After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

Xiao Linfeng, wearing armor, led his men into the palace. Looking at the blazing fire, his brows furrowed.

The commander of the Yulin Army, who had already rebelled, knelt down and reported, "Your Majesty has passed away, and I don't know who set the fire in the palace."

Originally, Xiao Linfeng should be invited to enter the Golden Throne Hall, so that he can be considered as a loyal follower of the dragon.

But the fire was growing bigger and bigger, so they didn’t dare let Xiao Linfeng go in. If anything went wrong, all their efforts would be in vain.

Xiao Linfeng frowned, looked at the raging fire and the palace servants who kept running away, and asked, "Has Jiang Xue Ning been caught?"

The commander said with a cold sweat on his forehead, "When we attacked Fengluan Palace, only His Majesty was lying in a pool of blood. There was no trace of the princess. I sent people to search the entire palace but couldn't find her."

Now the fire was getting more and more intense, and their people retreated.

"Oh, she can't just disappear from the face of the earth." Xiao Linfeng ordered, "Guard every exit in the palace, and impose martial law in the entire capital to prevent her from escaping."

He led his men to Qiushui Village. He was sure that if she wanted to escape, she would definitely escape from there. He had already ambushed people outside Qiushui Village.

Sang Yu rode beside him on horseback, "Why do we have to catch her? This is not the most important thing right now."

He had to ascend the throne legitimately and stabilize the situation in the capital before Helian Mu's army arrived.

A dark light flashed in Xiao Linfeng's eyes, "I want to catch her, tear off the mask she has been wearing, and let her show her true face."

Sang Yu sighed inaudibly. After all, he still cared and wanted to confirm in person whether Gu Mingyue had returned.

Jiang Xue Ning and her group, who were being missed, finally came out of the secret passage, the exit of which was also in the water.

It was a wild river, and few people usually came. Dui Shui led people to guard the river, and when they saw them coming out, they pulled them onto the boat one by one.

Everyone was soaked. The weather in early spring was very cold. Jiang Xue Ning shivered, "Don't stay, go quickly."

The longer you stay, the greater the variables and the easier it is to find.

Du Yishui handed her a thick coat to put on, "Don't catch a cold, I have arranged everything."

The city gates were blocked, so they took the water route, went directly around the mountains, and drifted down the river.

Jiang Xue Ning lay relaxedly on the boat. The sun came out and shone warmly on her body. She squinted her eyes comfortably.

"As expected, you are good at what you do. You are the only one who knows this kind of waterway."

Du Yishui held a piece of grass in the corner of his mouth and said proudly, "Isn't this all for the sake of earning a living? It is much more cost-effective for us to bypass the soldiers guarding the city and transport goods in by water."

It took them a long time to find this waterway. It was very convenient for them to sneak into Beijing and transport some shameful things.

After all, the leaders of their village are all wanted criminals, so they naturally cannot take the ordinary route.

Dui Shui was even more experienced and not only prepared food on the boat, but also took out a fishing rod to fish.

"This river is close to the mountains, and almost no one comes here. The water is very clear, and the fish in it are very delicious."

She was so relaxed and at ease that everyone's tense nerves relaxed.

More than twenty boats drifted down the river, and after drifting for half a day, they entered a larger river.

Du Yishui stood at the bow and pointed, "Go east, go around a few rivers, and you'll be close to Qiushui Village. Go west, drift through this winding river, and you'll enter the big river."

After entering the Yangtze River and sailing for about two days, you can finally embark on the waterway to Xiangchu.

Jiang Xue Ning also stood up, looked at the river, and pointed to the west, "Let's go."

Everything that needed to be arranged had been arranged, and she had no attachment to Shengjing.

One boat after another headed westward.

Jiang Li stood at the bow facing the wind, and said with mixed feelings, "I don't know when I will be back after this trip."

She killed the king with her own hands. Unless Jiang Xue Ning was extremely powerful and unstoppable, she would never return to Shengjing easily.

She hadn't slept since last night, and as soon as she relaxed, she felt sleepy and fell asleep directly on the boat.

Du Yishui covered her with a blanket and looked at the bloody dagger again and again, "Hehe, this is the Emperor's Blood Dagger. I want to take a closer look."

The area outside Qiu Shui Village was directly surrounded. Xiao Wuzhi personally led people to guard it. Everyone opened their eyes wide and were alert, but not only did they not wait for people, they didn't even see a mosquito.

When Xiao Linfeng arrived on horseback, it was already dark.

Xiao Wuji said expressionlessly, "No one went in, and no one came out."

At first glance, the entire Qiushui Village was as quiet as death. Something seemed wrong.

Xiao Linfeng had a bad feeling in his heart. After looking for a while, he gave the order, "Attack!"

Thousands of elite soldiers took boats to attack directly, but unfortunately it did not go smoothly. Qiushui Village was known to be easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Xue Yujing opened all the traps in the village before he led his men away.

Almost none of these elite secret guards were good at naval battles. Although Qiu Shui Village did not send out a single person, they suffered heavy casualties.

Those who capsized, were shot by arrows, got stuck in traps, or got lost in the water were all doomed to die once they fell into the water.

The small Qiushui Village could not be breached for a while, Sang Yu advised, "Forget it, the people may not be inside. And you must return to Beijing to take charge of the situation now."

Xiao Linfeng stared at Qiushui Village for a long time before saying, "Give orders to block the waterway and capture Jiang Xuening and everyone in Qiushui Village."

When leaving, Sang Yu looked back and knew that it would be difficult to catch the person.

As expected, Qiushui Village was deserted. The last group of people left through the village's secret waterway three days ago after Xue Jingyu opened all the traps in the village's waterway.

The people of Shengjing were in a panic, and everyone was worried about their safety. The fire in the palace was getting bigger and bigger, burning half the sky red.

Eunuch Zhou accompanied Helian Xuan to die in the fire, and everyone else in the palace ran away. But he did not run away, one because he was old, and two because he was a eunuch in front of the emperor and knew too many secrets. Even if he ran away, he would not be let go, and he would not have a good life.

He had spent most of his life in the palace, so it wasn't a bad thing that he passed away quietly in this fire.

Outside the raging fire stood the ministers of Xiling. There was an old minister with gray hair whose eyes turned red.

"What a sin! What a sin!"

They all knew very well what the death of the king and the arrival of troubled times meant. The prosperous and stable days of Xiling were gone forever.

Master Meng stared at the burning palace with his back straight.

Xiao Linfeng came on horseback with his men. All the ministers looked at him, somewhat at a loss.

The commander of the Yulin Army took the lead and knelt down, "Welcome King Wei!"

What's not clear? He is now the King of Wei and will soon become the new emperor.

Master Meng said coldly, "He is just a traitor!"
