After Yun Lancang heard this, his body trembled.

The officials were in an uproar as they broke out in waves of discussions.

"The eighteen strongholds are easy to defend and hard to attack. It's been ten years and I've never broken through."

"The Lord Zhang has actually taken eighteen strongholds. This is simply too inconceivable."

"In the past few years, the 18 tribes have stolen countless gold and silver treasures. This time, the treasury is going to be filled again."

Manager Huai continued, "But something happened afterwards!"

Yun Lancang frowned: "What happened?"

Manager Huai opened his mouth, and bowed his head: "Assistant Minister Ma suddenly rebelled, seizing Lord Zhang, this humble subject secretly escaped back from the Broken Mountain."

Instantly, the entire throne room was filled with sounds of people clashing.

"Isn't Assistant Minister Ma on good terms with him?"

"Could it be that Assistant Minister Ma is greedy?"

"Lord Zhang's efforts have all been for naught."

Yun Lancang frowned: "Specific."

Manager Huai immediately said: "Your excellency obtained a map of Broken Mountain from somewhere. The map shows that there is a cave on the eastern mountains of Broken Mountain that leads directly to the eighteen strongholds of the Broken Mountain. Therefore, the Lord is prepared to scatter the cartilage of the eighteen strongholds, and then subdue the eighteen strongholds. "

After Manager Huai finished speaking, everyone looked towards Shui Yiyuan. On the matter of the map, everyone had reached an agreement.

Shui Yiyuan felt the gazes of his colleagues and called out injustice in his heart.

The Manager Huai continued to speak, "Master said that although the eighteen strongholds are a place of strong theft, there are many capable people in there. If we were to subdue the imperial government, serving the imperial government would be a good thing, Master also said that the children of the eighteen strongholds are only around ten years old.

"However, after the Cartilage Dispersal was successful, Assistant Minister Ma requested to be ordered to enter the 18 cities, and started a massacre. By the time Master discovered this, Assistant Minister Ma had already went berserk, not only did he want to kill the people from the 18 tribes, he also wanted to kill the old doctor whom Master had sent to release the Cartilage Dispersal." Manager Huai never mentioned Shui Qingyan.

Manager Huai continued to speak, "When Master entered the Eighteen Stronghold, the blood of the Eighteen Stronghold was already flowing like a river. This humble subject was lucky enough to learn of Assistant Minister Ma's plan and secretly fled back.

After Manager Huai finished speaking, the throne room was completely silent.

After a long while, Yun Lancang opened his mouth: "Eunuch Bai."

Eunuch Bai spat out a bright-red rouge from his mouth and appeared beside Yun Lancang: "Please instruct me, Your Majesty."

"Immediately go to Broken Mountain." Yun Lancang said as he glanced at Eunuch Bai, "You must definitely bring this Lord Zhang back alive."

Eunuch Bai knew the meaning behind Yun Lancang's eyes and immediately replied, "Yes." He then left the throne room.

Prince Chu stared at the crate in his hand and frowned slightly.

After sending away the Eunuch Bai, Yun Lancang swept through the ministers. "Let's talk about this another day.

"Your majesty, the spring is near at hand. There are more and more people coming to the capital to take the examinations, and the security of the capital needs to be strictly regulated. Your subject requests the emperor to appoint a prince to carry out this important task." The minister of war, Xie Yu, took a step forward.

"Imperial Father, Seventh Imperial Brother has experience in the past years. This son requests that you redeploy him back." Fifth Prince Yun Yi stepped forward and said.

"As the elder brother, elder brother, elder brother, you have your own way of doing things. This matter, I feel that it's more suited for the elder brother." The fourth prince stepped forward.

"The Third Emperor's younger brother is in charge as well." The Second Prince said.

"Your son feels that his fifth brother has done the right thing. This matter is suitable for your fifth brother." First Prince Yun Zhen laughed.

"Hmph." Yun Lancang coldly snorted.

Instantly, all of the princes fell silent.

"Speaking of which, there is no one who can take care of this matter for themselves." Yun Lancang's face was solemn, no one could tell what he was thinking.

"Please calm your anger royal father." All the princes tensed up.

"First Prince is honest and steady, worthy of a great responsibility." Xie Yu took a step forward.

Seeing that the Queen's brother, Xie Yu, was helping the First Prince, the younger brother of the Noble Consort Qiao, the current Minister of the Department of Public Relations, Qiao Daizhan stood forward: "The Fifth Prince is a man of great ability, and has never made a mistake before. I recommend the Fifth Prince to you."

In the throne room, the courtiers and officials were in an intense dispute.

Shui’s Marion, Yi'an Yard.

Chu Chen carried Shui Qingyan to his room.

Liu Si dragged Wuhua into the room, "Master, there's only one servant in the courtyard."

Wuhua's acupuncture points had been pushed open, she was unable to speak, but seeing that Shui Qingyan was lying on the ground with a pale face, and that Chu Chen was a talent of the Heaven, he was stunned.

"Go out and watch the door." Chu Chen stared at Shui Qingyan's face. His calm tone scared Wuhua to death.

Liu Si removed Wuhua's acupoints.

Wuhua immediately nodded, "Yes, yes."

"Come in, one person, and you won't have to live." Chu Chen slowly said.

Wuhua's face turned white, she did not understand when her young miss had met such a terrifying person, and immediately nodded her head: "Wuhua understands."

Liu Si frowned as he watched Wuhua absentmindedly leave the room.

The moment Wuhua entered the courtyard, Ping Hua entered.

"Miss, you're back?" Ping Hua asked.

Wuhua nodded.

Ping Hua was about to go in, but she stopped her: "Young miss is severely injured and is currently recuperating, please let us guard the courtyard door."

Ping Hua glanced at the room and nodded.

In the room.

Liu Si looked at Chu Chen and said, "The Yu Niang has been pinned down. Do you want to send someone …"

"Send someone to keep an eye on that servant girl who just entered the courtyard. Her skills are probably on par with yours." Chu Chen slowly said.

After Liu Si heard this, his eyes suddenly opened wide.

"Withdraw everyone, Qingmei should have already saved Zhang Jing." Chu Chen said as he helped Shui Qingyan up.

Looking at Chu Chen's actions, Liu Si knew what he was about to do. Immediately, Liu Si frowned: "Fourth Miss's internal injuries are too heavy.

"No problem." As Chu Chen said this, he already sat down cross-legged and began to treat Shui Qingyan's injuries with inner force.

Liu Si opened his mouth, and sighed weakly in the end.

Broken Mountain, eighteen strongholds.

The Eunuch Bai entered soundlessly. Behind Eunuch Bai, a group of Long Ying immediately spread out. Their target was the gold and silver that the 18 tribes had gathered for the past 10 years.

Eunuch Bai was flying, when he suddenly saw the black clothed Qing Mei with his shoulder tied up, and Zhang Jing, who was still unconscious, nimbly shuttling through the streets of the 18 strongholds.

"Isn't this Qingmei who is standing beside the Fourth Miss?" Eunuch Bai asked curiously.

"Speak, is Shui Qingyan a Arcanist or not!" Suddenly, a vicious voice reached Eunuch Bai's ears.

"The fourth lady is Arcanist!" Eunuch Bai immediately opened his eyes wide and flew towards that direction.

When Eunuch Bai had just left, Qingmei had already carried Zhang Jing beneath the ground where he had just settled. He did not notice him at all.

Eunuch Bai approached a room and slightly opened the window.

When he saw the Yu Niang inside, he opened his eyes wide: "Yu Niang!"

In front of Yu Niang stood Assistant Minister Ma who was holding onto a whip. He had a fierce look on his face: "Fourth Young Miss, when did you start learning secret techniques? Who taught her that? "You better be honest with me!"

Yu Niang's entire body was covered in whip marks, her eyes staring at Assistant Minister Ma: So the one who harmed the Young Miss is you.

Assistant Minister Ma coldly snorted. "Consider her lucky, she escaped with her Broken Mountain, but this vice minister will tell you this, with you in my hands, I'm not afraid of her doing anything to me!"

Yu Niang laughed weakly: "If you injure my lady badly, you will die miserably. I can already predict what will happen to you."

"Humph!" Although Assistant Minister Ma snorted coldly, he still felt a little apprehensive in his heart, because he couldn't find Shui Qingyan.

"Milord." All of them were lucky enough to enter, "Everything has been packed, but the Manager Huai is gone."

"The Huai guy disappeared?" Assistant Minister Ma was shocked.

"Yes, one horse is missing." They were all very lucky.

"The one with the surname Huai is indeed treacherous, he actually dared to return in advance to claim credit for his actions!" The Assistant Minister Ma snorted, "After we are done packing up, we will return back to the capital."

"Yes." "I'll go fetch the lord."

"No need." All of them saluted and then a sneer appeared on their faces, "The lord died because of the bandits."

All of them understood immediately. "This subordinate has sent people to set fire to the eighteen strongholds."

"Take this bitch and go!" After the Assistant Minister Ma finished giving orders, he left with big strides.

When the Eunuch Bai saw that the Assistant Minister Ma was about to burn down the eighteen strongholds and destroy all the evidence, he flew towards the main hall.

When they came out of the empty vault in the lobby, the flames had already filled the whole place.

"Eunuch." Long Ying landed beside the Eunuch Bai and reported, "There are traces of fighting on the mountain."

"Let's go." Eunuch Bai immediately flew up the mountain.

Within the mountain range.

Eunuch Bai picked up a piece of cloth from the ground. "This is from the palace."

Long Ying looked at his surroundings, then said: "Eunuch, there's blood here."

Eunuch Bai immediately looked over. When he saw the ants frozen by the side of the blood trail, his heart skipped a beat.

In this world, the only one who had the cold energy and could freeze their blood was Shui Qingyan.
