Scholar Wan Yan paused for a moment, raised his head and glanced at Xiao Jiu'an. Seeing that Xiao Jiu'an still had a dead face, without any emotion, he had to grit his teeth and tell the biggest secret.
"Our young master, he and Emperor Tianqi are half-brothers, and they look very similar." Therefore, their young master can never show his true face to others. Even in the future, he can only pass by incognito, and he must not
Let Emperor Tianqi discover his existence.
This was considered a big secret. However, when Xiao Jiuan heard the secret, he was neither shocked nor deceived. His face was calm and there was no emotion at all. He just nodded lightly, as if he had expected it.
Xiao Jiu'an's reaction was beyond Wan Yan's expectations. Scholar Wan Yan couldn't understand. How could Xiao Jiu'an remain so calm after hearing such a big secret?
"My lord, aren't you surprised?" When anyone hears this question, their first reaction should be disbelief.
"Why should it be strange?" Xiao Jiu'an asked back, gagging the scholar's mouthful of proofs.
The scholar was speechless and said, "Do you believe me?"
Xiao Jiu'an did not answer his question directly, but thought for a moment and said: "I remember that when I was three years old, I got smallpox, and the late queen stayed with him in the Imperial Manor for half a year. Are your young masters any better than I am?
Three and a half years younger?"
Thinking about it, he should have been born at that time.
As expected, the leader of the Demon Cult is so ambitious that he has even prepared a successor. Even if he cannot come forward, even if he dies, with the appearance of the young master of the Demon Cult, he can return to the royal family and have a chance to sit on the throne.
"Yes, our young master is three and a half years younger than today." Scholar Wan Yan knew that he did not need to say anything to prove that what he said was true, but...
Why does he feel even more aggrieved?
Everyone knows that King Yanbei's mind is weird and difficult to discern, and he finally saw it today. King Yanbei acted unreasonably throughout the whole process, and he was very powerless against King Yanbei.
"In the thirty-eighth year of Yong'an, the Wan family in Taizhou was exterminated by the late emperor because of the Literary Prison. I think you are a descendant of the Wan family." Xiao Jiu'an not only deduced the age of the young master of the Demon Sect, but even deduced the origin of the scholar Wan Yan.
Scholar Wan Yan's face changed drastically, he staggered back, fell to the ground with a thud, raised his head, and looked at Xiao Jiu'an in disbelief: "You, you... how do you know?"
No one has known about these things for a long time. How did King Yanbei know?
"I guessed it." Xiao Jiuan said nonchalantly, "Looking at your reaction, I guessed it."
The Wan family in Taizhou has three imperial masters. No wonder the leader of the Demon Cult chose Wan Yan to be the young master's mentor.
Although the emperor's mental skills cannot be taught by an emperor's master, a young man who grew up in the world of martial arts can get the guidance of the Wan family, which is enough for him to gain a foothold in the martial arts world.
"It is said that the King of Yanbei knows things like a god and can strategize and win thousands of miles away. I didn't believe it at first, but today I understand that the rumors are still believable." However, in a moment, Scholar Wan Yan calmed down.
But what he was calm about at the moment was that Xiao Jiuan had seen through all his trump cards, and he couldn't calm down at all.
With these two trump cards, King Yanbei does not need to cooperate with their young master at all. He only needs to sell the young master and him to Emperor Tianqi. Emperor Tianqi will send troops to destroy the demon sect, and King Yanbei can completely reap the benefits.
profit.
Scholar Wan Yan looked defeated and had lost his previous fighting spirit. He knew that he had no chance of winning.
However, just when he gave up, Xiao Jiuan spoke: "I want to meet the young master."
"What does the prince mean?" Scholar Wan Yan's eyes lit up, implying hope.
Xiao Jiuan did not answer him, but directly decided the time and place: "Tomorrow and evening, I will see someone here at midnight." Everything will be said after he sees the person.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. My young master will definitely be here tomorrow evening." Scholar Wan Yan understood that Xiao Jiuan did not promise him anything, but it would be nice to have a hope.
He believed that based on the temperament of their young master, King Yanbei would definitely change his mind.
The young master of their family has never been an ambitious person, and even the resentment in his heart gradually dissipated because of the young master. This shows how calm and peaceful the young master of their family is.
Since he decided to meet with the young master of the Demon Cult, Xiao Jiuan would not embarrass the scholar Wan Yan, so he immediately let him go.
However, thinking of the scholar's character that he must retaliate for all his words, Xiao Jiuan deliberately said before he left: "The person who beat you is the senior brother of my princess."
In other words, scholar Wan Yan's beating was in vain. If he dared to take revenge and go back, Xiao Jiu'an would definitely not let him go.
"I understand." Scholar Wan Yan said through gritted teeth, feeling extremely aggrieved.
In all the years he has been in the world, this is the first time he has been beaten so badly. Even if he was beaten, he still can't retaliate, which makes him even more angry.
Scholar Wan Yan left Zhuangzi with a lot of anger and quietly returned to the Demon Sect. As for him making such a big noise, how to explain his actions to the people of the Demon Sect was not something Xiao Jiuan had to consider.
He believed that with scholar Wan Yan's scheming, it would not be difficult to deal with the demon sect. What was difficult was how to quietly bring out the young master?
However, this is not something he needs to consider. If the young master and scholar Wan Yan don't even have this ability, it is not worth his while.
He, Xiao Jiuan, has never been a kind person.
Xiao Jiuan never hid the matter of Blackstone Mountain from Ji Yunkai. During the meal, he treated the matter of the young master of the Demon Sect as a topic for the two of them to chat after dinner, and told Ji Yunkai.
After Ji Yunkai heard this, he was immediately shocked: "How did the late queen do it? And, she, how could she..."
If the scholar Wan Yan were here, he would be greatly pleased.
This is how normal humans should react when hearing such a big secret.
King Yanbei's calmness is really terrifying.
"With the Phoenix Guards here, nothing is impossible. As for her... I must have recognized the wrong person before, and there was nothing we could do about it later." Xiao Jiuan said slowly and politely, as if talking about romance, with a very normal tone.
.
"I didn't expect that when I came to Blackstone Mountain, I would dig out so many things. The Tianqi royal family is really in chaos." Ji Yunkai sighed with emotion. As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yunkai was startled and looked at Xiao Jiu'an blankly:
"Did you already know this?"
If he hadn't known it earlier, how could Xiao Jiu'an mobilize his troops and have to come to Blackstone Mountain in person?
Is it really to vent her anger? To avenge her?
Originally, she believed that at least half of the reason Xiao Jiuan came here was for her. Now...
But she no longer has this confidence.
My heart suddenly tightened, sour and stuffy, I couldn't tell what it felt like... (To be continued)
