Chapter 187: A Cup of Wine to Gain Imperial Power

The man in black attacked Haitang Duoduo without saying a word.

His moves are sharp and strange, making him hard to predict.

Haitang Duoduo reacted in time and wielded her two axes to block. The man in black pressed forward step by step, and his attack was like a tide, which Haitang Duoduo easily resolved.

The situation on the field changed instantly, two against two.

Uesugi Tora and Langtao continued their fierce battle, with spears and chain knives constantly colliding and sparks flying.

The man in black then started a duel with Haitang Duoduo. The short axe and the mysterious weapon intertwined with each other, making a series of harsh sounds.

During the fierce fight between the man in black and Haitang Duoduo, they consciously led the battlefield into the woods.

Although Haitang Duoduo had some doubts in her heart, she was not afraid and followed decisively.

She moved swiftly into the woods, with a light figure, under the deliberate guidance of the man in black.

After entering the woods, the man in black suddenly signaled to stop.

Haitang Duoduo stopped attacking and looked at the man in black vigilantly.

The man in black slowly took off his black mask, revealing a familiar face - Fan Xian.

Fan Xian looked at Haitang Duoduo with a complicated emotion in his eyes.

"Saint, how are you?"

Fan Xian's voice echoed in the woods, with a calm and composed tone.

Haitang Duoduo said in confusion, "Fan Xian, what do you mean?"

Fan Xian sighed slightly and said, "It was Old Su's idea. He asked me to help.

They are very important to your little emperor, they can't die!"

Haitang Duoduo was silent for a moment and then said, "Okay!"

Seeing that Haitang Duoduo was so easy to talk to, Fan Xian felt relieved for a moment.

the other side.

Without Haitang Duoduo, Uesugi Tora relied on his rich combat experience and exchanged several blows with Langtao.

After a fierce fight, Lang Tao and Uesugi Tora were both seriously injured at this moment.

Uesugi Tora's face was pale, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were still firm.

Shangshanhu looked at Langtao and slowly persuaded him, "Langtao, today's battle has exhausted both you and me.

If we continue to fight, both sides will suffer.

It would be better to stop here and take a step back.

Sean has done me a favor, but I don't want to be your enemy. After all, we are all for Northern Qi."

There was a hint of sincerity and helplessness in Uesugi Tora's words.

Lang Tao was also seriously injured, his clothes were stained with blood, and his breathing was a little disordered.

After listening to what Uesugi Tora said, he frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Lang Tao knew in his heart that if he continued the battle today, there would be no good result.

The order from his master was important, but the current situation was very clear, and he definitely could not kill Sean.

In this case, we can only look for another opportunity.

After a moment of silence, Lang Tao sheathed his sword before speaking, “Uesugi Tiger, I can let Sean go for now.

But this matter will not end here. If I have the chance in the future, I will still kill him."

Uesugi Tora felt relieved, he knew that Langtao had made concessions.

Uesugi Tora cupped his hands and said, "Then it all depends on your ability!"

After the two finished talking, they turned around and left at the same time.

That afternoon, a piece of news spread in Shangjing City.

The former devil Sean was reappointed as the Jinyiwei pacification envoy! When the news came out, the high officials in the entire Shangjing City were terrified.

What no one expected was that after Sean came to power, he did not immediately start dealing with corrupt officials, but instead cleaned up the internal situation first.

At the same time, Uesugi Tora was punished and forced to temporarily return to the army because of this incident.

For a time, the court was in turmoil!
The Queen Mother's lineage has completely fallen, and the entire court is controlled by the young emperor Zhan Doudou!
In the next few days, all the Jinyiwei seemed to have gone crazy, frantically clearing out officials from the Empress Dowager's line.

From then on, the Queen Mother completely withdrew from the Northern Qi court!
The palace at night is brightly lit, like a dazzling palace.

The little emperor Zhan Doudou was dressed in gorgeous clothes and sat in the main seat, with a hint of majesty and expectation in his eyes.

On this quiet night, the little emperor Zhan Doudou invited Su Wenyi, Ku He and Sean to dinner.

At the dinner table, none of the four people spoke first.

The relationship between the four people at this table is quite complicated.

Zhan Doudou and Su Wenyi are allies, and the two work together to plan for the future of Northern Qi.

Su Wenyi allied with Sean, but Ku He was determined to kill Sean.

In addition, Ku He is also Zhan Doudou’s great uncle, his real uncle!
The theme of this dinner is to gain the support of Ku He.

After all, Ku He is Zhan Doudou's great uncle. He holds a very important position in Northern Qi and is also a grandmaster.

Zhan Doudou knew very well that if she could get Ku He's support, her path to becoming the empress would be smoother.

If we don’t get her plan, it may not be that easy!

As the dinner progressed, delicious food and fine wine were served one after another, but no one's attention was on the food.

Zhan Doudou gently put down the wine glass in his hand and slowly swept his eyes over everyone present.

She took a deep breath, as if gathering strength for the words she was about to speak.

"I have invited you all here today because I have something important to discuss with you."

"I am actually a woman."

In this tense atmosphere, time seemed to stand still.

Zhan Doudou waited quietly for Ku He's response, his heart filled with anxiety and anticipation.

This dinner will determine the future direction of Northern Qi and whether Zhan Doudou can realize his dream.

As soon as these words were spoken, Sean and Ku He were both shocked, and their eyes were focused on Zhan Doudou.

Su Wenyi was quite calm, after all, he had known it for a long time.

Zhan Doudou straightened his back and looked at the two of them with a determined gaze.

Zhan Doudou once again emphasized the fact that she is a woman, her voice clear and powerful: "I am a woman, but I have ambitions that are no less than men.

I want to become the first female emperor in the world and lead Northern Qi to glory.

I had to conceal my identity before.

In order to seize power, the Queen Mother forced me to disguise myself as a man and deceive the civil and military officials.

Over the years, I have been looking for an opportunity to break free from the Queen Mother's control, until today I finally succeeded in escaping the fate of being at the mercy of others.

I have made up my mind and will announce this to the world."

Her words were like stones thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

There was silence in the palace. Sean and Ku He were both shocked by Zhan Doudou's courage.

Zhan Doudou's eyes were always fixed on Ku He, and that expectant look seemed to tell of her determination and desire.

She longed for her uncle's understanding and support, because she knew very well that Ku He's attitude was crucial at this critical moment.

Ku He frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. His heart was full of contradictions and entanglements.

On the one hand, he knew very well that Zhan Doudou's decision would bring great changes to Northern Qi.

As the guardian of Northern Qi, he must carefully consider every decision.

　There is one more update, a little late, sorry sorry! I can't sit still right now because of something I can't explain, I feel so uncomfortable!!
