Chapter 268 Emperor Yan Passes Away and Chaos Begins

Seeing this line of words, Zhao Ya couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, but he was not surprised.

Although Yan Tingshan was fine when Zhao Ya left Yandu City, he was suddenly seriously ill and dying. You can guess that there must be something fishy.

But to be honest, none of this matters.

Great Yan has long been riddled with holes and crumbling, and this situation cannot be changed by one's own strength.

Even if Yan Tingshan is not dead, it is nothing more than a slight delay in the process.

But this did remind Zhao Ya that it was time to go back.

Although Zhao Ya had no interest in whether Great Yan would be destroyed or who would be the emperor after the destruction.

But there were still some things in Yandu City that he needed to deal with.

Zhao Ya returned to the Song family.

It was already early in the morning, and in the dead of night, Zhao Ya didn't feel embarrassed to wake up the doorman, so he flew directly into the courtyard.

As soon as he landed, Zhao Ya, who was about to return to his room, suddenly saw a person sitting under the big tree in the courtyard.

It's Song Peiwan!

Zhao Ya was slightly stunned, then chuckled and said, "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"

"Well, I'm waiting for you to come back."

"Wait for me?" Zhao Ya was a little surprised.

"Are you... leaving?" Song Peiwan hesitated and finally asked.

Zhao Ya did not hide it, "Yes."

"When do you plan to leave?"

"Tomorrow."

"So soon?"

"Well, there are still some things to deal with in Yandu City."

"What after that?"

"Go back to Yunxiao County, and then go out to explore." Zhao Ya spoke out his future plans very frankly.

"Oh, then... I wish you a safe journey." Song Peiwan said softly.

Looking at Song Peiwan, who was obviously a little depressed, Zhao Ya was silent.

How could he not know Song Peiwan's intentions.

But he was destined to continue on the path of martial arts, which meant that he would never stay in one place and live a stable life.

Unlike Zui'er, Song Peiwan could not follow him everywhere.

These two irreconcilable contradictions seemed to make it difficult for the two to get together.

So Zhao Ya was also feeling mixed emotions at this time, not knowing what to say.

"It's getting late. Since you are leaving tomorrow, go to rest quickly." Song Peiwan stood up and said softly.

Zhao Ya nodded, "You too, go to bed early."

The two said goodbye.

Song Peiwan returned to her room.

The maid Xiaoman had fallen asleep on the table.

Apparently she had been sitting at the table waiting for him until she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Song Peiwan couldn't help but lighten her steps.

Despite this, Xiaoman was soon awakened.

"Miss, you're back!" Xiaoman asked sleepily.

"Yes, I'm back."

"Did you see Commander Zhao?"

"Yes." Song Peiwan said lightly.

"Oh? What did you two say?" Xiaoman was very curious.

"Nothing much, just a simple chat, he said he's leaving tomorrow."

Xiaoman widened his eyes, "Leaving tomorrow? So soon?"

"Yes, he said he would take care of things, and then he planned to go out and try his luck." Song Peiwan's tone was a little bleak.

"In fact, I have long known that people like him will never stay for anyone, and only Zui'er, who has been accompanying him everywhere, can follow him."

"But Miss, you..." Xiaoman was anxious.

Song Peiwan just waved her hand, "Don't say anything, I'm a little sleepy, let's go to sleep."

"Oh!" Xiaoman didn't dare to say anything.

She said she was going to sleep, but in fact, Song Peiwan tossed and turned that night, how could she sleep.

It was not until the sky was about to dawn that she fell asleep in a daze, but was soon awakened.

"Miss, Miss, Commander Zhao is gone, this is what he left for you before he left." Xiaoman handed a box to Song Peiwan with a complicated expression.

Song Peiwan opened it and found a sword manual inside, which was written by Zhao Ya overnight.

Although Zhao Ya had never used a sword, when his realm reached a certain level, the principles were actually the same.

In addition, Zhao Ya had read many sword manuals in the Golden Sword Academy.

These sword manuals were collected by the Golden Sword Academy. Although they were basically low-grade Xuan-level or Huang-level skills, they gave Zhao Ya a lot of inspiration.

Before leaving this time, Zhao Ya felt that he should leave a gift for Song Peiwan.

Thinking of her using a sword, Zhao Ya tailored this sword method according to her own characteristics.

Flipping through this sword manual, Song Peiwan couldn't calm down for a long time.

Suddenly.

She stood up, took down the sword hanging on the wall, and turned away.

"Miss, where are you going?" Xiaoman asked in surprise.

"Go to the backyard to practice sword."

Song Peiwan left without looking back.

She has made up her mind to practice hard and strive for a breakthrough in martial arts.

Although she may not be able to catch up with Zhao Ya, at least she will not be left too far behind.

At the same time, two other people also received gifts written by Zhao Ya himself.

One is Tan Dong. Zhao Ya gave him a book on martial arts practice, especially for the problems he might encounter in the future.

Looking at this book, Tan Dong couldn't help but burst into tears. He secretly made up his mind that he must not disappoint Zhao Ya's expectations of him and work hard to practice.

Another one is naturally Song Linqing.

He got a book about poison. Zhao Ya wrote down the tricks and experiences about the alien meat field and the poison, which was also a return for Song Linqing's courtesy.

In short, after dealing with everything quickly, Zhao Ya took Zui'er on the way home.

Just as Zhao Ya and Zui'er were returning, the situation in Yandu City, which was originally surging undercurrents, gradually became white-hot.

The Wei family, the Lin family and many other aristocratic families, as well as the Xuanyang Sect in the three sects, two courtyards and one villa, together formed a powerful force.

Secondly, Yan Sifu successfully connected many members of the Great Yan royal family, and his strength should not be underestimated.

In addition, many court officials took an attitude of avoiding and waiting.

Don't stand in line, don't oppose anyone, but see which side can win, and then swing to which side.

Although the profit is relatively small, it is safe.

This is the logic of the court. You can have ninety-nine victories, but as long as you fail once, all your previous efforts will be wasted.

So safety is more important than anything else.

Just as the various forces were fighting openly and secretly between the court and the opposition, a man came to the palace.

"Your Highness, it's not that we are stopping you. It's really that His Majesty has just taken the medicine and has fallen asleep. If you go in now, won't it disturb His Majesty?" A big eunuch explained.

But Yan Xizhao didn't pay any attention to these, just glanced coldly at the group of eunuchs.

"You said this when I came last time, and you still say the same thing this time. What? Are you going to stop me and not let me see His Majesty?"

"I dare not."

The leading eunuch knelt down hurriedly after hearing this, and then the group of eunuchs knelt down together.

"If you don't dare, get out of my way now. Otherwise, I'll talk to you, but the sword in my hand won't listen to you."

Yan Xizhao was indeed a little angry.

When she heard the news, she rushed to the palace to visit, but was perfunctorily brushed off with all kinds of excuses.

Yan Xizhao came several times later, but returned empty-handed.

Until this time, Yan Xizhao was completely angry, and the eunuchs didn't dare to talk anymore and got out of the way.

Yan Xizhao snorted coldly and walked in.

After she left, the leading eunuch winked at everyone.

The young eunuch understood and quickly slipped away, then trotted all the way to Rongxi Palace and told Concubine Rong what happened.

After listening, Feng Rong's heart tightened.

In fact, she also knew that she couldn't stop Yan Xizhao by herself.

Her previous idea was to delay Yan Xizhao as much as possible, and it would be best to wait until Yan Tingshan was unconscious and couldn't even speak before letting the brother and sister meet.

But now this plan has obviously failed.

I just don't know what Yan Xizhao's reaction will be.

Feng Rong was in a state of anxiety, and didn't dare to go over. She sent the little eunuch away casually, and then thought about how to deal with Yan Xizhao's killing later.

But unexpectedly, after just a while, the little eunuch came to deliver a letter, saying that Yan Xizhao had left the palace.

"What? She left without saying anything?"

"Yes, she didn't say anything."

Feng Rong was puzzled, not knowing what the brother and sister talked about, and what Yan Xizhao's gourd was selling.

Soon, she passed the news to Wei Tianlin.

Now Wei Tianlin is in high spirits, feeling that the goal he has been fighting for most of his life is about to be achieved, and he is full of energy.

When he learned that Yan Xizhao had broken into the palace and had a secret talk with Yan Tingshan, he didn't really care.

Because at this time, no matter Yan Tingshan, Yan Xizhao, or this Xijian Villa, they didn't have many cards to use.

No matter how much they talked in secret, they couldn't talk about anything.

On the other hand, with the addition of Xuanyang Sect and the secret assistance of Jile Sect, their strength was super strong, so they didn't have to care about these trivial matters.

Wei Tianlin just ordered his men to keep an eye on Xijian Villa and keep an eye on their movements at any time.

As for the others, he didn't care at all.

Jingzhao Mansion.

Shang Luoluo, dressed in men's clothes, was sorting out the information.

Recently, with the tense situation in Yandu City, the workload of Jingzhao Mansion has increased greatly.

Even Shang Luoluo hasn't been home for several days and has been living in the inner court.

At this time, Shang Jingchuan pushed the door and walked in, and sat on the recliner at once, his face full of fatigue.

Shang Luoluo stood up and poured a cup of hot tea, then brought it over.

Shang Jingchuan took the cup, took a big sip, and then let out a long breath.

"Huh, it's really tiring."

Shang Luoluo smiled, "You checked all the markets in the entire Yandu City one by one, how can you not be tired?"

"There is no way, the household registration information that was left over from that year is already outdated. If you want to grasp the real situation, you have to take such a stupid method." Shang Jingchuan said.

"Now I can be said to be the person who knows the household registration situation best in the entire Yandu City. In this way, I can formulate policies according to the market, save manpower as much as possible, and maintain peace on the ground."

This is actually Shang Jingchuan's helpless move.

Because Jingzhao Prefecture has limited manpower after all, even with the help of the Yun family, it is still the same.

And with the turbulent situation, Yandu City is bound to be in chaos.

That is the real severe test.

For this reason, Shang Jingchuan spared no effort to investigate the specific situation of Yandu City.

And looking at his father who became dark and thin due to the wind, sun and constant visits, Shang Luoluo was also quite emotional.

Once upon a time.

Shang Jingchuan was still a useless scholar who could only sit in the study and talk about world affairs.

In less than a year, he has transformed into a real capable person who can practice and think.

This change is not small.

While the father and daughter were talking in the house, a bell sound suddenly came from a distance.

It should not be strange. Yandu City has a bell and drum on the second floor, and ringing the bell is also a common thing.

But this time is different. The bell sound this time is not only urgent, but also very sharp and piercing.

After hearing the bell, Shang Jingchuan and Shang Luoluo's faces changed drastically.

"Not good!"

The two ran out of the room, looking at the direction where the bell sound came from, and then Shang Jingchuan's tears burst out.

"Your Majesty!"

The bell sound came from the palace.

It was obvious that the Great Yan Emperor Yan Tingshan had passed away.

Otherwise, there would not be such a big commotion.

Although Shang Jingchuan had some complaints about the actions of the Great Yan Emperor.

But when he really passed away, Shang Jingchuan still cried and mourned.

Shang Luoluo certainly didn't have so many feelings.

She just looked at the birds in the sky in the distance that were startled by the bell sound and sighed silently.

Great Yan was one step closer to its defeat.

At the same time, the entire Yan capital city was boiling.

Although Yan Tingshan had been in power for more than 20 years and had accomplished nothing, many people were still sad for him.

Ordinary people were in a state of panic, and many shops closed their doors early.

Yan Sifu was overjoyed, and immediately put on the mourning clothes he had prepared long ago, and rushed to the palace with his men.

Going one step earlier would give him more confidence.

But at this time, many people in the Yan royal family were also ready to make a move.

After all, it was not just Yan Sifu who coveted the throne.

Even though he had connected most of the royal family, there were still many people who did not obey him.

The Wei family, in the heavily guarded backyard.

Wei Tianlin looked at the people in the room with a serious face.

The small house was full of people, and they were all powerful figures in Yandu City.

Among them were the heads of the Lin family, the Liu family and other wealthy families and the heads of several major chambers of commerce.

"Everyone, now that Yan Tingshan is dead, the Yan royal family will definitely fight for the throne. At this time, the private army cannot intervene. It is the best time for us to take action."

"So I decided that tomorrow night, we will work together to completely overthrow the Yan Dynasty that has been in power for more than 300 years and build a new dynasty. What do you think?"

"Good!" The heads of the families heard their eyes light up and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, in this case, let's start preparing now."

I took my child to the hospital for a check-up today. It was a cough caused by sinusitis. There were so many people in the hospital that I didn't come back until the afternoon, so this is all for tonight, and tomorrow I will write 10,000 words!
