I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian
Chapter 40: Rebellion: Breaking the Power Struggle
The Queen's words failed to scare away the jackals. Instead, they were like pouring a basin of water into a frying pan. With a sizzling sound, all forces exploded.
They did not dare to attack the Queen directly, so they turned their attention to the two "alien species", Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong.
These two people have become public enemies. People roll their eyes wherever they go. They are worse off than rats crossing the street. It’s almost as if the words “I am a target” are written on their heads.
In the capital, the once bustling market was as deserted as a ghost town. The air was filled with tension, making it hard to breathe.
Even the queen hid in her bedroom and sighed. This life was more depressing than being in prison.
"These old foxes are so shameless!" Wumeng Tianlong was so angry that he jumped up and down. If Zhaoyang Ruyue hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed out and fought with them.
"Uncle can't stand it, but aunt can't!"
Zhaoyang Ruyue was much calmer. While she was cracking some melon seeds, she analyzed the situation: "Why rush? If an enemy comes, we'll fight him. If a flood comes, we'll block it with earth. There's no point in panicking."
At this moment, Agent Nangong appeared silently and handed over a note.
"Are there any unusual movements among General Gongsun's men?" Zhaoyang Ruyue's eyes lit up after reading the note, and a plan came to mind. "Hey, here's our chance!"
Thus, a "rebellion drama" began quietly.
Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong disguised themselves as sorcerers and sneaked into General Gongsun's sphere of influence, starting their "deception" plan.
"General, I see that your forehead is black, and you might be in danger of a bloody disaster!" Zhaoyang Ruyue pretended to be mysterious and shook the tortoise shell in his hand.
"Oh? Sir, do you have a way to crack it?" The Eastern Warrior had a serious look on his face and believed in this kind of mysterious thing.
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. Only if the general abandons the dark and joins the light can we avoid danger." Wumeng Tianlong added in a pretentious manner.
"Abandon the dark and join the light? What do you mean?" The Eastern Warrior stared at them warily.
Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
At the same time, Simon Counselor was standing on a high platform, overlooking the entire capital, his brows slightly furrowed... "Something is wrong..." he muttered in a low voice.
Simon Counsel is indeed an old fox, with a sense of smell as keen as a hound.
He always felt that the atmosphere in the city was not right recently. He couldn't tell what was wrong, but it was an inexplicable feeling of unease, as if countless ants were crawling around in his heart, making him feel itchy and uncomfortable.
He strengthened patrols at General Gongsun's mansion, and not even a fly could fly in, let alone the two "jianghu magicians" Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong.
This made Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong very worried.
The well-planned "trick plan" has now all gone to waste.
They were like two headless flies, wandering around the city but unable to find an opportunity to strike.
"This old guy must have a dog nose!" Wumeng Tianlong scratched his hair irritably, feeling that he was going bald.
"How can we play this?"
"Don't panic, stay calm, we can win!" Zhaoyang Ruyue remained calm, as if everything was under her control.
Although she was as anxious as an ant on the hot pan, she appeared to be unmoved even when faced with a collapse of Mount Tai.
In order to avoid patrolling soldiers, they had to change their hiding places frequently, sometimes hiding in the alleys, sometimes hiding on the roof, just like two monkeys jumping up and down.
While avoiding a patrol, Wumeng Tianlong accidentally knocked off a tile, making a crisp "pop" sound.
"Shh! Be careful!" Zhaoyang Ruyue covered his mouth with her hand and looked around nervously.
Fortunately, the patrolling soldiers did not discover them.
The two hid in the shadows, not daring to breathe.
Wumeng Tianlong looked at Zhaoyang Ruyue who was so close to him. There was a little dust on her face, but it could not hide her beauty at all.
He gently brushed the dust off her face and gently helped her tidy up her hair that was messed up by the wind.
Zhaoyang Ruyue was stunned for a moment and looked up at him. Wumeng Tianlong's eyes were full of concern and tenderness, which made her feel extremely at ease.
"Thank you." Zhaoyang Ruyue said softly.
"It is my responsibility to protect you." Wumeng Tianlong's tone was firm and gentle.
After dodging the patrol, Zhaoyang Ruyue suddenly had an idea and came up with a new plan.
"Maybe, we can..." She leaned close to Wumeng Tianlong's ear and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, Wumeng Tianlong's eyes lit up: "Great! Let's do it this way!"
The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of confidence and expectation.
At the same time, the Eastern Warrior was inspecting the mansion. He suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on a corner not far away... "Wait, what's over there?"
The Eastern Warrior is worthy of being General Gongsun's right-hand man. His eyes are as sharp as radar.
He was just on a routine patrol, but he keenly noticed something unusual - at the foot of the city wall, several dark shadows were moving stealthily, as if they were conducting some secret transaction.
He was very familiar with two of the figures, they were the two "magicians"!
"Great, I finally caught you!" The Eastern Warrior was secretly delighted. This was a great opportunity to make a contribution!
He rushed forward like a cheetah, holding a big knife, and roared fiercely, "Catch him!"
Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong were originally talking in a low voice with a close confidant of General Gongsun, who had been somewhat shaken by what they said.
Suddenly, they heard a loud shout, startling both of them. Turning back, they saw the Eastern warrior rushing towards them with a murderous look on his face, holding a large sword. The confidant was so frightened that he ran away, shouting, "Help! Someone is killing me!"
"Damn, this reckless man! He ruined my plan!" Wumeng Tianlong cursed inwardly and quickly pulled Zhaoyang Ruyue to avoid the attack of the Eastern Warrior.
The Eastern Warrior's swordsmanship was sharp and every move was deadly. Although Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong were agile, they found it difficult to defend themselves for a moment.
"Did this guy take a powerful pill? He's so fierce!" Wumeng Tianlong complained while dodging.
Zhaoyang Ruyue calmly observed the Eastern Warrior's attack, looking for his flaws.
She found that although the Eastern warriors were brave, their moves were too simple and crude and lacked variety.
So, while dodging, she guided the direction of the Eastern Warrior's attack, making his attacks miss and draining his physical strength.
Seeing that the Eastern Warriors' offensive was getting more and more fierce, Zhaoyang Ruyue seized the opportunity, pulled out a gold medal from her bosom, and raised it high above her head: "Eastern Warriors, stop! Look at this!"
The gold medal sparkled in the moonlight, and the Eastern Warrior's attack came to an abrupt halt. He took a closer look and found that the pattern on the gold medal was very familiar to him... It was the Queen's seal!
"This...how is this possible?" The Eastern Warrior was stunned, and the sword in his hand stopped in mid-air.
Zhaoyang Ruyue took the opportunity to say, "Eastern warrior, we are here for the peace of the ancient Dian Kingdom. If you persist in your wrongdoings, you are the true traitor!"
The Eastern Warrior looked at the gold medal in Zhaoyang Ruyue's hand, then looked at the figure disappearing in the night in the distance, and his heart began to waver.
He has always been loyal to General Gongsun, but he is more loyal to the ancient Dian Kingdom and the Queen...
"You...what do you want to do?" The Eastern Warrior's voice trembled a little.
Zhaoyang Ruyue smiled slightly, a hint of cunning in her smile. "Eastern Warrior, you are a wise man. You should know what is best for you." She paused, then dropped a bombshell: "General Gongsun's ambitions, do you really think you can hide them from the world? The Queen already knows everything."
The Eastern warrior's heart was shocked, and the hand holding the big knife trembled slightly.
He thought of General Gongsun's recent abnormal behavior and the increasingly strict precautions, and felt vaguely that what Zhaoyang Ruyue said was true.
"You...what evidence do you have?" The Eastern Warrior's voice lacked confidence.
Wumeng Tianlong interrupted at the right time: "Evidence? Haha, do you really think we are playing house? The intelligence we have in our hands is enough to make General Gongsun pay the price!" He deliberately pretended to be confident, as if he held the fatal handle on General Gongsun in his hand.
The Eastern Warrior's heart was even more shaken.
Although he is brave, he is not stupid.
He knew that if he continued to be stubborn, the consequences would be disastrous.
Zhaoyang Ruyue struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade him, "Warrior of the East, abandoning the dark and joining the light is your only way out. You risked your life for General Gongsun, yet in the end, weren't you treated as a discarded pawn by him? Only the Empress can bring you true glory and wealth!"
These words hit the pain points of the Eastern Warriors.
He had worked for General Gongsun for many years, but had never received the recognition he deserved, and had long been resentful.
Now that Zhaoyang Ruyue has shown him a clear path, how can he not be tempted?
After a fierce ideological struggle, the Eastern Warriors finally made up their minds.
He fell to his knees with a thud, clasped his hands together, and said loudly: "Eastern warriors are willing to serve the Queen!"
Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong smiled at each other, secretly happy.
Inciting the Eastern Warriors to rebel is only the first step.
Next, they will have to incite more people to rebel and disintegrate General Gongsun's power.
Under the leadership of the Eastern Warriors, Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong successfully instigated several of General Gongsun's confidants to rebel and obtained key intelligence from them.
This information reveals the inside story of the alliance between various forces and the contradictions between them.
"I see..." Zhaoyang Ruyue looked at the information in her hand, a sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The fun has just begun."
Wumeng Tianlong also showed an excited smile: "Now, we can finally fight back!"
"Shh..." Zhaoyang Ruyue suddenly made a gesture to keep quiet, and signaled Wumeng Tianlong with her eyes to look at a figure walking towards the distance.
"Messenger from Beitang? What is he here for?" Wumeng Tianlong asked in confusion.
The Beitang envoy walked up to the two men with a meaningful smile on his face: "You two, the negotiations are about to begin. Please follow me."
