Zhong Langyu immediately found Qiu Xin, Shu Danwei and other confidants to discuss. At this time, Yu Hai was still recovering in the palace due to serious injuries. After discussion, several people agreed that as long as Murong Xiaotian promises not to cause trouble to the palace in the future, we will release Young Master Murong. However, Murong Villa must fulfill its promise. If our commander has any needs today, Murong Villa must obey unconditionally.
When Murong Yunxiao received Zhong Langyu's reply, he was half happy and half worried. What he was happy about was that his son was finally saved, but what he was worried about was that from now on, Murong Villa would have to listen to other people's orders. This was really hard for Murong Yunxiao, who had always been authoritarian. It was extremely unpleasant, not only unpleasant, but even humiliating.
"Thank you, Marshal. I, Murong Yunxiao, keep your word. If Marshal needs anything from now on, just let me know. If I, Murong Yunxiao, say no, I will not be a hero!" Although Murong Yunxiao was displeased, he was still grateful on the surface. He bowed deeply to Zhong Langyu.
Zhong Langyu was also very happy: "It is my lifelong honor to be friends with Senior Murong. I have already sent someone to release the young master. I just hope that he can remember the lesson this time. If such an unpleasant thing happens again next time, It will be difficult for me to handle this."
Murong Yun smiled and bowed to the ground: "I'm sure, I will definitely teach Quan'er a lesson so that he will never dare to offend the commander-in-chief."
At this time, the guards had brought Murong Xiaotian out of the dungeon. Although Murong Xiaotian was tied up, he still held his chest out and his belly up, as if he was not a prisoner but a guest here.
Zhong Langyu didn't argue with him and untied his rope with his own hands: "Young Master has been wronged. I will help you if you offend me. My wife is not very smart. Some things I did were a bit out of line, Master." Don’t take it personally.”
Seeing Zhong Langyu's apology, Murong Xiaotian also felt a little embarrassed: "I don't dare, I hope the commander will forgive me for the offense I caused last night!"
The misunderstanding was resolved, Murong Yunxiao took his handsome son back to Murong Villa. Not to mention how Murong Yunxiao would teach his son a lesson when he went back, and Hu Feiying, he was in the palace last night, and he saw all the fighting in the middle of the night. He didn't understand why a guard would make such a big fuss. Could it be that He Ning took the troops there? At dawn, Hu Feiying saw Murong Yunxiao and finally understood the matter. It turned out that it was the troops from Murong Villa who attacked the backyard of the palace. At Hu Feiying's suggestion, Murong Yunxiao paid a high price for his son's life. Isn't it a bit silly for Hu Feiying to do this? In fact, he had no choice. His beloved concubine asked others to attack others, and now they were in their hands. Originally, he should and had to come forward this time. However, due to the powerful relationship involved, Hu Feiying had to be cautious. He knew If Zhong Langyu knew the inside story, he would have committed a serious crime of treason. In the past, Hu Feiying would not have paid attention to this at all, but it was different now. His confidants were all estranged from each other and all went after Zhong Langyu, and his power was obviously declining. Originally, he wanted He Ning to kill Zhong Langyu and then win back the hearts of these generals. Unexpectedly, this kid He Ning seemed to have evaporated and disappeared. It was not until the afternoon that a servant came in to report that He Ning had died in a corner not far from the palace. Judging from the situation at the scene, it was likely that he committed suicide.
Hu Feiying was so angry that he cursed He Ning. This heartless thing, I treat him so well, but he didn't carry out my order and fought to the death. I was really pissed off: "Go! Find Mr. Zhu."
"Yes!" The servant left in a hurry.
Hu Feiying looked out the window blankly. The development trend of things was becoming more and more unfavorable to him. Zhong Langyu stood firm. The next step might be to force me to go to Beijing. If I enter Zhong Yehan's capital, let alone become prime minister, it's hard to say whether I can live through my old age. What should I do? Hu Feiying frowned and had no idea at all.
His son Hu Yanchen came over gently: "Father, don't worry. Although the assassination failed this time, we did not lose. We still have the strength. General Liu Xin and General Zhou Neng are my confidants. One assassination If it doesn’t work, we can do it a second time, but I don’t believe it, and it will fail every time!”
Hu Feiying shook his head gently: "It's difficult! You think it's so easy to assassinate Zhong Langyu. Murong Xiaotian has been captured by him, what can your subordinates do? Besides, how can you keep using assassination? , if Murong Villa had not taken action this time, that boy Zhong Langyu would definitely think that it was your father and me who did it. If so, what chance would we have of surviving!"
Hu Yanchen sighed: "Father, are we going to admit defeat?"
Hu Feiying gritted his teeth and said: "Of course not. I have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, how could I lose to a young boy so easily. However, we have to avoid his sharp edge during this period, and we will think of a solution after this period."
Hu Yanchen did not dare to say anything more. He had always been respectful to Hu Feiying. Hu Yanchen had admired his father since he was a child. Until now, he still obeys Hu Feiying's words and does not dare to disobey him at all.
Zhu Xun arrived soon. As Hu Feiying's most effective adviser and confidant, he was always on call and could also come up with brilliant ideas for his master. Therefore, Hu Feiying trusted him very much and regarded him as his right-hand man.
"Your Majesty, why are you so anxious to find a subordinate?" Zhu Xun humbly bowed his hands.
Hu Feiying waved his hand, indicating that he should not be too polite: "Sir, please sit down."
Zhu Xun sat on the chair obediently: "Your Majesty, is it because of Zhong Langyu's assassination?"
Hu Feiying nodded: "I can't hide anything from you sir! Zhong Langyu's assassination attempt made me very passive. I came to you to discuss our next step."
Zhu Xun stood up and stroked the beards: "Your Majesty, it's not that my subordinates are pessimistic. Your current situation is worrying! If your subordinates are right, in a few days, Zhong Langyu will definitely come to the door and urge the Prince to come to Beijing. This Prince If we really go to the capital, it will be a disaster!"
Hu Feiying frowned: "This is also what I am worried about, but I can't think of any reasons. Do you have any strategies to teach me?"
Zhu Xun smiled slightly: "There is no way, it just depends on whether the prince is willing to be aggrieved!"
