Song Mian glared at the incompetent housekeeper and chased after Zhu Cihou with a flattering look on his face.

"Sir, I will accompany you to the imperial mausoleum."

Zhu Cihou glanced at him:

"All the officials are subservient to you? I don't need you here, just do your job well.

Shangguan Hong's body has been found. This is a good opportunity to make all officials submit to you. Do you understand?"

Song Mian smiled awkwardly, "Haha, I understand. I'll do it right away."

Zhu Cihou's carriage stopped outside the imperial study, and Song Mian personally helped him into the carriage.

When the back of the carriage disappeared from sight, Song Mian straightened his back again and ordered his men:

"Go, bring up the officials in the prison."

"Yes."

On the other side, after Chen Yunzhi came out of the space, the family of three found a yard and released Shangguan Hong and others from the space.

To resolve the issue of Xiqi, the decision needs to be made by Shangguan Hong, the real emperor of Xiqi.

"Am I dreaming?"

Shangguan Hong woke up and saw the bed curtain above his head and was confused for a moment.

The next moment, a familiar voice sounded in my ears:

"Master is awake."

Then a childish face appeared in front of him.

It was Feiyun who woke up first.

After a while, Qin Min'an and others who heard the noise outside walked into the house.

Shangguan Hong saw the familiar face and said blankly:

"We're not dead?"

Feiyun explained happily: "Master, we are not dead. It was Aunt and Brother Jingnian who saved us."

Feiyun helped Shangguan Hong up from the bed. Seeing Chen Yunzhi and others coming into the room, Shangguan Hong bowed to them solemnly:

"Thank you for saving my life."

Jia Si, Fei Yun, Lin Zhao and the others looked at each other and bowed in gratitude.

I originally thought that this time I was in great danger, but I didn't expect to escape death.

They also don't ask how they were rescued in that situation.

The other party is a cultivator, he must have his own means of protecting his life.

Chen Yunzhi waved her hand. "It's just a small favor. There's no need for us to do this. What's more important right now is to discuss how to solve the bigger problem."

"Something bigger?"

When Shangguan Hong heard someone bombing the imperial mausoleum, he knew that something big must have happened outside.

"Princess, please tell me what happened in Xiqi?"

Chen Yunzhi looked at Shangguan Hong with sympathy. He was just trapped in the imperial mausoleum for a few days.

When he came out again, his house was robbed.

"Song Mian, the Prince of Hexi, joined forces with Zhu Cihou, the leader of the evil Changsheng Sect, to first bomb the imperial mausoleum and then control all the officials.

Song Mian proclaimed himself the new emperor.

Officials who refused to submit were thrown into prison.

Your Shangguan family's kingdom was stolen by a traitor."

Although he had expected this, Shangguan Hong's face was still gloomy after listening to what Chen Yunzhi said.

"Haha, what a great Hexi County Prince!"

When Lin Zhao heard that it was impossible, he drew his sword on the spot and shouted that he would kill his way into the palace.

Jia Si stopped him.

"Don't worry, let's hear what the emperor has to say."

Shangguan Hong turned to look at Feiyun, "Feiyun, do you have the imperial seal that I asked you to carry with you?"

"exist."

Feiyun nodded and carefully took out a cloth bag from his arms. Inside the cloth bag was the imperial seal of Xiqi.

Carrying the jade seal with him, the Qin family members couldn't help but twitch their lips when they saw it again.

"very good."

Shangguan Hong took the jade seal and handed it to Jia Si.

"Jia Si, take the jade seal to Nanyu County to find Wang Xian. I have secretly left an army in Nanyu County to prepare for today.

The army of Nanyu County only recognized this imperial seal.

Tell Wang Xian to recruit 50,000 soldiers and come to Kyoto to help as soon as possible."

Nanyo County is located in the north of Kyoto, and it takes about two days to reach Kyoto at full speed.

In order to prevent excessive local military power from endangering the capital, the military strength of Xiqi County did not exceed 5000.

Shangguan Hong had left an army of 5 in Nanyu County in advance.

With such thorough considerations, Emperor Shangguan Hong is indeed quite capable.

Jia Si solemnly took the imperial seal:

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely convey your message."

After giving instructions to Jia Si, Shangguan Hong said to Lin Zhao:

"Contact the Jiahuang Guards in the palace secretly and see how they are doing now."

"Yes."

Seeing that everyone had a task, Feiyun looked at Shangguan Hong eagerly, "Master, Feiyun, what is Feiyun doing?"

Shangguan Hong smiled and patted his shoulder:

"Feiyun stays by my side to protect me. Feiyun will go to the yard to guard it now. Don't let strangers get close to our yard."

"Okay, Feiyun will go now."

Feiyun instantly perked up, holding his head high and going to patrol the yard.

Now only the Qin family's three members and Shangguan Hong were left in the room.

Shangguan Hong glanced around and didn't see Qin Jingnian, so he asked in confusion:

"Where's Qin Xiaoyou?"

Qin Min'an:

"He is practicing in seclusion."

Shangguan Hong nodded in understanding.

Qin Min'an took out a blueprint from his arms.

"Your Majesty, do you know what Song Mian used to bomb the imperial mausoleum that night?"

"What? I am also curious about what could have such great power."

Qin Min'an unfolded the drawing in his hand.

"It's a weapon called a cannon."

Shangguan Hong raised his eyebrows, took the artillery drawing and looked at it carefully.

"This thing is so powerful? How could Song Mian have such a powerful weapon?

No wonder that guy dared to rebel, it turns out he had this secret weapon.

In this case, I am afraid that my army will be... It seems that I will have to make careful arrangements after the army enters Kyoto."

Shangguan Hong fell into worry.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have destroyed all of Song Mian's artillery."

Qin Wan interrupted Shangguan Hong's worries with a smile.

"What? Miss Qin is ruined?"

Shangguan Hong said in surprise.

"Yes, they were destroyed that night. Now those cannons are just useless embroidered pillows. There is nothing to be afraid of."

"Okay, okay, Miss Qin is really capable. This way, I don't have to worry about too many casualties in my army."

After a pause, thinking of the Changsheng Sect, Shangguan Hong asked again:

"Song Mian can be left to me, but I will have to trouble you with those people from the Changsheng Sect."

Qin Min'an:

"Of course, once your army arrives in Kyoto, we will take action."

"So good."

At this time, in the square outside the Imperial Study, officials were dragged here from the prison.

Directly in front of them were corpses.

Song Mian stood proudly in front of Shangguan Hong's body and said to the officials:

"A man of insight is a hero. The emperor Shangguan Hong, to whom you served, is already dead. He has died in the imperial mausoleum.

Now I give you one last chance, civil servants. Be loyal to me and serve my court.

Military officers, hand over the military power in your hands, otherwise, Shangguan Hong's today will be your tomorrow."

With a whoosh, Song Mian lifted the white cloth covering the body of "Shangguan Hong".

"Hahaha, look, this is your emperor Shangguan Hong."

The officials couldn't help but look up, and saw a bloody mess, unrecognizable.

Some officials couldn't help but get red-eyed.

Some officials burst into tears on the spot.

Some officials cursed loudly.

Song Mian winked at his men.
