"Xiao Mi... is dead?" The emperor sat behind the court case absent-mindedly, stating the news that made him feel complicated and unbelievable, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, and immediately sent people to search nearby. The Demon God's Grotto is a forbidden area of the Demon Cult. According to reports from the spies in the Demon Cult, there is indeed only one exit. It collapsed, and there is absolutely no chance of survival for the people in the grotto." Wang Song and Shen Sheng, the leaders of the Tsing Yi Guards who were kneeling on the ground, replied.
"Are you sure that the person who went in was Haifushi?" The emperor's expression was a bit complicated, and he didn't know whether he wanted Wang Songhe to affirm or deny it.
Wang Songhe hesitated for a moment, thought about it, nodded and said: "It is undoubtedly Haifushi. He stayed with the members of the Wulin League along the way and never left, and judging from his skill in fighting against the members of the Demon Cult, he was not someone else. fake."
The emperor seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and then he became furious again, and said angrily, "Yang Heng! This ruthless, cruel bastard! As long as he forces Haifushi to hand over the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, he will How dare, how dare he avenge his personal revenge and do such a thing that is inferior to a beast! Damn it! Damn it!"
When Wang Songhe heard him yelling at his son, he panicked and lay down on the ground, not daring to move.
Sure enough, Yang Heng was not in front of the emperor, the emperor quickly turned his anger on others, pointed to Wang Song and said: "I ordered you to wait nearby to monitor the every move of His Highness the Sixth Highness, that's how you monitor, watching him do such a thing that people and gods are all angry with." You don’t know how to stop and advise?!”
Wang Songhe felt bitter. Yang Heng wanted to kill Haifushi, but he didn't show any signs of it before. When something happened, it would be too late for them to stop him. His Highness the Sixth Highness and the Emperor are always father and son. Although Haifushi is also the Emperor's son, since he is dead, no matter how sad the Emperor is, he can't do anything to His Highness the Sixth Highness for him. This is also impossible.
But His Highness Six's move is truly terrifying!
Wang Songhe, as the current sixth head of Tsing Yiwei, naturally knew the relationship between Haifushi, Yang Heng and the emperor, and never thought that Yang Heng could do such a murderous thing to his elder brother for a woman.
The emperor vented his anger, fined Wang Songhe's one-year salary, made him commit crimes and meritorious deeds, and then sent him back.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked up at the roof of the hall. After a long while, he suddenly turned his head and said to the old eunuch Lei Gonggong who was waiting beside him: "Tell me, is Xiao Mi really... Xiao Liu, is he so cruel? "
Eunuch Lei has served the emperor by his side since he was just an ordinary little prince. There are no more than three people in the world who know more about the emperor's secret than him, including the emperor himself. Hearing his question, he immediately wrinkled his old face. The emperor's question was very difficult to answer, so he could only vaguely say: "Master Wang is very sure..."
If he said that Hai Pumice was really dead, then sit down and Yang Heng was cruel. If he said that Hai Pumice was not dead, the emperor might not be happy. He knew the emperor's temperament too well.
He has feelings for Haifushi's mother and son, and feels ashamed of hurting him, but he is also afraid that leaving Haifushi will pose a threat to his imperial power in the future. He scolded Yang Heng for being heartless, heartless, and doggy, and he might be relieved in his heart, because Yang Heng's action was not ordered by him.
What Yang Heng did was tantamount to self-destruction. Haifushi was dead, and it was impossible for the two brothers to join forces again. Only he alone could pull out limited waves. The emperor can feel more at ease with Yang Heng, and at the same time, if he makes such a big mistake, the emperor can deal with him at any time - a person who killed his brother, the emperor will not feel guilty no matter what he does to him.
Eunuch Lei secretly sighed at the emperor's fickleness and hypocrisy, but he didn't dare to show the slightest bit on his face.
Now the emperor hopes that what Wang Songhe said is true! Apart from being emotionally sad, this matter is of great benefit to the emperor. Now that the power is in hand, it is no longer difficult to train new and more obedient people to take charge of the Wulin League and the Devil's Cult. At least for now, the emperor thinks so of.
But what if Wang Songhe was also deceived
The emperor's expression slowly became serious. If so, did Yang Heng miss his hand carelessly, or did he join hands with Haifushi earlier in the morning to deliberately play a scene to relax his vigilance
Without saying a word, the emperor recalled the news that Wang Songhe had reported since Yang Heng went to find Bai Fuling before he left Beijing. , The guards rescued him in time. After Yang Heng was very depressed for a while, after returning to Beijing, he suddenly became active again, knowing that Haifushi had sent two heads to the emperor to demonstrate, and even offered to teach him a lesson for the emperor, everything was not unusual place.
The emperor thought about it carefully, Yang Heng secretly cooperated with Haifushi, and there was no benefit in taking a big risk to deceive him. Apart from getting Haifushi's help, there was nothing else. There is really no need to lose my favor or even cause my own precautions...
The emperor pondered for a while, Yang Heng's current strength was far from enough to overthrow him, no matter whether the sea pumice was dead or fake, at least it would not appear for a period of time, and this period of time was enough for him to destroy the original sea pumice. The shallow foundation is eradicated in one fell swoop. Even if he reappears in the future, the Demon Cult and the Martial Arts League will be completely different. His martial arts are so high, without the help of the emperor, could he turn things around by himself
The more the emperor thought about it, the more relieved he became, and finally let go of his worries, and began to feel sad for himself "losing his beloved son" and "sending a white-headed man to a black-headed man".
When Yang Heng returned to the capital, he was called into the palace by the emperor and severely reprimanded. Afterwards, all his titles were cut off, and he was ordered to be grounded by the prince under the charge of incompetence, arrogance, and lack of respect for his father. The government introspects.
Haifushi is only the emperor's illegitimate son, he can't punish Yang Heng for murdering his brother, so he can only find other excuses. But this time, the ruling and opposition parties clearly felt that His Highness the Sixth Prince had fallen out of favor.
What the emperor did in the past few months after defeating the Mao family and crippling the Xia family chilled the hearts of many ministers who were originally loyal to him. The emperor flattered and flattered, flattered and flattered, the emperor indulged in the joy of regaining power, whatever the people's sufferings, and the serious illnesses of the government were all thrown out of the sky, and he became more domineering and willful.
In the rivers and lakes, the leaders of the good and the evil factions died at the same time, and the Wulin League and the Demon Cult were in chaos. Several big leaders in the Demon Cult who had been coveting the position of leader for a long time were not suppressed by Haifushi and began to move around. Although the Martial Arts League is not as direct and straightforward as they are, many people who think they are expected to become the new leader have also begun to secretly prepare, contact relatives and friends, and actively participate in the competition for the position of leader.
Bai Fuling rejected the request of several elders of the Wulin League to offer a funeral for Haifushi, insisting that if Haifushi's body is not seen, he will not admit his death, let alone mourn him.
If other women did this, others would think that she was too sad to accept the truth, or that she was greedy for the throne of the leader's wife and refused to admit the news of her fiancé's death.
But it happened that this woman was Bai Fuling. Firstly, apart from being shocked, she didn’t show any sad and sad gaffes. Secondly, her status was already very high. There are even more, not to mention that Bai Fuling has a good brother-in-law and cousin, and she is also the county head personally appointed by the emperor. status motives.
But the martial arts leader does not mourn, and Bai Fuling lives in the Zhengqi courtyard and does not move. It would be very embarrassing for them to hold a martial arts conference to elect a martial arts leader.
The most important thing is that Hai Pumice does not know where he hid the token of the Martial Arts League in his hand, it is most likely in Zhengqi courtyard, but if they want them to rush into the residence of the leader's "widow" to search, they can't do it. Come out, the worst case is on the sea pumice, and that's really bad.
The elders of the Wulin League were so worried that their hair turned gray. They thought that the leader of the alliance had found a noble girl as his fiancée, which would benefit them as well. He has never had any contact with anyone in the martial arts, so it is difficult to find someone to talk to.
As a last resort, he finally thought of Yue Laosi. Didn't he claim that this young lady of the Bai family was his apprentice? Let him be a lobbyist, persuade Miss Bai to recognize the facts, let them handle Haifushi's funeral as soon as possible, so that she can leave the Wulin League and find another husband.
Elder Yue was invited, and beside him was Baizi Han, the sixth elder of Jiyun Hall. When they walked into the hall of Zhengqi Academy and saw Bai Fuling in a gorgeous summer dress with a calm and natural expression, they didn't know what to say when they were ready to talk.
The two sides sat down as guests and hosts, Yue Laosi poured several cups of tea, and at the same time winked at Han Baizi, signaling him to speak first, but Han Baizi just ignored him, looking at the sky and the ground for a while, but he didn't look at him anyway.
"Elder Yue came to me on purpose just to try my new tea?" Seeing that they didn't say a word for a long time, Bai Fuling broke the silence first. In fact, if they didn't say a word, she could guess their reason for coming.
Old Fourth Yue scratched his head and sighed: "I also find it difficult to accept the matter of the leader of Haimen, but you are still young, little girl, why are you so persistent?"
He was entrusted by several elders of the Wulin League, but he was only thinking of Bai Fuling. When people in the world encounter this kind of incident where their fiancé dies unexpectedly before they are married, most of them will automatically cancel the engagement. The woman gets married separately, and the people of the Jianghu are living a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife. They don't care about fame and festivals like ordinary people, and they don't like to keep husbands and wives. Bai Fuling was young and beautiful, with a prominent family background, and it was time to find another husband-in-law as soon as possible. It was not worth wasting youth like this for a dead man.
"He didn't die, how could someone like him die so easily?" Bai Fuling smiled lightly.
