Five days ago, in Prince Kang's mansion far away in southern Xinjiang, a carrier pigeon landed on the window frame of Prince Kang's study. The 60-year-old Prince Kang was well-maintained and looked to be in his early 50s. Seeing the carrier pigeon, his attendant Liu An hurriedly caught the pigeon, took out the letter box tied to his leg, and handed it respectfully to Prince Kang.

Prince Kang took the letter calmly and gracefully, and his expression changed slightly when he took a look at it, "Go and call the prince."

Prince Kang's son Liu Xuanzhang arrived quickly. Prince Kang handed the letter to his son. When Liu Xuanzhang saw it, his face was full of excitement. He then knelt down and said, "Father, I will be there right away."

"Could it be a trap?" King Kang asked worriedly, but he also knew that even if it was a trap, he could not give up this opportunity.

"Don't be afraid. Even if it's a trap, my son will have a way to escape," Liu Xuanzhang said confidently.

"I didn't expect that he would take risks alone for a woman. It's really a godsend, hahaha." King Kang's hearty laughter floated in King Kang's palace, as if he had already succeeded.

"The journey to Shuiyue Temple is long. Can we make it there in five days?" After laughing, I felt relieved, and then we talked about the specific details.

"The dog emperor sneaked out of the camp with only one eunuch and a few guards. He will definitely not make a sound. We are working day and night and can arrive in three days. We have the remaining two days to prepare. This time we will definitely kill him."

The father and son called their aides to discuss the matter, and finally decided on the ambush location on the road leading from the royal hunting ground to Shuiyue Temple. The valley there is narrow, the terrain is dangerous and complex, and it is easy to hide people, which is conducive to ambush and retreat. Once the ambush is successful and the emperor's life is taken, a pigeon will be sent to send a message, and then a fast horse will report back. Prince Kang will immediately lead an army of 200,000 to the capital to defend the emperor, take advantage of the chaos to capture the capital, imprison Liu Jingyu, and kill the little prince. As for the two foolish eldest prince and the third prince, they can find a reason to deal with them after the incident.

If the ambush fails, the mountains here are stacked, and we can quickly hide in the jungle, which is also convenient for retreat. But the rebellion will have to wait for another opportunity. However, we have waited for so many years, so we don't mind waiting a little longer.

Everything is so seamless and perfect that it is amazing.

Soon, Liu Xuanzhang led an assassination team of 300 people on fast horses out of southern Xinjiang, and King Kang immediately went into the military camp to inspect the troops, ready to send out troops as soon as the news of the successful assassination of the crown prince came.

In the most remote courtyard of Prince Kang's mansion, Liu Hao, the sixth son of Prince Kang, was about to go to bed when little Si Hanxing hurried over and said, "Sir, the prince has taken his troops out."

"Let him go out if he wants to. Why are you so flustered?" Liu Hao glanced at Xiao Si indifferently.

"I heard that they are going to assassinate the emperor." Han Xing looked around, then leaned close to Liu Hao's ear and whispered.

Liu Hao stretched lazily on the bed, looked at Han Xing who looked excited, and said coldly, "Who told you that? How can you say such nonsense?"

"Oh, sir, I didn't say anything nonsense. This matter is spreading in the palace. The prince has gone to the military camp to recruit soldiers. He said that once the emperor is killed, he will immediately send troops to the capital."

Liu Qihao sneered. Haha, after so many years, his sons are almost all dead, but he still hasn't given up. He thinks that he can sit on the throne by killing the emperor. It's really a foolish dream. When he just ascended the throne, he couldn't do anything to others. What's more, he has been emperor for 26 years now, and the dragon throne is stuck to his butt, yet he is still dreaming of the throne.

He snorted disdainfully, "Go to bed," and watched Han Xing's face change from happiness to frustration, and added, "If you want to live longer, be blind, deaf, and dumb, understand?"

Han Xing left the young master's bedroom in a very bad mood. All the way, she kept thinking, wouldn't it be good for me to be a healthy and normal person? If I really become blind, deaf and dumb, I'm afraid that the young master won't want me anymore.

Liu Xuanzhang excitedly went to the death squad camp and selected 300 death squads. He rode his horses all the way and arrived at Xiaojing Mountain in three days. As expected, they arrived at the ambush site. The actual terrain was very different from that on the map. The map only showed the approximate location and no description of the terrain. They had to plan and arrange everything again when they arrived at the scene.

Liu Xuanzhang and his men repeatedly surveyed the road that leads from the royal pig farm to Shuiyue Temple. Taking into account that the emperor was traveling privately, he would not dare to make it public and would travel with few people and light luggage. He would go and return quickly, so he would definitely take the nearest and most convenient road. Finally, he selected a location and verified the emperor's whereabouts. After confirming that it was correct, he set up the net and waited quietly for the prey to jump in.

The five hundred men led by Ying Wu had seen everything that Liu Xuanzhang did. At first, they suspected whether Prince Hong had ulterior motives. After the messenger left, they became even more suspicious. However, they had to execute the order to mobilize troops, so they quietly ambushed at the designated location and waited.

At this moment, Pan Yaojun's 20,000 Pan family soldiers were ready and waiting for the news that the emperor was dead from the mountains.

The three groups of people all came for the emperor's life. It depends on who has the greater ability and who can seize the initiative.

Liu Xuanzhang stood on a rock, pointed with his left hand, and talked to his subordinates, "Look over here, it's Xiaojing Mountain. The mountain is high and the forest is dense, which is convenient for hiding." Several counselors looked in the direction and nodded, thinking that the prince had a good idea.

Liu Xuanzhang turned around again and pointed to the other side with his right hand, "This way, after crossing this mountain pass, you will reach Muduo Town. Muduo Town connects the official road between the north and the south. If you ride a horse quickly, you can reach the capital in less than half a day. From the capital to southern Xinjiang, it is only one or two days' journey." He was very proud of choosing this excellent location.

"Your Highness, the old emperor should pass by here at noon tomorrow. This place is only an hour's journey from Muduo Town. Let me go to Muduo Town to get some food. Your Highness and your brothers haven't had a good meal for a few days." Liu Xuanzhang's bodyguard Lin Nan stepped forward and knelt on one knee to salute.

"Okay, go quickly and come back soon. You need to eat well and rest well so that you can do things better." Liu Xuanzhang thought for a moment and expressed his agreement. It was time to eat something good. Although he had been planning a rebellion in recent years, he seldom left the Prince Kang's Mansion and had never suffered such hardship.

Lin Nan took a few people and left.

In the Lengshuiyu Inn, Liu Jingcheng poured himself a full bowl of wine without saying a word. He just sat there quietly drinking and eating meat, listening to her complaints and singing from beginning to end.

Hua Xiyu looked up and saw him, and said incoherently: "Hey, you didn't look like this just now, how come you've become so beautiful in the blink of an eye?" She blew a breath of alcohol directly into Liu Jingcheng's face. Liu Jingcheng tilted his head in disgust and hid to the side, but Hua Xiyu ignored his disgust and reached out to touch his face:

"Don't hide, let me see if you are wearing makeup." Of course she didn't touch me, and she didn't care, and went on: "But you look better with wine now than before." She chuckled again: "I've seen you, you look like a mixed-race person, like that out-of-date star, what's his name, his name... his name..., I can't remember, but you are younger than him, more handsome than him, and better looking than him."

Liu Jingcheng just looked at her, listened to her, and drank and ate meat.

She smiled self-deprecatingly and said a little embarrassedly: "This is called beauty is a feast to the eyes. I am a beauty-conqueror, hehe."

She forgot that she was a woman in a man's clothing. Subconsciously, she relied on her superiority as a modern person who could easily play with ancient things. She relaxed her vigilance. She dressed as a man just to avoid trouble. She was not really afraid of the people in Washington. Besides, she had never dressed as a man before. Once she drank, she forgot.

"What is a handsome man control?" Liu Jingcheng thought this was interesting. Handsome man control... This term is quite interesting.

Liu Jingcheng actually didn't hear anything at all. Firstly, he had never met a man who would call himself "sister", and of course he had never met a woman who would call herself "sister". Secondly, Hua Xiyu was drunk and her speech was unclear, so he didn't hear it clearly and automatically filtered it out.

She propped her head up with both hands, carefully examining Liu Jingcheng's face, and said, "Deep eye sockets, eyes that focus and hide spirit, but sadness is not easily revealed."

Then she tilted her head to one side and continued, "Your sword-like eyebrows are like two sharp blades, giving off a murderous aura. Your high nose bridge shows that you are actually quite sunny inside. Well, you are like an eagle waiting for an opportunity to strike." Her originally straight body collapsed again, and she sat very casually, maintaining a posture of watching from a distance.

"Your facial features are all pretty good when viewed separately. When you put them together," she paused meaningfully, with a scrutinizing and teasing expression, and suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, you're even more handsome."

"Come, let me see your hand again," she said, leaning forward and grabbing his hand, only to find that she had grabbed the wrong one. "No, men use the left hand and women use the right hand. You are a man, so your hand should be left." She shook off this hand and went to grab the other. Liu Jingcheng obediently handed her his left hand, then she pried open his palm and looked at it seriously.
