This villain has become a ghost

Chu Shiqing couldn't help but ask, "Is she really... a girl?"

...He looked delicate and refined, yet I hadn't expected him to be so ruthless. Judging from his fearlessness in the face of danger, his eloquence in persuading others, and his decapitation, he was definitely not an ordinary person.

Xia Ruozhi had an unfathomable look on his face, and said seriously in a low voice:

"Did you see it too?"

"To tell you the truth, this person is actually a man."

"Ah?" Chu Shiqing widened his eyes.

He originally thought Xia Ruozhi was blind, but he spoke so seriously... He had to doubt...

...Is Xia Ruozhi crazy?

This is obviously a girl.

Who on earth had tricked him into this?

Being tough is good for both men and women.

Just when Chu Shiqing was feeling heartbroken about Xia Ruzhi's IQ, a large group of people suddenly came from the west.

Judging from their attire, they were clearly the bandits from Cangshan. The Wuzhou governor and Murong Huai were tied up tightly and thrown onto horses.

And the leader was Pei Duo.

Pei Duo looked at the scenery on the city wall and stood there for a moment, shocked by Yue Liuyun.

The woman behind Pei Duo had her face covered, revealing only a pair of upturned eyes.

Chu Shiqing stared at her with a sharp gaze, frowned, and said in a deep voice:

"...Your Highness, the Princess? Aren't you in the Sky Prison?"

Nangong Wanqing: “…”

Nangong Wanqing tore off the cloth covering her face.

It's boring, really boring.

Is there no one in this world who can't recognize her?

The others were fine, but because of what happened at the last autumn banquet with Lin Yuan, Chu Shiqing had some personal grudges with her and they might not get along well.

So being recognized by him is not a good thing.

As expected, Chu Shiqing's eyes were full of vigilance.

Nangong Wanqing sighed.

Because of this, when they were invited to meet Feng Ning that night, Qiu Shuangwan was the only one there, and she was afraid of being seen by Chu Shiqing.

Just now she hid behind Pei Duo, trying to get him to block her, but it didn't work.

On the city wall.

Yue Liuyun picked up the severed head with his blood-stained hands and threw it fiercely from the city wall, shouting once more:

"Open the city gate!"

"Yes!"

This time no one disobeyed her, and Commander Wu immediately led people down to open the city gate.

The city gate was slowly opened, accompanied by gusts of dust, as if a giant beast had opened its mouth, bringing with it a heart-pounding darkness.

Xia Ruozhi's face relaxed, and he was about to order everyone to enter the city, but was stopped by Chu Shiqing.

"Don't even move!"

Xia Ruozhi looked at him in surprise, frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chu Shiqing glanced in the direction of Pei Duo and Nangong Wanqing, raised his head, and shouted loudly to Yue Liuyun on the city wall:

"Miss Yue... No, Lord Yue's next plan should be to take us directly to Wuzhou. Then I want to ask, now that the governor of Quanzhou is dead, who will take over it?"

"If it is you, my Lord, who takes over, I will be convinced."

"But if it's the bandit leader, or Her Royal Highness the Princess who's supposed to be in jail, I'm sorry I can't obey your orders!"

Yue Liuyun raised his eyebrows and said:

"General Chang Geng, do you not trust my decision?"

"Your Excellency knows that my trust in you comes from what His Majesty told Feng Ning to say," Chu Shiqing continued, "...that's why I cooperate with you, Your Excellency."

“But now the cooperation is over.”

Chu Shiqing said in a deep voice:

"You can let General Qisha lead the troops to the border first. I believe that as a general, I have the obligation to eliminate the bandits."

Nangong Wanqing: “…”

Okay, you are good, this gangster also includes her, right?

Yue Liuyun wiped the bloody dagger on his clothes a few times, put it away, and also put away the musket he was playing with.

She said casually:

"General Chang Geng, I'll explain this to you on the way."

Chu Shiqing keenly caught a certain word.

"On the way?"

Yue Liuyun leaned on the city wall and said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess will go to Wuzhou with us, taking the two people who were tied up with her."

Pei Duo's pupils constricted, and he asked in disbelief:

"You're leaving?"

Nangong Wanqing chuckled.

Looking at this situation, even Pei Duo didn't know what she was going to do. She really didn't hold back from anyone.

Chu Shiqing frowned and was about to speak.

Yue Liuyun didn't give him a chance.

"As for cooperation..." She wiped the bloodstains around her eyes with her sleeve to make her vision clearer, "...General Chang Geng, I have never thought of cooperating with you."

"What do you mean?" Chu Shiqing asked.

The girl's cheeks were covered in blood, her innocent eyes were filled with indifference, and her hair had fallen down at some point, now blown high behind her head by the wind.

She moved closer to the torch and pulled out a cold, black object from her bosom, which was faintly purple in the firelight.

This time, not only Xia Ruzhi and Chu Shiqing, but even Nangong Wanqing felt as if a huge lightning bolt had struck their heads, and they were shocked beyond words!

It turned out to be a purple jade tiger talisman!

Of the military forces that Daying can mobilize, excluding the imperial guards, the Yulin Army, and the state guards... 40% are in the hands of the Song family, and the remaining 60% of the military power is shared by four people, namely General Changgeng Chu Shiqing, General Qisha Xia Ruzhi, General Kuishao Lin Yuan, and General Qiming Liu Zeyin.

The Imperial Guards and the Yulin Army were mainly responsible for guarding the imperial palace and were insignificant compared to these generals.

So what about the emperor?

He had his own reasons for daring to delegate power in this way.

The emperor holds the Purple Jade Tiger Tally, and he can command all the troops in Daying. Whether it is the Imperial Guards guarding the palace, the Imperial Guards, or the generals, they must obey his orders!

Logically speaking, the purple jade tiger talisman should only be handed over to the next emperor as a symbol of power before the emperor dies.

How could the emperor...how dare he give this to her?!

Yue Liuyun looked up indifferently. Her gestures were strangely similar to Nangong Mingzhu's. Her voice was a little hoarse, but extremely loud, reaching the ears of everyone below the city:

"Here is the Purple Jade Tiger Talisman. Soldiers, listen to my command. From now on, set out for Wuzhou!"

"Those who disobey orders will be killed!"

-

The mayor of Wancheng has been tossing and turning for a while and his hair is almost falling out.

The city lord's name is Zhao Zhiming.

He thinks of himself as just a hardworking and honest man.

Although Wancheng is one of the five cities, its economic strength is not as good as the other four cities, so he lives there with peace of mind.

Compared with trade, the people of Wancheng are better at farming and are self-sufficient, so they live a comfortable life.

But can anyone tell him what is going on now?

Rebellions broke out one after another in the other four cities, either by bandits or so-called rebel forces. Yizhou became a den of thieves, and Liu Zeyin, ambitious and ruthless, soon annexed Liangzhou.
