Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

In the dead of night, under the bright candlelight, Su Mingjin played chess with a mysterious old man. The two of them were fighting back and forth with full concentration.

"Pah." There was only the sound of chess pieces falling to the ground, and a faint smell of gunpowder filled the air.

There were footsteps outside, and a secret guard came in. "Master, the plan has failed."

Su Mingjin picked up the black piece and frowned slightly, "Have you cut off all the tails?"

"It was handled very cleanly, without any flaws."

Su Mingjin snorted, "No flaw is the biggest flaw, a bunch of idiots, get out."

The secret guard retreated silently.

The mysterious old man stared at the chessboard with his old eyes, "I didn't expect Ning Zhiwei to have such ability. He could escape unscathed from such a situation. He is really amazing."

Su Mingjin's expression was complicated. "She has always been amazing."

He was extremely powerful and a man who could assist the king. In addition, he was reborn. He had the advantage of time, place and people. He fought his way out of trouble and established the Yong Dynasty.

This is the most incredible thing. She did not choose a good master to assist him in ascending the throne, or use the emperor to control the princes, but chose to do it herself.

The mysterious old man dropped a piece, and was particularly contemptuous, "If one plan fails, try another. There will always be a chance. Even if she has three heads and six arms, she can't defeat the opponents from all sides.

Su Mingjin said nonchalantly, "The family suffered heavy losses this time, don't you think it's a pity?"

The mysterious old man's eyes were as deep as an ancient pond, which made people feel frightened. "You can't kill all the noble families. The new generation will replace the old one."

Su Mingjin looked at him deeply. This guy was more ruthless than anyone else. Those noble families were his allies, but he ruthlessly treated them as abandoned pawns.

"This is to use Ning Zhiwei to clean up the family for you, and replace it with a group of new people that you can control."

The mysterious old man smiled without saying a word, looking very pleased with himself.

"I helped you hold Ning Zhiwei back. Hurry up and don't make me wait too long."

Su Mingjin smiled proudly and said, "Don't worry, after I complete the unification, I will make you the national teacher. This day won't be too far away."

The two people, each with their own ulterior motives, smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.

Ning Zhiwei, who was thousands of miles away, held the teacup and frowned slightly, "Still haven't found anything?"

Zhou Hongye's face looked very unhappy. "Yes, he came and went without a trace. We didn't find any clues. The power of the person behind him was beyond our expectations."

"How did the Duke of Wei get out of the military camp? I have not been able to find the insider, and I am still worried."

This is a hidden danger. If it is not eliminated, you will not be able to sleep or eat well.

"Anything that has been done will leave traces." Ning Zhiwei sneered, "The people who cleaned up the mess so cleanly can only be two types of people. One is Su Mingjin's secret guard organization, which has been established for two hundred years and has more methods than others."

"Second, the person behind the Jiangnan family."

She has come to her senses, but, having killed them all, it was not a mistake. As long as the aristocratic families are not eliminated, they will go against the imperial power in every way.

She would not keep such a cancer.

Zhou Hongye's face changed when he heard the voice, "Who's behind this?"

Ning Zhiwei played with the teacup, thinking, "Don't you think the plan to eliminate the family is too easy?"

Zhou Hongye's heart tightened. It was indeed easier than he thought. Could there be a problem? "Who could it be?"

Ning Zhiwei already felt that there was a pair of dark hands targeting her, but what could she do? If one came, she would kill one; if two came, she would kill a pair.

"Don't worry, he will show up when the time comes."

"Give the order to move camp tomorrow and set out at noon."

"Yes."

When Ning Zhiwei woke up, it was already 3:45 am and the sky was just beginning to daylight.

She got up, washed, took a bun and ate it while standing outside. The maid had already started to pack up the luggage and tidy up the tent.

Ning Xinzhe stood beside her, already dressed in riding clothes for the trip, and ate a bun. "Aunt, I'm ready. I did a set of boxing this morning."

Ning Zhiwei was wearing a neat outfit, her brows were relaxed, and the morning light shone on her face, creating a layer of golden edges.

"eat more."

Zhou Hongye looked at the aunt and nephew with a slight twitch in the corner of his mouth. They looked exactly the same while standing and eating buns. After all, he was the most honorable emperor in the world. This was too ungentlemanly of him.

However, for Ning Zhiwei, let alone eating buns while standing, he would eat and drink on his warhorse during long marches.

Suddenly, a subordinate rushed over and said, "Your Majesty, there are many civilians outside the military camp. Please don't leave. They are worried that the noble families will come back and take revenge wildly."

Just as they were about to break camp, a large group of people knelt down outside, blocking the road.

Ning Zhiwei narrowed her eyes slightly, "They are so well-informed. Are they keeping an eye on our military camp?"

Ning Xinzhe was at his most sensitive moment. "Aunt, are you saying that this is a planned and organized arrangement, and those people are bad people?"

Why can't all the bad guys be killed? It's so annoying. He wants to grow up quickly and help his aunt kill the bad guys.

Ning Zhiwei said calmly, "Whether he is a bad guy or not, it's hard to say, but he is definitely coming for me."

She looked at Zhou Hongye, "Mr. Zhou, have you noticed that someone is trying to trip us up?"

Zhou Hongye frowned slightly, his heart skipped a beat, "Indeed."

Why didn't he come earlier or later, but came at this time? The timing was so perfect, if this isn't calculation, what could this be?

"It looks like it was Su Mingjin's work, or that person has formed an alliance with Su Mingjin."

Ning Zhiwei sighed softly, "Some people just don't want to live a good life."

She is not a murderer, but there are always people who force her to kill.

"What should we do now?" Zhou Hongye was a little worried. There was no problem in killing the rebels, but she couldn't be too cruel to the people, otherwise it would be extremely detrimental to her reputation.

Ning Zhiwei pondered for a moment, "Take advantage of the situation and lure the snake out."

She came over and said a few words, and Zhou Hongye's eyes became brighter and brighter, "Yes."

Outside the military camp, there was a crowd of people, a sea of ​​heads. The soldiers were guarding the gate and did not dare to let them get close.

The people were very excited and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, please don't leave here. We, the people, need your protection."

"Your Majesty, as soon as you leave, those noble families will definitely come back to attack. This is their base camp, and they will never give up no matter what."

"They are coming back to kill us. All of us who have been allocated land will die, and our entire families will die."

"Your Majesty, please save us poor people. We don't want to die."

Everyone was very excited and obviously frightened. No one knew where they got the news.

In the crowd, several men had flickering eyes, and no one knew what they were thinking.

A voice suddenly sounded, "The Emperor has arrived."

Several people touched the hard hidden weapons in their arms, their hearts beating fast, holding their breath and waiting.
