Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

Only when Lou Xin stood on the city wall of Liangzhou did he believe that all this was true.

The princess actually persuaded Xu An, the military commander of Liangzhou, to surrender, and personally welcomed them into the city to help them capture Liangzhou.

"Princess, this is the first time I've fought such an easy battle."

Returning to Qiao Xi, Lou Xin excitedly said, "I only heard that you were in poor health and had been recuperating in the palace. I didn't expect that you would be more powerful than the prince in taking the city."

Lou Xinkua's sincerity.

Taking Liangzhou will allow us to supply water to northern Xinjiang. With water, the people and soldiers in northern Xinjiang can survive.

He didn't expect that Qiao Xi could solve the problem in northern Xinjiang so easily.

I feel grateful and admire you.

Qiao Xi stood in front of the inn window, looking at the streets that had become bustling again after the mutiny, with a calm expression.

She simply took advantage of her rebirth as a prophet to catch her opponent off guard and seize the initiative.

This is just a small step, and there is still a long way to go.

Qiao Xi didn't dare to relax.

"Lou Xin, yesterday you came to Liangzhou on the orders of the King of Jiangbei."

She cannot expose herself until she has the strength to compete with the emperor. If she really cannot hide, she hopes to do it as late as possible so that she can have more time to strengthen herself.

"Capturing the city was a lucky opportunity, but defending it is not easy. From now on, you and Xu An will jointly guard Liangzhou. Concealing my whereabouts is the first task I give you."

That night, after meeting Lou Xin, she secretly left the palace, drank contraceptive soup at the clinic, went to deal with the informant who contacted Bixiang with the capital, and then came to Liangzhou alone.

After arriving in Liangzhou, she covered her face with a veil again. Among the five thousand soldiers, only Lou Xin knew that she was the one who led this matter.

Lou Xin understood what Qiao Xi meant and made a solemn promise.

As for dragging Su Heting into this matter, he had no psychological burden. The prince originally wanted to attack Liangzhou for water resources, and now he has achieved his goal without losing his brothers. In comparison, making the prince hated by the court and Ji Chuan seems insignificant.

There is no need to worry about too many lice. Even if this incident had not happened, those people would not tolerate their prince.

The prince dared to ask him to obey the princess, which showed that the prince had a plan in mind.

Qiao Xi didn't know about Lou Xin's mysterious confidence in Su Heting. After telling Lou Xin some things, she went to Xu An's mansion.

"Of the 50,000 troops in Liang Province, less than 40,000 remained, with 10,000 of them fleeing to southern Xinjiang."

Xu An still hadn't changed out of his bloody clothes.

He rebelled last night with Bixiang's body.

He announced to the world that after meeting Bixiang again, he learned that her stepmother and stepsister were not missing, but had hooked up with the emperor.

In order to cover up his shameless act of stealing his minister's wife, the emperor ordered the governor and the provincial governor to murder his father.

As a son, I must avenge my father's murder.

His father had served as the governor of Liangzhou for many years and was deeply loved by the people. Many of his old subordinates were willing to follow him after learning the truth.

But there were also people who did not obey Xu An and wanted to take the opportunity to stand up and compete with him. Xu An had to kill some of them to intimidate them.

His brows were serious, "Ji Chuan will soon know what's happening here, and he may send troops to Liangzhou in a few days.

It's difficult to defend Liangzhou with just us. Do you have any countermeasures?"

He looked at the woman whose expression was always calm, as if no matter how big the matter was, it was not worth mentioning in her eyes.

During the riot last night, he had witnessed her calm expression, yet her brutality and decisiveness in twisting off a head with one hand.

Xu An subconsciously felt that she would have a plan to deal with it.

As expected, Qiao Xi slowly said, "The ones who followed me into the city last night were from the Xinjiang North Army."

"Are you from the King of Northern Xinjiang?"

Qiao Xi shook her head, "They will all be my people from now on, and Liangzhou will also be ours."

The five thousand soldiers were the betrothal gift Su Heting gave her, so they were hers.

"But to the outside world, they are still the King of Northern Xinjiang's men.

Because your father was murdered, you were distraught with your superiors and the emperor, and you couldn't bear to see the people of northern Xinjiang suffer from water shortages, so you took the initiative to welcome the northern Xinjiang army into the city to dig canals and bring water."

In this way, Xu An had a reason to rebel.

If we rely on Su Heting, both the emperor and Ji Chuan will have reservations about whether to send troops to Liangzhou.

After all, Su Heting has a bad reputation and is not someone to be trifled with.

As for the fact that Xu Linger was bullied by the emperor, both of them tacitly covered up the fact, which made Xu An feel a little favorable towards Qiao Xi.

"Who are you anyway?"

He can know what is happening in the palace, let Bixiang follow him, and mobilize the Xinjiang Northern Army.

Xu An suddenly remembered the rumors from a few days ago that the King of Xinjiang North had kidnapped Princess Chaoyang who was seeking medical treatment outside.

He suspected that the person in front of him was Princess Chaoyang.

But he wasn't sure.

How could Princess Chaoyang, who was raised in the deep palace, have such skills? Moreover, everyone in the world knows that Princess Chaoyang and the emperor have a deep relationship.

Just as he was hesitating, Qiao Xi pulled down her veil.

She said, "My last name is Qiao. My family has been guarding the northern border for generations. One hundred and thirty-one members of my family have all died on the battlefield."

"you……"

You really are Princess Chaoyang.

Xu An's eyes widened.

There are 133 people in the Qiao family. Excluding Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Xi who went to the capital, there are a total of 131 people in the Qiao family.

But, the emperor treated Princess Chaoyang well, so why did she...

Qiao Xi saw the doubt in his heart and said, "The Qiao family died because of the emperor's frame-up, and the prince never killed his father."

Xu An thought about the things happening in his own family and instantly understood the conspiracy. The emperor's kindness to Princess Chaoyang was an illusion.

Just like Cao Ying's treatment of their family, it was all false exploitation.

Cao Ying fell in love with the emperor at first sight when he was traveling incognito. After they had an affair, they had a daughter. She then fled the sect with her daughter and went out to look for the emperor.

But he used the Xu family as a springboard.

"The Qiao family is loyal to the country, and the prince is kind and virtuous. If what you said is true, the dog emperor murdered loyal ministers and killed his own son. He is indeed unworthy of being a king. But if you just want revenge, it will be difficult."

Qiao Xi looked at him with a resolute look in her eyes, "With such a deep blood feud, I dare not retreat even if my body is broken into pieces."

Xu An looked at her for a long time and made up his mind, "Okay, I, Xu An, will follow you on this road."

Qiao Xi is a woman who would disregard life and death for revenge. How could Xu An, a man, be so afraid of death and ignore the revenge for his father and sister?

What's more, the Qiao family had been kind to my father.

"Xu An, I promise you on the basis of the Qiao family's integrity that I will bring your sister back to you as soon as possible."

Qiao Xi promised.

"But, can you return the jade cicada to me?"

Upon hearing this, Xu An suddenly remembered that this jade cicada was a token of love given to his sister by the Qiao family when his sister and elder brother Qiao Xi got engaged.

Later, all members of the Qiao family died in battle, and the Qiao family mansion was burned down by the barbarians. Qiao Xi is now asking for it back, probably just to keep a souvenir.

The eldest brother of the Qiao family is dead, and the sister is also...

"This originally belonged to the Qiao family. I believe my sister will understand."

Xu An returned the jade cicada to Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi held Yuchan tightly.

After Cao Ying captured Xu Ling'er, he hung the jade cicada around his daughter's neck.

In her previous life, after Xu Ling'er was tortured to death by Bixiang, Bixiang disliked the jade cicada because it was unlucky and wanted to pick it off, but was scolded by Cao Ying. It was when she accidentally overheard the conversation between the mother and daughter that she learned that Xu An had been deceived.

But she didn't know what was so special about the jade cicada. But since Cao Ying valued it and it was an heirloom of her Qiao family, she thought there must be something fishy about it...

After leaving Xu's house, when Qiao Xi returned to the inn, she saw Su Heting lying on the bed.

"Why is the prince here?"

Su Heting glanced at her and said, "If I hadn't come, you wouldn't have known that the princess had made me take such a big blame."

Qiao Xi pursed her lips and said, "I've asked Lou Xin to start the water supply issue."

She borrowed his power and returned it with water.

“If Liangzhou is recaptured by Ji Chuan, the water supply will certainly be cut off, and then northern Xinjiang will be short of water again.

Therefore, what the prince is protecting is not Liangzhou, but the vitality of northern Xinjiang."

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouths."

Su Heting stood up and pulled the person into his arms. "I just realized today that the princess is so calculating. Tell me, how did you scheme to use Xu An for your own benefit?"

Xu An is a loyal person, which is why the emperor and Ji Chuan are willing to let him take charge of the military forces. Such a person is not likely to betray easily.

Qiao Xi lowered her eyes.

Xu Ling'er alone could not make Xu An truly follow her. She took advantage of Xu An's sense of justice, his admiration for the Qiao family, and the Qiao family's kindness to the Xu family.

The man's hot breath made Qiao Xi uncomfortable. She turned her head away and briefly told him about Xu Ling'er.

Su Heting saw her crow-feather eyelashes fluttering, and knew she was hiding something. "What else?"

Qiao Xi prevaricated, "Xu An cares a lot about his sister."

She understood Xu An, but couldn't see through Su Heting.

She had not yet obtained any evidence regarding the murder of the Qiao family and the prince, so she dared to tell Xu An, but she did not dare to reveal a single word to Su Heting.

Su Heting looked at her deeply and suddenly asked, "Did you have a crush on someone in the past?"
