If he hadn't run away with a guilty conscience, how could these things have happened?
In the final analysis, the psychological quality is still not strong enough.
Now, staying in Xingyang City has no meaning for Chen Muyu.
It's just that he hasn't decided where to go yet.
Moreover, the Fengchan Conference has not yet passed, the situation in Xingyang City is not yet stable, and things have not yet been settled, so it does not seem to be the best time to leave at this time.
Just wait, wait a few days and then talk.
Wait until after the Fengchan Conference to find a chance to say goodbye, so as not to make Li Xu and others suspicious.
…
——
The next day.
As soon as Chen Muyu arrived at the front yard, he heard Ye Batuo say that Xumi and the others had returned to Xingyang City.
Li Xu went to negotiate with them.
"Do you think they can reach an agreement, Mr. Ye?" Chen Muyu asked casually.
Ye Ba Tuo shook his head, "I can't say for sure, but whether we can agree on it or not, he is a magical bird. He has to borrow it or not."
This is said arrogantly, but it is also true.
Chen Muyu thought it was quite reasonable.
Ye Batuo asked, "Where does this Yang Ming come from?"
Chen Muyu shrugged, "This person and I are both from the outside world, the four worlds outside of Central Continent. I must have heard about it, right?"
"Um."
Nobato nodded, "I have one thing, I really can't figure it out."
"Oh?" Chen Muyu looked at him in surprise.
Ye Ba Tuo said, "Since the Queen has promised that she will give him the best Dragon Yuan Fruit when things are done, why would he go behind our backs to get it by force? Moreover, if he takes the fruit, he will take it, so why should he destroy the tree?
?”
"this……"
Chen Muyu was paused upon hearing this. This Ye Ba Tuo still had a very bright mind.
"I'm afraid I can only ask Yang Ming personally after I find him about this matter."
Chen Muyu shook his head and did not answer his question. There was no way he could tell Ye Ba Tuo that there was something hidden in the Longyuan Fruit Tree, right?
"Um."
Ye Batuo did not continue to delve into this issue, but simply said, "You are also from outside the territory. Fellow Daoist Yang, you are much more honest than this Yang Ming."
I don't know if there is any deep meaning in his words, or if he is testing him.
Anyway, Chen Muyu took his words as good words, "Fellow Taoist, you are too complimentary. As the saying goes, the same food can feed all kinds of people. In this life, Yang only wants to be upright and worthy of his heart."
When he said this, he felt disgusted.
Does being aboveboard count?
Is it worthy of my heart? That’s true.
Ye Batuo took a deep look at Chen Muyu and finally nodded seriously, but he didn't know if he believed Chen Muyu's lies.
…
While the two were chatting, earth-shaking changes took place in the court hall of the Dapeng Empire.
Today, in Fengyang Hall, Emperor Peng Kun did not attend the morning court.
The person who presided over the court meeting was the second prince Peng Kuan.
Carrying the emperor's handwriting, he walked into Fengyang Hall with confident steps, like a proud peacock.
In front of all the civil and military officials, the emperor's decree was read out.
The emperor abdicated and entered the Holy Land to practice cultivation. The second prince, Peng Kuan, inherited the throne and succeeded to the throne.
At that moment, the entire court exploded.
Before this, the court was roughly divided into two factions, one was the orthodox direct lineage that supported Peng Kuan, and the other was the orthodox faction that supported the third prince Peng Ling and upheld the view of appointing people on their merits.
Later, the third prince was taken prisoner.
Seeing that the third prince's faction had lost hope, many defected to Peng Kuan's command. However, with the sudden rise of the fifth prince Peng Chong and Concubine Yun's deliberate recruitment, a faction quickly formed that could compete with Peng Kuan's lineage.
of power.
Everyone wants to covet the power of Conglong. As long as the emperor does not announce his abdication or who will succeed him, then everyone will have a chance.
But now, the Holy Will has come out.
All the dust has settled.
Above the court, the officials who supported Peng Chong felt as if they were mourning for their heirs.
Of course, some people will inevitably raise objections.
Why did Emperor Zun suddenly abdicate? There was no discussion with the courtiers at all.
Even if he had to abdicate, why didn't the emperor show up in person? Instead, he just gave a handwritten message.
This is too hasty.
The one who reacted the most violently was Concubine Yun.
When Concubine Yun learned of this situation, she rushed directly into Fengyang Palace and questioned the authenticity of the handwriting in Peng Kuan's hand.
But, what's the use?
The few people behind her, the strong men of the Blood Blade organization, all died yesterday, so what confidence can she have?
Peng Kuan was panicked for a moment, but the arrival of the empress gave him reassurance.
The emergence of the empress directly suppressed Concubine Yun, banning her cultivation and banishing her to the cold palace.
Among the many courtiers, who dared to raise any objection?
As for why Emperor Zun didn't show up.
The reason given by the Empress was very simple. The Emperor had reached the bottleneck of the Eight Star Realm and was facing a breakthrough at any time. Therefore, he had no time to say goodbye to everyone and went into seclusion in the Holy Land last night.
Regarding this explanation, everyone can neither believe it nor disbelieve it.
Yesterday's battle in Xishan, beings with a little bit of cultivation, were more or less aware of it, but the specific situation could not be found out through many inquiries.
In fact, everyone has their own speculations in their minds.
However, it cannot be confirmed.
Whatever the emperor and empress say, that's what it is.
The court officials also know that starting from today, the court will undergo major changes, and they will be earth-shaking changes.
But they had no choice but to accept the general trend and accept their fate.
In order to intimidate, the emperor and empress used both kindness and power in the court, and dealt with some people on the spot.
Under her strong suppression, the court gradually stabilized.
The emperor's handwriting in Peng Kuan's hand has also become a legitimate existence.
After discussion on the spot, the date for Peng Kuan's accession to the throne was determined.
Just fifteen days later.
Peng Kuan ascended the throne and became the third emperor of the Dapeng Empire.
After that, he will replace his father and go to Jade Emperor Mountain to complete the Zen Ceremony.
The hearts of the eight princes need to be united, and the hearts of the people of the world must also be united. The matter of enshrining Zen is imperative.
As for the high-grade Dragon Yuan Fruit that must be given to the eight princes at the Zen ceremony.
The emperor and empress still had some inventory in their hands.
Although he couldn't get the best Dragon Yuan Fruit, the emperor and empress had secretly accumulated some high-grade Dragon Yuan Fruit over the years.
Otherwise, where would the Dragon Yuan Fruit used by Li Xu to break through the Seven Star Realm come from?
The meeting lasted until the afternoon.
It wasn't until three moments later that the court was ready to disperse.
The moment they walked out of the palace, these court officials knew in their hearts that the world had changed. The Dapeng Dynasty, starting from today, had changed.
Whether it was the fifth prince's lineage or the third prince's lineage, this time, they were completely defeated.
In the face of absolute strength, the alliance formed by these imperial officials is a complete joke.
