Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

Wei Wuji seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and he quickly spilled the beans. It turned out that Wei had been hit by natural disasters in recent years, and the people were living in poverty. The treasury had long been empty. In addition, the surrounding small countries were eyeing it covetously, and border conflicts continued. Wei was already a spent force. What was even more terrible was that the ministers in the court formed cliques for personal gain and fought for power and profit, almost hollowing out Wei.

"So, you want to throw this mess to me?" Lu Yuan said with a smile.

Wei Wuji coughed awkwardly, "That being said, the Wei Kingdom has a profound foundation. With a little governance, it will surely regain its glory. Master Lu is a genius. If he can take charge of the Wei Kingdom, he will surely bring it to a new peak!"

Lu Yuan sneered in his heart. This flattery was really deafening. However, Wei Wuji's words were not entirely unreasonable. Although the Wei Kingdom was in a precarious situation, a lean camel was bigger than a horse. If it could be controlled in the hands, it would not be a bad thing.

"It's not impossible for me to take over the Wei Kingdom," Lu Yuan paused, a gleam in his eyes, "but I have a condition."

Wei Wuji quickly asked: "What are the conditions?"

"I want you to be my puppet emperor." Lu Yuan's tone was cold and unquestionable.

Wei Wuji's face changed, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you!"

"Very good." Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction. "In that case, let's go back and prepare for the abdication ceremony."

……

After returning to the capital of Wei, Wei Wuji immediately ordered preparations for the abdication ceremony. When the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar. The ministers in the court opposed it, but intimidated by Lu Yuan's power, they could only dare to be angry but not speak out.

Three days later, the abdication ceremony was held in the palace. Lu Yuan, wearing a black robe, stood on a high platform, looking down at the crowd below, with an air of looking down on the world.

Wei Wuji read out the abdication edict in public and passed the throne to Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan took over the imperial seal and officially became the new emperor of Wei.

"Long live the emperor!" The roar was like a tsunami, resounding through the sky.

Lu Yuan's mouth curled up slightly, but his heart was calm. To him, the throne of Wei was just a tool, a tool to achieve his goals.

That night, Lu Yuan summoned Lin Qingxue to the imperial study.

"Qingxue, you have suffered." Lu Yuan looked at Lin Qingxue with tenderness in his eyes.

Lin Qingxue threw herself into Lu Yuan's arms, tears streaming down her face. "Lu Yuan, I'm fine. As long as you're safe, that's all."

"I promise you that I will never let you get hurt again." Lu Yuan hugged Lin Qingxue tightly with a firm tone.

"Yeah." Lin Qingxue nodded gently, her heart filled with happiness.

However, just as the two were being affectionate, a dark shadow quietly sneaked into the palace...

The shadow's movements were strange and extremely fast, and he arrived outside the imperial study in the blink of an eye. He gently pushed open the door, revealing a ferocious face.

"Lu Yuan, die!" The black shadow growled, a cold light flashed in his hand, and a sharp dagger pierced Lu Yuan's throat.

At the critical moment, Lu Yuan suddenly pushed Lin Qingxue away, and at the same time dodged the fatal blow.

"Who is it?" Lu Yuan's eyes flashed coldly and were filled with murderous intent.

The shadow sneered, "The one who will take your life!"

Before he finished speaking, the black shadow launched another attack. The dagger turned into cold light, covering Lu Yuan's vital points.

Lu Yuan did not dare to be careless, and quickly used his skills to engage in a fierce battle with the black shadow.

In the imperial study, there were flashes of swords and shadows, and murderous aura filled the air...

The shadow's movements were as fast as lightning, and the dagger flashed with cold light, aiming straight at Lu Yuan's throat. At the critical moment, Lu Yuan retreated violently, barely avoiding the fatal blow. But Lin Qingxue in his arms was not spared, and the dagger cut through her sleeve, leaving a bloody mark on her fair arm.

"Qingxue!" Lu Yuan's eyes were bloodshot and a raging rage was burning in his chest.

He pushed Lin Qingxue to a safe place, turned around to face the black shadow, murderous intent in his eyes.

"You deserve to die!" Lu Yuan's voice was icy cold, like the cold wind from the Nine Nether Hell.

The black shadow sneered, "Lu Yuan, you will definitely die today!" Before he finished speaking, the black shadow attacked again. His body movements were strange and his speed was extremely fast. He moved around Lu Yuan like a ghost, stabbing with the dagger in his hand continuously, and each move was fatal.

Lu Yuan did not dare to be careless. He quickly circulated his true energy and displayed exquisite footwork to engage in a fierce battle with the black shadow.

In the imperial study, the flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers filled the air. The two figures flashed across each other, like two black lightning bolts, colliding to create bursts of sparks.

Although Lu Yuan was very powerful, the black shadow's movements were too strange and he was unable to take it down for a while.

"Hmph, Lu Yuan, your strength is just this level!" The black shadow mocked while attacking.

Lu Yuan snorted coldly, "Really? Then let me show you my true strength!"

Before he finished speaking, a powerful aura suddenly burst out from Lu Yuan, like a volcanic eruption, sweeping across the entire imperial study.

The black shadow's face changed and he thought to himself that something was not good.

At this moment, Lu Yuan flashed and instantly appeared in front of the black shadow, punching out.

This punch contained all of Lu Yuan's strength. It was as fast as lightning and had infinite power.

The black shadow had no time to dodge and was hit hard in the chest by the punch.

"puff!"

The black shadow spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough..." The black shadow struggled to stand up, but Lu Yuan did not give him the chance.

Lu Yuan walked towards the shadow step by step, with murderous intent in his eyes growing stronger and stronger.

"Tell me, who sent you?" Lu Yuan's voice was icy cold, like a judgment from hell.

The shadow sneered, "If you want to know, go to hell and ask!"

Before he could finish his words, the shadow suddenly bit through the poison hidden in his teeth and died instantly.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly. It seemed that the person behind the scenes was acting very cautiously and didn't even leave any clues.

"Lu Yuan, are you okay?" Lin Qingxue asked worriedly.

Lu Yuan shook his head, "I'm fine."

He helped Lin Qingxue sit down on the chair and began to check her injuries.

Fortunately, the wound was not deep, just a superficial injury.

Lu Yuan used his true Qi to heal Lin Qingxue's wounds, and the wounds healed quickly.

"Lu Yuan, thank you." Lin Qingxue looked at Lu Yuan with gratitude in her eyes.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Silly boy, why are you being so polite to me?"

He gently stroked Lin Qingxue's hair, his eyes full of tenderness.

"By the way, Qingxue, when did you come to Wei State?" Lu Yuan suddenly asked.

Lin Qingxue was stunned, then said: "I just arrived a few days ago, and wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect..."

Lu Yuan nodded, but his heart was full of doubts.

How could Lin Qingxue suddenly appear in Wei State? And at this time? (End of this chapter)
