I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

"Well, this is a blood feud. No matter who killed the empress, the empress died in the territory of Dazhou after all, and Jiang Linglong will have to pay the price for it. Dazhou, wait for the revenge of our Yan country! "

Dozens of great masters quickly withdrew to the territory of Yan State, taking the bodies of Yan State Crown Princess Zhu Feng and Jian Shi. Their current location is close to the Great Zhou side. Once discovered by the Great Zhou cavalry, they will be considered as intruders.

Soon, dozens of great masters returned to the Yan side. There were thousands of palace guards there, wearing iron armor and holding spears, looking majestic. The leader, dressed in civil official attire, is none other than the Prime Minister of Yan State, Yu Wen Honghao!

Yuwen Honghao was Zhu Feng's confidant. In recent years, Zhu Feng had been lurking in Dazhou to run trade. The domestic affairs of the Yan Kingdom were mainly left to Yuwen Honghao to manage, thus creating Yuwen Honghao's "Yan Kingdom". The title of "First Powerful Minister".

This title is not a derogatory term, at least in the country of Yan. From the civil and military officials to the common people, they all think that Yu Wen Honghao is the most powerful official. This man was born in a poor family, but he has the talent to govern the world. Zhu Feng takes power After that, he was promoted to prime minister to assist him in governing the country.

Due to his origin, Yu Wen Honghao had no interest or nepotism relationship with the royal family of Yan State, so he was often able to enforce the law impartially. In many major cases, he did not favor the privileged classes such as princes and nobles, and was deeply loved by the people. In addition, Yuwen Honghao also has another characteristic, that is loyalty.

When Zhu Feng made an exception and promoted him to prime minister, Yu Wen Honghao kowtowed to Zhu Feng a hundred times in the court. Even after everyone retreated from the court, he still knelt down to repay Zhu Feng for his support. In the past few years, Zhu Feng was out of the country and unable to preside over the government. Before presiding over the daily morning court, he would routinely lead the civil and military officials to kneel down to a statue of Zhu Feng before starting to proceed with the subsequent matters. He was very grateful to Zhu Feng. Respect.

Last time, the royal family and nobles of the Yan Kingdom joined forces to force the palace, and found dozens of reasons to attack Zhu Feng, believing that Zhu Feng was neither qualified nor capable of holding the throne of the Yan Kingdom. In that meeting, Yuwen Honghao always insisted on standing by Zhu Feng. On Feng's side, he was fighting with the Confucian scholars. When the debate reached its peak, he even threatened members of the royal family with suicide, showing his loyalty to Zhu Feng.

This time, he received the news that Zhu Feng was about to return to the country, and rushed to the border area in person to greet Zhu Feng. He knew very well that Zhu Feng's return this time must be to work hard and truly make up his mind to take over the imperial power of the Yan Kingdom. However, he led the crowd to wait for almost a day and a night. Seeing that the agreed time had been exceeded for half a day, he hurriedly sent dozens of great masters to "smuggle" into Dazhou under the cover of night to search for Zhu Feng's whereabouts .

When the ten great masters returned, Yu Wen Honghao was so excited that he knelt on the ground respectfully in advance, but what he was waiting for was bad news.

"Master Prime Minister, my wife is dead!"

"What?" The smile on Yuwen Honghao's face froze for a moment. He stood up suddenly and stared at Zhu Feng's body in disbelief. His face turned pale in an instant, and his chest seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, making him almost A little suffocating. In anger, the eyes of the most powerful official in the Yan Kingdom became bloodshot in an instant.

"Prime Minister, please don't worry, in case we make a mistake. I remember that the empress has a substitute, and that substitute looks almost exactly like the empress." The royal families of various countries, as long as they are important figures, will generally look for several substitutes. , to prevent assassination or assassination, which is a very common way to save lives at the end of the war between countries. Naturally, the Yan Kingdom is no exception. Zhu Feng found a substitute a long time ago and always takes him with him. It's just that the substitute Zhu Feng was looking for was not mainly to prevent assassinations from enemies abroad, but from assassinations within the Yan Kingdom. Those royal nobles of the Yan Kingdom who opposed her coming to power, as well as the conservatives who opposed her reform of the Yan Kingdom, all wanted her to die early.

"Publish the obituary, the Crown Princess passed away!" Yu Wen Honghao looked extremely sad and waved his hands feebly. He had almost no strength to give the order, and all the energy and energy in his body was drained away at this moment. Zhu Feng carved the spirit of the Demon Emperor Bell on his back in the form of a tattoo. There were no more than four people who knew about this, and he was one of them.

In fact, he was responsible for this matter, and he executed the tattoo artist afterwards to prevent the secret from being leaked. Therefore, when he saw that a whole piece of skin had been cut off from the back of the corpse, he determined that this person was not a substitute, but Zhu Feng himself.

"Also, pass on the order to strengthen the defense of the Demon Emperor Bell!" Yu Wen Honghao ordered weakly. The situation before him was extremely clear. Da Zhou wanted to take away the Demon Emperor Bell and brutally cut off the tattoo on the Crown Princess’s back in order to take away the spirit of the Demon Emperor Bell.

"Master Prime Minister, we will set off immediately to the secret realm to protect the Demon Emperor Bell." Although dozens of great masters do not know about the weapon spirit, since Yu Wen Honghao has given the order, they will carry it out to the letter. . After the news of Zhu Feng's death spreads, Yan State will surely fall into civil strife, and they must first stabilize themselves internally.

"Prime Minister, we have an urgent report!" At this moment, a general in armor ran over in a hurry, holding the red claws of a homing pigeon in his hand.

Yuwen Honghao, who was in deep sorrow, was not in the mood to read any urgent reports at this time. He immediately shook his head and motioned to the general to consider the matter on his own.

"Sir, you have to read this secret report. It comes from the Emperor's Mausoleum!" the general said anxiously. He took off the letter paper from the paw of the carrier pigeon, which was tightly wrapped in beeswax. There was also a symbol symbolizing the imperial mausoleum of the Yan Kingdom, which only their insiders knew.

When Yu Wen Honghao heard the word "Emperor's Mausoleum", he immediately had an extremely bad premonition in his heart and had to take the secret letter and check the news. The treasure of the Yan Kingdom, the Demon Emperor's Bell, one of the eight ancient artifacts, has its spirit sealed on Zhu Feng's body in the form of a tattoo, and its body is hidden in the deepest secret of the Yan Kingdom's imperial mausoleum.

There are six top Grand Masters and tens of thousands of elite soldiers there to guard the safety of the Imperial Tomb. One of their tasks is not only to ensure the safety of the Imperial Tomb and prevent theft and destruction, but also to ensure the safety of the Demon Emperor Bell. When the Emperor's Mausoleum suddenly received a letter, Yu Wenhong Haobi realized that something might have happened to the Demon Emperor Bell itself!

Sure enough, the facts were as he expected. The tombkeeper of the Imperial Mausoleum said in a secret letter that a powerful enemy invaded the Imperial Mausoleum in the afternoon, killed six great masters, and took away the Demon Emperor Bell! (End of chapter)
