When Xu Shengzhi heard that Mr. Wang had not returned, he was a little unhappy and said, "Okay, then I will go into the house and wait."
"Please."
Just as Menzi was about to invite Xu Shengzhi into his home, he heard him shout happily: "Mr. Xu, my lord is back! This is my lord's sedan chair!"
Xu Shengzhi turned around and took a look, and sure enough he saw four bearers carrying a large blue woolen sedan approaching.
The disciple hurriedly stepped forward and reported, "Sir, there is Mr. Xu from the Bailian Sect who wants to visit you!"
"Stop the sedan!"
The sedan stopped, and the sedan curtain opened, revealing the face of a middle-aged man. He asked doubtfully: "Mr. Xu of the Bailian Sect?"
"Yes, that's the young man."
Menzi pointed at Xu Shengzhi.
Xu Shengzhi hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Wang, my father, Xu Chao, is the elder of Bailian Sect. My father specially asked this junior to come and visit you!"
"Elder Xu...chao? Oops! You are Elder Xu's son! I didn't expect you to grow so big in such a flash!"
Wang Songling was very excited and hurriedly got off the sedan chair and was very enthusiastic towards Xu Shengzhi.
Xu Shengzhi felt very comfortable when he saw Lord Wang being so enthusiastic towards him. It seemed that his father had a good relationship with Lord Wang.
"My dear nephew, please come home quickly."
Wang Songling quickly invited.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang."
Xu Shengzhi said respectfully.
"Hey, what do you call Mr. Wang? You call me Uncle Wang! Back then, I went to Beijing to take the exam. If your father hadn't saved me from the wolf's mouth, where would I be today? Dear nephew, please!" Wang Songling said.
"Okay, Uncle Wang..."
Xu Shengzhi did not expect that his father had saved Wang Songling back then.
No wonder Lord Wang is so polite to me, treating him completely as a junior in his family.
Afterwards, the minister invited Xu Shengzhi into his home, went to the living room, and sat down in order of priority.
After the servants served tea, Wang Songling looked at Xu Shengzhi and said with a smile: "I wonder, my dear nephew, what do you want from me?"
Xu Shengzhi immediately said: "Uncle Wang, I came to the capital to report something important to you."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Wang Songling asked.
"That's it. Uncle Wang, do you know that the Eighth Prince has joined our Hundred Refiners Sect and become a disciple of the Hundred Refiners Sect?" Xu Shengzhi asked.
"Eighth Prince?"
Mentioning the Eighth Prince, Wang Songling's face changed slightly and said: "Yes, I know this! Master Guo told me some time ago! How is he in the Bailian Sect now?"
The Lord Guo that Wang Songling was talking about was none other than the Eighth Prince's personal adviser: Guo Jia!
As the Eighth Prince's think tank, Guo Jia naturally strives to ensure that the Eighth Prince ascends to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan!
And if you want the Eighth Prince to come to power, you must have someone to support him!
The ministers of the imperial court were naturally important targets to be won over.
Guo Jia tried every means to win over the court ministers. Coincidentally, Wang Songling was one of the people whom Guo Jia wanted to win over.
And Wang Songling also joined the Eighth Prince's camp and supported the Eighth Prince in ascending to that position!
Therefore, when Wang Songling heard Xu Shengzhi mention the Eighth Prince, he became very interested.
Seeing Wang Songling's high interest, Xu Shengzhi's face turned gloomy and he sighed: "The Eighth Prince's talent in cultivation is astonishing, and he was accepted as a true disciple by the sect master..."
"This is a good thing! The leader of your sect is one of the top powerful men in this dynasty. It is a good thing that the eighth prince can be accepted by him as his true disciple!" Wang Songling was very happy and said repeatedly.
He was thinking in his mind: The leader of the Bailian Sect could accept the eighth prince as his disciple and teach him martial arts, which meant that the Bailian Sect had been persuaded by Guo Jia to support the eighth prince.
"Uncle Wang, who wouldn't say yes! The eighth prince was accepted as a disciple by the sect master. The sect master planned to train him, and my father and nephew also planned to follow the eighth prince to pursue a career..."
Before Xu Shengzhi finished speaking, Wang Songling immediately said: "You made the right choice! Let me tell you, there are already many ministers in the court who are on the side of the eighth prince! Moreover, even an important figure in the harem is also interested.
Support the Eighth Prince!"
"Hey, Uncle Wang, my father and I will definitely support the Eighth Prince! But, even if we want to support him now, we can't support him anymore!" Xu Shengzhi said with a pained look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Songling asked hurriedly.
"Eighth Prince, he he..."
"What happened to him?" Wang Songling asked anxiously.
"He...is dead!"
"What?"
Wang Songling suddenly stood up, his face became extremely ugly, and his body was trembling slightly.
You know, he has already bet his money on the Eighth Prince!
Just today, he was still in the court, arguing with other princes and forces, but he did not expect that the eighth prince would actually die!!!
"How is this possible?! The Eighth Prince is in good health and is a master of cultivation, how could he die so easily? Tell me quickly, what is going on?"
Wang Songling shouted.
Xu Shengzhi looked sad and said: "Uncle Wang, he was killed by a disciple of our sect named Yunfeng!"
"Yunfeng? Who is this? He is so brave, he dares to kill the eighth prince!!" Wang Songling roared.
"Uncle Wang, please listen to me..."
As he spoke, Xu Shengzhi added more fuel to the fire and told the story of Ye Fengyun killing the eighth prince.
Of course, in his words, Ye Fengyun has been described as a bold and heinous bastard.
After listening to Xu Shengzhi's story, Wang Songling turned pale, fell down on the chair, and said angrily: "This bastard, he killed the eighth prince. Didn't Guizong do nothing at all?"
"Uncle Wang, you don't know something. After he killed the Eighth Prince, my father wanted to kill that bastard himself. However, the Supreme Elder jumped out and tried to protect him! There was nothing my father could do!"
Xu Shengzhi tried every means to put a spotlight on his father and himself...
Wang Songling was sitting on a chair, her face pale and dull, and her body was trembling.
He had already bet on the Eighth Prince, and now that the Eighth Prince was in trouble, he suddenly felt that his future was bleak!
"This bastard really deserves death! Without further ado, Shengzhi, just let me go!" Wang Songling said.
"Where to go?" Xu Shengzhi asked in shock.
"Follow me to see your Majesty!"
"Meet the Emperor?"
"right!"
Xu Shengzhi's eyes lit up, he stood up immediately and said, "Okay!"
At noon, news came from the palace: the eighth prince passed away!
This news shocked both the government and the public!
It is true that some people are happy and some are worried.
The emperor was so furious that he immediately issued an edict: Send all the experts to capture the murderer, and they will see the murderer alive and his corpse after death!
At the same time, Si Tianjian wrote to the emperor——
Si Tianjian was investigating the secrets of the sky at night, and the Ziwei Emperor Star appeared in the Central Plains and invaded the Big Dipper Star!
The emperor read the book and was shocked again. He ordered the princes: Within one month, they must see the head of Ziwei Emperor Star! Otherwise, they will be severely punished!
Later, the five princes personally visited Si Tianjian and Jianzheng to inquire about the specific situation of Ziwei Emperor Star!
Jian Zheng said slowly: "Ziwei Emperor Star is the reincarnation of the Martial God, possessing the blood of the Martial God and the body of the Nine Yang God! If we cannot get rid of it within one month, the Great Wu Dynasty will be in danger."
