Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

Chapter 112 The Emperor Meets People at the City Gate

"Hasn't the winner been decided yet?"

Qiao Xi arrived at the competition venue and asked the old man who was watching the fight with great interest.

Guessing Marquis Changning's thoughts, she and Su Heting took advantage of the situation and asked the old man to bring the Changsheng brothers and a dozen guards to pretend to be assassins and entangle Su Heting.

It can be said that it fulfilled the competition that the Changsheng brothers had been longing for.

She took the opportunity to deal with Marquis Changning.

Now that Marquis Changning has dealt with everything, Qiao Xi is a little surprised that these three people are still fighting.

The old man shifted his gaze a little and looked at her. Seeing that she was fine, he knew that the Marquis of Changning had been dealt with.

Then she touched her chin and said, "Of course your husband is better, but the two boys are not inferior either. With time, they will definitely achieve great things."

The competition has been stalemate until now because his son-in-law coaxed his two brothers-in-law.

Qiao Xi watched for a while and saw the clues, so he said to the three people fighting, "I'm sleepy."

The three contestants stopped at the same time.

Su Heting came over first and said, "Let's go back and rest."

Changsheng lowered his head and walked in front of Qiao Xi, "I lost."

He knew that Su Heting was giving them a break. Even with Yongshou, neither of them could beat Su Heting. He was very discouraged.

Qiao Xi raised her hand and touched his head. "Changsheng is still young. When you grow up to be the same age as your brother-in-law, you will definitely be as powerful as him."

Changsheng's eyes sparkled as he added, "Better than my brother-in-law."

Although he was not convinced, he still recognized this brother-in-law.

Qiao Xi smiled, "Yes, by then he will definitely be more powerful than your brother-in-law."

Changsheng was satisfied.

It was the first time that he was called brother-in-law, and Su Heting was also happy. He patted his shoulder and said, "My dear boy, I love you well."

He glanced at Yongshou again, "But you guys are really lacking in combat experience. Do you want to join the Xinjiang Northern Army?"

Although there is no war at the moment, the daily training of the Xinjiang Northern Army is also extremely beneficial to them.

Qiao Xi hurriedly said, "No, I promised their master that as long as they grow up safely and live well, that's all."

Like her, these two people's families were destroyed, and only these two people were left. Before the Taoist priest died, he asked Qiao Xi to promise to protect them.

This is also why, after the Taoist priest's death, Qiao Xi continued to teach the two brothers martial arts. The two brothers were not bad in skills, but had little combat experience.

She couldn't bear to let the two brothers do anything dangerous.

After rebirth, there was really no one to trust, so the two brothers did something.

When they entered the Xinjiang North Military Camp, she was worried that both of them would be injured if there was a war in the future, especially Changsheng, who she was most worried about.

Su Heting was very strong this time, "In troubled times, boys cannot be overprotected, otherwise it will harm them."

He asked the brothers, "Do you want to join the army?"

The thought of longevity.

When Qiao Xi conquered Liangzhou, he wanted to follow her to fight, but he looked at Qiao Xi.

He doesn't do anything that his elder sister doesn't want him to do. He is his elder sister's good brother.

Yongshou also looked at Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi was relieved that her years of raising these two children were not in vain.

The unconcealable desire in the two people's eyes made Qiao Xi think deeply.

Previously, because of the Taoist priest's instructions, she had never thought about letting the two of them achieve anything great.

She had originally thought that after she had taken revenge, if she was still alive, she would take the two brothers to a beautiful place with mountains and rivers, watch them get married, have children, and live a peaceful life.

If she died, she would leave them enough money. With the money, Yongshou should be able to live a stable life with Changsheng.

But the appearance of Su Heting disrupted her plan. She was destined to accompany Su Heting for the rest of her life.

Changsheng and Yongshou will definitely follow her, so she has to reconsider their future.

She asked the two, "Do you want to join the army?"

Changsheng nodded, "I want to."

He wanted to become more powerful and help his sister.

Yongshou also nodded, "Sister, we will protect ourselves and not let you worry."

Ajie has her own life, and he cannot rely on her for everything. He has to be her helper and help her take care of Changsheng.

Qiao Xi stretched out her arms and hugged the two of them together, "Okay, then I'll listen to your brother-in-law. Just remember your master's instructions and live well."

After her rebirth, she never dared to think deeply about a question.

That is, what would happen if she suddenly exploded and died in her previous life, and Changsheng and Yongshou outside the palace could not wait for her for a long time?

They would probably try to find out her whereabouts, and upon learning of her death, they would definitely investigate further and even avenge her.

So, how could the two of them be a match for the emperor?

Thinking that both of their previous lives might have been harmed by the emperor.

Qiao Xi felt a slight soreness in her nose.

What Su Heting said was that she shouldn't be like an old hen, always protecting them under her wings. She should learn to make them strong.

"Listen to sister."

The two brothers nodded again.

Changsheng's usually cold face showed a rare silly smile, which showed that he was really happy.

Qiao Xi also laughed and asked the Changsheng brothers and the old man to take off their black clothes.

Just as they were about to go back to where they had camped, Cui Li arrived with his men. "Your Highness, Princess, are you all right?"

Su Heting said, "Nothing, have you caught the assassin?"

In order to make it easier to attack Qiao Xi, Marquis Changning deliberately asked Cui Li to lead people to follow the Jiangbei Army to the mountains to capture the assassin.

This also made it easier for Su Heting and Qiao Xi to act.

Cui Li seemed to be in a dilemma. Before he could speak, the deputy general of the Xinjiang North Army who came with him said, "There were more than a dozen archers in total. They captured two people alive. They have already interrogated them. It turned out that it was ordered by the Marquis of Changning."

"Why would it be him? Why would he want to harm us?"

Qiao Xi pretended to be shocked.

The deputy general shook his head, "Those two men just followed orders, they don't know why."

Su Heting pondered and said, "He should be leading us to the village."

Qiao Xi seemed to react and grabbed Su Heting's arm in fear, "Is there something wrong with that village?

We just left the camp and we encountered two groups of assassins. Were they also arranged by Marquis Changning?

He also wanted to have someone take me away, but fortunately, Your Highness was cautious and protected me.

And the incident at Chunfeng Tower, I have never been able to figure it out. I have never offended anyone in northern Xinjiang, so how could someone want to harm me? Could it be him?

I have never offended him, so why would he want to harm me and even attack the prince?"

Su Heting hurriedly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you.

We have also sent people to investigate the village, so that we can respond promptly if there are any assassins."

He looked at Cui Li and said, "Eunuch Cui, the Marquis of Changning was sent by His Majesty to pick me up, but what is going on with him now?

Could it be that he was instructed by His Majesty, and His Majesty does not want me to return to the capital at all?"

Without waiting for Cui Li to answer, the old man acted like a dramatic character and hugged Su Heting's other arm, "Grandson, let's go back. The capital is too dangerous. I'm scared."

The two archers were interrogated by the Jiangbei Army in front of Cui Li, and they did admit that they shot and burned the carriage and Qiao Xi at the behest of Marquis Changning.

Cui Li also knew that the Marquis of Changning was hostile to Qiao Xi, and he also knew that Changning Hu had secretly left the team and returned injured, combined with what Qiao Xi said about the Chunfeng Tower incident.

Cui Li could be sure that Marquis Changning really wanted to harm Qiao Xi.

But Marquis Changning was ordered to bring King Jiangbei back to the capital, so he would not be so foolish as to kill King Jiangbei.

At this moment, a soldier from the Xinjiang North Army came running over and said, "Your Majesty, we have been ordered to go to the village to check the situation, and we found that there is indeed an assassin.

But Marquis Changning seemed to be acquainted with those people and was arguing with their leader. After discovering us, the assassin suddenly cut off Marquis Changning's head.

The people brought by Marquis Changning fought with the assassins, and our people were among them, so I came to inform you first."

Su Heting said, "Lead the way."

Cui Li also hurriedly brought his men to catch up, but when they arrived, Changning Hou's men and assassins had all been wiped out by the Xinjiang Northern Army, and some of the Xinjiang Northern Army also had injuries.

The old man said to one of the young soldiers from the northern part of Xinjiang with a distressed look on his face, "My dear boys, you were injured in the fight against the barbarians before, and now you are not fighting anymore, but you are injured again. This old man is so distressed."

He looked at Su Heting pitifully and said, "My dear grandson, the capital is too scary. Let's go home. I'm afraid you will get hurt too."

Su Heting's eyes were gloomy. "Eunuch Cui, do you have anything to say?"

Cui Li roughly guessed that these assassins were none other than the princes' men, but he really couldn't explain how Marquis Changning got involved with them.

Then he heard Su Heting say, "Marquis Changning arrived in the northern part of the border ahead of time and tried to murder the king and the princess. You traveled with him all the way, so it's impossible that you didn't notice that he had left the team.

But you deliberately concealed it. Could it be that you are colluding with the Marquis of Changning and others to kill me?"

Cui Li had always heard that the King of Xinjiang North loved his soldiers like his own sons. Seeing that his face was gloomy because of the injured soldiers, he was worried that Su Heting would really return to Xinjiang North after listening to the old man's words.

After hearing this, he knelt down in fear and said, "Your Majesty, I have wronged you. I would never dare to do such a thing."

He did know that Marquis Changning had left the team, so it wouldn't have been a big deal if he had kept it a secret for him.

But now that the Marquis of Changning is suspected of plotting to murder the King of Jiangbei and his wife, if he continues to conceal it, he will be suspected of being an accomplice.

He cannot afford the charge of murdering the royal heir.

Moreover, he had vaguely figured out something during the journey. It was true that Marquis Changning wanted to harm others, but he was definitely harmed in the end.

Marquis Changning is now dead, but it is a fact that he left the team before, it is also a fact that there was an assassin in Chunfeng Tower, and it is even more a fact that he sent archers to pretend to be assassins.

If we bring the bodies of these assassins back to the capital, we might be able to find out something.

The assassination of King Jiangbei by Marquis Changning was almost confirmed.

The King of Jiangbei should not be underestimated. He is probably much stronger than those in the capital.

The King of Jiangbei was accusing him of this, wanting him to take sides. After a moment's thought, he changed his tone, "I do know that Marquis Changning has left the team, but I was deceived by him. I just thought he was bored and wanted to go to Jiangbei early to have some fun with some women.

I had no idea that he was so bold as to collude with others to assassinate you.

When I return to the capital, I will report this matter to His Majesty and ask him to give you justice."

The King of Jiangbei could plot to take the life of Marquis Changning, and he could also plot to take his life.

Now the emperor is looking forward to his return to Beijing. If he says a few words to him in front of the emperor, he will be doomed.

It’s better to give it a try. Maybe this person can really make a name for himself in the capital.

With this in mind, Cui Li became resolute and, according to the statement of the Jiangbei Army, claimed that the Marquis of Changning had conspired with others to assassinate the King of Jiangbei, and reported the matter to the capital.

The rest of the journey was very smooth. Half a month later, the group arrived outside the gate of the capital.

To their surprise, the emperor personally led people to the city gate to greet them.

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Su Heting's eyes. The little brain this man had was used to scheme against his own child. He showed his favoritism so blatantly because he was afraid that the other princes would tear him apart.

Qiao Xi's heart was also filled with hatred. She held Su Heting's hand and asked, "Brother Crown Prince, are you ready?"
