The system forced me to be emperor

There is a Guangyuan Temple in Beicheng District of the capital. The temple is majestic and there are many pilgrims. Every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, there must be a grand festival of offering incense, and the pilgrims don't realize it.

In the backyard of Guangyuan Temple, there is a stupa, which enshrines the relics of eminent monks who have passed away, and countless chrysanthemums are planted on the ground.

At this time, it has entered autumn, and the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, so it is very quiet and elegant.

Unlike the lively scene in the front hall, the pagoda is dedicated to the relics of eminent monks, so outsiders are forbidden to enter, so there is usually no one here.

At this time, a man in plain clothes, wearing a bamboo hat, and carrying a bamboo basket came in.

After entering, she took off her bamboo hat, revealing that she was Yan Linglong.

She walked to the chrysanthemum bushes, took out joss sticks, rice cakes and ghost papers from the bamboo basket, lit the joss sticks, arranged the rice cakes, and knelt to the south to burn the ghost papers.

It turned out that today was her mother's memorial day.

Her mother loved to eat rice cakes and chrysanthemums, so she would pray in the place where chrysanthemums bloom every year on festival days.This year has come to the big summer, and in the capital, the chrysanthemums in the backyard of Guangyuan Temple are quite famous.

This can also explain why she was in a trance during the day yesterday.

She didn't tell anyone around her, so she came alone.But according to Yan Linglong's speculation, Du Juan has served her for many years, so he should have guessed her behavior.

So...

Shusoshuo...

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps woke Yan Linglong who was in a daze, and saw more than a dozen men in black suddenly climbed over the wall and entered the backyard, all of them holding bright sharp knives, trampling on the chrysanthemums and rushing towards Yan Linglong.

coming!

Yan Linglong got up and looked at these people coldly, showing no intention of running away.

Seeing that the assassin was about to approach, arrow feathers suddenly shot out from the pagoda next to them. Because of the abruptness, the assassins couldn't react in time, and the two assassins were instantly pierced through the chest by the arrow feathers!

"Not good! I've been tricked!" The leading assassin shouted angrily, and then shouted: "Kill! Kill Yan Linglong!"

Assassins are even crazier.

Yan Linglong was not afraid at all, she had given her life to Xiao Rui at this moment.

At this time, two people jumped out of the pagoda.

It was Zhuge Yuanba and Wu Zhanfa, without saying a word, they rushed towards the assassin with their weapons in hand, and they fought in an instant.

The leader of the assassins was stabbed in the left shoulder by Zhuge Yuanba's sword, and he was so frightened that he backed up again and again, exclaiming: "Fifth-rank realm? How is it possible!"

This person is only at the fourth-rank level. He originally thought that the assassination of Yan Linglong would be successful, because the fifth-rank Baiyun Mountain was not there. Looking at the patrol camp he entered, it was impossible to appear here. I didn't expect this to be a trap to lure you into the urn!

There is even a fifth-rank master!

Chapter 117: Rainy days are suitable for negotiation

The fifth-rank martial artist state is honored as "Hundred People Slayer", and the cultivation base of this level is no small matter, and the proficiency of skills cannot be competed by a large number of people.

So facing Zhuge Yuanba who was in the fifth rank, the assassin leader looked horrified.But he couldn't help thinking about it, because Zhuge Yuanba's berserk attacks followed one after another.

In addition, there was Wu Zhanfa of the fourth rank, and Wei Guang and Shao Yao of the third rank who shot cold arrows, so this group of assassins did not cause any trouble, and they were chased by four people one by one without even approaching Yan Linglong within ten feet. annihilate.

Originally, Zhuge Yuanba deliberately left the leader of the assassins behind, but seeing that the mission failed, he feared that there would be no chance of escape, so he committed suicide directly.

Yan Linglong watched the corpses of the assassins lined up among the chrysanthemums, the blood splashed on the chrysanthemums, and the little spots of blood reflected the yellow and white chrysanthemums, bloody and glamorous.

Xiao Rui also came out of the pagoda, and first thanked Zhuge Yuanba for his great help.

Zhuge Yuanba smiled and said: "You owe me a favor, and you will have to pay it back when you have a chance!"

Xiao Rui nodded and said: "Naturally, Princess Linglong will definitely not be stingy!"

Zhuge Yuanba ignored his little Jiujiu and left here straight away.

Xiao Rui walked to Yan Linglong's side and asked, "See who is the black hand?"

"One is confirmed! The other one is yet to be confirmed!" Yan Linglong said.

"Can I know who it is?" Xiao Rui asked.

Yan Linglong smiled: "This is a private matter of my Great Yan Kingdom, so I don't need your Highness to worry about it."

Xiao Rui shrugged and said: "Well, anyway, I said that I only provide help and won't ask too many questions. Do you still need me to send someone to escort Her Highness the Princess back?"

Yan Linglong put on the bamboo hat, turned around and left while saying, "No need!"

Looking at the back of her leaving, Xiao Rui couldn't help laughing, what a proud little temper!

"Battle method, go to inform Dongchang, say that you have killed a group of assassins and let them deal with it. A corpse in the Buddhist sect, my Buddha is merciful, my Buddha is merciful." Xiao Rui said with emotion.

Wu Zhanfa went to Tongchuan immediately.

Xiao Rui returned to the mansion and sent people to the other courtyard to inquire about the situation. Yan Linglong did not do anything after returning, everything was normal.Even when Baiyun Mountain returned, it was still very peaceful.

It seemed that Yan Linglong had no intention of doing anything against the underworld.

"Sir, it seems that I underestimated this Linglong princess!" Xiao Rui said.

Jia Xu nodded and said: "It seems that not only will she not kill the mastermind behind the scenes, but she is also ready to use it. This is the resourcefulness and magnanimity that should be possessed in doing great things. This woman is indeed not simple."

Xiao Rui agreed: "It is naturally Crown Prince Yan who wants to kill Yan Linglong. I heard that this Crown Prince Yan is fatuous, doesn't like government affairs, but has a ruthless mind. Such a person is not suitable to be a crown prince, but he is suitable to be a steward similar to Dongchang. Haha... If Yan Linglong becomes the emperor, it will be a good thing for Dayan..."

"What about Da Xia?" Jia Xu asked.

Xiao Rui thought about the pros and cons, and said: "Dayan asked us to form an alliance because he wanted to rip off the tiger's skin and drive away the wolf, and it was a safe back for Daxia. So forming an alliance is a good thing, but Yan Linglong is the emperor. , may not be a good thing. If Crown Prince Yan becomes the emperor, although he may form an alliance, he is vicious and very likely to backtrack. So I think it is better to let the two fight, even if Yan Linglong really becomes the emperor in the end, he will have to Find a way to keep her from being quiet. Dayan must be weak, which is in the best interest of Daxia."

"As for how not to be quiet, when a woman is the emperor, Dayan's family is the biggest resistance force! Even Emperor Wu Ying, who was unparalleled in the world, killed most of the family and made the entire Dayan family tremble before they could sit firmly The emperor became the only empress. Yan Linglong is not enough."

Jia Xu smiled, stood up and cupped her hands: "His Highness's analysis is very thorough."

In fact, Jia Xu was so formal because he was excited because he saw that Xiao Rui was getting better and better, and he was moving towards a monarch.

Xiao Rui hurriedly asked Jia Xu to sit down, and then said: "The real negotiation will start tomorrow, and Dayan definitely disagrees with Daxia's proposed alliance conditions."

According to the results of preliminary negotiations in the early stage, the Daxia side proposed that in order to form an alliance, Dayan must meet Daxia's three conditions:

First, Dayan pays 500 million taels of alliance fees to the Great Xia Kingdom every year, which cannot be delayed.

Second, if the Great Yan Kingdom encounters an enemy attack and needs Daxia's support, then all the expenses of the Great Xia Kingdom's support will be borne by the Great Yan Kingdom.

Third, in order to promote a stable alliance, Dayan needs to unilaterally send a prince as a proton.

After these three conditions are met, the next step is the formal content of the alliance between the two parties, and the formal content is very equal.
