I rely on gossip to save the country

Half a month later, the Kingdom of Dongguan went to the capital. Xie Yunqi sat in the Forget-Your-Sorrow Pavilion, looking at several men in black in front of him.

The men in black were also very respectful to Xie Yunqi. Their master had already given the order that as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needed help, they would have Wuming Pavilion do their best to help.

"What's wrong?" Xie Yunqi's voice was calm, without any sign of panic.

Several men in black began to report the news they had received.

"Your Highness, on the day the Crown Prince of Dongguan returned to the country, he was taken to a palace by the chief eunuch of the Emperor of Dongguan. He has never come out since then. Your subordinates have investigated the palace and found that it is heavily guarded. We also found a secret room inside, but we could not get in."

Xie Yunqi nodded, and another man in black also reported: "Your Highness the Crown Prince's men have assembled and can start at any time."

Xie Yunqi nodded and ordered: "Let's do it tonight, and let the brothers be prepared."

"Yes!"

Inside the Dongguan Palace, the Emperor of Dongguan sat in the imperial study, rubbing his forehead constantly, and in front of him was a report on the battle situation of the Nanyue Kingdom's attack on their Dongguan Kingdom.

"Oh, you are overestimating yourself!" The Emperor of Dongguan Kingdom did not take this matter to heart at all. Their Dongguan Kingdom was the leader of the four countries, how could it be taken down by a mere Nanyue Kingdom?

At night, the emperor and the old Taoist priest came to the secret room again and attacked Nalan Hongyu again.

They were afraid that Nalan Hongyu would resist, so they gave him some muscle softening powder. Now Nalan Hongyu had no strength at all and let them do whatever they wanted.

Because the secret room was too hidden, no news from the outside world was received. Xie Yunqi had already led his troops into the palace and searched the entire palace but could not find the Emperor of Dongguan and others.

When he was furious and wanted to kill someone, a young eunuch quietly walked over and said, "Your Highness, please follow me."

Xie Yunqi looked coldly at the person in front of him, with no intention of moving at all.

The young eunuch had no choice but to take out the token of Wuming Pavilion.

As Nalan Hongyu lost blood from his body, he felt like he was about to die.

But he showed a strange smile, which made the Emperor of Dongguan feel uncomfortable.

I have already written a letter to my good friend. Even if I die, I want to drag the entire Dongguan country to be buried with me.

If things were going as he expected, Xiao Aqi should have already taken action. It was just a pity that he couldn't wait for Xiao Aqi to come back.

He could already feel his life slipping away bit by bit.

He was already very satisfied to have known Aqi in his life, even though Aqi rejected him.

As he thought of this, he slowly closed his eyes and lost consciousness.

At this moment, the door of the secret room was violently slammed open, and Xie Yunqi rushed in with dozens of people. When they saw Nalan Hongyu, who was like a rag doll and had no breath left, they saw him.

The man could no longer conceal his murderous intent. He picked up the sword and chopped off the head of the Emperor of Dongguan. The people behind him also killed the old Taoist priest.

Xie Yunqi looked at Nalan Hongyu's still bleeding arm, and quickly tore off a strip of cloth from his clothes and bandaged it.

Then he carefully and gently checked Nalan Hongyu's breath. After feeling the weak breathing, he quickly put him down from the shelf, picked him up, and strode out.

"Guyu, ask the best doctor from your Wuming Pavilion to come here."

"Yes!" A young man in black behind them took the order and disappeared in front of them in an instant.

After Xie Yunqi brought the people to Wuming Pavilion, he sent people to rescue them, and he sent people to send messages to the border and all parts of Dongguan State, announcing that the Emperor of Dongguan was dead. From then on, Dongguan State belonged to Nanyue State.

Meanwhile, Xie Yunli's troops at the border had already captured several cities. When the soldiers at the border received the news that the emperor was dead, their morale dropped sharply and they were defeated one after another.

Xie Yunqi cleaned up the entire court. Those who surrendered were kept, while those who were eager to resist were all killed.

The prerequisite for coming to rescue his friend was to take over Dongguan Kingdom, and he also promised his father.

At this moment, Xie Yunqi's mind was in a mess.

He personally destroyed his friend's country. If his friend woke up, he wouldn't know how to explain it or how to face him.

He hoped that his friend would wake up as soon as possible, but on the other hand, he didn't want him to wake up.

The Emperor of Nanyue was also very excited when he learned that his son had conquered Dongguan. His prince really did not disappoint him and was not emotional at all. Thinking of this, he quickly sent people to make the final arrangements.

After Xie Yunqi handed over the matter to the people sent by his father, he took the still unconscious Nalan Hongyu to Nanyue Kingdom.

When the two were halfway along the road, Nalan Hongyu woke up. The two looked at each other, and no one spoke. Finally, Xie Yunqi couldn't help but ask, "How do you feel? Are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Originally, Nalan Hongyu wanted to shake his head, but he found himself so dizzy that he fell directly towards Xie Yunqi.

Xie Yunqi quickly supported him: "Guyu, where is the doctor?"

Nalan Hongyu looked at Xie Yunqi, who was worried, and said, "I'm fine. I just lost too much blood and feel a little dizzy. Thank you, Aqi, for saving me."

Guyu thought Nalan Hongyu's condition was serious and threw the doctor into the carriage.

The doctor cursed in his heart, but looked calm and quickly took Nalan Hongyu's pulse.

I breathed a sigh of relief after finally confirming that nothing was wrong.

The doctor was so angry that if his master had not ordered him to listen to Guyu, he would have poisoned this guy. He knew the consequences of offending a doctor.

After the doctor confirmed the condition, he left the carriage, and there were only two of them left.

Xie Yunqi spoke slowly: "From now on, Dongguan Kingdom is a fief of my Nanyue Kingdom, the Dongguan Kingdom in the world. I killed your father and your relatives. You can hate me, but I will not let you leave."

Nalan Hongyu just curled his lips slightly and didn't make any response.

In fact, his letter to the Emperor of Nanyue said that Dongguan was in chaos and that he could conquer it by sending the crown prince. If he did not want Dongguan to be annexed by other countries, he should act immediately.

Moreover, he knew that if something happened to him, regardless of whether he could survive or not, no matter whether the elixir could be refined or not, the country would be destroyed for sure.

Rather than being annexed by Xiya Kingdom or other small countries, and then dealing with Nanyue Kingdom and Beili Kingdom, it is better to give it directly to Nanyue Kingdom.

What he understood was also understood by the Emperor of Nanyue Kingdom: if other countries obtained Dongguan Kingdom, they would be in danger.

Therefore, the Emperor of Nanyue Kingdom thought about it again and again and decided to take the risk.

After the two returned to Nanyue Kingdom, Xie Yunqi was either attending court or guarding Nalan Hongyu in the Prince's Mansion. Even when he was doing official business, he was by his side.

The two of them remained silent. Xie Yunqi mistakenly thought that Nalan Hongyu hated him. He couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart and asked, "Nalan Hongyu, do you hate me?"

Nalan Hongyu smiled at the boy opposite him and said, "No, why should I hate you? Even if you don't take over Dongguan, it won't be able to survive. And I am willing to offer Dongguan to you. It is worth it to use a Dongguan that is about to be corrupted in exchange for a lifetime with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Xie Yunqi heard it and saw the sincerity on his friend's face, and they smiled at each other.

it is more than words.
