With the suicide of the former crown prince Mu Qianxiao, the old emperor fell seriously ill, and Hui State began to have several princes jointly handle state affairs.

The old emperor's original intention might be to see which of these princes was capable, but his actions were seen by many princes as raising a poison.

Let these princes compete with each other and suppress each other, and the one who wins in the end will become the next emperor.

Although competition is risky, as long as you succeed, you will own a vast territory, and no one can resist this temptation.

For a while, the entire Hui Kingdom royal family was in chaos, and court officials also took sides.

Everyone in the court was only thinking about party struggles, and no one paid attention to the affairs of the common people. The common people even became pawns and victims of their fights.

In this case, how could public resentment not boil over?

And in a corner that no one noticed, Zhenyuan Hou Luoxing raised an army and, in the name of clearing the court of corrupt officials, led his troops towards Shangjing City.

By the time all the officials in the court found out, Luo Xing had already captured two cities.

However, everyone had different opinions on who should be sent as the main general to encircle and suppress Luo Xing.

All this information was accurately transmitted back to Loulan by the carrier pigeons that Yun Yi had left in Shangjing City.

When he was in Shangjing City before, Yun Yi, in addition to doing business, also established a contact point and trained a group of pigeons, which now came in handy.

"I'm a little confused. Isn't the most urgent task for the Hui Kingdom court to quickly send troops to suppress Luo Xing? Why is there still internal strife? No matter who is sent first, someone should be sent."

Xiao Ai released the pigeon and returned to the room and asked in confusion.

"Because in their eyes, Luo Xing only has more than 10,000 troops and is not worth mentioning at all. Naturally, they all want to grab the credit for suppressing the rebellion." said the saint.

She has read a lot of military books and strategies these days, and she is very familiar with the little tricks of the Hui Kingdom court.

Xiao Ai nodded in understanding. The gap between Loulan and the Central Plains was too huge. In her impression, more than 10,000 troops were already a lot.

"But then again, Luo Xing only has over 10,000 soldiers. How could he dare to rebel?"

The Saint thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because he's so skilled and so bold."

"Yun Yi said that Luo Xing's Zhenyuan Marquis earned his title through military merit, which shows that he has some abilities."

After receiving the letter from Shangjing City, the Saint asked Xiao Ai to write a reply letter, asking the people in Shangjing City to closely monitor all developments and report any important matters in a timely manner.

After returning to Loulan, Yun Yi began to work on the military treasury affairs and formalized the business in Loulan.

After all, the economic base determines the superstructure. Whether it is expanding territory or garrisoning borders, it requires a lot of financial resources.

Luo Fuying has been staying in Loulan all this time. She knows that her father is doing something big. If she returns to the Central Plains, she will most likely be used by those people to threaten her father.

If she stayed in Loulan, those people would not be able to come all the way to kidnap her, and her father could rest assured.

Luo Fuying followed Yun Yi, watching him busying around and dealing with dozens of things every day, and couldn't help but admire his abundant vitality even more.

Not only business matters, he can also get all kinds of intelligence information in the Central Plains at the fastest speed.

From big things like the speed of his father's siege of the city to small things like the old emperor's illness and the prescriptions he used after he fell ill.

Even the eldest princess Mu Qing was recently returned to the capital, but she fell seriously ill and all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital were of no avail.

There are rumors that she did too many evil things and angered the gods, and now she is suffering retribution.

"Brother Yi, do you believe in retribution?"

Yun Yi looked up at Luo Fuying and said with a smile, "I believe that everything depends on human effort."

There may be gods who will punish people in this world, but Yun Yi would rather take revenge himself.

As early as when he sent Mu Qianxiao to the eldest princess, he placed a small flying insect in Mu Qianxiao's body.

After Mu Qianxiao was killed by the eldest princess, the little fly no longer had a living host, so it went looking for a new host nearby.

The symptoms the princess is experiencing now are exactly what it would be like if she were parasitized by a small fly.

The little fly would stay inside the eldest princess' body, gnawing at her flesh and blood, draining her spirit. Before her body died, in addition to the pain in her bones and flesh, she would also be plagued by nightmares every day.

Yun Yi just wanted her to experience the feeling of being on the verge of death.

“Ah…Ah…”

At this time, a wolf howl was heard.

The next moment, the feeling of the earth shaking and the mountains trembling came one after another. It was the snow wolf that had grown very strong running from a distance and jumped straight into Yun Yi's arms.

"Hmm? Have you gained weight again?"

Yun Yi weighed the snow wolf in his arms and could clearly feel that it was much heavier than the previous two days.

"I just took it hunting, and it ate a lamb. How could it not be heavy?"

The voice came before the saint woman arrived.

He walked into the house and went straight to the table to pour himself a cup of tea. Then he saw Luo Fuying was in the house.

"Saint." Luo Fuying bowed to her.

"You're welcome. You Central Plains people just have a lot of rules." The Saint waved her hand. "Have you communicated with your father these past few days? How's his progress?"

The saint asked so directly that Luo Fuying didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"I just like you. I don't want your father to lose and your family to be destroyed. If you need me, I will send Yun Yi to help your father."

The saint said this in a casual manner, but Luo Fuying did not dare to take her words literally.

"I haven't heard from my father in a long time. If the situation is critical, I will ask the Saint and Brother Yi for help." Luo Fuying declined, "The Saint must have something important to do here. I won't disturb you and will leave first."

The saint did not stop her. After watching her leave, she set her eyes on Yun Yi who was playing with the snow wolf.

"Your sister... is quite sensitive."

"You also said that there are many rules in the Central Plains. If there are many rules, you have to think more. Otherwise, you may lose your life if you are not careful." Yun Yi said with a smile.

The saint nodded. It seemed that being insensitive was indeed not an option.

"The news just came in that the old emperor passed away and the eighth prince ascended the throne." The saint walked up to Yun Yi and handed him the latest note from Shangjing City.

Yun Yi raised his brows slightly. This time was faster than he expected.

"If Mu Qianxiao had been deposed and the Eighth Prince had been made the Crown Prince, Hui State wouldn't have become what it is now. If anyone is to blame, blame the old emperor for being greedy and insisting on finding the most capable person."

The saint sneered. She was only half-baked in the military tactics and strategies of the Central Plains, but it was obvious that the old emperor was not as good as her.

He didn't even know that he had to be quick, accurate and ruthless when making his move. He deserved that his Hui Kingdom couldn't last long.
