Chapter 178: Civil Unrest in Shang

Ye Chen looked at the letter left by Meizi in his hand. The familiar handwriting was like a sharp needle, piercing his heart. He knew that he could no longer hesitate. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, he was determined to get Meizi back.

In the palace of Shang State, the king was furious when he learned that Ye Chen had escaped from marriage. His majestic face was distorted by anger, and his eyes were flashing with angry fire. "How dare this Ye Chen be so bold!" The king roared angrily. He immediately ordered that Ye Chen must be brought back, regardless of life or death.

For a time, the Shang Kingdom fell into chaos. Soldiers searched everywhere in the city for Ye Chen's traces, and the streets were filled with a tense atmosphere. The people also talked about this matter, and were surprised and curious about Ye Chen's escape from marriage.

On his way out of the city, Ye Chen carefully avoided the pursuit of the soldiers. Not long after he left the city gate, he heard the hurried sound of horse hooves and shouts from behind: "Don't let Ye Chen run away!" He looked back and saw a group of soldiers on horseback chasing him.

Ye Chen quickened his pace and ran forward desperately. He used the trees and grass on the roadside to cover his figure and tried to get rid of the pursuers. However, the soldiers were chasing him closely, and their arrows kept flying past Ye Chen, and the situation was very critical.

At this moment, a mysterious team suddenly appeared. They were dressed in black, their faces covered, and rushed towards the pursuers from the side. The leader shouted, "Protect Ye Chen!" They fought fiercely with the soldiers and bought time for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen took the opportunity to continue running away. He didn't know who these mysterious people were, but his heart was full of gratitude. He ran in the darkness, towards the unknown front, with firm belief and endless courage.

In the palace of Shang State, the king became even more angry when he learned that Ye Chen had the help of a mysterious person. He ordered to intensify the pursuit and sent people to investigate the origins of these mysterious people.

The civil unrest in Shang State escalated due to Ye Chen's escape from marriage, and riots began to occur in various places.

The Conspiracy of the Imperial Master

In Shang State, a storm is quietly brewing. Ye Chen resolutely escapes from marriage in order to pursue Meizi. This incident plunges the entire Shang State into chaos, but the national teacher sees a great opportunity in this chaos.

The Imperial Master, a man with ulterior motives, has a great desire for power. He has been secretly observing the situation, waiting for an opportunity to realize his ambitions. Now, the escape of Ye Chen and Meizi has left the palace empty, and the King is so angry that he is caught up in the pursuit of Ye Chen and has no time to take care of other things. The Imperial Master thinks that the opportunity he has been waiting for has finally arrived.

That night, the moonlight was dim and the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if foreshadowing an impending storm. The Imperial Master quietly came to a secret hut, which was the meeting place he had agreed with Nie Bo in advance. Nie Bo was an ambitious general from a neighboring country who had always coveted the rich land and wealth of Shang.

When the Imperial Master entered the hut, Nie Bo had been waiting there for a long time. "Imperial Master, you are finally here," Nie Bo said impatiently.

The national teacher smiled slightly, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes: "General Nie, the time has come. Now that Ye Chen and Meizi have fled, the Shang Kingdom's court is empty, and the king is overwhelmed by this matter, it is a good time for us to take action."

Nie Bo rubbed his hands excitedly: "Great! Then what should we do specifically?"

The Imperial Master approached Nie Bo and said in a low voice, "I have learned about the military deployment of the Shang Kingdom. We can first send an elite force to sneak into the Shang Kingdom through a small road, and then go straight to the capital. The defense of the capital is relatively weak now, and we have a great chance to break through it in one fell swoop."

Nie Bo nodded: "Well, this plan is good. But the army of Shang Kingdom is not a pushover, so we still have to be careful."

The state teacher smiled sinisterly: "Don't worry, General Nie. I will create some chaos within the Shang Kingdom to distract their attention. At the same time, I will also win over some forces that are dissatisfied with the king and make them turn against him at the critical moment. In this way, our chances of winning will be greater."

"Okay, then it all depends on the National Master." Nie Bo said, "As long as we can successfully occupy Shang State, the benefits will definitely not be missed out on the National Master."

The Imperial Master smiled with satisfaction: "Then I wish our cooperation a success."

The two discussed the specific action plan in detail in the hut, including the troops' route, attack time, and the arrangement of internal support, etc. After the discussion, the national teacher hurriedly left the hut and returned to the palace.

The Imperial Master returned to the palace and began to implement his plan. He first found some officials who were dissatisfied with the King and secretly colluded with them. "Everyone, the King has lost his composure because of Ye Chen's matter. Our chance has come." The Imperial Master said to these officials.

"Master, what are your plans?" asked an official.

The state teacher smiled mysteriously: "We can unite and give the king a fatal blow at the critical moment. As long as we help General Nie Bo successfully occupy the Shang Kingdom, we will all be rewarded handsomely."

Under the temptation of the imperial master, these officials expressed their willingness to cooperate. The imperial master used his power to secretly mobilize the deployment of some troops to create favorable conditions for Nie Bo's invasion.

Meanwhile, Nie Bo also started to act according to the plan. He led an elite force and quietly marched towards the Shang Kingdom under the cover of night. Along the way, they carefully avoided the patrols of the Shang Kingdom and quickly approached the capital.

Although the Shang Kingdom seemed calm on the surface, there were actually undercurrents. The people also felt the tense atmosphere in the air and speculated about what was about to happen.

Ye Chen and Meizi were still on the run at this time, and they knew nothing about the crisis that Shangguo was about to face. Ye Chen only wanted to find Meizi, and Meizi was silently accompanying him. They didn't know that their actions had become the fuse of this conspiracy.

As time went by, Nie Bo's troops were getting closer and closer to the capital. The Imperial Master was closely following the development of the situation in the palace. He constantly passed on intelligence from the palace to Nie Bo to provide support for their actions.

Finally, before dawn one day, Nie Bo's troops arrived outside the capital. They quietly surrounded the capital, waiting for the best time to attack.

When the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, Nie Bo issued an order to attack. Soldiers rushed to the capital like a tide, shouting and killing. The defenders of Shang were caught off guard by this sudden attack and fell into chaos for a while.

The Imperial Master heard the shouting and killing outside the palace and was secretly pleased with himself. He knew that his plan was halfway successful. He immediately led the officials who colluded with him to take the opportunity to create chaos in the palace in an attempt to seize power.

The king was horrified when he learned that his capital was attacked. He immediately organized his army to resist, but because he was not prepared in advance, the situation was very unfavorable to him. "What is going on?" the king asked angrily.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid someone is colluding with us from both inside and outside, and we have fallen into the enemy's trap." said a loyal minister.

The king calmed down and thought about how to deal with it. He knew that the situation must be stabilized as soon as possible, otherwise the Shang Kingdom would face a catastrophe.

On the battlefield of the capital, the two sides fought fiercely. Although the soldiers of the Shang Kingdom fought bravely, Nie Bo's troops were strong and well-prepared, and the defenders of the Shang Kingdom gradually fell into trouble.
