Compared to the tranquility and harmony of Cangyun City, the days in Shangjing Imperial City can be regarded as storms these days. Tuoba Liang did not spend much effort to inherit the throne, because the princes of the Northern Jin Emperor did not have enough people to convince the public except for the deposed Tuoba Luo. Even Tuoba Luo was not even more qualified than Tuoba Liang. His biggest advantage was that he was the eldest son of the Northern Jin Emperor. But now that the Northern Jin Emperor was dead, this advantage was not obvious.

The real chaos came after the news of Tuoba Liang's inheritance of the throne came out. For the nobles of the Clan, it was not that if you were the emperor, they would definitely listen to you. At least the former confidant veterans around the Northern Jin Emperor and some big families with the support of the prince were not afraid of Tuoba Liang, just as they had the same attitude towards the Northern Jin Emperor. What's more, the Northern Jin Emperor had many descendants, and there were always a few who were strong and unwilling to accept it. Tuoba Liang's own son was dead and deposed. For these nobles, it was not yet decided whether the throne would be inherited by Tuoba Liang's son in the future.

So before Tuoba Liang's ascension ceremony was held, the forces in Shangjing Imperial City had quickly divided into three groups. One of them was naturally the original Ming Dynasty Prince's Mansion headed by Tuoba Liang, because Tuoba Liang was about to ascend the throne, these people are now in the prime of their youth.

The second is the old subordinates under the former Northern Jin Emperor. These people have been born and died with the Northern Jin Emperor. Now they are vaguely inclined to Tuoba Luo. Tuoba Luo is not good at doing things now, but they still grasp these forces steadily. It can be seen that many people have always underestimated Tuoba Luo's ability. Although they are not as good as Tuoba Liang, there are other forces that restrain each other. Tuoba Yin's whereabouts are unknown, Tuoba Liang did not dare to treat Tuoba Luo at this time. Because Tuoba Yin's whereabouts are unknown, Tuoba Luo obviously took the account to Tuoba Liang, and the people under both sides were quite unfriendly.

Finally, there is the National Master Group headed by Nangong Yuyue. The position of the National Master is very important in Northern Jin. In the past, Nangong Yuyue did not like to interfere in the court, but when the Northern Jin Emperor died, Nangong Yuyue turned out to be a competent national master. Not to mention that the Yan Tuo family and the old empress dowager behind Nangong Yuyue also faintly belonged to the Nangong Yuyue line. Fortunately, Nangong Yuyue seemed to have no interest in the royal struggle. He ignored the intrigue between Tuoba Liang and the princes of Northern Jin Emperor, and devoted himself to the power in the court. The prestige of the National Master became increasingly powerful in the court.

White Tower

Nangong Yuyueban leaned on the soft couch and lowered her eyes and glanced at the person kneeling in front of her. Although there was no expression on her face, the people around her felt that the national teacher seemed to be in a good mood today.

Nangong Yuyue was in a good mood today, so even though the people in front of him did not bring him any good news, he did not take his anger on others, "Tuoba Liang... intends to dismiss the title of General Tuoba Xingye?"

The kneeling on the ground lowered his head and said, "Yes, the national teacher."

Nangong Yuyue sneered, "I can't wait to burn the fire before I took office? Who gave him the courage?" The man in white standing next to him said, "General Tuoba has always had fewer contacts than the powerful and powerful in the court, and there is no family behind him..." And he is also famous and loyal to the Northern Jin Emperor. Such a person is simply a bright target. If Tuoba Liang doesn't then, who will he take action against?

Nangong Yuyue asked lightly: "Do you have any opinions in the army?"

The man in white said, "Although there are many complaints in the army, Tuoba Liang also had outstanding military achievements in his early years and his military power was not weak. What's more, he did not treat the general but instead planned to give him the title of the general to Duke Zhenguo." This is already the highest rank except the royal title of the royal family. You must know that Yan Tuoyi, the head of the Yantuo family, was just a marquis. In the eyes of ordinary soldiers, Tuoba Liang treated Tuoba Xingye well. After all, the Northern Jin Emperor had not given Tuoba Xingye a title for decades. As soon as Tuoba Liang took office, he was directly a Duke, so what else was he dissatisfied with.

But... this general lost his military power, and no matter how high the title is, it is just a decoration.

"What do you say about Tuoba Xingye?" Nangong Yuyue asked.

The man sighed lightly and said, "The General said nothing, and seemed to have accepted Tuoba Liang's meaning. It seemed... there was no dissatisfaction." The man in white actually didn't understand the General. Even if they followed the national teacher like this, they still had some selfish thoughts in their hearts. But the General seemed to be careless, and there was no idea at all. If it was put on ordinary people, people would inevitably feel weak and incompetent. But if it was put on Tuoba Xingye... Who can say that General Tuoba is weak and incompetent?

Maybe... the general is really not here, right?

Nangong Yuyue sneered at such noble character, "Useless old guy! It seems that I can't count on Tuoba Xingye anymore." If Tuoba Xingye cooperates, they can take the opportunity to do something. If the parties involved don't cooperate, they will say anything like a dog or a mouse to meddle in other people's business.

The man in white said, "National Master, what should we do now?"

Nangong Yuyue narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Tuoba Xingye holds nearly half of the military power of the Northern Jin Dynasty. It seems a pity not to have such a large piece of meat."

The man in white said, "That...is probably considered himself as having the military power."

Nangong Yuyue sneered, "Even if he said that, he wanted to fish everything into the bowl before he became an emperor. What can I do in the future? Go and invite the heads of the Yantuo family, Jinhe family, and Tieli family to come over for me, and I invite them to drink."

"..." The heart of Ningdu County Marquis was afraid that he would not be able to stand it again.

"Yes, the national teacher."

Nangong Yuyue waved her hand and signaled the person kneeling on the ground to retreat. She was silent for a moment before asking: "Is there any news about Shengsheng?"

The man in white nodded and whispered: "Return to the national master, Miss Qu is now in Cangyun City."

Nangong Yuyue frowned and snorted softly, "Forget it, go."

"Subordinates surrender."

With Xiao Yan'er's company, Chu Ling has been more and more leisurely in the past few days. Speaking of which, the period in Cangyun City can be regarded as the most relaxing and comfortable life Chu Ling has lived in more than three years. You don't have to think about anything or worry about the people and things around you. When you feel relaxed, even the wounds on your body have healed much faster.

In Fenghuayuan, two figures of people who were fighting quickly suddenly separated. Xiao Yan'er, who was sitting not far away, immediately ran towards one of them happily, "Sister A Ling, you are so awesome." Chu Ling put away the Liuyue Knife in his hand and smiled, "It's still far from your senior brother."

Jun Wuhuan threw the sword in his hand back into the scabbard that was hanging not far away, and smiled and said, "A Ling has made rapid progress. I heard Yu Fanzhou say you are learning swordsmanship from him?" Chu Ling said, "It's all General Yu's generous, and he's still very unfamiliar after just a few days of learning." Jun Wuhuan shook his head and said, "You have already had three points of charm in Yu Fanzhou. I think that A Ling will be better than her for a year."

Xiao Yan'er nodded repeatedly and said, "Senior Brother is right!"

Chu Ling rubbed her head with some amusement and said with a smile: "Can you understand?"

Xiao Yan'er blinked and said, "I don't understand, but Sister A Ling is very powerful."

Jun Wuhuan snorted lightly, glanced at Xiao Yan'er and said, "The prescription you gave me a few days ago has some problems, so you can go and take a look."

Xiao Yan'er opened her eyes wide, "How come the prescription I configured has problems?!"

Jun Wuhuan said, "How do I know? The effect is not as good as you brag about. You can go to the pharmacy to see if you can still strive for excellence."

Xiao Yan'er glared at him fiercely and said angrily: "The prescription I configured must be problematic. It must be a problem when your idiot was dispensing with medicine!" After saying that, a gust of wind drifted out, and in a blink of an eye, there was no one. Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Jun Wuhuan with his head, "There is really a problem with the prescription?"

Jun Wuhuan said: "I don't know, I don't care about the pharmacy."

"..." Chu Ling was speechless.

Jun Wuhuan pulled Chu Ling to the corridor not far away and sat down, saying, "The news came from going to Beijing that Tuoba Liang ascended the throne at the end of the 27th month."

Chu Ling nodded and said, "You have got what you want, or have you got another big problem?" Jun Wuhuan sighed helplessly and said, "I have to do it. However, there is still chaos in the Northern Jin Dynasty, so we can take the opportunity to take a break."

Chu Ling nodded and said, "Yes, with Nangong Yuyue, I guess Tuoba Liang will not be much easier." How could Nangong Yuyue have no sign of Jun Wuhuan? Although Jun Wuhuan himself is no longer able to appear in Shangjing, and Lingxiao Trading Company has also been greatly damaged in Shangjing's generation, it is still no problem to occasionally cause some chaos to Tuoba Liang.

Jun Wuhuan chuckled and sighed, "This person Nangong... can be believed but not fully believe. If you really believe him wholeheartedly, he might be able to give you a knife behind the scenes."

"Oh?" Chu Ling raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you really know him very well."

Jun Wuhuan nodded and said, "Do you know why Yun Xingyue hates Nangong Yuyue so much?"

"Can you know if there is any story?"

Jun Wuhuan said: "When Nangong Yuyue was just practicing martial arts with the old man, the old man had endless tricks to slap people. Yun Xingyue was also thrown over by his uncle to learn for a while. Yun Xingyue had a better relationship with Nangong Yuyue than me, and Nangong Yuyue treated him well at that time. Yun Xingyue really regarded Nangong Yuyue as a friend. He practiced martial arts with him, and was punished by the old man with him. As a result, Nangong Yuyue turned his head and kicked Yun Xingyue into the snow nest and ignored it. When I found Yun Xingyue, he was almost gasping for breath." The reason why Yun Xingyue had such a good relationship with him now is that he was dragging his sick body and picked up the frozen Yun Xingyue in the ice and snow.

Chu Ling was silent for a while, and finally said slowly: "Yun Xingyue...isn't she a little blind?"

Jun Wuhuan couldn't help but smile and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Nangong Yuyue wanted to be nice to people, and he almost lost his life to save Yun Xingyue. Later, he threw Yun Xingyue into the snow nest. Do you know what he said? He said... In order to see Yun Xingyue's stupid image, he almost lost his life, so Yun Xingyue should of course pay him his life. He did it on purpose at the beginning to win Yun Xingyue's trust."

"...It's indeed a snake sperm disease." After a while, Chu Ling finally murmured.

"City Lord, Miss Ling." Outside the door, the guard hurried in. Jun Wuhuan turned his head, "What's the matter?"

The guard sent a token and said respectfully: "There is a gentleman outside asking for a meeting."

Jun Wuhuan looked at the token of the result, looked at Chu Ling for a moment before saying, "Please come in."

When Duke Xiangguo walked into the study, he saw Chu Ling and Jun Wuhuan sitting in the study waiting for him. When the maid who served tea went down, Duke Xiangguo stood up again and bowed deeply to Chu Ling, saying, "Old minister, come to see the princess."

Chu Ling quickly got up and stopped him, "Duke Xiangguo..."

Duke Xiangguo looked at Chu Ling with a little gloomy eyes, "Princess...is still unwilling to call the old minister "Uncle?"

Chu Ling was silent, pondered for a moment, and then said softly: "Uncle."

The originally dim eyes of Duke Xiangguo suddenly lit up, and he held Chu Ling's hand and said repeatedly: "Okay! OK! OK!"

Jun Wuhuan looked at Chu Ling's uncomfortable look and chuckled softly: "Recognizing relatives is a happy event, and it seems that we should celebrate it well. But is Duke Xiang coming to Cangyun City this time just for A Ling?"

The Duke of Xiangguo came to his senses and quickly let go Chu Ling and looked at Jun Wuhuan and said, "I have to thank Mr. Changli for taking care of the princess these days. To be honest, I went north for the purpose of Tuoba Liang ascending the throne this time. But the real purpose is still for the princess."

Jun Wuhuan nodded, pulled Chu Ling and sat down before saying, "It seems that Your Majesty has made a decision."

Duke Xiangguo nodded heavily, looked at Chu Ling with a little more solemn look, and said, "Princess, don't worry, Your Majesty has made arrangements. When I come back from Shangjing, the princess and the old minister will go back together."

Jun Wuhuan frowned and said, "What is the identity?"

Xiangguo said justice: "Of course, it is the identity of the second princess who was born by the first queen. When the princess returns to peace, His Majesty will immediately give him a title and will definitely not be wronged."

Jun Wuhuan shook his head and said, "The Duke of the State probably didn't understand what Jun meant. A Ling is a princess, and it was natural to give him a title. Although Jun is talking about A Ling's other identities. I am bluntly speaking, even if Your Majesty loves A Ling and treats her as the pearl in his hand, if one day the ministers in the court need A Ling to make any sacrifices for Tianqi, Your Majesty will probably not be able to hold on. What's more... With A Ling's ability, if you don't have the status of this princess, you're afraid you're still more comfortable."

Duke Xiangguo sighed and looked at Jun Wuhuan with a complicated expression and said, "Since I said I would make arrangements for the princess, I will naturally never make a mistake. Even if I don't talk about Your Majesty, the Duan family is only left..." Shaking his head, Xiangguo said, "When Your Majesty gives the title, he will issue an order to allow Princess to decide on the marriage matters. And he is the prince, and allows the princess to have personal guards."

Jun Wuhuan narrowed his eyes slightly. The princes of the Apocalypse could have their own fiefs when they became adults. Although the administrative and military powers of the fiefs of the princes in the previous dynasty were not in their hands, they only had the right to collect fief taxes. However, they also had personal guards who protected the prince's safety. According to the title of the prince, at least three thousand guards could be used. Moreover, A Ling was a princess, so there was no need to be a franchised. In a place like Pingjing, a princess with three thousand princes could indeed be left sideways.

Jun Wuhuan tapped his fingers at the table and asked after a moment, "Jingbei Army?"

The Duke of Xiangguo smiled and said, "Your Majesty's meaning, don't preach this matter now. But since the Jingbei Army was formed by the princess himself, it is naturally still under the control of the princess. If the news is revealed in the future, your Majesty will give the imperial edict at the same time, and the Jingbei Army will belong to the princess."

Jun Wuhuan asked, “Is Your Majesty’s promise trustworthy?”

Jun Wuhuan's rude question did not anger Duke Xiangguo. Duke Xiangguo sighed, "Your Majesty Changli, Your Majesty... There is only the bloodline of the princess in this world."

Jun Wuhuan was silent and looked at Chu Ling silently for questioning her opinion. Chu Ling pondered for a moment and nodded slightly. Duke Xiangguo was indeed very considerate. No matter how many he could not make promises, he could not make it even if he made promises.

Seeing Chu Ling nodding, Duke Xiangguo also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled on his face. He knew that no matter how many or detailed Jun Wuhuan asked, it would be useless if Chu Ling didn't nod.

"Okay... When I come back from Shangjing, I will come to pick up the princess and go back together." Duke Xiangguo said excitedly. Chu Ling nodded and said, "Then I'll be fine... uncle."

"No, this is what the old minister should do." Duke Xiangguo's eyes were slightly red and whispered. Jun Wuhuan said, "Congratulations to Duke, then I wish Duke the Duke all the best in going to Beijing."

Duke Xiangguo looked at Jun Wuhuan and didn't say anything. His feelings for the Lord Cangyun City, Changli, were still very complicated. This person is really capable, and having the ability is really capable, but this guy clearly wanted to steal his niece. Not to mention, Jun Wuhuan's identity and origin are unknown. If Duke Xiangguo still believed that he was really just the son of an ordinary merchant in Xiqin, he would be a fool. The son of an ordinary merchant may be a business genius, but he would never be a famous general at the same time. When he formed Cangyun City, how old was Jun Wuhuan? Did he have memories in his mother's womb or was he really a reincarnation of a god of war?

Chu Ling suddenly remembered something, "By the way, uncle. Another thing... I should have told you last time, but I forgot too much later."

"What's the matter?" Duke Xiangguo said curiously.

Chu Ling said: "It's about a person, I met in Heilongzhai..."

After a while, Duke Xiangguo came out of the study with red eyes, then left Cangyun City and headed towards the capital. But this time, before leaving, he turned around and looked at the towering city behind him with more firmness and expectation.
