Hearing that, Chen Lang's heart was moved. Chen Lang had been in this world for such a long time, he knew that in this ancient world, not everyone could wear yellow clothes. Yellow, that was the color exclusive to every family in the emperor, and if ordinary people dared to use it, it would be a heinous crime.
Chen Lang looked at the eunuchs, and said coldly: "You dare to scheme against the prince, I can put you on the spot right now!"
All the eunuchs were frightened out of their wits as they fell to the ground and begged for mercy. One of the eunuchs said anxiously, "General, this really has nothing to do with us!" None of our business! Even if we had a thousand guts, we would never dare to harm the prince! This, this was truly an accident! Furthermore, we are all following orders! "
Chen Lang felt that the matter at hand was not simple, and said to the soldiers: "All of you retreat outside the door." The soldiers were optimistic and backed out of the door.
Chen Lang sat down in front of the eunuchs and asked: "What exactly happened here? Just tell me honestly. If you lie even half a word, you all know what will happen! "
The eunuchs were all subservient, indicating that they would never dare to lie.
Chen Lang pointed to the nearby curtain, and asked: "Is that child Prince Liu Qin or Prince Liu Bian?"
The eunuchs looked at each other, and the leading eunuch said, "Yes, it's Prince Liu Bian."
Although Chen Lang had already expected this, when he heard this, he could not help but be shocked, and frowned: "How dare you! How dare you scheme against the prince!" The eunuchs were in a hurry to defend themselves. It was so noisy that even Chen Lang was unable to hear them. He immediately shouted, "Shut up!" The eunuchs immediately shut their mouths, each and every one of them remaining silent like cicadas in winter.
Chen Lang pointed to the head eunuch who spoke earlier, and said: "Tell me, how did the prince die?" The eunuch hurriedly replied, "This, this was an accident. Not long ago, the prince, who should have been sleeping soundly due to the anesthetic, suddenly woke up and immediately started wailing as he prepared to get off the carriage. Before I could even react, he fell down from the window and his head just happened to be on top of a rock. At this point, the eunuch looked depressed and at a loss.
Chen Lang glanced at the other eunuchs, and seeing that the other eunuchs had similar expressions, and thinking back to when he was on his way here, he saw a large puddle of blood on a large limestone. He knew what the eunuch said was true and did not lie.
Chen Lang glanced at the eunuchs and said, "You guys sure are bold to actually dare to plunder the prince."
The eunuch hurriedly replied, "No, it's not like that. We, we are only following, following the orders of the Empress He. "
Chen Lang could not help but be surprised, and asked puzzledly: "Why did Empress He send you to kidnap her own son?"
The eunuch hesitated for a moment. If he saw that he had not honestly explained his current situation, he was afraid that he would lose his life. He could only reveal it and say, "Actually, this is the Empress's plan. "The Empress wanted to make a move against the Royal Beauty and Prince Liu Ben, but if she were to do so directly, the Emperor would definitely suspect her. Thus, he sent us to abduct both Prince Liu Bian and Prince Liu Ben.
Chen Lang understood and laughed coldly: "What a good plan. Royal Beauty and Prince Liu Ben are both dead, and she won't be suspicious at all." The eunuch nodded.
Chen Lang asked: "Then where are the Royal Beauty and Prince Liu Tong now?"
The eunuch hurriedly replied, "About that, I don't know about that. We are only in charge of bringing Prince Liu Bian out. "
Chen Lang asked a few more questions, but the eunuch's answers were not contradictory. It could be seen that what he said was basically the truth.
The eunuch trembled with fear as he asked, "General, I have already answered the general's question, is it, is it …?"
Chen Lang looked at him, and thought: The prince is already dead, if I let go of these eunuchs, I'm afraid they will push the blame onto me in front of Empress He. Since things had come to this, he could only let down these few fellows.
Thinking about that, Chen Lang took out his blade. When the eunuchs saw this, they were greatly alarmed, immediately kowtowing and begging for mercy. Chen Lang could not help but frown. Although he was ruthless, he could not kill these fellows who had no way of resisting.
Chen Lang raised his voice and called out: "Men!" The soldiers guarding the door rushed in, clasping their hands together, "What orders do you have for us, General?"
Chen Lang pointed at the eunuchs and said, "Drag these fellows away and chop them off!" When the eunuchs heard this, they were frightened out of their wits. They kowtowed and begged for mercy, but they were dragged down by the wolf-like soldiers as if they were dead pigs. Immediately after, the screams of the eunuchs fell into silence, as eight soldiers brought their heads before Chen Lang. Chen Lang frowned, and said: "Find a carriage, and bring these corpses along!" The soldiers agreed and dragged the corpse away.
Chen Lang could not help but sigh when he thought of the child who had died in vain due to his mother's ambition. He walked behind the curtain and squatted down. At that moment, a ray of moonlight came in through the side window, shining on the child's face. When Chen Lang saw the child's face clearly, he could not help but be stunned, and revealed an expression of disbelief. So it turned out that the appearance of this Prince Liu Bian was shockingly similar to the child from the Trichoderma that Chen Lang had saved not long ago. Chen Lang suddenly had an idea, and his heart was thumping with excitement.
Chen Lang took off his battle robe and wrapped it around Liu Bian's body before walking out. He told the soldiers, "Today's matter must not be leaked out!" The soldiers saluted with their fists.
Chen Lang carried Liu Bian's corpse out of the temple, mounted on his horse, and led the soldiers back to the army camp with the corpses of the eunuchs.
Chen Lang came to find Guan Yu, and told him about Liu Bian's matter, and then told him his purpose. Guan Yu was shocked, he cupped his fists and said without hesitation: "As long as Big Brother decides, I will support you fully! This little brother believes that everything that big brother has done is for the life of the world! "
Chen Lang nodded with gratitude, and said: "Hearing you say this, I am very pleased." Then, he handed Liu Bian's corpse over to Guan Yu and instructed: "Burrow this child properly. His clothes and accessories must be left behind. " Guan Yu nodded his head, and carried Liu Bian's corpse out.
Chen Lang sat down and thought, then ordered someone to call for Trichoderma. When Trichoderma came to the tent and saw Chen Lang, her delicate face flushed red and her eyes rippled with love. Originally, when Trichoderma heard that generals were called out late into the night, she couldn't help but have a few thoughts in her mind, she felt that if she and the general could work together and fly together to become his concubine, then her life would not have been lived in vain.
Chen Lang said: "I called you here because I have something to tell you."
The Trichoderma saw that Chen Lang was speaking with such seriousness, and secretly scolded: "General, it's true, you actually want me to be so serious! I wonder if you'll still look like this when you put me to bed? '
Chen Lang naturally did not think about the dirty thoughts in the Trichoderma's heart as he continued to speak, "If I can make your child a prince, what do you think?"
Trichoderma was startled, she thought she misheard and asked: "The general said he wants my son to be a prince?" Chen Lang nodded.
Trichoderma's face suddenly paled as she asked in fear: "General, you, could it be that you want to rebel?"
Chen Lang laughed and waved his hand, "You misunderstand. It's like this. Today, there was a disturbance in the Luoyang, and thieves robbed the Empress He's Prince Liu Bian. When I rushed over, Prince Liu Bian was already dead. However, I realized that Prince Liu Bian's appearance was exactly the same as that kid, Chong Wu. We can totally let that kid Chong Wu take over the position of Prince of Liu Bian. From now on, that kid, Chong Wu, could become a prince in the Darkhan Empire. "What do you think?"
The Trichoderma finally understood. She was frightened and excited at the same time. To be able to make her child become a prince, she might be able to experience the feeling of being the sovereign of the empress dowager in the future. However, if this matter were to be exposed, wouldn't she and Chong Wu be smashed into smithereens? Trichoderma was both yearning and afraid, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Chen Lang took the Trichoderma's expression in his eyes and said: "You don't have to worry, I'll cover this matter with my protection, and Chong Wu is the same as Prince Liu Bian, there won't be any mishaps."
Trichoderma could not help but be moved, and said: "Since, since General thinks it is feasible, then let's do it according to General's idea." She then knelt on the ground, kowtowing as she said, "I will definitely repay the general's kindness in the future."
Seeing that the Trichoderma had agreed, Chen Lang could not help but be happy. He walked up to Trichoderma and supported him up as he warned, "From now on, Chong Wu no longer exists. Only Prince Liu Bian is left." Trichoderma nodded. Then, he remembered something and asked with concern, "Then, what about me? Wouldn't I have to separate from Chong Wu now? "
Chen Lang nodded, "It must be so for the time being." The Trichoderma was displeased.
Seeing that, Chen Lang said sternly: "Do you know how to obtain wealth so easily! This temporary difference was the price he had to pay! This is very important, otherwise, you and your mother would have met an irreparable calamity! "
Trichoderma's heart trembled, and nodded.
Chen Lang smiled and said, "When Liu Bian inherits the throne, it will be very easy for him to find a person who will recognize you as his foster mother and bestow you the title of empress dowager." Trichoderma could not help but look forward to it as her face revealed a smile.
Chen Lang said: "Quickly go and report to Chong Wu, then I will bring him into the Luoyang." Trichoderma nodded and quickly went down.
Chen Lang was waiting inside the pavilion. Guan Yu returned and said: "Big brother, everything is done." Then, he placed Liu Bian's clothes and accessories on the table in front of Chen Lang. Chen Lang looked at these things, and could not help but sigh.
Just then, Trichoderma came over with his son Li Chongwu. She pulled Li Chongwu down to her knees and kowtowed three times, and then Trichoderma said: "General, I have already explained everything to my child."
Chen Lang looked at Li Chongwu and asked: "What's your name now?"
Li Chongwu said loudly, "My name is Liu Bian, I am the current prince, the child of the Empress He, and my uncle is the great general He Jin."
Chen Lang nodded, and said: "Very good, you are Liu Bian. After arriving at the Imperial Palace, one must speak less and observe more. As for etiquette, with the help of the palace maids, there is no need to worry. " "Yes, I have."
Chen Lang pointed to the clothes and accessories on the table and said: "Change into these." Liu Bian immediately followed along, and very quickly, a prince filled with wealth appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Chen Lang smiled and nodded, then stood up: "Alright, it's time to return to the Imperial Palace." He turned to Guan Yu and said, "Senior Yun, gather all your Big Knife Camp s." Guan Yu cupped her fists and replied, then ran down the stairs.
