The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

King Chu has been thinking about his life in the past few decades recently, and he feels more and more that he is too tolerant and too careful.

He should have launched an army directly when his father died, instead of thinking about what is justified!

King Chu looked at the staff who were kneeling on the ground, his eyes red: "The common people don't care who the emperor is, let alone how he got the throne."

As for those ministers, when he becomes the emperor, who dares to disobey and kill a few more families to scare the monkeys? Naturally, the remaining people will not dare to say anything more.

He sneered, then laughed loudly, pointing at the staff who were kneeling on the ground: "Do you regret it? There's no point in regretting it! Why is the Huo family's military gone? You won't forget it, right?"

When the late emperor was still alive, he was afraid of the Huo family's military prowess and wanted to wipe out the entire Huo family.

But the late emperor had the same problem as the King of Chu, that is, he wanted a good reputation, so he was afraid that others would think he was ruthless and would harm meritorious ministers.

The late emperor deliberately revealed this matter to the King of Chu. Sure enough, the King of Chu immediately summoned his staff and not only found a way to unite Bai Jiwu and others, but also dragged Huo Qiyuan's family into trouble.

Huo Qiyuan's matter was ordered by the late emperor, and he was sentenced to death by Qiu Houwen without any interrogation.

If the late emperor hadn't suddenly disappeared, the Huo family would have been gone, and he would have captured the Mobei Army long ago, so why would he be as passive as he is now.

"Tell me, if the Huo family knew that it was you who put them to death at that time, would the fleeing Huo family take revenge on you? Would Gu Yuchen destroy all nine of your clans?"

To rebel is to destroy the nine tribes. If they don't rebel and the emperor knows what they have done in the past, they are also to destroy the nine tribes. It is better to rebel and plan carefully, maybe there is still a chance of success.

All the staff thought about it in their minds, and naturally knew what to do was the best thing for them.

"My lord, please follow His Highness closely!"

Now that they have made a decision in their hearts, and Ling Changshi has learned from the past, how can these people still hesitate and express their stance in unison?

The King of Chu looked down at these staff and laughed again, but this time his laughter was no longer as suppressed as before, with a sense of joy and determination to win the throne!

It took King Chu a long time to stop laughing, and his eyes were full of murderous intent: "You should do what I asked you to do as soon as possible. It will take a month at most. I want to see the results!"

It wasn't until they walked out of the gate of Prince Chu's Mansion that the staff truly breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone's clothes were soaked with cold sweat. When they turned to look at the gate of Prince Chu's Mansion, they felt that the gate looked like the mouth of a monster. Anyone who entered would be eaten to the bone.

One of them let out a long sigh: "Okay, go and notify Ling Changshi's family."

No one should know that Ling Changshi was beaten to death by the King of Chu.

Therefore, in order to cover up the matter, the King of Chu could not notify Ling Changshi's family, but had to leave it to them to find a way to appease Ling Changshi's family.

Another person gave a sarcastic smile: "Let's talk as we walk, how to solve this matter is the most important thing."

The aides were discussing how to rationalize Ling Changshi's death, and the King of Chu did not rest either.

After all the staff left, King Chu gave a few simple instructions before returning to the study and summoning his last trump card, the secret guard.

Gu Yuchen only knew that every emperor of the Sang Dynasty would inherit a secret guard, but he did not know that the former emperor had trained a secret guard for King Chu when he was very young, and its abilities were not inferior to those of the imperial secret guards in all aspects. .

If he had activated the secret guards to rob and kill Qi Chenglang and others, Qi Chenglang and others might not be able to escape back to Mobei.

He can only blame himself for underestimating the enemy.

The leader of the secret guard appeared silently in front of Gu Yuchen, knelt down on one knee and said, "See His Highness the King of Chu."

King Chu lowered his eyes and looked at the secret guard who was dressed in mysterious clothes and wearing a black mask with only a pair of eyes exposed and fell into deep thought. My father once said that this secret guard is very murderous. Once activated, it will inevitably see blood.

However, he originally wanted someone's life,

He slowly raised his lips: "Huizhou Magistrate Qi Chengjun, I want this man's life."

"Yes!"

Regarding the master's order, the secret guard did not ask any more questions about the reason. After agreeing, he disappeared into King Chu's study.

When the secret guard appeared again, he had already arrived in Huizhou. At this moment, he had already changed into ordinary clothes and transformed into a businessman, walking around the streets of Huizhou.

In just two days, the secret guards had figured out Qi Chengjun's living habits.

On the third day, the secret guards organized manpower to ambush Qi Chengjun on his way back from the Yamen.

Qi Chengjun leaves office very late every day, usually after dark, and there is a sparsely populated path from the government office to other prefectures.

In order to prevent anyone from ruining their plan, the secret guards slaughtered the few families before Qi Chengjun showed up.

Qi Chengjun just walked into the alley when a breeze came, mixed with the vague smell of blood. He couldn't help but pause in his steps and said softly: "Did you notice anything wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards around him all pulled out their swords and protected him in the middle.

When he came to Jiangnan, Qi Chengjun knew that he had one foot in the coffin.

That's why he carried a coffin all day long when dealing with the plague, just to tell King Chu that he was not afraid of death.

Qi Chengjun walked forward slowly under the protection of many guards. Looking at the dark alley, Qi Chengjun suddenly curled his lips.

When the Jiangnan plague broke out, he did not die. He has made a profit by living to this day.

But who wants to die if he can live?

Qi Chengjun tightly grasped the medicinal powder hidden in his sleeve.

Before he came to Jiangnan, he specifically requested this medicinal powder from the Taiyuan Hospital for self-defense.

"Master Prefect, you should be more careful."

The further inside, the heavier the smell of blood became, and Qi Chengjun's expression became more and more serious.

He closed his eyes and already had a guess in his mind: "I'm afraid the people in this alley have been poisoned."

The guards following Qi Chengjun had obviously thought of this, and they all looked solemn. After a while, one of them said in a deep voice: "Prefect Qi, I'm afraid things won't go well today. We will definitely hold him back, you know? We must take this opportunity to return home quickly.”

Not only are there secret guards in Qi Chengjun's current residence, but the entire mansion has also been remodeled by them. As long as Qi Chengjun goes back to activate the mechanism without anyone leading him, it is absolutely impossible for these killers to break in.

These guards had the same idea as Qi Chengjun. From the moment they received the emperor's order to protect Qi Chengjun, they had already put life and death aside.

So even if they knew there was danger ahead, none of them would be timid or run away.
