MTL - Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention-Chapter 193 "Hongmen Banquet"

   "Then we can only cultivate a new group of cronies!" Zhang Beichen said.

  【You asked King Qi for a sum of money to train your cronies. 】

  In this game, Jiang Chan followed Zhang Beichen's lead. She wanted to see if Zhang Beichen could help her turn the tables.

  In a short period of time, it is impossible to train dead soldiers.

  Zhang Beichen selected some of the sons of the public office and placed them in the palace.

   These people are of the same family as Jiang Chan, so they are more reliable.

  Launching a mutiny is easy to fail. In order to be safe, Zhang Beichen asked Jiang Chan to find a way out.

   "I don't have any cronies in Linzi (the capital of Qi State), only the former governor of Jimo City, Jiang Shan, is my uncle. If something happens to me, my uncle will definitely help me." Jiang Chan said.

  Jimo City is a coastal city and the second largest city in Qi State besides the capital city.

  The Jiang family has a lot of influence in Jimo, but in order to suppress the power of the government, Tian Heng has long replaced the governor of Jimo City. Now the governor of Jimo City is Tian Heng's son, Tian Zhe.

  Zhang Beichen thought about it: "Then contact Jiang Shan in advance and ask him to help."

   "As you say!" Jiang Chan said.

  …

  【After one year, you helped King Qi cultivate a group of bodyguards who are loyal to King Qi. Tian Heng became more and more arrogant, proclaimed himself king, and stood side by side with King Qi in the court. 】

   "Zhang Beichen, don't you want to do it yet?" Jiang Chan was a little anxious, "Tian Heng already wants to usurp the throne!"

   "It's not very sure now... The situation is forcing, so we can only do it!" Zhang Beichen also realized that there is no time for him to make further preparations.

  Tian Heng has already begun to control the Qi Palace, and the subordinates he cultivated are about to be replaced by Tian Heng's people.

  This shows that Tian Heng is already preparing to usurp the throne, and time waits for no one.

  【Using a birthday banquet as an excuse, King Qi hosted a banquet for his officials in the palace, including Prime Minister Tian Heng and General Tian E. 】

  …

   "Your Majesty wants to invite the real minister to the banquet?" Tian Heng was a little strange when he received the news.

  Jiang Chan was usually very afraid of him, and didn't dare to talk to him at all, worrying that she would be killed by him. Now that he unexpectedly invites himself to a banquet out of the norm, there must be something wrong.

  He recruited the eyeliner in the palace and asked about the situation, "Has your majesty done anything unusual recently?"

  The eyeliner replied: "Not really. It's just that the king has gotten closer to a guard recently, and that guard has been promoted by her to be the commander of the guards!"

   "Guard? Huh!" Tian Heng already had a decision in his mind.

  【On the day of King Qi's birthday banquet, all the ministers attended the banquet one after another. Tian Heng and Tian E also came to the banquet, and they brought many soldiers. 】

  The first half of the birthday banquet was held as scheduled.

  Zhang Beichen observed the situation. He wanted to poison him, but Tian Heng was very shrewd. Before drinking, he asked his servants to check the food and drinks, so there was no chance.

  The Tian family brothers brought too many soldiers, so Zhang Beichen gave Jiang Chan a look.

  Jiang Chan said: "The king is happy today, and the soldiers outside also enjoy wine, let them congratulate together."

   "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!" Tian Heng thanked the entourages, but the entourages didn't take any blood and didn't take Jiang Chan's words seriously.

   Zhang Beichen had no other choice, so he took the initiative to say: "Please dance the sword for the king to cheer for the king!"

   "Quite!" Jiang Chan almost understood what Zhang Beichen was thinking. He probably wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Tian Heng and assassinate him.

  Zhang Beichen drew out his sword and approached Tian Heng while dancing the sword.

  Tian E noticed the vision, and said: "This general is in high spirits, and I also want to dance the sword for the king to add to the fun!"

   As he spoke, he drew his sword to meet Zhang Beichen regardless of whether Jiang Chan agreed or not.

  Tian Heng himself is a master of the Nine Realms, Zhang Beichen has no chance to pass through his defense and assassinate Tian Heng.

   Until the end of the sword dance, Zhang Beichen had no chance of assassination.

   "Do it directly?" Zhang Beichen observed for a while, and his little people were no match for the soldiers of the Tian family.

  Tian E brought elite soldiers, all above the fifth realm!

  And the subordinates I have trained this year can't be their opponents at all.

  Zhang Beichen gave Jiang Chan another look to signal her to leave.

  Jiang Chan drank a glass of wine, pretended to go to the bathroom, and said, "This king needs to leave for a while, dear friends, please continue."

  Jiang Chan quickly came to the rear of the palace, where Zhang Beichen was already waiting.

  She asked nervously: "Zhang Beichen, why haven't you started yet?"

  Zhang Beichen shook his head, and said: "Brothers of the Tian family are fully prepared, and we have no chance to act. Forced action will definitely fail."

   "Then what should we do now?" Jiang Chan asked.

  Zhang Beichen's eyes turned hard, and he said, "Run away!"

   "Run?" Jiang Chan was a little surprised, and asked, "Why did you run?"

  Zhang Beichen analyzed: "Our actions just now have already made the Tian family brothers suspicious. They will definitely think that we want to take this opportunity to kill them."

   "Now Tian Heng and Tian E have doubts about the king. As long as they think that the king is out of control, they will quickly get rid of the king and me. Usurp the throne or support a new puppet!"

   "Since this is the case, it is better to flee the capital directly before they react! Go to Jimo City!"

  Jiang Chan hesitated a little, escaping now is equivalent to voluntarily giving up the throne and becoming a fugitive.

  So many simulations, she has never used this method.

   "Forget it, this king will trust you just once." Jiang Chan said.

  She immediately disguised herself, left the palace under the cover of Zhang Beichen and a group of cronies, and quickly fled outside the city.

  …

  At the wine table, Tian Heng and Tian E were discussing what happened just now.

   "Your Majesty's uncharacteristic behavior today, I'm afraid he has a poisonous plan!" Tian Heng said in a low voice.

   "Brother!" Tian E said, "Just now the king's attendant said he was going to dance the sword, but I thought that he wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate my brother! I was stopped by my servant, so I gave up!"

   "It makes sense, and I think so too!" Tian Heng nodded slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, "King Qi is getting older, and he is afraid that he is unwilling to be controlled by me, so he wants to murder me!"

  Tian E's face turned cold, and he said: "Brother, the government and military power of the Qi State are all under your control! We have done so many things for the Qi State, whether it is the officials or the people, they are all grateful to our Tian family."

   "Since this is the case, why do you want Jiang Chan to do it? It's better not to do it, but to continue, brother ascends the throne, and let my Tian family sit on the throne!"

  Tian Heng didn't scold him when he heard what he said, but was a little moved. He hesitated and said, "I'm afraid that some people will not accept my enthronement at this time."

   "Anyone who refuses to accept will be killed!" Tian E said.

   "Let me think twice about this!" Tian Heng was still struggling, and after a while, he frowned and said, "Where is King Qi? Why didn't you come out?"

  He asked King Qi's valet.

  The close attendant said: "Your Majesty is already drunk, and just passed out. Your Majesty, please ask the prime minister to entertain the ministers on your behalf."

   "Really?" Tian Heng didn't think too much about it.

  Because Jiang Chan is a cowardly and timid girl in his eyes, and she doesn't usually like to drink, and it's normal to get drunk.

  Tian Heng continued to drink with his ministers, but Tian E secretly ordered his followers: "Go, find the man who danced the sword just now, and I will kill him!"

   "Yes!" The entourage immediately went to look for Zhang Beichen, searched in the palace, but did not find Zhang Beichen.

   "General, this person has not been found. He seems to have left the palace." The entourage reported.

   "Leaving the palace? It seems that this person must be the king's assassin!" Tian E concluded, "Go, see if the king is sleeping in the palace now?"

   "Obey!" The entourage went to the palace to check again.

   Soon, he sent a message: "General, the king is not in the palace, and none of our eyeliners know where she is."

   "What?" Tian E's expression changed, "A living person, can he disappear?"

  He immediately informed Tian Heng of the matter.

  Tian Heng thought for a while, then stood up suddenly, and shouted: "No, the little girl of the Jiang family, I'm afraid she has already run away!"

  He directly ordered the soldiers: "Quickly, find King Qi! Find her inside and outside the palace! Seal the city gate! Even if you dig three feet into the ground, find her!"

   "Yes!" The soldiers hurried to find someone.

   Sure enough, they did not find King Qi in the palace.

   "Bastard!" Tian Heng scolded, "If she is allowed to run away, even if the truth is enthroned, it will be a dishonorable name!"

  If he usurps the throne, it will inevitably cause national criticism and dissatisfaction.

  If Jiang Chan took the initiative to abdicate, at least in name she would not be wronged.

  …

  At this moment, Zhang Beichen and Jiang Chan had fled the capital of Qi State and were on their way to Jimo City.

  There were already people to meet them on the road, so the escape road was relatively smooth, and there was no scene of fleeing in the wilderness simulated by Zhao Guo before.

   Half a month later, the two arrived outside Jimo City.

   Jimo City is the second largest city in Qi State!

  It is a seaside city, and it is also the largest port city in the seven countries!

  In this era, sea transportation is not yet developed, but Qi State has sea ships, which are mainly used to transport sea salt!

  Jimo City is also the largest sea salt production place in the world at this time, so the city is very rich.

  At this time, the governor of Jimo City was Tian Zhe, the son of Tian Heng.

  Tian Heng has many heirs, and Tian Zhe is one of the better ones, so he is deeply loved by Tian Heng and let him take charge of Jimo City.

  Tian Heng has secretly issued an order, claiming that King Qi was held hostage by the rebellious party Zhang Beichen, and asked people all over the world to keep looking for King Qi.

  At this time, the reward order had not yet been issued to Jimo City, and Tian Zhe didn't care.

  Zhang Beichen and Jiang Chan did not enter the city, but went to a county near Jimo.

   This is the fiefdom of Jiang Chan's uncle, Jiang Shan.

  Zhang Beichen and Jiang Chan successfully met Jiang Shan.

  Jiang Shan was a gray-haired old man. When he saw Jiang Chan, he cried bitterly: "It is my Jiang Shan's fault that the king has fallen here!"

  Jiang Chan comforted: "Uncle, don't be sad. There is no freedom in the palace, and this king feels better after leaving the palace."

  Zhang Beichen said: "Grandpa Jiang, Tian Heng has issued an arrest warrant, please be sure to keep the king's news secret, otherwise the lives of both the king and the prince will be in danger!"

  Jiang Shan said: "This old man is natural."

  He asked again: "Who are you?"

  Jiang Chan said: "His name is Zhang Beichen, and he is my king's bodyguard! It was he who helped me escape from the palace."

   "I see." Jiang Shan knew that this person was Jiang Chan's confidant, so his attitude towards him was better.

  The two of them hid in Jiang Taigong's fief.

  The country of Qi and the whole world were in a commotion because of King Qi's disappearance.

  Tian Heng has not yet sat on the throne at this time, but is acting as a deputy. He intends to find Jiang Chan and force her to step aside, or directly kill Jiang Chan, and then pass the blame on to others to avenge King Qi himself. In short, we must stand up for righteousness.

  …

   "King Qi is missing? With Zhang Beichen?" Zhao Yun, who heard the news, seemed to think of something, "Is it possible that he wants to play revenge with King Qi this time?"

  …

   "What's the situation? Where is Zhang Beichen from? Qi Wang is too good!" Wei Yao didn't start to collect Zhang Beichen's favorability in this round, and the two disappeared.

   "Continue to send spies to this king, keep looking!"

  …

"It seems that the king of Qi in this round should be Tian Heng. Zhang Beichen and Jiang Chan are not dead, and they will definitely come out to make troubles in the near future. The state of Qi has no energy to manage the state of Yan in this round. It just gives the king time to develop. .” Yan Qingwu began to vigorously develop the country of Yan.

  Han Wang, Chu Wang, etc. are hurrying to develop.

  …

  The search and arrest warrant has been issued to Jimo City. Tian Heng specially emphasized that he asked Tian Zhe to go to Jiang Shan's fief to investigate. He felt that if King Qi did not escape from Qi State, the most likely thing was to defect to Jiang Shan.

  Tian Zhe brought his soldiers to Jiang Shan's fief to investigate.

   "Governor, what do you mean?" Jiang Shan saw that the other party was carrying a soldier, and asked, "Could it be that you want to use troops against the old man?"

   "The grandpa was joking." Tian Zhe didn't want to start a war with Jiang Shan. The Jiang family has been here for many years, and if there was a fight, he would not be sure.

   "I received a report that the rebels may have escaped into your Jiang family's territory, so I came to check. I hope the grandfather will cooperate with you so as not to hurt the peace!" Tian Zhe's tone was threatening.

  Jiang Shan was not frightened by him at all, but scolded: "How could this matter, the old man has been staying in the fief, and has never caused trouble. I have never heard of any rebellion!"

   "Governor, you go back! If there is any disorder, the old man will definitely send him to the sheriff himself!"

  Tian Zhe pondered whether to search forcibly.

  At this time, the servants of the Jiang family all held weapons and looked at each other maliciously.

  Tian Zhe thought for a moment, and said: "Forget it, then please pay more attention to the Grand Duke, I will come back in ten days!"

  The reason why he said ten days was to mobilize more manpower.

   Summon the nearby sergeants, how will Jiang Shan stop him then?

  …

  Jiang Shan immediately approached Jiang Chan after "persuading" Tian Zhe to discuss: "Your Majesty, the Tian family seems to be determined to investigate this place. When they call in soldiers, I will not be able to keep you. Your Majesty, you might as well make a plan early!"

  Jiang Shan asked, "Is there anything my uncle can do?"

Jiang Shan thought and said: "For the current plan, the king can only go to lead the country to borrow troops. The national power of Yan is weak, and it will not dare to be an enemy of Qi. Only the neighboring Wei, Zhao or Chu have a chance. Why not Go to Zhao State first and ask King Zhao for help?"

  Jiang Chan hesitated, and then asked Zhang Beichen: "Zhang Beichen, what can you do?"

  Zhang Beichen said: "I think that I can't go to other countries at this time, but stay in Jimo City!"
