"...Revenge! Go to Daxuan and kill Emperor Xuan, go to Ghost City and kill the Ghost Lord! I will lead my troops to fight there now!"
"Say something, brother!"
"Aren't you going to avenge your adoptive father? Are you just going to accept it calmly?"
Before entering the hall, Ying Wuque heard angry and sad roars one after another. Without even thinking, he knew that it was his fourth brother who looked innocent. Among the five adopted sons adopted by his adoptive father, he was probably the only one.
He truly treats his son with sincerity.
Dong Dong Dong——!
Ying Wuque knocked on the door politely, then after hearing the sound inside, he pushed the door open and entered.
"Brother... and everyone, I'm sorry, I came down late."
Ying Wuque bowed his hands, his expression a little surprised. He originally thought that there would only be five brothers in the hall, but he found that there were a few unfamiliar faces among them, and judging from their tyrannical auras, they probably crushed him.
It's almost like strangling a small ant to death.
Just when he was about to nod to Yu Canglan who was sitting in the main seat, and then huddle quietly in the corner like a transparent boy, he was pulled into the center of the hall by a brute force.
"Fifth brother, you also agree with my idea, right? You must go and avenge your adoptive father immediately!"
Looking at Yu Yuanba's indignant look on the side, Ying Wuque still looked a little dazed and said:
"My foster father... was he... really killed? I don't believe it!"
Then he broke away from Yu Yuanba's arm and found an empty seat at the end in a daze, looking forward in a trance.
His face did not show too much grief, because judging from the time he had paid homage to the palace, his excessive emotion would appear a bit false. On the contrary, the current questioning of the authenticity of the information was more in line with him.
Current persona.
Yu Yuanba looked at the dumbfounded Ying Wuque, scratching his head and ears anxiously.
"Okay, Yuanba, you go back to your seat first." Yu Canglan said in a deep voice.
The first adopted son under King Wuwei was assigned to manage all affairs of the palace before he went to Lingjue Mountain. Naturally, Ying Wuque had many exchanges with him.
Rumor has it that he works as a scribe, and is usually responsible for the logistics affairs of all the armies of the palace. However, his temperament is not as gentle and elegant as the scribes Ying Wuque knows. On the contrary, he has an aura of killing that he has gained from experience on the battlefield.
gas.
King Wuwei mentioned more than once that his first adopted son was the person most like him.
However, according to Ying Wuque's time spent with him, he discovered that there is a 70% chance that the other party is also a young man sent by a certain force.
Before the news of his death reached Prince Wuwei's palace, it was easy to say that Yu Canglan's behavior was rigorous and low-key, and all matters were handled in an orderly manner.
But when the rumor spread throughout Beixuan Prefecture, he decisively began to deploy troops and generals, immediately shrinking the number of troops, and ordered the recall of Yu Haitang and the troops fighting in Northwest Prefecture, and the words he used were even more threatening.
It seems that if Yu Haitang disobeys orders, he will be directly included in the ranks of traitors.
Wuwei City was under direct martial law. His fifth adopted son was placed under house arrest, and the military power of Yu Yuanba's subordinates was also taken back. His strong style immediately stabilized the originally chaotic order.
Logically speaking, what he did was pretty good.
But just because he couldn't find fault and the instructions were issued too quickly, Ying Wuque felt that something was wrong.
After all, this was the death of a foster father who was more important than a real father. In normal times, the eldest son of the royal family had a reputation as a loving father and a filial son. Such an overly rational method was completely inconsistent with the mission he had set.
Persona.
More importantly, a fierce general from the anti-Qin alliance convened by Ying Wuque the day before yesterday quietly reported to him that he had discovered that the Northern Barbarians had sneaked into Wuwei City, and then they wanted to conduct a detailed investigation. As a result, the next day, this
My brother died unexpectedly.
The reason is that the fierce general brother had a conflict with the rebels who disrupted the order in Wuwei City, and was killed by the opponent because he was temporarily defeated.
There should be no doubt about this, after all, when his good brother informed him of this matter with a little regret, there was also a bad woman with an indifferent expression beside him. The woman seemed to be taking care of her nails casually, but she felt that
He will be scratched to death with one claw in the next second.
At this moment, this woman is also in this hall. She is the fourth in the Ten Heavens of Wuwang Pavilion, codenamed Ding, the owner of Xuanwu Tower, Jellyfish Yinji.
However, after Ying Wuque entered the hall, she did not cast any warning glances at him, because his attention was always on the woman sitting opposite her, with the word "B" embroidered on her chest.
This is also the only Wuwang Pavilion master currently present.
"General Yue, I want to know the current attitude of the eight major military forces." Yu Canglan did not immediately attack these adopted sons and daughters, but looked at a middle-aged tough guy wearing chainmail.
This person is Yue Taigong, the leader of the Eight Wolf Generals, and he is currently the most prestigious person among the eight major military forces.
And as long as he wants to set up another flag, based on his reputation in the army and the negative impact caused by the death of King Wuwei, based on the information Ying Wuque investigated in the palace during this period, at least 50% of the troops will follow.
He leaves.
But after he entered this hall single-handedly, he had proven his loyalty.
"The eight major armies have always been loyal to the king, and they will always be soldiers of Prince Wuwei's palace."
After saying this, Yue Taigong nodded to Yu Canglan, and then pretended to be asleep and closed his eyes.
This meaning is already very obvious. As long as they can choose the next King of Wuwei, the military will support it unconditionally. Of course, the military will not take any position in the process until the result comes out.
This is very consistent with the decision of a soldier, and it can also preserve the power of the Wuwei Palace as much as possible in the battle for the king.
Yu Canglan seemed to have expected this, but he still breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and saluted Yue Taigong, and then looked at a man who was well-dressed and had an unworldly temperament.
"Master Huang, how will Shanqing Huang choose?"
Huang Shang sighed slightly:
"For the death of King Wuwei, everyone in the Shanqing Huang family is extremely sad. We, the Huang family, have always been the strongest supporters and most loyal partners of King Wuwei's palace.
Next, the Huang family will continue to move forward for the ambitions and ideals of King Wuwei. I only hope that the next King Wuwei can treat our Shanqing Huang family well."
[Huang Shang, an important figure mentioned in the Jin Dynasty's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", was originally a civil servant in the Northern Song Dynasty. When compiling Taoist collections, he realized that he did not have the ability to practice martial arts without a teacher.
Later, he killed many figures from various Ming sects and became enemies with many sects. In order to take revenge, he hid in the mountains alone to study martial arts.
Because all he thought about day and night was martial arts and nothing else, more than forty years had passed before he knew it. As a result, when he came out for revenge, all his enemies were gone.
Finally, he found a woman. When he started fighting with him, she was just a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. But when Huang Shang found her, he saw that she had become an old woman in her sixties, lying on the bed just panting. There was no need for him to take action, she would die on her own in a few days.
The deep hatred he had accumulated in his heart for decades suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he even fed the old woman porridge and medicine.
In the end, he passed on what he had learned all his life into the "Nine Yin Scriptures" to future generations, and hid the scriptures in a very secret place, only to be seen again decades later.]
Huang Shang's words put his posture in a lower position than that of Yue Taigong. After all, the power in his hands could not be compared with the power of the eight major armies, and when it came to the struggle for power, he really didn't want to get involved.
The Huang family of Shanqing is fundamentally different from the Yunyue Shi family of the northwest state capital. The cooperation between the Huang family and Yu Wuli can be attributed to thirty years ago. They already belong to the lineage of the King of Wuwei who cannot take off the label.
Even if Yu ignores his own death, it is impossible for him to jump off this big ship with a hole in it.
Regarding this, Yu Canglan's attitude was not the same as facing Yue Taigong. He frowned slightly, said nothing, and just nodded lightly.
Then he raised his eyebrows, looked at Jellyfish Yin Ji and said:
"What do you think of the original poster?"
"I support the eldest son."
Jellyfish Yinji's words made Yue Taigong, who was pretending to be asleep, raise his eyes. Huang Shang looked at the expressionless Yu Gucheng and Yu Haitang, and then frowned slightly.
At this moment, a smile finally appeared on Yu Canglan's face. With the two parties neutral, Jellyfish Yinji's position became particularly critical.
But when he looked at Yan Yuxin, who was sitting opposite Jellyfish Yinji, his smile suddenly faded.
"This senior, I don't know Wuwang Pavilion..."
"I cannot represent Wuwang Pavilion." Yan Yuxin's attitude towards Yu Canglan was very cold, and she interrupted him rudely.
This made Yu Canglan nodded awkwardly, and then asked:
"Then A, who can represent Wuwang Pavilion, where is he now?"
"I don't know."
"At this point, there's no need to hide A's identity anymore, right? Is he a boy or a girl?"
"I don't know."
"What's your age?"
"I don't know."
"Then before being assigned a task by his adoptive father, he should always leave some clues. In addition, if he is not here, should the senior take charge of Wuwang Pavilion?"
"I don't know."
Long before returning to Prince Wuwei's Mansion, Hua Lianxing taught Yan Yuxin how to deal with this power struggle, which was to rely on her strength, use her will, and just ask questions if she didn't want to mention them.
Besides, Yan Yuxin doesn’t know much about herself. If Hua Lianxing’s previous guess is correct, ‘A’ is probably Yu Huanglian, the only daughter of Yu who faked her death more than ten years ago. As a bitch with a paranoid mind, Yan Yuxin
If his true identity had been known, he would have been strangled to death quietly.
It is even less possible for him to maintain his prestige in King Wu's Pavilion.
But at this moment, facing Yan Yuxin who didn't know anything, Yu Canglan looked very embarrassed.
He could get angry with Huang Shang, because the presence of Jellyfish Yinji was enough to ensure his life safety, but if Yan Yuxin was angered, Jellyfish Yinji would be dead if she stepped forward.
After all, there is a ‘B’ and a ‘D’, the order in King Wu’s Pavilion is already the most powerful proof.
Then Yu Canglan took a deep breath, looked at Yan Yuxin seriously and asked:
"Then senior, are you willing to support me in taking charge of the Wuwei Palace?"
Yan Yuxin raised her eyebrows. Her eyes, which did not possess outstanding beauty but were filled with strong coercion, looked deeply at Yu Canglan and said:
"Are you worthy?"
"I..." Yu Canglan was a little anxious. After all, he was not as good as Yu Wuyi. When he was only one step away from that position, he suddenly faced unexpected opposition. He immediately wanted to stand up and refute, or
It's to prove yourself.
And just as he started to speak, he was interrupted by Yan Yuxin.
"Let me ask you, will the first order you give when taking charge of Prince Wuwei's palace be to avenge him?"
"This... I am also very sad about the death of my adoptive father, but now the strength of the Wuwei Palace is really not suitable for a full-scale war. According to the information investigated, the reason why my adoptive father died was because he mistakenly entered the Xuan Emperor
The joint layout with the King of Zhennan.
And if these two enemies want to take revenge, it will not be easy.
Geographically, we are beyond reach of the Wangyou Ghost City. If we concentrate our efforts on dealing with the Daxuan Dynasty first, we will probably lose more than we win.
After all, there is a ghost city in Daxuan to share the pressure from both sides. We only need to send a small number of troops to the three southern states to facilitate early warning. In addition, the northwest state capital has begun to fall completely. This also means that once we attack in an all-out manner, we will be unable to do anything.
Do not engage in a head-to-head confrontation with the other party.
And without the geographical advantage and the impact on morale caused by the death of the adoptive father, this choice is irresponsible for everyone in the Wuwei Palace!"
Yu Canglan felt that his analysis was in line with the current situation and reflected his cautious and rational side. When he saw Yue Taiyuan and Huang Shang nodding, he felt that the position was already beckoning to him.
But a sneer interrupted his thoughts.
"No matter how fanciful the adopted son is who doesn't want to avenge his adopted father, I will not trust him and hand over the entire Wuwei Palace to him!"
Bang bang bang bang——!
Yu Yuanba started to applaud excitedly. He was the one who most wanted to send troops to kill the ghost city right now, so he was very disappointed that the eldest brother he respected in the past made this choice, but now he is justified.
After all, the strongest person on the field has the same ideas as him!
And Yu Canglan said helplessly: "Of course I want to ask my adoptive father for revenge, but the fact is..."
"Putting aside the facts, what I see is that after an adopted son took charge of Prince Wuwei's palace, he found various reasons not to avenge his adopted father. Then he might have had ulterior motives when he joined the palace from the beginning!"
Yu Canglan fell silent.
Putting aside the facts, this is really extremely lethal.
Don't talk about the facts. What do you want to talk about? If you talk about him taking Wuwei Prince's palace to his death directly, can you prove his love for his adoptive father?
Yu Haitang, who had almost no presence during the whole process, raised her eyebrows slightly.
She really didn't expect that some of the seemingly unreasonable and disturbing remarks she learned from Qin Fan would have a killing effect on Yan Yuxin. Just like now, she originally showed little sense and overall view of Yu Canglan.
Yue Taigong, who showed his approval, already frowned.
Jellyfish Yinji wanted to make amends for Yu Canglan, but she opened her mouth and didn't know how to explain.
After all, the direction of the discussion here has changed from rationality to emotion. From the very beginning when Yu Yuanba proposed to avenge his adoptive father, Yu Canglan showed hesitation and hesitation, which showed that he had completely lost.
