Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

She didn't know that Fang Yue was working hard to plan a thrilling action for her.

But she always had an unyielding belief in her heart, and firmly believed that Da Chu would be able to overcome this crisis.

The eldest princess, despite her weak body, summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures again.

"Now that the three princes are pressing us step by step, we must come up with a more effective way to deal with them."

A minister said worriedly: "Your Highness, our strength is still far behind that of the three princes, and their power in the court is complicated and difficult to contend with."

The three great princes of the Great Chu were all masters with powerful strength.

In addition, they controlled the Zhenbei and Zhendong armies, which made them extremely powerful.

After Fang Yue left, the royal ancestor of Da Chu also retired behind the scenes.

He looked like he was not helping either side.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that, although they were silent, they supported the actions of the three princes.

After all, the Chu royal family has not had a empress for thousands of years.

The eldest princess's face became increasingly heavy. She knew very well that the attitude of the royal ancestor had brought them tremendous pressure.

"Even so, we can't give up."

The princess said firmly, "We must continue to fight for the future of Da Chu and cannot let the ambitions of the three princes succeed."

Looking at the eldest princess's resolute expression, the ministers also felt a surge of courage in their hearts.

A minister said: "Your Highness, we can seek support from the people, arouse the people's support for the orthodoxy of the Great Chu, and let them understand that the actions of the three princes are a betrayal of the Great Chu."

The princess nodded slightly: "This is a very good plan. We must let the people see our efforts for the prosperity and stability of Da Chu. At the same time, we must continue to strengthen our ties with various forces and look for possible allies."

Under the leadership of the eldest princess, the ministers began to take active action.

They sent envoys to the people to publicize the eldest princess's fair stance and her plans for the future of Da Chu.

The people began to express sympathy for the eldest princess's situation, and some knowledgeable people also stood up to support the eldest princess.

At the same time, in a luxurious mansion in the capital of the Great Chu, the three princes were secretly planning their next move.

The leading prince had a gloomy face, and his eyes revealed a fierce look. "The public's support for the eldest princess is getting louder and louder. We can't just sit back and watch. We must take action as soon as possible to suppress her power."

Another prince frowned slightly and said, "Although the support of the people is not to be feared, if the princess really wins over some powerful forces, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us."

The third prince thought for a moment and said, "We can use the attitude of the royal ancestors to create public pressure and make more people think that the eldest princess's behavior is against the laws of our ancestors. At the same time, we must strengthen our control over the Zhenbei and Zhendong armies to ensure that they completely obey our command."

After the three princes finished their discussion, they were preparing to leave.

At this moment, a figure appeared in the room.

The three princes were all startled and instantly alert. The leading prince shouted angrily, "Who are you? How dare you trespass here!"

The figure slowly revealed itself without any hurry. This person was dressed in black, with a stern face and a mysterious look in his eyes.

"My three princes, how are you?" the man in black said in a low voice.

"Who are you? What is your purpose?" asked another prince with a frown.

The man in black smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I can provide you with a great opportunity to completely defeat the princess."

The three princes looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts.

But then, the leader said with a smile: "Dealing with the princess is just a piece of cake for us!"

"Really? But what if there is another grandmaster, such as Fang Yue?" said the mysterious man without comment.

When the three princes heard this, their expressions changed slightly.

They knew very well that the Grand Master was extremely powerful. If Fang Yue really became an ally of the Princess, their plans would be greatly hindered.

The leading prince narrowed his eyes, stared at the man in black, and said, "Fang Yue has already returned to the Wei Dynasty. Even a great master cannot come so far away to interfere in the affairs of our Chu Dynasty!"

"Haha, if I told you, Fang Yue has already sneaked back!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three princes' eyes suddenly became stern.

They knew that if what this person said was true.

Then it would be a huge trouble for them.

It is very likely that their plans will fail completely.

The leading prince said in a deep voice: "Tell me your conditions."

The black-clothed man raised his lips slightly and said, "My conditions are very simple. After the matter is accomplished, I want to gain status and power in Da Chu."

The three princes thought about it for a moment and felt that this condition was acceptable.

After all, as long as they can get rid of the eldest princess and control Da Chu, there is nothing wrong in giving the men in black some power.

"Okay, as long as you can help us defeat the eldest princess and Fang Yue, we will agree to your conditions." said the third prince.

The man in black nodded and began to explain his plan.

“Although Fang Yue is a grandmaster, he also has weaknesses.

We can take advantage of his feelings for the eldest princess and set a trap to lure him into it.

At the same time, we must continue to suppress the eldest princess's reputation among the people and make them suspicious of her.

In addition, we must strengthen our control over the Zhenbei and Zhendong armies to ensure that they can be used by us at critical moments."

The three princes listened to the black-clad man's plan, and gradually showed excitement in their eyes. The leading prince said: "This is a great plan. Let's start making arrangements immediately."

Afterwards, the three princes began to act according to the man in black's plan.

On the one hand, they spread rumors among the people to slander the eldest princess' reputation, and on the other hand, they secretly set traps, waiting for Fang Yue to fall into the trap.

Meanwhile, in the palace, the eldest princess was unaware of the three princes' new conspiracy.

She is still working hard to gain support from all parties and fight for the future of Da Chu.

At this time, Fang Yue was quietly heading towards the capital of Great Chu.

Fang Yue disguised himself as an ordinary scholar and mixed into a caravan heading to the imperial capital of Great Chu.

He kept a low profile and always paid attention to what was going on around him.

Along the way, he heard a lot of rumors about the eldest princess and the three princes.

The people's attitude towards the eldest princess seemed to be somewhat wavering, which made Fang Yue even more worried.

He knew that the conspiracy of the three princes was taking effect and he had to find a way to break the situation as soon as possible.

However, in just over a month, they were already close to the capital of Great Chu.

"Brother, why did you bring that scholar with you? We wasted so much food along the way."

At the front of the caravan, a heroic woman frowned and spoke to the man next to her with some dissatisfaction.

The man shook his head slightly and said softly, "Little sister, don't be rude. Although the scholar looks weak, his words and actions along the way are all very dignified. Maybe he has some extraordinary qualities. Besides, when you are out, helping others when you can can also be regarded as accumulating some good karma for us."

The woman curled her lips, but said nothing more.

At this time, Fang Yue heard their conversation and didn't take it seriously.

He didn't want to attract too much attention, so he followed the caravan in a more low-key manner. As for what others thought of him, he didn't care at all.

The caravan continued to move forward.

We are about to reach the next destination.

But at this moment, a loud sound of horse hooves rang out.

Soon, hundreds of knights appeared in front and on both sides.

These people were holding all kinds of swords, wearing animal skins, and had all kinds of hideous patterns painted on their faces.

In particular, there was an eagle standing on the body of a burly bandit in the lead.

It turned out to be the famous bandit in the territory of Da Chu, Zuo Shanying.

"Haha, listen up, caravan ahead. Leave your women and property behind and I'll spare your lives!" Zuo Shanying shouted, his voice as resonant as a bell.

Everyone in the caravan suddenly fell into panic.

The man's face was solemn, and he held the weapon tightly in his hand, ready to lead the guards to fight against the bandits.

The woman bit her lip, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Brother, our route must be kept secret. How did these bandits know we were going this way? It must be that scholar. He was the only one who joined us halfway!"

The woman's tone was full of suspicion and anger.

The man frowned slightly, and looked at Fang Yue with a little more scrutiny.

However, he was very shrewd and did not directly suspect the other party. He also knew that this was not the time for internal strife.

He didn't say anything at that moment, but instead clasped his fists towards the bandit leader and said:

He didn't say anything at the time, but clasped his fists towards the bandit leader and said, "Your Majesty, we are just an ordinary caravan, and we didn't bring much wealth with us this time. I hope Your Majesty will show mercy and let us go. We will prepare generous gifts in the future to thank Your Majesty for not killing us."

Zuo Shanying was unmoved and sneered, "Stop talking nonsense and hand over the woman and the property immediately, or I will kill you without mercy."

The man's heart sank, knowing that this matter would not end well.

He looked back at the caravan, his eyes full of determination.

He whispered to the woman, "Little sister, if things get bad later, find a chance to lead everyone out."

The woman bit her lip, with a look of determination in her eyes, and said, "Brother, I won't abandon you."

At this time, the caravan man spoke again: "I am Zhou Huaian, a disciple of Qiankun Mountain. I hope the king will not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face and let our caravan go. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay the king for his kindness today."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Shanying narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of hesitation on his face.

Qiankun Mountain is also a well-known sect in Da Chu, and he has to consider the consequences of offending Qiankun Mountain.

But he was unwilling to let go of the fat meat in his mouth.

Zuo Shanying thought for a moment and said, "Humph, even if you are a disciple of Qiankun Mountain, so what? If you don't leave your wealth and women behind today, none of you can leave."

Zhou Huaian's face darkened. It seemed that Zuo Shanying was not going to let them go easily.

He clenched his weapon tightly, ready to fight the bandits to the death.

"Kill them all, guys. No one will know it was us who did it!"

At Zuoshanying's command, the bandits became restless again and rushed towards the caravan waving their weapons.

Zhou Huaian's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted, "Don't be afraid, fight them!"

The guards of the caravan also raised their weapons, and in an instant, the two sides were fighting each other.

Zhou Huaian and the woman led the guards in a brave resistance. Relying on the terrain advantage and tenacious fighting spirit, they successfully resisted the first wave of attacks from the bandits.

Although the bandits were numerous, their movements were greatly restricted on the narrow hillside.

The guards of the caravan worked in perfect harmony and continued to cause casualties to the bandits.

Zuo Shanying was furious as he watched his men falling one after another.

He roared and personally led a group of elite bandits towards the caravan.

He wielded the sword in his hand with unstoppable force.

Seeing this, Zhou Huaian went forward without fear.

He engaged in a fierce battle with the Mountain Eagle, the two of them fighting back and forth with swords flashing and sabers flying.

The woman assisted the guards in resisting attacks from other bandits, while keeping an eye on Zhou Huaian's battle situation.

After all, he is a disciple of a famous sect, and his strength is much stronger than that of a grassroots like Zuo Shanying. For a while, Zhou Huaian actually had the upper hand.

However, just when Zhou Huaian thought he had victory.

Suddenly, a caravan guard sneaked up from a corner beside him and launched a sneak attack while Zhou Huai'an was concentrating on fighting the Mountain Eagle.

The sharp blade in the guard's hand flashed coldly and stabbed Zhou Huaian's side fiercely.

Zhou Huaian only felt a sharp pain and his body staggered involuntarily.

His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He never expected that he would be ambushed by his own people.

When the woman saw this, she screamed, "Brother!"

She wanted to rush over, but was stopped by several bandits and couldn't escape.

Seeing this, Zuo Shanying laughed loudly: "Boy, no matter how powerful you are, you can't escape death today."

After saying that, he raised the sword again and slashed at the injured Zhou Huaian.

When the caravan saw Zhou Huaian being ambushed and injured, they immediately became panicked and their morale dropped sharply.

The bandits took the opportunity to attack more fiercely, and the caravan's defense was on the verge of collapse.

Fang Yue saw this chaotic situation from the side and sighed slightly.

Originally, I just wanted to sneak into the imperial city of Da Chu safely, but there are always people who are blind.

Seeing that the caravan was about to collapse, Fang Yue decided to take action immediately.

Fang Yue's figure flashed and appeared in front of Zhou Huaian like a ghost.

Zuo Shanying's sword chopped down, but was caught steadily by Fang Yue.

The mountain eagle only felt that his knife seemed to have chopped on a mountain, without moving at all.

His eyes widened, his face filled with shock.

Fang Yue looked at Zuo Shanying coldly and said, "Enough is enough."

His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.

Zuo Shanying's heart trembled as he felt the powerful aura emanating from Fang Yue.

The bandits were also frightened by Fang Yue's momentum and stopped their attacks.

Fang Yue glanced at the bandits and said, "Today's matter ends here. If you dare to harass me again, don't blame me for being rude." (End of this chapter)
