The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Emperor Yan looked at the three people in front of him, with hesitation in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is trustworthy... Why don't you trust him once?!" Luo Qing said from the side.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan closed his eyes and sighed.

"My eighth son is a rare talent, so I naturally trust him... You, go away! I want to be alone..." Emperor Yan waved his hand to everyone.

He did not mention killing his son again. In fact, he couldn't bear to do it in his heart, but in order to create a stable position for his son Jiang Fan, he really wanted to do it.

However, what several people said was right. Why didn't he trust his son once? Or, if he really had a way, it would not be too late for him to take action if it really didn't work.

Upon hearing this, several people looked at each other and retreated silently, while Luo Qing disappeared back into the darkness.

On the other side, Chu Xinghe, Ning Zhen and Su Yuanguang all encountered assassination attempts. However, because of the reminders from Chu Yan'er and Su Yuqing, the three were well prepared. Even if those assassins had made every possible effort, they were 100% sure that their assassinations would be successful.

But in the end, they all failed. Although the assassins were all very powerful, the guards under the three men had long been replaced by white-robed soldiers.

Even though their fighting power could not match that of the assassins, they had revolvers in their hands, and none of the assassins escaped.

However, all of these assassins committed suicide in the end, and no useful clues or evidence could be found from their mouths.

Although the assassination attempt by the Five Surnames and Seven Families failed, they did not give up. They relied on the fact that Emperor Yan was afraid of them and did not attack them. Therefore, the number of assassination attempts increased.

Even within the palace, Emperor Yan encountered several assassination attempts, but with the presence of the master Luo Qing, the assassins failed.

Chu Xinghe, Ning Zhen and Su Yuanguang were also heavily guarded by the white-robed soldiers, and the assassins failed in their several assassination attempts. As for the people in the Prince Qin's Mansion, they were as steady as a rock, and the assassins could not find any opportunity.

Not to mention, there are three masters in the Qin Palace now, what kind of assassin can succeed? !

On the other side, Jiang Fan had just developed the steam engine not long ago when he received news from Yanjing.

When he heard that everyone in the Qin Palace had been assassinated, his eyes were filled with frost. He said goodbye to the pregnant Li Changle and rode a fast horse to Yanjing.

Li Changle will give birth in four months. Although Jiang Fan wants to accompany her in Daxi, what happened in Yanjing forces him to rush back as soon as possible.

Although Li Changle was reluctant, she also knew the importance of the matter and could only bid farewell to Jiang Fan reluctantly. Jiang Fan could only comfort her, saying that if the matter in Yanjing could be resolved earlier, he would come to Daxi to accompany Li Changle in giving birth.

Jiang Fan left behind all the troops from Zhoufu and the troops he brought with him, and only took a thousand cavalrymen back.

With the troops he left behind and Dashi already on the right track, Li Changle's position will be very stable.

When Jiang Fan was rushing to Dayan, he gave orders to Li Yunzhuo in Jinzhou, asking Li Yunzhuo to send 20,000 cavalry to meet him.

In addition, he also wrote a letter to Chu Yan'er, asking her to set up commercial outlets throughout Dayan and distribute various commodities to all parts of Dayan as quickly as possible.

At the same time, Jiang Fan transferred 100,000 of the 150,000 Zhenxi troops left at the Daxi border, and 50,000 of the remaining 100,000 Zhenyuan troops at the Beimeng border. He also transferred another 30,000 from Huaining Prefecture.

Together with the 20,000 Jinzhou troops under his command, Jiang Fan's troops reached 200,000. All the troops began to disperse to various regions of Dayan from several directions.

After he received Chu Yan'er's letter, he knew what was going on in Yanjing. After the Five Surnames and Seven Families learned about his Great Western Dynasty's series of actions, they became afraid and wanted to stir up trouble.

Their idea was simple. They wanted to change the dynasty while Jiang Fan was away from the capital and replace him with a prince they could control as emperor.

Moreover, the figure of Lao Liu Jiang Zheng is among them. Some of those killers are desperate criminals in the underworld, and some are killers from the Blood Cloud Tower.

They assassinated everyone in the Prince Qin's Mansion in order to eliminate Jiang Fan's greatest reliance in the capital, and finally, eliminate Jiang Fan's other reliances one by one.

But they underestimated the abilities of Chu Yan'er and Su Yuqing, and also underestimated the fighting power of the Prince Qin's Mansion. Even though they spent a huge amount of money to find the two notorious masters, Dong E and Xi Xiong, from the martial arts world, they returned empty-handed in the end.

The reason why they haven't used their family's power yet is that they are worried about a complete fall out. However, I'm afraid they have already made preparations and may make a big move at any time.

The reason why Jiang Fan made so many preparations was because he was ready to take action against the Five Surnames and Seven Families. Since the relationship had already been torn apart, there was no need to hesitate, just do it!

He had long had the idea of ​​attacking the Five Surnames and Seven Families. If it were in the past, Jiang Fan might have hesitated. After all, if he was not fully prepared, breaking off relations with the other party would only lead to a huge backlash.

But now, after nearly three years of development, the power reserved by Dayan alone is enough to compete with the Five Surnames and Seven Families, not to mention that it also has the backing of the Great Western Dynasty.

By now, Jiang Fan of the Great Western Dynasty has already made many arrangements, whether it is the reserve of talents, or food, money, strategic materials and so on!

Of all the workshops currently run in the Great Western Dynasty, at least 80% belong to Jiang Fan.

The industries involved are too numerous to count. In an economic war, the five surnames and seven families may not be his opponents.

As for launching an armed struggle, he was even less afraid! The army he could mobilize was not just a handful.

He can mobilize the army of Dayan at will. This is the power given to Jiang Fan by the Emperor of Yan. Since the beginning of the war with Dashi, the Emperor of Yan gave Jiang Fan the right to mobilize all the armies of Dayan.

Not to mention, Jiang Fan has trained more than 400,000 troops in the Great Western Dynasty!

At the same time, the five surnames and seven families in Yanjing also received the news of Jiang Fan's return. The five surnames among them secretly came to the Cui family again. As for the seven families, they only sent four representatives.

Among the five families, the Li family had an ambiguous attitude and did not contribute any effort except for money. Among the seven families, four families contributed both money and effort.

As for the remaining three families, they maintained a wait-and-see attitude and did not join the actions of the Five Surnames and Seven Families against Jiang Fan.

"Brother Cui, Jiang Fan should be back in Yanjing in a few days. What should we do now?" At this time, the head of the Wang family, Wang Xianzhi, looked at Cui Jing and said.

"He should know what happened recently. If he comes back, we might be in danger." Zheng Xinghe, the head of the Zheng family, said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, the other people nodded. They were very aware of how powerful Jiang Fan was. He had pacified Nanyue, captured Dashi, and conquered Beimeng, and even Liao and Xia were under the control of Jiang Fan.

None of the court officials who had fought with Jiang Fan before had a good ending in the end, as they had already been submissive.
