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

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

In this round, 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 and have a high degree of credibility.

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 the Qi Kingdom), but 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 replaced the governor of Jimo City long ago. 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."

"According to what you said!" Jiang Chan said.

...

[After a year, you helped King Qi cultivate a group of bodyguards 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?" Jiang Chan was a little anxious, "Tian Heng already wants to usurp the throne!"

"I'm not sure yet... The situation is forcing me to do it!" Zhang Beichen also realized that there was no time for him to make further preparations.

Tian Heng has already begun to control the Qi Palace, and the subordinates he cultivated are almost 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 the 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 surprised when he received the news.

Jiang Chan was usually very afraid of him, she didn't dare to talk to him at all, she was worried 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 at all. It's just that the king has been getting closer to a guard recently, and that guard has been promoted by her to be the commander of the guards!"

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

[On the day of King Qi's birthday banquet, all the ministers went to 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 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 followers, but the followers didn't take it at all, and didn't take Jiang Chan's words seriously at all.

Zhang Beichen had no other choice, so he took the initiative to say: "My servant, please help the king dance sword!"

"Sure!" 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 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, and Zhang Beichen has no chance to pass through his defense to 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 man was no match for the Tian family's soldiers at all.

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

And the subordinates that 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 ladies, please continue."

Jiang Chan quickly came to the back 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, 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 that's the case, it's better to escape from the capital directly before they react! Go to Jimo City!"

Jiang Chan was a little hesitant. Running away now was equivalent to voluntarily giving up the throne and becoming a fugitive.

After 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 is acting uncharacteristically 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 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 Qi State are all under your control! We have done so many things for Qi State, whether it is the officials or the people, they are all grateful to our Tian family."

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

When Tian Heng heard his words, he didn't scold him, but was a little moved. He hesitated and said, "I am 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 attendant said: "Your Majesty is already drunk, and just passed out. Your Majesty asked the Prime Minister to entertain the ministers on your behalf."

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

Because Jiang Chan was a cowardly and timid girl in his eyes, and she didn't usually like to drink, and it was normal for her 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, I haven't found this person. He seems to have left the palace." The attendant 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, Your Majesty is not in the bedroom, and none of our eyeliners know where she is."

"What?" Tian E's expression changed, "Can a living person still disappear?"

He immediately informed Tian Heng of this matter.

Tian Heng thought for a while, then stood up suddenly, and shouted: "No, the little girl of the Jiang family may have escaped!"

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 voluntarily backed down, 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.

Someone had already met them on the road, so the road to escape 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 Kingdoms!

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 world's largest sea salt producer 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 had many heirs, and Tian Zhe was one of the better ones, so he was 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 Zhang Beichen, a rebel party, and asked people all over the world to keep looking for King Qi. If they can find him, they will reward him with a thousand taels!

At this time, the reward order had not 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 an old man with gray hair. When he saw Jiang Chan, he cried bitterly: "It's 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. I feel better when I leave the palace."

Zhang Beichen said: "Grandpa Jiang, Tian Heng has already issued an arrest warrant, please 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! He is the one who helped me escape from the palace."

"So that's how it is." Jiang Shan knew that this person was Jiang Chan's confidant, and his attitude towards him was a little better.

The two hid in Jiang Taigong's fief.

However, Qi State and the world were in a commotion because of King Qi's disappearance.

Tian Heng hadn't sat on the throne yet, but was only acting as a deputy. He planned to find Jiang Chan and force her to abdicate, or kill Jiang Chan directly, and then pass the blame on to others, avenging King Qi himself, and ascending the throne logically. 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, "Could it be that he wants to play revenge with King Qi this time?"

...

"What's the situation? Where's Zhang Beichen? 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 warrant has been sent to Jimo City, Tian Heng specially emphasized that Tian Zhe should go to Jiang Shan's fief to investigate. He felt that if King Qi did not escape from Qi State, the most likely thing is to defect to Jiang Shan.

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

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

"The grandpa is joking." Tian Zhe didn't want to start a war with Jiang Shan. The Jiang family has been running 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 harmony!" 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 any trouble. I have never heard of any rebellion!"

"Governor, you go back! If there is really a rebellious party, the old man will definitely send him to the sheriff himself!"

Tian Zhe wondered if he wanted 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 grandfather, and 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 "persuaded" Tian Zhe to discuss with Jiang Chan immediately after "persuading" Tian Zhe: "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 strength of Yan State is weak, and it will not dare to be an enemy of Qi State. Only Wei State, Zhao State or Chu State next to it have a chance. How about 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!"
