Yue Taigong felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stared blankly at the pool of flesh and blood not far away, and his brain was as chaotic as a ball of paste.
At the same time, ideas popped out uncontrollably.
Did Yu Haitang deliberately agree to forgive Lian'er, and then secretly instructed Yu Yuanba to carry out the killing move?
No, this method is too crude, and there is no need to kill it now.
Is that Yu Yuanba's own decision? It's very possible. With his reckless character, after knowing that Yu Canglan was assassinated by Lian'er and that the other party was the real culprit who secretly poisoned him, he might really be angry.
Then beat him to death.
It is even possible that Yu Yuanba is driving a wedge between himself and Yu Haitang in person. After all, the reason why he and Yu Haitang are on the same side at this moment is because of his relationship with Lian'er. But after he admitted his failure, he directly recognized Yu Haitang's succession.
After the throne.
That also completely eliminated the possibility of him taking charge of the Wuwei Palace.
That's why he took action against Yu Haitang at this critical moment when he agreed to forgive Lian'er.
But this is Yu Yuanba, does he really think so much, or does everything actually go back to the starting point, which is Yu Haitang's secret instructions, because the rougher the method, the higher the success rate.
At this moment, Yue Taigong felt that his brain was buzzing, and messy thoughts were constantly impacting his mental sea.
If it was Yu Gucheng who took action, he could narrow down the options to three, but just because it was Yu Yuanba who killed Yu Huang Lian, even though he had some guesses, he still felt that something was wrong.
.
It wasn't until Yu Haitang's angry shout that he interrupted his increasingly confusing thoughts.
"Fourth brother! What are you doing!"
"I still want to say, Third Sister, what are you doing!" Yu Yuanba angrily hammered the ground, and the sand that was shaken up dispersed half of the flesh and blood, and his eyes were red and he said.
"You actually want to forgive this bitch! She killed my eldest brother first, and then tried to kill me. It was because of this bitch's trouble that I retreated from the front line, which also put the palace at a disadvantage in the first battle!
During this period, how many soldiers died because of this bitch's selfish motives.
The chaotic storm outside has not stopped yet. As the mighty Wuwei Army of the first regiment in the northern border, those soldiers should have died defending their homeland, but now thousands of them have been buried in their ambitions!
So you said you wanted to forgive her?
Why!
Just because of Old Man Yue's kneeling?
How could his kneeling save that bitch from the blood debt? He could ignore the sacrifices of those iron-blooded soldiers!
The God of War in the Northern Territory!
Damn! How dare he admit punishment and kill!
Damn old man, go outside and look at the bodies of those soldiers who trusted you!
In front of those corpses, do you think they will forgive this bitch? Tell me!"
At this moment, Yu Yuanba was furious. He stepped forward and grabbed Yue Taigong's collar, dragging him out of the hall.
Even several military commanders who were close friends with Yue Taigong stood up to stop him without any shame at this time. They were also the leaders of an army, so they knew better that Yue Taigong's move not only betrayed King Wuwei, but also failed his subordinates.
Have trust.
"Haha, the Fourth Highness is right. How can you have the nerve to force the Third Highness to forgive this..." Gu Jiantang couldn't find the right words to describe Yuhuang Lian. He was worried about the other party's identity. He couldn't be like him.
Yu Yuanba is just like a bitch.
But the cynicism in his words was also undisguised.
No one, including other army commanders, has stood up to speak for Yue Taigong.
Because the only thing they respected about Yuhuang Lian was her identity as the daughter of Prince Wuwei, and this respect was completely wiped out because of her another arbitrary act.
Speaking of loyalty to King Wuwei, the eight wolves present will be the same.
But when it comes to his views on Yuhuang Lian, it becomes very complicated.
It stands to reason that if you are loyal to the king, you will naturally be loyal to your children.
But who makes Yuhuang Lian too unbearable? For those veteran military commanders, they have all seen the other party's savage willfulness, and more than ten years ago, because of her arbitrary words, the entire northern border was almost destroyed.
The crusade of the Xuan Dynasty.
The eight armies at that time were not at full strength, and they were already trying their best to fight the Northern Barbarians on the front line. If they were to be stabbed in the back by their own people again, the entire people of the Northern Territory would fall into despair.
Ultimately, this is because of Yuhuang Lian's words.
So it is conceivable that the few veteran wolves present will have a bad impression of this princess, not to mention that the first thing she did after her return almost destroyed the entire northern territory.
As for the military commanders who have just become Wolf Generals in recent years, they know that Yuhuang Lian is a name that cannot be mentioned, and they have vaguely heard some rumors about him.
But as a dead person, they don't need to pay much attention to him.
The result was an unexpected resurrection of the dead, and then there was this big 'surprise'.
And his behavior really vividly portrays the tiger father and dog daughter.
So after seeing Yu Yuan Ba hammer Yu Huang Lian to death, a few people were still secretly applauding.
Because they could all see clearly from the sidelines that Her Royal Highness the Princess was not willing to give in, and that she would definitely continue to cause trouble afterwards, but how could she continue to cause trouble in the North now?
It was the aura of being the only daughter of King Wuwei that made them dare not act rashly.
Fortunately, His Highness the Fourth Prince is reckless enough.
Now that they have forgotten the truth about Yu Huanglian's death, they are more thinking about how to deal with Yue Taigong.
At this moment, under Yu Haitang's instructions, Yu Gucheng has stopped Yu Yuanba and rescued Yue Taigong, who had become confused.
"Kill me." Yue Taigong whispered.
"The treatment of the fourth brother will be discussed separately. After all, she is the only bloodline of the adoptive father." Yu Haitang first set the tone for the 'unexpected' incident just now, and then changed her voice and said, "But some of what he said just now is not meaningful.
wrong.
Many of our soldiers from the Northern Territory died in this battle, and their behavior can actually be regarded as a betrayal of the entire Northern Territory.
General Yue can naturally die, you no longer care about reputation and influence.
But as for them, they have spent their whole life guarding the North, but in the end they have to bear the name of rebellion, and their family, friends and relatives will also be regarded as comrades by the people of the North, and they will be pointed at when they walk on the street.
.
More importantly, the Wuwei Army, a legion that had high hopes from the adoptive father, would be burdened with a stain that could never be washed away.
So are you sure you really want to end this farce with your death?"
Yue Taigong suddenly raised his head, and his originally cloudy eyes gained some brilliance.
It is easy to die, but how difficult is it to live?
He originally thought that after King Wuwei died, Yuhuang Lian died, and she also died, he no longer cared about anyone or anything, but now it seems that this identity that was once just forcibly attached to Yuhuangliang has also
It created an inseparable bond.
At this moment, he was no longer in the mood to think about the truth behind Yuhuang Lian's death.
Because there are still countless living people who are burdened with the sins they have to bear after making this stubborn decision.
"I......."
Yue Taigong wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, every word Yu Yuanba just said was like thunder exploding in his ears.
What can he ask for? Can he continue to rely on this old face to get His Highness to forgive those soldiers who just followed orders?
Betrayal is betrayal. Even if they listened to their own orders, after activating the defensive barrier and using the secret formation that gathered the power of the earth veins, the actions of those soldiers could be regarded as a stab in the heart of the entire Northern Territory.
"I......"
Yue Taigong fell to his knees weakly. He wanted to speak over and over again, but as soon as he said the word "I", he didn't know how to say the next words.
Lu Yuehong, the commander of the Shanzi Army who was closest to him, wanted to speak, but was stopped by the two commanders on the side.
Yue Taigong cannot bear the punishment of this incident, and even if he is joined by a commander of the Shanzi Army, he will not be able to expose the matter with a few light words.
After taking a deep breath, Yu Haitang said:
"Go to the front line. If the current Wuwei Army wants to wash away their current sins, they will go to the front line to kill the enemy. Each person needs to get ten heads to complete the task.
I will use public opinion to point out the situation of this battle to the Daxuan Dynasty. It was they who launched a surprise attack on us, but it is not a civil war in our palace. After that, I will issue a strict order to prohibit the participants from spreading it.
Next, the city defense of Wuwei City was handed over to the Lei Zijun, and we were no longer able to continue to participate in the rat tide war in the south.
At the same time, the natural disasters that will be caused by the power of the earth line will also require more troops to be stationed in those dangerous areas to protect against crises that may come at any time.
This part is the responsibility of the Fire Army and the Water Army. Your two armies retreated from the front line, just in time for the Wuwei Army to pick up.
However, the commander-in-chief of the frontline battlefield must be Commander Lu of the Shanzi Army. Even if he orders the soldiers of the Wuwei Army to launch a suicide attack, you must not refuse, and you must not take a step back on the next front.
Even if I fill it with the corpses of the Wuwei Army officers, I can find a bloody road to drive the enemy out of the northern border!
Yue Taigong, are you willing to take the order?"
"The guilty minister takes the order."
Yue Taigong's eyes were filled with tears. This was the best result he could think of.
This is also the only solution to prevent those officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Army from being stigmatized as traitors because they blindly follow themselves.
At the same time, he was also clearly aware of Yu Haitang's care.
Because the commander of the Shanzi Army, Lu Yuehong, was the commander with whom he had the best relationship, and he was from the Wuwei Army, it was impossible for the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Army to launch a suicide attack as he said.
More importantly, even after such a scandal, Yu Haitang still did not step down from his position as commander, and gave the Wuwei Army a chance to prove themselves again.
"The sinner thanks the king for his kindness."
Yue Taigong solemnly knelt down to Yu Haitang and bowed. He had knelt down before because of Jade Phoenix's pity, so it was naturally not sincere. But now he admitted from the bottom of his heart that it was the most correct thing for Yu Haitang to inherit the Wuwei Palace.
matter.
This is a completely different kind of leadership charisma from Jade Ignorance.
No matter what the other party's considerations were, the room and opportunity she left for him at this moment, or should I say benevolence, were worth the rest of his life to atone for his sins.
This time, Yu Haitang did not help him up immediately. Instead, after recognizing the gift, he looked at the other seven military commanders present who were also convinced.
From their point of view, no matter how ruthless Yu Haitang was, dragging Yue Taigong outside and cutting him into pieces, there was nothing wrong with it. However, the other party chose another way to deal with the Wuwei army, which surprised them again.
and admiration.
Because at this moment in Yu Haitang, they could vaguely see the man's magnanimity and courage.
This is also one of the characteristics that a monarch must possess.
In comparison, although Yu Yuanba decisively killed Yuhuang Lian, which made them feel a little relieved, this reckless behavior and the trait of retribution made him extremely real, but there was nothing admirable about him.
If it were Yu Yuanba who was responsible for dealing with Yue Taigong, he would probably kill him on the spot.
Perhaps from some perspectives, it is fun enough, but the hidden dangers in the north are not easy to solve.
Yue Taigong's prestige cannot be ignored, and he can be discredited, but he must not make the truth of this civil war known to the public at this critical moment of war with the Daxuan Dynasty, otherwise the front line will definitely collapse immediately.
The entire people in the north will also be caught in the flames of war, and the Wuwei Palace may even cease to exist.
Therefore, the way Yu Haitang handled the situation now convinced him, and he also recognized that the other party could definitely shoulder the heavy responsibility of the king.
Including Gu Jiantang, the commander of the Lei Zi Army who seemed to have the least dealing with Yue Taigong, also felt that this result was the best. Of course, part of the reason was that he would take over the city defense work of the largest city in the north.
This is one step closer to his goal of becoming the leader of the Eight Wolf Generals.
Immediately, Yu Haitang began to directly sort out and arrange the follow-up work in this dilapidated hall. Its ability to open the space channel at any time also means that after the affairs are properly arranged, the now somewhat chaotic Northern Territory will also restore order in the shortest possible time.
At the same time, the ceremony for Yu Haitang to take over the throne was quickly and simply arranged for one day later at the request of several military commanders.
On the other side, the man in purple who had been looking at the hall from a distance had already decided to leave.
"I thought you were going to take action just now." Bai Lihong looked slightly surprised, but he noticed that when the other party witnessed Yuhuang Lian's death, except for a little emotion, there was no other emotional reaction.
"I have saved her once." The man in purple said calmly.
"But she is your biological daughter. Although you have raised this daughter a little...tsk, tsk, tsk, tell me, you don't know how to educate..." Bai Lihong stopped abruptly, he
I thought of the other four adopted sons that the other party had adopted since childhood. These four people were impeccable in various fields.
Even Yu Yuanba, who seems to be the most reckless, has a good reputation among the military and civilians.
So why did Yuhuang Lian die?
"Is she really your biological daughter?" Bai Lihong asked suddenly, because he knew the destiny of the man in purple in front of him, Zhu Wuwu. It seemed that his original owner took over a widow with a baby.
So it is conceivable that because Yuhuang Lian is not his biological daughter, the man in purple will not be too demanding, and it is also why he dotes on her to the best of his ability, but in the end he is crippled.
"She is my daughter." The man in purple said calmly, "She is also my daughter."
The man in purple took one last look at Hua Lianxing, who was arranging a series of related matters in the hall, and raised a happy smile at the corner of his mouth.
