Outside the palace gate, Wei Jun has not sat down since Xu Yin entered. He has been circling back and forth, mumbling something.
Yan Ji was dizzy and couldn't help but said: "Old Wei, what are you worried about? My young master is here!"
Wei Jun stopped and glared at him: "It's just because your young master is here that I'm worried!"
Who is this Second Young Master Yan? He hacked two to death and wounded one when they first met. On the way here, he kept talking about murderers and murderers. Do you expect him to hold the third lady back?
Yan Ji was actually still angry: "Don't you look down on my young master's skills? Let me tell you, my young master has defeated all three armies without a single opponent."
Wei Jun was stunned for a moment before he understood what Yan Ji was thinking.
He didn't mean that the second young master Yan would hold the third lady back, but that he could protect the third lady even if there was a fight.
——What and what! Now that he is trapped in the enemy camp, so what if he is brave enough to defeat the three armies? Can he kill all Wu Zijing's personal guards by himself? The master and servant are really the same and completely unreliable.
Seeing that it’s almost the second update, the party is not over yet.
A waiter came out in the middle, but I don't know where he went.
After a while, Princess Deokhye's carriage arrived, and the guards put her in.
Wei Jun and Yan Ji looked at each other and had a bad feeling in their hearts.
What is Lord Dehui doing here at this time? Could it be that there was an accident at the banquet? But if something happened to the third lady and the second young master Yan, why didn't anyone come to arrest them?
After struggling for a long time, there was finally movement from the palace gate.
A waiter came out to take a look and walked straight in front of them.
Wei Jun became nervous and stared at each other.
What are you here for? Arresting people? It doesn’t seem like it, you didn’t even lead any troops...
The waiter saluted and asked, "But the guards and Uncle Yan?"
The two of them answered yes.
With my master inside, even if something really happened, I would have no choice but to answer the question!
The waiter continued: "Miss Xu San has given instructions, please go in together." He paused and pointed to the carriage behind them, "Bring this one in too."
Both of them were stunned for a moment.
Even if we let them in, why do we need to bring the carriage with us? Does the catch-all also include their horses?
After thinking a lot in their minds, the two of them finally obeyed.
If something happened, they wouldn't be able to fly out of Yongcheng even if they had wings, so Wu Zijing really didn't need to be so polite to them. Maybe there was something else?
After entering the palace and walking all the way to the front of the palace, another guard came up to take over the carriage, with an inexplicable respect in his attitude...
Things were getting weirder and weirder. These guards had been very cruel to them before. When standing outside the palace gate, anyone who tried to get closer to inquire about information would be scolded by them.
Then, the palace door opened, and the envoys who came to attend the dinner came out one after another.
Their expressions were very strange, they seemed very happy, and they looked like they were sleepwalking. When they saw the two of them, someone actually gave them a salute when they passed by.
Wei Jun was shocked. Although his status in Nanyuan was not low, he came back to Yongcheng just as a follower! These envoys were all serious officials from various states. Why should they salute a follower like him?
When the messenger finished, the guard reminded: "Please, you two."
Wei Jun stepped up the steps in confusion and saw several waiters cleaning...bloodstains on the floor?
His heart tightened. Did he take action? Is the third lady in danger?
As soon as I entered the hall, Xu Yin's voice came to my ears: "Are you here? Come quickly!"
Wei Jun looked up blankly and saw her sitting on the main seat, talking to the leader of King Liang's bodyguard. Yan Ling crouched down, groping for someone.
Hey, no, that person has no head, it’s a corpse!
Wei Jun was startled and wanted to ask what happened. When he turned around, the leader of the guards just moved away, revealing two heads placed side by side on the case...
"Ah!" Wei Jun shouted.
"Wu Zijing!" Yan Ji shouted out the next words for him, "And Lord Dehui! They are dead!"
After Yan Ling searched Wu Zijing's body, he stood up and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you shouting so loudly? You guys scared me to death!"
The muscles on Wei Jun's face twisted, thinking, they were just scared to death, okay? They thought something happened in the palace, but they didn't expect that they had already chopped Wu Zijing.
So fast? Is Wu Zijing so easy to deal with?
Wei Jun's head was filled with questions.
Wu Zijing, who had frightened so many prefectures in the Chu region so much that he couldn't sleep, why did the third lady die when she came in for a banquet?
And what's going on with the leader of the guards? Why is he so respectful to the third lady? Could it be that he is actually a spy who ambush Wu Zijing?
Wei Jun was thinking wildly and could no longer control his thoughts, trying desperately to find a reasonable explanation for himself.
But I heard Du Ming ask for instructions: "Miss Third, what should I do with these two heads?"
Xu Yin flicked his fingers and said: "Pick it with lime and put it in a box."
Du Ming was stunned for a moment. He marinated the human head with lime, usually to preserve it for a long time to facilitate transportation. If the third lady did this, would she want to send it back to Nanyuan, or simply send it to Beijing?
Xu Yin didn't let him guess, and quickly revealed: "Tell someone to send him back to Liangdu."
"Send back to Liangdu?" Du Ming didn't understand her intention, so he simply asked, "May I ask Miss Third, what is the intention of this?"
Xu Yin asked him: "Wu Zijing is dead, and Great Liang has lost its new King of Liang. Do you think my father should take advantage of the situation and take over Great Liang?"
Du Ming shook his head: "King of Liang——" After a pause, he changed his words, "Too many people have died in Great Liang in the past few years, and those who are still alive are filled with sorrow and anger. If Governor Xu wants to take this opportunity to invade Great Liang, I'm afraid it will cause a backlash.
The effect was to attract them to fight to the death."
Xu Yin nodded: "That's it. Da Liang is in a remote location and doesn't produce much. It's not worth paying such a high price. Therefore, I sent their heads back as a token of appeasement."
Du Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Xu Yin was young and energetic. He had just killed Wu Zijing in a desperate attack and his self-confidence was inflated. He wanted to take someone's head to demonstrate in Liangdu. Fortunately, this was not the case.
But who should send it off? As mentioned earlier, Wu Zijing had three important people around him. Now he has killed one, conquered another, and the last one is left.
That person is the current commander-in-chief of Daliang. When Wu Zijing was away, he guarded Liangdu for him.
Xu Yin does not intend to invade Liangdu, but it is better to get rid of this person...
While thinking, there seemed to be a noise outside, and Du Ming took the initiative and said, "I'll go take a look."
He went out for a while and came back soon with a look of helplessness on his face: "Miss Third, this is Wen Changshi. You asked someone to send him for treatment, but he broke away, ran back and knelt in front of the temple, saying that he wanted to apologize to you."
Not long ago, Xu Yin was scolded by him when he went to the palace for a banquet. He knew what was good and apologized when he was wrong.
Xu Yin didn't care about this. Just when he was about to ask someone to take him away, he suddenly thought of something and smiled thoughtfully: "Ah, why not just ask him to go!"
