In the third prince's main hall, an old slave came over at this moment: "The troops sent to the Ji family have passed, but the Yun family..."
"The Yun family." Ye Qiong looked at the sky outside, and Yun Xianchen's pretty face appeared in his mind again. He sighed, "I heard that Yun Xianchen, the head of the Yun family, is pregnant, right?"
"Yes, and the Yun family has already withdrawn its connections in the court. Now it is focused on doing business and has long been indifferent to the affairs of the court." The old slave said.
Ye Qiong smiled bitterly and said: "Since there is no threat to our plan, we will leave the Yun family alone. Later, I will ask for an order from my father to banish the Yun family to the border. From now on, they will not be allowed to set foot in the capital. The crime That’s it... if you participate in the eldest prince’s attempted rebellion, you will be exempted from the death penalty, but you will not be spared from the living crime!”
"Yes!" How dare that slave neglect the master in front of him? The people in the world were alarmed by his words. Although the old slave didn't know why His Highness the Third Highness, who was always decisive and decisive, would let go of the Yun family, he still didn't dare to ask, but just obeyed obediently.
Ye Qiong put his hands behind his back. For him, the days of Zhenyuan Sect were the last pure land in his life. Thinking about the days in Zhenyuan Sect, he was just an ignorant big boy. How could he have the city he has today?
"Why should I let Yun Xianchen go?" Ye Qiong couldn't help laughing to himself.
He came to the bamboo forest and sighed angrily: "Maybe I still can't let go. Since I can't get her, then you should never want to get her again. Forever and ever, you should never see them again! Li Hugo!"
In the Ji family courtyard, Ji Wushuang's face was solemn, and he kept urging the people around him: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
"Master, we can't go any faster. We... We are almost exhausted. We have packed so many things overnight. We..." A maid said hard.
"Forget it, forget about the rest, let's leave now, right away!"
"But it's dark outside now..."
"Leave overnight!" Ji Wushuang said decisively.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, countless royal guards had surrounded the Ji family. At this time, General Hao Nanren rode a tall horse and shouted loudly: "Master Ji Wushuang, you have united with the eldest prince to plot rebellion. This general has been ordered to do so. , take you back for interrogation, and please ask Master Ji not to resist, the Holy One has an order, if you resist, you will be executed on the spot, first beheaded and then punished!"
Ji Wushuang, who was in the courtyard, knelt on the ground with a plop when he heard this. He laughed miserably: "Old ancestor, I am afraid that the revival of the Jinxiu Dynasty cannot be completed... My descendants, Ji Wushuang, are unworthy of our ancestors!"
Thinking about it, although Ji Wushuang's ancestor was a branch of the Jinxiu Dynasty, after three hundred years, he did not hesitate to associate with the eldest prince just for the next move, and then used the eldest prince to revive the glory of his Ji family and let Jinxiu The dynasty continues to appear under the sun.
Who would have thought that by his generation, this huge century-old plan, the efforts of the predecessors had been wasted!
At this time, Ji Wushuang was already in despair. With tears streaming down his face, he shook his head: "Sure enough, once the eldest brother falls, I, the younger brother... will not be able to escape death either!"
"Brother!" At this time, the Wolf Lord ran over quickly.
Ji Wushuang grabbed the Wolf Lord's hands and said word by word: "Brother Wolf Lord! I'm sorry, you have to die with me now..."
"I'm not afraid of death. We still have hope, and that's Master Hugo!" said the Wolf Lord.
"How do you say this?" Ji Wushuang asked hurriedly.
The Wolf Lord said slowly: "I know that I will die here today, but before that, I have asked my wife to go out to find Master Hugo. He will entrust everything that happens here to the Master."
"That's good... Hahaha... There is still hope, although hope no longer belongs to us." Ji Wushuang took out a long sword, "This is the heirloom of my Ji family, the Emperor's Sword... I didn't expect it to be given away now. Myself."
"Alas, the five ultimate swords from the five major families... Now..." The Wolf Lord looked bitter, and he smiled slightly at Ji Wushuang, "Brother, take the first step."
As he spoke, he pulled out the long knife, touched his neck, and fell to the ground.
"Third brother, third brother!!" Ji Wushuang burst into tears and raised the long sword high, stabbing into his heart.
On the morning of the third day, in the court hall, the third prince brought a prisoner to the palace hall. The emperor looked tired and said, "Third son, this person is..."
"Father, I caught a woman outside the city. This person is the wife of the rebel Wolf Lord in Jiangdu..." As he said that, the third prince pushed a woman with bruises all over her body to the ground.
The woman was a mess of flesh and blood, and had been tortured into a human shape. Her legs had been cut off at the base, and she had no hands, as if she were a human stick.
The emperor frowned slightly: "The prodigal's wife?"
"Exactly, the Wolf Lord's body was found in Ji's house. It turns out that there is a rebel leader hiding in Ji Wushuang's house. This person committed a heinous crime and injured countless officials of my court!" the third prince said with his fists in his hands.
The surrounding ministers have all heard of the Wolf Lord's team. This team specializes in assassinating court officials, so the ministers are talking about the "wolf". At this time, seeing the Wolf Lord subdue the law, they are already very happy, and they all praise the third prince. meaning.
The emperor nodded and said, "Third brother, what news have you got?"
"My son learned from the rebels that the Wolf Lord knew that he would not be able to escape, so he wanted to entrust the army outside the Great Wall to another person. It seems that this person is one of the Wolf Lord's old tribes. Please ask my father to immediately send troops to defeat the Wolf Head Tribe. Wipe them all out and give me, Haotian, a peaceful country!" The third prince brought up the confession, which was clearly recorded, but Li Huguo's name was not included.
Because Li Yuguo is a big meal for Ye Qiong, if he confesses Li Huguo's crimes at this time, I am afraid he will be executed immediately. But in Ye Qiong's view, he has already won a great victory. Li Yuguo won the Shenxu, but lost. The whole world.
The first step is to take revenge on his two adopted brothers, and the second step is to take revenge on Li Huguo’s family!
He wanted Li Yuguo's life to be worse than death, so naturally he would not reveal the evidence of Li Yuguo's crime, but would hide it secretly.
The Wolf Lord's wife left the capital with the information, but the Ye family had spies in all major families and knew the woman's escape route, so they sent people to catch her and tortured the Wolf Lord's wife in every possible way. After being tortured both mentally and physically, She finally got her to confess.
The emperor took a deep breath: "Third brother, you have made great contributions, no matter what... Some news has to be told sooner or later. Recently, your eldest brother and second brother have had accidents one after another, but your benevolence and righteousness have made me deeply gratified. I am here Announcing that starting from today... the third prince Nalan Jue will be the crown prince of Haotian Kingdom, and he will move into the East Palace immediately in the next few days and assume the title of crown prince!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the civil and military officials paid homage: "Your Majesty is wise, long live my emperor!"
Ye Qiong's heart burst with joy. He knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor: "My son... I will definitely fulfill my mission and make Haotian Kingdom better and better. Thank you, Father! Long live Father! Long live Father!"
bump!
Ye Qiong's head was pressed against the ground, and his sinister eyes had become unusually intense...
