The first county magistrate in history

Xia Mochu stood there in a daze.

Xia Mo Ning's pretty face turned pale.

Did An Dehai dare to kill royal relatives?

Master is right, An Dehai has been spoiled by his sister.

Xia Mo Ning had mixed feelings about the Fifth Prince's death. What good was there in the imperial family? He wanted to go and lie low with his master, away from the strife.

Xia Mo Ning was also meeting the Fifth Prince for the first time, so she had no feelings for him and naturally had no thoughts. Xia Qiming wanted to rebel, so he should be killed.

But Xia Mochu is different. Her mother died because of the Fifth Prince, and she had long wanted to kill Xia Qiming.

However, Xia Qiming really died in front of her, but she did not feel the pleasure of revenge.

But a feeling of sadness came over me.

If this wasn't the imperial family, perhaps...

At this moment, Li Qiuhan looked indifferent. Ever since the Fifth Prince was captured, she knew that Andehai would kill the Fifth Prince, because this was Andehai's idea a long time ago. If he walked into the trap himself, how could he let you leave?

Li Qiuhan stepped forward, picked up Xia Qiming's body and head, walked out the door, and handed them to a major inner guard...

Then I cleaned it myself...

"Sister, Uncle An went to kill Xia Jinzhong and Xia Tianjiao!" Xia Mo Ning reminded Xia Mochu: "My master said that we can't touch them now!"

Xia Mochu said, "Uncle An has his reasons for doing this. You must believe that Uncle An has no second thoughts about us!"

Xia Mo Ning was anxious: "Sister, what if they are really our father..."

Xia Mochu shook his head: "Impossible, I was by my father's side when he was dying. How could he not tell me such an important thing?"

In reality, Xia Mochu hadn't made up her mind. However, she had long considered killing Xia Jinzhong and Xia Tianjiao. If Uncle An wanted to kill them, then so be it. As for what the Fifth Prince said, how could she believe it? She firmly believed that her father would not fail to tell her about such a serious matter.

"Your Majesty!" At this moment, Li Qiuhan walked in with a strange expression.

Xia Mochu looked at Li Qiuhan: "What's wrong?"

Li Qiuhan hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle An left in a hurry and left two notes in his sleeves."

Then he handed it to Xia Mochu!

Xia Mochu took it and looked at it. His face changed drastically and he exclaimed, "Qin Zheng's secret letter was intercepted by Uncle An? He didn't show it to me?"

Xia Mo Ning snatched the note and was shocked after reading it. "Xia Bitu rebelled and has returned to the imperial capital. My master was trapped at the border by Xia Bitu's masters, but he has already broken out and is on his way back. The identities of Xia Tianjiao and Xia Jinzhong are still uncertain. According to my analysis, they are very likely descendants of the late emperor and cannot be killed. The rebels outside the city are just a cover, so be careful of those around you. If you leave, use the imperial guards to protect you."

Xia Mo Ning was shocked. She quickly urged her sister: "Sister, stop Uncle An!"

Xia Mochu hesitated: "Uncle An said that Qin Zheng is very likely coveting the throne of Daqian..."

At this moment, a carrier pigeon landed on the windowsill...

Xia Mochu read the secret letter and remained silent.

Then give it to Xia Mo Ning.

Xia Mo Ning took the secret letter and saw at a glance that it was written by her master.

The general content was: The Grand Elder of the Five Elements Sect has been sent by me to the palace to protect the emperor. Please let him go. Mo Ning cannot remain in the palace. An Dehai wants to kill her. No need to hold back; this is the final showdown. Xia Bitu has already given his all. The Fourth Princess and the Twelve Guardians are dead. I will clean up Ningguta, so don't worry. I will wipe out the 300,000 rebels. You only need to ensure your own safety and Mo Ning's!

Xia Mo Ning's expression changed.

"The Fourth Princess is dead? Uncle An wants to kill me?"

Xia Mochu sneered, "Uncle An is right. Qin Zheng is the biggest enemy. He's trying to sow discord between us and Uncle An, and he's even trying to send assassins into the palace to kill me! He's preventing us from clearing out the rebels so they can enter the city. She didn't allow us to kill, yet she killed the Fourth Princess. Is she trying to paralyze me? Is the Fourth Princess really dead, or is this just his story?"

Xia Mo Ning was shocked: "Impossible, my master..."

Xia Mochu waved his hand. "The Five Elements Sect's five great warriors are all at the border. How can he wipe out 300,000 rebels? He's making up lies like that. I really misjudged him!"

Anger flashed in Xia Mochu's eyes.

"Sister, you must have misunderstood my master..." Xia Mo Ning refused to believe it.

"Mo Ning, you are the future emperor. You cannot act on your emotions. You must always stay sober and be on guard against others. No matter Qin Zheng's wisdom or status, we cannot help but be on guard. It is better to believe in him than not to believe in him. We have the Jinyiwei and the Tianlei Cannon. They are enough to protect our own safety. It is better to trust yourself than to trust anyone else." Xia Mochu said.

Before Xia Mo Ning could speak, Xia Mo Chu gave a stern order: "Qiu Han, the Tiger Guards can show up and take action to eliminate the rebels!"

"Yes!" Li Qiuhan left quickly.

These were the 300,000 brave and skilled soldiers Xia Mochu had prepared over the years. They were also her trump card besides the Imperial Guards.

"Your Majesty!" Yuan Shiqing came running over, looking extremely panicked.

Xia Mochu's expression changed: "Could there be something wrong with the Sky Thunder Cannon?"

Before that, she ordered Yuan Shiqing to set up the sky thunder cannon.

Yuan Shiqing's expression made Xia Mochu feel uneasy.

Yuan Shiqing's voice trembled: "The Tianlei Cannon has become a pile of scrap metal, and all the soldiers guarding it have been killed!"

At the end of summer, Xia Mo Ning was horrified.

"Did someone sneak in or is there a spy in the palace?" Xia Mochu said angrily.

Yuan Shiqing looked worried: "He's a master, probably an infiltrator. We're still searching for him."

Xia Mochu's expression changed drastically: "If he can enter the palace, then his strength must be above yours, right?"

Yuan Shiqing smiled bitterly, "There are always mountains beyond the mountains! Your Majesty, I have ordered the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Household Guards to seal off the palace. Even to deliver a message, we must be a hundred meters away. But I remain concerned, and I implore Your Majesty to activate the Imperial Guards!"

Xia Mochu frowned: "Qin Zheng said so too."

Yuan Shiqing was startled: "Did Qin Zheng send a letter?"

Xia Mo Ning quickly said, "My master is on his way here. He said this is Xia Bitu's all-out fight. He will help my sister, but she doesn't believe it!"

Yuan Shiqing said solemnly, "Qin Zheng's reasoning skills are quite impressive. We can't trust him completely, but it's better to be on guard against potential problems."

Xia Mo Ning: "My sister said this was a trick of my master, he wanted to usurp the throne and seize power."

Yuan Shiqing was shocked: "How is this possible?"

Xia Mochu glared at Xia Mo Ning and said, "I have my own ideas. When it's time to use the Jinyiwei, I will use them!"

Suddenly, several people's faces changed and they heard the sound of fighting.

At this moment, outside the imperial capital, hundreds of thousands of soldiers have already started fighting...

"Your Majesty!" Li Qiuhan hurried in. "Eunuch An has already beheaded Xia Jinzhong and hung his head on the tower at the south gate of the imperial capital. Eunuch An has gone to the battlefront between the two armies to kill Xia Tianjiao."

There was silence in the house.

Xia Mo Ning looked at her sister.

Yuan Shiqing also looked at Xia Mochu.

Both of them were thinking, aren’t they afraid that Xia Jinzhong is really the bloodline of the late emperor?

Xia Mochu's body was trembling a little, and she was afraid that she had killed the wrong person.

But she believes in Uncle An!
