"No wonder Qixia Town has been doing so much recently."
"On the surface, the two rankings have caused so many things, but secretly, they want to overthrow the Dali royal family."
"What do they want to do? Is it possible that a group of warriors still want to be emperor?"
"What's wrong with a martial artist? In this world, only a martial artist has the ability to protect himself."
"That's true. Even the Western land gods can kill the imperial palace."
Everyone present was speculating wildly.
Although he didn't guess the background of Shuangsheng, he guessed Qixia Town's plot by accident.
Yang Hongchun watched the heated discussion quietly, his eyes flickering, wondering what he was thinking.
Yan Liang paid attention to his reaction and asked.
"Prime Minister, if it is really Qixia Town, what should we do?"
"Haha, whatever you can do, just do what they want."
Yang Hongchun said with a smile.
"Now we are all riding on the big tree of Cainiaofang. Although we still don't know who the real owner is behind it, haven't the three of us gotten rich along with it?"
"Besides, the younger generation in the family strongly believes in the King of Light. You and I have also been poisoned by each other. If we don't follow suit, can we vote for others?"
"In short, the current situation seems to have no harm to the three of us. Whether it is Qixia Town or Cainiaofang, it will be beneficial and harmless to follow the instructions."
"But be prepared for a rainy day. You must continue to search secretly for the elder who can undo the poison. Don't let the news leak out. Although it is good to have a big tree at your back, no matter how good it is, it is not as good as having your destiny in your own hands."
As he spoke, there was a hint of hatred in his eyes that he tried hard to hide.
It can be seen that Yang Hongchun is very worried about being poisoned and is very unconvinced.
It was just forced by the situation.
Yan Liang and others nodded silently, agreeing with Yang Xiang's view.
Indeed, there is no better way to deal with it now.
After some discussion, everyone said goodbye and left.
Yan Liang and Cun Quan went their separate ways after leaving Yang Mansion.
It's just that Cun Quanquan returned to his home, but Yan Liang secretly returned to Shuiyunjian.
At this time, Zhao Yan was still designing his own human-headed bird-body statue on a blank piece of paper.
From time to time, he sketched a few strokes on the paper, trying to draw the most satisfactory version of himself.
But no matter how you draw it, it always looks funny and weird.
"Sigh...even my handsome face can't control the body of a birdman..."
"Why don't we just draw an angel, and say it's the human body of the King of Light?"
"...It's feasible."
He picked up the drawing paper on the table and kneaded it, then threw a ball of paper into the corner of the room.
There are already more than a dozen large paper balls piled up here, all of which are waste products designed by Zhao Yan.
When he spread out another piece of drawing paper on the table, Shuangjiang came in with Yan Liang.
"Emissary, Master Yan has something important to ask for."
"Well…"
Zhao Yan nodded, his eyes always staring at the blank paper.
Holding the pen in one hand, he gently dipped the ink on the inkstone.
Yan Liang looked at this scene strangely and stood quietly to one side waiting.
I wondered in my mind, "Could it be that this special envoy likes to paint?"
The room was as silent as time had frozen...
Half a stick of incense passed by in the blink of an eye, and Zhao Yan suddenly felt inspiration as his pen moved.
He splashed ink with his pen and wrote rapidly on the white paper.
The image of a handsome angel appears on the page.
The facial features are 80%25 similar to Zhao Yan's, and the figure is also quite different.
The only difference is that the person on the paper has three more pairs of snow-white wings.
He held a long sword in his hand, and there was a halo behind his head.
"Come and see how this image goes?"
After painting a satisfactory work, Zhao Yan quickly called the two of them over to enjoy it.
Shuangjiang led Yan Liang to the side. She just glanced at it lightly, then nodded and said:
"Can."
As someone who knew Zhao Yan somewhat, she naturally had no big feelings about this painting.
After all, no matter how good the painting is, it can't capture 90%25 of the prince's handsomeness.
But Yan Liang was different. He patted the rainbow fart with great praise.
"This painting is so good. It made Yan feel respectful at just one glance. At the second glance, he even wanted to kneel down and worship..."
"Oh? I didn't expect that Master Yan has such an artistic talent, and he can see so many things from this painting."
"It's not that Yan understands this, it's just that the messenger is so good at painting!"
Yan Liang couldn't understand what "art bacteria" Zhao Yan was talking about, but he thought it had to do with painting.
He didn't care whether what he said was right or not, he just wanted to praise it.
Of course Zhao Yan could hear that he was flattering, but he didn't feel disgusted.
The more flattering the other party is, the more afraid they are.
People like Yan Liang can be used.
But his purpose is to be a traitor.
Although Shuang Jiang didn't explain anything in particular, he had already seen the other party's intention.
"Master Yan, has something unfinished? Why are you back?"
Zhao Yan asked, pretending not to understand.
Upon hearing this, the latter immediately made a flattering smile.
"Reply to the envoy, Mr. Yan is back to report the results of the discussion between Yang Hongchun and others."
"Discuss? What did they discuss?"
Zhao Yan paced around with interest.
Yan Liang answered while secretly observing Zhao Yan's expression, trying to see something from it.
"Back to your lord, Yang Hongchun just invited me to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a brief communication. Based on the matter of Tianlong Temple, I guess that your lord is a master from Qixia Town."
"The other thing is that they are looking for Master Bai Miao who can detoxify people and want to remove the poison from their bodies."
"Yan has already reported to Mr. Wang before..."
Yan Liang said, glancing at Zhao Yan's expression, but saw that the other person was just looking at him with a half-smile, and he quickly lowered his head.
"Master Yan, why are you so reserved? If you want to see it, feel free to see it."
Zhao Yan joked with a smile.
He could tell at a glance what Yan Liang was planning.
He just wanted to see from his expression whether Yang Hongchun's guess was correct or not.
"The messenger is joking..."
"It's not a joke, but doesn't Master Yan want to get rid of the poison on his body? Why should he report them?"
"Yan is loyal to the divine religion and to the King of Light, and his heart can be learned from the world!"
Yan Liang quickly made an oath, fearing that Zhao Yan would not believe him and all his previous efforts as a traitor would be in vain.
"Okay, people like Master Yan are the pillars of the divine religion."
"Master Wang, such talents must be reused."
Zhao Yan gave Shuangjiang a look with a smile, and the latter nodded calmly.
"My subordinate understands."
"Um."
Yan Liang listened to the conversation between the two, and he was confused and didn't know whether the words had a positive or negative meaning.
It always made him feel unsure, and he couldn't figure out whether this trip was the right one.
"Master Yan, keep it up, I'm very optimistic about you."
"Thank you to the envoy for cultivating..."
"Well, in the future, if they speculate that the force behind the divine religion is Qixia Town, you can just agree with them. It's okay to use this big flag."
"As for the poison..."
Zhao Yan said, looking at Shuangjiang, who understood and explained:
"The antidote for the poison in our religion is taken once every quarter. The ingredients in the antidote can delay the onset of the poison, but it will also change the nature of the poison. No one in the world can cure it."
"Hey, Master Yan, did you hear that?"
Of course Yan Liang heard it, and his face instantly turned blue.
Although he betrayed Yang Hongchun, he didn't want to undo the poison.
But now that I heard that no one can cure this poison, I feel like I have fallen into an ice cellar, and my heart is filled with despair.
But at least something else can be heard in the words.
For example, the Divine Sect should not be a force in Qixia Town, but Yang Hongchun and others misunderstood.
"Listen...I heard it."
"But there is no need to worry, Master Yan. When the sect unifies, I will solve the problem for you."
"Seriously? Thank you! Thank you, Lord Messenger!"
When are people most excited?
Yan Liang must have been extremely emotional at this moment.
After all, the heart that just died has come back to life again...
"Well, don't worry, as long as you do your job well, the Yan family will not suffer any loss."
Zhao Yan gave him another reassurance, and then dismissed:
"If nothing happens, please go back first."
"Yes, Yan... No, I'm resigning."
He used to call himself "Yan", but now he starts to think of himself as a subordinate.
It's a step closer in terms of relationship.
After Yan Liang left, Shuang Jiang resumed her female voice.
"Why is the prince so polite to a wallflower?"
"It's just a piece of cake, as long as it can be used. A good attitude is the most useless thing. It is not given to anyone."
“……”
"Besides, what I gave you was just a blank check. I don't know how to interpret the poison anyway, so I just said it casually."
"……All right."
After speaking, Zhao Yan slowly walked to the window and looked in the direction of the palace.
"Why is this Danfeng so slow to start?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge explosion suddenly came from the palace.
Then there were flames shooting into the sky and people shouting. It was obvious that something big had happened.
Zhao Yan chuckled.
"It's finally begun."
……
……
……
time flies.
Chancheng, which had just experienced a night of turmoil, once again ushered in new chaos.
The troops in the city rushed towards the palace, and the people were so frightened that they could not sleep at all.
Yan Liang on the carriage stood on one side of the street, looking through the small window in the direction of the firelight.
"It's really a troubled time. It's hard for an emperor to save his life these days."
He shook his head and sighed, feeling that Duan Zhengyan could not be as comfortable as the patriarch of a big family.
But then I thought about myself being poisoned, and this inexplicable feeling of superiority suddenly stopped.
"Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Yan Liang gave a low shout and the carriage continued to start.
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage arrived outside the Prime Minister's Mansion again, and Cun Quanquan's carriage had also arrived.
"Master Cun, do you know what happened in the palace?"
"How do I know, but according to this movement, I am afraid that the master who attacked Tianlong Temple last night has entered the palace again tonight. What kind of evil did Duan have done? He has provoked such a big enemy!"
"As long as it's not our fault, go in and ask Prime Minister Yang for instructions."
The two had a brief exchange and walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion without stopping.
Just a few steps after entering the gate, they saw Yang Hongchun standing in the front yard looking at the palace city, and quickly stepped forward to ask for instructions.
"Master Prime Minister."
"Master Prime Minister, what should we do?"
Yang Hongchun always looked calm and calm.
"Just watch patiently. The imperial city has changed, and outsiders like me can't enter, so there's no need to panic."
According to Dali's regulations, once the imperial city is closed, no one is allowed to enter without the emperor's will.
If they lead troops to help at this time, they will only be regarded as rebellion.
If you want to enter the palace, you must wait for the emperor Duan Zhengyan's handwriting.
So now there is no other option but to wait.
"I'm afraid this is the big thing that the envoy is talking about."
"No wonder we have to choose an agent... I'm afraid this so-called agent will be the emperor of Dali first!"
"What exactly does Qixia Town want to do?"
"In that case, why don't the Prime Minister take advantage of the situation and agree, and let the Prime Minister sit on the throne? We will give our full support!"
Yang Hongchun listened to the conversation between the two, his face still calm.
"Haha, so what about the emperor? It's not bad to be the head of the state."
According to the plan, he was going to push Duan Fei out.
If Duan Fei becomes the emperor, then he will naturally become the head of the country.
What's more, being the first emperor to ascend the throne is really a disservice to his reputation. This is not Yang Hongchun's style.
"Do you think the masters from Qixia Town can definitely kill Duan Zhengyan?"
When Yan Liang and the other two heard Yang Hongchun's question, their expressions changed involuntarily.
"What do you mean by these words, Prime Minister? How can Duan Zhengyan resist the attack of the gods from the western land?"
"Yes, Your Majesty is not a martial arts master, and there are no top masters in the land of gods in the palace. Isn't this result certain?"
There is nothing wrong with the two questions.
Anyone who knows this information will feel that Qixia Town has a winning chance.
After all, the fighting power of land gods is really terrifying, and they kill thousands of people at the last time.
Fighting one against a thousand is just a routine operation.
Although there are garrison guards in the palace, they only number five thousand, and they are scattered throughout the palace, making it difficult to form an encirclement force at once.
Even if the protection was temporarily strengthened due to what happened last night, it is absolutely unstoppable when faced with the Nishimei Land God.
Yang Hongchun smiled softly after listening to the two people's questions.
"No one, at most two."
"The two of them were seriously injured last night, so they will definitely be unable to take action. The other two have consumed a lot of internal energy after last night's fight, and I'm afraid they won't be able to exert their full strength tonight."
"So there is no need for top masters of the same level. We only need enough people to stand in front of His Majesty. There is a high probability that we can block tonight's attack."
Yan Liang and Cun Quanquan did not expect this.
The two of them are not proficient in martial arts. Although they have a certain understanding of combat power, they are not proficient in it.
It's just that although what Yang Hongchun said is reasonable, it cannot withstand scrutiny.
"Although what Yang Xiang said is correct, it shouldn't be difficult for such a master to sneak into the palace to attack and kill silently, right?"
"Yes, they just kill His Majesty and leave. Who can stop them?"
"Haha, if you don't believe it, just wait here for half an hour. By then, Your Majesty will definitely tell me to enter the palace."
“……”
“……”
The two looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
They didn't know where Yang Hongchun's confidence came from.
However, as the prime minister, the other party naturally knows more secrets than them.
really.
Just three quarters of an hour later, a eunuch came outside the Prime Minister's Mansion to deliver the order.
The emperor summoned Yang Hongchun to the palace for discussion.
