Prince Li's Mansion.

study.

"Miss Yang is here, please take a seat."

King Li moved his eyes away from the map of the palace city and personally ordered tea to be served.

Yang Ruoxian wears a white curtain hat, with white tulle slanting down, covering her head to shoulders, adding an endless sense of mystery to her.

The gauze of the curtain hat is hazy, and her beautiful facial contours can be vaguely seen, her thin eyebrows are curved, and her eyes are bright and clear, like a clear spring in a mountain stream.

However, her beautiful nose, red lips and chin cannot be seen clearly.

Because she also wore a veil.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yang Ruoxian nodded and sat down on the guest chair nearby.

After serving tea, King Li looked at her and said with a smile: "Thanks to you this time, I was able to take control of the situation so quickly!"

"It's a trivial matter, nothing to mention. I believe that in a few days, I won't be able to call you Prince, but... Your Majesty!" Yang Ruoxian's voice was cold and calm.

"Hahahahaha..." King Li laughed and waved his hands:

"This matter is too early, and it is useless to say more. If there are no accidents in the current situation, I will be very happy."

"..."

Even so, King Li felt secretly happy.

His Majesty!

This noble and sacred title, he only dared to fantasize about in his heart before, but now it is better, it seems that he can reach out and take it as his own!

He has been dreaming about this day.

"Miss Yang, the next few days will be very critical, so please give me your full help then!" Li Wangxiao said again in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Now that we have formed an alliance, we will both prosper and lose... But after the matter is completed, please remember your promise to us," Yang Ruoxian said.

"Don't worry, as long as I can ascend the throne and sit on the throne of Da Chen, I will help you restore your country!" King Li promised.

"..."

Next, both of them stood up, walked to the map of the palace city, pointed at it, and discussed how to invade the palace city, how to eradicate dissidents, how to finally ascend the throne, etc.

After the discussion was over, King Li rubbed his hands together and smiled from ear to ear:

"In this way, we will definitely succeed!"

Yang Ruoxian's face under the curtain also showed a smile. As long as they support King Li to ascend the throne of Nanchen, it will be of great benefit to their great cause of restoring the country.

However, just when she wanted to say something, a maid suddenly came in, leaned close to her ear, and whispered a few words to her...

After the maid left, Yang Ruoxian's expression changed slightly. The words he had just prepared seemed to be stillborn, but he could no longer say them.

"What's wrong with Miss Yang?" Prince Li noticed something strange about her, and his heart tightened.

Yang Ruoxian hesitated for a moment, and finally said calmly:

"Just now news came that Su Xian, the Grand Lieutenant of Daliang, secretly left the capital of God a few days ago and went straight to Jiangning. It is said that... his purpose is to prevent us from forming an alliance and support Princess Wu."

"What did I ask you to do? It turns out to be this?"

King Li smiled and waved his hand, his slightly nervous mood instantly relaxed, and comforted him with a smile:

"Although Su Xian is well-known, he is indeed a rare talent."

"But Miss Yang, don't forget, this is Nanchen! This is Jiangning! As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, but I don't believe that on my territory, he can still turn the world upside down?"

"..."

Yang Ruoxian still looked calm on the outside, but there was a lot less confidence in his voice as he said:

"Your Majesty, please don't forget that Su Xian was the instigator of the drastic changes in Northern Liao some time ago! The situation in Northern Liao at that time was no less dangerous than that in Nanchen now!"

After hearing this, King Li frowned slightly, but then he relaxed and said with a hearty smile:

"Miss Yang, don't worry. Although the current situation of my elder Chen is also dangerous, it is completely different from the situation in Beiliao at that time. We controlled the entire Jiangning City and surrounded the palace city."

"Under such circumstances, not even a bird can fly into the city. So what can Su Xian do to me, even if he is more capable? Can't he just do his work outside the city?"

"It's okay if Su Xian doesn't come. Now that he's here, don't even think about leaving! After I ascend the throne, I must capture him and hand him over to the girl!"

"..."

Yang Ruoxian thought carefully about King Li's words.

Analyzed the current situation again.

Su Xian really seems to have no idea.

There is no way to cause any trouble!

It is true that there are a large number of garrison troops stationed outside Jiangning City, but these garrison troops only respect the emperor's orders.

However, Emperor Chen, who was able to issue orders, was besieged by them in the palace, and his life and death were unknown...

Su Xian really has no place to draw on this time, and there is no treasure for him to dig. Moreover, he has come from a long distance. Even if he brings men and horses from Daliang, the number will not be very large...

With this thought in his mind, Yang Ruoxian gradually relaxed and regained his confidence.

Mainly because of the previous battles, whether it was the food in Jiacang City or the treasures in the northern part of Liao Kingdom, they all lost to Su Xian, which was a complete defeat.

There was already a shadow in Yang Ruoxian's heart.

Therefore, when she heard that Su Xian was coming, she lost confidence.

Fortunately, King Li helped her regain her confidence. She took a deep breath and said to herself:

"This time, we should be able to use King Li's influence to completely solve the problem of Su Xian!"

"..."

The other side.

Yangzhou.

It is said that after Su Xian and his party left the restaurant, they secretly crossed the Yangtze River and set foot in Jiangning Mansion, the jurisdiction of Nanchen Capital City.

There are three counties under the jurisdiction of Jiangning Prefecture: "Jiangning", "Shangyuan" and "Jurong". Among them, "Jiangning" and "Shangyuan" counties equally share the entire Jiangning city and are called "Jingxian".

The place where Su Xian and others landed is located in the north of Jiangning City.

They continued non-stop, bypassing the heavily defended Jiangning City and "Xuanwu Lake", and continued to move southeast, finally arriving at the foot of a mountain.

This mountain is called "Zhongshan". The terrain on the mountain is complex and covered with dense forests. It is the mausoleum area of ​​the Nanchen royal family, and few people usually visit it.

The location of Zhongshan is very special. Its southwest direction is close to the Imperial City in Jiangning City, and the straight-line distance is only a few miles away. This is the reason why they came here.

At the foot of Zhongshan Mountain.

Su Xian looked at the mountain and asked:

"Are you sure that there really is a secret passage in this mountain that can lead directly to your princess's mansion? Then, there really is a secret passage in your princess's mansion that can lead directly to Emperor Chen's bedroom?"

"Sure! Could it be that Young Master has forgotten that I am Princess Nanchen, and I am also in charge of An... In short, I know all the secrets of Jiangning City!" Chen Keyan replied.

"In that case, let's climb the mountain quickly." Li Qingniu said.

"good!"

"..."

So, under the leadership of Chen Keyan, everyone began to climb the mountain.

They crossed many mountains and walked many rugged mountain roads. They had to avoid people patrolling in the mountains along the way, so their speed was slow.

Finally, after half of the afternoon, they finally arrived at a very secluded mountain col.

"Here we are, right here."

Su Xian looked up and saw that this mountain col was surrounded by mountains on three sides. The mountains were all covered with lush forests. Only one side was covered with weeds as tall as a person. The terrain was rugged and there was no road at all.

"This is it? Is that right?" Su Xian asked.

"There is nothing wrong, it's just that this secret passage has been abandoned for decades, and no one except a very few people knows about it." Chen Keyan replied.

"That's true. Build the secret passage here so that even if someone passes by, it won't be easily discovered. It's getting late, so let's set off quickly!"

"good."

"..."

Chen Keyan immediately ordered to eradicate the weeds in front of the mountain col one by one and dig out a path. The air was suddenly filled with the smell of harvested plants.

Not long after, the group of people came to the depths of the mountain col. As the last handful of grass was cut off, a semi-circular arc hole appeared at the foot of the mountain col.

This hole can be as tall as a person. There are traces of artificial excavation on the surface of the stone, but it has long been covered with moss.

Su Xian took a closer look and saw that the inside of the cave was dark, without any light, and the entrance was covered with spider webs. It looked eerie and terrifying, like... the entrance to a tomb!
