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

"Are you OK?"

Looking at Mingyue, who had failed in her mission, Yang Ling felt a slight pang of heartache.

Mingyue smiled slightly, but her eyes were filled with tears, as if she had done something to wrong Yang Ling.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, the mission has failed. It's all my fault!"

Mingyue hadn't expected Li Qing to be so skilled. She had thought that if she suddenly made a move, he would definitely die by her blade.

But to his surprise, he was captured by the other party in just a few rounds.

Yang Ling personally applied some ointment to the other person and sighed softly.

Looking at Mingyue, who was covered in wounds, a hint of pity appeared in his eyes.

"This isn't your fault. I didn't expect that old dog to be so skilled. The responsibility lies entirely with me!"

Yang Ling narrowed his eyes slightly. He had no idea that Emperor Liang had such a powerful person by his side when he was in the palace.

I thought I would be able to kill him this time.

But unexpectedly, his attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and he almost lost the moon as well.

"Your Highness, please don't say that."

In front of Yang Ling, Mingyue was like a little wildcat, her big, bright eyes staring at him.

There were still traces of tears in her eyes.

"By the way, you just saved me like this tonight, Li Qing will definitely suspect you."

Mingyue also looked worried. After all, Li Qing was extremely ruthless. If he really suspected Yang Ling, there would be almost no one who could protect him.

Yang Ling looked at Mingyue, who had a worried expression on her face, with a hint of a smile in her eyes.

"I am indeed no match for him in martial arts, but there's a saying that goes, 'Even the best kung fu master is afraid of a kitchen knife!'"

Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, Mingyue looked even more confused, as she had thought Yang Ling was going to kill the other person with a kitchen knife.

"Your Highness, you..."

Before Mingyue could finish speaking, Yang Ling waved his hand dismissively; he wasn't that confused.

"Remember, times make heroes. Although I am not good with a kitchen knife, I have a gun within these seven steps. He is definitely not as fast as me!"

Yang Ling smiled slightly. Skill level is naturally impressive, but right now he has a gun in his hand.

"You should rest and recuperate here. I will kill Li Qing no matter what!"

A smile appeared on Yang Ling's lips.

Mingyue looked at the man in front of her with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"Your Highness, Mingyue made a mistake this time, but she will never make the same mistake again."

Mingyue always acts like a caring older sister in front of Yang Ling.

He did look quite cute. Yang Ling smiled slightly, then turned and left.

……

Upon learning that the assassination attempt had failed, Chen Ming immediately became restless, looking fearfully at his subordinate who came to report the situation.

The old man who had been offering advice was now frowning; he hadn't expected Li Qing to be so strong.

"Now we only have one way, and only in this way can we clear our names."

"any solution?"

Chen Ming looked at the old man in front of him with great anxiety; this old man was his only hope.

The old man smiled slightly. “My lord, there’s no need to panic. The Divine Martial General would never betray you, but you can shift the blame to him when necessary.”

Hearing this, Chen Ming breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"But this General Shenwu still holds military power. If we just sell him out like this, what if he..."

Chen Ming frowned again.

I finally managed to subdue this guy, and now I'm suddenly betraying him. What if he gets desperate and tries something stupid?

The old man smiled slightly. "My lord, there's no need to worry. General Shenwu has a very high reputation in the army. Even if we pin the blame on him, Eunuch Li wouldn't dare to do anything to him."

Chen Ming hesitated slightly, but in the end he could only nod helplessly.

"Just do as you say."

Chen Ming knew that this was the only option he had left.

If he shifts the blame, at least on the surface he won't be in any trouble.

But if he didn't do that, Li Qing would definitely turn his anger towards him.

……

After a good night's sleep, Yang Ling arrived at his training ground early the next morning.

He wasn't there to oversee the soldiers' drills; he was going to his secret base.

When they arrived at their destination, Yang Ling saw soldiers in front of him, each holding a musket.

He smiled slightly; he was quite satisfied with the result.

"General, we've been training here for three days now. When can we have a real battle?"

The young general Hu, who had been there before, was now standing in front of Yang Ling, his eyes filled with hope.

He has been completely taken under Yang Ling's control and has become the captain of the musketeer team.

Upon hearing what the other party said, Yang Ling pulled General Hu aside.

"I have a task for you, but that person holds a high position of power in the court, and I'm afraid you won't dare to take action against him!"

Yang Ling smiled slightly.

General Hu immediately became serious, looking intently at Yang Ling.

"General, just give the order. I've never been a coward."

These words clearly stated his stance, and Yang Ling smiled slightly upon seeing the other party's confidence.

It's true that youth is a blessing; you're full of passion and fearless.

"Eunuch Li Qing, do you dare to kill me?!"

The moment those words were spoken, Hu Ang, who had been so passionate just moments before, immediately fell silent.

That eunuch Li is incredibly skilled; he's already heard about what happened a few days ago.

"The general wants me to fight in close combat!"

But having already said it, he naturally couldn't back down now.

Even if it meant certain death, he was determined to give it a try.

Hearing his words, Yang Ling shook his head slightly. Even Mingyue, with her superb skills, was no match for Li Qing. Sending this young man in front of him would just be sending him to his death.

"You need to understand one thing: we have powerful weapons at our disposal, so we don't necessarily have to fight him hand-to-hand!"

As he spoke, his eyes involuntarily glanced at the gun in the other person's hand, and Hu Ang then realized what was going on.

"General, don't worry, leave this to me. I will definitely kill Eunuch Li!"

Despite saying that, there was a hint of worry in the boy's eyes; he still lacked confidence.

Yang Ling knew what he was worried about. "Don't worry, I'm leaving this matter to you. If you encounter any danger, only take action if you can ensure your own safety."

After explaining everything, Yang Ling walked into the "workshop" that she was so proud of.
