Yun Hao snorted coldly, took out his pistol and blew his head off.

Seeing the fallen city guard leader, Yun Hao nodded with satisfaction. His aim was also very good, although not as good as the prince's.

Long Shang rolled his eyes at him. They were so close, if he couldn’t hit her again, all his Yue’er’s kindness would be in vain.

Thinking of his Yue'er, Long Shang felt a little annoyed.

He hadn't received a letter from his daughter Yue'er yet. He wondered if she was in danger in the capital. He had to speed up his pace!

Then, Long Shang said coldly: "Prince Xiang planned to rebel and has been executed on the spot by me. You all put down your weapons immediately. I will spare your lives, otherwise I will kill you without mercy.

The soldiers were already terrified when they saw their leader dead. Now, hearing that even the Prince of Xiang was dead, they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Highness Prince Jing, please spare my life! Please, Your Highness, spare my life!"

Long Shang ordered in a cold voice: "Open the city gate now and let General Tang enter the city."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers guarding the city hurried down the city wall to open the city gate. Long Shang and Yun Hao also went down the city wall to meet up with Tang Wenqing and others.

Tang Wenjin and his men stayed behind to defend the city gate, while Long Shang and Tang Wenqing led a group of people to rush directly into the Prince of Xiang's Mansion and surrounded it.

Because the death of Prince Xiang was sudden, the people in Prince Xiang's mansion were still in a daze and had no time to escape before they were captured. Even the staff and Prince Xiang's one-eared deputy general did not escape. However, the princess of Western Shu and her maid were not found in Prince Xiang's mansion.

Long Shang sent a small team to search Yizhou City, and then interrogated the deputy general and those staff members overnight, and learned that they were planning to take action on the Queen Mother's birthday.

Long Shang guessed that even if Long Fu learned that Prince Xiang was killed, he would continue to rebel. After all, even without Prince Xiang's help, he still had the central army in the capital to back him up. This time, with the cooperation of Western Shu, it would be his last hope.

However, he still doesn't understand who is helping whom between him and the King of Xiang?

However, now is not the time for him to think about these things.

If what the princess of Western Shu said was true, then Western Shu had an army of 300,000 heading towards Youzhou, while Youzhou had a total army of only 200,000, and he brought 50,000 of them.

Although Yizhou had an army of 100,000, he could not trust all of them at this time.

As a result, Long Shang completely defeated Yizhou's 100,000-strong army.

He took 50,000 troops to Youzhou to help Yue'er's uncle, and left 30,000 of the remaining 50,000 in Yizhou. Tang Wenqing took 20,000 to Beijing. Of the 50,000 troops they brought, Tang Wenqing took 30,000, and Tang Wenjin took the remaining 20,000 to guard Yizhou with the 30,000 troops left in Yizhou.

After the distribution was completed, it was already dawn. He asked Tang Wenqing to take his men to rest in Yizhou for a day before setting off back to Beijing, while he and Yun Hao led their men to Youzhou without stopping.

At this time, people in the capital did not know the news of Prince Xiang's death and were busy preparing for the Queen Mother's birthday.

However, there are exceptions.

After the last incident in the restaurant, Gu Lingyue converted the restaurant into a hot pot restaurant. The business was very popular at the beginning, which attracted many people to follow suit. However, they could not make the taste of her hot pot restaurant, they were just imitating others.

But recently, because there has been little rain and the weather has been hot in Tianqi, not many people eat hot pot anymore.

The shopkeeper reported the situation to Gu Lingyue anxiously, and she planned to go inside the store to take a look.

But because Emperor Tianqi punished her to copy Buddhist scriptures, she could not leave the palace until she finished copying them. She had no choice but to disguise herself and Yun Jin, and then the two of them slipped out of Prince Jing's Mansion.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Gu Lingyue found that there were indeed fewer people in the restaurant than before. She pretended to be a customer and asked a few questions casually, wanting to know whether the hot pot was not tasty or for some other reason.

As expected, the answer she got was exactly what she thought.

The guests said that it was because the weather was too hot. Firstly, no one wanted to go out, and secondly, eating hot pot would make them get a sore throat. They were really craving for it, but they couldn’t make the same flavor at home, so they came out.

After knowing the answer, Gu Lingyue and Yun Jin went to a few more houses and found that there were even fewer people there. She had an idea in her mind.

She can make popsicles and fruit popsicles and sell them!

There was no electricity or refrigerators in ancient times, so ice was very expensive in the summer. However, there was a cold storage in my space, so the thing I had the most was ice.

After coming up with an idea, Gu Lingyue planned to go to the vegetable market to see what fruits were available, and ask about the prices to see how much she should sell them for.

Arriving at the vegetable market, Gu Lingyue took a look around.

Although there are not many varieties of fruits nowadays, they are enough for making fruit salad, but some fruits are very expensive.

However, the fruit salad she made was originally sold to rich people, so the popsicles could be sold at a lower price.

After the inspection, Gu Lingyue bought two fish to make boiled fish.

At this moment, Yun Jin fixed his gaze on one place and muttered softly, "Yingying?"

Gu Lingyue followed Yun Jin's gaze and saw that there was indeed a little girl walking towards them not far away.

She was small, with messy hair and a dirty face. She was carrying a large basket and looking at the vegetable stalls on both sides of the road as she walked.

Gu Lingyue also recognized that the little girl was indeed Wei Yingying.

She frowned.

She knew that Uncle Wang had someone send living expenses to the mother and daughter, because she was in charge of the financial power of Prince Jing's Mansion.

Although they didn't live as comfortably as they did in Prince Jing's Mansion, with one hundred taels of silver a month, they were definitely living well. Also, she remembered that Long Shang sent someone to accompany them, so how could they have fallen to the point where they had to ask a child like Wei Yingying to buy groceries?

"Let's go and take a look?"

Gu Lingyue and Yun Jin walked over to Wei Yingying, who was squatting in front of a cabbage vendor, talking to him.

She seemed to be very familiar with the man and obviously came here often.

"Yingying?" Gu Lingyue called out.

Hearing the voice she had been thinking about, Wei Yingying happily stood up and turned around.

When she saw two unfamiliar faces in front of her, her smile froze and she asked timidly, "Sister, I don't know you. How do you know my name?"

Gu Lingyue then remembered that she and Yun Jin were wearing makeup.

Gu Lingyue squatted down and said with a smile: "Yingying, have you forgotten Sister Yue?"

Hearing Gu Lingyue's voice again, Wei Yingying knew that she had not heard wrongly. The person in front of her was the Sister Yue she had been thinking about.

"Sister Yue, your face?" Wei Yingying opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"I have makeup on my face. If you like it, Yingying, I'll put some makeup on for you later." Gu Lingyue explained with a smile.

Wei Yingying nodded happily.

"Why are you here alone? Where is your mother? And where are the maids who serve you?" Gu Lingyue asked her doubts.

"Xiao Hong was sold out by my mother. My mother..." At this point, Wei Yingying lowered her head, paused for a moment, and said in a low voice, "My mother is at home."

Gu Lingyue knew there must be something hidden, but seeing that Wei Yingying didn't want to say it, she looked at Yun Jin, who shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Gu Lingyue didn't ask any more questions, but said, "What kind of vegetables do you want to buy? Sister Yue will buy them for you and send you home, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yingying quickly shook her head and said, "Thank you, Sister Yue. I can do it myself."

Wei Yingying sighed in her heart. It was not that she didn't want Sister Yue to send her home, but her mother didn't want to see Sister Yue the most, and she didn't want to make things difficult for Sister Yue.

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingyue had no choice but to accompany Wei Yingying to finish shopping and watch her leave.

Although Wei Yingying said that she didn't need to accompany her, she was a child after all, so Gu Lingyue was still worried about letting her go back alone, so she followed her not far behind.

The courtyard that Long Shang arranged for them to live in had three entrances.

When Wei Yingying entered the yard, Gu Lingyue did not leave immediately. She wanted to see what had happened. Why would the Wei family let a child go out to buy vegetables?

Gu Lingyue and Yun Jin flew directly to the roof of one of the houses and found a suitable position to keep an eye on the movements in the yard.

Wei Yingying came back carrying a basket of vegetables and walked to the gate of a courtyard, where a person dressed as a maid was standing.

Gu Lingyue and Yun Jin both recognized this person. She was Wei's personal maid when she was in the palace.

The two of them exchanged a few words, and Wei Yingying glanced toward the yard before going to the kitchen with a disappointed look on her face.

Gu Lingyue frowned, wanting to see what was in the room that made Wei Yingying look disappointed.

At this moment, she saw Wei's maid running away at the gate of the yard, holding her stomach.

So the two of them went straight to the window in the yard, and a discordant voice came from the room.

Yun Jin's face suddenly turned red, and she looked angry, and quickly left the window.

Gu Lingyue also heard the discordant sounds coming from the house.

She now understood why Wei's maid didn't let Wei Yingying enter the yard. It turned out that Wei was fooling around with a strange man in the house in broad daylight, and they sent her out to prevent Wei Yingying from disturbing her.

She wanted to confirm whether her guess was correct, so she poked a hole in the window paper and looked inside.

Inside the room, I saw a naked man and a naked woman performing the most primitive actions, with messy clothes all over the bed and floor.

She didn't see the man's appearance clearly, but the woman was indeed Wei.

At this time, Wei Yingying's voice was heard outside the yard, "Mom, Yingying is coming in."

As soon as Wei Yingying's voice fell, Gu Lingyue turned her head to look towards the door. She subconsciously didn't want Wei Yingying to see what was happening in the room.

At this time, the sounds of people dressing and talking could be heard sporadically from the room.

"It's such a bummer! Can't you get her out of the way?" The man complained, sounding unhappy.

"I have already told Lushui to take Yingying out to buy groceries, but who knew they would come back so soon today." Wei said annoyedly.

"Your daughter is five years old, right?" At this time, a man's obscene laughter was heard.

"I told you not to set your sights on my daughter. I'm counting on her to ask Prince Jing for money." Wei said unhappily.

"I know, I know. It's just a comment, why bother?"

Gu Lingyue's face turned cold when she heard this.

At this time, the door of the yard was pushed open. She frowned, and hid with Yun Jin before Wei Yingying came in.

Wei Yingying walked straight towards the door.

At the same time, the door was pushed open and a man with a pointed chin and monkey face walked out.

At this time, Wei Yingying had already washed her little face clean, revealing a small face the size of a palm, with delicate features and looking very cute.

Seeing Wei Yingying's appearance clearly, the man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks was stunned, and then his eyes turned into greed.

"Tsk tsk, this girl is so beautiful! No wonder Prince Jing is willing to spend money to support you." As he said that, the man reached out and wanted to touch Wei Yingying's delicate and smooth skin.

"court death!"

"Ah!" The man was kicked out before his hand touched Wei Yingying, and at this time Wei Yingying was already in Gu Lingyue's arms.

She was trembling all over like a frightened little rabbit. When she saw clearly that the person holding her was Gu Lingyue, she was so scared that she hugged Gu Lingyue's neck and cried out "Wow~".

Yun Jin was furious when she saw this. Before the man could get up, she stepped forward and kicked him in the head with all her strength. The man quickly put his hands on his head and yelled angrily, "Who are you? How dare you hit me? Do you know who I belong to? I'm from Prince Jing's Mansion..."

When the man said this, Yun Jin hit him even harder.

"You dare to pretend to be someone from Prince Jing's Mansion? You deserve to die!" Yun Jin said viciously, but Gu Lingyue freed one hand to block Wei Yingying's eyes.

Wei, who hadn't put on her clothes yet, heard the noise outside and rushed out while tying her clothes. "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

When she saw two strange women coming into the yard, one holding her daughter and the other kicking her lover hard, she was stunned and only came to her senses after Yun Jin stopped hitting them.

At this time, the man had been beaten into a pig-like shape and was lying on the ground screaming.

Gu Lingyue looked at Wei with cold eyes, which frightened her so much that she knelt down.

"Female...female warrior, who are you? What do you want? As long as you can release my daughter, you can ask for anything.

Really, my daughter's eldest father is Prince Jing. As long as you don't hurt her, he will definitely agree to your conditions."

Yun Jin gritted his teeth in anger when he heard her words.

How could Wei Xin marry such a woman? It's such a disgrace to him.

"Heh!" Gu Lingyue was so angry that she laughed. She didn't expect Wei to be so shameless.

Not only did her wild man take advantage of the power of Prince Jing's Mansion, but she also pushed Long Shang out whenever something happened. Such a person thought that if she became a widow and she was Long Shang's concubine, she would stay in Prince Jing's Mansion as long as she didn't make trouble.

It would be strange if such a person did not cause trouble.

Gu Lingyue didn't want to waste time talking to her, so she just lowered her voice and started cursing.

"As a mother, you actually let your little daughter go out to buy groceries just to have sex with a wild man, and you even let this wild man bully your daughter. Are you still a human being?"

Originally, she had even dirtier words to curse, such as you are worse than pigs and dogs, and asking you to be an animal is an insult to animals. Even animals know how to protect their own cubs, but you abandoned her for the sake of momentary pleasure, etc.
