In the third year of Qing Tianyou, the Taiping King participated in the court meeting. The cabinet ministers Li Lian, Wang Qi and others embezzled and embezzled military pay, resulting in insufficient military equipment at the border. He also colluded with foreigners to sell food, grass and weapons secretly. …

Dozens of charges, large and small, are displayed in the hall one by one, and they have been verified, and the evidence of the crime is conclusive.

The emperor was furious, and immediately ordered severe punishment, and ordered the Minister of the Household Department to thoroughly investigate his party members in the court, so as to correct the atmosphere of the court.

For a time, everyone who had contacts with Li Wang was in danger.

This turbulent wave turned the capital upside down, but Nan Wang and his son far away in the south of the Lingnan never heard the slightest news. It was not until Taiping Wang, who was ordered by the emperor to arrest him and bring him back to Beijing for trial, led his army to suppress the situation, that he realized that the disaster was imminent.

Nanwang has been entrenched in the south of the Five Ridges for many years, has trained countless private soldiers, is powerful, and occupies a geographical advantage.

The matter has come to this point, and obviously there is no room for change. After some consideration, the King of Nan simply decided to take up the pole on the spot, intending to fight back and kill King Taiping, and then take advantage of the unstable situation to directly capture the capital, take the emperor, and occupy the throne!

Is the so-called wealth and risk seeking.

For the throne above ten thousand people, King Nan has obviously gone mad.

Of course, no matter how crazy he was, Nan Wang wouldn't be able to leave no way out for himself.

Whether this move can be successful is still unknown, if it fails, he will surely die.

But the crown prince still has a chance to survive, and to continue to fulfill his lifelong wish for him, to take back the throne that should belong to them from that hateful yellow-haired boy.

As long as there is still a chance to realize this wish, even if it is death, he can die in peace.

It's a pity that his every move has long been under Chu Xiao's control, and even if he tries his best, he can't change the established ending.

It's just a joke.

The closer it was to closing the net, Chu Xiao became calmer and calmer.

He had already set off for Lingnan early on, but he was not in a hurry to act. He patiently lurked around Nanwang's mansion, monitoring the disturbances in Nanwang's mansion every day, and watched Nanwang's dying struggle with cold eyes.

Not yet.

He has to wait for the right time.

An opportunity that can push Nan Wang into the abyss of despair, and make Nan Wang suffer for every minute and second he lives.

Fortunately, the waiting process is not long.

When a carriage quietly left from the back door of the palace, Chu Xiao knew that the moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

"The dragon guard listened to the order—"

"Subordinates are here!"

"Block the Nanwang Mansion to death, and don't let a fish slip through the net."

Eh?

Wu Gui, who originally thought that Chu Xiao was about to order an attack, looked suspicious, and couldn't help asking: "It's just a blockade, why don't you just attack?"

Although there are many guards in the Nanwangfu, most of them are ordinary in strength, only a few can be called masters, and they are not opponents of the Dragon Guards at all. It is not difficult for them to break through the Nanwangfu.

And if you attack directly, you can catch the opponent by surprise.

According to Wu Gui's estimate, they would be able to take down the entire Nanwang Mansion in less than half an hour.

So, why give up the offensive, and instead adopt a method of siege that will scare the enemy and waste time?

Chu Xiao smiled, and said in an indescribably playful tone, "Do you know why the cat doesn't just eat the mouse after it catches it?"

Probably because of bad taste...

Wu Gui twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling extremely tired.

After holding it in for so long, I was finally able to do a big thing to have a good time, but because my master suddenly had a bad taste, I had to continue to endure it. It feels really bad, hey!

"Don't be upset." Chu Xiao raised his hand and patted Wu Gui's shoulder: "I'll give you a more interesting task."

"What mission..."

Wu Gui felt a little unmotivated.

After all, most of the time, the so-called fun in Chu Xiao's mouth means more troublesome troubles to him.

"Dianhong has already gone to block Nanwang Shizi, after he brings him back, you will take Nanwang Shizi to threaten Nanwang."

"Any kind of threat is okay?"

As soon as his eyes lit up, Wu Gui suddenly raised his spirits.

Playing the 'bad guy' was his favorite thing to do besides messing around.

"Well, as long as you don't kill the hostage Prince Nan, you can do whatever you want."

Chu Xiao's purpose has always been just revenge.

He wanted to feed back all the pain and hatred that King Nan had inflicted on him.

In order to get the throne, Nan Wang can kill his own siblings—but what about his son?

Wu Gui took the order, and excitedly led his troops to surround the Nanwang Mansion, but Chu Xiao turned his head and dragged Ye Gucheng to another place.

Coincidentally, when he was wandering around the Nanwang Mansion a few days ago, he accidentally discovered the trace of an 'old friend'.

The leader of the red shoes, Gongsun Lan.

Neither the Red Shoes organization nor the name Gongsun Lan are well-known in the world, and few people know about it.

But when it comes to the pseudonyms that Gongsun Lan used when walking the rivers and lakes, there must be few people who don't know.

The female butcher, the peach blossom bee, the five poisonous lady, the ecstasy mother-in-law... and Grandma Xiong.

That's right, it's Grandma Xiong who specializes in selling poisonous chestnuts on full moon nights.

Chu Xiao has always held grudges, and after being cheated once, of course he would think about revenge.

It's a pity that the dragon guards were busy tracking down Gong Jiu's whereabouts and investigating Nan Wang's criminal evidence before, so they couldn't spare extra manpower, so they delayed this matter.

If Gongsun Lan had been disappearing and hiding far away, Chu Xiao might have magnanimously spared her.

After all, to some extent, she also helped promote the relationship between Chu Xiao and Ye Gucheng.

But Gongsun Lan was so desperate to appear in front of Chu Xiao, and seemed to have something to do with Nanwangfu... Tsk, this made Chu Xiao very helpless.

It's rare for him to be willing to show kindness, why doesn't the other party know how to cherish it?

If Gongsun Lan heard this, she would probably be so angry that she vomited blood.

Although being beaten to vomit blood seems to have no substantial difference from being angry to vomit blood.

Teaming up with Ye Gucheng, after beating Gongsun Lan and the other members of the red shoes who happened to be present to death, Chu Xiao discussed with Ye Gucheng with a smile: "Ah Cheng, you think it's better to send him to the official. Or is it better to just kill him?"

"As you like."

Ye Gucheng pinched his little lover's soft face in a funny way, and his tone was as pampering as ever.

"Then send it to the officer."

Seeing Gongsun Lan and the others lying on the ground dying, Chu Xiao showed a meaningful smile on his face, "But in case they have the opportunity to play tricks again, this martial art can't be kept."

Gongsun Lan and the others were relieved when Chu Xiao said that he was going to be sent off: "..."

Where did these two evil gods come from!

Ye Gucheng always doesn't mind breaking some insignificant little rules for his little lover.

For example, to use a sword against this group of women who have no strength to resist for the time being, but all of them deserve to die.

So as soon as Chu Xiao made his decision, he took the sword and walked towards Gongsun Lan and the others, intending to destroy their tendons and hamstrings directly.

The most straightforward and direct way to disable people's martial arts is actually to destroy their dantians, but in Ye Gucheng's view, destroying these people's dantians is obviously not enough to make them completely lose their ability to 'counterattack'.

He knew what these women were up to.

As long as they can run and move, even if they don't have martial arts, they may continue to cause harm everywhere with their faces and brains.

It is safer to directly abolish the hands and feet.

"Wait! You, who are you guys? Why did you do such a cruel thing to us weak girls?!"

Gongsun Lan panicked, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, she curled up and trembled.

That lovely and pitiful appearance is enough to soften the hearts of most men in this world.

To be honest, if he hadn't checked the other party with his eyes and knew how many lives the other party had in his hands, Chu Xiao, who has always been weak against beauties, might have softened his heart.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

Femme fatales have never been his thing.

Not to mention Ye Gucheng.

No matter how beautiful Gongsun Lan was, in his eyes, she was probably no different from a stone on the side of the road.

Under Gongsun Lan's stare full of resentment and unwillingness, Ye Gucheng drew his sword out of its sheath without stopping, and quickly cut off her tendons and hamstrings.

A cold light flashed, and the sharp sword tip didn't even leave a trace of blood.

After a short period of numbness, Gongsun Lan couldn't help but let out a groan from the pain in her wrist and ankle. Her brain, which was filled with hatred and sudden accident, finally regained her senses for a short time.

There is a city character in the name, and the sword technique is so unpredictable...

"You...you are Ye Gucheng!"

Her pupils constricted suddenly, and a look of panic gradually appeared on her face, which was replaced by a more venomous distortion than before: "Did Nanwang send you to kill people?!"

Chu Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, he winked at Ye Gucheng, and followed the trend: "That's right, otherwise why would we attack you when we have no grievances?"

Gongsun Lan trembled with anger, gritted her teeth and said, "Sure enough..."

Chu Xiao approached Gongsun Lan with a smile, bent down and said softly: "If you want to blame, don't blame the two of us. After all, we are also following orders, and you know how that person behaves. Even if you want to show mercy, you have to Weigh the consequences."

Hearing this, Gongsun Lan suddenly had an idea in her heart.

She wants Nan Wang to pay for this!

Forcibly suppressing the anger and hatred surging in her chest, she brewed her emotions, and the distorted expression on her face gradually became calm.

"I know you must also be forced to be helpless."

Smiling wryly and sighing, Gongsun Lan raised her head, looked straight into Chu Xiao's eyes, and said in a sad and sincere tone: "Listen to my advice, while there is still a chance, you should settle your relationship with Nan Wang as soon as possible."

"The imperial court must have the evidence of his treason before sending troops. If you continue to follow him, there will be no good end."

"Of course I understand this truth, but..."

Chu Xiao frowned, his expression was very distressed, and he also vaguely revealed a bit of fear.

Gongsun Lan really fell for it.

"Are you worried that the Tang Sect behind him will do something?"

Tangmen?

A chill quickly passed through Chu Xiao's eyes, but he still maintained a troubled expression on his face: "Yes, if it weren't for Tang Sect, why would Acheng and I have to be threatened by the King of Nan? I took his sword earlier. The head has been sent to the imperial court to surrender!"

Gongsun Lan hurriedly said: "Actually, you don't know that Nan Wang is only relying on the wife of the former head of the Tang Sect. The two of them have an affair. It is said that Nan Wang's son is the illegitimate child of both of them. You just need to put This incident tells the Tang Sect that the current Sect Master of the Tang Sect will naturally no longer serve him foolishly."

What the hell?

Chu Xiao was dumbfounded when he heard that.

Why did Nan Wang's son suddenly become the illegitimate son of Nan Wang and the wife of the former head of the Tang Sect?

Thinking that Chu Xiao didn't believe it, Gongsun Lan added: "What I said is true, it was said by the son of Prince Nan himself."

Prince Nan's son is a hunk who is greedy for beauty, and Gongsun Lan happens to be a rare beauty. The two of them are looking for sex and the other for profit, and they have had several lingering relationships in private.

This secret was revealed by Prince Nan himself when he was drunk.

From Gongsun Lan's point of view, Nan Wang Fei wanted to kill her to silence her, probably because of this reason.

That being the case, she naturally didn't need to continue to keep this secret for the other party.

Chu Xiao stood up in a trance, turned to look at Ye Gucheng, and forced a smile: "This is really unexpected... No wonder I have been investigating for so many years, and I have never been able to find out why the Tang Sect wanted to kill me. .”

Who would have thought that there would be such twists and turns behind this?

Ye Gucheng stepped forward, and kissed Chu Xiao on the brow in a comforting manner.

"Don't worry, both Nanwang and Tangmen will pay the price for this."

It's not easy for him to intervene in Nanwang's side, but in Tangmen's side, he will settle the old debt for his little lover.

Chu Xiao nodded, put his head into Ye Gucheng's chest sullenly, and muttered in a low voice: "I must get some cold poison back later, so that Nanwang and Nanwang's son can taste it."

"it is good."

"..." Chu Xiao: "I'm in a bad mood, and I don't want to waste energy sending these people to the government."

That's simple.

Ye Gucheng waved his hand without looking at it, cut off a few branches from a tree not far from him, and then activated his internal force, obliterating the lives of Gongsun Lan and others with a snap of his fingers.

The breeze was gentle, and the faint smell of blood was quickly blown away.

It's the time of the devil.

At the other end of the Nanwang Mansion, finally slowly opened the door.
