Fengming Tianxia's Concubine Empress

Chapter 238 The First Battle of Jiangcheng

"You're here." Shang Junyuan said in a very flat tone.

"Yeah." Su Mei nodded slightly.

Shang Junyuan walked over, glanced at the local annals on the table, his eyes showed a look of appreciation, although this local annals described local diaries, it can be said that it is useless in the current situation, but that’s it Only a local chronicle can show a person's cultivation, he really read it right, she can indeed afford it!As expected of the woman he Shang Junyuan loves!
"How's the situation in the palace?" Seeing that he fell silent again, Su Mei couldn't help asking.

In the early morning, when Su Mei heard that Shang Junyuan had entered the palace, she guessed that something might have happened in the palace. In addition, now is the most critical moment, which is written in modern TV dramas and novels. At the critical moment of tomorrow, whoever can hold his breath and control the overall situation will be the final winner. Obviously, the current situation is not favorable to him at all.Now is the darkest time before dawn, if you miss one step, you will lose everything!
"Not too optimistic. Father looks seriously ill. It looks like he has been poisoned." Shang Junyuan looked very calm, and kept rubbing the note in his hand that was crumpled into a ball.

"Poisoned?" Su Mei asked subconsciously.

"Well, it's just that I'm not sure yet. I don't have a chance to feel the pulse of the emperor at all." Having said this, Shang Junyuan's expression became ruthless.

"Moreover, from the current point of view, most of the troops in the palace are controlled by the emperor's brother. Even if I have more than half of the military power in Shanghuang Kingdom, I am still the emperor's brother"

Shang Junyuan didn't continue, but Su Mei knew very clearly in her heart that she had lived for several centuries. Although she had never experienced such a thing, she had seen too many of them. The drama, one is better than the other, one is more tragic than the other, they all climbed to the high position by stepping on other people's corpses, but the high place is extremely cold, it is easy to fight the country, but it is very difficult to hold it.

For a moment, the whole study fell into silence, and even the sound of panting could be heard clearly.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door: "My lord, King Chengjun is asking to see you."

Butler Li's loyal voice sounded outside the door, Shang Junyuan frowned tightly when he heard it, as if asking: What is he here for?
This Chengjun King is the only king with a different surname in the entire Shanghuang Kingdom. His ancestors were great heroes who fought together with the emperor. After the founding of the country, he was named Chengjun King and enjoyed hereditary treatment.And it's a coincidence that the descendants of Chengjun King are more competitive than each other, and they are never arrogant. He has made great contributions, and now the Chengjun king has gone through fifteen generations, and the current Chengjun king is the No.16 generation.He once followed Shang Junyuan to attack the Dragon Feather Kingdom, and it was also in this battle that King Cheng made a lot of contributions. The battle in Jiangcheng was also thanks to his timely deployment of troops, which turned defeat into victory.

But why did he come here today?Shang Junyuan was very puzzled, they had very little contact with each other on weekdays, it could be said that they didn't communicate with each other, they just nodded and said hello in the hall.

"Tell him to come in." Shang Junyuan thought over and over again, and finally decided to meet him. Shang Junyuan knew that their ancestors were loyal ministers of the Shanghuang Kingdom for generations, so did he come here now for the sake of the country? ?
"Yes." Butler Li replied respectfully, and then he heard footsteps leaving.

After a while, footsteps sounded outside the door again, and Steward Li said, "My lord, King Chengjun is here."

"Well, come in."

Steward Li looked at Chengjun King humbly, and said, "Chengjun King, please."

"I'm sorry for the housekeeper." King Cheng replied politely.

The moment the door was opened, a white figure walked in.

It's strange, why do the men here like white clothes? Could it be that after fighting a lot, they like this spotless white clothes?Su Mei looked at him suspiciously and asked.

His hair was raised up high, his face was square and square, and his face was full of confidence, especially the pair of big eyes under the two sword-shaped eyebrows, shining brightly.In his early twenties, he showed his old way of going through vicissitudes.

When he looked at Su Mei beside Dao Shang Junyuan, his movements obviously froze for a moment, but a general is a general after all. Although he was puzzled, he had seen many such scenes, but in a flash, he recovered Chang Se saluted Shang Junyuan very respectfully.

"My minister has met King Qi."

"You don't need to be polite, King Cheng, please sit down."

"Yes, thank you King Qi." King Cheng Jun said and sat opposite Shang Junyuan, with a calm demeanor, not at all nervous and dull.

"The king of Chengjun came to this king today, and I don't know why?" Mingren didn't whisper in front of him, and Shang Junyuan didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point.

Just as King Cheng was about to speak, Su Mei poured him a cup of tea and brought it in front of him. King Cheng nodded politely at Su Mei, his expression relaxed a lot.

Seeing this scene, Su Mei smiled lightly, but said in her heart: So he just regarded me as King Qi's concubine, no wonder he looked so stern just now.

"I came here because I wanted to discuss something with the lord." Chengjun Wang turned his head and looked at Su Mei who was standing aside, as if he was wondering why she didn't go out yet.

Naturally, Shang Junyuan saw what he meant, and said with a gloomy face: "There are no outsiders here, but it's okay to become the king of the county!" As he said, Shang Junyuan picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.

King Chengjun was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that the woman who dared to love was really his concubine, but what could she do to make King Qi dote on her so much?

Although Shang Junyuan didn't care about these things, he didn't want others to look down on her.

"She is the king's counselor, and a woman will not give up to a man." Shang Junyuan said coldly.

King Chengjun was startled again, and looked at Su Mei in surprise, but unexpectedly, Su Mei smiled at him with a composed expression, calm and calm, but from this aspect alone, it was indeed a little different.

King Cheng smiled a little ashamedly, and said, "It's the humble minister who has become more disciplined."

"It doesn't matter, the king of Chengjun can just say it."

"Yes, my lord."

King Chengjun then explained the current situation of the entire imperial city in detail. Shang Junyuan's face became darker the more he heard it, and Su Mei, who was standing by the side, couldn't help feeling a little frightened. He didn't expect them to leave In the past few days, what happened, if they come back a few days later, the whole world will be changed.

"My lord, the current situation is not very optimistic. The emperor is still ill and cannot go to the court early. The humble officials and even most of the courtiers in the court cannot enter the palace. They don't know the real situation of the emperor. And now, the situation in the entire capital is very different. In the midst of a crisis, I heard that you, the lord, are still in court and have gone to the palace, so I rushed over here in a hurry."

Shang Junyuan remained silent, but got up and walked towards the window sill, standing with his hands behind his back.

Seeing that King Qi was unmoved, King Cheng was extremely anxious, but he had no choice but to stand up too, and then quickly knelt down behind Shang Junyuan with lightning speed, and said earnestly: "My lord, that's the way it is. As a lord, do you have the heart to watch Shanghuang Kingdom be destroyed in the hands of those treacherous villains?"

He couldn't care about anything else. The Shanghuang Kingdom is not only the dynasty of the Shang clan, but also the people of the whole world. If this country falls into the hands of people who are upright, ambitious and upright, it's okay to say, but it is about to fall. In the hands of Shang Junfeng, the King of Chu, no one in the world knows that he is treacherous, cunning, narrow-minded, arbitrary, and partial to listening and believing. If such a person is to be the emperor, then Shanghuang Kingdom will not be far from subjugation.

"Presumptuous!" Shang Junyuan turned around and yelled, "I should have never heard of such outrageous words. King Chengjun, I respect you as a man of flesh and blood. I don't care about you. Just go back."

"My lord, on behalf of other courtiers, I implore you, don't let this great river and mountain fall into the hands of those traitors, I beg you to think twice, I beg you to take responsibility for the people of the world!"

"Presumptuous! Father is still alive, and Chengjun Wang, you actually said such rebellious words, it's really intolerable!"

Then Shang Junyuan shouted to the door: "Come here, take King Chengjun to this king and imprison him!"

"Yes!" Two guards walked in aggressively, helped King Cheng who was on the ground, and dragged him towards the door.

King Chengjun showed surprise, with a painful expression on his face, and shouted: "My lord, think twice, my lord, it is not a pity for me to die, but you have to think twice, my lord!"

"Pull it down!" Shang Junyuan waved his hand violently, the expression on his face remained unchanged, ruthlessly terrifying.

Upon hearing this, King Chengjun's face was ashen, and he laughed loudly, shouting: "God wants to kill me! God wants to kill me!"

The yelling gradually faded away, and slowly disappeared. Su Mei didn't say a word, just looked at him quietly.She was very puzzled in her heart, obviously he didn't think so, why did he treat King Chengjun who was devoted to the country like this?Could it be that there is something hidden in it?

"Darkness!" Shang Junyuan shouted suddenly.

With a whoosh, An Ming appeared in the study and said respectfully, "Yes, master."

"My king ordered you to go to Chengjun Wang's mansion now, and protect Chengjun Wang's wives, concubines and children!"

"Yes."

Su Mei looked at Shang Junyuan in surprise, puzzled by his decision.

"You must be very strange." Shang Junyuan finally looked at Su Mei and said very tiredly.

Su Mei smiled lightly and said, "I believe in you."

Although Su Mei doesn't know what happened during this period, since it's an eventful time, then King Cheng must have thought about it a lot when he came to Qi Palace at this time. He is well aware of the whereabouts of any minister, and the reason why Shang Junyuan did this is also reasonable. On the contrary, he can deceive the enemy on the surface.

Shang Junyuan was startled, and his body couldn't help trembling. This sound is believed to be worth a thousand words, and it gave him great strength virtually.

"Thank you."

"What are you going to do next? Do you need my help?" Su Mei continued, her tone was much gentler unconsciously.

"You just need to watch quietly from the sidelines. At any time, nothing is more important than your safety." Shang Junyuan looked at Su Mei deeply, with a dazzling light in his eyes, and said: "This Just stay in the study for a few days, don't go anywhere, if necessary, I will call you anytime."

After finishing speaking, Shang Junyuan walked out without looking back, only Su Mei froze in place in astonishment.

It was night, several black figures rushed into Qi Wang's mansion quickly, and soon submerged in the pitch black night, they ran towards the east wing where Cheng Junwang was imprisoned.

But in the east wing, in the dark room, it was empty, not a single person was there.

I saw those black shadows skillfully opened the door of the east wing, and after entering the room, they quickly rotated the stone lion at the head of the bed, and then the wall at the head of the bed rotated away, and a bright light came from the wall It was projected out, illuminating most of the room.
