The prime minister killed several people but failed to stop the escape, so he had to return to Kyoto with a few trusted men.

He first woke up a few of his sons who were still dreaming of becoming an emperor, then packed up his valuables and gold and silver, took his family and disguised himself as a merchant caravan and hurried out of the city. When he saw that the city gate was already in chaos,

We are all from a family with a history of a hundred years, so who doesn't have an informant? The disciples of the great master performed a miracle in Qi'an, not far from Kyoto, and collected the floodwaters. Who wouldn't know about this event that everyone saw?

Within two days, everyone knew about the return of the Grand Master, and all those who had been involved in the rebellion fled out of the city.

Yue Xiang, along with his family members including the prince, princess, queen and royal relatives who had been in power for more than nine months, and more than a dozen cars mixed in with the crowd leaving the city and fled southward.

Not until they had escaped more than a hundred miles did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and complaints began to rise one after another.

The youngest son complained, "Father, why are you running for your life instead of being the emperor? Our city is impregnable. As long as the jade talisman is in hand, who can do anything to us?"

"Idiot!" The prime minister, dressed in merchant clothes, whipped his youngest son, who was still wearing the prince's clothes, and cursed: "Lou Junze has his troops at the gates of the city. We have the jade talisman in our hands, but he still broke through dozens of cities. Do you think the pass in Kyoto can stop him?"

In order to make Gu Qi useless, even his young son who grew up with him was made useless. This is really retribution.

Seeing the Prime Minister's regretful face, the clan members mocked him and said, "If it weren't for your great ambition, we would still be serving as governors in Hezhou. Why would we end up being the dogs of the funeral family?"

The Prime Minister sneered, "What a joke! Don't you want to reach the top in one step?"

Clan member: "It's you, my cousin, who got promoted overnight, right? You said that royal family members cannot be officials, and you transferred us to Kyoto."

The Prime Minister shouted angrily: "When you were conferred the title of Prince, you were the one who laughed the loudest."

Clan member: "When you wanted to send your daughter to the palace, wasn't I the one who objected the most? Which aristocratic family with a hundred years of history would send their daughter to the palace, and which one would rashly step into the fight for the crown prince? Twenty years ago, you had to lead the whole clan on this life-or-death path. As the eldest brother, shouldn't you lead the whole clan to seek stability?"

"Stable? Hahahaha..." The prime minister laughed and said sarcastically, "Did you say this when you were kneeling on the ground begging me to find you an official position? If I hadn't worked hard step by step and year after year over the years, giving up my face, my daughter, and my children's marriages, and climbing up again and again, do you think you would be able to be a small prefect? You might still be daydreaming in your hometown..."

"That's better than being on the run now!"

Some roads are difficult to walk on, but once you fall down, you will be crushed to pieces. Some people praise you for your success when they ask you for help, but once you fail, they want to step on your face.

The prime minister felt sad.

But the youngest son jumped out at this time and shouted: "Father, don't worry, I will regroup and gather the army to kill Lou Junze..."

Prime Minister: "..."

"Oh no, there is a large army ahead, turn around quickly!"

Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hooves and swords, spears and arrows coming from the front. A group of people hurriedly reined in their horses and turned around.

But it is easy for a horse to turn around, but it is not easy for a carriage, especially when a row of more than ten carriages are moving forward together.

A man without cruelty is not a hero. He can give up anything when it is time to give up. The prime minister pushed the guards away, grabbed a horse without a carriage, and galloped into the depths of the woods.

His sons and young and strong men in the clan followed soon after.

The forest was deep and dense, and the few people had difficulty moving forward. No one argued anymore, and everyone just kept their heads down and walked on without saying a word.

Just when they had escaped a few miles and thought they were safe, several arrows suddenly attacked from the woods, and the elite troops from the thirteen states in the Southern Region surrounded them.

A handsome young general rode out on his horse, stopped in front of the group, and turned his horse slightly. Behind him followed a beautiful, gloomy, and slightly haggard young man, who said sternly:

"Uncle, grandfather, and clan elders, how are you? This prince still remembers the way you looked when you abolished me. I hope that you will also remember the way I killed you for the rest of your lives."

Lou Junji ordered: "Get started!"

Mu Yanzhi waved his hand, and the elite soldiers behind him drew their swords and rushed forward, aiming to kill the Yue family members with every blow.

Lou Junji also got off his horse, drew his sword, and slashed at the Yue family. Ancestors, today your unworthy descendants have avenged the Lou family. He may not be able to save the country, but today he has killed his enemies with his own hands, so at least he can die with dignity.

The entire Lou family and the royal family are watching. He, Lou Junji, is not a coward who would destroy his country.

With each blow, Lou Junji's face and body were gradually stained with blood, and the young and strong men of the Yue family were killed one after another.

Lou Junji held the knife, walked towards the Yue prime minister, and slashed with the knife.

"Stop!" A sharp voice came, and Yue Chimu and the imperial concubine came on horseback.

Yue Chimu blocked the knife in Lou Junji's hand, and the imperial concubine threw herself in front of the prime minister.

Yue Xiang was shocked, then incredulous, and finally moved, and said, "My child, I didn't expect that it was you who came to save me in the end."

“Hahahahahaha…” Lou Junji smiled bitterly and looked at his mother with sad and disappointed expression.

She caused his own disability and the overthrow of his dynasty. He would rather have Lou Junze ascend the throne and have himself imprisoned in a dark alley forever than to watch the entire royal family being slaughtered, the country overthrown, and himself becoming a useless person.

Lou Junji raised his knife and pointed it at the imperial concubine, his voice trembling: "Mother, I will call you mother for the last time..."

"Child..." The imperial concubine's eyes were red. She raised her hand and grasped the handle of the knife. The sharp blade cut her slender hand, and warm blood flowed from her fingertips.

"Mother knows that you hate me in your heart and will never forgive me, but mother still wants to do one last thing for you. Let mother take the blame for the crime of patricide." After she said that, she snatched the knife, turned around and stabbed it into the prime minister's chest.

The Prime Minister had been besieged by the elite troops for a long time and was seriously injured. He was caught off guard and was attacked by her. He looked at the Imperial Concubine in astonishment and said, "Rou'er."

Imperial Concubine: "Dad, I started my enlightenment at the age of two, and started holding a pen at the age of three. I played the piano and wrote. I practiced hard in all the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I learned all the intrigues in the world from you, how to be ruthless, how to break love, how to gain a foothold in the palace, and how to become the Queen of the Central Palace. I have lived my whole life for the family. I even gave up my beloved and became an old man with a snake's tail. I even gave up my conscience, and did all kinds of bad things in the palace with blood on my hands.

But in the end, you were the one who killed me the most cruelly.

You are so cruel that you didn't even leave me a chance to survive."

After saying this, the imperial concubine used all her strength to stab the knife into the prime minister's heart. Although she did not know martial arts, she was very strong after being trapped in the deep palace for her whole life. Moreover, the prime minister was being held down by the elite soldiers of the thirteen states in the southern region.

The handle of the knife sank into his chest inch by inch.

Mu Yanzhi, who was on his horse, quietly watched the prime minister breathe his last, thinking that it was a wonderful drama.

Now that the prime minister is dead, the monkeys scatter like monkeys when the tree falls, and the remaining mother and son, Lou Junji, are nothing more than playthings in his hands.
