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

The Northern Yan delegation traveled all the way and finally arrived at the outskirts of the capital.

The four hundred guards sent by Jingyu also returned one after another, bringing shocking news: "Your Majesty, the person who developed that powerful weapon was none other than Princess Furong, personally appointed by the Emperor of Daqi."

"She is in the capital now. The Emperor of Daqi has granted her a marriage to Prince Mu. She will be the future Princess Mu."

This news was like a huge rock thrown into a lake, causing a thousand waves.

The Third Prince, Rong Zhang, asked uncertainly, "Is it possible that the person who developed such a powerful weapon was a woman?"

"Replying to the Third Prince, it is indeed a woman, and she is a teenage girl. Last year, a batch of cotton-padded clothes and trousers were sent to the Youzhou military camp for free, and she also spent the New Year in the military camp."

Jing Yu gnashed his teeth in anger when he thought of Shen Rou. He said coldly, "I remember that woman rescued King Qi Mu from the master and injured the master. Thinking of this, I wish I could tear her into pieces."

Third Prince Rong Zhang's eyes were sinister and vicious. "Is this information reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable. She runs a breakfast shop and a noodle factory in Yunzhou, both of which are her family's livelihoods. Her sister is the last disciple of Ye Gucheng, the number one divine doctor in Da Qi. Recently, she has developed a surgery that can save women in difficult labor. It has spread throughout Yunzhou, and the people of Yunzhou call her the Little Divine Doctor."

"I didn't expect that a girl could develop such a powerful weapon and make money. I want to meet this woman in person."

Jing Yu's eyes revealed a vicious look. "Your Highness, we will keep her family under surveillance. If necessary, we will bring them back to Beiyan and use their lives in exchange for Princess Furong's. If Princess Furong cares about her family, she will definitely be willing to follow us back to Beiyan and serve you. Her sister can also help the people of our dynasty."

"That's a good idea."

"Send someone to keep an eye on Princess Furong's family and wait for my orders."

"I obey my orders."

"Send someone to inform the Emperor of Daqi that the Northern Yan marriage delegation has arrived outside the capital and will enter the city at noon tomorrow."

"I obey my orders."

Rong Zhang said to Jing Yu, "Commander Jing, you will leave the marriage team tomorrow and hide in the capital. Observe Prince Mu's every move. After I have negotiated the marriage with the Emperor of Daqi, we will then launch an ambush and kill Prince Mu to avoid any complications that could lead to major losses."

"Don't worry, my lord. I know what's going on. Send someone to tell me when you need me."

"it is good."

Royal Palace

The emperor took the letter sent by the envoy from Northern Yan, read it, and called Shangguan Yunting and the eldest prince Shangguan Jue.

"Old Nine, take Jue'er to the city gates at noon tomorrow to welcome the Northern Yan envoys. The bride will be escorted by the current Third Prince of Northern Yan, Rong Zhang. He is a ruthless and ambitious man, and harbors resentment towards the newly enthroned Majesty. I suspect he has ulterior motives for coming to the capital this time, and I have dispatched personnel to monitor his every move. If he makes any unusual moves, they will be apprehended immediately."

"My brother obeys the order."

At noon the next day, the Northern Yan marriage delegation entered the capital in a grand procession. The people of the city poured into the streets to watch this grand spectacle.

Shen Rou learned from Shangguan Yunting that the third prince of Northern Yan, Rong Zhang, was ambitious and unwilling to be inferior to others. She also suspected that he had other purposes for coming to the capital, otherwise he would not have traveled thousands of miles to send an unpopular sister to marry.

She took Su Mo and Su Xi to stand on the second floor of the inn and carefully observed Rong Zhang, who was riding a tall horse in the front. His unruly look showed that he was not an easy person to deal with.

She was observing Rong Zhang carefully, and among the crowd of onlookers there was a pair of sharp eyes carefully observing her every move.

Jingyu first looked at Shangguan Yunting riding on a tall horse with hatred, and then locked his eyes on Shen Rou.

Seeing her plain yet elegant appearance, he glared at her viciously, "In the barracks, you look like a female general in uniform, and you're a charming young lady without it. It's your harmless appearance that's harming the master. Just wait, I'll let you live a few more days."

Shen Rou was very alert and suddenly felt that someone was staring at her. She quickly searched for those eyes in the crowd, but there were too many onlookers and she couldn't find them at all.

She quickly asked: "Su Mo, Su Xi, did you see anyone in the crowd staring at me?"

"No, what's wrong, Princess?"

"I just clearly felt a pair of eyes staring at me, but there were too many people below, and I looked around but didn't find anything."

"Princess, you watch here, we will go to the two sides to observe."

"Even if you find him, don't alert him. Follow him and see where he goes."

"Yes."

Jing Yu saw Shen Rou's eyes searching for her target in the crowd. He immediately understood that Shen Rou had noticed someone was looking at her and instantly shifted her gaze elsewhere.

I didn't expect her to be so vigilant. I have to be more careful when monitoring her in the future to avoid being discovered and causing trouble.

At this time, Shangguan Yunting and the eldest prince Shangguan Jue were receiving the marriage delegation under the order of the emperor. He was riding on a tall horse, looking heroic, and the girls watching were eager to try.

Shangguan Yunting saw Rong Zhang coming and hurriedly dismounted with the eldest prince. He came before him and said, "This prince and the eldest prince are here to welcome the Northern Yan envoys on the orders of the Emperor of Great Qi. Your Highness, Third Prince, you have traveled all the way here, and you must be thankful for your hard work."

Rong Zhang looked at Shangguan Yunting in front of him, and a feeling of disgust surged in his heart.

"Thank you, Prince Mu, and the Crown Prince, for welcoming us. This prince has admired Prince Mu of Great Qi for his illustrious military achievements since his time in Northern Yan. In the eyes of the people, Prince Mu is a god of war who serves his country and his people, the pride of the Great Qi royal family, and a role model for many of the royal family's children."

Rong Zhang's attempt to sow discord in front of the eldest prince was a ruthless act and also laid the groundwork for the future. As a member of the royal family, he knew that there was no family affection.

He knew very well that if one's achievements surpassed his master's, it would become a weapon to make people afraid of him. Even if the Emperor of Da Qi was convinced that Prince Mu was loyal, when the two countries were stable, the title of God of War would be his fatal title.

Shangguan Yunting's expression instantly darkened, and he said coldly, "Third Prince of Beiyan, please be careful with your words. Daqi is the Emperor's kingdom, and the people are his subjects. As a subject of Daqi, I will protect the borders and prevent those with ulterior motives from escaping. Don't even think of setting foot on a single inch of Daqi's territory."

He sneered and said sarcastically, "Third Prince, don't use your petty mind to steal the belly of a gentleman. Just because you think that doesn't mean everyone else's mind is as filthy as yours. After all, there are differences between humans and animals. What do you think?"

After Shangguan Yunting finished speaking, he and Rong Zhang looked into each other's eyes. There was a silent atmosphere filled with the smell of gunpowder, and both of their eyes revealed viciousness and disdain.

At this moment, the Northern Yan envoy walked up to Shangguan Yunting, saluted, and shouted angrily: "Your Highness Prince Mu, is this how you, the Great Qi, treat your guests? Or do you think you can block the path to peace between Northern Yan and the Great Qi?"

"If that's the case, there's no need for me, Beiyan, to enter the city. I can just turn around and go back to Beiyan."

"I treat people differently. I wouldn't necessarily welcome someone like the Third Prince of Northern Yan, who so blatantly sows discord between me and the Emperor, into the city. After all, only humans can sit down and negotiate, but how can we compare animals to humans?"

"If the Northern Yan envoys want to go back, I will not try to stop them. After all, you Northern Yan are the defeated enemy. It was you who came all the way to my capital to seek peace. Who are you trying to show off to now?"

"Third Prince of Beiyan, what do you think?"

When Rong Zhang heard Shangguan Yunting calling him a beast in public and insulting Beiyan as a defeated general, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and his face became terribly gloomy.

I have been ordered to come here for the marriage, and I still have my own goals to achieve. How can I act rashly and ruin things? Once I get the formula for the weapons, I will make your Great Qi suffer heavy losses and pay Bei Yan several times over.

He suppressed his anger and looked at Shangguan Yunting coldly, "Prince Mu, what are you going to do to me? If you dare to attack me in Da Qi, there will be an endless war between our two countries."

"Third Prince, you're joking. Our Great Qi is a nation of etiquette, and we travel the world with civility and courtesy. When friends come, we have wine to drink, and when hunters come, we have red guns. Third Prince of Beiyan, are you a friend of our Great Qi or a hunter? It's up to you to decide."

"Although Da Qi is a country of etiquette, we will not allow anyone to abuse their power on our territory."

Rong Zhang looked at the unruly Shangguan Yunting and thought to himself that it was no wonder that the second prince was no match for him. He was stubborn and vicious. People like him were the biggest hidden danger of Beiyan. This time he must be eliminated as soon as possible to avoid future troubles.

"I am here on the orders of His Majesty the Northern Yan, to marry into the alliance. Prince Mu, tell me whether I am a friend or a hunter. After all, I am here for the peace and stability of the people of both countries."

Shangguan Yunting sneered inwardly when he saw this. Rong Zhang was a formidable figure who could bend and stretch himself. The new emperor of Northern Yan might not be his opponent. If he ascended the throne, it would be the beginning of a bloody conflict between the two countries.

He can still hold back even after talking so much, which shows how cunning he is.

"Since this is for the common people of both countries to live and work in peace and contentment, we are naturally friends. Third Prince, you have been exhausted from the journey. This prince and the eldest prince will escort the Northern Yan envoys to the post station to rest. When the Emperor of Great Qi is free, he will summon you to the palace for negotiations."

"Thank you, Prince Mu and the First Prince."

The eldest prince Shangguan Jue listened to their conversation and secretly tried to guess what they meant. He heard from the Third Prince of Beiyan that the Ninth Prince had a great influence among the people. He wondered if this would affect his own bright future.

He holds military power and has appeal among the people. If he were to show compassion and his father has complete faith in him, the throne of the Great Qi would be shaky, which is worrying.

But he was respectful to Shangguan Yunting on the surface. After all, Shangguan Yunting was now deeply trusted by his father. If he could get his support, the position of crown prince would be within his grasp.

The Sixth Princess, sitting in the carriage, looked at Shangguan Yunting's handsome face through the curtain and smiled faintly.

She had heard in Beiyan that the famous King Mu of Daqi was both civil and military, brave and resourceful. Now that she had seen him in person, she found that he was even more heroic than everyone had said, which made her blush and her heart beat faster.

The most important thing is that the Third Prince ordered her to choose him as her husband. She is also satisfied to marry such a capable man.

After they escorted the Northern Yan envoys to the post station, Shangguan Yunting instructed He Lingfeng, the commander of the Imperial Guards, "Commander He, the safety of the Northern Yan envoys at the post station is entirely your responsibility. You must ensure their safety. After all, this is a matter of paramount importance to both countries. We must not take it lightly and make any mistakes."

"I humble my duty and obey my orders."

The eldest prince looked at Shangguan Yunting with admiration and said, "Ninth Uncle, you were very tough just now. I really learned a lot from you."

Shangguan Yunting looked at Shangguan Jue and smiled faintly, saying, "Grand Prince, we cannot lose in the game of momentum between the two countries. This is also for the sake of our Great Qi's reputation, and it also paves the way for future negotiations."

"Ninth Uncle, you are absolutely right. I am grateful for your advice."

"Let's go to the palace and report to our father!"

"Walk."

The two entered the palace and explained to the Emperor what had just happened at the city gate. The Emperor's face darkened immediately after hearing this. "The Third Prince of Beiyan has no good intentions. He has come here with the intention of provoking others. We must keep a close watch on him while he is in Beijing. We must not let his scheme succeed."

"Brother Chen understands."

Shangguan Yunting and the eldest prince left, and the emperor hurriedly shouted: "Leng Ying..."

Leng Ying knelt down instantly, "I'm here."

"Send someone to monitor the Third Prince of Northern Yan's every move. We must determine his purpose and intention."

"I obey your orders."

The eldest prince and Shangguan Yunting left the palace and walked in different directions. Shangguan Jue looked at his receding back, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes.

After returning home, Shangguan Jue summoned his adviser Qin Jiang to discuss the matter.

After listening to the Great Emperor's explanation, Qin Jiang said softly, "Great Prince, Prince Mu is currently in the limelight and has the Emperor's trust. If you can get his help, the position of Crown Prince will be within your grasp. However, he has a closer relationship with the Third Prince, and the court will tend to favor the Third Prince."

"If he can't be of use to you, he'll be a stumbling block on your path forward. You must get rid of him as soon as possible."

Shangguan Jue frowned: "He is deeply trusted by my father, and this prince cannot touch him."

Qin Jiang leaned in and whispered, "We don't need to do anything. We can use the knife of the Third Prince of Beiyan to kill him. How could the Third Prince of Beiyan be so humiliated by Prince Mu in public and swallow this bitter pill?"

"The Third Prince appears to be submissive to the new Emperor of Northern Yan, but in reality, he harbors hidden ambitions. If he can secretly eliminate Prince Mu, we can secretly assist him and allow him to seize the throne of His Majesty Northern Yan. This will also help you in your future bid for the throne."

Shangguan Jue's eyes lit up: "This is a very good plan."

"After the death of the Ninth Prince, there was almost no one in the entire royal family who could compete with this prince. The Huo family was gone, the Queen was sent to the cold palace, and after the Second Prince was deposed as Crown Prince, my father showed no regard for him. If it weren't for his royal blood, my father would have definitely stripped him of his status as a prince."

"Without the Ninth Prince's support, the Third Prince has nothing. His grandfather, Ruan Hongxin, is just a lowly fourth-rank civil servant and can't help him at all. His attempt to resist this prince is undoubtedly a futile attempt."

"The Fourth and Fifth Princes are still children, and they are unassisted princes. They pose no threat to me. From now on, no one in the entire Daqi Imperial Family will be able to compare with me, let alone compete for the position of Crown Prince and the throne."

Qin Jiang clasped his hands together and saluted, saying, "I congratulate the Crown Prince in advance on his bright future."

The eldest prince was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. After a pause, he said, "Now, let's first deal with the stumbling block of the Ninth Prince."

"But the Third Prince of Northern Yan is now under the full protection of the Imperial Guards at the post station. Father will certainly send people to monitor every move of the post station. It will be difficult to reach an agreement with him."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I can send someone from the post station to take action. I will never let the emperor's men find out."

"I can rest assured that you will handle this matter with me, sir."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness."

Second Prince's Mansion

The second prince sat in the study, gazing into the distance in deep thought.

Ever since the Huo family got into trouble, the queen was stripped of her title, and he himself was taken away from the position of crown prince by the emperor. He grew up in an instant and lived a cautious life, not showing off his talents, and showing weakness everywhere to win the emperor's sympathy.

He knew very well that although the palace seemed calm, there were actually undercurrents. Especially the eldest prince was eager for success. He retreated to advance, lying in wait, waiting for the opportunity to kill him with one strike, and then he would become the eldest son in name only.

Guard Ye Chen reported every detail of what happened at the city gate to the Second Prince. He pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that the Ninth Prince and the Third Prince of Beiyan have a feud. The Third Prince of Beiyan may not be willing to marry his sister to the Ninth Prince. Besides, he has already been granted a marriage by our father, so it will be difficult for him to marry a princess."

“The eldest prince has already married his principal wife, so it is impossible for Princess Beiyan to marry him as a concubine.

"The princess wants to marry a member of the royal family, and there is no other choice but this prince. It just so happens that this prince also needs her strong background to help me gain a firm foothold in the court."

"Master, wise."

"Send someone to inquire about the Sixth Princess's preferences. This prince wants her to willingly choose to marry me. With Beiyan as her backing, there is no need to worry about my future great cause."

"My subordinates will do it now."

Ever since he was deposed as crown prince, he has been pretending to be weak and harmless in front of others.

But when he returned to the mansion and took off his disguise, he revealed a sinister and ferocious expression that made people shudder and feel creepy.
