Lord Lan

Chapter 617
Su Julan said politely: "Lord Nine Emperors, you've wronged me. I'm just a temporary supporting role in the show. I follow the trend. The real protagonists have always been you and your imperial nephew. It's just that this play It's time to end the song now, Nine Emperor Lords, you lost."

The Ninth Emperor looked at Yan Hongxi unwillingly: "I didn't lose! If it wasn't for the Tang Lici I found to stand on the sidelines, and the demons would be hard-pressed, how could you win? Relying on Su Julan and her army, who is it?" Can win!"

Su Julan couldn't tolerate others insulting Tang Lici, and said coldly: "Nine Emperors, the army outside is not just mine! I think you still remember the four border deserted cities that were won by Yin Yueguo in the Xuanshen competition? I heard that at that time The old monarch was overjoyed because he won the Xuanshen competition, and he waved his hand to you, Hongxi, and the eldest prince to seal off the city as a reward. You and the eldest prince insisted on those rich towns, and forced Hongxi to take over these deserted cities. You probably Unexpectedly, the army outside was trained by me and him in these four deserted cities, and it took half a year of hard work!"

The Ninth Emperor stared at them with a pale face, and murmured, shaking his head, "No, I don't believe it! How can you train to be stronger than my army?!"

"Uncle Nine Emperors—" Yan Hongxi snorted, and said with a slow smile, "Why is it impossible? Is it because I am younger than you? Some things really cannot be decided by age alone."

The Ninth Emperor was trembling with anger, he raised the sword in his hand and suddenly stabbed at Yan Hongxi fiercely. The soldiers behind him also drew their swords out one after another, but the sword pointed precisely at each part of the Ninth Emperor's body while turning. place, and stopped him abruptly.

The Ninth Emperor looked in disbelief at holding him hostage with a sword, and it turned out to be soldiers who had followed him for many years, including General Lu whom he taught so carefully!
"Old Lu! I didn't expect you to betray me at this time?! Hehe, disaster is imminent, and all loyalty is fake!"

General Lu and the others looked at the Ninth Emperor calmly, and said, "The Ninth Emperor, the ministers have always been loyal."

The Ninth Emperor scolded: "Loyalty?! Shit, so now you are pointing at me with a sword and calling it loyalty?"

General Lu said: "Ninth Emperor, it is precisely because of loyalty that we draw our swords and point at you at this time, because we must protect the object of our allegiance - the crown prince."

The Ninth Emperor was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood: "You traitor! When did you betray the emperor? You have been with the emperor for ten years, and you actually betrayed the emperor?"

Yan Hongxi said with a deep laugh: "Uncle Nine Emperors, they have been with you for ten years. But do you know who they were with ten years ago? And who sent them to you as undercover agents?"

The Ninth Emperor looked at Yan Hongxi coldly, but he couldn't believe it, but he heard Yan Hongxi say with a smile: "It's your dear nephew, me!"

ten years ago?
Sent to you as an undercover agent?

Ten years ago, Yan Hongxi was still a child of five or six years old, did he have such deep scheming and long-term calculations back then...

The Ninth Emperor sadly found out that his nephew was so calculated, how could there be any reason for his failure?
He lost!
Completely lost!
The Ninth Emperor looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, spurting out a mouthful of blood.He grabbed the sword in his hand and turned around sharply, piercing his heart hard.

Before he died, he stared at Yan Hongxi with those hawk eyes, swallowed his blood and said, "Hongxi, you are indeed expected to be a king!"

Bucket after bucket of water was washed on the square. After hundreds of servants were busy, the blood stains around the high platform of the square have been washed clean. White bricks and bluestones are filled with rows of winter jasmine flowers, which symbolizes the beginning of spring this year. good sign.

Su Julan and Yan Hongxi finally returned to the palace wall.

Ao Chushang was still standing there, he watched the drastic changes inside and outside the palace, a chill surrounded him like a snake, making him tremble with fear.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head to look at the two people walking side by side, and said, "Since you have already joined forces to win, why didn't you stop the Ninth Emperor earlier, and have to wait for him to jump out and kill so many people?"

Yan Hongxi's expression was as calm as water, and he couldn't tell what was going on in his mind, he just looked at Ao Chushang and smiled, "You don't understand?"

Ao Chushang shook his head.

Yan Hongxi smiled again, and said tactfully, "You don't understand, it seems that you are not expected to be a king." Then he turned around and looked at the sea of ​​flowers all over the square, letting the strong wind ravage his robes, making a sound of hunting.

Ao Chushang looked at Su Julan behind him, and she said: "Chu Shang, if you don't stop the Ninth Emperor, you deliberately let him coup, just to let him jump out. If he doesn't jump out, how can we get rid of him in a fair and honest manner. If you don't get rid of him, how can you take power openly?"

Ao Chushang asked: "Where is the Ninth Emperor now? Did you kill him?"

Su Julan said: "We didn't do anything, he committed suicide."

Ao Chushang paused, and at this moment, Yan Hongxi suddenly laughed in a low voice: "Actually, he doesn't need to commit suicide at all." There is no need to commit suicide, but it is a pity that his character is like this. Well, at least he can still leave a good impression in my heart, and it is worth worshiping him every year in the future."

Ao Chushang looked at the unpredictable Yan Hongxi: "I really don't understand, how did your brains calculate these things?"

Yan Hongxi smiled and said: "When things come to an end, no one can be said to be absolutely sure. I just know the character of Uncle Jiuhuang better than any of you. Ju Lan, Ao Chushang, go back and rest first. I want to be alone here quietly, and I have to prepare to meet my imperial grandfather later."

Su Julan nodded, seeing Ao Chushang hesitant to speak, she insisted on taking him away.

At the gate of the lower city, she stopped suddenly, took out a handful of black and white confetti from her cuff, and handed it to him, saying, "Chu Shang, since the Ninth Emperor died and the coup failed, your contract with him will also be invalidated." .But in the future, don't do such stupid things again."

Ao Chushang took over the torn contract in a daze, and the flames suddenly ignited, burning the black and white letters.He smiled bitterly and said, "Compared to Yan Hongxi, I'm really stupid. When I decided to write this contract, I thought a lot about it. I must never do anything that would ruin the power and humiliate the country, but I was also afraid that something would happen to you, so I decided that as long as my If you don’t become a king, you can have the best of both worlds. Facts have proved that no matter whether this contract is valid or not, I am not expected to be a king.”

After Ao Chushang finished speaking, his gaze was like lightning, and he looked closely at Su Julan: "I decided to leave Jinling City today, and you, wouldn't you leave with me?"

Su Julan shook her head: "No. Chu Shang, on the way back home, protect yourself well."

"I know." Ao Chushang nodded, hesitantly stretched out his hand and put it on her cheek, gently painted it, and forced a smile: "In the past, Ying Si would spoil you unscrupulously when he was by your side, but it's me, this paragraph Time obviously didn't take care of you, I'm sorry. After I'm gone, take care of yourself."
