Chapter 344 Emperor Canglan and the Crown Prince are both dead

A long procession followed the imperial carriage.

Just as Shangguan Ziqi had expected, there were royal relatives and ministers.

The prince rode a tall horse and guarded the imperial carriage.

The Zhu family's ancestral temple was not far from the imperial palace, built about three miles east of it.

Some people were not afraid of the cold weather and came out to watch.

Shangguan Ziqi had several secret guards disguise themselves as civilians and hide in the crowd, and a few others hid in the houses on both sides of the road.

When passing a bend, the guards in front cannot see behind, and the guards behind cannot see in front.

Shangguan Ziqi was hiding in a house at the corner.

Choose the right moment, ignite a bomb, calculate the explosion time, and throw it accurately into Emperor Canglan's carriage.

A foreign object flew over and the alert imperial guards immediately noticed it.

"There is an assassin." A loud shout was heard.

But just as these three words fell.

There was a deafening explosion.

In an instant, the emperor's carriage was completely shattered, and thick smoke billowed, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Immediately afterwards, several more bombs flew from different directions.

The entire team had no time to react. Everyone was so shocked that they didn't know what to do.

Those who are a little rational will instinctively flee.

But the bombs came so fast and so violently, and the loud noises kept coming, which scared people.

Then there was smoke.

The pungent smell makes people cough continuously and they don’t know where to escape.

Shangguan Ziqi concentrated and threw three pieces at the same position.

He only stopped when he thought that the emperor, the crown prince, and several other princes were all doomed.

The imperial city suddenly became chaotic.

The people shouted and fled in all directions.

Some of them had heard storytellers talk about the power of the Wei bomb.

They realized that the people from Wei were coming to the capital to drop bombs.

They all fled to the city gate because they didn't want to die.

Shangguan Ziqi and his group followed the crowd of people fleeing the city and left Jingcang City together.

By the time the generals defending the city reacted and wanted to close the city gates, they had already escaped more than ten miles away.

They waited for a day in a small county town.

This is also one of the strongholds of the Wei Dynasty.

It was later learned that Emperor Canglan and the Crown Prince were killed on the spot and their faces were disfigured beyond recognition.

Emperor Canglan's other three sons also died.

There are also many relatives.

The ministers, who were a little further away, had a few killed, but many more wounded.

Countless guards were killed or wounded.

"Master, we did a great job." Yuanshan smiled foolishly.

"Alright, put away your silly look. Let's go back to Wei. It's time to return to the capital.

Canglan also has a third prince who is about the same age as the crown prince in his fiefdom. He is expected to return and take charge of the situation."

"Then didn't he get the throne for nothing?" Qingfeng smiled the same way as Yuanshan.

“Yes, he was lucky to have met this prince who helped clear the way for him.

But his days will not be easy. Canglan is now a mess with holes everywhere, and it will take decades to recover."

"It's what they deserve. It's the Canglan royal family's fault for wanting revenge. If they just lived their lives honestly and didn't offend anyone, how could this disaster have happened?" Qingfeng curled his lips and said with disdain.

"Humph, that's just a pretext they gave themselves. They actually want to capture our Great Wei." Shangguan Ziqi saw through it all.

Isn’t that what happened in the war a hundred years ago?

If our ancestors had not obtained the formula for the bomb, the Wei Dynasty would have ceased to exist long ago.

"That's what the master said."

The goal was achieved, and no one in Shangguan Ziqi's hands was lost.

Set off back to Rongbei City.

When Yu Yuanzheng received the news that the prince had returned, she was still a little skeptical.

So fast?

They were out for only about a month.

I saw him riding into the city on a fast horse with high spirits.

Yu Yuanzheng was in a teahouse, looking down.

When Shangguan Ziqi passed by downstairs, he looked up and saw his wife looking at him with a smile.

"Cousin Ziqi!" Hua Xiangling shouted while waving her hands, interrupting the two people's eye contact.

Shangguan Ziqi jumped up and went straight in through the open window, and at the same time held Yu Yuanzheng a little aside to make it easier for him to enter.

The eldest prince is also here.

Shangguan Ziqi took Yu Yuanzheng's hand and sat down.

The eldest prince picked up the teapot and poured tea for Shangguan Ziqi himself.

"Thank you for your hard work." The eldest prince smiled and said as he poured water.

"How was it?" Yu Yuanzheng couldn't wait to ask about the trip.

"As I wish."

Just four simple words and everyone understands.

The trip went very smoothly.

Shangguan Ziqi took a few sips of tea and recounted his journey.

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, Yu Yuanzheng smiled like a flower, and Hua Xiangling laughed so hard that she clapped her hands.

"That's great, cousin. Will there be no more enemy countries invading the Wei Dynasty in the future?" Hua Xiangling asked the eldest prince happily.

"Yes, the Great Wei will be peaceful in the future. The people will not have to worry about being displaced one day." The eldest prince said with a smile.

He was also in a very good mood.

During the attack on Canglan, he also led his troops to capture two cities. Although he relied on special weapons, he did capture the enemy city, which is his merit.

The eldest prince is also the main general on the battlefield.

Although he did not go directly to the battlefield to kill the enemy, his command was good, which reduced the casualties of his own soldiers and successfully defeated the enemy.

"You guys rode all the way back here at full speed, didn't you?

Let's rest for two days, and then we will return to the capital as soon as General Chen and General Chen arrive.

The emperor's decree has arrived long ago, and he is just waiting for you to come back.

I have already arranged for you to guard the border.

Go back later and review the list and deployment. If there are no problems, follow the plan I have decided."

"Okay!" Only then did Shangguan Ziqi truly feel that the burden on him was finally lightened.

The couple exchanged glances again.

The movement in his eyes made Hua Xiangling and the eldest prince smile secretly.

But after this month, Hua Xiangling still hadn't chosen the person she wanted to marry in the army.

They drank some tea and prepared to return to the government office.

As a result, Shangguan Ziqi saw that the eldest prince stood up.

Is this guy not pretending to be disabled anymore?

The eldest prince saw him looking at his legs and smiled: "While you were away, the great doctor Zeng has cured my legs."

Hearing this, Hua Xiangling covered her mouth and laughed.

When she arrived at Rongbei City, the eldest prince had not yet arrived.

When he came, I saw him sitting in a wheelchair.

I admire him very much. I ran over and praised this cousin, who came to the border to lead the troops to fight despite his disabled legs.

As a result, as soon as his cousin Ziqi left, he actually stood up.

Don't avoid her at all.

It dawned on her.

Yuan Zheng's cousin's wife is a miracle doctor. She must have cured him long ago. He has been pretending to be disabled, just like his cousin Ziqi.

"My wife's contribution is the greatest. When you go back, remember to ask for more benefits from the emperor for my wife." Shangguan Ziqi asked exaggeratedly.

"Haha... no problem." The eldest prince laughed heartily.

Everyone knows it.

After returning to his residence, Shangguan Ziqi reviewed the eldest prince's arrangements and found them to be very satisfactory. He then arranged the garrison according to his plan.

It will take some time for Canglan to send a delegation to seek peace.

You should also urge them when appropriate.

Shangguan Ziqi also gave them enough time.

The chaos he created will not be stabilized so quickly.

At this time, the people had all returned to their homes.

Officials from every city were in their places.

When the Wei army captured several cities from Canglan State, they did not make things difficult for the people.

Shangguan Ziqi ordered his soldiers not to harass the people.

When the Wei army attacked, it was so fast that the people had no time to escape.

This move gradually put the anxious hearts of the people of Canglan at ease.

Apart from the city defense, nothing else was affected much.

Two days later, General Chen and his son also arrived in Rongbei City.

After discussion, several people decided to leave General Chen to guard the border and handle military affairs. If there were any matters that could not be handled, they would send a military report back to the capital.

Shangguan Ziqi left him a thousand bombs to intimidate the Canglan Army.

But now that the war has ceased, it probably won't be used.

When they were about to set off, they received news from Canglan Capital.
