33 Palace
Shuoyou led a hundred black iron cavalry to track the robbers away, while Wu Yue and others continued to set off for Mohe. When he was less than forty miles away from Mohe, he received a letter from Huan Han.
"...The situation in the royal capital is changing. The second prince has already invaded the royal city and gained the upper hand. The prince was captured, and his cronies were also cleared out. Retreat to the west gate of the king city to guard... lord, this is a good time to close the net, the Ximen forbidden army will openly announce to the lord, as long as the lord arrives, the dark chess of Han Han will officially start..."
Wu Yue tickled the corner of his mouth, took the letter into his arms, waved his hand, and ordered the army to speed up.
During the journey, he looked back at Murphy, who was not far away. At this time, he was riding with a little boy. The two of them didn't know what they were talking about. It should be Murphy who was talking, and the child was listening. . Since waking up again two days ago, the child has not spoken, and it is unknown whether it is because he was stimulated and reluctant to speak, or because he is born dumb.
Originally, Wu Yue wanted to send someone to send the child to the right side of the academy, but he was holding onto Murphy's clothes and wouldn't let go. That pitiful and frightened appearance made him feel unbearable to force him again. Besides, he was currently weak and not suitable for Running around and tiring, following the slow march of the team can be taken care of. So, he was left by Murphy's side like this.
Murphy doesn't know how to coax children, and because of his paralysis, he has never had a child since he was a child. But this child unexpectedly likes to stick to her, even though he can't speak, but when Murphy named him "Moshang", he just recognized it obediently without any resistance.
Wu Yue's men were on the march, not to mention for the time being, at this time, in the palace of King Soo, the second prince Li Xiao looked at the bound prince Li Chen with a smug look on his face, he teased, "Brother Wang, you Is it difficult to sit on the throne of the prince?"
Li Chen's face was tired and completely lost his former glory. He glared at Li Xiao fiercely, and said coldly, "I have nothing to say, if I want to kill you, I will kill you!"
"Haha." Li Xiao walked a few steps around Li Chen, and said close to his ear, "My good brother, you should know that the last time the king of You Kingdom sent to the former Yu Kingdom in addition to the three cities. Two princes and princesses, right?"
"So what?" Li Chen sneered, "You fish in troubled waters, do you have to take out these benefits over and over again?"
"No, no." Li Xiao said, "What I want to say is, do you know what happened to that prince and princess?"
"Oh, with your lewdness, what will happen to that princess?"
"Haha, you really know me." Li Xiao suddenly lowered his voice and said, "But brother Wang probably doesn't know, in fact, brother Wang, I prefer that prince, who is only fifteen years old, handsome and handsome, more than a woman. smell."
"You! Shameless! As a royal family, you have lost all your face!"
"You said it just now, if the king or the bandit is defeated, I am the king. Who dares to criticize me?"
Li Chen was speechless, took a few deep breaths, his face calmed down, and said lightly, "Why are you telling me this? Are you showing off your lewdness and shamelessness?"
Li Xiao showed an ambiguous smile, raised Li Chen's chin with his fingers, and said evilly: "If you can keep your crown prince, then all this has nothing to do with you, but now you have become my prisoner, Say, what will happen to you?"
Li Chen was stunned for a moment, and then showed a horrified expression. He trembled a little and said, "You... don't you think..."
"Brother Wang, Brother Wang has coveted you for a long time, how does Brother Wang feel?"
Li Chen shuddered all over, gritted his teeth and said, "You dare! You must know that there are tens of thousands of imperial troops outside the royal city. If you have time to humiliate me here, why not think about how to pacify them?"
"It's only tens of thousands of forbidden troops, and this king is not in his eyes yet."
"What about Wu Yue?"
Li Xiao's face sank, but he smiled again after a while: "Wu Yue's cavalry may be famous, but in this city, I don't believe his soldiers can fly over the eaves? Besides, don't I still have you?"
Li Chen's face was ashen, and he was speechless for a while. He really regretted why he didn't send someone to solve him early when he was soft-hearted, and ended up in such a mess.
Suddenly, Li Xiao stuck out his tongue and licked his ear, and said softly, "Brother Wang, you don't need to worry about these things."
Li Chen couldn't help struggling, and said angrily, "I'd rather die than be insulted by you."
"Oh?" Li Xiao straightened up, looked at his panic with interest, and said slowly, "If you dare to seek death, then I will immediately ask someone to execute your child."
Li Chen's body froze, and roared, "My child, what have you done to them?"
Li Xiao has cleaned up almost all the people who smothered him, will he still be merciful to his children?
"Don't worry." Li Xiao said, "I'm still imprisoned in your Prince's Mansion. If you serve me well, I might consider letting them go."
Li Chen's face was ashen, and various emotions such as shame, anger, conflict, struggle, hatred, etc. flashed in his eyes. Finally, he turned his head and said nothing.
"Haha!" Li Xiao suddenly picked up Li Chen and walked into the inner room...
"The last general Lan Su has met King Rong Zhen." A general dressed as a forbidden army knelt down on one knee facing Wu Yue.
"No ceremony, tell this king about the current situation." Wu Yue didn't say much, and went straight to the topic.
"The prince was imprisoned in the palace by the second prince, and his life and death are unknown. Most of the other ministers who did not obey the second prince were controlled, and their lives should be safe for the time being."
"What about His Majesty King Soo?"
"Your Majesty is weak, and he wakes up every now and then, so he probably won't be able to take charge." Lan Su said with a heavy face, "The second prince not only faked the imperial decree, but also used force to force the palace. We and the Imperial Army are disdainful of their actions, so guarding the west gate is just to wait for the army. King Zhen came to the rescue, but luckily the alleys are crisscrossed here, and the second prince couldn’t wait for me for a while. Now that King Rong Zhen has arrived, I believe that the situation will be reversed.”
"You are doing very well." Wu Yue tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Lan Su, you should pay close attention to the movements in the palace, and leave the rest to this king."
"No." Lan Su said goodbye and left.
"My lord, what should we do next?" a general asked.
"No rush for now." Wu Yue said, "Wait patiently."
Now Wangcheng is panicking because of the battle between the two princes. Although the second prince has entered the palace, King Soo has not changed his decree. A place above the ten thousand people.
However, if he wanted to secure the throne, the first thing he had to solve was the Imperial Army and Wu Yue's army. In terms of numbers, Li Xiao has the advantage, but in terms of elites, he is definitely not comparable to Wu Yue. Even if the strength of Wu Yue's cavalry in the city is greatly reduced, it should not be taken lightly.
In fact, Li Xiao did not expect such a development at first. He thought that he had the sacred oracle and military power and could easily force the prince to step down, but who knew that the sacred oracle was actually a fake. King Soo clarified when he was sober. pass. As a result, the soldiers came under the city, but the teacher was unknown. He had to make a desperate attempt, and he continued to use force to coerce. Otherwise, Li Xiao would not be able to escape no matter what.
It was night, and the entire royal city seemed to fall into a deep sleep, extremely quiet.
At this time, in the bedroom where King Soo was, a dark shadow slowly approached the bed.
King Soo, who was sleeping at first, seemed to sense something and opened his eyes in a daze. He had a dazed expression at first, but after seeing the figure beside the bed, he suddenly turned into surprise.
"Wu Yue! You...why are you here?" King Soo reluctantly spit out these words.
"Why can't Yue come?" Wu Yue said indifferently, standing beside the bed.
"Who asked you to come?" King Soo wanted to sit up, but his body was weak, and he couldn't stand up after a few tries.
Wu Yue sneered: "Your crown prince sent three urgent letters before recruiting Yue."
"Cough, cough, this stupid thing." King Soo blushed and cursed angrily. The reason why he didn't want to call Wu Yue into the capital was because he didn't want him to intervene in this battle for the throne. Who knew that Li Chen was so stupid that he couldn't even understand the deep meaning.
"Don't blame the prince, either." Wu Yue looked at him coldly and said, "Compared to Yue, the second prince is a greater threat to him. When you see the current situation, you can see that the prince is too soft-hearted and completely inferior to the second prince. As their father and king, you have no intention of presiding over the overall situation at all?"
"Hmph." King Soo gasped for a moment, "It has always been a king and a loser. Whoever wins is the king. Gu has no need to intervene. Even an orphan's child, Gu can be ruthless."
"Is it like you stepped on your brother's blood back then?" Wu Yue said mockingly.
King Soo glanced at him and said, "Your mother helped a lot back then."
Wu Yue's eyes froze, his hands resting on the side of the bed, and he said coldly, "But you let my mother kill my father with her own hands."
King Soo was horrified: "You...you..."
"Don't think it's a secret, I already knew it."
"Cough cough! You... your mother broke her promise and told you about it!"
Wu Yue hummed and said, "My mother really didn't say anything. When you forced my mother to kill my father, I hid in the cupboard. I heard all your conversations. It's a pity that I wasn't sensible back then. , thought it was nothing more than noisy words, until my father was killed suddenly..."
"I didn't expect you, but you already knew about it!" Regret flashed in King Soo's eyes, of course not because he regretted killing Wu Yue's father, but because he regretted raising tigers.
"Since then, I have vowed to take revenge." Wu Yue ignored King Soo's uncertain expression and continued, "For this purpose, I have planned for ten years."
King Soo looked at him in disbelief.
"Whether it is in the palace, or in Li Chen and Li Xiao's mansion, there are people of mine, even the imperial guards and ministers, and most of them are under my control."
"You...you! So, this coup..." King Soo's voice trembled a little.
"That's right, it was me who planned it." Wu Yue said lightly.
King Soo was breathing rapidly, and he didn't say a word for a long time. Finally, he finally calmed down and said, "Your mind is so deep, Guzhen underestimates you."
Wu Yue didn't answer, just looked at him indifferently.
King Soo asked again, "How are you going to deal with the orphaned child?"
"Do you still use me to deal with it?" Wu Yue sarcastically said, "I'm afraid you still don't know how your second prince treats your prince?"
King Soo turned his head: "Isn't it just death? What else?"
"Hmph, Li Xiao didn't kill him, he just pressed him onto the bed."
"What?" King Soo was furious and blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. They are brothers! Li Xiao actually even his own brother...
"This... this pervert!"
"Isn't this the result of your connivance? Seeing them kill each other with cold eyes, thinking that this is the king's way, but ignoring the most important character of a monarch. With Li Chen's generosity, it is enough to be a bright monarch. If not so , I can't be stationed in Wangcheng so quickly."
King Soo was already heartbroken, and after a long while he said in a hoarse voice, "Don't talk about it, the world of the Li family, you can take it! Isn't that what you want?"
Wu Yue didn't say any more, a long golden needle appeared in his hand at an unknown time, his hand started to fall, and the golden needle was quickly inserted into his head.
This injection did not kill King Soo, but made him fall into a deep sleep until he slowly passed away.
Then, Wu Yue took out an imperial decree from his arms and threw it on the bed. He looked at the withered King Soo again, and he walked away...
