Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 175: Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, brilliant!

There is a commotion inside and outside the city. There must be brave men under the huge reward.

Ning Zhiwei looked calmly at the soldiers guarding the city gate. They had all been replaced by the Youth Battalion last night, all of whom were her confidants.

She took out the seal and said, "Lü Jimei, look at what this is?"

Lu Jimei's face changed.

Ning Zhiwei raised his voice and said, "Lü Jimei colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty and boldly killed his father. After being discovered, he fled the city overnight..."

Lu Jimei gasped. He had originally wanted to use the reputation and righteousness to incite the soldiers in the city to rebel, but he never expected that she would play this trick. She was too cunning.

"You're talking nonsense. I didn't do that. You killed my father."

Ning Zhiwei looked at him coldly, "Do you dare to swear to heaven that you really did not collude with the remnant of the previous dynasty, Su Mingjin?"

Why is Su Mingjin like a mouse hiding in the dark and never showing up?

Lu Jimei was very superstitious about oaths, so he didn't dare to swear casually. His face changed several times, "Then, do you dare to swear that you didn't kill my father?"

Ning Zhiwei spoke without hesitation, "I dare you, I swear to heaven right now, I didn't kill Marshal Lu."

It's true that he didn't die in her hands.

"Lü Jimei, it's your turn now. You look so unhappy. Are you afraid that your oath will come true?"

"You..." Lu Jimei was in a state of confusion. Every time he faced Ning Zhiwei, he felt that he was completely suppressed and unable to turn the situation around.

He didn't dare to swear, and everyone looked at him with something strange in their eyes.

Lu Jifang appeared on the city wall, "Brother, father just doesn't want to give up his throne to you temporarily, but you killed him so cruelly! You have no humanity!"

The fatal blow must be delivered by a brother.

With these words, the internal strife in the Lu family became a foregone conclusion, and it had nothing to do with Ning Zhiwei anymore.

Young Master Lu was furious. He never expected that he would stab him in the back. "Jifang, why are you helping the tyrant? You helped kill your father's enemy. Are you worthy of the love your father has shown you over the years?"

Lu Jifang was furious. "Brother, everyone saw you kill your father. There are countless witnesses. How can you still argue?"

Rong Jing raised his eyebrows. All his work last night was in vain. All the evidence had to be overturned and started over. It was not Ning Zhiwei's resistance that caused the incident. It was clearly an internal strife in the Lu family.

Young Master Lu was so angry that he jumped up and down, swearing and cursing. Then he shouted, "Attack the city."

The people behind him rushed over waving weapons and set up ladders, but a team appeared on the city wall and shot arrows, and screams rang out.

This army of veterans from the Ning family consisted of only a few hundred people, but they were experienced and well-trained. They took turns shooting and prevented the bandits from climbing up.

I don't know how long the battle lasted, but the other side suffered heavy losses, was frightened and was defeated.

"My lord, shall we chase after him?"

"Don't chase a desperate enemy." Ning Zhiwei waved his hand.

Zhou Hongye stood on the top of the city wall and looked into the distance, "Why can't I see Master Lu among the fleeing troops?"

Ning Zhiwei curled her lips and said, "He ran away a long time ago. The one in charge was the bearded man in blue."

Zhou Hongye: …The coach ran away first?! Deserting from the battlefield? What the hell.

Cleaning up the battlefield was the veterans’ strong point. They took away everything they could and dug a hole to bury it.

Rong Jing stood in front of the city wall for a long time without moving. Ning Zhiwei walked over with some surprise, "What's wrong?"

"I always feel that something is wrong. Lu Jimei has gathered a group of bandits to attack us. It's too hasty. It seems more like a diversion for our attention."

Ning Zhiwei narrowed his eyes and groaned for a moment, "Make a feint to the east and attack in the west!"

She was born with an extremely keen sense of war.

Rong Jing's eyes lit up, "Yes, that's great."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Hongye found that he could not keep up with their train of thought, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. He was a strategist, but his brain was not as quick as his lord's. How could this be acceptable?

Rong Jing said calmly, "They are aiming at Baiyun County."

Zhou Hongye's mind was moved, "Why is it Baiyun County? And not Qinghe or Qingyun County?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he reacted.

"What they lack most right now is weapons and equipment. The most urgent task is to seize an iron mine. My lord, we must find a way to stop them. We can't let them succeed. Baiyun County must be ours."

"I will personally lead the team there." Ning Zhiwei made a prompt decision and quickly made the best choice, but... she looked at Rong Jing, "You will have to stay and take charge of the situation."

Only he has the ability, means and strategy to suppress the demons and monsters in the city.

Rong Jing sighed softly. They had finally gotten together, but in the blink of an eye they had to separate again.

His heart was filled with sorrow, but for their future, even though he was reluctant, he had to put his children's personal feelings aside temporarily.

"Leave this to me, don't worry."

Seeing his reluctant eyes, Ning Zhiwei felt a little uncomfortable. She deliberately laughed to change the subject and said smugly, "Come to think of it, everyone should thank me. If I hadn't emptied the treasure house, Su Mingjin would have started a rebellion long ago."

Rong Jing looked at her lively and bright appearance, and felt itchy and wanted to pinch her face. "What is in the treasure house under the Furong Garden Lake?"

Ning Zhiwei's eyes sparkled, "Armor, weapons, gold and silver jewelry."

Rong Jing: ...Good guy.

"All the equipment that the last emperor of the previous dynasty painstakingly prepared for restoration of the country was given to you for free."

"Hahaha, thank him for making wedding dresses for me." Ning Zhiwei played a harsh trick on Su Mingjin. After being reborn, Su Mingjin must have gnashed his teeth in hatred and was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep.

"No wonder Su Mingjin hates you so much." Rong Jing smiled meaningfully. In fact, he had long noticed that Su Mingjin had a special feeling for Ning Zhiwei, but he was unaware of it.

Ning Zhiwei was so proud when she thought of Su Mingjin's madness after his plan failed. "I just like the way he hates me but can't get rid of me."

She suddenly remembered something, "Oh, right, didn't he go to collect the bodies? Why is he still running around outside?"

Rong Jing suddenly left the capital, but he still left spies there so that he could be the first to know about any movement in the capital.

"Don't mention it. That cunning guy actually got a double to come out for him. The double was pierced by thousands of arrows, but he ran away."

In this case, his subordinates couldn't blame him. They couldn't force him to go out and die.

He is so heartless even to his own father, let alone to others. Su Mingjin only cares about himself.

Ning Zhiwei shook her head slightly, "Where is Su Haozhi's body?"

"Burn them, grind their bones and scatter their ashes." This is the fate of traitors and rebels, which shocks the world.

Ning Zhiwei rolled her eyes and said, "I will submit a memorial to the new emperor."

In the imperial palace, in the imperial study, the new emperor sat blankly with a memorial in his hand, listening to his three assistant ministers discussing state affairs. However, he had no right to make the decisions.

Not long ago, the second assistant proposed in the court to return power to the new emperor and let the new emperor rule the country personally, but he died suddenly in the evening.

After hearing the news, the new king was ill for half a month, and after he recovered, he dared not ask anything.

A subordinate reported, "Master Prime Minister, this is the memorial from Princess Jingning."

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Princess Jingning? She had the power, but she was not a court official, so why was she joining in the fun?

"Bring it up."

Prime Minister Duan opened the memorial and took a look at it. "The Princess of Jingning County said that she visited Marshal Lu when she passed by Mingzhou. The eldest son of the Lu family colluded with the remnant of the previous dynasty, Su Mingjin, and killed his father to seize power. The youngest son of the Lu family gathered a group of old generals to resist."

"The eldest son of the Lu family defected, and the youngest son of the Lu family was elected as the head of the Lu family and the lord of Mingzhou."

Just a few simple sentences reveal the ever-changing and unpredictable situation in Mingzhou.

"besides……"

Suddenly, Prime Minister Duan, who had remained calm even when faced with a collapse of Mount Tai, changed his expression.

Everyone asked anxiously, "What else?"

Prime Minister Duan's throat was dry and his forehead was throbbing. "Su Mingjin led the people to flee to the northwest. Please ask the emperor to appoint her as the General of the Western Expedition. She will recruit soldiers to fight against the remnants of the previous dynasty and prevent them from causing trouble."

Everyone: ...A woman actually wants military power! This is ridiculous!
