"Young prince, young prince …"

Zuo Si rushed into Shang Qiuyuan's study room in a daze. Originally, this was the study room of the palace, located side by side for nine days. Shang Qiuyuan did not raise his eyes, but continued to stand before the table in a horse stance, his wrist dangling as he wrote a brush.

Usually, he was very shrewd and scheming, but now, there were tears in his eyes. His face was pale and his mouth was purple. His body could not help but tremble.

After barging in, he could no longer hold on and sat on the ground, looking at Shang Qiuyuan with a gaze of despair and indignation.

"What is the matter, advisor?" barge into this place without waiting for the report? "

There was no anger or joy in Shang Qiuyuan's tone, it was indifferent without even looking at Zuo Si.

He already knew everything that had happened, including the nine days of death in the palace shoulder to shoulder and the edict that had yet to reach this place. He also knew that the current government was temporarily under Ji Tian Ning's control. He also knew that the commander of the Wind Chaser Cavalry, Yan Zhen, was Ji Tian Ning's assistant.

When he received the news, he really wanted to immediately return to the Southern Champion Ancestor Dragon, but he could not leave this place.

"Ning'er, I can only help you the most by staying here. It's just that I've troubled you, so I don't know how you did it." "Ning'er, I'm proud of you. Wait for me. I'll be back soon."

"Young prince …"

Zuo Si couldn't speak, only now did Shang Qiuyuan's gaze slowly move to Zuo Si's face, "But what happened to Zu Long?"

"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness … Heavens... It's done! "

"Pa Da …"

The brush in Shang Qiuyuan's hand fell on the written brush, the ink soaking the elegant calligraphy.

"What did you say?"

His calm face turned pale and he clenched his fists tightly. He walked up to Zuo Si and grabbed her collar. "Say it again, how is father?"

"A secret report from our ancestor. His highness was killed, killed by the Emperor."

Zuo Si's tears fell like rain, he could no longer control his emotions, and he crawled on the ground, repressed his tears and began to cry. The Nine Heavens Palace was the God in his heart. The master he had devoted his life to was the target of his life.

Hearing this news, he fainted and vomited blood. However, he was unable to change this result.

He raised his head and looked at Shang Qiuyuan with teary eyes, "Young Prince, you have to avenge the Prince, you have to avenge the Prince, ah."

He extended his arms and tightly embraced Shang Qiuyuan's legs, kneeling at her feet. "As long as Your Highness is willing to take revenge for Your Highness, this subject shall pledge my life in aid and allegiance to Your Highness. Young Prince, I beg you, in consideration of the kindness that you owe the Prince, you must seek justice for him! "

"Bang bang …"

He did not know that he was kowtowing on the ground in pain. He only hoped that Shang Qiu was willing to take revenge for the King who stood side by side, but he no longer cared about his own life.

He didn't care about rebellion, conspiracy, and the extermination of the nine clans. His eyes were bloodshot, because whoever killed him, who stood side by side with the nine heavens, he would avenge the nine heavens. Even if that person was the Emperor of the Southern Champion Kingdom.

A deep grief appeared in Shang Qiuyuan's eyes. He had long since known about Gong Jiu's death, and even knew the outcome of this matter. He was also sad for the death of Gong Jiu Jiu, but that was inevitable. He was powerless to stop it, just like how he couldn't stop the Fire Reversal Scales from taking Ji Tian Ning away.

Today, he was only putting on an act in front of Zuo Si, but his heart wasn't without sorrow.

He had never forgotten the kindness that Gong Jiu had shown him. The king who once shook the world, the man who stood side by side, had quietly left just like that.

"Tell me exactly what happened."

He did not know much about the details of the matter. He had just found out that someone was killed after entering the Nine Heavens Palace, so the rest of the information had yet to reach him.

"Young prince, you must avenge for the prince." Young prince, you must avenge for the prince. As for the elite soldiers left behind by the prince, this subject can order them all to serve the young prince and support him. As long as you, young prince, are willing to send troops to avenge the young prince, then I am willing to be ungrateful and do my best to serve the young prince. "

"Zuo Si, Royal Father's death will not end like this. Royal Father has treated me with such a heavy kindness. I will not let my Royal Father die because he betrayed me and leave behind an eternal curse. However, right now that my royal father has returned to the heavens, I'm afraid that the hearts of the warriors left behind by my royal father will be wavering. Many will have distracting thoughts and are unwilling to listen to my commands. "

"Young prince, don't worry. Your subordinate has always been indebted to you. Now that you've been killed, the soldiers will certainly give their all to avenge your highness."

"Zuo Si, this is only your one-sided wish. It must be known that these soldiers' roots are in the Southern Champion Kingdom, and their families are also in the Southern Champion Kingdom. "If His Majesty was willing to pardon them and retain their official positions, how many people do you think would be willing to rebel and take revenge for our royal father?"

Zuo Si was instantly speechless. If that was really the case, then it was really hard to say.

If there was a king side by side, with just a command, everyone would listen. Even if they rebelled, no one would dare to hesitate. However, once the King of Shoulders was no longer present, who could command the three armies?

"Young prince, this subject is confused. May I know what you have in mind?"

"Who knows anything about the prince?"

"Only this official knows, I dare not reveal it, lest it cause chaos in the army."

"When you gather all the generals here, speak of the King's orders and have them come here to discuss urgent military matters."

"Young prince, you mean …"

"Only in this way will they have no choice but to obey my commands and follow us to avenge their prince without any ill intentions. If this is not the case, and if this is not the case, then there is nothing I can do about it. "

"This subject remembers that the young prince said a few days ago that the prince was in danger and ordered his concubines, who were pregnant, to be hidden away. This subject is stupid. How did the young prince know about this?" I would like to ask the young prince to enlighten me as to why I should be so puzzled. "

Shang Qiuyuan's elegant face was filled with pain, "Zusi, before Royal Father left, I had repeatedly reminded Royal Father to be careful, lest this was a scheme set up by the Emperor. However, I do not have any evidence. If the emperor is truly dead, then Royal Father can just go back and establish a new king who can take over all the authority. However, two days ago, my heart suddenly ached. That night was the night when royal father entered the palace. "

He did not believe the words Shang Qiuyuan told him a few days ago, but now that he recalled it, it all came true.

"That night, I suddenly had a nightmare. Royal Father, covered in blood, stood in front of me. I never thought that it would actually be true. I have received great kindness from my royal father, and I only wish that I could grow wings and fly back to my ancestral dragon … "

Two streams of clear tears slid down Shang Qiuyuan's face. He turned his head and raised his sleeve to wipe away the tears.

Zuo Si's heart trembled. He had long since heard that when Shang Qiuyuan heard about the extermination of his entire clan and the slaughter of his parents and wife, he did not shed a tear. His black hair had turned silver in just one night's worth of frost.

"Young prince, are you truly seeking justice for your highness, avenging your highness?"

"The Military Advisor can trust me, but he can also bring troops to avenge his father. Even if I am only one person, I won't let my father die like this while bearing the burden of treason. I will be scolded by my descendants."

"Young prince, please forgive me. Since this is the case, please give me your order. This subject will obey no one. I will obey your order and will not dare to disobey it."

"Do not expose my royal father's secret. I want to mobilize my personal guards here to prevent any changes. Go and give the order that the King sent a secret order from Zu Long for the generals and deputy generals to come and discuss and for them to come here immediately. "Also, if you still refuse to hand over the rights that you should have, I'll bring people back to the city and not bother about this anymore."

Zuo Si's body trembled slightly as she raised her head to look at Shang Qiuyuan.

His deep and piercing eyes were like the cold stars on a winter night, seeming to have already seen through his heart.

"Now that Your Highness has gone, I am your son. I will take over your position as the prince's soldier. All of this will be handed to you as if I was your servant. I hope that Your Highness will not disappoint me."

"I will never disappoint myself, nor will I disappoint you."

"This official will take his leave. I shall go and receive the young prince's order."

Shang Qiuyuan sent Zuo Si off with his gaze, immediately calling for the Golden Armor and the others, issuing out orders one by one.

He already knew that the Nine Heavens Palace had been killed, and even more so knew that they would very soon have the order to bury him. He wanted to make use of this time gap to seize the opportunity to take control of the Nine Heavens Palace's troops. Once the imperial edict arrived, it wouldn't be so easy to take over the military power.

"Ning'er, I don't know if you understand the seriousness of this matter. As smart as you are, you must understand this. You will definitely delay the day when I deliver the imperial edict to Fengyuan and buy me some time. "How should I deal with this? How should I do it? I've already asked the people you sent to deliver my secret letter back to you. We both have a mutual understanding. I hope the heavens can help me."

The death of Gong Jiu had dealt him too much of a blow. If it were not for the fact that he still had the intention of avenging Gong Jiu's death in his heart, he would have already fallen.

In the name of Gong Jiu Jiu, he first sent people to gather all the generals from different places to return to Ping Cheng. At this time, Shang Qiuyuan secretly ordered the original generals of Fengyuan to take over the city guarded by the Nine Heavens Palace generals.

Not only did they recall all the generals under the command of the Nine Heavens Palace, they also recalled a lot of elite soldiers.

This was the first step, to control the generals under the command of the Nine Heavens Palace, so that these people would not be able to cause trouble. The second step was to transfer his elite troops and take control of the city. Then, he would take the city and the fertile land back into his own hands.

Although the generals did not understand why the King of Shoulder had returned to the Southern Champion Kingdom and why such a military order had still been passed down, ordering the generals to bring their elite troops back to Pingcheng to await orders, no one dared to slack off. Upon receiving the military order, they immediately got up and returned to Pingcheng.

At the same time, Shang Qiuyuan also ordered the originally surrendered Fengyuan soldiers to act according to his military order. They continued to stand by their own encampment without moving, waiting for their military order.

In just a day and a night, the flat city had fallen into the hands of Shang Qiuyuan. It turned out that the elite soldiers of the Nine Heavens Palace had been ordered to stay in the barracks to await orders.
