C176 There's More to It
Lu Mingyan was sweating profusely.
He didn't want to agree, because his Father had already promised County Prince and Zhang Chuyang in Jiuyuan County that he would fully support the war to solve the problem.
And now, if he agreed to it in front of Second Prince, he had to try his best to dissuade his Father.
Otherwise, how would he explain it to Second Prince in the future?
Could it be that he could just say that he had tried his best?
Obviously not.
However, if he did not agree, it would be a problem whether he could live past today.
Lu Mingyan raised his head to look at the cold and stern face of Zhan Tianming, then turned to look at Feng Lejiang and Dong Xuri who had already made a compromise. Finally, he looked at Second Prince and Xie Aoyu and gritted his teeth in his heart.
"I... I agree."
Lu Mingyan had no choice but to compromise.
When he looked at Zhan Tianming, he only saw an absolute cold killing intent.
He believed that as long as he shook his head, what awaited him would be a slash.
"Haha..." Xie Aoyu laughed, "Now, with the support of the three Duke, I believe that my proposal will surely be approved. Then, I will be waiting for the good news from the three of you."
Lu Mingyan, Feng Lejiang, and Dong Xuri bowed slightly and cupped their fists. Then, they turned around and left in a sorry state.
Zhan Tianming watched the three of them leave.
The corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
Although he couldn't kill these three bastards this time, it was totally worth it to get a chance to fight for the Linshang County's County Prince's Mansion without any bloodshed.
After all, this was Zongzheng Wanyou's home.
"I wonder how Wanyou is now?" Zhan Tianming thought to himself.
...
Within the mansion of Linshang County.
Xie Aoyu, Zhan Tianming, Wei Jiang, Yan Donghuo and Corpse Sovereign were sitting in the room, accompanied by the old butler, Luo Ang.
Next to them were some fragrant tea, but Zhan Tianming didn't want to drink any tea. He just glanced at Xie Aoyu.
"Second Prince, why did you call me here?"
Xie Aoyu smiled faintly. "Brother Zhan can't guess?"
"Guess?" Zhan Tianming smiled.
If Xie Aoyu wanted him to guess, then he really did have some ideas. So what if he guessed?
After that, Zhan Tianming said, "I guess, compared to Wu Ping's disturbance, it's just an excuse."
When he heard this, Xie Aoyu was slightly startled.
In the end, he nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, the disturbance is indeed only an excuse. Brother Zhan was indeed smart. This prince's little skill could not be hidden from Brother Zhan at all. However, can Brother Zhan guess anything else?"
"Anything else?" Zhan Tianming smiled.
It seemed that things were not as simple as he had imagined.
He estimated that the degree of complexity involved was completely different from the situation on the surface. It could even cause people to be taken aback.
A thought flashed through his mind. Zhan Tianming smiled and said, "We'll catch them all in one fell swoop."
He only said four words.
Xie Aoyu and Luo Ang's expressions changed slightly, and they looked at Zhan Tianming with a trace of surprise in their eyes.
Zhan Tianming thought to himself.
It seemed like his guess was correct.
"High!" Xie Aoyu raised his thumb and praised, "Brother Zhan is indeed brilliant, he hit the nail on the head."
After that, he looked at the old butler, Luo Ang.
"Cough cough."
Luo Ang coughed lightly.
In an instant, a wave of formation rippled out from the outside of the room. A strange energy instantly spread out and covered the entire room.
Zhan Tianming, Wei Jiang and the others couldn't help but narrow their eyes.
"Young Master Zhan, don't be nervous."
Luo Ang saw the alert look in Zhan Tianming's eyes and spoke.
"This is just a soundproof formation."
"By the way, may I know who these people are?"
Luo Ang looked at Wei Jiang, Yan Donghuo, and Corpse Sovereign.
Obviously, he could not trust Wei Jiang and the other two, so he had to ask them first.
Zhan Tianming's vigilance was slightly relieved. He looked at Wei Jiang, then pointed at Wei Jiang and introduced him. "This is the son of General Wei who guarded the border more than ten years ago, Wei Jiang."
"What? He is the son of General Wei?"
Luo Ang and Xie Aoyu were stunned.
Both of their eyes kept on looking at Wei Jiang, and Luo Ang couldn't help but nod his head.
"Similar, really similar."
Wei Jiang didn't look surprised. This was what he and Zhan Tianming had discussed a long time ago. First, he wanted to test the reaction of Xie Aoyu and the others. In any case... Zhan Tianming had promised that he would never put Wei Jiang in danger. Wei Jiang also believed in Zhan Tianming.
Furthermore, revealing his identity would also help in this operation.
Furthermore, with Corpse Sovereign's strength as a Five Star Ghost King, their safety was guaranteed.
After that, Wei Jiang looked at Luo Ang and said, "Housekeeper Luo, you even hugged me when my father and I visited the prince's mansion."
"Haha... That's right, that's right. I was fortunate enough to hug young master back then. " Luo Ang said with a smile.
At this time, Xie Aoyu also asked, "Wei Jiang, your father was unfortunately killed on the way back to the capital. This matter is really regrettable. My father is also heartbroken. Back then, he even sent someone to your hometown to comfort your family. But... Your Wei family moved away overnight. How are you doing now? "0
Wei Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly.
A trace of anger arose in his heart.
"Hmph! You people of the royal family should stop crying and pretending to be merciful here."
"Hmm?" Xie Aoyu frowned.
Why was he crying and pretending to be merciful?
It was a little strange.
At this moment, Zhan Tianming's heart moved, and he thought of a possibility. He then said, "Does Your Highness not know? That year, Wei Jiang's father and family were executed by your father. Brother Wei Jiang was able to live until now because he escaped to Purple Cloud Line Sky. To survive."
"What?" Xie Aoyu's expression changed.
How was this possible?
His father had ordered the execution of General Wei's entire family?
Seeing such an expression, Zhan Tianming suddenly understood.
Now, there were only two possibilities.
The first was that Xie Aoyu's performance was too realistic. It was enough to win an Oscar.
The second was that there was something else hidden behind the events of the past.
While Zhan Tianming was secretly guessing, Xie Aoyu's gaze had already swept across Wei Jiang. He said with a face full of sincerity, "Wei Jiang, my father doesn't know anything about this matter. Back then, I still remember very clearly that it was a letter personally sent by County Prince, Zhang Chuyang, from Jiuyuan County, to the Imperial Palace. He said that the guard general was harmed by a spy from the enemy country on the way back to the capital. "
"Zhang Chuyang?" Wei Jiang frowned.
How could this be?
Could it be that all of this was planned by Zhang Chuyang?
Wei Jiang's heart was slightly shaken.
"If you don't believe me, wait until the matter here is settled. ... You can come with me to the capital and ask my father in person." Xie Aoyu said sincerely. He believed that he remembered correctly, and that his father wouldn't do such a thing.
Wei Jiang stared at Xie Aoyu, looking at the other party's fearless expression.
Finally, he said, "Don't worry, I will definitely interrogate him in person."
Wei Jiang was interrogating him.
He did not ask.
Because in his heart, he no longer had any good feelings towards the royal family.
When Xie Aoyu heard this, although he was a little dissatisfied, he instantly understood and nodded his head in the end.
"Alright, I, Xie Aoyu, will use my life to guarantee your safety and leave safely."
