A Blessed Daughter

Chapter 619: Finale (4): So that’s it

Then Chu Lan asked Wei Jinyi: "I wonder how long the imperial army can resist when faced with the siege of the five-pronged army?"

Are you sure its the fifth route? Wei Jin also asked.

Chu Lans eyes darkened.

Then I heard Mrs. Lu say: "Xicheng Commander Yu Dongshan is a disciple of the old minister. The old minister has met him before entering the palace. If the old minister knows that the imperial edict is true, he is willing to pursue the legitimate heir and will not help the emperor to do evil."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Lu glanced at Wei Jinyi subconsciously.

He specifically went to find Yu Dongshan because of King Rui's instructions. It seemed that King Rui had long known that things would develop to this point.

One city is missing from the five cities, leaving four cities.

In this case, Chu Lan has a better chance of winning.

At this time, a slender young man walked out of the crowd: "We, the Tan family, are willing to work hard for King Rui to repay Princess Rui for saving the life of the head of the Tan family."

The speaker was Tan Ruyuan, the cousin of Tan Rufeng, the current commander of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division. Both of them were three sons of the Tan family who were rewarded by the emperor as a thank you for the Tan family's loan of grain to the court three years ago.

He should mean what Tan Rufeng meant.

What everyone doesnt know is when Princess Rui had an encounter with the reclusive head of the Tan family.

Chu Lan looked at Wei Ruo. He had already expected that she might become his resistance.

It's just that he never thought that she, a woman from the back house, could affect the military strength of the former dynasty.

Two of the five cities' military and horse divisions have surrendered to King Rui, and the imperial army is in the hands of King Rui.

The current situation is that the strength of the two is almost the same, but because the Forbidden Army is the guard force in the imperial city, it has a geographical advantage.

Calculated in this way, King Rui actually has a better chance of winning.

In the Qianqing Hall, the officials had different expressions.

Listening to the shouts and sounds of fighting that came from outside the palace from time to time, it was difficult to judge which side of the wine had the upper hand.

Everyone didn't know how to form a team for a while, for fear that making the wrong decision would ruin their future and lives.

At this time, Fan Shuyi, the Minister of Hubu, suddenly said: "We, the Fan clan, have always been loyal to the Holy One. We originally thought that King Jing inherited the destiny and succeeded to the Holy Throne, so we were obedient to him. Now that we know the truth, we can no longer interact with him." He is with me. I believe that as long as the truth about the late emperors edict and King Jings attempt to usurp the throne is reported to Fan Xiu, the commander of the Beicheng Army and Horses Division, he will definitely not continue to help the emperor!"

Fan Shuyi made an impassioned speech, which not only stated his current position, but also explained the reasons why the Fan clan members supported King Jing before.

Fan Shuyi's words were undoubtedly the last straw that broke Chu Lan's mind.

If the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division switches sides, this will tip the balance of victory to King Rui's side.

As expected, Fan Shuyi, this old fox...

He is always seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and he always adjusts to the wind.

Chu Lan had known that he would be such a person, but he thought that the power was all on his side. Although the Fan family could not fully trust him and had no chance to betray him, they did not want to lose power so quickly.

Wei Jin also seemed to have expected that the Fan family would defect before the battle, and said: "In that case, I will trouble Lord Fan to make a trip to where the commander of the Military and Horse Division in Beicheng is."

Zhang Yi and Fan Chengxu came in from outside the palace and walked up to Fan Shuyi. They had been waiting for a long time for Fan Shuyi to express his stance.

Uncle, please, the horses are ready and the way out of the palace has been prepared in advance. Fan Chengxu said to Fan Shuyi.

Seeing Fan Chengxu, Fan Shuyi was obviously stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Wei Jinyi. Obviously Fan Chengxu is here today to prepare for persuading Fan Shuyi. If Fan Shuyi doesn't figure it out on his own, Fan Chengxu will also come out to convince him.

All of this was actually within King Ruis plan!

Master Fan, please, Zhang Yi said.

Fan Shuyi no longer hesitated and left with Zhang Yi and Fan Chengxu.

Seeing this situation, Chu Lan knew that his situation was over.

He lost completely.

Perhaps he couldn't win from the beginning. His father, the Xu family and Chu Yi were all planning the game, with all the chess pieces in place, just waiting for him to enter the game.

Chu Lan looked at Wei Jinyi and said with a smile: "I really underestimated you, Ninth Brother. When you appeared in front of me with the imperial edict, I really thought you just got the imperial edict, and wanted to come as soon as you got the idea." To seize the throne, I didnt expect you to be so well prepared.

Dont blame me for underestimating the enemy. Its because you concealed yourself well enough in the past to make everyone believe that you really are someone who is incapable of competing for the throne.

After saying this, Chu Lan suddenly took action and swooped towards Wei Ruo like an arrow from a string.

Everyone thought that the person he was going to deal with was Prince Rui, but they didn't expect that the person he was going to attack was actually Princess Rui who was standing on the side of the hall.

Chu Lan's attack was so sudden that Wei Ruo only had time to take a step back. Chu Lan stabbed Wei Ruo straight with the dagger.

Amidst the lightning and flint, a white shadow came like lightning and kicked the dagger in Chu Lan's hand away.

Wei Jin also took action very timely, kicking Chu Lan away and blocking Wei Ruo's way.

Although he was confronting Chu Lan, Wei Jin was always paying attention to Wei Ruo's safety, so he took action as soon as Chu Lan took action.

Then he switched from defense to attack and used the Qing Kung Fu to push toward Chu Lan.

Wei Jin also had no weapons in his hands, only fists and feet, but when he made a move, the strikes of his fists and feet were like swords, spears, axes, and axes, with murderous intent.

Chu Lan dodged quickly, defended constantly, and looked for counterattacks in the gaps.

The two men fought from the east side of the hall to the west side, in front of all the civil and military officials, and in front of their father's mourning hall.

The fight between these two people is not unfamiliar to Wei Ruo. They had already fought against each other in Taizhou Prefecture. At that time, Chu Lan could not defeat Wei Jinyi.

The ministers were dumbfounded. Even the veteran General Lu, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, had seen such a fight for the first time.

The martial arts of the two men are among the best in the world. The speed of their attacks was so fast that their eyes could hardly keep up with them. The strength was so great that the pillars and the ground that were affected suffered huge damage.

The most puzzling thing for everyone is why King Rui has such high martial arts skills. Didn't he just recover from a serious illness?

The battle lasted for a stick of incense, and the winner gradually became apparent.

Wei Jinyi's attack was as fierce as a scourge, and his moves were so unpredictable that Chu Lan had no way to evade or hide.

In a panic, Chu Lan failed to dodge Wei Jinyi's charged kick in time and was kicked in the chest. He fell from the air and fell heavily to the ground.

Chu Lan covered her chest with one hand and supported her upper body on the ground with the other.

He looked at Wei Jinyi, was stunned for a long time, and finally laughed out loud.

"So that's it, that's it...Chu Yi, Chu Yi, you've done a really great job."

In this fight, Chu Lan recognized this familiar move. Chu Yi was Wang Jin, the bodyguard beside Wei Ruo.
