Chapter Seventy-Four: The Emperor's Compromise

Since that year, Du Yun has secretly investigated the group of assassins, and even strongly recommended Emperor Ming to form the Flying Eagle Cavalry, but he still did not find direct evidence of King Yong and those assassins. When the news of Yuntianzong's slaughter reached Longcheng, the first object of his suspicion was King Yong, thinking that King Yong was trying to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

At this moment, he knelt beside the Ziqi Dragon case, and there were only two people around him, Emperor Ming and Yang Zhentian, but Du Yun still didn't know whether to tell Yun Ruowu the truth. If the slightest rumor leaks out, I am afraid that it will lead to another bloody storm.

"What the hell is going on?" Emperor Ming asked again with a loud shout.

"Du, what's wrong? You say, I'm in a hurry. Seeing this, Yang Zhentian under the purple stone steps was like an ant on a hot pot, and he was anxious, I don't know why Du Yun suddenly became so stubborn today, and even preferred to contradict His Majesty.

"The old slave can't say," Du Yun replied on his knees, sobbing.

"Why is that?" Emperor Ming knew that the loyal servant in front of him, who had followed him for decades, must have something to hide from him, and it was by no means a trivial matter, whether it was related to Yuntian Sect, or what news was found by the Flying Eagle Rider, he hid it from himself.

"Your Majesty, you just listen to the old slave's advice." Du Yun had a twist of inspiration in his heart, trying to use Yun Ruowu's attack on Linze Palace as an excuse, hoping to persuade Emperor Ming to change his mind.

He slowly got up from the ground, bowed to Emperor Ming and whispered, "Your Majesty, do you remember that Elder Du of the Vientiane Clan entered the assassin in Linze Palace?" ”

"Yes." Emperor Ming nodded, and moved his gaze to Yang Zhentian below the purple pier, as if he meant to blame.

Du Yun hurriedly defended, "It's no wonder that General Yang is responsible for this matter, after all, neither the Praetorian Guard nor the Nine Guards are in the hands of General Yang, and his duty is to defend Dragon City." ”

"Are you suspicious..."Although Emperor Ming was very relieved of his own brother, the growing Xuan Wolf Army in recent years was enough to compete with the Armor-Breaking Army. He initially acquiesced in the formation of the Wolf Army only under pressure from the north, but now the Wolf Army is already a big deal.

Du Yun didn't nod or shake his head, just sighed, and then said, "Being able to come and go freely in the Imperial City Forbidden Garden, I'm afraid there are not many people in this Dragon City who can do it." Although he did not directly name King Yong, it was enough to make Emperor Ming think of his own brother.

Emperor Ming was silent, his eyes long stared at the ink-colored stone slab, reflecting the magnificent Longque Palace.

"Your Majesty, the palace has entered the matter of assassins, and the lower officials have thoroughly investigated the whole city, but there is no clue, and like the fire in Dongshan, there is no trace at all." Yang Zhentian knelt on one knee and replied with a guilty face.

Although he, the Broken General's Mansion, was not responsible for the garrison of the Imperial City, once the Assassin escaped from the palace, it was his responsibility. For more than a month and a half, he sent dozens of teams of elite soldiers of the Armor-Breaking Army to turn over Dragon City, but he still had no clue.

"Are you worried that Yun Ruowu will still be in danger after staying in the Imperial City?" Emperor Ming propped his arms on the dragon case, his right index finger lightly tapped on the tabletop, and his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled.

"Yes, after all, the Yuntian Sect has just had a tragedy. And now that Yun Ruowu is the orphan of Yun Tianzong, it is inevitable that some people will have bad intentions. Du Yun was only concerned about Yun Ruowu's personal safety, and he didn't think of Emperor Ming's feelings at all.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can thieves run rampant, although Emperor Ming did not show it on his face, he was extremely unhappy in his heart. But he didn't expect that all this was done by his own brother, coupled with the fact that the Xuanwolf army was powerful and secretly colluded with the Canglong of the previous dynasty, even if Du Yun and Yang Zhentian joined forces, I am afraid that they would not be able to reverse the situation.

Emperor Ming slapped the dragon case fiercely, and said sharply, "Is this still my dragon city?" Is this still my world? ”

"Your Majesty..."Du Yun and Yang Zhentian hurriedly knelt on the ground and asked for sin.

"Your Majesty, the old slave knows very well that you miss the Wenxin Sect Master. But for the sake of the future of the Yuntian Sect, in order to pass on the mantle of the Wenxin Sect Master, you have to let it go. Du Yun knelt on the ground and kowtowed with tears in his eyes to ask Emperor Ming to retract his previous message.

Although Yang Zhentian didn't know why Du Yun tried his best to ask Yun Ruowu to leave Dragon City, even if the forbidden army was no longer good, he could connect it to the General of the Broken Army's Mansion.

"Are you pushing me?" Although Emperor Ming's face had changed, his tone was still very tough. After all, how can the order of the Son of Heaven be changed overnight, which will damage his majesty, not to mention that Du Yun is in front of the courtiers in the palace, it is simply ugly for himself.

"The old slave doesn't dare." Although Du Yun didn't dare in his mouth, his head kept slamming on the purple slate, and a bright red blood stain seeped out of his forehead, which made Emperor Ming really unbearable.

"Alright, alright. I promise you yes. In the end, Emperor Ming still didn't resist the old slave who had been with him for decades, he smiled bitterly, "But you only need to pass on this matter to Du Pingye of the Vientiane tribe, I am a golden mouth, how can you..."

"The old slave understands, the old slave understands." Du Yun hurriedly thanked him, slowly stood up from the purple pier, and bowed down to help Emperor Ming down.

"That's right, Megatron. Have you ever heard anything from the Broken Army? Emperor Ming walked to Yang Zhentian's side, suddenly stopped, and asked in a low voice.

Since the slaughter of Yuntian Sect, Emperor Ming has always suspected the real culprit behind the scenes, the eight tribes do not have this power, and the Kunwu army in the north is thousands of miles away to the north of Jinding Mountain, and the rest are the armor-breaking army and the Xuanwolf army. Even if Du Yun didn't say it explicitly, Emperor Ming still targeted his suspicions on these two strong forces defending the southern border.

"I wonder what Your Majesty is referring to? The lower officials are dull, and they hope that His Majesty will make it clear. Yang Zhentian's face was shocked, and he hurriedly knelt down and asked for instructions.

Du Yun, who was listening to this, also changed his expression suddenly, and secretly exclaimed in his heart, could it be that Emperor Ming suspected that the fall of the Yuntian Sect was related to Yang Zhentian. However, he sent a number of flying eagle cavalry to visit privately, and did not find any abnormal movement of the armor-breaking army, and even Yongxing City on the western border of the wasteland showed no signs of troop and horse mobilization.

"It's okay if you don't have it, you go to Linze Palace and see how King Yong's side handles it." Emperor Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly walked out of the Longque Hall with Du Yun's support.

Yang Zhentian knelt in place, watching Emperor Ming and Du Yun leave, and he never understood why the emperor suddenly asked such a question.

After about a while, when he walked out of the Longque Hall and walked down the stone steps quickly, he suddenly realized, and exclaimed in his heart, Emperor Fei Ming suspected that he was the mastermind behind the destruction of Yuntian Sect, thinking of this, his face turned pale, and he held the stone pillar under the stone steps of the temple, and his heart was instantly confused, and he didn't know what to do.

"General Yang, General Yang, are you okay?" The Praetorian Guards patrolling through the square outside the Longque Hall saw Yang Zhentian leaning on the Panlong Stone Pillar, panting and pale.

"It's okay, General Ben is just feeling unwell." Yang Zhentian tried his best to hold the Panlong Stone Pillar with his right hand, but his arm slipped and the whole person fell to the ground.

The Praetorian Guards on the side hurriedly helped him up, and a strong man with the appearance of a commander said respectfully, "Where is General Yang going?" Why don't we help you go to the hospital first? ”

"No, a few of you will help General Ben go to Linze Palace first." Yang Zhentian eased his nerves and said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

The four Praetorian Guards supported Yang Zhentian, walked through the Ziguang Gate, and headed towards the Linze Palace in the West Garden of the Imperial City.
