Chapter 332 Attacking Youli
Emperor Wen sat in a plain carriage, looking at Chu Chengli and Li Mingfu surrounded by the imperial guards with an angry face. His eyes revealed endless disappointment and anger. Over the years, he had always placed high hopes on Chu Chengli and even made him the crown prince. However, he did not expect that he would betray him and attempt to rebel and usurp the throne.
Emperor Wen said coldly: "Hurry and execute them on the spot!" His voice was firm and resolute, without any hesitation. He would never tolerate such people who betrayed the country and the emperor.
After receiving the order, the imperial guards drew their swords and prepared to carry out Emperor Wen's order. They approached Chu Chengli and Li Mingfu step by step, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
At this moment, Luo Lingyue suddenly said: "Your Majesty! The crimes of Chu Chengli and Li Mingfu should be made known to the world! Then they should be publicly executed!" Her voice was calm and gentle, but it revealed an unquestionable power.
Emperor Wen recalled that Chu Chengli had used medicine men to deal with him, and it would be too easy for him to die like this!
Therefore, Emperor Wen ordered Chu Chengli and Li Mingfu to be thrown into the Tianlao and await their fate.
A thrilling coup finally came to an end, and the court returned to its former order. Luo Lingyue and Xiao Jinghan also became the focus of everyone's attention because of their wisdom and courage.
After Emperor Wen recuperated in the palace for a few days, he announced to the world that he would abdicate the throne to Qin Wang Chu Chengjin! This news shocked the entire Dazhao Dynasty, and people were full of expectations for the new emperor.
After the King of Qin ascended the throne, he was named Emperor Wu. He announced that Dazhao would be exempted from taxes for one year to celebrate his accession to the throne. This decision was warmly welcomed by the people, who were grateful for Emperor Wu's generosity and concern.
However, on the same day that Emperor Wu ascended the throne, a prisoner robbery occurred in the Tianlao! Two important prisoners, Chu Chengli and Li Mingfu, were rescued!
This incident caused a great uproar, and people speculated who had the courage to openly kidnap prisoners on the day Emperor Wu ascended the throne.
After investigation, the truth came to light - the prisoner was kidnapped by the Immortal Master Mansion! This number one sect in Dazhao has always been operating in secret, and this time their actions made it even more difficult to figure out their intentions.
Emperor Wu attached great importance to this matter and ordered a strict investigation of the Immortal Master's Mansion's every move, and made sure Chu Chengli and Li Mingfu were re-arrested and brought to justice.
At the same time, Emperor Wu also began to rectify the government and strengthen the centralization of power to ensure the stability and prosperity of the country. He knew that he had a great responsibility and had to go all out to live up to the expectations of the people.
The Soul-Seizing Sect and the Dark Moon Pavilion are also simultaneously tracking the movements of the Immortal Master's Mansion.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, several days had passed. That night, Xiao Jinghan was handling affairs in the study, when Du Zhong and Du Heng suddenly came to report.
"Master! I have found out that the Immortal Master Mansion is a secret agent of Yuewu Kingdom! Over the years, Li Mingfu has been secretly in contact with Yuewu Kingdom's Crown Prince Huyan Rujun through the Immortal Master Mansion!" Du Zhong said solemnly.
"What?" Xiao Jinghan's face darkened when he heard this, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"No wonder..." Xiao Jinghan muttered to himself, thinking secretly in his heart.
Just then, Shang Lu hurried in with an anxious look on his face.
"Young Master! Something bad has happened! Youli is in trouble!" Shang Lu's voice was full of worry.
"What?" Xiao Jinghan stood up suddenly, his eyes full of tension.
"Jia Guang kidnapped your majesty and the queen! Moreover, Chu Chengli and Li Mingfu did not go to Yuewu, but went to Youli together under the escort of the Immortal Master's Mansion." Shang Lu said.
"Damn it!" Xiao Jinghan slammed his fist on the table, his eyes full of anger.
"Gather the men immediately, and we will set off for Youli right away!" Xiao Jinghan said in a firm tone.
"Yes! Young Master!" Shang Lu responded and turned to leave.
Xiao Jinghan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with determination. No matter what, he must protect his loved ones and never let them get hurt.
When Nanzhi found out, she was extremely anxious and insisted on returning to Youli with Xiao Jinghan.
Luo Lingyue grabbed her and said, "Cousin, don't be impulsive! You are now the future queen of Dazhao. Your every move represents the dignity of the royal family. You can't take risks easily! Besides, His Majesty has just ascended the throne and there are still many things to do. You are needed to preside over the overall situation here! Your cousin and I will go! We will definitely rescue your father and mother! Don't worry, your father and mother will come to witness your wedding with His Majesty in person!"
When Emperor Wu learned about this, he immediately convened a meeting to discuss countermeasures. He knew that Youli was in civil strife at the moment, and it was the best time to rescue Nanzhi's parents, but he was also worried that this move would trigger a war between the two countries. In the end, Emperor Wu decided to use the rescue of Nanzhi's parents as an excuse to send troops to attack Youli.
He immediately allocated 200,000 troops to Xiao Jinghan, ordering him to lead the army to rush to the Youli border, and told them to be careful and ensure their own safety. At the same time, Emperor Wu also ordered the whole country to prepare for war in case Yue Wu invaded.
Luo Lingyue suddenly came up with a plan, with a sly look in her eyes. She smiled and said to Emperor Wu, "Your Majesty! I have an idea. We can let Li Xuemei and Li Xuelan go to Youli with me. Chu Chengli has become a eunuch now, and he must be very concerned about the children in the Li sisters' bellies."
Emperor Wu frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "Are you going to use the Li sisters to exchange for Emperor Youli and Empress? Isn't this a bit too cruel? After all, they are all innocent people."
Luo Lingyue raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Of course not. I just think this is an opportunity that can be used. Moreover, I will send people to secretly protect their safety and will not let them get hurt. At the same time, it will also allow us to better grasp Chu Chengli's movements."
Emperor Wu listened and nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with the plan. But he still said with some concern: "Okay, but you must ensure their safety."
Luo Lingyue smiled, with a confident light in her eyes: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely arrange everything."
A few days later, Luo Lingyue and her group arrived at the Youli border. She sent someone to deliver a letter to Chu Chengli, informing him of the situation of the Li sisters and offering to exchange them for Nanzhi's parents.
After Chu Chengli received the letter, he really took the bait and replied that he was willing to negotiate. Luo Lingyue was secretly happy because she knew her plan was half successful.
On the day of the negotiation, the two sides met in a valley. Chu Chengli showed up with Li Mingfu and some of his men, while Luo Lingyue showed up with the Li sisters and a team of guards. The two sides stared at each other, and the atmosphere was tense. Chu Chengli looked at the Li sisters, with a hint of greed and pride in his eyes. He thought he had the initiative, but he didn't know that Luo Lingyue had already set a trap.
Just when Chu Chengli tried to take the Li sisters away, Luo Lingyue gave a signal, and countless ambushes suddenly appeared from all directions. Xiao Jinghan led the army to rush in from all directions and surrounded Chu Chengli and others. The battle broke out instantly. Chu Chengli and Li Mingfu saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape, but were stopped by Xiao Jinghan.
