She didn't know that Fang Yue was working hard to plot a thrilling action for her.
But she always had an unyielding faith in her heart, firmly believing that Dachu would be able to survive this crisis.
The eldest princess held on to her weak body and summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures again.
"Now that the three princes are pressing harder, we must come up with more effective ways to deal with it."
A minister said worriedly: "Your Highness, our strength and There is still a gap between the three princes, and their power in the court is complicated and difficult to compete with. ”
The three princes of Dachu were originally master-level masters with tyrannical strength.
In addition, they have control of the Zhenbei and Zhendong armies, which can be said to be overwhelming power.
After Fang Yue left, the royal ancestors of Da Chu also lived in seclusion behind the scenes.
It looks like two people are not helping each other.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that although they are silent, they support the actions of the three princes.
After all, the Da Chu royal family has not had a female emperor for thousands of years.
The eldest princess's face became more and more serious. She knew that the attitude of the royal family ancestor had brought great pressure to them.
"Even so, we cannot give up."
The eldest princess said firmly, "We must continue to fight for the future of Dachu and cannot let the ambitions of the three princes succeed."
Looking at the eldest princess’ resolute expression, the ministers also felt courage in their hearts.
A minister said: "Your Royal Highness, we can seek support from the people, arouse the people's support for the orthodoxy of Da Chu, and let them understand that the behavior of the three princes is a betrayal of Da Chu."
The eldest princess Weiwei Nodding: "This is a good plan. We want the people to see our efforts for the prosperity and stability of Dachu. At the same time, we must continue to strengthen our ties with all parties and look for possible allies."
Under the leadership of the eldest princess, the ministers began to take active action.
They sent envoys to go deep into the people to publicize the eldest princess’s fair stance and plans for the future of Da Chu.
The common people began to express sympathy for the eldest princess's situation, and some knowledgeable people also came forward to support the eldest princess.
At the same time, in a luxurious mansion in the capital of Da Chu. The three princes secretly planned their next move.
The leader of the prince looked gloomy, with a stern look in his eyes. "The eldest princess's voice among the people is getting louder and louder now. We can't sit idly by. We must take action as soon as possible to suppress her power."
The other prince frowned slightly and said: "Although the support of those people is There is nothing to be afraid of, but if the eldest princess really recruits some powerful forces, it will be extremely detrimental to us.”
The third prince thought for a moment and said: "We can use the attitude of the royal ancestors to create pressure from public opinion, so that more people think that the eldest princess's behavior is against the laws of the ancestors. At the same time, we must strengthen the control of Zhenbei and Zhendong. The control of the two armies ensures that they fully obey our command."
After conferring, the three princes were preparing to leave.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the room.
The three princes were all startled and immediately became alert. The leading prince shouted angrily: "Who is it? How dare you break into this place without permission!"
The figure did not rush and slowly revealed its figure. I saw this man dressed in black, with a stern face, and a mysterious light in his eyes.
"Three princes, you are well." The man in black said in a low voice.
"Who are you? What is your purpose?" Another prince asked with a frown.
The man in black smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is that I can provide you with an excellent opportunity to completely defeat the eldest princess."
The three princes looked at each other. , filled with doubts.
But then, the leader said with a smile: "Dealing with the eldest princess is just a piece of cake for us!"
"Really, but if we add a great master, For example, what about Fang Yue?" the mysterious man said noncommittally.
When the three princes heard this, their expressions changed slightly.
They knew that the Grand Master's strength was very important. If Fang Yue really became the helper of the eldest princess, their plan would be greatly hindered.
The leading prince narrowed his eyes, stared at the man in black, and said: "That Fang Yue has returned to the Wei Dynasty. Even the great master cannot be so far away to interfere with our Chu Dynasty. "
"Haha, if I tell you, then Fang Yue has sneaked back secretly!"
As soon as these words came out, the three princes immediately looked at each other.
They know that if what this person says is true.
So for them, it is really a big trouble.
It is very likely that all their plans will fail.
The leader of the prince said in a deep voice: "Tell me your conditions."
The man in black raised his mouth slightly and said: "My conditions are very simple. After the matter is accomplished, I will Da Chu gets status and power.”
The three princes thought for a moment and felt that this condition was acceptable.
After all, as long as we can get rid of the eldest princess and control Dachu, it doesn't matter if we give the man in black some power.
"Okay, as long as you can help us defeat the eldest princess and Fang Yue, we agree to your terms." The third prince said.
The man in black nodded and began to tell his plan.
“Although Fang Yue is a great master, he also has weaknesses.
We can use his feelings for the eldest princess to set a trap and lure him into the bait.
At the same time, we must continue to suppress the reputation of the eldest princess among the people and make people doubt her.
In addition, strengthen the control of the Zhenbei and Zhendong armies to ensure that they can be used by us at critical moments. "
The three princes listened to the plan of the man in black, and their eyes gradually showed excitement. The leader of the princes said: "This plan is very good, we will start making arrangements immediately. ”
Subsequently, the three princes began to act according to the plan of the man in black.
On the one hand, they spread rumors among the people and slandered the reputation of the eldest princess. On the other hand, they secretly laid traps and waited for the party to attack.
In the palace, the eldest princess did not know the new conspiracy of the three princes.
She is still working hard to win the support of all forces and fight for the future of Dachu.
At this time, Fang Yue was quietly heading towards the capital of Chu.
Fang Yue disguised himself as an ordinary scholar and mingled with a caravan heading to the imperial capital of Da Chu.
He keeps a low profile and is always aware of what is going on around him.
Along the way, he heard a lot of rumors about the eldest princess and the three princes.
The people's attitude towards the eldest princess seemed to be wavering, which made Fang Yue even more worried.
He knew that the conspiracy of the three princes was at work, and he must find a way to break this situation as soon as possible.
In just over a month, we were already approaching the capital of Chu.
"Brother, why did you bring that scholar with you? How much food we wasted along the way."
In front of the caravan, a heroic woman frowned and said to the man next to her with some dissatisfaction.
The man shook his head slightly and said softly: "Little sister, don't be rude. Although the scholar looks frail, he has a magnanimous manner in his words and deeds along the way. There may be something extraordinary about him. Besides, when he is away from home, If you can help, you can help us, which can be regarded as accumulating some good karma for us."
The woman curled her lips, but said nothing more.
At this time, Fang Yue heard their conversation and didn't care.
He didn’t want to attract too much attention, so he followed the caravan even more low-key. As for what others think of him, he doesn't care.
The caravan continues its journey.
We are about to reach the next foothold.
But at this moment, a noisy sound of horse hooves sounded.
Soon, hundreds of knights appeared in front and on both sides.
These people were armed with various types of swords, dressed in animal skins, and had various ferocious patterns painted on their faces.
Especially the leader, a burly bandit, has an eagle standing on his body.
It turned out to be a famous bandit in Da Chu, a mountain eagle.
"Haha, listen to the caravan in front, leave the women and property and spare your life!" The mountain eagle shouted loudly, with a voice as loud as a bell.
Everyone in the caravan suddenly fell into panic.
The man's face was solemn, he held the weapon in his hand tightly, and was ready to lead the guards to resist the bandits.
The woman bit her lip, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Brother, our route is absolutely confidential. How did these bandits know that we were going here? It must be the scholar, he was the only one who joined in the middle!"
The woman's tone was full of suspicion and anger.
The man frowned slightly and looked at Fang Yue a little more carefully.
But after all, he was very smart and did not directly doubt the other party. He also knew that this was not the time for internal strife.
Immediately I didn’t say anything, but I cupped my fists towards the bandit leader and said:
Immediately I didn’t say anything, but I cupped my fists towards the bandit leader and said, “Your Majesty, we are just ordinary businessmen. Team, I didn’t bring much wealth with me on this trip, so I hope your Majesty will be kind to you. Hand, let us go. I will prepare a generous gift in the future to thank the king for not killing him."
The mountain eagle was unmoved and sneered: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get rid of the woman and the property. Hand it over, or I will kill you without mercy."
The man's heart sank, knowing that this matter would be difficult to resolve.
He looked back at the caravan, his eyes full of determination.
He whispered to the woman: "Little sister, if the situation goes bad in a while, you can find an opportunity to lead everyone to break out."
The woman bit her lip, with a look of determination in her eyes, and said : "Brother, I will not leave you alone."
At this time, The caravan man spoke again: "I, Zhou Huaian, am a disciple of Qiankun Mountain. I hope that the king will not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face and let our caravan go. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay the king for today's kindness."
Hearing this, the mountain eagle narrowed his eyes slightly, with a trace of hesitation on his face.
Qiankun Mountain is also a well-known sect in Da Chu, and he has to consider the consequences of offending Qiankun Mountain.
But he was not willing to let go of the fat in his mouth.
After thinking for a moment, Mountain Eagle said: "Huh, so what if you are a disciple of Qiankun Mountain? If you don't leave your property and women today, none of you will be able to leave."
< br>Zhou Huaian's face darkened. It seemed that the mountain eagle did not intend to let them go easily.
He clenched the weapon in his hand and prepared to fight the bandits to the death.
"Kids, kill me, kill them all, and no one will know that we did it!"
After the mountain eagle gave the order, the bandits were ready to move again, waving their weapons and rushing towards the caravan.
Zhou Huaian's eyes widened with anger and he shouted: "Don't be afraid, everyone, fight with them!"
The guards of the caravan also raised their weapons, and in an instant, the two sides were fighting Come together.
Zhou Huaian and the woman led the guards to resist bravely. With their terrain advantages and tenacious fighting spirit, they successfully withstood the first wave of attacks by the bandits.
Although the bandits were numerous, their movements were greatly restricted on the narrow hillside.
The caravan guards cooperated tacitly and continuously caused casualties to the bandits.
Zuo Shanying watched his men continue to fall, feeling furious in his heart.
He roared angrily and personally led a group of elite bandits towards the caravan.
He waved the sword in his hand, unstoppable.
Seeing this, Zhou Huaian rushed forward without fear.
He had a fierce battle with a mountain eagle. The two of them went back and forth with swords and swords.
The woman was assisting the guards in resisting the attacks of other bandits, while always paying attention to Zhou Huai'an's fighting situation.
After all, he is a disciple of a famous sect, and his strength is still much stronger than that of Zuo Shanying. For a moment, Zhou Huaian actually had the upper hand.
However, just when Zhou Huaian thought he had a chance to win.
Suddenly, from a corner beside him, a caravan guard sneaked over and launched a sneak attack while Zhou Huai'an was concentrating on fighting the mountain eagle.
The sharp blade in the guard's hand flashed with cold light and stabbed Zhou Huaian's side fiercely.
Zhou Huaian felt a sharp pain and his body staggered involuntarily.
His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He never expected that he would be attacked by someone on his side.
Seeing this scene, the woman exclaimed: "Brother!"
She wanted to rush over, but was blocked by several bandits and was unable to escape.
Seeing this, the mountain eagle laughed heartily: "Boy, no matter how powerful you are, you will not escape death today."
After that, he raised his sword again, He slashed towards the injured Zhou Huaian.
When everyone in the caravan saw Zhou Huaian being injured in a sneak attack, they suddenly became panicked and their morale was greatly reduced.
The bandits took the opportunity to attack more violently, and the caravan's defense line was about to collapse.
Fang Yue sighed slightly when he saw this chaotic situation from the side.
Originally, I just wanted to sneak into the Imperial City of Dachu safely, but there were always people who didn't have the foresight.
Seeing that the caravan was about to collapse, Fang Yue immediately decided to take action.
Fang Yue's figure flashed and appeared in front of Zhou Huaian like a ghost.
Zuo Shanying's sword fell down, but Fang Yue caught it steadily.
The mountain eagle felt as if his knife had struck a mountain, motionless.
His eyes widened and his face was full of shock.
Fang Yue looked at the mountain eagle coldly and said, "Enough is enough."
His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.
The mountain eagle felt a chill in its heart as it felt the powerful aura emanating from Fang Yue.
The bandits were also frightened by Fang Yue's momentum and stopped attacking one after another.
Fang Yue glanced at the circle of bandits and said, "That's it for today. If you dare to entangle again, don't blame me for being rude." (End of Chapter)
