Chapter 823 Yang has never been a murderous person...
Longyuan Prince’s Mansion became lively.
Before dawn, many maids and servants were already busy, and wisps of cooking smoke along with the aroma of wine and meat filled the entire palace.
This is the first time the palace has entertained guests since the big snowstorm, and several stewards are busy, fearing that anything will go wrong.
"Second Master, all the elders have arrived at the front hall. Are you going to inform the old woman and the Northwest King?"
A steward hurried outside a small courtyard.
"You just go and invite the Northwest King to a banquet."
The door opened, Zhang Wen'an turned around expressionlessly and walked towards the backyard, leaning on a bamboo stick.
Tuk-tuk-tuk~
In the quiet courtyard, the deep sound of wooden fish could be heard.
"Sister-in-law, all the elders have arrived."
Walking into the small courtyard, Zhang Wen'an couldn't help but sigh.
This small courtyard was the residence of the eldest brother during his lifetime. Now, his spiritual tablet is enshrined. It is also a place of retreat where his sister-in-law has stayed for many years.
"You shouldn't have called them here, they are a bunch of bastards who fail to achieve anything but fail!"
Before the enthronement, the old princess sat quietly with her eyes closed, tapping the wooden fish. After a long while, she slowly stood up, took the incense and put it on.
"After all, this is an inheritance passed down from generation to generation. Their surname is also Zhang. How could they not know it?"
Zhang Wen'an's expression darkened slightly:
"If we don't talk about them, it would be you and me, wouldn't we feel unwilling to do so?"
"If you are not willing to give in, what can you do?"
Looking at the soul in the smoke, the old princess sighed slightly, but her expression was very calm:
"Since ancient times, how many kings of the old dynasty have been able to die a good death? If you don't plan as early as possible, sooner or later, troops will come to the city."
"Is the world that Grandfather Taizu conquered really hopeless?"
Zhang Wen'an sighed.
He studied when he was young and loved reading history. He had a very detailed knowledge of the history of the past and present, not to mention countless treasures.
He naturally understood that his sister-in-law's choice was the right one, but in the end he was unwilling to do so.
"Since ancient times, no one has achieved greater justice for the country than I, the Zhang family. My great ancestor swept the world as a beggar and benefited the people. He should not have such an end."
The old princess did not answer, but turned to look at the outer courtyard. She shouted angrily, from far to near, echoing inside and outside the small courtyard:
"I, the Zhang family of Longyuan, are descendants of Taizu. Even if I die in battle, I cannot bow to the thieves!
Yu Changying, get out of here!"
Outside the small courtyard, there was a noise. A group of old men in luxurious clothes came together and clashed with the Long Yuan Guards who were guarding the outside. The situation was tense.
Zhang Wen'an's head tightened. Seeing his sister-in-law's expressionless face, she suddenly panicked:
"Sister-in-law, let me go!"
"If you go, will it be useful?"
Glancing at him coldly, the old princess pushed the door open and walked out. As he appeared, the noise inside and outside the courtyard suddenly subsided.
The cold and murderous aura seemed to be more cruel than the cold winter, making everyone shiver.
The old princess glanced coldly at the menacing elders, and her eyes fell on the old man in black at the front:
"Well, I'm out, what next? Zhang Pingxiang, what do you want?"
Having been in charge of Long Yuan for decades, her reputation in the palace was unparalleled. Even the aggressive elders were intimidated by her glance.
Only the old man in black at the front could not help but bang his bamboo stick:
"Yu Changying! It's not what I want to do, but what you want to do! We heard that you want to descend to the northwest, is there such a thing?!"
"nonsense!"
Zhang Wen'an's face darkened and he refuted loudly: "This banquet is just to establish an alliance with the Northwest King. How can you talk about surrender, you old guy?"
Zhang Wen'an was furious and wanted to say something, but the old princess raised her hand to stop him.
"Even if I want to lead Long Yuan to conquer the northwest, what will you do?"
After saying this, her expression remained calm, but everyone inside and outside the courtyard felt chills in their hearts.
Being able to control Longyuan for decades as a female prostitute, Yu Changying's hands were full of blood in those days. It's not like she has never killed an elder of the Zhang family!
"You have to move
hand?"
Zhang Pingxiang's face trembled and his voice became high-pitched:
"Even if you kill me here, I will still say this! There are only Zhang family members who died in the battle, and there are no descendants of Taizu who are thieves!"
"That's right! I'd rather die than surrender to the thief!"
"The Taizu will last forever, and the Ming Dynasty will last forever! I, a member of the Longyuan lineage, swear to the death to keep the integrity of the Taizu, and I will never be a thief!"
"How can we leave the inheritance of our ancestors in the hands of outsiders? Even if I die, I won't obey! Even if I die, I won't obey!"
One person shouted, and a group of elders followed suit. The roar was like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, echoing in half of the palace.
"Shut up! Shut up!"
Zhang Wen'an saw sweat on his forehead and stopped him angrily, but how could he suppress the excitement of the crowd?
The old princess stood indifferently, without saying a word, and only stared at the elders coldly. After a long time, the voices of the elders became hoarse, and then she spoke:
"We, Long Yuan Dao, are located on the border. There are three passes to guard outside. There are seven kings to kill outside the fortress, and Da Li is watching with eager eyes.
It borders the northwest and Ding'an Road"
She was not hoarse, but her calm voice was like a cold current, suppressing all the noise:
"Even if we don't mention the two countries beyond the Great Wall, we don't mention the Seven Kills King's City, we don't even talk about the Northwest Road.
Just Li Chuang of Ding'an Dao is the rebel king raised by the Liansheng Religion, with more than 700,000 troops, and countless masters under his command, what can you do?"
All the noise inside and outside the small courtyard disappeared. The elders of the clan couldn't help but fall silent at this moment, no matter how angry they were in their hearts.
"Even so, do you want to send Yang Yu to prison? He is the biggest traitor in the world."
All the elders were at a loss for words, but Zhang Pingxiang was the only one who remained unmoved:
"Besides, that Yang prison was so cruel and cruel that the Zhang family in the northwest and all the big and small families in the territory were killed.
If we surrender him, what will happen to An Neng?"
"Otherwise, what can we do?"
The old princess interrupted him indifferently and said coldly:
"Seven Killers Outside the Great Wall, Li Yuan from Dali, Li Chuang from Ding'an, or Xue Dilong, which one is worthy of entrustment?"
"Why do we have to choose these rebellious people?"
Zhang Pingxiang was slightly speechless, but he immediately responded:
"The imperial court is still there! The Zhang family is still there! Back then, Taizu was able to pacify the world even though he was a beggar. In the future, the descendants of the Zhang family may not be so heroic!"
"."
As soon as these words came out, whether it was the old princess, Zhang Wen'an, or all the clan elders behind him, they all fell silent.
At this point in the troubled times, it is a foregone conclusion that the Zhang family will be in decline.
In fact, up to now, nearly half of the kings of the Ming Dynasty have lost their fiefdoms, and Zhang Xuan is not the only one who has been killed by the Manchu clan.
"That Yang prison"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Pingxiang decided in his heart and was about to strike while the iron was hot when he suddenly heard a dragon roar and an explosion!
Ang~
In the wind and snow, the roar of the dragon shook, and the powerful sound waves seemed to stir up the wind and snow into one piece.
Everyone couldn't help but look up and saw a dragon rising into the sky from a very far distance, setting off strong winds and roaring straight into the city.
Its speed is extremely fast, its momentum is fierce, and it is more than ten miles away. The terrifying dragon's power has spread to half of the city, and the expressions of all those who perceive it have changed drastically.
"The younger generation already knows the old lady's thoughts, so there is no need for a banquet! Yang has important things to attend to, so he won't stay any longer!"
A clear and long roar rose into the sky. The roar was so intense that it could be heard ten miles away. It also caused the wind to howl and the heavy snow to roll like a tidal wave.
A long roar seemed to cause the sky to shake.
The force was so strong that there was a dead silence inside and outside the palace. Zhang Pingxiang's expression changed with horror, and his mind went blank:
"This kid is so terrifying?!"
Phew~
As the sound waves reverberated, a red-gold stream of light rose from the ground, like a divine sword piercing the wind and snow, and landed on the dragon's head:
"Everyone, take care, Yang is going!"
A long roar and dragon chants converged, resounding through the sky, and the mighty momentum caused the expressions of all the elders in the palace to change.
Suddenly, the whole city was silent.
······
······
Huhu~
The cold wind is like a knife, rubbing against Zhen Gang, and sometimes sparks burst out.
Looking down at Longyuan City, which was gradually becoming invisible under the sea of clouds, Yang Yu, standing on the dragon's head, looked calm.
His five senses were no longer human. Even in the sky where the cold wind was howling, he could still hear the conversations of everyone in the palace if he wanted to.
But he was too lazy to listen, just as he was too lazy to go to the banquet.
There was a time when the Longyuan Palace was a behemoth that could not be compared to him.
But for him at this moment, if it weren't for the existence of Yu Fengxian, even if the entire palace surrendered, he would not take a second look.
"The world after ancient times is so wonderful!"
On the dragon's back, Jiang Xiazi's face was solemn. In front of him, Beihai Dragon Lord spoke hoarsely, as if he was really feeling the words:
"In this world, there are still weak people who dare to show their teeth to the strong? You are very different from the one in the mirage. If it were him, that city would be a river of blood at this moment."
"If we disagree, will blood flow into a river?"
Looking back, Yang Yu shook his head slightly:
"Yang has never been a murderous person."
Jiang Xiazi's face twitched.
Over the years, he has learned a lot about the northwest king. How could such a murderous hero not be a murderer?
Recalling the records of this man who had been cheating on the street in the intelligence, Jiang Xiazi couldn't help but shudder.
"The inner demon is you too!"
Beihai Longjun stared at him closely:
"Your way of observing the precepts is just different from ordinary people! The cruelty and violence of your inner demons are beyond my imagination.
The reason why you are unmoved is because you have not taken that city seriously at all, otherwise."
Having personally experienced the mirage realm, Beihai Dragon Lord's fear of the person in front of him has reached an unprecedented height.
So tense at all times.
"maybe."
Yang Prison did not refute.
In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is him who has his own memories of past lives and experiences in this life.
only
The two of them chatted about each other. Jiang Xiazi stood aside, bored, but he discovered something strange:
"My lord, are you going to go beyond the Great Wall?"
In the wind and snow, Yang Yu looked far and wide.
His eyesight was excellent, and he could see everything at a high altitude. Under his gaze, he could even vaguely see the huge mountain range that stretched from east to west and stretched for thousands of miles.
