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

Seeing the other person's expression and eyes, Yang Shan smiled.

"You're an assassin, so I'm asking you to kill someone for me."

When Yang Shan said this, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and Lu Bai had already prepared for the worst.

In fact, as long as the price is right, he can kill anyone.

"Your Highness, just speak your mind. I am an assassin. As long as the money is right, I can kill anyone."

When he said the last sentence, he emphasized each word, and Yang Shan naturally understood its meaning, causing a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

He's certainly straightforward; he enjoys dealing with intelligent people like that.

He then waved his hand, and three large boxes of silver, which had been prepared beforehand, were brought up.

Yang Shan pointed to the several boxes of silver in front of him, "There are a total of three million taels here. I wonder if we can persuade you, sir?"

First, they lured me here with 100,000 taels of silver, and then gave me another 3 million taels of silver. It seems that the person I'm going to kill this time is either rich or powerful.

It was probably the person at the pinnacle of power that I had in mind.

"Your Highness is so generous, I can kill anyone."

Lu Bai's eyes held a cold glint, while Yang Shan smiled slightly upon hearing the other's reply.

"With your help, sir, great things can be accomplished."

After he finished speaking, a smile appeared on Yang Shan's lips.

Now he only needs to wait for Lu Bai to kill that person, and then he can ascend the throne and the entire Great Liang will be his domain.

"May I ask, Your Highness, is the person to be killed the one mentioned above?"

Seeing that the other party was reluctant to reveal who he wanted to kill, Lu Bai spoke directly and said so.

When Yang Shan said this, there was no panic on his face, only a faint smile on his lips.

"How confident are you, sir?"

Lu Bai's eyes held a confident glint, and he smiled slightly. "I'm very confident."

Upon hearing this, Yang Shan was overjoyed, but he maintained a calm expression on his face.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir."

Lu Bai smiled slightly, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will do my utmost."

After saying this, Lu Bai glanced at the boxes of silver in front of him. With this amount of silver, he already had enough.

After seeing Lu Bai off, Yang Shan felt that his future was bright and there were no obstacles. He was certain that he would become the highest being in the world.

While the Crown Prince was plotting everything, Emperor Liang was still indulging in unrealistic fantasies.

In the inner palace, the zither played in harmony, and wine cups clinked in celebration.

Emperor Liang was enjoying himself immensely with a group of beauties, drinking and eating heartily.

The surrounding officials were also indulging in wine and women, showing no semblance of the demeanor of a monarch or minister.

The old eunuch beside him frowned deeply. He had served three emperors, and seeing Emperor Liang in this state, he was naturally more pained than anyone else.

If this continues, it won't be long before the entire Liang court is in turmoil.

Moreover, he had just received news that the Crown Prince wanted to take action against Emperor Liang, and that they were probably already fully prepared.

"Your Majesty, as the supreme ruler, you should prioritize the affairs of the nation."

When everyone was quite drunk, the old eunuch suddenly knelt down in front of Emperor Liang, looking very worried.

But as soon as he said that, everyone present was stunned.

This old eunuch could have retired to his hometown in two years, but he chose to do something like this at this time, which is a bit excessive.

As expected, Emperor Liang was furious upon hearing this.

He threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, his face full of anger.

"You scoundrel! I have always treated you with respect because you are a veteran of three reigns, but I never expected you to say such a thing."

After Emperor Liang finished speaking, he trembled with anger, and everyone around him lowered their heads, not daring to breathe loudly.

"Your Majesty, even if this old servant dies, I will still try to persuade Your Majesty to awaken."

The old eunuch was furious; he couldn't just watch the Liang dynasty fall apart like this.

"Guards, drag this scoundrel away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two guards at the door immediately walked over to the old eunuch.

Looking at the debauched and tyrannical emperor before him, and then at the ministers who dared not utter a sound, the old eunuch felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

Before the guards could even get close, he pulled out a dagger he had prepared beforehand and slit his own throat.

Before he died, he pointed at the ministers present with his finger.

"The Liang dynasty will ultimately perish at the hands of you mediocre officials!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old eunuch collapsed and died.

Emperor Liang was furious and had no interest in indulging in revelry.

"Tear this old bastard to pieces, chop his flesh up, and feed it to the dogs!"

……

Liangzhou, Longxi City.

Having changed his appearance, Yang Ling rode a tall horse, wearing a golden mask, and led his army menacingly toward Longxi City.

Prefect Chen Ming of Liangzhou personally led the officials of Liangzhou to the city gate to welcome the triumphant army.

“My lord, we have never heard of this Divine Martial General before. He should not be one of the Ninth Prince’s men. We should be able to win him over.”

The old man next to Chen Ming looked like he was in complete control, with a sharp look in his eyes.

Chen Ming's brows relaxed; he naturally wanted to do everything he could to win over such a talented person.

I just don't know what this person's background is, why he was previously unknown, but suddenly became famous throughout the world?

After a while, the triumphant army arrived at the city gate.

"Hahaha, with the Divine Martial General of our Great Liang, we will surely rule the world in the future!"

Chen Ming cupped his hands and walked up to the Divine Martial General, his face beaming with excitement.

Yang Ling smiled slightly behind the mask; he despised such sycophantic people the most.

But one has to admire the other party's deep cunning; he knows exactly what the old man is thinking.

However, Yang Ling had already figured out a way to deal with this old fox. After all, if he wanted to gain a foothold in Liangzhou, he really needed to have some skills.

"You flatter me, sir. I have only done my humble best."

After dismounting, Yang Ling said politely that he wanted to see if this guy would try to win him over.

Seeing how humble the person in front of him was, Chen Ming felt even more confident.

"I have prepared a banquet. Please, General, take a seat."

Yang Ling smiled slightly, "Alright, then I'll trouble you to lead the way, Prefect."

As he spoke, Chen Ming personally led Yang Ling toward the largest restaurant in Longxi City.

An Yu, accompanied by Yang Ling's trusted guards, escorted Yun'er back to the mansion.

"Don't forget what His Highness told you before. You absolutely cannot let those people know that His Highness is still alive."
