While Yue Yunlan was thinking wildly, a ray of light suddenly came from above the dark dungeon.
It was a group of guards wearing armor, with fierce expressions on their faces. They opened the cell door, and then very rudely pushed Yue Yunlan, her daughter, and the maid Qiao Qiao out of the cage, shouting: "Go quickly, the regent wants to see you!"
The regent is naturally Yan Jinghong.
After clearing out all hostile forces in the imperial capital, Yan Jinghong named himself the regent in the name of the fourth prince. At the same time, he successively named many relatives of the Yan family, giving them extremely popular positions. From then on, the Tianbai royal family had only one official name.
Except for the king, all the power is in the hands of the Yan family.
After a while, under the push of the guards, the three Yue Yunlan girls came to a relatively complete hall.
At this time, in the main hall, apart from Yan Jinghong, who was sitting high on the throne of the leader, Yue Zhonglian's two heirs, the eldest son Yue Chengjie and the third son Yue Tianqun, were also kneeling in the hall tremblingly.
In addition, there were several pavilion elders, such as Wen Tingguang and Liu Hongzhang, who were all pressed on the shoulders in the main hall.
On the other hand, Wen Tingguang was still stubborn and refused to kneel down, but he was kicked down hard by the guards behind him and pinned to the ground. His cultivation was sealed, so he was naturally unable to resist. His eyes were filled with unwillingness and he cursed loudly.
More than: "Yan Jinghong, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated! If you want to kill, then kill him. If someone from me blinks his eyes, you are the son of a bitch!"
"presumptuous!"
"Be bold!"
The guards on the left and right slapped him in the face hard, beating him until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he vomited blood.
"Mr. Wen, can't you stop scolding me at this time?" Liu Hongzhang on the side sighed softly and spoke to persuade him.
"Stop scolding him? He's going to die anyway, why don't you scold him a few words to relieve your anger!"
Wen Tingguang spat out a mouthful of blood, but he saw that Yan Jinghong didn't even look at him from the beginning to the end, and looked straight out of the hall.
Wen Tingguang looked back and saw Yue Yunlan and her daughter being escorted to the main hall, and he suddenly felt anxious.
What else does this devil want to do?
"Uncle Wen, eldest brother, third brother?"
Yue Yunlan saw a few people in the palace and rushed over quickly. He saw that they were covered in blood and in a miserable state. They had obviously suffered a lot of torture.
"Yan Jinghong!"
Yue Yunlan clenched her fists tightly, raised her eyes to look at Yan Jinghong, and said hatefully: "What do you want?"
At this moment, Yan Jinghong was filled with demonic energy, and he was dressed in a golden robe. From the appearance, he was not much different from before, but his eyes were soul-catching, exuding a creepy and weird look.
feeling.
Just looking at him can't help but create a kind of fear that comes from the depths of the soul.
This person is simply like a devil!
"Miss Yue, how could I bear to do anything to you?"
A smile appeared on Yan Jinghong's lips, "I heard that you and that Ling Feng have a good relationship?"
"It has nothing to do with you!"
Yue Yunlan bit her lips and didn't even look at Yan Jinghong.
"Oh, really?"
Yan Jinghong smiled faintly and looked past Yue Yunlan to the sect leader's wife Honglian.
"You brave slave, how dare you be so rude to Madam Yue? You won't even give Madam Yue a seat!"
A trace of anger surged on Yan Jinghong's face, and he was so frightened that the guards behind him trembled. Their attitudes changed and they all became friendly. They quickly moved a seat and asked Hong Lian to sit down.
Everyone's expressions changed, and they didn't know what Yan Jinghong had in mind.
Honglian gently clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "The little woman is a guilty person, how dare she sit down in front of the regent?"
"Mrs. Yue, what you said is wrong. Once upon a time, my Yan family and your Yue's family were family friends. My father even came to propose marriage to my aunt, hoping that our two families could get married. However, at that time, my Yue's family and I
The young lady is still young, but now, I think we can continue to talk about this matter?"
"Don't even think about it!"
Yue Yunlan stared at Yan Jinghong angrily, gritted her teeth and said, "Even if I die, I will never marry you!"
"Haha, Miss Yue, don't say anything too absolute!"
Yan Jinghong narrowed his eyes and stared at Honglian with a half-smile, "Mrs. Yue, I think you are a smart person. If our two families get married, then Sect Leader Yue will be my father-in-law. Naturally, he will no longer be anything.
Rebellious thieves can be exempted from all punishment. Moreover, the Cangqiong Sect is still the Protector of the Country, isn't it good?"
Honglian shook her head and said calmly: "Although this little woman has no virtue and incompetence, she still has a little sense of shame. If Zhong Lian knew that I was willing to sacrifice my daughter's lifelong happiness in order to protect myself, what face would I have?
Face him?"
"Huh, don't have such wishful thinking. My young lady will never marry someone like you!"
Qiaoqiao mustered up the courage and glared at Yan Jinghong. Although she and Yue Yunlan were called masters and servants, they were actually sisters. Naturally, she did not want to see Yue Yunlan fall into Yan Jinghong's clutches.
"It seems that Mrs. Yue is not a smart person."
Yan Jinghong shrugged, but did not continue to threaten. He looked at Yue Yunlan and smiled lightly: "Miss Yue, I think you are a filial daughter, right?"
"Lan'er, what else are you thinking about?"
Not far away, the third son of the Yue family, Yue Tianqun, who was kneeling in the hall, quickly said: "Now that Young Master Yan has been honored as the regent, he is not only powerful, but also holds a high position of power. Is there anything that is not worthy of you? Only marry him."
It’s a wise choice!”
"Third brother, you..."
Yue Yunlan clenched her pink fists, wondering how her third brother could be so devoid of integrity.
"Third Young Master, what are you talking about?" Wen Tingguang heard these words and immediately cursed: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"You old guy, shut up. It's your turn as a slave to speak about our in-law family's affairs?"
Yue Tianqun glared at Wen Tingguang and said coldly: "Lan'er, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about it for your father and the entire Cangqiong Sect! Do you know how many people will suffer if you don't marry?
Don't be willful, this is the only way you can save your father and save the Qiong Faction!"
"Well said, very well said!"
Yan Jinghong applauded repeatedly. Yue Tianqun thought that Yan Jinghong appreciated him very much, so he tried hard to persuade him: "Lan'er, imagine what your father has done to you. Now you only need a little sacrifice to succeed."
What else do you think about rescuing your father? Do you want to watch your father continue to suffer torture that is worse than life every day?"
"Why……"
The eldest son Yue Chengjie, who was kneeling next to Yue Tianqun, also clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Little sister, I know I don't have the face to ask you to do anything, but for my father's sake!"
"Yes, think about it! Not only for your father, but also for these people, right?"
Yan Jinghong laughed gloomily, and with a casual palm, he heard a "bang" sound. The head of Yue Tianqun exploded directly, blood spattered, and the rich smell of blood filled the entire hall.
