Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 358: Extra 14: The Underworld



But before the prince could think about it, he saw an arrow coming at him. Xiaojiu was unable to dodge and was stabbed.

The prince and others who saw this scene could not help but sweat, but they also knew that swords and knives had no eyes on the battlefield. Even if there were people protecting them, they could not avoid the danger of charging in front of them.

Fortunately, this arrow looked dangerous, but it did not hit Xiaojiu’s vitals. After observing for a long time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Jingwen was anxious and angry, but he had nowhere to vent. In the end, he could only say helplessly: “Why are you doing this?”

I don’t know how Xiaojiu, who has been spoiled since childhood, can endure it now.

From childhood to adulthood, Xiaojiu has never suffered such hardship, let alone such serious injuries. This is the first time.

There was so much blood flowing from the wound that it could not be stopped. Emperor Jingwen felt dizzy, so much so that when Prince Ding helped to pull out the arrow, there was a moment when Emperor Jingwen did not even dare to look, but in the end he resisted the desire to look away, as if he wanted to remember this scene firmly.

Seeing that Prince Ding first diverted Xiaojiu’s attention, and then mercilessly shot an arrow through Xiaojiu’s shoulder, Xiaojiu grimaced in pain, but gritted his teeth and endured it in front of the people below. The second prince couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this. It was indeed Prince Ding, who was really cruel and didn’t hesitate at all.

Although Emperor Jingwen knew that this was a necessary process for healing, he was still very distressed, especially when he heard Prince Ding say that because everyone who could protect Xiaojiu was dead, no matter what happened, Xiaojiu had to solve it by himself, which made Emperor Jingwen’s heart tremble. At this moment, he really wanted to be resurrected.

Although Emperor Jingwen had been extremely restrained, the change in his expression still couldn’t be hidden from the others who had been paying attention to this side. The prince and others who hadn’t been able to bear to look closely saw this, and their expressions instantly became cold.

Ha, father.

And then when they saw that Huandu had been attacked for a long time, everyone couldn’t help but frown. It was also obvious that they couldn’t drag it on, otherwise people’s hearts would be unsettled and they were afraid of losing the battle.

Huandu is the last line of defence of the State of Chen. If Huandu is not broken, the State of Chen will not be destroyed. If it cannot be taken down, the war launched by Xiaojiu will be considered a failure. If he wants to make a comeback next time, it will be even more difficult.

Fortunately, things soon took a turn for the better.

When seeing that the general Huo Rong who guarded Huandu died at the hands of his own people, even the prince and his people, who were from the Great Zhou, could not help but sigh.

For the ministers, it is really an extremely important thing to follow the emperor.

Once Huandu was broken, the soldiers of the Great Zhou almost drove straight in, and no one could stop them. Even when the capital of Chen fell, everyone watched a big drama about human hearts. The surrendered nobles of the State of Chen killed their own people even more cruelly than the army led by Xiaojiu, as if they were afraid of being retaliated, and they directly cut the grass and uprooted it without mercy.

When Emperor Jingwen and others reacted, the entire capital was already in Xiaojiu’s pocket. When the cavalry of the Great Zhou entered the capital of the State of Chen, Emperor Jingwen and others were speechless for a long time.

What they had thought was impossible before, now just… happened?

At this moment, Emperor Jingwen and others seemed to be dreaming.

However, at this moment, something strange happened –

noticing the tragic situation at the gate of the palace of the State of Chen, Emperor Jingwen and Emperor Taicheng, two insiders, immediately raised their alarm bells and blurted out: “Be careful, it’s the secret guards!”

However, the people in the picture could not hear their voices. Fortunately, Xiaojiu also noticed the abnormality at the last moment. However, before Xiaojiu could retreat, the overwhelming murderous intent followed.

Sword Saint Guo Tong is a master-level figure of the time. He alone can resist thousands of troops. The roads in the royal city are narrow, not as wide as those outside the city. Whether the soldiers turn around or resist, they will be difficult and weak. In this case, once Guo Tong rushes into the crowd, it will be like a hungry tiger falling into a sheepfold. Even the elite are not his opponents. ℟

Seeing that Xiaojiu had to face this man, Emperor Jingwen and others couldn’t help but hold their breath.

Seeing that hundreds of secret guards were like slaughtering chickens and dogs, the soldiers of the Great Zhou fell down wherever they went, and even Xiaojiu’s situation became precarious. Emperor Jingwen gritted his teeth, fearing that Xiaojiu would make a mistake at the last moment.

Fortunately, what Emperor Jingwen was worried about did not happen.

When he saw Wu Yi, who was already in front of him after a few ups and downs, Emperor Jingwen sincerely thanked his original decision. As for the second prince on the side, he snorted coldly, but in the end, he still put down the teacup that he was holding uncontrollably.

Emperor Jingwen and others couldn’t help but immerse themselves in joy with the others in the picture, but the difference was that Emperor Jingwen and others could see things that ordinary soldiers couldn’t see, so the happiness of several people became extremely short-lived. In less than half a day, Emperor Jingwen didn’t even have time to feel proud of his youngest son’s great achievements, and then Xiaojiu smashed his pride without knowing it.

After the celebration banquet, General Xu found Xiaojiu alone. Without waiting for Xiaojiu’s reaction, he immediately knelt on the ground and began to apologise to Xiaojiu.

It turned out that the grandson of the brave old general, Xu Kui, was actually a woman! The prince didn’t realise it until this moment. He said, if Xu Kui was a man, why would Xiaojiu drive him out when he was taking a bath.

Then, Emperor Jingwen knew that Xiaojiu was going to pass the throne to his daughter.

Emperor Jingwen’s smile froze on his face for a moment. He wondered if he had heard it wrong because of his old eyesight. He even asked the prince and others again, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone: “What did he say? I didn’t hear it clearly.”

The prince and others were also shocked, but they still answered instinctively: “Xiaojiu said that he wanted Dingning and others to be emperors.”

“It’s simply treasonous!”

“Asshole, how can this be!”

Emperor Jingwen was silent. Emperor Jingwen opened his eyes and was furious.

Emperor Jingwen stood up, controlled his hands not to tremble, and walked straight towards the direction of the King of Hell.

In response to Emperor Jingwen’s rage, no, it was a request, the King of Hell was polite and courteous, but refused.

It is said that everything in the world has its own destiny, and the dead should not worry about these things.

This time, Emperor Jingwen’s hands were not only shaking, but his whole body was shaking with anger.

Although Xiaojiu’s annexation of the State of Chen was worthy of recognition, the crime of wanting to pass on the country to the princess was enough to cover all his achievements so far. Even if his queen ascended the throne and became the emperor after Xiaojiu’s death, Emperor Jingwen would not be so bad, but princess, how could this be done?

However, there was no one in the world who could stop Xiaojiu. If there was anyone who could restrict him, he would not be so lawless.

When Emperor Jingwen thought of this, he became more and more desperate. It can be said that his whole spirit was collapsing, and he felt that the sky was about to fall.

After Emperor Jingwen returned, he happened to see General Xu muttering to himself, saying that if the late emperor knew about it, he would definitely not be happy.

This was not a question of whether he was happy or not. At this moment, Emperor Jingwen wanted to kill his own son.

Seeing that his father was really angry this time, so angry that he wanted to sever the father-son relationship with Xiaojiu, Emperor Taicheng on the side was not so difficult to accept. After all, he had few children and also had a princess. If he had had this wonderful idea at the beginning… Forget it, it’s impossible. Emperor Taicheng was confident in his abilities, but he also knew his own weight. What’s more, this was a matter that could ruin his reputation and even his life if he was not careful. With Emperor Taicheng’s temperament, he naturally would not take such a risk.

So what the Fourth Prince said before was not false at all when he said that Xiaojiu was a lunatic. Even if he was a lunatic, it was rare to be so crazy.

As for the little emperor on the side, he thought for a long time and couldn’t help asking: “If I had written my sister’s name on the will…”

Before the little emperor finished speaking, Emperor Taicheng interrupted him decisively: “Don’t think about it, it’s impossible. If you really wrote that kind of thing, your posthumous title would not be as simple as it is now.”

Without the corresponding strength, the civil and military officials in the court and even the common people would only think that the emperor was crazy. At that time, the throne could not be passed on, and the princess would have to die.

If you want to break this inherent inheritance, it is far from enough to just talk about it.

Thinking of this, Emperor Taicheng suddenly became curious about how Xiaojiu would act next. After all, from the beginning to now, all the words he said had been fulfilled, and he didn’t know if he would fail this time.

Anyway, his only heir had come here to accompany him early, so what else did Emperor Taicheng care about? And if it was the princess, with Xiaojiu being so short of manpower now, he would naturally try to grab everything he could. Presumably, his wife and daughter would also be able to get some light, so it seemed that there was nothing wrong with thinking about it.

As for the crown prince, his other wives, concubines and children have all disappeared, and have nothing to do with the Zhou Dynasty, so he doesn’t care too much.

It doesn’t matter whether Xiaojiu finally passes the throne to the prince or the princess.

As for the fourth prince and the second prince, the two of them are standing up. They don’t seem to be angry, but happy. Especially the fourth prince. Although he died, he didn’t make any mistakes before his death. In this way, the children he left behind are the direct bloodline of his father, and they are of standard orthodox origin. If Xiaojiu has any problems in the middle, maybe his children will have a chance to ascend to the throne. At that time, he will be named the emperor. Thinking of this, it can be regarded as a disguised realisation of his wish that he had no chance to realise.

Although the second prince was demoted to a commoner, if there is no one in the royal family in the future, his children may also be found again. Although the probability is very small, it is not impossible, right? Moreover, being outside without being monitored by Xiaojiu will make it easier for him to raise an army in the future. Who knows, one of his sons might be a genius, and he can defeat the others without doing anything. Why not?

Only a fool would ignore the actual benefits and choose those illusory so-called inheritances.

Only the emperor, the person involved, cares about these things. They just want to watch the fun and see if there are any benefits to be gained, and want to know how the future will develop.

Emperor Jingwen was stunned, not expecting that they thought so in their hearts.

For some reason, Emperor Jingwen felt that he was isolated by everyone.

No, could it be that they have seen Xiaojiu too much, so they finally started to be abnormal? !
