Shocking! The killer traveled through time and space and became a female Shura, killing like crazy

Royal Palace

Xiao Qi walked into the hall with hurried steps, "Your Majesty, Qu Yi's family secretly left the city a month ago and their whereabouts are still unknown."

"It seems they are well prepared."

The emperor's eyes were cold as he ordered, "Send someone to investigate who they are usually close to. I want to see which minister in my court is so bold as to betray my own country and harm my son and brothers. If I find out, I will exterminate his entire clan."

The next day, the emperor sat on the magnificent dragon throne in the hall, his face serious and indifferent. His sharp eyes swept over the ministers and a low voice came.

"Northern Yan has repeatedly harassed the people along the border of Great Qi, challenging my patience. This is intolerable. How can I allow others to trample upon my kingdom?"

The Emperor slammed the throne in anger, then stood up and said with great righteousness, "The battle for Youzhou has already begun, and Prince Mu is gravely injured at this very moment, leaving the army leaderless. Which general can you recommend to take the commanding position and quell the rebellion in Youzhou?"

There was silence in the court.

The ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to speak easily.

"What? Are all the ministers in our dynasty afraid of death?"

The emperor's expression grew even darker, and he glared at the ministers with a glare like a knife, angrily scolding them: "I raise soldiers for a thousand days and deploy them for a moment. What's the point of raising you?"

The eldest prince Shangguan Jue glanced at Censor He, and he shook his head gently at the eldest prince, signaling him not to be impulsive and to wait and see.

"Emperor calm down!"

At this time, General Gu stood up and said, "I, your old minister, am willing to put on my armor and go into battle to quell the rebellion in Youzhou!"

The Emperor looked at General Gu and said with relief, "General Gu, a veteran of two dynasties, how could I possibly send you to a battlefield in such inclement weather again? It would only make the people think I'm ruthless, and North Yan think we have no generals left, allowing us to trample on our territory at will."

"Your Majesty is right."

The Emperor glanced at the ministers and said, "Are you not even as good as the aged General Gu? I feel sad that such a great nation as the Great Qi cannot find a general of such caliber."

The eldest prince walked to the center of the hall and said with righteous indignation, "Father, I am willing to go to Youzhou to quell the war in Northern Yan."

"Well, my prince is great."

When Prime Minister Huo saw that the eldest prince had stood up, he thought that how could he make wedding clothes for others if he planned everything. The prince went to the Youzhou military camp to gain a firm foothold and had an army of 100,000, so he had any say.

With the power of 100,000 soldiers and his own strategies, there is no need to worry about not being able to ascend to the throne. The crown prince's enthronement is the first step in his plan. His ambition is not as simple as submitting.

He looked at Lord Xuan who was beside him and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been away for over a year. You can order him to go to Youzhou to make amends."

"The Crown Prince is the heir to our dynasty. He has a certain deterrent power and is more than enough to deal with the Second Prince of Northern Yan. Your Majesty, please give the Crown Prince a chance."

The emperor stared at Lord Xuan with his deep eyes in silence, feeling frightened at the sight of him.

"Who else thinks the Crown Prince is suitable to go to Youzhou to quell the war?"

Ministers who supported the prince came forward to second the motion.

"I also second the proposal..."

Prime Minister Huo observed the emperor's expression. The emperor was calm and showed no expression, which made Prime Minister Huo feel uneasy.

The emperor saw that many ministers supported the prince to quell the war, and he looked at the ministers with a calm expression.

The hall was silent as those who supported the Crown Prince and the First Prince held their breath, waiting for the Emperor's order.

The Emperor was silent for a moment, then said solemnly and coldly, "My two sons are both outstanding men, but Youzhou not only has Prince Mu, but also the Third Prince, and many generals with distinguished military achievements. I believe they can resist the invading enemy."

One of the ministers said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince is still young and has no experience leading troops in battle."

"Experience is accumulated slowly. Do the eldest prince and the crown prince have experience in leading troops in battle?"

The two factions who were full of confidence just now were suddenly speechless by the emperor. Prime Minister Huo was even more angry and unwilling. How could he be willing to see the 100,000 troops he had obtained disappear without a trace?

The eldest prince was also very angry. His father doted on him on the surface, but never gave him the opportunity to have real power.

After the court session, the emperor returned to his bedroom, "Leng Ying..."

"My subordinate is here."

"Send someone to keep a close eye on Prime Minister Huo, Censor He, and the Crown Prince's every move. Report any movement immediately."

"I obey your orders."

The Emperor was furious and said, "Prime Minister Huo, I just tested you a little and you couldn't wait to let the Crown Prince return to the palace to command a hundred thousand soldiers. Your ambition is obvious to everyone. Do you think I don't know?"

"I can turn a blind eye and let you sit on the position of Prime Minister, but I will never allow you to aspire to more, otherwise you will be courting death."

"If this incident involving Lao Jiu has anything to do with you, I will never show mercy to anyone. You'd better take care of yourself!"

Prime Minister Huo returned to his residence, furious and roaring, "We were only one step away from victory, and yet the Emperor allowed a young, inexperienced brat to command a hundred thousand troops."

"No, not 100,000 troops. Adding the 100,000 troops supported by General Hong, a total of 200,000 troops must be in my hands. Only then will I have the confidence and chances of victory."

"Li Zheng, tell Qu Yi that the Third Prince was killed by an arrow through the heart by a Northern Yan soldier during the battle. He and Prince Mu will not be spared."

"I obey my orders."

After receiving the order, Li Zheng quickly left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

On the other side, Leng Ying also conveyed the emperor's order. Although the capital seemed calm, there were actually undercurrents.
