"

Xiong Qingqing waved her hand and said calmly: "Reinforcements will come soon."

After hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked puzzled.

reinforcements?

Are there any reinforcements at this moment?
Xiong Wushang frowned and said coldly: "Get ready to fire arrows!"

Regardless of whether there are reinforcements or not, it will be a long night and many dreams, and he will not wait any longer.

At the moment when many soldiers drew their bows, a terrifying roar suddenly came from the horizon.

The situation changes!

Between the surging clouds and mist, it seemed like a majestic mountain was slowly falling.

The terrifying pressure came down, making everyone breathe hard.

Even many Yuanshen realm masters felt short of breath and chest tightness at this moment, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on their whole bodies.

During the roar of the air waves, a figure in a unicorn black robe fell from the sky, standing proudly, with a tall and straight figure showing supreme majesty!
