"The prince's words are serious, and the subordinates are frightened. The prince has given orders, and the subordinates will naturally obey them!"
Wu Xin pretended to be scared and nervous and responded quickly.
Wu Xin had anticipated the matter of borrowing people before he came and had been mentally prepared for it.
In addition, even if the imperial court did not order Wu Xin to participate in the "King Conferment Conference", Wu Xin could not really avoid the conference and stay far away and ignore it. He would still quietly participate and pay attention. After all, this is a meeting to see the world's heroes and talents.
Perfect timing.
Listening to the wishes of the patron king Yang Lin, he obviously did not want Wu Xin to participate in the conference, and he also took the initiative to explain to Wu Xin. It seemed to be considerate, but in fact he reminded and advised.
"Haha... Okay! Then we have settled on this?" Seeing Wu Xin's words, Yang Linlao asked with a big smile.
Wu Xin smiled and nodded. With his speed, there is no place in the world that he cannot go to. In Yangzhou City, you can come and go as you please. There is no need to openly disobey the imperial court!
"boom……"
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly knocked open, and a tall and muscular middle-aged man wearing a general's armor, with a beard as thick as a needle on his face, and a strong breath rushed into the house.
"Um?"
Yang Lin, Wu Xin and others all looked sideways, and Yang Lin's old face suddenly darkened.
Yang Lin, the patron king, has a special status and strictly disciplines himself and others, so the final rule is that he is discussing important matters with King Xie Wu, and he is so reckless and intrusive?!
However, anger and displeasure were on the one hand, but Yang Lin did not scold him, because the intruder was Yang Lang, one of the twelve horned dragons under his account.
"Yi...Lord! Something bad has happened!"
Yang Lang didn't pay attention to the crowd's reaction, and shouted anxiously and worriedly.
"Damn! Why are you so rude?"
Yang Lin scolded in a deep voice, but he also knew that if nothing serious had happened, Yang Lang would definitely not be so rude. The scolding was actually explaining Yang Lang's reckless behavior.
Yang Lang's face was full of anxiety. But he looked at Wu Xin and others and hesitated to speak.
Yang Lin hesitated for a moment, and then said frankly: "King Xie Wu is one of our own. If you have anything to say, you can speak out without any scruples!"
"My lord! General Youwei, Duke Xu Guogong (Yu Wenshu), wanted to transfer the imperial army from the Forbidden Palace. Many ministers failed to stop him, so he asked the old King Zhongxiao (Wu Jianzhang) to come forward. The result... the result..."
Yang Lang thought for a while and quickly reported the report, but at the end, he hesitated.
Yang Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was really annoyed and shouted: "I know this matter well, what is the result? What kind of decency is there for hesitating!"
Yang Guang wanted to secretly dispatch the Forbidden Army and Xiaoguo Holy Guard to encircle and suppress the Yangzhou rebels. Yang Lin naturally knew it, but many Sui officials who stayed in the Western Capital did not know, and it was normal to stop him. But he did not expect that it would alarm Zhongxiao, who had been hiding for many years.
king.
"As a result... the Queen Mother came forward, dispatched dozens of Lotus Shadow Guards and many Lotus Royal Guards, and took the old King Zhongxiao to the sky prison!" Yang Lang responded with a somewhat innocent face.
Yang Lin frowned and scolded: "This is unreasonable!"
Wu Xin and others also frowned. In any case, King Zhongxiao, who had been hiding for many years, stepped forward to stop it. It was also an act of loyalty to the Sui Dynasty, so being sent to the prison was a bit excessive. And judging from the situation, it seemed that a fierce battle had been fought, otherwise there would be no need.
So many Lotus Shadow Guards were dispatched.
After thinking about it, Yang Lin quickly comforted him and said, "Don't worry! Brother Jianzhang has a stubborn character. I guess Duke Xu and the Queen Mother have no choice but to do so. I will report to the emperor at the meeting and let Brother Jianzhang go!"
Today, Wu Jianzhang has been deprived of his title and demoted to a commoner, so Yang Lang calls him the old loyal and filial king, and Yang Lin calls him Jianzhang brother. They are sworn brothers and have an excellent relationship.
Yang Lin's plea also played a large part in why Wu Jianzhang did not die back then.
"But...but..."
Yang Lang's expression changed, and he said again. Looking at Yang Lin's eyes, he responded in one breath:
"The old King Zhongxiao is dead. The Wu family and the Manchus are all wiped out!"
"boom……"
Yang Lin stood up suddenly as if he had been electrocuted, with the force of a huge wave rolling into the sky, his face changed drastically and he blurted out:
"What?!"
"How is that possible?" Even Wu Xin, who remained silent, asked in disbelief.
Yang Lang quickly explained: "The old King Zhongxiao died in the heavenly prison. It is said that he died of poisoned wine given by the Queen Mother. The Wu family, no chickens or dogs were left behind. It seems... it seems that the Lotus Shadow Guards, Lotus Royal Guards and
The Imperial Guard takes action!"
After a pause, he quickly added: "When other forces noticed something strange in the Wu Mansion and rushed to the Wu Mansion, they saw blood all over the mansion, as well as the corpses of some of the Lotus Shadow Guards, Lotus Royal Guards and the Palace Forbidden Army.
Obviously there was no time to take him away, and some of the people who arrived were from my house!"
"boom……"
Yang Lin lost control of his aura, and the majestic momentum swept through the house like a storm, shattering many tables, chairs, and tea cups, and shattering all over the floor.
"King Zhongxiao is really dead? Have you seen the body? Are you sure?" Wu Xin asked, still in disbelief.
Today's Wu Xin is no longer the first time he arrived.
As far as Wu Xin knows, the Nine Heavenly Kings of the Sui Dynasty are basically alive, but most of them are either hidden in the world or missing, and there is no exact explanation of their death. Some are even said to have been sent by the imperial court to explore the road to heaven.
Now, King Zhongxiao of the Great Sui Dynasty died so easily. At this time, he died in such a trivial way. It is impossible to think about it!
Is it so easy for one of the Nine Heavenly Kings to die?!
Yang Lang hesitated for a moment and responded with a definite tone: "I saw the body. It is the old King Zhongxiao. He is definitely dead. He was indeed poisoned! This was personally confirmed by people in our house and transmitted at full speed."
"Well……"
Wu Xin was startled, a little regretful and disappointed, but not too sad. After all, Wu Xin and Wu Jianzhang had no contact, and there was no relationship.
"What a... big... courage... person!"
Yang Lin restrained his riotous aura, his old face turned pale and blue, and he spoke slowly as if he was gritting his teeth, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Yang Lang shrank his neck and added: "My lord! The Queen Mother's death wish is just a rumor. It is spread very fiercely and there is no definite statement yet. Lin Bo went to the palace to ask, but the Queen Mother denied it, but she did not explain it publicly!"
Thinking about it, it is impossible for the Queen Mother to publicly explain anything, which would be insulting to the country.
That is to say, he is a person from the patron palace. Others probably don't dare to ask, and they can't ask.
Yang Lin's face softened slightly, but he still responded with murderous intent: "I know! It shouldn't be her. Queen Mother Dugu is a bit strong, but she is quite shrewd and loyal. She would not be so stupid and bold. This matter is a bit strange..."
"Not good! The Wu brothers..."
Wu Xin didn't think too much, wishing that Queen Mother Dugu would be even more unlucky. Suddenly, a thought came to her mind and she blurted out.
Wu Jianzhang was imprisoned and poisoned, and the entire Wu family was exterminated. If the Wu brothers knew about it, could they remain indifferent?!
These are the two most powerful helpers of the imperial court in the King Conferment Conference!
Yang Lang's mouth twitched, and he handed over his hands to report: "Report to King Wu! The Wu brothers... are missing! The brothers said they didn't see anyone yesterday!"
"who……"
At this moment, a burst of exclamations and shouts suddenly came from outside the house, and a breath rushed straight to where Wu Xin and others were. (To be continued.)
