Chapter 268 Emperor Yan dies and chaos begins
Seeing this line of writing, Zhao Ya couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, but he was not surprised.
Although Yan Tingshan was fine when Zhao Ya left Yandu City, now he is suddenly seriously ill and dying. You can guess with your toes that there must be something fishy.
But to be honest, none of this matters.
Dayan is already riddled with holes and is on the verge of collapse. This situation cannot be changed by oneself.
Even if Yan Tingshan doesn't die, it will only delay the process a little.
But this was a reminder to Zhao Ya that it was time to go back.
Although Zhao Ya has no interest in whether Dayan will be destroyed or who will be the emperor after its destruction.
But Yandu City still has some things that need to be dealt with by itself.
Zhao Ya returned to the Song family.
It was already early in the morning, and in the dead of night, Zhao Ya didn't have the nerve to wake up the concierge, so he flew directly into the courtyard.
As soon as he landed, Zhao Ya, who was about to go back to his house, suddenly saw a person sitting under the big tree in the courtyard.
It’s Song Peiwan!
Zhao Ya was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Well, I'm waiting for you to come back."
"Wait for me?" Zhao Ya was a little surprised.
"Are you...going to leave?" Song Peiwan hesitated and finally asked.
Zhao Ya didn't hide anything, "Yes."
"When do you plan to leave?"
"tomorrow."
"So fast?"
"Well, Yandu City still has some things to deal with."
"What happens after you're done with it?"
"Go back to Yunxiao County, and then go out to explore." Zhao Ya told his future plans very calmly.
"Oh, then... I wish you a safe journey." Song Peiwan said softly.
Looking at Song Peiwan who was obviously in a low mood, Zhao Ya also fell silent.
How could he not know Song Peiwan's thoughts?
But he is destined to continue on the path of martial arts, which means he will never stay in a certain place and live a stable life.
And Song Peiwan is different from Zui'er, unable to follow her around.
These two irreconcilable conflicts seem to make it difficult for the two of them to get together.
So Zhao Ya had mixed feelings at this time and didn't know what to say.
"It's getting late. Since you have to leave tomorrow, go and rest quickly." Song Peiwan stood up and said softly.
Zhao Ya nodded, "The same goes for you, go to bed early."
The two of them said goodbye.
Song Peiwan returned to her house.
Maid Xiaoman has fallen asleep on the table.
Apparently she had been sitting at the table waiting for him until she couldn't hold it any longer and fell asleep.
Seeing this, Song Peiwan couldn't help but slow down her steps.
Despite this, Xiao Man was soon awakened.
"Miss, you're back!" Xiaoman asked sleepily.
"Well, I'm back."
"Have you met Commander Zhao?"
"I saw it." Song Peiwan said lightly.
"Oh? Then what are you two talking about!" Xiaoman was very curious.
"I didn't say anything, just had a brief chat, and he said he was leaving tomorrow."
Xiaoman's eyes widened, "You're leaving tomorrow? So soon?"
"Yes, he said he would take care of things and then plan to go out and have a try." Song Peiwan's tone was a little cold.
"Actually, I have known for a long time that a person like him will never stop for anyone. Only Zui'er, who has been accompanying him everywhere, can follow him."
"But Miss, you..." Xiaoman was anxious.
Song Peiwan just waved her hand, "Don't say anything anymore. I'm a little sleepy. Go to sleep."
"Oh!" Xiaoman didn't dare to say anything.
She said she was sleeping, but in fact Song Peiwan tossed and turned that night, unable to sleep.
It wasn't until it was almost dawn that she fell asleep in a daze, but was soon awakened.
"Miss, Miss, Commander Zhao has left. This is what he left for you before he left." Xiao Man handed a box to Song Peiwan with a complicated expression.
Song Peiwan opened it and saw that there was actually a sword manual inside, and it was written by Zhao Ya himself over a night.
Although Zhao Ya has never used a sword, when the realm reaches a certain level, the principles are actually the same.
In addition, when he was in the Golden Sword Academy, Zhao Ya also read many sword manuals.
These sword manuals were all collected by the Golden Sword Academy. Although they were basically low-grade Xuan-level or Huang-level techniques, they had a lot of inspiration for Zhao Ya.
Before leaving this time, Zhao Ya felt that he should leave a gift for Song Peiwan.
Thinking of her using a sword, Zhao Ya tailor-made this sword technique based on her own characteristics.
Looking through this sword manual, Song Peiwan couldn't calm down for a long time.
Suddenly.
She stood up, took off the sword hanging on the wall, turned around and left.
"Miss, what are you doing?" Xiaoman asked in surprise.
"Go to the backyard and practice sword practice."
Song Peiwan left without looking back.
She has made up her mind to practice hard in the future and strive to achieve a breakthrough in martial arts.
Although he may not be able to catch up with Zhao Ya, at least he won't be left too far behind.
At the same time, two other people also received gifts written by Zhao Ya himself.
One is Tan Dong. Zhao Ya gave him a book on martial arts practice, especially explaining in detail the problems he may encounter in the future.
Reading this book, Tan Dong couldn't help but burst into tears, and secretly made up his mind that he must not live up to Zhao Ya's expectations of himself and work hard to become a good person.
The other one is naturally Song Linqing.
What he got was a book about poisonous roads. Zhao Ya wrote down all the know-how and experience about the exotic meat fields and poisonous roads, which could be regarded as a repayment for Song Linqing's kindness in the past.
All in all, after finishing everything as quickly as possible, Zhao Ya took Zui'er and set off on their way home.
And just as Zhao Ya and Zui'er were returning, the situation in Yandu City that had been undercurrent gradually became more intense.
The Wei family, the Lin family and many other wealthy families, as well as the Xuanyang sect with three sects, two courtyards and one villa, together formed a powerful force.
Secondly, Yan Sifu successfully connected many great Yan royal families, and his strength should not be underestimated.
In addition, many court officials have adopted the attitude of staying away and waiting to see what happens.
We don’t take sides or oppose anyone, we just see which side can win and then sway to which side.
Although the profit is relatively small, it is more reliable.
This is the logic of the court. You can have ninety-nine victories, but as long as you fail once, all your previous efforts will be wasted.
So stability is more important than anything else.
And just when the various forces were fighting overtly and covertly between the government and the opposition, a person came to the palace.
"Your Highness, it's not that we are blocking you, but His Majesty has just taken the medicine and has fallen asleep. If you go in now, wouldn't it disturb His Majesty?" explained a senior eunuch.
But Yan Xizhao ignored this at all and just glanced at the group of eunuchs coldly.
"That's what you said last time I came here. What's the matter this time it's still the same? Are you trying to stop me from seeing His Majesty?"
"Slave doesn't dare."
The leading eunuch hurriedly knelt down on the ground after hearing this, and then the group of eunuchs cheered and knelt down in unison.
"If you don't dare, get out of the way now, otherwise I won't listen to what I say, but the sword in my hand won't listen."
Yan Xizhao was indeed a little angry.
When she heard the news, she rushed to the palace to visit, but she was given all kinds of excuses to get through.
Later, Yan Xizhao came several times but returned without success.
Until this time, Yan Xizhao was completely angry. Seeing this, the eunuchs did not dare to speak anymore and moved out of the way.
Yan Xizhao snorted coldly and walked inside.
After she left, the leading eunuch winked at her.
The little eunuch understood what had happened and hurried away. Then he ran all the way to Rongxi Palace and told Concubine Rong what had happened.
After hearing this, Feng Rong felt tight in his heart.
In fact, she also knew that she couldn't stop Yan Xizhao on her own.
Her previous idea was to hold off Yan Xizhao as much as possible, and it would be best to wait until Yan Tingshan was unconscious and unable to speak before letting the two siblings meet.
But now this plan has obviously failed.
I just don’t know what the reaction will be to this Yanxi note.
Feng Rong was in a state of confusion, but he didn't dare to go there. He dismissed the young eunuch casually, and then thought about how he should deal with Yan Xizhao who was going to kill him later.
Unexpectedly, just a short while later, the little eunuch came over to deliver a message, saying that Yan Xizhao had left the palace.
"What? She left without saying anything?"
"Yes, I didn't say anything."
Feng Rong was puzzled. He didn't know what the two brothers and sisters were talking about, and what kind of medicine was sold in Yan Xizhao's gourd.
Soon, she passed the news to Wei Tianlin.
Today, Wei Tianlin is full of energy, feeling that the goal he has worked for most of his life is about to be achieved, and his whole body is full of energy.
When he learned that Yan Xizhao broke into the palace and had a secret conversation with Yan Tingshan, he actually didn't pay much attention to it.
Because it is now the time, whether it is Yan Tingshan, Yan Xizhao, or this Xijian Villa, there are not many trump cards that can be used.
No matter how secretly they talk, they can't come up with anything.
On the other hand, with the participation of the Xuanyang Sect and the secret assistance of the Paradise Sect, the strength on my side is super strong, so naturally I don't need to care about these trivial things.
Wei Tianlin just ordered his men to keep an eye on Xijian Villa and pay attention to their movements at all times.
As for other things, he didn't pay attention at all.
Jingzhao Mansion.
Shang Luoluo, dressed in men's clothing, is sorting out information.
During the recent period, with the tense situation in Yandu City, the workload of Jingzhao Mansion has increased significantly.
Even Shang Luoluo has not been home for several days and has been living in the inner office.
At this time, Shang Jingchuan opened the door and walked in. He immediately sat on the recliner with a look of exhaustion on his face.
Upon seeing this, Shang Luoluo stood up, poured a cup of hot tea, and then brought it over.
Shang Jingchuan took the tea cup and took a long sip before letting out a sigh of relief.
"Huh, I'm so tired."
Shang Luoluo smiled and said, "You have checked all the cities and towns in Yandu City one by one. Isn't that tiring?"
"There is no way. The household registration information that has been preserved from that year has long been out of date. If you want to grasp the real situation, you have to adopt such stupid methods." Shang Jingchuan said.
"Now I can be said to be the person who knows the household registration situation best in the entire Yandu City. In this way, I can implement policies according to the situation, save manpower as much as possible, and maintain peace on the ground."
This was actually Shang Jingchuan's helpless move.
Because the manpower of Jingzhao Mansion is limited after all, even with the help of the Yun family, it will still be the same.
And with the turbulence of the current situation, Yandu City is bound to be in chaos.
That is the real severe test.
For this reason, Shang Jingchuan spared no effort to investigate the specific situation of Yandu City.
And looking at his father, who had become dark and thin due to exposure to the sun and constant visits, Shang Luoluo felt quite emotional.
once Upon a time.
Shang Jingchuan was still a useless scholar who could only sit in his study and talk about world affairs.
In less than a year, he has transformed into a real go-getter who is both hands-on and able to use his mind.
This change is not a big one.
While the father and daughter were having a heart-to-heart talk in the house, a bell suddenly sounded in the distance.
Ordinarily this is not very strange, Yandu City has a second floor of bells and drums, and ringing bells is a common thing.
But this time it was different. The bells that came this time were not only rapid, but also very sharp and harsh.
After hearing the sound of the bell, Shang Jingchuan and Shang Luoluo's expressions changed drastically.
"not good!"
The two of them ran out of the room and looked in the direction where the bell was coming from, and then tears burst into Shang Jingchuan's eyes.
"His Majesty!"
The sound of the bell came from the palace.
Obviously, this was the death of Emperor Yan Tingshan.
Otherwise there wouldn't have been such a big fuss.
Although Shang Jingchuan also had some criticisms about what the Emperor of Yan did.
But when he passed away, Shang Jingchuan still cried and mourned endlessly.
Of course Shang Luoluo didn't feel that much.
She just looked at the birds in the distant sky that were startled by the sound of the bell, and sighed silently.
Dayan is one step closer to its defeat.
At the same time, the entire Yandu City was boiling.
Although Yan Tingshan has been in power for more than 20 years and achieved nothing, many people are still sad about it.
Ordinary people were panicked, and many shops closed their doors early.
Yan Sifu was overjoyed. He immediately put on the mourning clothes he had prepared and rushed to the palace with his people.
The earlier you go, the more confident you will be.
But at this time, there were also many people in the Dayan royal family who were ready to make a move.
After all, Yan Sifu was not the only one who coveted the throne.
Even though he united most of the royal family, there were still many people who were dissatisfied with him.
The Wei family, in the heavily guarded back house.
Wei Tianlin looked at the people in the room with a serious face.
The small room was full of people, and they were all powerful people in Yandu City.
Among them are the heads of wealthy families such as the Lin family and the Liu family, as well as the heads of several major chambers of commerce.
"Everyone, now that Yan Tingshan is dead, the Yan royal family will definitely fight among themselves for the throne. At this time, the private army cannot intervene. This is the best time for us to take action."
"So I have decided that tomorrow night, we will work together to completely overthrow the Yan Dynasty that has been in power for more than three hundred years and build a new dynasty together. What do you think?"
"Good!" All the family heads' eyes lit up when they heard this, and they nodded in agreement.
