"Bastard thing!"

Faced with the sudden appearance of Yan Chong and Han Xiao, Yan Zheng quickly turned from initial shock to annoyance, only to see him turn around suddenly, pick up the teacup on the table and throw it at Lu Yifan on the opposite side, his eyes were split, and he shouted angrily: "Okay, you Lu Yifan, this king believes in you so much, you actually set up a situation to harm me!"

"I ......" Lu Yifan's face was also full of doubts after easily dodging the teacup, because he didn't know why Han Xiao and Yan Chong suddenly appeared here, facing Yan Zheng's eyes that hated to eat people, Lu Yifan frowned and thought for a moment, but he quickly reacted, and then turned his inquiring gaze directly to the silent Yulou who was sitting aside, "Yulou, this is ......"

Before Lu Yifan's words could be asked, Yulou nodded first, and then smiled softly: "Originally, I wanted to discuss with you last night, but you were drunk, so I had no choice but to discuss and decide with Brother Liu and Ji Yuan first." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info This matter is considered to be my first cut and then played, and I hope Yifan will not be surprised!"

"At that time, we thought that if we let you know about this earlier, we were afraid that tonight's scene would not be good, so we decided to hide it from you for the time being. Liu Sandao hurriedly explained, "Yifan, if you knew in advance that Yan Zheng was the mastermind behind the murder of the Lu family, presumably you would not have a good face for him tonight, in order to let Yan Zheng expose his wolf ambitions, so ......"

"I understand!" Without waiting for Liu Sandao to finish speaking, Lu Yifan showed a relieved smile at him, signaling that he didn't have to worry about this matter, "You did the right thing!"

"Lu Yifan, how long do you want to play your play?" Yan Zheng's face turned red and panted like a bull, glaring at Lu Yifan viciously, the people he hated the most at this moment were not Yan Chong and Han Xiao who suddenly appeared, but the pain caused by Lu Yifan, who he thought was the most trustworthy, and the pain caused by being betrayed by someone he trusted was much sadder than losing in the hands of the enemy.

"Yan Zheng!"

Standing at the door, Yan Chong's old eyes were full of anger and sorrow, this kind of look he had appeared once before when he was punishing Yan Chong, as the lord of the holy realm, he should have looked over the universe and controlled the world, but in the end, he couldn't even see a few of his relatives and brothers, I don't know if this is a great sorrow?

Yan Chong's mouth was like a hammer hitting his heart, which made Yan Zheng, who was angry, tremble, only to see him turn around slowly, looking back at Yan Chong with a touch of extremely complicated eyes, his lips trembled for a long time, but after all, he couldn't even utter half a word.

"Master, I'll protect you and kill you!" Zhou Xin, who was guarding the side, was also disillusioned at the moment, and he gradually reacted from the shock, he shouted violently, and then grabbed Yan Zheng's arm, brandished a short knife and stabbed towards Yan Chong, trying to shake Yan Chong away, and then took the opportunity to rush out with Yan Zheng.

"Presumptuous!"

But before Zhou Xin's blade touched Yan Chong's robe, Han Xiao, who was standing on the side, suddenly let out a soft shout, and then his right fist was as fast as lightning, and this heavy punch had already smashed into his head before Zhou Xin could react.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, Zhou Xin, who originally wanted to escape with Yan Zheng, only felt that his head was as if he had been hit by a speeding carriage, and the feeling of severe pain had not yet had time to enter his mind, and a cold and piercing feeling of dizziness had replaced all his consciousness, and then Zhou Xin only felt that the scenery in his eyes suddenly became enlarged and blurred, and then countless warm currents crossed his face, and then his throat was deflated for a while, and his mouth and nose seemed to have completely lost his strength and could not breathe in any air, and the blur and dizziness instantly turned into pitch black, the strength of the whole body was also drained at the same time.

"Forehead ......"

In the eyes of others, this scene was far from comfortable, everyone only saw Han Xiao's iron fist slammed into Zhou Xin's temple, and instantly smashed Zhou Xin's skull into a large depression, Zhou Xin's two eyeballs also took advantage of the situation, and the blood gushed out of the seven orifices, and those red and white things did not flow out of Zhou Xin's seven orifices at all, but directly spewed out. After Zhou Xin's body was as hideous as a dried corpse for a moment, he suddenly fell backwards and planted directly on the table full of wine and food, accompanied by a 'ding-ding-clang' breaking sound, a table of dishes was overturned, and cups and saucers were shattered to the ground.

And it is worth mentioning that even at the moment when Zhou Xin died, his left hand still held Yan Zheng's arm and did not let go, so that after Zhou Xin fell, Yan Zheng also staggered back a few steps, and finally sat on the ground in a mess.

"Zhou Xin! Zhou Xin!" Yan Zheng shook Zhou Xin's body desperately with a panicked face, and he was embarrassed to burst into tears between shouts.

As for Zhou Xin, he was always staring at Yan Zheng from the two blood holes that had lost his eyeballs, his mouth and nose were still spraying thick blood outward, his body was twitching from time to time, but his left hand was holding Yan Zheng's arm as if it had been filled with molten iron, and he never let go.

"Hmph, I don't know if it's alive or dead!" Han Xiao had an extremely disdainful attitude towards Zhou Xin's tragic death, only to see that after he killed Zhou Xin with one punch, he also subconsciously wiped his blood-stained right fist with his left sleeve, and the cold killing intent in his tiger eyes looking at Yan Zheng and Zhou Xin never diminished in the slightest.

"You think you can trap me by killing Zhou Xin?" Yan Zheng glared at Han Xiao and Yan Chong viciously with a pair of scarlet eyes, and said word by word, "You really think I'm completely unprepared?"

"I don't think your so-called preparation will appear!" Just when Yan Zheng's words fell, Xie Yun and Ji Yuan suddenly walked into the inner room, and the person who had just opened his mouth to speak was Xie Yun, who had just met Xie Feng, and I saw him say coldly, "The people of the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce have already given up this deal with you, and Qi Shan has already left Jinling City with Xie Feng just now!"

"What?" As soon as Xie Yun said this, a ringing suddenly flashed in Yan Zheng's mind. You must know that the people of Xuanzong will not officially come forward at all, and the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce has become Yan Zheng's only lifesaver tonight, at this moment, hearing Xie Yun say this, a sense of humiliation and despair of being abandoned instantly surged into Yan Zheng's heart, making his eyes tremble at this moment, and the despair made him seem to be more than ten years old all of a sudden, and he muttered to himself again and again, "Impossible...... It can't be ......"

"Yan Zheng, this emperor believes in you so much, but you want to seek power and usurp the throne?" Yan Chong's tone sounded indescribably sour, and his sorrow and disappointment were far greater than his heart at this moment, and the sorrow and disappointment in Yan Chong's heart at this moment were far greater than his anger, "And you even colluded with the rebels outside the city to try to cooperate with the outside world, ...... you You've disappointed the Emperor so much!"

"Disappointed?" Yan Chong's words seemed to arouse Yan Zheng's anger all of a sudden, only to see him tear Zhou Xin's hand away, and then stood up slowly, his embarrassed face was full of terrifying hideousness at the moment, and the face mixed with tears and anger made him look a little crazy, "What qualifications do you have to say disappointed in front of me? I am the most disappointed person in this room tonight!" With that, Yan Zheng slowly stretched out his hand and pointed at everyone in the room, with a trace of anger after despair in his eyes, "You, you, you...... Each one of you has already joined hands to calculate the king...... The people of the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce know how to deceive this king if they don't keep their promises...... And you, Lu Yifan, the king of loss has been gracious to you many times, and this is how you repay this king's kindness?"

"Your so-called helping me is actually just to achieve your own goals!" Lu Yifan took a deep breath and said in an indifferent tone, "And the most intolerable thing is that you actually sent someone to attack the Lu family at night, do you know how many innocent clansmen of my Lu family died in your hands that night?"

"So what?" Yan Zheng suddenly roared frantically, "If it weren't for this king's repeated protection of the Lu family, your Lu family would have been killed by the whole clan, and the lives of all the people in your Lu family were saved by this king, what if this king got a few lives back when he needed it? At least you are still alive! At least Lu Haoqian is still alive! Shouldn't you be grateful to me?"

"You also say this kind of thing?" Liu Sandao sneered, "If it weren't for you to provoke it, the Emperor Ling would not have been in trouble with the Lu family at all!

"Less nonsense!" Yan Zheng didn't care about anything now, he sneered and looked around at everyone in the room, and suddenly laughed out loud, "Whoever is a prince and a loser, today I, Yan Zheng, have fallen into such a field, of course I am up to you to say anything...... I did everything I could but I didn't calculate that Lu Yifan you are such a despicable and shameless villain, you are a white-eyed wolf who will take revenge, today I am planted in your hands, I am blind and look at the wrong person, I deserve it!"

"Do you think that by saying these words, you can make Lu Yifan's conscience uneasy, and then come forward to save your life?" Yulou suddenly sneered, "King Shengxi, you are really smart and confused, you have neither soldiers and horses nor money and food in your hands, I really can't understand why you want to rebel? Lan Shixun rebelled because he had hundreds of thousands of troops worth relying on. But what about you? What do you have? You have nothing but the false name of King Saint Si. With your cleverness, it is impossible for you not to see how much strength you have? You should also clearly know that with your strength, it is impossible to shake the position of the current emperor! Your only chance is to take advantage of the chaos of Lan Shixun's rebellion to fish in troubled waters, but the biggest problem is that at the moment, whether it is the emperor or Lan Shixun, they all have the capital to fish in this troubled water, but you have nothing. So no matter who wins or loses in the end, you can't really get power. Even now that Lan Shixun is dead, you have taken refuge in the Dongfang Sect Master, but in fact, when Jinling breaks the city, the new owner of the Holy Domain is also Dongfang Su, and it is definitely not you. You're just a puppet in name only, is your purpose just to be a puppet emperor? or ......?"

"You're right this time!" Before Yulou's words fell, Yan Zheng suddenly sneered, "I just want to get the throne of the emperor, even if it is a puppet emperor in name only, at least it is the emperor!" It's better than being an insignificant King of the Holy West......" When Yan Zheng's words came here, his words actually became a little sad, "When the Yan clan royal family arrives in our generation, there are five people who are qualified to inherit the throne, the eldest Yanyi, the second Yanlie, the third Yanchong, the fourth Yanzheng and the fifth Yanhao, hehe... ... Whether it is intelligence or Wen Taowu strategy, I Yanzheng is the best one among the five, and I have worked harder and more diligently than the four of them since I was a child. I studied hard at the same time, but while the other four were enjoying themselves, I was the only one who studied hard behind closed doors in my room. At that time, the emperor had tested the five of us countless times, and I won the first place among the five brothers countless times, the way of the monarch and the minister, the method of commanding the army, the art of controlling people, the strategy of holding power, the governance of business, agriculture, law, and society...... I am the most preferred successor of the emperor, and the position of the emperor should belong to me...... But it was because I was too ignorant at that time, and I always took the initiative to solve problems for the elderly emperor, so I went to the western Xinjiang to rectify the border guard mansion when the emperor was critically ill, so that the scheming Yan Chong had a chance to take advantage of it, and he tampered with the will before the emperor's sickbed, and he inherited the throne of the emperor, and he didn't even give me the opportunity to return to Jinling City, so he directly named me the king of Shengxi, and sent me to Xijun, which is far away from the imperial city, and lived for decades...... The Holy King has not received the emperor's order, cannot ask for politics, cannot garrison troops, cannot control wealth, and spends decades at home all day long, this is the benefit that Yan Chong has given me...... He used despicable means to rob everything that should have belonged to me, and now I just want to get back what belongs to me, why should I be wrong?"

Yan Zheng's old eyes couldn't help but glow with bitter tears, and the anger on his face slowly turned into helplessness and sadness with his words. And with his words, the atmosphere in the room became a little depressed again, and everyone listened silently to the secret history of the imperial court that happened decades ago told by Yan Zheng, and different feelings also emerged in different people's hearts. And Yan Chong couldn't help but reddened his eyes slightly after hearing Yan Zheng's heartfelt words, and a trace of sadness appeared on his wrinkled face.

"Yan Zheng, this emperor did not tamper with the will of the previous emperor!" Yan Chong calmed down his heart for a while, and then slowly opened his mouth and said, "At that time, you were indeed the heir of the first emperor, but later, as you did more and more, the first emperor found that your methods of doing things were always too ruthless and vicious, and you always didn't like to leave a way back for yourself and others, ruthlessness under your subordinates is a taboo for the emperor, you are kind on the surface but actually vicious in your heart, you can treat thousands of lives as if you were a mustard in order to achieve your own goals, and lack a benevolent heart." It is precisely because of these that the emperor finally decided to let this emperor inherit the throne, instead of choosing you!"

"Hmph! Becoming a king or defeating a king, of course you can talk nonsense when the matter has come to this point!" Yan Zheng looked disdainful and said with a sneer, "What you did before the former emperor's sickbed, only you know in your heart!"

"You don't know how to repent when you die, you are really stubborn!" Yan Chong seemed to be a little irritated by Yan Zheng, only to see that he shouted in a deep voice, "Yan Zheng, you intend to rebel, it is really a heinous crime to disturb the peace of the Holy Domain, and this emperor will not be able to forgive you this time!"

"Hmph, I am a relative of the royal family, and I am not subject to capital crimes!" Yan Zheng roared in a hoarse voice, "If you have to be punished according to the crime, then rebellion should be a big crime for the Nine Clans, why don't you kill all the Yan Clan?"

"You ......" Hearing Yan Zheng's words, Yan Chong couldn't help but stare at him, and shouted angrily, "Yan Zheng, you are too presumptuous! And all the people in the palace of the Holy West are also on death row!"

"Yan Chong, I don't accept it...... I'm not convinced...... Lu Yifan, have you ever remembered that this king was kind to you, you promised to pay it back in the future, and now this king wants you to repay my kindness......"

In a burst of Yan Zheng's roar, Yin Mo had already led people to rush in and dragged the dying Yan Zheng out, and looking at Yan Zheng, who was still full of confidence and infinite scenery when he just entered the door, he turned into barking like a lost dog at this moment, Lu Yifan's heart suddenly felt an indescribable depression, yesterday the prince was imprisoned today, he has seen such things more than once, but today's Yan Zheng still made his heart set off a huge wave again.

"Sect Master Lu!" After the chaos in the room subsided, Yan Chongfang slowly turned his head and looked at Lu Yifan with a wry smile on his face, and said lightly, "Now that there are scum in the imperial family, it makes you laugh!"

"What does Your Majesty plan to do with King Shengxi?" Lu Yifan nodded casually, and then said, "The people of the royal family are not subject to capital crimes, so does Your Majesty want to keep him in prison for the rest of his life?"

"What? you want to intercede for him?" Yan Chong raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with a smirk. As soon as Yan Chong's words came out, Han Xiao's expression immediately became a little nervous, and he looked at Lu Yifan with blank eyes, for fear that Lu Yifan would accidentally say something wrong.

In response to Yan Chong's questioning, Lu Yifan suddenly asked, "If so, what will happen to Your Majesty?"

"If it were you Lu Yifan who interceded for him, maybe the emperor would really consider letting him go!" Yan Yi replied lightly, his eyes were always fixed on Lu Yifan and he didn't leave for half a minute, "What about you?"

In the face of Yan Chong's repeated inquiries, Lu Yifan was silent for a moment, then he smiled bitterly and slowly shook his head: "He is kind to me, but he also has enmity with me, and enmity cannot be offset, but I don't want to get involved too much in this matter, as for what Yan Zheng's crime should be, let it be dealt with by His Majesty!"

"Okay!" Yan Chong agreed with satisfaction, and after glancing at Han Xiao, he nodded with satisfaction at Lu Yifan again, and then turned around and walked away.

At this moment, the storm outside the room had gradually stopped, and the dark clouds in the night sky had dispersed, and half a bright moon and stars were gradually revealed.

"The storm seems to have passed!" Yulou followed the steps of Linghuang and Han Xiao to leave and walked straight to the outside of the room, standing under the sky after the rainstorm with open arms, feeling the freshness of the air and the fragrance of the earth at the moment, and couldn't help but smile softly, "Fortunately, Yan Zheng just looked for you, not for anyone else!"

Looking at the thin back of Yulou, Lu Yifan nodded slightly, but at this moment, in his eyes looking at Yulou, he couldn't help but reveal a touch of profound light.

It seems that Lu Yifan is secretly speculating about something!

......
