Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

[The leader of the city patrol guards, Zhang Han, was bribed and instigated to rebel, and 50% of the city patrol guards are rebels.]

[The weather suddenly changed. Be prepared for heavy rain today. ]

Yan Xiuchen's face darkened, and he handed the letter in his hand to Yan Xiujin thoughtfully.

"You two go back and tell Jiuhan to notify the Red Guard and the Northern Guard to follow secretly. Tonight, tell him not to leave the Queen's side at all times."

"Yes, I will obey your order."

Seeing everyone leave, Yan Xiuchen turned and walked towards Zuo Xiang and the others.

"I'm afraid that tonight will not be peaceful. I will immediately order your families to be sent to the Regent's Palace and be protected by Jiang Qingyu personally."

"Cheng Xiang, you must leave the city immediately, take over the troops in Xiancheng, and quickly come to the capital to reinforce."

"Yes, I obey your order."

"Yan Xiujin."

"Your humble servant is here..."

Yan Xiuchen took out the token from the box on the table and handed it to Yan Xiujing.

"This is a transfer order. You are responsible for sending the families of the Left Prime Minister and General Cheng to the Regent's Palace, and handing the transfer order to Jiang Qingyu."

"He is the commander of the Fengtian Camp, in charge of the Kyoto troops. Ask him to give orders. Tonight, the Kyoto troops include the four city defense camps, the patrol city guards, and the Jingfu Division."

"Everyone...stay in the camp and do not leave without the emperor's order."

"Also, notify the capital government that there will be a curfew at midnight today and the city gates will be closed. No one except Cheng Xiang and the soldiers from Xiancheng will be allowed to enter or leave."

"Yes, I will go now."

……

Just as the bookstore owner said, the sky was gloomy for half a day and not a drop of rain was seen.

It was just pitch black, and with a sudden gust of wind, it was very scary.

The sky gradually darkened. Jiang Qingwu and Wanyue were sitting in the carriage, while the four personal guards and Jiuhan were all riding horses.

The team was not large, but it was enough to attract attention in the ghost market.

"Stop, let's go in on foot." Jiang Qingwu looked at the archway leading to the ghost market outside and stopped the carriage.

"Girl, how do you know that Master Gu is in this ghost market?"

After Wan Yue helped Jiang Qingwu get off the carriage, she began to look around, "Guessed."

The wind and rain seemed to have no effect on the people here, except that some shops that were afraid of wind and rain were moved indoors.

The roads on the street have also become wider.

But, it’s not less at all.

Jiang Qingwu, along with Wanyue and Jiuhan, along with four personal guards, headed straight for Changrong Teahouse in the Ghost Market.

Yan Xiuchen had already visited this place once before, so there was no need to put in any effort.

Only when he arrived did Jiang Qingwu realize that it was not quite the same as he had imagined.

The teahouse was operating normally, with a few scattered customers chatting with each other.

There were various snacks and famous teas on the table.

The guys in the store were busy as well, but other than that, there was nothing unusual.

"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, please come in. It's windy outside today. Have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."

The waiter brought them to the largest table. After Jiang Qingwu sat down, he also motioned for his men to sit down.

Jiuhan looked around, winked at Jiang Qingwu, and looked at the small table in the corner.

An old man, dressed in gorgeous and bright clothes, was drinking tea alone with an attendant.

Jiang Qingwu looked him over and calmly gestured to the waiter, "Do you have any good Longjing tea?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Okay, three pots of Longjing tea, one serving of osmanthus cake, two servings of sesame cake, and half a pound of dried Yangguo and half a pound of dried peaches."

"Okay, please wait a moment, it will be right there." The waiter agreed attentively while taking note.

There didn't seem to be anything unusual.

"Girl, this teahouse looks fine. Did we find the wrong place?"

Jiang Qingwu heard the voice, thought silently for a moment, and shook his head gently, "No, you didn't smell it, did that guy smell of alcohol?"

"Wine?" Jiuhan asked in surprise, and then met Jiang Qingwu's gaze.

Jiang Qingwu gave a look and Jiuhan suddenly stood up and walked towards the waiter at the counter.

"Waiter, my master said he wants to drink some wine. Bring me two more jars of good wine."

"Oh, sorry, our guest, we don't have any wine..."

"No alcohol? If you don't have any alcohol, why do you smell so strongly of alcohol? How dare you fool me?" Jiuhan shouted, grabbed the other person's collar and slammed the knife on the counter.

Hearing the noise, all the travelers looked over.

Jiang Qingwu looked around calmly, then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, no, there is really no wine. Sir, you must have made a mistake..."

"Who did you say made the mistake? Are you looking for death?" Jiu Han shouted, grabbed the teapot on the counter and smashed it.

Seeing this, several tables of guests immediately fled from the teahouse.

After a while, only the waiter in the teahouse and the old man in the corner were left.

"Jiuhan..." Jiang Qingwu shouted, and Jiuhan realized that everyone around him had escaped.

Yes, in a place like the ghost market, murder, robbery, cheating, theft and robbery are all normal.

If someone causes trouble, they will escape quickly.

Jiuhan let go of the man and walked towards Jiang Qingwu silently.

"You are high up there, it's time for you to show up. Now that I'm here, I should pay my respects to you."

Jiang Qingwu's voice was so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire teahouse.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone flew down from upstairs.

Upon seeing this, the personal guards around him immediately took alert, but Jiang Qingwu remained calm.

After the shop was closed, a dozen or so masters in black brocade robes stood in the hall.

Seeing this, the old man in the corner slowly turned around and chuckled.

"You came quite early. How did you know that Gu Yanbai was in the ghost market and in this teahouse?"

Jiang Qingwu did not stand up. He looked at the old man in the distance, lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Since you are here to deliver an imperial decree, you want me to come."

"If it is hidden in a place where I can't find it, wouldn't it be a waste of the imperial edict?"

"The Changrong Teahouse in this ghost market is your base camp."

"Yan Xiuchen and his team have already visited once, and the time they agreed to visit is midnight."

"Except for the ghost market, I'm afraid there is no other place where I can easily find and kill people."

The old man heard the voice and nodded with a smile, "Didn't you say you wanted to salute me? Come on."

As the old man spoke, he straightened his robe and sat up straight.

Jiang Qingwu looked over and sneered, "I am going to pay my respects, but not to you."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu slowly stood up and walked towards the old man who was cleaning the tea sets in the corner of the counter with his back to the hall.

Jiuhan looked at Jiang Qingwu in confusion, then glanced at Wanyue, and then subconsciously followed.

"girl……"

After Jiang Qingwu stopped, he looked at the other person's back and handed the knife in his hand towards Wanyue.

"Your son Jiang Qingwu pays homage to your father..."

Jiuhan looked at the person in front of him in confusion. Seeing Jiang Qingwu bowing respectfully, he pulled Wanyue and knelt down as well.

After a long time, the person in front of him slowly turned around and spoke softly.

"After ten years of absence, you are now...really very capable."

Although the voice was delicate and gentle, Jiang Qingwu was startled and his thoughts seemed to have gone back to ten years ago.

It was as if I saw that hideous and terrifying face and heard that soul-shaking roar!
