Chapter 98 Dingnan Hou

"Eight hundred miles urgent report!"

Cao Guang's face looked very ugly, and he ran into the prince's palace with a panicked expression.

Li Tai, who was sitting at his desk reading a memorial, couldn't help but frown when he saw his frightened expression.

"Why are you so alarmed?"

"Something bad is going to happen!"

Cao Guang took a breath and finally calmed down:

"Chi Kuan and the others... are dead!"

"what!"

Upon hearing the news, Li Tai's face changed instantly.

He stood up suddenly, knocking the water cup and memorials on the desk to the ground.

Did something go wrong?
The commander of the imperial guards, Chi Kuan, the most skilled warrior in the palace,

It's dead!

He is at the third level of martial arts!
In the entire Daqian, there are only a handful of people who are stronger than him!

"In the end what happened?"

"Your Highness..."

Cao Guang wiped the sweat off his face and said in a trembling voice:

"Chi Kuan followed His Highness' instructions and contacted the Su family in Yuzhou, and then arranged a Hongmen Banquet at the Su family..."

Chen Song, who escaped, quickly sent the whole story to the capital via carrier pigeon.

The Su family arranged a Hongmen Banquet and used secret medicine to try to fascinate Li Mu and kill him.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not fall into the trap at all, but instead killed many warriors of the Su family.

Chi Kuan and others came on the scene, only to find that Li Mu's swordsmanship was far beyond their imagination.

In a critical situation, Chi Kuan protected Chen Song and helped him break out.

After Chen Song broke through, Chi Kuan and the others were all killed by Li Mu...

Hearing this, Li Tai's face turned pale.

His facial muscles twisted and the pen in his palm broke instantly.

The deposed prince's swordsmanship is so terrifying!
And he had been hiding it so well before!
Almost everyone in Daqian was kept in the dark by him!

Now, he actually killed Chi Kuan and others directly.

He's not pretending anymore, is he?
Yuzhou is less than three hundred miles away from the border!
Just by crossing the border, he entered the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Thinking of this, Li Tai’s face turned from pale to blue with anger.

"Trash, it's all trash!"

He slammed the desk hard with his palm.

boom!
The desk shattered in an instant, and the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone were scattered all over the floor.

"Immediately send someone to Tiangu Pass to kill that useless Li Si!"

This useless uncle actually allowed Li Mu to grow powerful right under his nose, and he didn't even know that the other party's swordsmanship had reached such a high level!

What's the point of keeping him!

"Send another person to the cold palace and kill that woman immediately!"

Li Tai gritted his teeth and said:
"I want fifty, no..."

"A hundred men!"

"I want her to die without a single piece of intact flesh on her body!"

"Your Highness!"

Cao Guang sighed softly.

He looked at Li Tai, who was extremely angry and almost hysterical, with complicated eyes.

"I think you shouldn't kill General Li Si at this time, let alone the deposed queen!"

"Ok?"

Li Tai was slightly startled.
He turned to look at Cao Guang, his eyes full of confusion and anger.

"Why does the factory manager say that?" Cao Guang sighed again:
"The deposed crown prince has killed Chi Kuan, and he will soon enter the border."

"Everything has been set in stone. Killing General Li Si now would be like killing the donkey after it has served its purpose!"

"Besides, General Li Si is your uncle after all, and he controls the troops at Tiangu Pass, so he is your helper. If you kill him now, wouldn't that be like cutting off an arm of your own?"

After hearing Cao Guang's words, Li Tai gradually calmed down from his anger that had almost made him lose his mind.

He slowly returned to his seat, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"What the factory owner said is right. Although that idiot is useless, he at least controls the troops of Tiangu Pass, so he is a help to me!"

"but……"

An angry look appeared on his face again:

"If I don't kill the deposed queen, I won't be happy!"

Cao Guang shook his head:

"The deposed queen has been banished to the cold palace. Although she no longer has any power in the palace, the ministers who supported the deposed prince are still watching!"

"If you have her killed, it will be detrimental to your reputation if the news gets out!"

"Besides, if the deposed queen is in your hands, no matter how strong Li Mu is, she will be cautious and will always be a chess piece in your hands!"

"With the deposed queen here, Li Mu dares not return to the capital, let alone do anything bad to Your Highness!"

After listening to Cao Guang's words, Li Tai sat there with a gloomy face, his eyes constantly changing.

Cao Guang is right.

The deposed queen was nothing more than a woman who had lost all her rights and support and was banished to the cold palace!
If he wanted to kill him, he could do it at any time.

However, having her in hand is equivalent to pinching Li Mu's weak spot.

No matter how strong Li Mu is, he will be cautious and can only abide by the one-year deadline with himself!
"Your Highness!"

Cao Guang thought for a moment and said:

"It is said that Yuwen Ba, the commander of Tianwu Pass in the southwest, has already entered the high realm of the third-grade Martial Marquis, and is only one step away from becoming the second-grade Martial King!"

"There are many martial artists in his Tianwu Army. I think he could be of some use!"

Li Tai frowned slightly:

"Yuwen Ba is a local lord, his martial arts power has reached the peak, and he has always claimed to be neutral. Is he really willing to be used by me?"

Cao Guang shook his head and smiled:
"No one in this world is perfect. Everyone has his weaknesses and hobbies!"

"Some people love beauty, some people love money, and some people love power!"

"And this Yuwen Ba is a noble prince, he has power, beauty and money, and now the one he loves the most is his only son!"

……

Southwest of Daqian, Tianwu Pass!

Dingnan Marquis Yuwenba sat upright in the mansion, looking at Chen Song who was standing before him respectfully with his hands clasped.

It seemed like thousands of miles from Qiandu to Tianwu Pass. At this time, Li Tai had no time to send other people, so he directly sent a pigeon to order Chen Song to ride as fast as possible to Tianwu Pass to meet Yuwen Ba.

Yuwen Ba was a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and sturdy. He sat there in iron armor, like an unshakable mountain.

When he looked at Chen Song, two cold rays of light radiated from his eyes.

Although the other party was just a palace guard, he came on behalf of the third prince.

Although Yuwen Ba, like many people in the Daqian Army, remained neutral in the struggle for royal power, he had to see the Third Prince.

But when he looked at Chen Song, there was no respect in his eyes.

Yes, just contempt.

He is nothing more than a dog under the feet of the Third Prince.

If the dog hadn't brought a message from its master, Yuwen Ba wouldn't even look at him!
"What's the matter, Third Prince? Please tell me now!"

Yuwen Ba spoke in a cold tone, seeming very impatient.

Chen Song smiled, but still behaved very respectfully.

The person in front of him was the most powerful martial arts master in the southwest of Daqian, Marquis Dingnan, who was only one step away from becoming a second-grade martial king!
If the other party is unhappy, he can turn you into ashes with a wave of his hand!

"My Lord, I am here on behalf of the Third Prince to present you with a generous gift!"
