Shen Qingci left completely. In addition to the ruined buildings, there were many corpses lying across the Liao Mansion, including the dead soldiers of Beicang Kingdom and officials of the Great Zhou. The pair of reinforcements left three of Ran Yichen's twelve secret guards, and each of them was extremely tragic.

It can be said that both families have paid a certain price.

Just when everyone thought that this matter was over, rumors spread in the palace: the emperor of the Great Zhou was injured and he did not know his life or death.

Ye Mansion, Gu Jinshu's eyes were a little distracted when she listened to Wen Ge's nagging voice. After a while, she found her voice.

"What did you say?"

"Everyone outside said that our Majesty was assassinated by the people from Beicang." Seeing that his master was a little out of his condition, the little maid hurriedly added.

After being confirmed, Gu Jinshu suddenly stood up from her chair and pursed her lips. In her previous life, this emperor could have died in order to defend the Zhou royal family. Why was he assassinated in this life?

No matter how you look at this, something is wrong!

In the Suiyuan, the old lady, Ye Yuqin and Gu Mingsheng sat together, but their faces did not look very good.

"I don't know whether this matter is true or false, it has been rumored outside."

The old lady sighed softly. The emperor was incompetent but absolutely could not be said to be very powerful. But now at the time of turmoil, such news came, and the war with the Kitakang Kingdom would probably not be able to escape.

"The groundlessness may not be without cause. The prince of the Beikang Kingdom has never been a good master."

Ye Yuqin also had some connections in the court, and he could tell the authenticity of this matter by asking a little bit of inquiries. Judging from the situation where the Pei family quickly entered the palace and the Zhao family followed, the situation is not very good now.

"He appears there today just to make a fuss and let His Majesty relax his guard and take action."

Gu Mingsheng also sighed. His Majesty thought he could catch a turtle in a jar, but he didn't know that he had been included in the list of people who must kill. It was really sad and a pity.

"The matter of going south is urgent. When you left Beijing, I would take a few juniors with you to Qinzhou first."

If a war breaks out in the future, the accompanying capital will definitely be a city that the Kitakang Kingdom focuses on attacking. Where can I escape by taking my family and taking my family? It would be better to make plans early in the morning.

Listening to the old lady saying this, Gu Mingsheng had no intention of questioning, but Ye Yuqin, who was beside him, said slightly: "This matter has not been confirmed yet, if it is fake..."

The old lady waved her hand and told him to say less, but she pinched her scalp: "I know you always have a few fantasies about Dazhou, but we have to prepare for some things in advance. This matter is decided."

She naturally knew her own son. Although she looked very flexible and had no old-fashioned, she was actually the most stubborn. Her precious grandson should follow him.

As far away, Ran Yichen finally stopped and took a breath, and a mouthful of blood gushed out of his chest, which scared the people around him: "Master..."

“No obstacle.”

He waved and told him that he was fine, but only he knew that he was not incomparable to thousands of men. It was extremely difficult to fight a bloody road among so many people, let alone encounter such a master in the end.

If he hadn't made a quick decision and chose to retreat as soon as possible after getting the information from the palace, he would have almost stayed there today.

Twelve on one side looked at him with a pale face, and the people around him were even more injured and knelt down on the ground with a 'stop': "Master, I'm sorry, it's because of the incompetence of my subordinates who harmed you and my brothers..."

Listening to his nagging voice and looking at the blood stains washed by his tears, Ran Yichen closed his eyes: "This is not just for you."

Those people followed him to fight south and north for so many years, but now they are dead in a foreign land. How can he not feel sorry for him? But no matter how he is, their lives cannot be saved.

"Do you know who was the last group of people who rushed out?"

Ran Yichen found that at first, most of the archers and guards were protecting Liao, so most of them were concentrated around her and did not start a life-and-death pursuit of these people, but the people who participated in the war were obviously coming to kill people.

In other words, the purpose of these two groups is different.

"It should be the prince of the Great Zhou."

What he was talking about was Ran Ba ​​who had been lurking in the Great Zhou territory. Although he was usually taciturn, Ran Yichen recognized the most among so many people, otherwise he would not have allowed him to break into the Great Zhou interior.

"Zhou Cheng?"

Ran Yichen narrowed his eyes. At the beginning, he did not take this man who could not even defend his marriage. However, this trip to the capital made him change his mind. I don’t know whether this assassination was right or wrong!

For the first time, Ran Yichen questioned his decision.

"Liu Anren is afraid he will be exposed."

Ran Ba ​​whispered softly. While they were trying hard to attract attention in the Liao family, Liu Anren began the most important part of all plans to get close to the emperors of the Great Zhou, and one blow was fatal.

And he did do it, and he saw too much from the gorgeous fireworks.

"He will guard with death."

When he knew that he would have no way to survive after the assassination, he gave him a bottle of poison, and as for his family, he would ask someone to take care of him.

"After going back, the disappearing people will be selected from the secret guard camp to make up for it. As for their families, I will treat them kindly."

This was the worst time for his twelve secret guards to be killed or injured, but they also achieved considerable achievements and could be recorded in history.

Seeing the few people's moods depressed, his voice slowed down a little: "This is the struggle of power, there will be sacrifices when fighting, this is a fate."

"Ran Ba, when you arrive at the border between Beicang Kingdom and the Great Zhou, you will find a way to return to the capital of the Great Zhou."

After he returns, he will start preparing for the expedition. When attacking the capital, someone must be his own support, otherwise the city wall will be difficult to break.

"Subordinate..."

Ran Yichen frowned, his voice a little heavier: "This is an order."

"promise."

It made my father want to accompany his master to fight in all directions, but he also knew that he had already had a lot of connections in his companionship. If he gave up, he would probably be wasted all his efforts.

"You go back and find ways to contact the second son of the Pei family. He is a smart person. I believe he will make the most appropriate choice. If he is still stubborn, then tell him that I can consider his conditions."

Seeing that Ran Ba ​​was still asking in detail, Ran Yichen shook his head: "He will understand if you bring this king's words to him."
