Late at night, the movement in the city lord's palace did not weaken at all. If you listen carefully, you can still hear some screams. The cruelty of the world will not be obscured by darkness.

After settling the sisters in Mingyue Tower, Shangguan Susu opened the door and came to the main hall in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, Muchen and several secret team leaders were discussing.

Feeling that Shangguan Susu had come over, Muchen said to the seven dragon heads: "Okay, let's talk about this today. These uncles are all old friends of my father. Xiaochen is here. I would like to sincerely thank you for your kindness to me."

Thanks to the efforts of the Mu family, Xiaochen will still need more guidance from all the uncles in the future."

"The young master is humble. I believe that the prince's spirit in heaven will be comforted if he can see the young master's achievements now."

"That's right, from now on, all the generals in the dark group will only obey the orders of the young master. It is an honor for us to work under the young master."

Muchen's actions today have already conquered many dragon heads. They are all loyal elites personally selected by Muchen's father. It can be said that their current strength is all due to the cultivation of the Mu family. If they follow an incompetent master

, they may have some resistance, but it is also their wish to follow a young master like Muchen, who is extremely talented and decisive in killing.

"Uncles, please go down first. There are still many important things to be done in Qingshan City these days. I hope you uncles will pay more attention."

"Yes, I obey my orders!"

"My subordinates resign."

………………

The seven dragon heads secretly formed a group and dispersed. Seeing that Muchen was free, Shangguan Susu dared to walk into the lobby.

"Your Majesty..."

"Miss Susu, you are here late at night, but what needs do you have? If you are not comfortable living in the City Lord's Mansion, you can say hello to Luo Cheng and the others. If you have any requests, I will try my best to meet them."

"No, Your Majesty, I want to talk to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty has time."

"Of course, Miss Su Su, please take a seat." Muchen took out a few glasses of freshly squeezed juice and said with a smile, "This is the juice made from spiritual fruits cultivated by the palace. It is sweet and delicious. Miss Su Su can try it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After taking a sip of the juice, it was indeed sweet and refreshing. A wave of coolness immediately swept through the whole body. Shangguan Susu smiled and said: "The spiritual fruit of Wangfu is indeed delicious. Not only does it taste great, it also contains abundant spiritual energy. If it can be eaten for a long time, I believe it will

Breaking through the Tianwu Realm will no longer be a problem."

"Girl Su Su, very knowledgeable."

Shangguan Susu no longer held it, but held her chin with both hands very casually, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the little girl has always been very curious. The newly cultivated spiritual food in the palace is not only delicious, but also has abundant spiritual energy, and the yield is also quite large.

It’s impressive. It stands to reason that such spiritual food is a treasure that everyone covets. The prince should try his best to hide them well. Why was it so easy for Cui’er and me to discover the secret? This should be the prince’s intention.

Yeah."

Although Muchen did not take the initiative to take Guan Susu and the others to the spiritual food plantation, he did not deliberately hide the news about sweet potatoes and corn. Shangguan Susu and Cui'er had actually known for a long time that the output of these spiritual food was very impressive.

If the output of a kind of spiritual food increases, it will be unimaginable for any force.

"It's correct to say it was intentional, but I feel that those are not secrets. Even if you Susu knew it, it wouldn't affect anything, so I didn't hide it deliberately."

"Isn't this a secret? If I choose to leak this news, there will probably be many big forces who will cause trouble for Zhenshan Prince's Mansion."

"Is there any difference? Even without these spiritual food, Zhenshan Palace still has few enemies. The things Zhenshan Palace has are enough to arouse the greed of the enemies. Another temptation will be nothing to Zhenshan Palace.

Difference, so from the beginning, I had no intention of concealing the existence of sweet potatoes and corn. At best, I just concealed the true yield of spiritual food." In fact, Muchen had already planned to use these two things to make a big fuss, so he did not

Mind you, two kinds of spiritual food are leaked.

Shangguan Susu thought for a while and said with a smile: "The prince is right. The things owned by Zhenshan Palace are already precious enough. If there were not 200,000 Qianlong elites on the border, I believe there would be many people who would kill Zhenshan Palace."

.”

Part of the reason why Zhenshan Palace can still sit back and relax is that the imperial royal family does not want Zhenshan Palace to fall too quickly, so as not to chill the hearts of many generals in the empire; on the other hand, there are 200,000 Qianlong elite guarding the border.

These Qianlong Army are the real elites of the Qianlong Army. The average strength of ordinary soldiers is at the high level of the Human Martial Realm. There are more than 100 generals who have reached the Tianwu Realm. If this power is not restricted by the royal family,

The border and Zhenshan Palace will not be so timid.

As long as these 200,000 elite Hidden Dragons remain alive, those enemies hiding in the dark will need to weigh their concerns. At least openly, they will not dare to attack Zhenshan Palace. After all, not everyone can resist the revenge of 200,000 masters.

Shangguan Susu: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about my affairs. My lord, have you made some guesses about my identity?"

Muchen did not hide anything, nodded and said: "Now that we know that your surname is 'Shangguan', it will be much easier to investigate. After all, there is only one family in the empire who dares to call himself 'Shangguan'." This is the royal family of the Celestial Empire.

Besides members of the royal family, who else dares to call this name?

"So, I guess, Miss Susu, you are a descendant of the previous prince. Only those of the previous prince's lineage are condemned as criminals. This is why, Miss Susu, you conceal your identity."

Every dynasty change will inevitably lead to a bloody storm. Success as king and defeat as bandits is the fate of everyone. This is almost inevitable for every dynasty change.

It was the same decades ago. At that time, Muchen's father was just a student at the Warrior Academy in a small place and was unknown.

At that time, because the emperor of the empire was assassinated and was seriously injured and dying, countless famous doctors could only temporarily save the emperor's life. For a time, many forces in the imperial capital began to support their chosen prince to ascend the throne, and a battle to seize the throne began.

The second prince who stood out at that time was the second prince of the empire. The second prince had both political integrity and talent, and was proficient in both literature and martial arts. He was highly regarded by the king and loved by the people. It didn't take long for him to be elected as the crown prince. And the crown princess,

She was the only daughter of King Tianding. King Tianding's status at that time was similar to that of King Zhenshan. They were both important marshals of the empire and were highly regarded by the King of Heaven.

The second prince not only has the support of King Tianding, but also has the recommendation of many famous families behind him. He is the most likely person to aspire to the throne of King of Heaven.

Unfortunately, this was not the case. Just one year after the king's condition worsened, a civil strife suddenly broke out in the imperial capital. It was said that the prince was trying to kill the emperor and commit rebellion. Shangguan Jue, the fifth prince in charge of the imperial army at the time, got hold of the evidence of his crime and

The king of heaven personally issued an order to arrest him. The Murong family responded immediately, mobilized troops, surrounded the entire prince's palace, and captured the prince and his accomplices in one fell swoop.

Before the public trial, the prince committed suicide in the Heavenly Sin Prison in the imperial capital. This confirmed the fact that the prince had rebelled. For a time, the king of heaven was furious and ordered the execution of all the traitors, including the then King Tianding.

, was also ordered to kill everyone in the family. Countless nobles were killed overnight, and the imperial capital was filled with blood.

At that time, the Crown Princess was not in the imperial capital because she returned to her parents' home to have the baby, so she luckily escaped. However, the fifth prince had no intention of letting her go. He immediately deployed military forces and began to attack Tianding City. The Murong family also sent troops to help. King Tianding

Facing enemies from both sides, Tianding City was quickly captured, and the whole family of King Tianding was executed.

At this point, the fifth prince became the biggest winner. Not long after, the king of heaven died, and the fifth prince became the new king of heaven. He designated the prince's lineage as sinners and was wanted by the entire empire.

Because of this civil war, the empire suffered heavy losses, and the army suffered heavy casualties. Many neighboring countries saw a glimmer of hope. The Azure Tribe in the south, the Mandala Kingdom in the north, and the powerful Qin Kingdom under the Celestial Empire all began to use troops against the Celestial Empire.

In an attempt to occupy the rich territory of the Celestial Empire, countless armies are approaching. The Celestial Empire is also at the cusp of the storm. If you are not careful, you will lose the prestige of the empire.

Muchen's father, from that time on, joined the royal army, defeated the rebellious army, established military power, and achieved immortal legend. It can be said that it was Muchen's father who helped the Celestial Empire to repel the enemy step by step, whether it was to pacify the country or not.

Whether it's civil strife or conquering foreign enemies, the Qianlong Army plays an important role.

The Qianlong Army was indispensable for the Celestial Empire to be able to restore peace so quickly. This is also the reason why the Celestial King wants to temporarily keep the Zhenshan Palace. He does not want to be criticized. If the Mu family is destroyed for no reason, it will be detrimental to the reputation of the royal family.

A fatal blow.

Speaking of which, this period of history is not a secret. Everyone in the Celestial Empire knows it. As for what is hidden in it, Muchen does not want to pursue it. Since ancient times, the battle for the throne has always been about the winner and the loser.

Since the fifth prince is already the king, naturally no one will cry out for the loser.

Muchen also knew all this and said: "According to the empire's announcement, all the prince's lineage has been executed. But I once heard my father say that the prince was not killed, but was rescued by a mysterious person. At that time,

The Crown Princess is pregnant, and not many people know this secret, so I guess that Miss Susu is a grandchild of the Crown Prince."

There was a trace of sadness in Shangguan Susu's eyes, filled with tears, and she said: "No, the prince is my biological father, and my mother was the crown princess at that time!"

"How is that possible?" Calculating the time, thirty or forty years have passed since the civil war, and Shangguan Susu is only in her twenties. No matter how she thinks about it, there is no way she is the prince's daughter.

"You can't believe it. In fact, my mother was staying in Tianding City with my grandfather at that time. When the bad news about my father came from the imperial capital, my mother couldn't believe it. My grandfather had already realized that something was wrong and wanted to escort my mother away first.

But the troops of the Murong family and the fifth prince came too quickly. In that battle, all my grandfather's family were killed. My mother watched all her relatives die tragically in front of her... Originally, the fifth prince wanted to capture my mother alive.

, I asked my mother to plead guilty on my father's behalf in front of the people of the empire, and to convict the prince of the crime of regicide and rebellion. My mother refused to obey and was severely injured!"

"Later, Venerable Baiyin, my mother's master, took action and saved my mother's life. However, because the injury was too serious, I almost lost the fetus in my belly. It was my mother's master who spent a huge price and used secret methods to save the fetus in her belly.

, but because of this, my growth became extremely slow. I stayed in my mother's body for nearly 10 years before I was born, which almost cost my mother's life!" Speaking of this, Shangguan Susu also looked sad,

There was a hint of hatred in his eyes.

"My health has been poor since I was born. It was my master who spent a lot of elixirs to strengthen my foundation and strength so that I could grow up healthily. My mother, on the other hand, was bent on revenge and established a killer organization on her own - Yue Ye

.Started to assassinate members of the royal family and major nobles, but due to his reckless behavior, the royal family discovered the traces a few years ago and sent people to exterminate him. As a last resort, my mother fled to the corner of the empire and temporarily hid."

Muchen could not have imagined that there were so many stories in it, and he felt a little emotional. If it were written into a novel, Shangguan Susu's mother would definitely be a hero among women.

"Tui'er matches your sisters. Could it be that Tui'er is also the daughter of the prince?" Muchen asked, expressing his doubts.

"No, Cui'er is my grandfather, the granddaughter of a personal guard general. Cui'er's mother was also an orphan who survived the massacre. Cui'er grew up with me and is my mother's adopted daughter.

Sister Xianyin and others are all my personal maids. Because I have been unwell since I was a child, I did not accompany my mother to the imperial capital, so I did not participate in the war a few years ago. My coming to Nanshan County was actually a test for me by my mother.

I hope I can take charge of the entire Nanshan County, but I failed..."

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Susu would be so honest with Muchen. If these secrets were leaked, many people's lives would be affected.

"Thank you, Miss Susu, for trusting me. I don't know what Miss Susu is doing..." Muchen was a little confused. Telling everything like this made Muchen feel like he was being left alone.

"Your Highness, our two families should join forces. I can convince my mother to cooperate with the Prince to deal with the royal family and the Murong family."

Muchen hesitated and said: "Oh... the Murong family is indeed my enemy, but I should have no reason to deal with the royal family."

"Your Majesty, with your intelligence, you should understand that the death of the old prince is inseparable from the royal family. The expedition to the Tianqing tribe was controlled by the royal family. The old prince led more than 400,000 Qianlong elites. How could it be possible?

The entire army was wiped out for no reason. If you say that the royal family had no knowledge of this matter, can you believe it?"

Muchen's eyes changed and he didn't say much. After a while he said: "Yes, I can agree to cooperate, but I need to see the Crown Princess first and have a detailed discussion with her... face to face."
