Chapter 203: Take them down
Once all the guests were seated, the maids of the Pine Forest Dart Bureau poured the wine, and the entire inner courtyard was filled with laughter and blessings, except for ......
Li Yuanchao!
This great prince of the Qin and Tang Empires, with supreme power and noble status, has he ever been treated so coldly, their table is in the corner of the hundred tables in the inner courtyard, and it can almost be said that it is isolated from this lively atmosphere by an invisible screen, so cold that no one cares about it at all!
Since the beginning of the banquet, the expressions on the faces of Li Yuanchao and Zhou Jing's gang seemed to be covered with frost, and their sharp eyes stared directly at the people of the Ye family, and the angry flames that burst out through the light of their eyes almost ignited the entire courtyard.
However......
What about Ye Feng?!
Li Yuanchao glanced at the audience and frowned: "Which of you has seen Ye Feng?"
Zhou Jing and the others shook their heads one after another.
"Your Highness, I didn't see him just now, and the young master of the Bi family beside him seems to be gone. Zhou Jing replied in a low voice.
Could it be that he is going to meet the magnates of the Dragon Teng Empire?
Hum!
Li Yuanchao snorted coldly.
What's the use of more dragon nobles! This is the land of Qin and Tang, no matter how noble their status is, it is impossible for those people to meddle in the affairs of Qin and Tang, the Ye family must get out today!
At this time, Li Yuanchao suddenly saw Ye Feng and Bi Zheng walking in from the outer courtyard, followed by a few Ye family dart masters, they were whispering something along the way, and after talking for a while, those dart masters ran out in a hurry.
This look, could it be to move the rescuers?
Li Yuanchao's mind moved, but the corners of his mouth quickly hooked up a sneer.
The entire Qin and Tang Dynasty have been controlled by his forces, and even his father and emperor will not receive any wind and grass today, and who in the empire dares to be the rescuer of his Ye family, it is simply wishful thinking!
After Ye Feng finished explaining the matter, he vaguely felt that there were a few eyes on his back, and he naturally understood who was paying close attention to his every move.
But even if he put everything under his nose, it didn't matter, and everything that happened next would not be under his control.
"Let's go, I'm going to prepare my speech. Ye Feng gently patted Bi Zheng's shoulder.
The two of them walked in the direction of the main table in the inner courtyard.
Main table.
The guests who were close to the Ye family were also the three princes and others, who were taking turns to toast Ye Tiannan, and the scene was so lively.
"Ye Lao, you must drink this cup, I wish you to increase your wealth, longevity, wealth, and prosperity, and add light and color to your auspiciousness!" someone handed over with a wine glass.
Ye Tiannan smiled and took it into his hand, raised his head and drank it all: "Okay! Thank you, thank you!"
"According to me, increasing blessing and longevity is secondary to our Ye Lao, and the most important thing now is to add a granddaughter-in-law and a big fat great-grandson!" someone coaxed.
Hahaha!
Ye Tiannan smiled with a red face, and his spirit was even more vigorous than he had ever been: "Okay! This is really to my heart! I must drink this cup! Come, let's toast!"
Several elders drank happily, but Ye Zhiyang on the side was so ashamed that his cheeks were scarlet, and he didn't dare to speak at all with his head down.
At this time, the third prince suddenly looked left and right and asked, "Ye Feng, why haven't they come back yet?"
Before the words fell, Ye Feng Langlang laughed: "Your Highness, we are here!"
Everyone's eyes instantly turned to Ye Feng.
"You're the busiest today, you haven't had a drink with all of us yet, hurry up and get a drink!"
Ye Feng didn't shirk either, walked to the table and directly picked up the wine glass and saluted: "The Ye family has to be taken care of by everyone, Ye Feng is grateful in his heart, we won't get drunk today!"
Good!
Hahaha!
Done!
The lively scene coupled with the fragrant wine simply released this pleasure infinitely.
"Less dart, the auspicious time has come, you should give a birthday speech on behalf of all of us!" someone walked over and reminded.
Ye Feng nodded, turned around and walked to the makeshift stage, and heard a gong sound.
Clang!
The commotion and laughter of the audience fell silent for a moment, and everyone put down the wine glasses in their hands and looked at the figure on the high platform.
Ye Feng glanced at the audience, bowed his hand, and said with a faint smile: "Distinguished guests, relatives and friends, today is the seventieth birthday of my grandfather Ye Tiannan, thank you for coming to celebrate him, in the past few years, the Songlin Dart Bureau has today's achievements because of your help and support, once again I only represent the Ye family and all the people of the Songlin Dart Bureau, I would like to extend my warmest phantom and heartfelt thanks to you!"
Bang Bang Bang!
The applause was thunderous and the cheers were like a tide.
Ye Tiannan stood in the crowd, looking even more excited, and his eyes were filled with crystal tears.
The Songlin Dart Bureau has been established for a hundred years, but it has never left Songlin County, and it was almost closed in his hands.
But because of Ye Feng's efforts, they walked step by step from the pine forest to Chencang, and from Chencang to the capital, such an achievement was something that Ye Tiannan never dreamed of in his life, but his grandson Ye Feng made it all come true in such a short period of time!
His maple is the real pillar of the Pine Forest Dart Game!
On the stage, after Ye Feng's simple opening remarks, he directly threw out the theme, and looked at Ye Tiannan with burning eyes: "Grandpa, a few years ago, Feng'er once broke your heart, it was your grandson's unfilial piety!"
After that, he picked up the wine cup prepared by the maid on the side, saluted the audience, and drank three glasses in a row very happily.
"Good!"
"Less dart head is good!"
The cheers and applause of the audience were like waves superimposed, almost overturning the clouds above the pine forest dart game.
But at this time, an abrupt and cold voice pierced like a spike: "Evergreen, hmph, I'm afraid that the dream of the pine forest dart game is about to come to an end!"
"What do you say?!"
"A dog can't spit out ivory!"
"If you don't really bless it, get out quickly, we don't welcome you in the dart game!"
The atmosphere of the audience changed suddenly, and the cold light swept away like ice spikes.
Previously, because of excitement and excitement, everyone was about to forget the existence of Li Yuanchao and Zhou Jing, but such an inappropriate sarcasm suddenly made their sense of existence stand up again.
It's just that this kind of existence is obviously guilty of public anger.
In particular, the dart masters of the Songlin Dart Bureau were even more wide-eyed and thick-necked.
As for Ye Feng, he didn't know when he had come down from the high platform, stood with Ye Tiannan and the others, and quietly watched what Zhou Jing was going to sing next.
Zhou Jing was surrounded by three or five thick people, but he just snorted coldly, then clapped his hands and shouted, "Bring it up!"
Bring?
Looks like you're prepared!
Li Yuanmin's eyes gestured to the few guards around him, as if he was ready to help the Ye family get out of trouble at any time.
But the few people who were pressed up by Zhou Jing's subordinates made the people of the Songlin Dart Bureau suddenly surprised.
This......
"Xiaohu, Xiaoming, Weiyang, you three ......"
"You didn't go to Izumo Province, why are you here?!"
"What the hell is going on?"
The dart masters all surrounded them.
But before they could get closer, they were stopped by the guards brought by the eldest prince.
"These three people are criminals of the imperial court, fornicating with foreign countries, and intending to rebel, how can you wait to get close!"
Chin?!
Rebel??
Mistaken?!
Xie Qi stood at the front of the crowd, crossed his waist and shouted: "Let your mother's fart!" These three are all newly recruited dart masters from our dart game, and I personally trained them, how did they become criminals, it is obvious that you are framing!"
In addition to the Ye family, there are also two princes in the entire inner courtyard, and the people brought by the two princes are Qin and Tang people, and the others are all powerful representatives of the Dragon Teng Empire, and they naturally have no right to speak as bystanders, but it does not mean that they do not have any position.
At this moment, these people are still surrounding the Ye family, obviously they have already expressed their attitude and absolutely support the Ye family and the Songlin Dart Bureau.
As for one of the most noble princes in the Qin and Tang Dynasties, Li Yuanmin naturally didn't believe what Zhou Jing said, but because of his identity, he had to look at this time from a public perspective.
Li Yuanmin thought about it, then walked up to the three little dart masters who were kneeling on the ground under the pressure of death, and asked in a cold voice: "You guys, are you being deliberately arrested and forced to frame the Songlin Dart Bureau?"
One of them, who looked to be only in his teens, was thin, with sunken cheekbones, and slightly drooping eyes, raised his head timidly, as if he had made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Tell His Royal Highness the Third Prince, we ...... We are being falsely accused!"
Wow!
Sure enough!
Such a clumsy design dares to be brought to the table, it seems that there is really no capable person in the camp of the great prince of Qin and Tang!
However, just a second before the uproar fell, the person who was pressed to kneel on the right side sobbed and said fiercely: "Weiyang! Don't lie! Hurry up and recruit! Do you want to lose your life for these traitors who seek glory for the Songlin Dart Bureau?!"
Hiss......
This plot is reversed a little fast!
"Xiaohu, don't talk nonsense...... We, we are framed!Ye family, young darts they ......" The man named Weiyang seemed to be very afraid of Ye Tiannan and Ye Feng, and his eyes were so weak that he looked at the two of them, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
It is his appearance that makes people feel that he has hidden feelings and dare not say it.
Ye Feng had already left Qin Tang a few months ago, and he didn't know the three little dart masters in front of him at all, but looking at their performances at this time, he naturally understood that they were bought by the eldest prince.
It is even possible that they were the chess pieces sent by the Great Prince to lay out from the beginning!
Although the Songlin Dart Bureau was set up, Ye Feng was still calm at the moment, and his calm and relaxed appearance made Ye Tiannan and the others inexplicably settle down, as if their trust in Ye Feng had been carved into their bones.
As for the third prince Li Yuanmin, although he didn't believe in this farce, but with so many Longteng people present, he could only face slightly gloomy and continue to shout coldly: "Tell the truth!"
The dart master named Xiaohu and the side did not speak, Xiao Ming, who was short and fat, with a round head and a round head, immediately fluttered and fell down, trembling as if he was frightened.
"Returning to the three princes...... We, our deeds have been revealed......"
"Yes, Third Prince, don't blame us for the failure of your plan!"
No way!
This Nima ......
What do you mean?!
The audience was stunned, and all the Qin and Tang people were even more dumbfounded.
The plan of the Three Princes?
Fierce material!
The audience was in an uproar again, and the sound of surprise was like an undercurrent.
And this time, even the group of Longteng magnates who were supposed to watch the excitement also seemed to be aroused, and they paid close attention to the changes in the situation here one by one.
At this moment, Li Yuanchao, who had been watching all this with a statue on the side for a long time, suddenly got up slowly, walked in front of the third prince and sneered: "Third brother, it seems that you can't be coerced, but you have been dragged into the water, but yes, if it weren't for you, the mastermind, how could a mere pine forest dart bureau collude with Izumo?"
"Big brother, such a great crime of disobedience and heinous criminals for treason and glory, how can you slander me with this!" Li Yuanmin scolded coldly.
Li Yuanchao snorted coldly, and glanced at the three people on the ground with squinted eyes: "Slander?
"Physical evidence?!"
Li Yuanmin was shocked.
Zhou Jing took out a stack of crumpled papers from his arms, shook them in front of hundreds of pairs of eyes, and sneered proudly: "These confidential documents were found from the dart cart that was transported to Izumo by the Songlin Dart Bureau, and all of them are the first-class secrets of our Qin and Tang Empires, once leaked, the whole country will definitely be in danger!"
"Li Yuanmin, you used these documents to sell out the Yun Kingdom, and wanted to unite them to launch a rebellion, and take the opportunity to seize power and ascend to the throne of the Qin and Tang Kingdoms, am I telling the truth?" Li Yuanchao's smile was gloomy like a demon coming from hell.
"Of course not!"
Li Yuanmin's face barely maintained calm, but his clenched teeth still betrayed the panic in his heart.
Treason, this is the greatest taboo of the father.
Big brother's move is too vicious!
"Whether it is or not, it is up to the Criminal Department and the Emperor to decide, as for today......"
Li Yuanchao glanced at the audience and snorted coldly: "Today, Ye Tiannan's old dart head is 70th birthday, and we don't want to be too ugly, so it's better for you to be obedient and follow us back to be investigated, so as not to eat some unnecessary skin, meat, and bitterness!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jing had already commanded the guards to step forward, wanting to arrest Ye Tiannan, Li Yuanmin and others.
The three little dart masters who were suppressed had also been arranged to retreat to the corner, as if they were afraid that someone would snatch their 'human certificates'.
At this point, Li Yuanchao's plan is simply not too smooth, he seems to have been able to see Ye Tiannan can't stand the torture and confesses, the Ye family was completely expelled from the Qin and Tang Empires, and Li Yuanmin is even more dead without a place to be buried!
But at this moment, there was a sudden sneer in the crowd.
"Surveyed?
"Bold!"
The first protector general, Wei Chixiong, snorted coldly, his eyes were like a hero, his breath was like a flame, and he glanced at the audience.
On the other side, Wang Ming, who was standing face to face with him, sneered coldly and sneered: "General Wei Chi is the first protector of our Qin and Tang Dynasties, and his merits are great, why do you seem to have become the side of the great prince today...... A dog?"
Woo rang!
A group of guards, the cold front is out of the sheath!
The scene of the confrontation between the two parties suddenly became extremely tense, like a piercing and cold ice arrow suddenly piercing the whole audience!
Ye Feng's expression did not move, but his eyes gradually became cold.
Several bigwigs of the Dragon Teng Empire whispered a few words, and then walked to the front of the crowd one by one.
Meng Kuan's silver trumpet also has dozens in Qin and Tang, and he is considered half an old acquaintance of Qin and Tang, so he said first: "This matter needs to be investigated, and there is no hurry at this moment, His Royal Highness the Great Prince might as well wait until the birthday banquet is over, why destroy such a rare happy event?"
"Exactly. β
The head of the Shen family of the weapons family also smiled and nodded: "There are a large number of people who come to celebrate the birthday today, if it is because of this little misunderstanding, it will sweep everyone's interest, I am afraid that the eldest prince's move will also lose the etiquette of the Qin and Tang Dynasties, so it is better to stop there!"
The Janissary Army, which led the Longteng Imperial Court represented by Lord Zhou, was inconvenient to say, but he had secretly sent someone to stop outside the passage of the inner courtyard, as if he vaguely expressed his attitude.
As for Bi Tianjun and Bi Zheng, the heads of the Bi family, they have always stood by the side of the Ye family and others, and they have completely become one with them.
Li Yuanchao had long expected that these powerful people who came to congratulate him on his birthday would come out to speak, so he was naturally prepared, looked at them indifferently, and put on the majesty of the prince of a country and said: "You are a force that is friendly with Qin and Tang, so you should naturally be treated with courtesy, but what you have to deal with today is the internal affairs of our Qin and Tang Kingdoms, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to interfere, if you insist on interfering, I am afraid that it will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries." β
The implication is that if you Longteng people dare to help the Songlin Dart Bureau, then you will have to bear the big crime of damaging the communication between the two countries!
This big hat was buttoned down, and the magnates of Longteng were suppressed in an instant, and those who still wanted to help the Songlin Dart Bureau speak, one by one, seemed to be afraid, and silently stood aside to observe the situation.
At this time, Wei Chixiong waved his hand.
I saw the general behind him shouting: "Take it!"
Whoa!
A large group of soldiers suddenly rushed in from the outer courtyard, and the fierce blood and turbulent qi rushed through the field like a hurricane.
These soldiers lurking around the pine forest dart bureau, at least thousands, quickly surrounded the inner courtyard and even the entire dart bureau as soon as they heard the order, and became an impregnable prison like an iron bucket.
But these soldiers were not the Praetorian Guards of the city, but ...... The army of the Qin-Tang border guard?!
When Li Yuanmin recognized the soldiers' clothes, he immediately rushed into flames of rage and shouted: "Li Yuanchao! You dare to transfer troops privately! Who is going to rebel?"
With such a large number of troops, it must not be a temporary transfer, but I am afraid that it has been stationed outside the city for many days, but it has been deliberately concealed, so there has been no rumor in the city or even the imperial court!
Li Yuanchao's plan is simply leaky!
Li Yuanchao looked at his younger brother with pity and mockery, and said with a strange smile: "At this moment, you still want to bite me back?" Let me tell you, the mobilization of these troops is because you are in the same stream as Izumo Country, I must have a perfect preparation to suppress your rebellion, even if my father knows that I transferred troops without authorization, he will definitely not blame me, Li Yuanmin, and your accomplice Ye Tiannan, so far, you are not quickly arrested!"
"Captured?"
Li Yuanmin's aura rose sharply, and his strong and domineering spirit had never been shown in front of people, and his voice was as cold as an ice sword: "Big brother, just these soldiers, I'm afraid that you won't be able to catch me and the Ye family, if you really want to make trouble today, then I will follow you, I will go to my father's golden palace now, so good for praise!"
Li Yuanchao glanced at him with disdain: "Comment, Li Yuanmin, how naΓ―ve are you? Do you think I will give you a chance to speak? Come on!"
Swish!
He waved again.
Several powerful auras suddenly surged towards the sky above the inner courtyard, and before everyone could see what was happening, four figures had already appeared beside Li Yuanchao.
Ye Feng, who was standing at the front of the crowd on the other side, looked indifferent, swept away at a glance, and the first thing he saw was a master at the level of a Xuanshi.
This person and Yu Chixiong look about the same age, a beginner-level Xuan Master, wearing a navy blue power suit, with a strong figure, slender eyes, sword eyebrows and sideburns, and a cold expression on his face, but his eyes are glowing with the grand light of flames, and his aura is compelling.
As for the other three, they are all masters of the Xuan Realm, and they are all top-notch powerhouses in the Qin and Tang Empires regardless of level or momentum.
When the situation is in this way, it has become clear.
Not to mention the thousands of soldiers surrounding, just from the perspective of the two sides of the confrontation, although the Ye family also has a few masters, they are all Xuanshi, and the highest strength realm is like Ye Zhiyang and Lu Ji, and they are all high-level Xuanshi.
But on Li Yuanchao's side, with the addition of Yu Chixiong and Zhou Jing, there are a total of six Xuanjing masters, three of whom are still one of the few Xuanjing masters in the dynasty.
With this comparison, the Songlin Dart Bureau and others are completely like being crushed, and they are already defeated without a fight.
Smack.
Zhou Jing, who looked proud, stepped forward with a sneer and arched his hand perfunctorily towards the third prince Li Yuanmin: "Your Highness, please." β
Li Yuanmin's face was as heavy as ink, but he didn't make any moves.
Zhou Jing turned in Ye Feng's direction again, and shouted viciously: "The Ye family is arrested for disobedience, and the crime of rebellion is confirmed, and all the people are arrested!"
"Who dare!!"
A loud shout.
I saw more than a dozen dart masters rushing up under the leadership of Xie Qi, protecting Ye Feng and Ye Tiannan and the others behind them, even if their strength was inferior, their surging momentum was not inferior to that of the other party.
"Who dares to touch the old man, I will fight with you!"
"Yes! Fight! Lao Tzu has a cheap life, kill one without losing money, kill two to make money!"
"Come on, I'll see who dares to move!"
These people are all old dart masters who have followed the Ye family for a long time, and some of them are still brought out of Songlin County, and they have already sworn allegiance to the Ye family for a long time, and now they are doing their best to fight for their lives and protect the Ye family!
On the other side, Lu Ji had quietly appeared beside Ye Zhiyang at some point, and asked, "Miss, do you want to let them make a move?" If it is a hard fight, we may be able to save Ye Lao and Shao Dart and others from leaving the capital. β
Ye Zhiyang's eyebrows twisted slightly, his eyes subconsciously looked in Ye Feng's direction, and whispered: "Don't act rashly for the time being." β
Just now, a moment before Lu Ji spoke, Ye Zhiyang clearly saw the eyes that Ye Feng passed to him.
He's saying, rest assured.
At this time, the eldest prince Li Yuanchao gave Yu Chixiong a cold look.
Then, I saw the general who protected the country waved his hand again and ordered: "The generals listen to the order, the arrest of the Songlin Dart Bureau has become a fact, take it down for me!"
"Rush!"
"Take them down!"
