As soon as he finished speaking, the first-rate warriors surrounding Zhu Youde burst out laughing: "He is just a first-rate warrior, how can he be confident that he can fight against the three of us brothers!"
Hu Jiangwei laughed along with him, showing a mocking look, and looked at Zhu Youde like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"Stupid Emperor Liang, suffer death!"
The warriors from the Western Regions moved and stabbed Li Renjie with their swords, but he did not move. He just looked at the warriors rushing towards him quietly, without even moving his sword.
Just when the sword was about to touch Li Renjie, Wang Zhonghou, who looked like an old eunuch behind him, suddenly burst out with an extremely powerful and majestic force.
With a bang, the sword was blown away.
"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"
Dozens of swords fell to the ground, and all the warriors from the Western Regions shook their arms with ferocious expressions, and their eyes flashed with unbelievable fear.
Hu Jiangwei's face changed drastically, and his smile became extremely ugly. He never expected that the person he was attacking was an old eunuch who seemed to have no fighting ability.
"You, you, you..." Fear shot straight into Tianling Gai, making him tremble even as he spoke.
Zhu Youde was happy. He glanced at Wang Zhonghou, whose strength was constantly rising, raised his eyebrows at Hu Jiangwei and asked, "I told you, one person is enough to deal with you!"
Wang Zhonghou moved, his body flying like lightning with strength, but in the blink of an eye, the Western Region warriors fell one after another.
A group of scribes from the Western Regions not far away were stunned. This was one of the strongest warrior teams in the Western Regions, and was destroyed by an old eunuch like this? It was still a crushing battle!
Incredible, beyond their understanding.
At this moment, there was only one thought in their minds: Is the Daliang warrior so terrifying? Even a eunuch is a super strong man!
"Your Majesty, should you kill or keep him?" Wang Zhonghou put away his strength and stood next to Zhu Youde, bending down and asking respectfully.
"Kill! Anyone who disrespects the imperial power of Daliang will be killed without mercy!" Zhu Youde shouted coldly, but looked at the middle-aged scribe.
The reason why he did not ask the warriors from the Western Regions where the King of Yan was hiding was because he was sure that the middle-aged scribe must know the location.
When Hu Jiangwei saw Wang Zhonghou pressing forward step by step, his legs became weak and he collapsed on the ground, trembling all over.
"You can't kill me. The Emperor of the Western Regions is my uncle, and I am a relative of the emperor... You are provoking a war..." Before he could speak, his voice fell silent, and a force flew out of thin air and pinched his throat.
The warriors from the Western Regions on the side widened their eyes in fear.
"Martial Master! You are a martial artist!"
Controlling energy is the most distinctive feature of a martial artist. These warriors saw Wang Zhonghou's cultivation level at a glance and were immediately frightened.
Just now I was still wondering why Wang Zhonghou was so strong, but he turned out to be a martial artist.
Horrible, simply terrible!
The Emperor of Liang was actually accompanied by a martial artist. This was such a terrifying phenomenon.
In the Western Region, there has never been a strong martial artist in the entire imperial court. Even top-notch martial artists can dominate the world and will not serve the royal family at all.
They didn't understand why Wang Zhonghou still had to be restrained when he was so powerful.
In incomprehensible confusion, all the warriors from the Western Regions died, leaving only the scribes who stood aside in a daze.
The middle-aged scribe finally understood why Zhu Youde dared to go to the appointment alone, and even said that one person was enough - he had enough strength.
A martial artist can control the rivers and lakes.
Why can't he defeat just a few dozen warriors?
Emperor Liang was not stupid, he was extremely shrewd.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me!" The middle-aged scribe fell to his knees with a plop and kowtowed several times: "We are willing to serve Daliang!"
The other scribes also followed suit.
Zhu Youde was amused and looked at the middle-aged scribe thoughtfully. This guy was extremely smart and knew how to treat people first.
Before he could say anything, the middle-aged scribe took out a map from his sleeve, which marked the detailed location where King Yan was hiding.
"Li Renjie, return to the palace immediately and inform Zhou Heng to lead the imperial army to the hiding place to search for King Yan and wipe out the remaining forces in the Western Region!"
"You are still alive, I will arrange for you to live in Jinling!"
The middle-aged scribe breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked him: "Long live my emperor..."
……………………
On the other side, Zhou Heng led the imperial army to gradually search for King Yan along the location marked on the map. Li Renjie led the Jin Yiwei to picket spies from the Western Regions inside and outside the city.
After a while, Zhu Youde received a secret message from Zhou Heng.
King Yan was found.
On the way to the suburbs, he accidentally remembered that Hu Jiangwei claimed to be a relative of the Emperor of the Western Regions, and then asked the middle-aged scribe who was following him: "What is his identity?"
The middle-aged scribe was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and replied: "We only know that he calls the Emperor of the Western Regions his uncle, and that he has a very high position in the court and great power, but we don't know his specific identity..."
Saying this, the scribe's eyes dodge.
Zhu Youde keenly noticed the strangeness: "What do you know?"
Seeing this, the scribe sighed and lowered his voice: "According to the villain, it is rumored that Hu Jiangwei is the emperor's illegitimate son..."
Zhu Youde was stunned when he heard this. He is an illegitimate son? The biological son of the emperor of the Western Regions?
He thought he was the descendant of some prince, but he didn't expect that he was an illegitimate son, but an illegitimate son is also his biological son!
"Your Majesty, this is just a rumor, not necessarily true." The middle-aged scribe said in awkward agreement.
Zhu Youde already had the answer in his mind - it was most likely true. The fact that a scribe could participate in the major action of kidnapping King Yan on behalf of the Western Regions meant that either his political status was high or he must know something.
"If I had known he was the emperor's biological son, I wouldn't have killed him. Maybe I could exchange for some resources. Even if I threw him as a hostage on the battlefield, I could exchange for two cities." Zhu Youde sighed and felt regretful. An illegitimate son is also a son. Two cities.
The city can still be exchanged for it.
The middle-aged scribe with a tangled expression on the side gritted his teeth and continued: "Your Majesty, it is better to block the news as soon as possible. The minister previously served in the Western Region Court and vaguely heard rumors of the deposed crown prince..."
Zhu Youde was shocked! Lenovo said that he had a very high status and great power, and his heart tightened.
Hu Jiangwei was a first-class warrior with strong military skills and an outstanding army commander. The original prince of the Western Regions was a rosy prince known to all countries.
Based on this analysis, the emperor of the Western Regions may have the idea of deposing the prince to support Hu Jiangwei. Maybe sending him to Daliang to kidnap King Yan will be the final test. Once King Yan is successfully transported back to the Western Regions, Daliang will lose face, and Hu Jiang has made a great contribution...
…
"So I have unintentionally ruined the future of the Western Regions! I wonder how the old emperor of the Western Regions reacted when he heard the news?"
"My lord, cut off Hu Jiangwei's head, put it in a brocade box, and send people to the Western Regions at high speed. P.S. This is my gift!"
"Your Majesty! You must not!" The middle-aged scribe hurriedly stopped him, his eyes full of confusion and fear.
Isn't this a deliberate attempt to anger the Emperor of the Western Regions? A few days ago, Hu Jiangwei sent a message that he would be victorious soon. Now that he is sending Xiang Shang's head, the King of the Western Regions will definitely be furious, and it is impossible to mobilize the whole country to attack Daliang!
Zhu Youde smiled and said nothing, he had his own plan.
As I was thinking about it, I saw Zhou Heng waiting in the distance. The hiding place of King Yan had arrived...
