The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

When Wang Chengen uttered those words, Emperor Liang was stunned for a moment, staring at his chief eunuch with disbelief.

That's how he came up with the idea of ​​using someone else to do his dirty work.

However, no matter what, he was an emperor. How could he let a eunuch say whatever he wanted?

"What, do you want me to bear the name of patricide?"

Emperor Liang's face was terribly gloomy. Upon hearing this, Wang Chengen immediately knelt on the ground, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"This servant only feels that the Ninth Prince should serve the country and help Your Highness solve problems; I have absolutely no other intentions."

As Wang Chengen spoke, his entire body trembled.

Emperor Liang's expression softened slightly; he did indeed need a reason to kill Yang Ling.

Otherwise, with such a rebellious son living in the world, who knows what kind of changes might occur in the future.

"Just do as you say, but don't make your intentions too obvious."

After saying these words, Emperor Liang headed towards his palace.

After Emperor Liang left, Wang Chengen breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed the most dangerous thing to be by the emperor's side.

That evening, Wang Chengen left the palace and went straight to the Crown Prince's residence.

After conveying Emperor Liang's intentions to the Crown Prince, Crown Prince Yang Shan was extremely excited.

"In this way, we can use someone else to do our dirty work. Whether it succeeds or not, Yang Ling will only face death."

Yang Shan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze filled with ruthlessness.

Wang Chengen nodded. The imperial court had also sent troops to attack the barbarian tribes on the border of Liangzhou, but they had all failed to achieve their goals.

Sending the Ninth Prince now, regardless of whether he can win or not, is extremely advantageous for them.

"Send someone to inform those barbarians that whoever beheaded Yang Ling will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households by this Crown Prince."

Yang Shan's voice sounded somewhat cold. Among those foreign states, who wouldn't want to be a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households in the Great Liang Kingdom?

"Your Highness, rest assured, this servant will handle it perfectly."

……

Yang Ling, of course, was unaware of the danger she was about to face.

"Your Highness, the people have been brought here."

A guard appeared in front of Yang Ling, followed by a disheveled man.

Yang Ling frowned when she saw this person. Wasn't this a guard from her elder brother, the Crown Prince's, residence?

These are the people who came to assassinate him a few days ago.

Even now that he's been captured, the other party still looks at him with disdain.

"Your Highness, this lad is very stubborn; he won't say anything no matter how we ask."

The guard was somewhat helpless; he didn't know what had gotten into the kid, he just wouldn't say a word.

Yang Ling waved his hand, signaling the other party to let the assassin come over.

When the assassin arrived in front of Yang Ling, he still looked at Yang Ling with disdain, as if he were looking at an ant.

"You've got some nerve, daring to come to my Xiliang Royal Palace in broad daylight to attempt an assassination. Aren't you afraid your entire family will be wiped out?"

Yang Ling smiled slightly, looking at the person in front of her with amusement.

"Kill me if you want, why waste time arguing?"

The other party simply snorted coldly, looking at Yang Ling with disdain.

This surprised Yang Ling greatly. It seems that her elder brother, the Crown Prince, is quite good at choosing people!

Unfortunately, Yang Ling was not the kind of person who was soft-hearted. Since the other party wanted to kill him, he would naturally have to pay a price.

"Do you think I won't know if you don't speak? I'll give you one last chance. Explain clearly whether there are any other people in Longxi City."

Yang Ling smiled slightly; he was now curious to see just how stubborn this assassin was.

"Your Highness is saying something I don't understand, I just beg Your Highness to give me a quick death."

The assassin remained arrogant, which made Yang Ling admire his backbone.

"very good."

After Yang Ling finished speaking, he beckoned his guards to come over.

"Go and fetch Li Tianba, and have him loosen up this kid's muscles."

After the guards left to carry out their orders, the assassins turned pale with fright upon hearing the name Li Tianba.

I was captured by Li Tianba back then, and he punched me in the back, which still hurts a little.

"If you confess now, it's not too late."

Yang Ling looked at the assassin in front of her with a half-smile. The assassin seemed to be thinking something, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"I……"

Just as the assassin opened his mouth, hurried footsteps came from outside the door; Li Tianba had arrived.

The assassin was terrified the moment he saw Li Tianba.

To the assassin, that face covered in a thick beard was like the Grim Reaper.

"Your Highness, has this fellow still not confessed?"

Li Tianba looked at the assassin standing in front of Yang Ling, his whole body exuding a murderous intent.

“This guy is a tough one. Do you think there’s any way to get him to talk?”

Yang Ling wore a half-smile, and the assassin, looking at the dangerous master and servant in front of him, instantly felt a sense of foreboding.

Upon hearing this, Li Tianba chuckled and, without saying a word, punched the assassin.

With just one punch, the assassin was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Stop, stop hitting me."

The assassin looked pained as he watched Li Tianba approach, his whole body trembling.

At this moment, he had lost all his bravado. He was afraid that if he didn't explain things clearly, he would be beaten to death by Li Tianba in front of him.

"If you don't confess, I'll cripple you alive."

Li Tianba was like a ferocious wild beast, so the assassin dared not delay.

"I said it, I said it all."

The assassin was trembling all over; all his earlier bravado had vanished.

"Very well, now you finally know what's good for you."

Yang Ling looked amused. Sure enough, these assassins were still afraid of people who were more powerful than themselves.

In the short time it took to drink a cup of tea, the assassin confessed all his accomplices in Longxi City and even the entire Liangzhou.

Yang Ling never expected that her elder brother, the Crown Prince, had planted so many spies in Liangzhou.

"Mr. Zhuge, these are all spies. Have your men deal with them all and send their heads to the capital of Daliang as a gift from your younger brother to the Crown Prince."

They summoned Mr. Zhuge and handed him all the names the assassin had given them.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhuge did not hesitate at all.

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will handle things properly."

Yang Ling nodded. Since his elder brother, the Crown Prince, had resorted to underhanded tactics, he naturally couldn't be lenient with him.

"Tianba, you can go down now!"

After Yang Ling finished speaking, he waved his hand. Li Tianba glanced at Yang Ling, then turned and walked out.

After the other person left, Yang Ling stretched slightly.
