Chapter 453: Behead the King! Magpie's Nest! [Subscribe]

In midsummer July, the Tongquetai Palace, with its red flowers and green trees in full bloom, is as quiet as a painting.

An old turtle was lying on a big rock in the middle of the lake, basking in the sun, with its neck stretched out and its head buried in the water, looking extremely comfortable.

Cao Cao received the good news, smiled, and turned to look at the other side of the study.

Diao Chan had just returned from the private storehouse. After settling the accounts with him, she was whispering with Zhen Mi.

Zhen Mi was wearing an apricot yellow dress with a fitted waist.

Diao Chan was wearing a light rose-colored long skirt.

The sunlight shone in from the window, and her rosy face was filled with a smile that captivated everyone.

Under the smooth neck is a round chest that is as straight and leisurely as a spring mountain.

The girl back then is now stunningly beautiful.

Cao Cao turned his gaze and the two women smiled at him.

"Husband, I'm going to take Luo Xi out for a while." Diao Chan said crisply.

Cao Cao nodded in agreement, and the two women flew away like butterflies.

He buried his head and continued to handle official business.

Half an hour later, all the memorials on hand were gone.

It was only the early afternoon, and today's official duties ended quite early.

Cao Cao stood up from the dragon throne, walked to the window, and looked out into the distance.

The spiritual perception spreads naturally.

He was aware of all the movements inside and outside the palace.

Cao Cao was soon attracted by the clear sound of reading.

The children's private school is adjacent to the building complex at the rear hall of the Tongquetai Palace.

In the school, many children were reading and practicing calligraphy, but the eldest princess secretly dozed off while practicing calligraphy.

Snapped!
The eldest princess rubbed her forehead and suddenly woke up from her doze, but she was angry but dared not say anything.

Among all the teachers who taught them, the only one who dared to hit her was her aunt Wen Ji.

There's no point telling anyone, it's all mom's fault.

Her Royal Highness the Princess stood at attention after being beaten and began to listen to the class seriously.

She was wearing a red Han skirt, her face was a little chubby, and her eyes were as bright as stars and spotless.

She had her hair tied in a bun on her head and wore two finger-sized pearls on her head, which made her look even more delicate and pretty.

But she is a naughty girl.

Wen Ji reached out and touched her little head, then walked to the front row to see another female student.

At this time, a leopard quietly appeared under the window beside the princess, with a small basket hanging around its neck. The princess quickly reached into the basket, and not knowing what it caught, she swallowed it whole with a look of satisfaction on her face.

This is the gluttony skill she learned from her greedy mother Yu Qing, and she always carries various snacks with her.

Soon it was time to leave school, and as soon as Wen Ji left, the princess waved her little hand.

A little fat boy immediately came up. He was Xun You’s youngest son, a top student among children. He was also the royal clerk of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and was specifically responsible for doing her homework.

This little fat boy has some special talents.

He was born with a talent for imitation, and his handwriting was very similar to that of the eldest princess, so he got the good job of being the eldest princess's ghostwriter.

Just as the princess threw the calligraphy book out, she heard a voice:
"Qing'er."

Daddy... The princess took back the book she had just thrown to the little fat boy at lightning speed, turned around and said to Cao Cao who appeared at the window:
"Father, Xun Yun insisted on helping me practice calligraphy, and if I disagreed, he would snatch my calligraphy scrolls away."

Xun You's youngest son, Xun Yunruo, nodded and said, "Uncle Emperor, I won't dare to do it again next time. Don't tell my father."

Was this a rehearsal beforehand? The daughter passed the blame on to Xun You's youngest son, and it was a seamless transition!

Cao Cao finished work early today. When he heard the sound of reading, he decided to come over to check it out. He happened to see his daughter having someone do her homework.

There are still several naughty kids in the room who are eager to try and help the eldest princess take responsibility.

The most enthusiastic one was another little black fat boy.

That is Xiahou Yuan's son, who has been determined to protect the eldest princess and His Highness since he was young.

Cao Cao stood outside the window and exchanged glances with Wen Ji beside him.

The children soon dispersed.

From the school building on the other side, out ran Cao Cao and Bian Mei's eldest son, the Second Prince, who was almost five years old.

When she walked out of the school gate, there was a row of seven dogs waiting outside the door to pick up Her Royal Highness the Princess from school.

The dogs pulled a small wooden cart.

The eldest princess sat in the carriage, and the dogs began to pull the carriage hard back home.

Seven dogs pulling a cart, this regulation is one level higher than that of the emperor.

The regulation passed down since the First Emperor was that the emperor had to stand six feet tall.

The Second Prince saw his sister getting in the car and hurriedly got on the car as well.

On the way back, Cao Cao asked his daughter, "Tell your father why you don't want to study and learn characters, and why you are so naughty."

The eldest princess quickly glanced at Cao Cao. If her father was angry, she would be ready to admit her mistake immediately.

If you are not angry, tell the truth.

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't seem angry, Her Royal Highness the Princess felt relieved:
“When my father was educating my eldest brother, he said that those in power must learn how to use people.

We should employ people according to their abilities.

Xun Yunruo is the best at calligraphy, so I let him write. No matter how well he learns, he still needs to be used by me, right? I just need to learn how to use people. "

This excuse is perfect.

Cao Cao glanced towards the north of Yecheng and thought that Goguryeo should be very lively now. It was time for the most critical and exciting part... After this busy period, he would have to pay attention to the children's education.

Goguryeo, Maru City.

The afterglow of the setting sun, like a warm orange flame, burns the sky.

Xu Tianyou walked into a huge mansion.

The owner of this mansion has a special identity.

King Go Nam-mu of Goryeo had a younger brother named Go Yeon-woo.

It is well known that this young king of Goryeo has two major hobbies: one is beauties and the other is hunting.

Two years ago, Xu Tianyou was ordered to come to these foreign countries in the northeast of China to carry out activities.

One of the reasons why he chose to run a seafood business was that he wanted to get close to this young prince of Goryeo.

Historically, Gao Nanwu's younger brother Gao Yeonyou would marry his sister-in-law, the queen, after his brother's death, and let her continue to be the queen, while he himself would become the next King of Goryeo.

A year and a half ago, with the support and planning of a powerful force behind him, Xu Tianyou successfully established contact with the young prince.

From then on, in the eyes of the outside world, he became the young prince's direct lackey, responsible for helping him collect beauties. His seafood business in Goguryeo grew bigger and bigger, also because of the protection of the young prince.

Shortly after entering the mansion, Xu Tianyou met Gao Yanyou, the next King of Goryeo.

Gao Yanyou has an above-average appearance, a long face, and is in his early thirties, about the same age as Xu Tianyou.

After more than a year of interactions and having gone through many tests, he has won the trust of the young prince and is regarded as his confidant.

The two met in a quiet room.

"Is the matter settled?"

Gao Yanyou was calm and composed, wearing a thin white long gown that revealed his muscular chest.

He leaned against the low couch behind him, his posture somewhat unintentionally indulgent.

"According to the king's orders, we have found a pair that will suit your requirements."

Xu Tianyou lowered his head, his respect was tinged with flattery, and his flattery was also slightly mercenary:

"It's just that... the price is a bit more expensive than expected."

Gao Yanyou said calmly: "There is a war going on outside, and everything is difficult. Price is not a problem."

"Bring the person in so I can see him."

Xu Tianyou quickly agreed and clapped his hands at the door.

Two women came in from outside the hall, and they looked somewhat similar.

But one is older and the other is a young girl.

Both of them have outstanding looks and are rare beauties.

Especially because of their taboo blood relationship, Gao Yanyou has always wanted to find such a pair of women, not for lust, but for other purposes.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the two women, examining them very carefully.

At this moment, Xu Tianyou suddenly jumped out from his kneeling position like a ghost, pushing off the ground with his hind feet.

His speed was so fast that even Gao Yanyou, who was quite skilled in martial arts, couldn't react.

In addition, he was observing the two beauties who had just entered, and had tested Xu Tianyou many times in the past, before he finally won his trust and got the chance to be alone.

He was completely unprepared for Xu Tianyou's sudden attack.

As soon as Gao Yanyou realized the danger, he felt a pain in his eyebrows.

At the same moment, Xu Tianyou's other hand pierced into his throat like a dagger.

Two-pronged attack, attacking the center of the eyebrows and the throat. Both of the two vital points were successful.

This is what Xu Tianyou, as Mermaid No. 1, had the honor of listening to the personal teaching of the "King of Law" when he said, when doing things, you must strive to be foolproof, that is, to attack the enemy's vital points, and after succeeding, you cannot relax and must try again.

Bright red blood oozed from Gao Yanyou's brows and throat, and severe pain spread.

His eyes went black and he fell headfirst.

Before his death, the Goryeo king was unable to compose even a single note.

He wanted to question Xu Tianyou, killing him in his own mansion would be tantamount to seeking death, so why did he do this?
When Xu Tianyou took action, the two women who came in also took action.

They just came in through the door, and there were four guards standing by the door.

The two women suddenly exploded and attacked from the flank, catching the guards off guard.

The gold threads on the cuffs of the gorgeous robes worn by the two women turned out to be weapons, extending strangely like thin needles.

The golden embroidery thread pierced into the temples of two of the guards in an instant, killing them without spilling blood.

The other two guards were startled and were about to take action, but the two women's bodies crossed and moved like ghosts.

There was a slight clicking sound, and it turned out that the golden wire was wrapped around the neck, strangling the other two guards.

These two women acted swiftly and their attacks were deadly.

After killing the guards, they closed the palace door and dragged the bodies into the house.

Outside the palace was a secluded courtyard. The other guards were at the porch and did not notice the movement here in time.

Inside the house, Xu Tianyou took out several small bottles, and a slight sound came from his body. Within three or four breaths, his face changed and he looked like Gao Yanyou, the young king of Goryeo.

The ointment he took out was used to disguise the dead Gao Yanyou.

A quarter of an hour later, Gao Yanyou's body turned into Xu Tianyou's appearance.

One of the reasons why Xu Tianyou was chosen to get close to the young Korean king was that the two had similar body shapes and facial features.

Therefore, it is relatively easy to disguise oneself and exchange identities.

Gao Yanyou's body turned into Xu Tianyou, who would be executed as a businessman after offending 'Gao Yanyou' and buried hastily.

As for the four dead guards, it was not difficult for Xu Tianyou, who took over Gao Yanyou's identity, to deal with them.

He can just make up an excuse and no one will investigate further.

And that very night, Gao Yanyou received a notice from the King of Goryeo as expected.

Because the war situation was tense, the King of Goryeo asked the royal family to go to the palace to discuss the matter immediately.

When he arrived at the palace, it was heavily guarded and there were guards everywhere.

The relationship between Gao Yanyou and the current Goryeo King Gao Nanmu is not harmonious, and they dislike each other.

Gao Yanyou behaves like a playboy and a loser, but he is actually doing it to survive.

He had to show that he posed no threat to the throne and had no desire for it in order to survive.

Gao Nanwu ascended the throne as the second son, and was particularly wary of the brothers around him.

After he ascended the throne, he found excuses and executed two of his brothers who he thought were a threat to him.

Gao Yanyou was always worried that his brother would kill him.

Gao Nanwu sat on the throne, surrounded by guards, as if this could give him some sense of security.

He looked around at the Goryeo royal family members who had walked into the hall, nearly a hundred of their direct relatives:
"The Wei army will be able to attack Wandu tomorrow afternoon, or at the latest tomorrow night.

The king wants to retreat eastward temporarily, and invites you all to come and discuss the matter of staying behind. We, the royal family of Goguryeo, cannot all leave.

Someone needs to stay behind to guard the capital."

All the members of the Goryeo royal family were shocked.

Most of the royal family members were used to a life of luxury. If they stayed at this time, they would be buried with Marutsu.

Now that the emperor is gone, those who stay behind will never have a good ending.

Once the city is breached, the dead will have no place to be buried.

Everyone wanted to run after him, and no one wanted to stay.

Under Gao Nanwu's gaze, everyone shrank back and avoided his sight.

Finally, Gao Nanwu's gaze fell on his younger brother Gao Yanyou and he said in a deep voice, "You stay."
