Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 22 Everything is ready
Empress Xiao followed Aunt Rong's words and spoke in a heavy tone with a frown.

After a pause, he added worriedly, "If you pay close attention, it won't be difficult to detect the traitor's actions. The Yuwen clan's rebellion is a foregone conclusion, and the outbreak is imminent!"

"The Yuwen clan is indeed full of wicked ambitions. I never thought they would dare to rebel. They are simply courting death. I will definitely kill a few more of them!"

Dugu Feng held the sword with a fierce look in her eyes, and scolded repeatedly with a frosty face.

The Dugu and Yuwen families were both among the four major families of the Sui Dynasty, and their roots were both in the court. Naturally, the relationship between the two families was not harmonious, and open and secret struggles were commonplace.

Empress Xiao gently warned, "Don't be impulsive! Especially... Tianbao is invincible. If you see him, avoid him. Xiao Feng'er probably can't withstand three of his moves!"

"Yes!"

Dugu Feng puffed her cheeks in obvious dissatisfaction, but she bit her rosy lips tightly and gripped the hilt of the sword as she responded.

As both a child of destiny and a spiritual master, Dugu Feng knew she was no match for Yuwen Chengdu. However, she didn't believe he couldn't withstand her three moves!
"Don't be dissatisfied! What the Queen said is the truth. In the whole world, except for one person, no one can defeat Yuwen Chengdu head-on, including celestial beings. There are not many people of the same realm who can withstand three of his moves. Therefore, it is best to avoid it and avoid a head-on fight to avoid unnecessary losses and sacrifices!"

Seeing Dugu Feng's reaction, Xiao Ying frowned and solemnly warned him. After a pause, he continued, "However, don't worry too much! Based on my understanding of Yuwen Chengdu, he won't participate in the rebellion. In all likelihood, he will stay in the Yuwen Mansion! If the plan is well planned, it is possible to force him to commit suicide!"

"what?"

"Force him to commit suicide?!"

Everyone was stunned, and several people were speechless.

The Yuwen clan was notorious for its arrogance and misdeeds. However, Yuwen Chengdu had a good reputation. Despite his arrogance, he was recognized for his integrity and loyalty. Otherwise, he would not have been so favored by two generations of Sui emperors.

With his qualifications, he does have the capital to be arrogant, and there is nothing wrong with that.

But, to force him to commit suicide, do you think he's a fool?!

Xiao Ying smiled and asked, "It's hard to be both proud and righteous! Besides committing suicide, what else can I do?"

"That guy isn't that stupid..."

Empress Chen rolled her eyes, tilted her head to glance at Xiao Ying, and muttered in a low voice, as if saying again: Do you think he is stupid, or do you think we are stupid?
"It's possible, but the probability is very low. Don't think too much..."

Empress Xiao spat unhappily, then frowned and asked curiously, "Brother Ying said that there is only one person in the world who can defeat him head-on. Who is it?"

Everyone was silent, staring at Xiao Ying with the same confusion and curiosity...

"The youngest fool who rebelled against the Tang Emperor..."

Xiao Ying said slowly and seriously without hesitation:

"Li Yuanba!"

"Li Yuanba? Does the rebel Li Yuan have such a son?" Madam Ronghua was puzzled and thoughtful, muttering to herself.

Empress Chen stared intently, questioning, "Isn't that possible? If there were such a monster, how could he be unknown?"

Most of the people present also looked confused, as they had never heard of such a person!
"That's right! You must be trying to scare Xiao Feng'er, fearing that she will act impulsively. There is no such person at all, right!"

Without waiting for Xiao Ying to answer, Empress Chen's pretty face lit up, thinking she was smart, and she kept shouting, as if I had guessed it right.

"Is Tang Li hiding so deeply? No wonder he dared to occupy the capital..."

Empress Xiao frowned and spoke slowly. Seeing everyone's attention, she nodded and continued, "Li Yuan indeed has such a son. I heard that he is as thin as a monkey and has supernatural powers, but he is born stupid. He is not taken seriously and is not even recognized as a member of the Tang Li family. Therefore, not many people know about him! Unexpectedly, he is actually the strongest trump card of the Tang Li family..." "Ah? It really exists..." Empress Chen's expression froze, she blinked her big eyes, and murmured innocently.

Many people immediately looked at Xiao Ying in surprise. They didn't expect that Xiao Ying, who had shown little performance before, could know this secret!

This is the transformation!
Everyone subconsciously believed it.

If Xiao Ying had said this before, wouldn't he have been questioned and questioned?
"How are things being arranged? Have the people in the palace, the various families, sects, gangs, and other forces been notified?"

Xiao Ying didn't want to discuss this any further, so she took the initiative to change the subject and asked Aunt Lan, the chief steward.

It's not that I want to unite many forces to fight against the rebel camp, or have high hopes for them. It's purely to make things difficult for the rebel forces and buy as much time as possible so that I can fish in troubled waters!
"Basically, we've been notified, and the news of the rebellion has spread! However, not many people believe it, or they're just pretending to be ignorant. Not many forces have gathered at the Dugu Mansion..."

Aunt Lan nodded, shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

It was not until this time that Empress Xiao, Aunt Lan and others knew why Xiao Ying rushed to Qiling Temple in the first place.

The trend is over!

Lady Xuanhua sighed worriedly, "I never thought the Xiaoguo Army and Xiaoguo Imperial Guards, who are considered the strongest and most loyal, would actually rebel. Most of them have already been instigated, and we discovered it a little too late!"

"It's mainly because of Your Majesty... Your Majesty's performance has been extremely disappointing lately. He's no longer trusted or recognized! Those traitors were only promised to be taken home. It's not necessarily true that you're so loyal to them!"

Empress Xiao glanced at Xiao Ying, hesitated, and spoke slowly in a heavy tone.

"..."

The atmosphere became tense. This was the first time that Empress Xiao accused and criticized Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty!

As intelligence gathered, Empress Xiao, who had been quite confident, felt increasingly helpless and powerless, and she gradually began to feel resentful towards the Sui Emperor who had completely given up!
"This is the general trend of the times. Most of the Xiaoguo Army and the Imperial Guards are just following the crowd. To put it bluntly, they are simply being swept along by the general trend. As long as the rebellion is thwarted, we still have a chance!"

Lady Xuanhua Chen Yiqing analyzed rationally with a sad face.

Lady Xuanhua was the daughter of Emperor Xuan of the Chen Dynasty, Chen Xu, and the half-sister of Emperor Hou of the Chen Dynasty, Chen Shubao. She had experienced the helplessness, powerlessness, and frustration of the country's destruction and the demise of her family. She knew the horror of the general trend and felt it more deeply, so much so that even her name had this flavor.

"That's enough! If things can't be done, let the Dugu clan and other forces unite or help each other, defend themselves strictly, and wait for the situation to change!"

Xiao Ying nodded in approval, but gave instructions with satisfaction and confidence as if to comfort everyone.

"Understood! The news has spread. The longer we delay, the more chaotic Jiangdu will become. The more difficult it will be for the traitors to stabilize the situation, the more advantageous it will be for us, and the greater our chances of a comeback!"

Aunt Lan nodded in response, adding, "Both sides are buying time. This is one of the main reasons why Her Majesty has concluded that the rebellion will erupt as soon as tonight or tomorrow!"

Empress Xiao, Lady Xuanhua and others nodded, expressing their approval of this statement and plan!

"Sister! I want to take away a group of elite soldiers to lurk in secret, unite forces, wait for an opportunity, and disrupt the situation. The rest will stay and train and practice with all their strength. Sister can only remotely control them. No matter what, they cannot leave Qiling Temple even a single step."

Xiao Ying frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Empress Xiao and asked.

In the previous life, the Yuwen family was able to seize power and usurp the throne so quickly because of the sudden outbreak. Let’s see what they will do this time!
"no!"

Empress Xiao scolded decisively without hesitation!
