Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

When Ji Hua appeared on the top of the Tiangong city wall holding Ji You's head, and had people take out the forged letters and show them to the ministers in front of the palace gate, rumors began to spread in the city that Ji You was colluding with foreign enemies.

Ji Hua looked down at the heads below, feeling so cruel as to shoot them to pieces with a crossbow.

In order to hide the cruelty in his eyes, Ji Hua raised his head and looked into the distance. Thinking of Yao Jun who was just outside the city and the nearly 200,000 alien coalition forces that were about to arrive, the corners of his mouth curled up.

I don't believe you still have that kind of luck. You will definitely die this time!

The smoke from the war in the distance rose straight into the clouds. Ji Hua narrowed his eyes. It would take at least three days for those princes to arrive. At this time, they just needed to defend Yujing.

As for Mr. Yao and the Yao country’s army outside the city, let’s not care whether they live or die!

It would be better if they were all dead!

Ji Hua stood on the top of the city wall for a while, then turned around and walked down, came to the palace gate, and ordered people to open it.

As the gate of the Heavenly Palace opened, Ji Hua, with the imperial guards protecting him, walked up to the Three Dukes, the General, the General of the Cavalry, and other ministers, as well as the elders of the Ji family.

He waved his hand and asked someone to hand the letters to them, then Ji Hua lowered his head and looked at his toes with hesitation, thinking in his heart how to defeat the defenders of Yujing.

Even if we cannot take it, we must prevent them from opening the city gates and letting the Yao Kingdom army enter the city.

Wei Fang looked at the letter in his hand, which was written in Northern Barbarian and Great Auspicious language, and felt somewhat strange.

For a person like Ji You, does he have the guts to collude with foreign enemies?

This question not only appeared in Wei Fang's mind, but also in the minds of many ministers, but no one raised it now.

After handing the letter back to the imperial guards in front of him, Wei Fang pondered for a moment and asked, "Now that foreign tribes have invaded, the emperor should come forward, right?"

This seemed like a question, but in fact it was forcing Ji Hua to let the emperor come forward. Moreover, it would be unacceptable for the emperor not to come forward for such an important event, unless something unexpected had happened.

Ji Hua was waiting for this moment. The corners of his mouth turned down, his head lowered, and a sad expression appeared on his face. The imperial guards behind him also looked the same.

An elder of the Ji clan had a bad feeling and asked hurriedly, "What happened to the emperor?"

Ji Hua wiped away a few crocodile tears from the corners of his eyes and said sadly: "Brother has been imprisoned in the bamboo forest by Ji You these days. Except for sending food and medicine soup in, no one is allowed to approach."

"When I went to deliver the medicine just now, I saw my brother... he was vomiting black blood. He has... passed away!"

In an instant, there was deathly silence outside the palace gate!

Even the three ministers who had always been calm couldn't help but tremble their faces, and their brows were furrowed like mountains.

Hearing this, the generals looked at Ji Hua and the imperial guards behind him with murderous intent.

Ji You imprisoned the emperor, this is not a joke!

Now everyone knows that the Heavenly Palace is controlled by Ji Hua!

Although everyone knows the truth, there is no evidence now, and Ji Hua has pushed everything onto Ji You. Moreover, there are external enemies now, and this is not the time for internal strife.

All the generals were suppressing the murderous intent in their hearts and did not look at Ji Hua well.

The three dukes and the elders of the clan are naturally aware of this. What Yujing needs now is stability, and there cannot be any more chaos at this time.

Ji Hua controls most of the imperial guards in the Heavenly Palace, at least five thousand soldiers.

Although there were about 20,000 defenders in Yujing City and the city guards, and another 70,000 guards in the nearby Acropolis, they could not move rashly at this time.

They could only deal with Ji Hua after they had dealt with the aliens who had entered the pass. Everyone looked at each other and saw the deep meaning in each other's eyes.

Besides this, there is something more important at the moment.

The emperor is dead!

Who will be responsible for the funeral, when will it be held, who will collect the body, where should the body be placed, etc., and the posthumous title also needs to be discussed.

And now we don’t know what happened to the queen, and there is also the question of who will inherit the throne. These are all big issues!

Just thinking about it sends chills down one's spine.

In the end, it was the three dukes and the elders of the clan who stood up, and it was only them who stood up.

Wei Fang was the first to speak: "I will coordinate the defense against foreign races. I will leave the rest to you. This is the most urgent problem to be solved right now."

"For other matters, except the succession to the throne, we should first consult the Queen. I wonder if she knows that the Emperor has passed away."

After Wei Fang finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to Ji Hua.

Ji Hua still has a sad look on his face. Although he is cruel, tyrannical, and moody, he respects his eldest sister-in-law who raised him and treats her like his own mother!

Seeing everyone looking over, Ji Hua led his men to clear the way to the Heavenly Palace and said, "The queen is fine. The news of the emperor's death should not have been known yet."

After a pause, Ji Hua's mind flashed with the faces of his mother and sister-in-law. A look of guilt appeared on his face, but it quickly disappeared. He said, "I'll take people to help my brother collect his body."

The elder shook his head and said, "Just let someone lead the way. The emperor's funeral is the responsibility of the historian and the ancestral temple, so let them go."

After saying this, the elders all sighed, frowned, and thought about what might happen next.

Ji Hua didn't say much. He turned around and led Tai Shi and others into the Heavenly Palace and walked towards the bamboo forest.

Afterwards, the ministers and elders, led by the imperial guards, went to meet the queen to discuss the next steps.

In a blink of an eye, only Wei Fang and the generals were left in front of the palace gate. They did not follow them, not only because they had important matters to attend to, but they also did not dare to take the risk themselves, as if the Heavenly Palace was a den of dragons and tigers at this time.

In Yujing City, as rumors spread, more and more people knew the news of the emperor's death, including Jun Ye's people, secret envoys, and secret guards.

As several falcons flew into the sky, the news also reached Yao Jun's ears.

Yao Jun stood by the Pei River, gazing at the sparkling river surface with a deep gaze.

"My brother brought me here to catch fish when I was a kid."

Ji Fei bowed his head: "My Lord, I mourn for you."

Yao Jun sighed and said, "His health is not good to begin with, and he doesn't have many years left to live. Tell me, why are they torturing him? Wouldn't it be better to just let him go in peace?"

Holding the long sword at his waist, Yao Jun walked slowly along the river bank. As he walked, the armor on his body made crisp sounds.

"Ji Hua testified that it was Ji You who planned all this, imprisoned the emperor, killed the emperor, and colluded with foreign enemies. Who would believe it?" Yao Jun looked at the soldiers in front of him who were drinking water by the river with their horses.

"That's right. It doesn't matter who believes it, as long as no one comes forward to testify against it."

Thinking of the dirty things he had seen over the years, Yao Jun's eyes turned red. In his eyes, the one who died was not the emperor, but his cousin who treated him like a brother.

"No matter what others think, even if there is no evidence, I will take revenge!"

Ji Fei and his guards saluted and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "We swear to follow our lord till death!"

After walking along the river bank for a while, Yao Jun led his men back to the central military tent. Coincidentally, a secret messenger brought back news from the border.

After reading the contents on the cloth, Yao Jun handed it to the attendant beside him and asked him to circulate it to the generals in the tent.

"Now it has been confirmed that someone did open the city gate in the middle of the night and let the foreigners in. It's just that there weren't as many as 300,000, but it was definitely no less than 150,000!"

"All of them are light cavalry, equipped with bows and scimitars."

"At present, they are probably divided into two groups. One group has about 50,000 soldiers and horses, composed of various tribes of the Qiang people. They are heading towards the border of Yao Kingdom."

"Another group of soldiers, numbering over 100,000, is heading towards Yujing!"

Yao Jun looked at Ji Fei and said, "Send out all the spies. I want to know where this force is now, the exact number of troops, the composition of the troops, and the approximate amount of food and fodder!"

Glancing at the generals in the tent, Yao Jun said in a deep voice: "Be prepared for not being able to enter Yujing to resist foreign invaders, and also be prepared for having no backup!"

"Have the Four Elephant Cavalry polish their armor, sharpen their weapons, and be ready to attack with me at any time!"

"Finally, be careful of the princes coming to support you!"

Yao Jun narrowed his eyes, with a cold scarlet light flashing in his eyes.
