After guarding the border for his father for three years, the daughter-in-law returns home and becom

"Come here, first raid the homes of Zhang Dongzhi, the Minister of Personnel, and the Minister of Revenue. These three are not good people to begin with."

Hearing this, the guard beside him bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please be cautious. The Prime Minister is a veteran of three dynasties!"

"Who cares about the dynasty? Just copy it first, and then make the fifth prince Chu Yun the crown prince."

"This...No."

The guard bowed and accepted the order, then turned and left.

At this time, Emperor Yongning was thinking about his own plan in his mind.

That is to make Chu Yun the crown prince and then destroy his followers. In this way, Chu Yun will definitely be eliminated by other princes.

And Chu Yang's position as the crown prince was gone!

A few days later.

Chu Yang in the inn stood up slowly. He took a deep breath and felt that his strength had recovered a lot.

"Luckily I didn't stab my kidney, otherwise I would have been dead."

As he spoke, he took out the letter and prepared to take Yang Yuhuan to Qiongzhou to see if he could send the letter through the post station on the way.

at this time.

Yang Yuhuan ran in in a hurry.

"Your Highness, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Personnel, and the Minister of Revenue have all had their homes confiscated."

Hearing this, Chu Yang was not panicked at all and sneered, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Well done! These three guys were no good to begin with. I've wanted to kill them for a long time. It's good that they're dead now."

"Your Highness..."

Yang Yuhuan hesitated to speak. She wanted to remind Chu Yang that now was not the time to say such things, but when she saw Chu Yang's cold eyes, she swallowed her words back.

"But having said that, Emperor Yongning is really cruel and ruthless."

Chu Yang stroked his chin, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, "I just pushed my fifth brother onto the throne of the crown prince, and now I cut off all his left and right arms. I want him to be a lone minister."

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Yang Yuhuan asked worriedly.

"What are you afraid of? If the sky falls, a tall man will hold it up."

Chu Yang waved his hand disapprovingly, "The most important thing for us now is to get to Qiongzhou as soon as possible. Once we get there, I will be like a dragon entering the sea or a tiger returning to the mountains. No one can do anything to me!"

As he spoke, he stood up and looked into the distance with a determined gaze.

"Let's go, let's go and see the world of the Great Zhou!"

along the way.

Chu Yang and Yang Yuhuan disguised themselves, avoided the official roads, and took the less traveled paths. They slept in the open air along the way and lived comfortably.

The two of them sped along, finally leaving the desolate land and arriving at a fairly large city.

On the city gate tower, the three large characters "Luoyang City" are written in a flamboyant style, which looks quite imposing.

"Finally I see some popularity. This damn place doesn't even have a place to eat."

Chu Yang stretched himself, exhausted from all the hardships along the way.

If it weren't for the need to get to Qiongzhou as soon as possible, he really wanted to find a place to have a good rest.

"Your Highness, let's get into the city as soon as possible and find an inn to rest for the night."

Yang Yuhuan suggested that although she was also a martial artist, the long journey would be too much for her delicate skin.

Chu Yang nodded, and the two of them led the horses and followed the crowd towards the city gate.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Chu Yang was attracted by a notice posted on the city wall.

"Recruiting soldiers? Who is this Luoyang County Magistrate? How dare he recruit soldiers privately?"

Chu Yang frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

The laws of the Great Zhou were strict, and recruiting soldiers without permission was a serious crime.

The magistrate of Luoyang City is so bold and presumptuous. Isn't he afraid of being blamed by the court?

"Your Highness, let's not cause any more trouble."

Yang Yuhuan pulled Chu Yang's sleeve and whispered, "Less trouble is worse than more trouble. It's more important for us to get to Qiongzhou as soon as possible."

Chu Yang thought about it and felt that what Yang Yuhuan said made sense, so he withdrew his gaze and prepared to enter the city.

at this time.

A commotion came from deeper in the street, accompanied by several panicked shouts.

"Conscripts! Run!"

Immediately afterwards, a group of soldiers wearing leather armor and holding spears rushed over aggressively.

The leader, with a face full of flesh, waved a whip in his hand ferociously and shouted loudly at the people on the roadside.

"Stop right there! Anyone who dares to run will be killed without mercy!"

These soldiers were as fierce as wolves and tigers. They arrested young and strong men without any explanation and completely ignored the people's pleas.

"In broad daylight, they are actually conscripting men. Is there any law left?"

Chu Yang was immediately furious when he saw this. He hated these dogs/officials who oppressed the people the most!

"Your Highness, calm down!"

Seeing Chu Yang about to rush out, Yang Yuhuan quickly held him back and said anxiously, "It's obvious that these people are not good people. We'd better not provoke them."

"Yuhuan, don't worry, I know what to do."

Chu Yang patted Yang Yuhuan's hand, motioning her to be at ease, and then stepped forward.

"stop!"

Chu Yang roared angrily, his voice like a loud bell, making the soldiers' eardrums buzz.

"Where did this brat come from, daring to meddle in my business?!"

The leading soldier was a little afraid when he saw Chu Yang's unusual clothing, but relying on his large numbers, he still shouted in a timid manner.

“I will always keep my name and surname. I am the current crown prince, Chu Yang!” Chu Yang said proudly, his tone filled with arrogance.

"What?! Prince?!"

When the soldiers heard Chu Yang introduce himself, they were so frightened that their souls left their bodies, and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground with a clanging sound.

"You...you are talking nonsense! How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be here?!"

Although the soldier was afraid, he still spoke with all his strength.

"How dare you! You kneel down and bow to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Yang Yuhuan, who was beside Chu Yang, gave a delicate shout, and a fierce aura emanated from her, making it hard for the soldiers to breathe.

"I……"

The soldier wanted to argue, but when he saw the looks in Chu Yang and Yang Yuhuan's eyes, he was so frightened that his legs went limp and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Highness, please spare my life! I was blind and offended Your Highness. Please forgive me!"

“Hmph! Are you scared now? What were you doing before?” Chu Yang snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain.

"Your Highness, please spare me! We are only following orders. Everything was ordered by the county magistrate!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the soldiers knelt down and begged for mercy, putting all the blame on the county magistrate.

Chu Yang naturally would not believe the nonsense of these soldiers, he sneered.

"Humph! This prince wants to see who gave you the courage to force you to recruit soldiers in broad daylight!"

"Come on, take me to see your county magistrate!"

Chu Yang waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to lead the way.

The soldiers dared not resist. They got up obediently and walked towards the county government office with Chu Yang and Yang Yuhuan.

Along the way, people stopped to watch, point and talk.
