Pingcheng.

When Yuan Yu died and Yuan Dun succeeded to the throne, the news that Yuan Long committed suicide came. The king of Anhuai who stayed in Pingcheng and the king of Rencheng, Yuanpi, were heartbroken, were heartbroken, but he had no intention of being independent or establishing others.

Yuan Ke hid in the mansion and shivered. He finally knew why He Ru made an excuse not long ago and asked the emperor to order him to return to Pingcheng to do a job. If he stayed in Yedu, he would probably have the same fate as the prince.

Without He Ru's assistance, he would not have the courage to imagine the throne. Thank God for being able to save his life.

Yuan Mulan is still in seclusion.

After Chu and Wei negotiated peace, she and Xu You had a happy night, completely let go of all their obsessions, returned to Pingcheng and began to attack the Grand Master. Qiu Liusong did not dare to disturb him, and only informed Yuanyu of his death outside the door, and received no response from it.

Then, various rumors spread everywhere, and dozens of versions of what happened that night in Yedu were born, and no one knew what was true or false. But the emperor bird stationed in Wuchuan Town suddenly returned to Pingcheng, and the lean camel was bigger than a horse. No matter how depressed Hou Guan Cao was, he was not comparable to ordinary people. He had the inside story of Yuan Dun's poisoning Yuan Yu and usurping the throne and reincarnation. He knew that the prince Yuanlong did not commit suicide, but was chased in the wild.

However, he didn't know that it was Zhu Xin and Qingming who jointly ambushed him, and he thought it was a dead soldier raised by Yuan Dun.

This shocked Yuan Ying and Yuan Pi Dawei, and they didn't know what to do.

"Two Your Highnesses, I think it's better to report this matter to Princess Xiurong as soon as possible, and she will make the decision." The emperor knew very well that Yuan Ying and Yuan Pi's abilities were not enough to deal with such a situation. He had to first find out Yuan Mulan's attitude before he could decide the next step.

Both agreed.

Princess Xiurong’s Mansion.

Outside the door of the secluded secret room.

"...Mu Lan, if Yuan Dun is really unfilial and usurped the throne, his crime should be punished, and we should attack him..."

Through the door, Yuan Pi said loudly.

Yuanying followed and said, "We know that you have been in seclusion at a critical moment, but now we still have to put state affairs first. Yuan Dun sent an edict from Yedu to ask us to go immediately and give a funeral to the Emperor Daxing. Whether to go or not, we have to discuss an idea."

The house was silent.

Just as everyone looked at each other and thought they would not see Yuan Mulan today, the door suddenly opened, and Yuan Mulan, wearing mourning clothes, stepped out slowly, her eyes swept over, like a sword light condensed into starlight, and disappeared again.

Qiu Liusong was shocked first, and then said in a trembling voice: "Princess, you..."

Yuan Mulan said lightly: "Yes, I have broken through the first-grade mountain gate and promoted to the Grand Master."

As soon as this statement was said, everyone was greatly energetic. At this time of crisis, a great master was undoubtedly like a tiger and a chance of winning.

"Okay, if the heavens don't destroy our Great Wei, we can use Mu Lan's reputation in the army and among the people, and we can raise our arms and shout, and Ye can be determined." Yuan Ying was also very happy.

Yuan Mulan looked at the emperor bird, her eyes showed a little sadness, and said, "How did the phoenix die?"

After He Ru escaped, she found her body in Luanniao Mansion. Yuan Dun took the opportunity to press the charge on He Ru's head, saying that he had run away fearlessly after killing Luanniao.

"suicide."

"It has nothing to do with He Ru?"

"It's nothing!" said the emperor bird: "He Ru fled Yedu, but Su Queji fought to the death, so he gave him a chance."

"Then do you have any evidence to prove that the second emperor brother killed the monarch?"

"The Second Highness bribed the eunuchs who were sent to the palace. The eunuchs summoned the prince that night. The eunuchs falsely sent the eunuchs and summoned the second highness to the palace. Then, the lord died..."

"Where is this eunuch?"

"He has been silenced. But he left a arrangement during his lifetime. Once he died, his unknown adopted son fled to Yedu with a secret letter, which recorded everything in detail..."

Yuan Mulan read the letter and did not make any sound for a long time. The terrifying pressure of the Grand Master almost made everyone unable to breathe. Then she heard her say, "I support the fifth highness Yuan Ke in inheriting the throne. What do you think?"

Yuan Ying and Yuan Pi looked at each other, nodded in unison, and said, "Agree."

Yuan Ke, who was still trembling in the mansion, succeeded Yu Pingcheng, who was in danger, and issued a clear edict to the world, saying that Yuan Dun had seven major crimes, including killing the king, killing his brother, and plotting rebellion. He also called on the army and civilians of Yedu to abandon the secret and turn to the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who wished to return to Pingcheng would be punished without any blame, and would be given a title and a reward.

Yuan Dun responded immediately, and also made clear instructions from the north and south, saying that Yuan Ke and Yuan Mulan were greedy for power and position, for their own selfishness, did not obey the will, and their crimes were unforgivable. Anyone who could bring two people to see him would be granted the title of king and the title of Duke, and would be rich and honored for many lifetimes.

Both sides regarded themselves as Zhengshuo of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Yuan Ke changed the Yuan Dynasty to Chengsheng, and had six prefectures and two towns. Yuan Du changed the Yuan Dynasty to Tianan, and had twelve prefectures and three towns.

The east-west confrontation and the splitting situation has been formed.

"...Why did the princess refuse to be the general?" Qiu Liusong asked.

Yuan Mulan sat in the courtyard before she could remove her mourning clothes, gently wiped Jinse, and said, "As a general, she was nothing more than to command the troops to fight Yedu. Now there are only 30,000 old soldiers in Pingcheng who have never been on the battlefield. The border troops in the six towns have been abandoned for more than ten years. The military discipline is corrupt and the soldiers are few and few. How can they win?"

"With the princess's method, it takes only a few years to train 50,000 elite soldiers. Why worry about not being able to overcome it?"

"Yedu is not without famous generals, how can you not see the truth? Yuan Dun will not give us this time. When he holds the throne firmly, he will immediately send troops to attack Pingcheng in the spring of next year..."

Yuan Mulan paused, raised his head, looked at the sky, and said, "The most important thing is that the longer we fight, the more severe the strength of the Great Wei will be. Don't forget that Chu is still eyeing it, how could he miss the opportunity?"

When it comes to Xu You, Qiu Liusong can only be speechless. Xu You and Xu Taiwei of Chu were like an insurmountable mountain, pressing tightly on the heads of all Wei people, like drowning people, unable to breathe, unable to struggle, and only despair.

"Can you just sit and wait for death?"

"No, there is still a way!"

Yuan Mulan took away Jinse and said, "I went to Yedu alone, broke into Taicheng and killed Yuan Dun. This can not only avenge my father, but also avoid killing each other, so that the State of Chu can take advantage of the opportunity."

"ah?"

Qiu Liusong was shocked and said, "Princess thinks twice!"

"This is the only way to save the situation!"

Yuan Mulan stood up and said, "If you stay in Pingcheng, if I succeed, everything will be fine and I will be able to extend my life for several more years for the Great Wei... If I fail, Yedu will definitely encircle Pingcheng. At that time, you will fight to protect Yuan Ke and retreat to the north of Yinshan Mountain, return to our ancestral spirit land, and preserve a bloodline for the Xianbei people."

"The princess is not optimistic about Yuan Dun's ability to deal with the Chu people?"

"The general situation of Chu State has been achieved. Even if the father and emperor are alive, they cannot compete with each other. I can only do my best to do my best and leave my destiny..."

After settled down all the things in Pingcheng, Yuan Mulan left without saying goodbye. Taking advantage of the night, she set off on the road alone. When she passed through a canyon in the Taihang Mountains, she suddenly felt a sense and flew up, poked out the pine trees on the cliffs, rising by dozens of feet, and came to the top of the mountain that pedestrians could not reach.

There was a person standing on the top of the mountain, turning his head and smiling, "Mu Lan, I have been waiting for you for many days!"
