Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Not only the Yulin Guards couldn't understand it, but everyone who reviewed the incident afterwards found it unbelievable.

Anyway, it cannot be done with human power alone. The Yulin Guards are not just for show. The guards in the imperial palace are so tight that no one can get through. Who has the ability to come and go freely and start fires everywhere?

Just take the kerosene for example, how did it get in there?

Moreover, there is the problem of orientation. How did they solve it? The four corners of the palace are far apart. How did they avoid the patrols by running from one end to the other?

In the end, it can only be attributed to mysterious metaphysics.

What happened afterwards was even more outrageous and horrifying, simply to the point of being horrifying. Everyone who saw it was so frightened that they fell to their knees, or even rolled their eyes and fainted. Since metaphysics could not explain it, it evolved into theology.

Little did people know that metaphysics or theology were all Xu Huaiyi's masterpieces. He did not want to engage in superstition, but he had to do so. After all, the person he wanted to kill was an emperor. If he did not completely clear his suspicion, how could he live a peaceful life in the future?

If possible, he would just drop a bomb and be done with it. How much easier that would be! Why must he go around in circles and spend so much time doing that?

Everything is to clear myself!

That night, Xu Huaiyi kept going in and out of the RV. Gu Huanxi was so nervous that she almost felt dizzy. "Are you not done yet? How many fires did you set? Don't burn down the entire palace..."

Xu Huaiyi took the time to respond, "Don't worry, I have shown mercy. I only burned remote and dilapidated palaces, and didn't ruin any good things. After all, everything in it will be Xiaoyu's family property in the future. How could I cheat him?

I am much more kind-hearted than Emperor Jianxing, and I didn't hurt any innocent people. I checked carefully before setting the fire, and there was no one.

However, the Yulin Army on duty tonight is in trouble, as they cannot escape the charge of failing to provide adequate guarding.

But they won't be too wronged.

I checked and found that most of these people are the direct subordinates of Deputy Commander Xiao. If we can punish them, it will also help Xiaoyu eliminate a wave of hostile forces."

Gu Huanxi then asked, "What's next? What other methods have you prepared? Setting fire alone will not work, right? The civil and military officials in the court are not stupid, and they can easily guess that it was us who did it. What about your tricks? When will they be used?"

Xu Huaiyi was not in a hurry. "It will be soon. Let's wait for a while longer so that we can fish in troubled waters. Hehe, then we can give them a big lesson and open the eyes of these ancient people..."

"What do you want to do?" Gu Huanxi was worried, "Isn't it thundering?"

The trick of thunder has been tried and tested. This is because ancient people had limited knowledge of natural phenomena such as thunder, and they always associated it with certain omens, making it extremely easy to be exploited. Thunder in winter, in particular, has more interpretations, such as "When thunder strikes in winter, nine out of ten cattle sheds are empty", "When thunder strikes in winter, weapons will be seen; when thunder strikes in the twelfth month, the earth will pile up", and "When thunder strikes in autumn, thieves will be everywhere". In short, they are all hinting that the emperor is unkind in his governance and the court is out of order, which leads to frequent disasters, rampant soldiers and bandits, and the people's lives will be miserable.

Just this one move is enough to pin Emperor Jianxing to the ground. Even if he dies, it is a punishment from heaven and has nothing to do with them.

After all, they are just ordinary people. How can they set fires and control lightning? In this way, they can easily get away.

But from Xu Huaiyi's tone, it seemed that he wanted to add more drama to herself.

Xu Huaiyi smiled and said, "It's so boring to just have thunder. I also arranged some delicious meals for them. I guarantee they will never forget it."

"Don't mess around, or you'll end up making things worse. I won't forgive you..."

"Just wait and see."

At this moment, the palace servants who were running around in a panic to put out the fire did not know that a "good show" was waiting for them. They thought that setting fire was the ultimate move, and as for the ultimate move, it was naturally to assassinate the emperor.

Whenever an accident happened in the palace, people would go there for this purpose. Therefore, except for a small number of Yulin Guards who helped to put out the fire, most people rushed to the palace where Emperor Jianxing lived. They surrounded it inside and outside with several layers of defense to ensure that not even a fly could fly in.

Not to mention an assassin, unless he is a talented person who can fly and hide.

However, they did not wait for any talented people, but instead waited for an even more terrifying punishment from heaven, thunder.

"Rumble..."

Thunder in winter is rare, especially in the middle of the night. Even though there were shouts everywhere, the sound of thunder was still clearly audible.

"Rumble..."

One explosion after another rang in everyone's ears, and the snow on the roof was shaken down, covering the sky and the earth, as if it was going to drown people.

"It's thundering..."

"It's thundering in winter, God..."

At this moment, there was no screaming, no one dared to scream for fear of losing their heads. There were only pale murmurs, as if they had seen some horrible omen, their legs trembling and their eyes full of despair.

What was even more desperate and terrifying was that after the thunder, before they could even catch their breath, they saw a scene that would shock them for the rest of their lives.

Under the dim eaves, two tall, thin men with serious expressions and dressed in official uniforms were walking slowly.

One had a dark face, wore a hat with the words "Peace in the World" on it, and held a chain in his hand; the other had a pale face, wore a hat with the words "Fortune at First Sight" on it, and held a bamboo slip in his hand.

This image appears...

"Ghost, ghost messenger?"

After hearing this cry, the timid little guy's eyes rolled back and he fainted completely. He was not fainted yet, his whole body went limp, he knelt on the ground, trembling like a sieve, begging nervously, "Don't catch me, don't catch me..."

The ghost messenger appears to capture the dead souls.

Who can not be afraid?

Even the brave Yulin Guards could not stand. They lay on the ground with pale faces, trembling, and dared not raise their heads.

In the huge palace, Xu Huaiyi was like a nobody.

In order to make the role more realistic, he also dressed up himself, and deliberately flashed back and forth as if his feet were not touching the ground. While walking, he deliberately made the sound of an iron chain dragging on the ground, which made people's scalps tingle and they wished they could faint.

Gu Huanxi urged silently, "Stop being naughty and come back quickly. If you get caught, all your efforts will be wasted..."

Xu Huaiyi responded to her confidently, "If there are still people who can see through me after I've done this, then they must be time travelers like me. Don't worry, they are so scared that they don't even dare to raise their heads, how can they see through me?"

"Anyway, stop playing and go find Emperor Jianxing."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I've almost had enough fun..."

After that, Gu Huanxi didn't see him in the car again. Half an hour later, she saw him flash in with a strange expression, and asked hurriedly, "Why did you take so long? What happened?"

Xu Huaiyi said in a dazed tone, "Emperor Jianxing is dead, just like that. This is different from what I imagined..."

Gu Huanxi was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you do it?"

Xu Huaiyi shook his head, still a little dazed.

"What happened?" Gu Huanxi urged impatiently, "If you didn't kill him, then who did it?"

Xu Huaiyi took a deep breath and explained, "To be precise, he was already dead when I entered the bedroom. There was a large pool of blood beside the bed, and several imperial doctors were kneeling there. The old eunuch who served him was crying and wailing..."

Gu Huanxi frowned and asked, "How did he die?"

Xu Huaiyi spread his hands innocently, "I don't know, could he be scared to death? That's not possible, right? He's an emperor after all, how can he be so timid?"

Gu Huanxi said in a daze, "You're sending thunderbolts to punish him, and you're locking his soul with the Black and White Impermanence. Every move you make is aimed at his heart. Who can bear it? Isn't it normal to be scared to death?"

"He was too weak. The palace maids and eunuchs fainted at most. How could he be frightened to death so easily?" Xu Huaiyi couldn't believe it. "I won't take the blame for this. Maybe he was poisoned by the elixir and died of it."

Gu Huanxi stopped arguing with him about this issue. "Where are King Qi and Xiaoyu? Have you seen them?"

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi's mouth twitched, "Both of them fainted. I don't know if they were scared by me or stimulated by the death of Emperor Jianxing. Anyway, the imperial physician is trying to save them. However, I suspect that the King of Qi fainted for real. Xiaoyu, that bastard, probably just took advantage of the situation..."

He was well aware of Gu Xiaoyu's courage. The horror stories he told over the past few years had trained him to the point that he was not afraid of even gods or ghosts. How could he faint from fright?

Gu Huanxi breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that he fainted. It would be abnormal for him if he didn't faint. How about you? Where are you now?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "I just left the palace. I was afraid that you might be anxious waiting, so I came in first to tell you that it won't be long before the death knell will be rung in the palace. You should know what's going on. When you hear the knell, quickly have people take down those colorful things and wear plain clothes. According to our ranks, I'm afraid we'll have to go to the palace to mourn. Damn it, the emperor has passed away and it will take dozens of days to bury him. We'll be exhausted..."

"Stop complaining and come back quickly. By now, the court officials must have noticed something is wrong and are heading to the palace to inquire about the news. You better stay away from them..."

"Oh, I see."

Before Xu Huaiyi got home, the bell in the palace rang.

It was already the fifth watch, and before daybreak, everyone was startled awake from their sleep.

Three words flashed through his chaotic mind: The mountain collapsed!

Gu Huanxi already knew about this, but for now he had to pretend to be shocked and ordered his servants to put away all the festive decorations in the house, and to be careful with their words and actions during the national mourning period to avoid being caught.

As soon as Xu Huaiyi came back, he changed his clothes again and rushed to the palace cursing in his heart.

The palace is still in chaos.

The Prince of Qi woke up, but was in a daze and unable to take charge of the situation. The chaotic situation was not under control until several important cabinet ministers arrived one after another. The fire had been extinguished. The most important thing at the moment was the death of Emperor Jianxing. An explanation had to be given to the outside world. If the explanation was not good, things might change.

As for the handover of the throne, there is nothing to worry about. The crown prince is the first in line of succession, and apart from him, no one else in the royal family dares to sit on that seat.

At night, there was a big fire, thunder, and a ghost appeared to lock souls. Who could control this situation?

However, the truth about Emperor Jianxing’s death could not be made public.
