Chapter Seventy-Nine: Confrontation
At the funeral banquet of Jiangyuan Palace, Feng Yewu and Zheng Tianlan sat on one side, quietly watching the people who came to participate in the funeral.
Next to the tablet of the prince, the princess who was nearly mid-year old had long been crying.
Feng Yewu noticed a middle-aged general standing beside the princess, with a sad expression, softly comforting the princess, and asking the housekeeper with some doubts.
"Who is this person?"
Throughout the funeral banquet, Zhu Bangyan's generals all sat at the round table to eat, but this person was the deputy head of filial piety, just like a close relative of the Zhu family.
The old butler looked for prestige and replied softly.
"He is Wang Kang, the deputy general of the prince, the son of the prince, and he was the one who was seriously injured and returned with the body of the prince."
Zheng Tianlan looked at Feng Yewu, who looked thoughtful, and asked the housekeeper.
"Only the adjutant came back that day?"
When the old housekeeper heard Zheng Tianlan's inquiry, his eyes were full of admiration and relief, and he nodded and sighed.
"The Tidi people are ferocious, thanks to the desperate killing of Deputy General Wang, they were able to save the whole body of the prince."
There were many funeral banquets, so Zhu Bangyan asked the old housekeeper to entertain Feng Yewu and the three of them, without revealing their identities.
At this moment, finding that Lu Jue was not there, the old housekeeper asked suspiciously.
"My lord, where did the handsome and reasonable son go before?"
Feng Yewu smiled slightly, took a sip of the tea next to him, and tasted the echo.
"The old butler doesn't have to worry, he went to buy some things for me and mourn my son."
After finishing speaking, Feng Yewu's eyes darkened, staring at Wang Kang quietly, with a hint of playfulness hanging on the corners of his mouth.
Zhu Bangyan sat on the side and looked at the princess, sighed helplessly, and turned to Wang Kang hoarsely.
"Kang'er, you and An'er grew up together, and now that he is dead, in the future, this land of the source of the river can only be entrusted to you as a father."
When Wang Kang heard this, he was shocked, and immediately knelt down on one knee and replied in a deep voice.
"Father-in-law! After the loss of the son, I also asked my father-in-law to allow me to lead the elite to kill him without leaving a piece of armor to repay the blood hatred! ”
Wang Kang's words immediately attracted the full audience to echo him.
For a while, there was a lot of noise.
Bang!
"Enough!"
Zhu Bangyan's face turned red, and he struggled to shoot the case and scolded everyone.
After everyone was silent, Zhu Bangyan slowly got up, his eyes briefly skimmed over Feng Yewu's side, and stood with his hands behind his back.
"I, Zhu Bangyan, fought against Tidi, and never flinched, how could I not avenge the loss of my son! It's just that the old man is dying, and in the future, someone will inherit this land of the source of the river to defend the border of our Ye Dynasty. ”
When Zhu Bangyan said this, he specially glanced at Feng Yewu, but his face was not wavering, and he just nodded slightly and motioned for him to continue.
"The Zhu family has a single lineage, and now there is no successor to this king, Kang'er has watched me grow up since I was a child, and I have fought on the battlefield for many years, I am most assured, the king of Beichang wrote yesterday that I want to join forces with my Zhu family to kill Tidi, I will lead the old department to go, and the land of Jiangyuan will be managed by Kang'er in the future."
When Wang Kang heard that Zhu Bangyan finished speaking, he was overjoyed, but unexpectedly, a voice outside Jiangyuan's palace shouted.
"Lord Wang, please slow down!"
Lu Jue smiled and walked in indifferently, leading a person with one hand, interrupting Zhu Bangyan's words.
Zhu Bangyan looked at Lu Jue, who didn't know the number of etiquette, and his expression was a little angry, while Wang Kang on the side was shocked when he saw the person in Lu Jue's hand, and his expression changed greatly.
Zhu Bangyan's eyebrows tufted, and his voice indifferently accused Lu Jue.
"Master Lu, you are a close confidant of Your Majesty, but you shouldn't meddle in the affairs of my Jiangyuan."
Lu Jue threw the man casually, bent down and saluted Zhu Bangyan, and then asked Wang Kang with a sneer.
"Vice General Wang, do you know this person?"
Wang Kang restrained his expression in a panic, got up and looked at Lu Jue vigilantly.
"Of course, this person came to the palace yesterday, and he was sent by the king of Beichang to send the couplet."
Lu Jue nodded and smiled after hearing this, and continued to ask.
"Then why did this person go to the house of Deputy General Wang after leaving the palace yesterday and give this generous gift?"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Jue threw the burden behind him in front of everyone, only to hear a loud bang, and a pile of silver ingots poured out.
"You're spewing blood!"
Wang Kang was shocked when he saw the familiar burden, and immediately angrily scolded Lu Jue, and then hurriedly knelt in front of Zhu Bangyan to prove his innocence.
"Father, yesterday this messenger wanted to buy me, but I rejected it with words, so don't listen to others."
Zhu Bangyan quietly glanced at the silver dollars on the ground, and the word Beichang was indeed engraved under a few ingots.
"It's all right, get up."
Zhu Bangyan waved his hand at Wang Kang and didn't care, turned around and sat back in the chair, looking gloomy, and said softly.
"Today is An'er's death day, let's talk about these side events later."
Now, Zhu An was killed by Tidi, which has made Zhu Bangyan unintentionally deceitful, and it has been stated in his remarks that after the funeral, he will lead his troops to kill the enemy and take revenge with his life.
Life and death are out of the way, how can you care about this change of power?
Lu Jue saw Zhu Bangyan's demeanor, sneered, and sneered.
"Isn't the prince going to let the murderer go and be a knife?"
When Zhu Bangyan heard Lu Jue's ridicule, he was immediately furious and warned loudly.
"Lu Jue, this king has endured you again and again, bullied my veteran's arm, and I don't dare to do anything to you!"
Zhu Bangyan only wanted to kill Tidi at the moment, and he didn't want to investigate whether Wang Kang had an affair with the King of Beichang.
And this angry rebuke seemed to warn Lu Jue, but it actually reminded Feng Yewu who was reminding him.
Jiangyuan Mansion was full of Zhu Bangyan's soldiers, and when they heard the anger in Zhu Bangyan's words, they drew their swords one after another, and the scene was tense for a while.
Seeing this, Feng Yewu got up and walked to Lu Jue's side, looked at Wang Kang with cold eyes, and said to Zhu Bangyan.
"The prince doesn't have to be so angry, why don't you listen to Lu Jue's words?"
Zhu Bangyan saw Feng Yewu come forward, snorted coldly, and waved his hand to signal the generals to put down their blades.
Lu Jue continued.
"The prince has been at war with Tidi for many years, but has he ever seen the Tidi clan use a sword? Vice General Wang broke out of the encirclement alone, but he was extraordinary, but he didn't know why he recovered in a day or two? The revenge of the prince will naturally be avenged, but who this murderer is, the prince has to see it clearly. ”
When Zhu Bangyan heard Lu Jue's analysis, his face was suspicious for a while.
What Lu Jue said was indeed reasonable, the pain of losing his son made Zhu Bangyan lose his mind, and after such a reminder, he reacted.
Seeing Zhu Bangyan's hesitant expression, Wang Kang immediately panicked, and retorted Lu Jue angrily.
"Childe is suspicious of the end? The Tidi people set up an ambush to buy our light cavalry spies, and lied about the military situation to lead to the tragic death of the son, and the sword injuries were all done by the Tidi elite, I fought bravely to kill the enemy and escaped, do you want us to wait for the whole army to be wiped out? ”
Lu Jue looked at Wang Kang, who was angry, very calmly, and asked suspiciously.
"The general is skilled, I am naturally convinced, but I don't know why there is no corpse except for the son?"
