Chapter 441 What a vicious scheme!
"Yes, my army will be directly commanded by Feng Yang and Prince Yi. I have already dispatched a group of experts from Fengyun Tower to your Dayong Imperial City. It is not impossible to rescue your mother. Once she is rescued..."
"Once the others are rescued, shouldn't it be Dayong's turn?"
Sikong Jin raised her hand and rubbed her temples, sighing softly.
"That's right. Taking Tiansheng and then marching north is also part of the plan. However, don't blame me. I have some bad news to tell you. I didn't tell you before because of the critical period of attacking Tiansheng Imperial City."
A solemn tone suddenly appeared in Di Beizun's deep voice.
"whats the matter?"
Sikong Jin turned her head and looked up at him.
"Your Prince Duan, also known as Xing Qitian, was attacked by a group of rebels during the uprising in northern Dayong ten days ago. He was seriously injured and died on his way back to Lincheng under the protection of his guards..."
'Bah! '
Sikong Jin was stunned when Di Beizun said this!
"Princess Xing Fuhua is under house arrest in the palace. Ji Wuge tried to rescue Xing Fuhua and escape from the capital, but was discovered by your Emperor of Dayong. He sent assassins to hunt her down and was seriously injured. He was captured and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."
Emperor Beizun paused before continuing, "I only learned of this news yesterday. It's clear that your Great Yong is in a very unstable situation. I suspect that your Great Yong Emperor is about to reshuffle the deck. Your power in the western part of Great Yong is growing too much, posing a great threat to him. If he wants to eliminate you, he must use the power in Xing Qitian's hands. And if he wants to take down Xing Qitian, the Ji family is also a threat."
Sikong Jin was horrified; her beautiful face turned pale instantly, utterly shocked!
"How can this be?"
Atai had previously said that the situation there was relatively peaceful, but it wouldn't last long, which is why she...
Sikong Jin could hardly believe her ears. She raised her head in a daze, looking at Di Beizun with a hint of doubt still struggling in her eyes!
If that's the case, what will happen to Xing Fuhua? And what will happen to Su Yue?
Ji Wuge and the Ji family...
The news that Koki Ten had passed away was simply too much for her to accept.
Di Beizun, who had been calmly observing her, noticed her sudden change in expression and a hint of worry appearing in his eyes. He slowly took out the secret letter from his sleeve and handed it to her.
"Take a look for yourself. The details of what happened have been explained very clearly by the higher-ups."
Emperor Beizun uttered these words, and Sikong Jin had already reached out and taken the letter, quickly opening it to read it—
The above does indeed describe the course of events in detail:
While inspecting the riot situation late at night, Koki Ten was ambushed by a group of rebels. His guards fought their way out, but he was already seriously injured!
How could a rebel have such high martial arts skills?
The guards under Koki Ten were all elites, and Koki Ten himself was a rare martial arts master. How could he have been killed by a group of rebels?
The implications of this are probably quite clear!
Why did Emperor Dayong transfer Xingqi Tian away from Hangu Pass and then withdraw his troops from the northern border to advance towards Hangu Pass?
Why was Ji Jiucheng transferred away from the capital to the northwestern border of Dayong?
Why were Xing Qitian and Ji Jiucheng far away from the capital, while Xing Fuhua and Ji Wuge were left inside the capital?
What a vicious scheme!
Thinking of this, Sikong Jin couldn't help but feel a little annoyed!
If we had simply advised them to stay at Hangu Pass and start their own business, things wouldn't have come to this!
Emperor Xingqi Yu of Dayong clearly harbored wolfish ambitions, but unfortunately, Xingqi Tian was such a loyal and virtuous minister that he could not disobey Dayong, nor could he betray the ancestral foundation of Dayong. Therefore, this tragedy may have been inevitable.
This storm is actually Yu Kosaki's last-ditch effort, a three-birds-with-one-stone plan!
It was aimed at Xing Qitian, the Ji family, and Sikong Jin!
Sikong Jin looked down at the letter in her hand. After a long while, she raised her head slightly and instantly crushed the heart in her hand into a wisp of powder. A chilling hatred appeared in her cold eyes, sending shivers down one's spine.
"A Jin!"
Emperor Beizun could also sense the chilling anger gathering in Sikong Jin's heart. He couldn't help but frown, and a trace of concern and worry flowed in his deep eyes. "I can now organize the troops and have them stand by at the border. I will go back to the capital of Dayong with you and the experts from Fengyun Tower."
"Xing Qiyu, we are of the same blood, why are you so eager to kill each other! The struggle for imperial power can be so fascinating. I remember, Xing Qitian is Xing Qiyu's own brother, born of the same mother! How could he bear to do this?"
Sikong Jin took a long breath. Even though she, Sikong Jin, was not exactly a kind person, she would never do such a thing as harming her own brother. She never expected that Xing Qiyu could be so ruthless!
Xing Fuhua and Ji Wuge have fallen into his hands; what chance do they have of survival? And then there's Su Yue!
If she wasn't mistaken, Xing Qiyu probably wanted to use Ji Wuge to coerce Ji Jiucheng into attacking her, Sikong Jin, right?
Furthermore, Xing Qitian and Ji Jiucheng already had a good relationship, and now that Xing Fuhua has fallen into Xing Qiyu's hands, Ji Jiucheng probably has no choice but to compromise!
He, Xing Qiyu, could also use Su Yue to keep Si Kongjin in check!
"You underestimate the allure of power, Ajin! Family ties can be as fragile as paper in the face of many interests. If you were born into an imperial family, you would have a deeper understanding of this feeling."
Emperor Beizun pondered for a moment, then replied calmly.
"I don't think your Great Zhou Dynasty has to go through such a difficult situation, right? I remember your father only married your mother! That's the first time in the history of your Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Sikong Jin took a deep breath, suppressing the gloom in her heart, and looked up at him.
Upon hearing this, Di Beizun's cold and beautiful face suddenly curled into a mocking smile. He abruptly met her gaze, his eyes filled with deep emotion. "In the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has only been one woman, the Empress, who is me! Although Father and Mother loved each other very much, Father couldn't withstand the pressure over the years and eventually took in several concubines. Later, he died suddenly in the palace, and the families of those concubines also inexplicably collapsed. After that, no one dared to send women into the palace anymore, so Father has only ever had Mother as his woman!"
Upon hearing this, Sikong Jin raised an eyebrow and looked at him with great suspicion. "Sudden death in the palace? Family downfall? I can't imagine. Could it be that your mother was also a master of palace intrigue?"
The thought sent a chill down Sikong Jin's spine. If her mother and Sikong Jin didn't get along, wouldn't Sikong Jin be in for a lot of trouble?
Di Beizun glanced coldly at Sikong Jin, knowing that this woman was overthinking things again!
