"Ahu, there will be a good show in three days, hahaha... Leng Yan, are you interested?" Wu Qiujun looked at Duan Lengyan and asked with a smile.
"Of course! Besides, Yunxi is my good sister. If she is dueling with someone, how can I, the sister, not be there?"
"Great! With Brother Wu and Her Royal Highness the Princess in charge, I expect that even if Shankui suffers a loss at that time, he will not dare to regret it!" Tan Hu couldn't help but laugh too. After seeing Tan Yunxi's demonic improvement, his confidence also increased. skyrocketed. He had been on tenterhooks about the showdown between Tan Yunxi and Hou Shaopeng before, but now, he was looking forward to it.
"Your Highness Princess!" Several people were chatting happily when a guard came quickly.
"What's the matter?" Duan Lengyan asked in a deep voice.
"Your Highness the Princess, the Second Prince is leading Gong Wuhui, the head of the Gong family, and Le Hanxiong, the head of the Le family, has arrived at the princess's residence and said he wants to meet Her Highness the Princess!"
"Second brother? Why did he see me?" Duan Lengyan's eyebrows were slightly raised.
Wu Qiujun suddenly laughed loudly and said, "What else can we do? I think they are probably here to talk about forming an alliance with us!"
"No way? My second brother has never been very fond of me. Will he form an alliance with me?"
"This moment is not the other moment! Have you forgotten what that girl Yun Xi said?" Wu Qiujun blinked and said with a smile.
Duan Lengyan's eyebrows suddenly raised, she chuckled, and said, "So, this is that guy's credit again?"
Wu Qiujun nodded heavily, with a very happy look on his face. Since he learned that Wandong had arrived at Zhanhuang City, the originally difficult situation seemed to suddenly become brighter, and relief came one after another. This made He felt it was a bit magical.
"Uncle Tan, please come with us!" Duan Lengyan turned to look at Tan Hu with a smile.
Tan Hu opened his mouth and laughed and said, "Okay! I wish I could ask for it! Hahaha..."
While Duan Lengyan was having a secret conversation with the second prince Duan Yanfei late at night, Wan Dong quietly sneaked into the palace of the Tie Zhan Dynasty.
Duan Wenyuan, the always ambitious Emperor of the Iron War Dynasty, actually retreated to the second line and no longer paid attention to the government affairs. If there was nothing fishy in this, he would not believe it even if he killed Wandong. And if you want to solve this mystery, this trip to the palace is essential!
The imperial palace of the Iron War Dynasty was very majestic and vast, covering an area of tens of thousands of acres. Countless palaces and pavilions rise one after another, which is dazzling. Being in it is like being in a deep mountain and dense forest, and it is easy for ordinary people to get lost in it. Even Wandong found it difficult to find the palace where Duan Wenyuan slept, and frowned slightly.
Just when Wandong was worried about where to go, a low call suddenly rang out from a corner about ten feet away from him: "The eldest prince... His highness the eldest prince, where are you?"
As soon as Wandong heard this shout, his mind immediately moved, and his figure floated over without leaving a trace, as light as a cloud.
I saw a young man dressed as a guard, scanning the surroundings vigilantly and calling softly from time to time. About a moment later, a figure covered in a black cloak quietly walked out of a corner. Upon seeing this figure, the guard's eyes immediately flashed with joy, and he hurried forward to meet him.
"Wu Liang meets His Highness the First Prince!"
"The eldest prince?" Wan Dong raised his eyebrows and his eyes immediately fell on the black cloak.
Under the cloak, a handsome and calm face is faintly revealed. He is about thirty years old. There is a natural nobility between his eyebrows. At a glance, people know that his identity is not simple. And from Wu Liang's name for him, it was unmistakably pointed out that this person was Duan Yanlong, the eldest prince who almost drove Duan Lengyan into despair.
But in the palace late at night, Duan Yanlong was dressed like this, which made Wandong even more curious.
"Little Wuzi, I'm in trouble for you!" Duan Yanlong raised his head, and his eyes were so clear under the moonlight. This was completely different from the Duan Yanlong that Wan Dong had imagined. It's hard to imagine that a person with such clear eyes could be so cruel and ruthless, even refusing to let go of his own brothers and sisters.
"What did your Highness say? For the Emperor, for His Highness, it would not be a pity to die in a humble position!" Wu Liang said with excitement on his face, patting his chest.
Duan Yanlong patted his shoulder and said, "I remember what you said! If our Duan family can survive this difficulty, you will be my Duan Yanlong, the benefactor of my Duan family!"
"Your Highness is serious! Your Highness, the guards in front of the palace will change shifts in an hour. We don't have much time. You'd better go see the Emperor first."
As soon as Wu Liang said these words, Duan Yanlong's face suddenly showed a surge of incomparable sadness, his eyes were filled with tears, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Father...how is he doing now?"
Wu Liang shook his head and said with a bitter expression, "The emperor's situation is very bad. He was still somewhat conscious yesterday, but today he has fallen into a coma. I'm afraid this time..."
"No!... No way. My father has experienced so many storms and waves. He will never fall down so easily. Never!" The eldest prince suddenly clenched his fists and forced away the tears in his eyes. He took a step forward and jumped out.
"Duan Wenyuan's situation is already so critical?" Wan Dong was also surprised when he heard the conversation between Duan Yanlong and Wu Liang, and hurriedly followed.
With the eldest prince leading the way, Wandong no longer had to worry about finding Duan Wenyuan's whereabouts. When he arrived at Duan Wenyuan's residence, Wandong finally understood why he still couldn't find Duan Wenyuan despite opening his spiritual consciousness. Not only because the palace was too big and had too many buildings, but also because the place where Duan Wenyuan lived turned out to be a very inconspicuous side palace.
It sounds nice to say it is a side hall, but this is clearly a remote wing, and at first glance, it seems that the servants of the palace live here. The majestic emperor of a country was reduced to such a state. Even Wan Dong couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Highness, please go in quickly. I'm here to keep an eye on you!" Wuliang urged.
Duan Yanlong also knew that time was limited, so he told Wu Liang, "Be careful," and hurried into the room.
This room is not only simple, but it also looks dirty because no one has cleaned it for a long time. Duan Wenyuan, the famous emperor of the Iron War Dynasty, was lying in a pile of torn cotton wool with his eyes closed and his face pale. Duan Yanlong could only take one look at that desolate scene and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Father!" Duan Yanlong cried out in sorrow, then knelt on the ground with a bang, and then moved to Duan Wenyuan's bed with a pair of knees.
Holding Duan Wenyuan's hand tightly, Duan Yanlong seemed to lose control. Tears kept flowing, and in a moment, a large piece of cotton wool was soaked. Seeing that sad look, there was absolutely no affectation, which made Wandong, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but feel moved. In any case, this Yanlong could be considered a filial son.
"Father, please open your eyes and take a look at my child. At this time, anyone can fall, but you can't! The Jin family's wolf ambitions have been revealed. Not only do they want to usurp the throne, but they also want to usurp us. The Duan family is not afraid of death, but the kid doesn't want to watch his brother and sister being killed by them... Father, the kid is incompetent. He can't protect his brothers and sisters, let alone the great country of our Duan family... Baby…”
The more Duan Yanlong talked, the sadder he became, and the tears flowed more and more violently. In the end, his voice choked up several times, and he could no longer speak. He laid his head on Duan Wenyuan's chest and cried loudly.
After crying for a while, Duan Yanlong's mood calmed down a little. Raising his head, wiping his tears and tucking his father into bed, Duan Yanlong took a long breath and murmured, "Father, if you feel tired and don't want to wake up, then just sleep a little longer." ! Although your son doesn't have much ability, he is not a waste! Don't worry, even if I can't save our Duan family, I will at least save the lives of Yan Fei and Leng Yan. If the child has a chance in the future, he will come again. It’s up to you, no matter what, you must hold on!…”
"Let's go!"
As Duan Yanlong was talking, a sharp roar from Wuliang suddenly came from outside the door. Before Duan Yanlong and Wan Dong could react, a scream resounded through the night sky again.
Wan Dong was startled and quickly looked back, just in time to see Wu Liang covering his chest and slowly falling down. Blood spurted out from between his fingers like a fountain. At first glance, he had suffered a fatal murder. ! This made Wandong feel a pity and even more annoyed. If he hadn't been too focused on what Duan Yanlong said just now, he could have saved Wu Liang. Wan Dong has always admired loyal people like Wu Liang.
"Five bright!" Duan Yanlong exclaimed and rushed out of the room.
Duan Yanlong obviously heard Wu Liang's words of "go quickly" before he died, but he did not leave, but rushed out without hesitation, which shows that Duan Yanlong is also a very emotional person.
Seeing Wu Liang lying on the ground, lifeless, Duan Yanlong felt as if he was struck by lightning, his body trembled, his face turned pale, he quickly leaned over and hugged Wu Liang, and kept shouting his name.
"It's useless! He has been hit by my 'heart-breaking finger'. Even if you scream until your throat is broken, he will never come back to life!"
Accompanied by a gloomy and cold word, an old man wearing a white robe with white beard and hair slowly walked in. This old man looked like a fairy and very magnanimous, but the unconcealed violence in his eyebrows ruined everything, making Wan Dong frown.
"Yao Zun! You..." Duan Yanlong raised his head in excitement, and stared at him with eyes as cold as knives, with hatred on his face.
"First Prince, you are becoming more and more disobedient. If you continue like this, it will be very dangerous." Yaozun completely ignored Duan Yanlong's anger and said with a sinister smile.
"Danger? Huh! It's just one death, what's so scary?" Duan Yanlong seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, anger suddenly broke out on his face, and his eyes turned red. (To be continued)
