The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world
Chapter 407 Confrontation between uncle and nephew
When Tian Qiquan climbed up the city wall, he saw Tian Muyu's army approaching the city outside.
The 20,000 troops deployed in a scattered manner occupied almost the entire southern part of the city.
However, they were all out of the defenders' shooting range, so it was impossible to attack them with a rain of arrows and lightning.
"I am glad that my nephew and the princess have returned to the capital, but you have deployed such a formation, are you planning to attack the imperial city?"
Tian Qiquan asked the first question.
He looked down at Tian Muyu and Jixiang outside the city with a sinister smile on his face.
Tian Muyu said, "Sixth uncle said that I want to attack the imperial city. What do you say that Sixth uncle has set a trap in the city, waiting for us to enter the city and fall into your trap?"
"I came back to the capital this time to bring back the late emperor's coffin for burial according to the regulations, but Sixth Uncle blocked the city gates and refused to let us in. What was his intention?"
"Father is the emperor of the Great Saint Dynasty. Does that mean he is no longer qualified to live in Huangling after his death?"
"Sixth Uncle is Father's brother. How Father treated you when he was alive was seen by many senior officials and common people in our Great Saint Dynasty. Have you ever thought about how they will view you if you treat him like this now?"
"Tian Muyu!" Tian Qiquan was angry!
This Prince Ning, who seemed docile before, actually dared to speak to him like this!
"Tian Muyu, I'm your sixth uncle! How dare you talk to me like that? Aren't you afraid that I'll have you arrested right now and even strip you of your title as King of Ning?"
"Sixth uncle, what you said is too serious. The throne you hold now was stolen from my father, and now you want to deprive me of my title of Prince Ning. If the world knows about this, they will accuse you of stealing the country and harming people. You stole the country of your own brother, and harmed the people of your own nephew."
"How can a cruel and cold-blooded person like you be kind to the people? If the people knew about it, they would despise you. If the governors of various places knew about it, there would be chaos in the country, and many heroes would fight for supremacy. You would not be able to sit on the throne for many days."
"Jixiang!" Tian Qiquan shouted, "You have no right to talk to me?!"
"Humph, how am I not qualified?! When you harmed my Ji family and plotted to have the prince take my life, you became my Jixiang's enemy! Not only am I qualified to talk to you, I am also qualified to seek revenge on you!"
As he spoke, Jixiang took out a crossbow and aimed at Tian Qiquan on the city wall.
Although Tian Qiquan saw Jixiang aiming at him, he thought that the distance between them was too far for an arrow to reach. So even though he saw it, he didn't take it seriously.
"Haha, you actually knew about this. That's right, I was the one who ruined your marriage with the prince!"
As soon as Tian Qiquan finished speaking, a sharp arrow appeared in front of him. He was so scared that he stood there for a moment. If it weren't for a secret guard beside him who was quick to pull him away, the arrow would have pierced his eyes.
However, even though he was pulled by the secret guard, the arrow still pierced his shoulder.
"Protect the emperor!" The secret guards immediately surrounded Tian Qiquan, ready for Jixiang's next surprise attack.
Jixiang did not disappoint them. The arrows she shot knocked down several secret guards nearby.
Tian Qiquan was surrounded and felt unbearable pain and itching in his shoulders. The itching seemed to spread quickly throughout his body along with the blood.
"Hurry, hurry and find the imperial physician!" Tian Qiquan shouted.
The secret guards then remembered that Tian Qiquan still had an arrow on his shoulder. Fearing that the arrow was poisonous, they quickly protected Tian Qiquan and got down from the city wall.
Jixiang was still holding her crossbow and looking at the other side of the city wall. She was very disappointed when she saw the secret guards escorting Tian Qiquan down from the city wall. "They ran away so quickly. They don't have the dignity of an emperor at all!"
Xiong Er and Tian Muyu suddenly saw Jixiang holding a very strange weapon. They were curious to begin with. Now that they could finally ask, they asked almost in unison, "Miss (Princess), what is the weapon in your hand?"
Jixiang was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized.
It turned out that she took out a crossbow from the space in a hurry, which made the two of them a little confused.
So he chuckled and said, "I just developed a new type of bow and arrow a while ago. This one has strong shooting power, fast speed, and a much longer range than conventional bows and arrows." He handed it to Tian Muyu and said, "Here you go, get familiar with it first."
He continued, "The Sixth Uncle must have been shot. He won't try to fool us anymore. He will probably send troops to attack us directly. We need to prepare immediately."
Xiong Er nodded, "Before the young lady arrived, the prince had already made arrangements with us. Now the team's formation is arranged to resist the enemy."
At this point, he suddenly thought of something and quickly handed a bottle of poison to Jixiang, "This is what Prince Duan sent people to disguise as civilians to poison us, and we found it in advance."
Jixiang opened the bottle cap and sniffed, "This is Qian Meiluo. The Sixth Uncle is really cruel. If several people attack at the same time, the poisoned soldiers may not be able to be saved even by Father Tian."
"A total of two hundred people were sent."
Jixiang was shocked. "How many Qian Mei Luo poisons did he prepare? I know there is only one Qian Mei Luo in Jiyue Villa. Could it be that the Sixth Uncle has others?!"
This discovery suddenly made Jixiang more alert, "Where are those who poisoned?"
"They are all under guard over there," Tian Muyu had also finished studying the crossbow at this time, and said quickly, "I will take the princess over. The leader is Uncle Jiang, an old man from Prince Duan's mansion. He is not dead, and he came to the capital with the Sixth Uncle."
On the way, Tian Muyu briefly told the story of Mr. Jiang.
After hearing this, Jixiang became even more certain that the fire in Prince Duan's mansion was set intentionally by Prince Duan. However, both she and Tian Muyu were not sure whether the more than 200 bodies carried out of Prince Duan's mansion were from the palace.
"There will always be a result. As long as we enter the city, we will definitely meet more people from Prince Duan's Mansion." Tian Muyu said.
Ji Xiang nodded.
The two men quickly arrived at the place where Uncle Jiang and others were detained. When Uncle Jiang saw Tian Muyu coming again, he turned his face away with disdain.
Tian Muyu signaled to Jixiang.
Jixiang came up to Mr. Jiang and looked at him carefully.
Seeing that Jixiang didn't speak for a while, Tian Muyu was puzzled, "Is there any problem?"
"It's hard to say. Normally, people like him won't surrender easily. You caught him, and he didn't resist?"
Tian Muyu thought about it and nodded, "She struggled a bit, but she didn't put up any violent resistance."
"That's not right." Jixiang stepped forward and grabbed Mr. Jiang's hair.
Mr. Jiang's hair was tied in a bun on top of his head. When Jixiang grabbed it, he instantly became furious. He suddenly jumped up and wanted to attack Jixiang.
Jixiang opened his hands and showed a pack of silver needles. "No wonder you are so obedient. It turns out you have a backup plan."
When Mr. Jiang saw that his purpose was discovered, he immediately took action against Jixiang.
But Jixiang was prepared and slapped him two meters away with one palm.
Mr. Jiang staggered a few times before he stood still.
At this time, Tian Muyu had already flown in front of him, with a long sword against his neck.
