Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

The Marquis of Zhennan looked at him coldly, "Ning Zhiwei is already at the gates of the city, are you going to give her an excuse to cause trouble?"

General Ma was very unconvinced. "Anyone with eyesight knows that she will not protect the Southern Emperor. They have a grudge against each other. She cannot be a royalist. However, she has no grudge against us. We can talk."

Marquis Zhennan felt that he was blinded by power and this was not the right time for him to take the lead.

"What the hell, if we start a rebellion, she will have a legitimate reason to go to war, and the people of the world will stand on her side."

At least, it’s still hidden now.

"My Lord." General Ma was very unwilling. How would he know if he didn't try?

Marquis Zhennan sighed softly. To be honest, he regretted it now. If he had known this would happen, he should not have gotten involved in this mess.

Now, it’s stuck here, neither going up nor down.

"Fight well. If it doesn't work, we can retreat back to our home in the southwest."

He was the local emperor of the southwest and had the final say in everything. He lived a very comfortable life. However, everything was ruined because of a single thought.

"Yes."

At this moment, a servant hurried in and said, "My Lord, the Emperor is looking for you."

Marquis Zhennan wanted to sigh again. His daughter asked someone to bring a message saying that the emperor's temper was getting worse and worse. When he woke up and didn't see her, he punished her to kneel in the yard, which made her lose face.

"I'll be back as soon as I go."

When he rushed over, Nan Di was eating. Seeing him, he warmly invited him to have a meal with him.

Marquis Zhennan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to be in a good mood.

He asked with concern, "Your Majesty, are you awake? Are you okay?"

Nandi smiled and said, "I'm much better now, uncle, you should eat something too."

The Marquis of Zhennan sat on a stool not far away. "That's great, Your Majesty. As long as you are safe and sound, I will be relieved."

The palace servant brought a meal and placed it in front of him, and the Marquis of Zhennan took a few bites.

Seeing this, the Southern Emperor's eyes flickered slightly, "Ning Zhiwei's troops are coming down from the city, which is extremely treasonous. Uncle, you should lead the troops out of the city and kill her."

The Marquis of Zhennan sighed softly. The emperor did not know how to fight a war at all. "Go out of the city to fight? No, no, what we have to do now is to close the city gates tightly and defend it."

Emperor Nan's eyes were sinister, "Uncle, I just want Ning Zhiwei to die."

Zhennan Hou thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to assassinate her. Once she dies, we will be leaderless and our dilemma will be solved."

The Southern Emperor had thought of this a long time ago and had sent out secret guards to assassinate her. However, Ning Zhiwei was surrounded by layers of guards, making it difficult to get close to her.

"Uncle is still awesome, let's have some tea."

The Marquis of Zhennan patted his chest and assured, "Your Majesty, you can relax. With me here, the capital is as solid as a rock."

"Okay, I'll leave it all to you, uncle."

Outside, there was a noise, "It's bad, it's bad."

Zhennan Hou frowned, "What's going on?"

The palace servant loudly reported, "We just received news that the unruly people in the city have begun to attack the houses of officials and wealthy merchants. They said they have no food and are starving to death, so they are looking for a few people to take their lives with them before they die."

The Southern Emperor was furious. "What a bunch of unruly people, all they know is eating."

The Marquis of Zhennan could no longer sit still, "Your Majesty, I will take people to suppress it right away."

"Go."

Marquis Zhennan soon discovered that the seemingly disorganized people were actually not chaotic. They had clear division of labor, with dedicated commanders and guards.

They set fires and injured people, but once they were warned, they did not fight back, but just stole things and ran away.

In one city, there were more than a dozen similar incidents, and the Marquis of Zhennan and his men were running around in a hurry.

This went on for three days in a row. Officials and wealthy businessmen in the city were terrified and demanded a thorough investigation.

But somehow, I couldn't find the whereabouts of these people.

Marquis Zhennan found it unbelievable, how could this be possible?

It was late at night and Marquis Zhennan couldn't sleep. He had a bad feeling and was extremely anxious these days.

He simply called his confidants to discuss important matters.

"How come you can't find anything when I ask you to check?"

Everyone discussed for a long time, "My Lord, I feel there are many insiders."

Zhennan Hou's heart skipped a beat. "An insider?"

The subordinate frowned, "Yes, this is obviously an organized plan with clear goals, and they seem to be very familiar with the situation of each family."

In fact, Marquis Zhennan had suspected it a long time ago, but he was unwilling to believe it.

What is the picture?

"I give you three days to find the culprit."

At this moment, a man stumbled in, his face full of fear, "My Lord, it's bad, the west city gate has been breached, and the Ning family army has entered the city."

The city gate was broken? Everyone's expression changed. "What did you say? Say it again."

"How is this possible? We didn't even hear any sound of siege."

The man's face was as pale as paper. "Someone quietly opened the city gate to welcome the Ning family army into the city."

Everyone was shocked and angry. Is this surrendering to the enemy?

"How is this possible? The city gates are guarded by layers of soldiers. Ordinary people can't get close."

The subordinate asked unexpectedly, "What if it's an inside job?"

Upon hearing this, Zhennan Hou's face changed and he stood up suddenly. "Oh no, the chaos of the past three days is all for this moment."

Everyone reacted, "Fishing in troubled waters! Diverting attention!"

The eyes of the Marquis of Zhennan were full of anger. "Come on, let's go meet this famous head coach of the Ning family."

Ning Zhiwei led his troops into the city and encountered basically no significant resistance.

The incident happened suddenly. One side was well prepared, while the other side was like a pile of loose sand. Naturally, it was a one-sided situation.

"Zhennan Hou is a fierce general, why is his defense so weak?"

Xiao Linfeng raised his lips slightly, "We have been running around these past few days, and things have been in chaos. Many guards have been transferred by officials who are afraid of death to guard their own gates."

This is his masterpiece.

Ning Zhiwei glanced at him and said, "Well done."

A smile flashed across Xiao Linfeng's eyes, "Thank you for the compliment, Commander."

The Ning family army advanced all the way and was still a mile away from the palace when suddenly, countless arrows flew over like raindrops.

Here they come, the Marquis of Zhennan arrives with his elite troops, and finally organizes a wave of resistance.

The Ning family army raised their shields to block the crazy attack of arrows. At the same time, the Ning family army's archers also began to fight back, and screams were heard frequently.

The Marquis of Zhennan had a livid face as he looked coldly at Ning Zhiwei in the crowd, dressed in military uniform and full of heroic spirit.

"Catch the leader first. Kill Ning Zhiwei and you will be rewarded 100,000 taels of silver."

When there is a huge reward, there will always be brave men. The soldiers raised their weapons and rushed towards Ning Zhiwei madly.

Ning Zhiwei held a long sword and calmly organized the battle. For a while, the two sides fought back and forth and a fierce street fight broke out.

Advancing inch by inch.

The personal guards surrounded Ning Zhiwei to protect him and charged forward together. No matter how many enemy troops there were, they could not get in.

Suddenly, an arrow shot from behind at Ning Zhiwei's defenseless back.

"Ning Zhiwei, be careful, there's an arrow in your back."

Ning Zhiwei turned back suddenly, but it was too late. The arrow was only an inch away from his back and was about to hit him...
