I am Yuan Niaoniao

"Are you going to wait until I reach the top before leaving?" Yan Muyu asked, holding the reins.

"Wait." Chen Shaoyi nodded, "We still need your help. You must be the new king of Zhao State. Only then will we have stronger support."

Yan Muyu looked at Chen Shaoyi in confusion: "I have a million troops at your disposal at any time, isn't that enough?"

"We are going to take over Wu State, and then Dadu!" Yuan Niaoniao rode her horse slowly forward and followed the two of them and said.

"Wu State?" Yan Muyu didn't quite understand: "Did anything happen during the time I was away?" He only vaguely remembered the Princess of Wu State, Wu Jingxin.

"Do you still remember Wu Jingxin?" Yuan Niaoniao said lightly.

"Of course." The arrogant Wu Jingxin was annoying to look at. If he married such a person, Yan Muyu shuddered at the thought.

"She is now pregnant with Han Haotian's child and is imprisoned by us." Chen Shaoyi said coldly: "For the sake of the child, she will be spared, but the Wu Kingdom must be destroyed."

"Okay, I will do my best to help you." Yan Muyu nodded without asking any more questions. The strength of Wu State was not weak. It would not be as easy to conquer it as to conquer Yizhen State. The national strength of Wu State was as strong as two Zhao States.

"Then you should ascend the throne quickly. We have been out for a while," Yuan Niaoniao joked, "We must have a glass of wedding wine before we go back."

"Okay, okay." Yan Muyu spurred his horse into a gallop, and Chen Shaoyi and Yuan Niaoniao followed closely behind.

..................

The next day, Yan Muyu called Tuo Yimuzhen as soon as he got up and said, "Give orders to get ready and start the uprising at any time."

"Okay, Your Highness." Takumi quickly told everyone to be on high alert.

Standing by the window, lost in thought, it's time to take action, otherwise that person will do something to me sooner or later. The attacks from him have never stopped recently. Ha, these people are really interesting!

"Your Highness." Takumi knocked on the door.

"What's the matter?" Yan Muyu turned around with some confusion.

"The emperor asks you to come to Yonghua Palace." Tuo Yimujin reported softly.

"Okay." Haha, maybe it's not because of the million-strong army of Yizhen Kingdom that they are looking for me. Yan Muyu took Tuo Yimuzhen to Yonghua Palace slowly, which was where the Imperial Noble Consort lived. The Imperial Noble Consort was also Yan Mujun's biological mother. How dare you trample on your dignity so blatantly?

As the eunuch's shrill voice sounded, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived——", Yan Muyu strode into the Yonghua Palace. His eyes were like torches, staring straight at Yan Lei and Imperial Concubine Hua Youxin who were sitting in front of him, which was very different from his usual respectful and humble appearance.

Yan Muyu did not kneel down to salute as usual, but just stood, looked at the two with cold eyes, and asked: "I wonder why the emperor and the queen summoned me?"

"How dare you!" Yan Lei's face darkened instantly when he saw this, and he shouted angrily, "Don't you even know the most basic etiquette? This is what I taught you every day?" He had never seen Yan Muyu so rude, and a trace of dissatisfaction rose in his heart.

However, facing Yan Lei's questioning, Yan Muyu was not afraid at all. He even raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and responded mercilessly: "If my father summoned me here today just to teach me etiquette, then there is no need to be so troublesome. You can just send a etiquette nanny to the East Palace. Anyway, I have nothing important to report, so I will not bother Your Majesty and Your Majesty." Before he finished speaking, he resolutely turned around and prepared to leave.

"Your Majesty..." Seeing that Yan Muyu was about to leave in anger, Hua Youxin hurriedly reached out and tugged at Yan Lei's sleeve. Her beautiful eyes were full of anxiety, and she kept winking at Yan Lei, as if hinting at something.

"Stop," Yan Lei had to quickly call out to Yan Muyu. "Father wants to tell you something."

Hearing this, Yan Muyu turned around and looked at Yan Lei: "I have heard it, father, please speak."

Yan Lei frowned, and said after a while: "Didn't you recapture the Kingdom of Yizhen a while ago? Your brother has never had the chance to practice. Now you have given me the military command, but I heard that you still have those foreigners stationed there. You should call them back and let your brother practice how to govern a country." After saying that, he looked at Yan Muyu nervously.

"Okay!" Yan Muyu's mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and he happily responded. He didn't even wait for his father Yan Lei to speak, and turned around on his own, leaving with firm and resolute steps, leaving only a cold word floating in the air: "Then let's wait and see, if he really has that ability..."

"You..." Yan Lei's eyes widened, looking at this rude and unruly son in front of him, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while. He never thought that his own flesh and blood would be so disrespectful to him!

Seeing this, Hua Xiaoxin was furious. Her eyebrows were raised, her eyes were wide open, and she questioned Yan Lei angrily: "Your Majesty, look at your good son! He is so disrespectful and arrogant, how can he be worthy of being the crown prince? How can he be a brother?" After she finished speaking, her chest rose and fell violently, and it was obvious that she was furious.

Seeing that his beloved concubine was really angry, Yan Lei hurriedly comforted her, "Don't be angry, calm down. Didn't Mu Yu already agree? Just let Jun'er go to Yizhen Kingdom with confidence to take back the military power." As he spoke, he gently patted the back of Hua Xiaoxin's hand, trying to calm her anger.

"Hmph!" Hua Xiaoxin cursed Yan Muyu in her heart. When Jun'er gets the military power, the first person he will deal with will be you! See how long you can keep being so arrogant! The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. How dare a loser like him occupy the position of the crown prince for so long? "This damn bastard!"

"Look at you, here you go again. If he hears it, he'll make a fuss!" Although Yan Lei was accustomed to Hua Xiaoxin's insults to Yan Muyu, he could have turned a blind eye to it in the past. But now with Yan Muyu's abilities, he didn't dare to provoke him easily, no matter how much he disliked him.

"Do you dare to say it again?" Hua Xiaoxin's words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Yan Muyu's ears. In the past, no matter what she said or did, Yan Muyu would choose to turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear, but now the situation is completely different, and he can no longer tolerate such humiliation and provocation.

Turning back to the Yonghua Palace, Yan Muyu took a deep breath, then slowly stretched out his right hand and began to gather the powerful strength in his body. His palm gradually emitted a faint light, and this mysterious energy became stronger and stronger, eventually forming an invisible giant hand.

This invisible hand stretched out towards Hua Xiaoxin like a ghost, tightly strangling her delicate neck. Yan Muyu waved his arm lightly, and Hua Xiaoxin was hung up in the air. Her face was full of fear, and she covered her throat tightly with both hands, but she couldn't say a word, and could only struggle desperately to break free.

Seeing his most beloved imperial concubine being tortured like this, Yan Lei's anger instantly rose. He widened his eyes and yelled at Yan Muyu: "Yan Muyu, how dare you be so bold! Let go of the imperial concubine immediately!"

Yan Muyu turned a deaf ear to Yan Lei's angry rebuke. His eyes were cold and firm, and he seemed to have no intention of letting go. At this moment, there was only anger and resentment towards Hua Xiaoxin in his eyes.

Yan Lei was furious when he saw this, and he quickly condensed the true energy in his body into his palm, and a strong palm wind hit Yan Muyu directly.

Yan Muyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, pulled Hua Xiaoxin over and used her body to withstand the palm strike. How could the delicate Hua Xiaoxin withstand the angry palm strike? She immediately vomited blood, closed her eyes and fainted.

"My beloved!" Yan Lei shouted in horror.

"Your Majesty, you are so cruel. If I had been hit by this palm, I would have died on the spot!" Yan Muyu shook his head and looked at the dying Hua Xiaoxin with regret.

Yan Lei could no longer care about Yan Muyu and shouted, "Call the doctor quickly!" Then he looked at Hua Xiaoxin in his arms and said, "Wake up, don't get hurt, Xiaoxin."

"Mother!" Yan Mujun, who rushed over after hearing the news, saw Hua Xiaoxin lying in Yan Lei's arms, bleeding and dying. He burst into tears, "Mother! What happened, mother, wake up!" He shook Hua Xiaoxin's arm desperately, but there was no response.

"Your father killed your mother." Yan Muyu said, looking forward to the fun.

"Shut up, you rebellious son!" Yan Lei roared. But it was indeed his fault that he hurt Hua Xiaoxin!

Hearing this, Yan Mujun turned around and looked at Yan Muyu fiercely, "It's you! It must be you, right! You deliberately angered my father and made him hurt my mother!"

Yan Muyu sneered, "I am just telling the truth. If you and your mother hadn't coveted my military power, how could this happen today?"

Yan Mujun was so angry that he was shaking all over, "You! I'm going to fight you!" He stood up and attacked Yan Muyu, but his mediocre kung fu was no match for Yan Muyu.

"Come if you are not afraid of death." Yan Muyu looked indifferent. He stood in place and released his true energy to form a wall to stop Yan Mujun. "But before that, you should worry about your mother's injury first."

"I'm going to kill you, you piece of trash!" Yan Mujun kept cursing, believing that it was Yan Muyu who was behind this.

"I advise you to look at the situation clearly and see who is the waste." Yan Muyu pointed out the gap between the two of them, looked at Yan Mujun sarcastically, then turned and left, leaving Yan Mujun standing there full of resentment.

"I will kill you." Yan Mujun, who was so angry, picked up the sword of the guard beside him and stabbed Yan Muyu in the back.

Yan Muyu shook his head helplessly and stretched out one hand, and Yan Mujun was strangled by the neck and hung in the air like Hua Xiaoxin just now, unable to make a sound. Then the harder he tried, the more uncomfortable Yan Mujun struggled. "Do you know who is the waste now?"

Yan Mujun struggled in fear. How come Yan Muyu was not an embroidered pillow? How could he be so powerful?

"Jun'er!" Yan Lei cried out in pain upon seeing this, but he did not dare to act rashly. Looking at Hua Xiaoxin who was unconscious in his arms, his heart was filled with regret and self-blame. He also realized that the situation was becoming increasingly out of control.

"Father, I'll take this opportunity to negotiate a deal with you." Yan Muyu squatted in front of Yan Lei and said indifferently, "Write an edict to abdicate and pass the throne to me, and announce it to the world within two days."

"You!" Yan Lei's breath was blocked in his chest. He was so bold. How could a son ask his father to abdicate? He was still in his prime! Yan Muyu's eyes were firm, and he had no intention of retreating. He knew very well that compromise at this time would only make the situation more passive.

Yan Lei was so angry that his beard trembled, but he could do nothing. The Yan Muyu in front of him was no longer the prince who was manipulated by others. His strength and determination shocked Yan Lei.

At the stalemate, Yan Muyu decided to give Yan Lei some time to think about it. He let go of his hand, and Yan Mujun fell heavily to the ground.

"I will come again tomorrow. I hope that by then, father will have made a decision." Yan Muyu left this sentence and turned away, leaving Yan Lei and Yan Mujun standing there with complicated expressions.

"Father!" After catching his breath, Yan Mujun crawled to Yan Lei. In addition to anger and sadness, there was more fear in his heart.

Yan Lei looked at Hua Xiaoxin in his arms and his spoiled son in front of him. It was true that Yan Muyu was the most qualified and capable person to sit in that position. However, he was not dead yet, so it was not his turn to make decisions for him without authorization, and he still wanted to covet his throne! His eyes gradually turned cold, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

After Yan Muyu left, Yan Lei had a gloomy face and ordered the imperial physician to do his best to treat Hua Xiaoxin. At the same time, he also called the royal secret guards and made a shocking decision to slaughter the East Palace tonight, including the prince! As the saying goes, even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, but Yan Lei's eyes really did not have a trace of Yan Muyu being his own son.

That night, hundreds of secret guards broke into the East Palace.

Yan Muyu smiled coldly and took the lead in fighting back with his sword. The late night raid really gave the secret guards the upper hand, and after killing several sturgeon dragons, their morale was greatly boosted.

When Takumimujin saw his people being killed, he roared, and all the Sturgeon Dragon people emitted blue light and flew into the air. All the secret guards were horrified when they saw this, but they immediately took a defensive stance, as they had never seen such a scene before.

Yan Muyu was enveloped in a layer of dazzling blue light, and flew in front of the others like a meteor. He lowered his head and stared at the dark guards lying on the ground, and said in a low and firm voice: "Revenge for your lost people! Today, I will grant you powerful divine power to help you break free!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely strong blue light suddenly burst out from Yan Muyu's palms, spreading rapidly like a huge shock wave, enveloping all the Sturgeon Dragon people.

It turns out that the Sturgeon Dragon Clan originally lived in the deep sea. Once they came onto land, they would be subject to various restrictions and it would be difficult for them to exert their true strength. However, with the blessing of the Sea God's power, these constraints could be easily resolved. And Yan Muyu obtained the Sea God's power, and because of this, the Sturgeon Dragon Clan would willingly submit to him.

After receiving the divine power, the dozen or so Sturgeon Dragons instantly became majestic and powerful. Without any hesitation, they immediately launched a bloody and cruel killing. Every move was fierce and decisive, as if they wanted to completely release the anger and hatred that had been pent up in their hearts for a long time.

Those dark guards who were originally arrogant and domineering now seemed vulnerable in front of the Sturgeon Dragons. The attack of the Sturgeon Dragons was as fierce as a storm. They easily beat the dark guards to pieces, and they flew around like broken pieces of paper. This fierce battle was extremely tragic, and blood and rain filled the air.

"Send these body parts to the Golden Dragon Palace." Yan Muyu looked coldly in the direction of the Golden Dragon Palace. That was the hall where the Zhao Kingdom held its morning court, and it was also the hall where Yan Lei's dragon throne was placed.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Takumi and others immediately took action.

........................................

The next day, Yan Muyu came to Yonghua Palace as promised. Yan Lei looked at his son in front of him with mixed feelings. In the end, he made a decision, drafted an edict, and stamped it with the imperial seal.

Soon after, the imperial edict was announced, shocking the court and the public. Yan Muyu officially became the new king of Zhao, while Yan Lei retreated behind the scenes, taking Yan Mujun and Hua Xiaoxin to live in a temporary palace in the north. Although he was said to be in retirement, he was actually imprisoned by Yan Muyu.

After Yan Muyu took office, he demonstrated outstanding ability in governing the country, making the State of Zhao increasingly prosperous.

Under Yan Muyu's rule, Zhao State ushered in a new era.

..................

"See you later!" Yan Muyu sent Chen Shaoyi and his party to the city gate at the border, looking at them with some reluctance.

"See you later!" Chen Shaoyi and Yuan Niao Niao smiled and waved, then turned around and rode away.
