Chapter 54: The Eight Princes
"Rest assured, since it is a matter of humble words, it will definitely not let you suffer injustice. Mei San patted his chest and said.
Ling Yu was sure in his heart, and nodded, "Then let's start?"
Mei San was stunned, then laughed, and said after a long time: "The prince really thinks I have that kind of ability?"
"Haven't you?" Ling Yu frowned, "Then how can you prove my innocence?"
"I think back then, the prince was very prestigious in black and white, and he relied not on force, but on morality. Mei San's face showed yearning, "As his son, you must not do such a despicable thing." ”
What he said seemed to have some truth, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not like that, even the beneficiary Ling Yu felt that it was very inappropriate, and said slightly: "As the saying goes, knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts, you just rely on my father's personality, and it is child's play to draw such a conclusion." Aren't you afraid, I really did that thing to cast a shadow on your light?"
Mei San bowed and thanked: "It's because of this that I had to test you just now, and please forgive me." ”
Ling Yu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't continue to investigate, just frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.
Mei San seemed to know what he was thinking, and said: "Lord Shizi, those who achieve great things are not informal, since you need to stay in the Double Emperor Academy, and you are really innocent, it is better to do what you say in your humble position." ”
After thinking for a while, Ling Yu suddenly grinned and said, "Just do as you say." The most important thing to be a man is to be worthy of heaven and earth, if you pursue the way of a gentleman too much, it will be too roundabout. ”
Mei Sanxi said: "So, the prince agreed?"
"Well, I want to trouble you to tell Teacher Ge. Ling Yu nodded.
Mei San's prestige in the Shuangdi Academy is not low, and no one questioned what he said, just like that, the two sides were deadlocked, and there was often some friction at the beginning, but gradually, this matter was forgotten.
Zhao Yanran is an orphan, she is missing, naturally no one will investigate this matter, and the academy is also happy.
After January, as the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, the college took a five-day break to allow students to go home to reunite with their parents. Since the beginning of this month, Ling Yu has often secretly scolded the vice president and the mud for his inaction, and at the same time, he has cultivated hard, to the point of a six-star fighter.
Of course, there is also the credit of Mr. Long, and the other students who practice with him are obviously not worse than him, but the speed of progress is a big difference.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go to the hot spring to find it again, but Wu Tong and the others didn't give him a chance at all, and rushed to Peacock Villa as soon as he had a holiday.
Depart in the morning and arrive at the lodge in the evening.
Seeing the welcoming team, the four of them looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. Wu Changfeng and Zhu Changliu stood side by side in the front, and behind them were the mighty disciples of the mountain villa.
Although Ling Yu knew that Zhu Changliu was quite strict in the army, he didn't expect to see the effect so quickly.
The martial arts master said something to the four of them, and then sighed lightly.
"Dad," Wu Tong stepped forward and hugged him, "Is there something going on at home?" ”
The martial arts master glanced at the four of them, smiled with relief, but did not speak, and then looked at Zhu Changliu.
Zhu Changliu's expression was also a little solemn, "This matter is not something you can worry about. When the new emperor was the crown prince, he loved the crown princess very much, and now after ascending the throne, he is even more lawless, drunk with her every day in the meat pond and meat forest, gentle countryside. If this continues, I'm afraid that the Orc Congress will start a war again!"
Speaking of this mediocre and unscrupulous monarch who had harmed his entire family, a wave of hatred rose uncontrollably in Ling Yu's heart.
Ling Yue'er saw that his fists were clenched, his expression was too excited, and he hurriedly pulled his sleeve, only then did he come to his senses and said loudly: "How dare the orcs do this when the Demon King was here? Killing the Demon King family is tantamount to destroying the Great Wall, once the two countries go to war, even if he dies, he will be innocent!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Wu Changfeng reprimanded sharply, and then said gently, "Nephew Ling Shi, the Demon King and the first emperor are friends of eight worships, and it is indeed inappropriate for the emperor to do that, but the ministers should also keep it in mind!"
Ling Yu was quite unimpressed, and blurted out: "The people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light! If the minister does not discuss the monarch's wrongs, how can the monarch know his own wrongs?"
Wu Changfeng originally wanted to say that he had his own imperial history, but after thinking about it, several upright imperial historians in the court had already been killed, so he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.
"In contrast, Xiao Min, the eighth prince, is highly respected," Zhu Changliu was worried about Wu Changfeng's embarrassment, so he diverted the topic, "But it's a pity that in order to avoid trouble, he had to guard the tomb of the first emperor in Yuzhou, and he was not summoned, and he was not allowed to enter the imperial city for the rest of his life!"
This Xiao Min and Ling Yu are the same age, the two have grown up together since childhood, and the relationship is as good as a person, he thought that he had been poisoned, but now that he learned that he was still in the world, he was immediately overjoyed.
He saw everyone's suspicious gazes, and his black and white eyes turned, and he said with a straight face: "The royal ancestors and ancestors of the Xingjia Empire are all in Yuzhou, and although the eighth prince is a little condescending to guard the mausoleum there, he doesn't have to watch out for the good imperial brother day and night. ”
At this time, Wu Changfeng let out a long breath, "What the nephew said is not unreasonable, if there is really a war, then our Peacock Villa has no reason to stay out of the matter, even if it is not for the royal surname Xiao, we have to consider it for the sake of the common people in the world." ”
"Not bad!" Wu Tong said proudly, "Those who practice martial arts, if they are small, they will strengthen their bodies, and if they are big, they will be hired on the battlefield, even if the horse leather shroud is returned, they are still a real man!"
All the disciples were infected by him, and echoed in unison, and the voice went straight to the sky.
Back in his room, Ling Yu cultivated for a while, his mood was agitated, and he said in his heart: Anyway, Emperor Xiao Yu is the brother of Brother Min, I want to seek revenge on him, will I turn against him?
After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with a result, or rather, he just didn't dare to think about it.
"Even if I turn against each other, I will rescue my father!" Ling Yu stared at the candle flame jumping on the table, his gaze firm, "As long as my father is safe and sound, for the sake of Brother Min'er's face, I won't hurt his life." ”
"Brother Ling, are you asleep?" was thinking about it, and a person outside the door said in a thick voice.
Ling Yu shook his head, leaving all those worries behind, and said, "I haven't slept yet, Brother Wu, please come in." ”
Wu Tong pushed the door in, and the first thing that caught Ling Yu's eyes was the white wine jug he was holding in his hand, as well as two glasses.
Ling Yu smiled bitterly: "Brother Wu, we haven't reached the age of drinking yet, it's not good to drink secretly, right?"
Wu Tong said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, this is fruit wine, the most sweet, but not intoxicating, Daddy has always ignored the disciples to drink this." After what happened last time, I don't dare give you any more spirits. ”
Hearing him say this, Ling Yu really wanted to taste it, Wu Tong seemed to be able to see his thoughts, and immediately poured him a cup.
Ling Yu took a shallow sip, feeling that the entrance was sweet, but not spicy, and it was indeed a good fruit wine. Suddenly, he remembered something, although this fruit wine is delicious, but it is not very precious, Wu Tong's late night visit must not be as simple as wine tasting.
"Brother Martial Brother should have something else to do, right?" Ling Yu went straight to the point.
"Not bad. Wu Tong nodded, his expression gradually becoming solemn, "During the time we left home, the villa mined a lot of malachite, and my father asked us to send it to the city tomorrow." ”
