The eldest son is fierce

When the old emperor and the young emperor heard Tang Yi's words, they felt as if a bolt of thunder had struck their foreheads, petrifying them on the spot.

Would Zhuge Wanwan rebel? Would she lead an army to attack Kyoto? Would she become an accomplice in the destruction of Nanjing? How was this possible?

"This is impossible, Zhuge Wanwan wouldn't dare!"

The old emperor was filled with terrified fear. He knew that what he had done to Zhuge Wanwan and the Zhuge family over the years was enough for Zhuge Wanwan to rebel against him eight hundred times.

But now he still had one last glimmer of hope in his heart. He pointed at Tang Yi and grinned, "I still have Zhuge Yong in my hands. He is the only bloodline of the Zhuge family. As long as he is still in my hands, Zhuge Wanwan will not dare to rebel!"

"Haha, haha, you attacked the palace tonight just to save Zhuge Yong, didn't you? Don't even think about it!"

The old emperor was hysterical.

He had been plotting and planning for so many years, training masters to eliminate An Jinglou and destroying the Zhuge clan, all in order to become an unrestrained emperor.

But unexpectedly, everything was ruined because of Tang Yi who appeared out of nowhere!

"Yes, we still have Zhuge Yong, and Zhuge Yong..." The little emperor's face was pale, but he was staring at Tang Yi and others outside the window.

However, at this moment, the way Tang Yi and his group looked at the father and son was as if they were two idiots.

"It's already this late, and you still haven't figured out the situation?"

Tang Yi ate some melon seeds while glaring at the old emperor and said, "Old man, do you think that as long as Zhuge Yong is still in your hands, you have the capital to control Zhuge Wanwan?"

"But why do you think that my presence here will not save Zhuge Yong?"

Luoluo stepped forward, pointing the large hammer at the old emperor. "I've seen it all, haven't you? With the two of you as hostages, we can save not only one Zhuge Yong, but even ten of them."

"You idiot, that pervert Tang Yi has been targeting you guys from the very beginning, Zhuge Yong is just a by-product."

"In military terms, this is called...what is it called?"

Luoluo couldn't remember for a moment, and turned to look at Ying Wuzong beside her. Ying Wuzong immediately added: "Decapitation operation!"

The corner of Tang Yi's mouth twitched. In this era, it would be more appropriate to say "capture the leader first".

The old emperor and the young emperor were stunned when they heard this, and a chill ran from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

Yes! Their two emperors are in Tang Yi's hands. With them as hostages, how dare they not release Zhuge Yong?

The young emperor and the old emperor's heartbeats suddenly accelerated. They were careless. At first, they both thought that Tang Yi's target was Zhuge Yong, and the so-called attack on the palace was just a feint to the east and attack in the west.

It turned out that this guy's target was them. A decapitation operation? Was he going to kill them?

Yes, once they die, Nanjing will be leaderless, and with Zhuge Wanwan's betrayal, Nanjing will surely perish.

"Oh, it seems that he is awake." Seeing the old emperor's face alternately turning blue and white, Tang Yi knew that he had come to his senses.

The old emperor did not reply, but took a deep breath and tried to suppress the restlessness in his heart.

After a while, when he opened his eyes again, although there was still some anger in the old emperor's eyes, he had calmed down.

"Zhuge Yong will give it to you. Nanjing will be divided with Qianyang City as the boundary, and everything to the north will be given to Dayan. Can this matter... be settled?"

The old emperor stared at Tang Yi, without any emotion in his voice.

Although he was heartbroken to lose dozens of cities in the northern border, he could only sacrifice some of his own strength to buy time. As long as the Qianyang City line remained in Nanjing's hands, Nanjing could still resist the invasion of Dayan.

However, Tang Yi laughed, raised his hand and nodded at the old emperor, saying: "You old thing are very cunning. At this time, you are still thinking about good things?"

"If I only want your little piece of land outside Qianyang City, do I need to personally risk my life? If I come, there will only be one end for Nanjing: the destruction of the country!"

At this point, Tang Yi pulled Qiu Ju to his side and said, "See? She is the new emperor I prepared for Nanjing."

Qiuju looked up at the old emperor and the young emperor standing in the hall. Her pretty face was cold and her beautiful eyes were filled with hatred that was hard to conceal.

It was because the old emperor could not distinguish right from wrong and deliberately targeted the Shen family that the Shen family was scared into selling her to the emperor as a maid.

"Your servant Shen Xinju pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor." Qiuju bowed slightly and saluted with a sneer.

The old emperor and the young emperor were both puzzled when they saw Qiuju. They didn't remember the woman in front of them. Xiao Hu, who was standing beside them, was already pale. He stared at Qiuju in disbelief and said, "It's you? It's actually you?!"

The old emperor and the young emperor suddenly looked at the distraught Xiao Hu, and saw Xiao Hu pointing at Qiu Ju and saying, "Your Majesty, she is the granddaughter of Master Shen, Shen Xinju!"

Master Shen?

Upon hearing this, the old emperor's pupils suddenly shrank. Grand Tutor Shen Conglin? !

The old emperor finally remembered that five years ago, Shen Conglin and the prince were too close, so he ordered the Shen family to send Shen Xinju into the palace as a slave to warn the Shen family.

As expected, the Shen family immediately became obedient, and he no longer cared about the matter. But now, the woman he had disdained all those years ago is actually coming back to compete with him for the throne?!

"Your Majesty, you ordered me to select a group of beautiful women for special training as spies and then assign them to various countries to lie undercover. Shen Xinju was one of them."

Seeing the murderous look on the emperor's face, Xiao Hu quickly explained, "She went to Dayan, using the pseudonym Qiuju to enter brothels and socialize with high-ranking officials and nobles in Dayan...but all news about her disappeared not long ago, and I thought she was dead. I never expected she would actually rebel."

At this moment, the despair in Xiao Hu's heart was no less than that of the old emperor and the young emperor. Qiu Ju was someone he trained personally, but now she had become the one who could take his life.

The old emperor then remembered that in order to obtain intelligence from various countries, he had personally ordered Xiao Hu to gather a group of beautiful women and send them to various countries as spies.

But I didn't expect to suffer such a backlash!

The old emperor looked at Qiu Ju with cold eyes, his voice filled with intimidation and threats: "What? Are you also going to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country? Think carefully, the Shen family will be doomed because of you."

Qiuju narrowed her eyes: "Shen family? Oh, does it have anything to do with me?"

"And your Majesty seems to have forgotten that your life is still in our hands. What qualifications do you have to question me?"

"Shen Xinju, you are disloyal and unfilial to your king and father!" the old emperor roared.

Facing Tang Yi and Qiu Ju, he felt like his fists were hitting cotton. The other party did not accept his attack, making all his threats and intimidation become impotent roars.

"Husband, he threatened me!" Qiuju turned around and hugged Tang Yi's waist, burying her head in Tang Yi's chest, looking frightened.

Tang Yi patted Qiuju on the back, drew his flintlock rifle, looked at the old emperor and said:

"By the way, old man, let me ask you a question."

"Do you... have grandchildren?!"
