The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

With the in-depth advancement of the negotiations between the two countries, the initial intention of forming an alliance has been determined, and three days have passed in a flash.

Xiao Rui thought that when Yan Linglong gave up on finding the black hands in the mission, she finally took the first step.

After receiving the information from Shao Yao, she, who was born in the Women's Army, seemed to be the bridge for Xiao Rui and Yan Linglong's secret meeting.

After reading the information in his hand, Xiao Rui showed a smile. He handed the information to Jia Xu and asked, "Sir, if the black hands of the mission group want to do something, what method will they use?"

Jia Xu saw the information, which described Yan Linglong's plan in detail, step by step, and intertwined. Jia Xu replied: "The gangsters in the mission want to kill Yan Linglong and make sure to form an alliance with Daxia, so the best The way is to kill people with a knife! If Da Zhao or Da Qi is the one to do it, after Yan Linglong dies, Da Xia will not be able to protect Da Xia, so Dayan will have an advantage in forming an alliance! But I think, in the past few days, the mission will be black hands It is impossible to contact the assassins of Da Qi or Da Zhao, so they will pretend."

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "I think so too! Then follow Yan Linglong's plan. It seems that I still need to do it myself."

Afterwards, Xiao Rui left the palace, went to Zhang Jinfu, and asked him to do something for him. After that, he went to the Champion Hou's Mansion to find Zhuge Yuanba, and asked him to help with one thing.

And when Xiao Rui was acting, Yan Linglong was not idle either.

She was discussing Daxia's request for an alliance with Lan Junbo and Huang Qiusheng, and Du Juan was by her side. But Yan Linglong was a little absent-minded, always in a trance.

"Did the princess not rest last night? Why don't you rest first, and we can discuss it tomorrow?" the elder Huang Qiusheng said.

Lan Junbo also said: "Yes, princess, you should rest first!"

Yan Linglong came back to her senses and said: "Okay, then I will trouble the two deputy envoys to discuss it together again. Let's see how to lobby Da Xia. Their request is too big and exceeds our budget."

"Yes!" Lan Junbo and Huang Qiusheng responded in unison.

The two got up to leave, Yan Linglong suddenly said to Du Juan: "Du Juan, prepare some rice cakes for me tomorrow morning."

Du Juan was taken aback for a moment, then thought of something, and said, "Yes, princess!"

Yan Linglong watched the three of them leave, her lost expression instantly regained her composure.

the next day.

Zhang Jinfu, the Marquis of Zhongyong, came to the other courtyard suddenly, and he came to look for Baiyun Mountain. Of course, he had to pay a visit to Princess Linglong first.

"Your Highness, the princess, I saw Commander Bai's martial arts in the hall that day, and I was fascinated immediately!" Zhang Jinfu smiled and said, "I am here to pay a special visit today, and I would like to ask the princess to agree. I would like to invite Commander Bai to my patrol camp. I, Da Xiaerlang, know that there are people beyond people, and mountains beyond mountains!"

Du Juan pretending to be a princess was taken aback for a moment, she didn't know how to answer this matter, should she agree or not? This is the second-rank military marquis of the Great Xia Kingdom, ranking third among the twelve great military marquises.

Du Juan could only stabilize him first, and said: "Master Hou, please drink tea first, I will order someone to invite Commander Bai."

Taking advantage of the emptiness, Du Juan immediately asked Yan Linglong.

Yan Linglong looked at Lan Junbo and Huang Qiusheng, asking for their opinions.

After thinking about it, Huang Qiusheng said: "It's best to refuse politely. After all, during this trip to Great Summer, only Bai Commander is a fifth-rank master. Although there are other fourth-rank, third-rank masters and forbidden soldiers, once the assassin is in the fifth-rank realm, rush in." It will be very dangerous! We can’t fully trust Daxia’s Imperial Army either.”

Yan Linglong said: "Yes, what Huang Lao said is reasonable! It's just that Zhang Jinfu has a lot of background, so he refused rashly. We must find a suitable reason, otherwise it will appear that we, Dayan, look down on him and are doing evil for no reason. Master Lan, what do you think? "

Lan Junbo thought for a while and said, "I also agree with Mr. Huang's idea, but as the princess said, this loyal and brave marquis is not easy. It is best to make friends and not create gaps. Or, ask Commander Bai for his opinion. ? If he wants to go, he will have to trouble the Imperial Army of Daxia to strictly guard the interior of the other courtyard, and the princess cannot go out."

Yan Linglong looked at Lan Junbo, seeing his questioning face, Yan Linglong hesitated for a moment, and said: "Okay, let's ask Commander Bai's opinion first!"

After returning to the living room, Baiyun Mountain came.

Hearing the purpose of Zhang Jinfu's trip, Bai Yunshan glanced at Yan Linglong, and said, "Your Highness, since the loyal and brave Marquis has kindly invited you, if you don't go at the end, won't it appear that we, Yan Linglong, are cowardly?"

Yan Linglong frowned, as if there was something hard to say, then looked at Lan Junbo and Huang Qiusheng, Lan Junbo nodded slightly, while Huang Qiusheng shook his head secretly.

Yan Linglong looked at Baiyun Mountain at last, and said: "Since the Marquis Zhongyong came to visit in person, then you go, don't lose the prestige of Dayan."

"Your Highness, don't worry!" Bai Yunshan cupped his fists and shouted, and then called the deputy commander of the imperial guards, a middle-aged man of the fourth rank, and asked him to guard well and forbid anyone to go out or intrude.

After Baiyunshan left, Yan Linglong went back to her room to rest due to her physical discomfort. After noon, Lan Junbo was worried about Yan Linglong's health, so he specially asked Du Juan to deliver a bowl of hot porridge.

Then Yan Linglong told Du Juan that she didn't have lunch due to her poor appetite and was going to sleep for a while, and there was no order forbidding people to disturb her.

Rhododendron leads the way

There is a Guangyuan Temple in Beicheng District of the capital. The temple is majestic and there are many pilgrims. Every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, there must be a grand festival of offering incense, and the pilgrims don't realize it.

In the backyard of Guangyuan Temple, there is a stupa, which enshrines the relics of eminent monks who have passed away, and countless chrysanthemums are planted on the ground.

At this time, it has entered autumn, and the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, so it is very quiet and elegant.

Unlike the lively scene in the front hall, the pagoda is dedicated to the relics of eminent monks, so outsiders are forbidden to enter, so there is usually no one here.

At this time, a man in plain clothes, wearing a bamboo hat, and carrying a bamboo basket walked in.

After entering, she took off her bamboo hat, revealing that she was Yan Linglong.

She walked to the chrysanthemum bushes, took out joss sticks, rice cakes and ghost papers from the bamboo basket, lit the joss sticks, arranged the rice cakes, and knelt to the south to burn the ghost papers.

It turned out that today was her mother's memorial day.

Her mother loved to eat rice cakes and chrysanthemums, so she would pray in the place where chrysanthemums bloom every year on festival days. This year has come to the big summer, and in the capital, the chrysanthemums in the backyard of Guangyuan Temple are quite famous.

This can also explain why she was in a trance during the day yesterday.

She didn't tell anyone around her, so she came alone. But according to Yan Linglong's speculation, Du Juan has served her for many years, so he should have guessed her behavior.

So

Haloxylon

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps woke Yan Linglong who was in a daze, and saw more than a dozen men in black suddenly climbed over the wall and entered the backyard, all of them holding bright sharp knives, trampling on the chrysanthemums and rushing towards Yan Linglong.

coming!

Yan Linglong got up and looked at these people coldly, showing no intention of running away.

Seeing that the assassin was about to approach, arrow feathers suddenly shot out from the pagoda next to them. Because of the abruptness, the assassins couldn't react in time, and the two assassins were instantly pierced through the chest by the arrow feathers!

"Not good! I've been tricked!" The leading assassin shouted angrily, and then shouted: "Kill! Kill Yan Linglong!"

Assassins are even crazier.

Yan Linglong was not afraid at all, she had given her life to Xiao Rui at this moment.

At this time, two people jumped out of the pagoda.

It was Zhuge Yuanba and Wu Zhanfa, without saying a word, they rushed towards the assassin with their weapons in hand, and they fought in an instant.

The leader of the assassins was stabbed in the left shoulder by Zhuge Yuanba's sword, and he was so frightened that he backed up again and again, exclaiming: "Fifth-rank realm? How is it possible!"

This person is only at the fourth-rank level. He originally thought that the assassination of Yan Linglong would be successful, because the fifth-rank Baiyun Mountain was not there. Looking at the patrol camp he entered, it was impossible to appear here. I didn't expect this to be a trap to lure you into the urn!

There is even a fifth-rank master!
