Chapter 224 - Mystery of the current Regent of the Emperor
As for Feng Wuyou's group, after snatching Murong Shaoxuan's chess, they rushed out of the chess room, shocked by the large group of young ladies surrounding the chess room. Everyone saw Feng Wuyou running out from the chess room, and then followed by the chess board's owner's "Young Master Wuyou is out!" Everyone covered their faces and screamed as they held their handkerchiefs in hand!
The scene was extremely popular, it was not any less than the scene where a modern brand star reality show was filming. Feng Wuyou was stunned, the chess boxes in her arms became completely dumbstruck, and following that, countless flowers and fresh fruits were thrown at her.
Feng Wuyou was so scared that her face turned white, this … This … Was this the legendary "throwing a car full of fruits"?
While he was thinking, he dodged the flowers and fruits that came flying at him and ran to his horse. He jumped on his horse and started to ride it.
Although being treated like a pretty boy by so many girls was something to be proud of, it hurt to have so many fruits on your body!
Following Feng Wuyou's departure, the girls at the scene all fell into a state of obsession with their idol. Many of them spontaneously followed Feng Wuyou's horse as they ran after him.
When Hua Yurong and the others came out, they saw Feng Wuyou being chased by a large group of girls, and even Hua Yurong herself was shocked. He was the most beautiful man in the world, but she had never seen such a fiery scene.
He laughed helplessly, and quickly got on his horse, following Feng Wuyou's footsteps.
Very soon, they arrived at the city gate of Fen Yang.
After leaving, they would be leaving the borders of the Southern Qi, and would have arrived at a town under the jurisdiction of the Zhonghe City.
Upon reaching the city gate, she discovered that the guards there were extremely tight, even people who wanted to go in and out needed to verify their identity. Seeing this, Feng Wuyou heaved a sigh of relief inside, but fortunately her brother came in time and gave her a new identity certificate.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult to pass through the city gates today.
While the group rode on their horses, Lv Luo walked forward and gave their identification tokens to the guards in charge of the city. After a while, they were allowed to go.
… ….
Feng Wuyou and the others left the Fen Yang, and walked for another half a day before finally arriving at the Zhonghe City.
Once he entered the city, Feng Wuyou realized that inside this Zhonghe City, there were many martial artists with blades and swords. All of them looked ferocious, as though they were not to be trifled with. Seeing the doubt in Feng Wuyou's eyes, Hua Yurong rode over to her side and said softly: "These people, are not from the Zhonghe City. They look like they are from the martial arts world.
"What are they doing with the Herba Brassicae?" Feng Wuyou asked somewhat suspiciously.
The corner of Hua Yurong's mouth lifted slightly, a charming smile hooked up on her beautiful face: "Xiao Zhonger, the Herba Brassicae is one of the Four Great Sacred Medicines of the Primordial Era, it is indeed not of much use to ordinary people, but to those who practice the Ancient Divine Arts, it can actually increase their internal energy, thus many people in the martial arts world who dream of becoming an unrivalled hero want it. However, what I am more curious about is that the date when the Herba Brassicae bloomed was actually sealed by the Mo family. However, the person in the dark told you and then told someone else. "
Feng Wuyou thought for a moment, then understood Hua Yurong's meaning: "You're saying, these people were deliberately found by the person who secretly sent me the message, and their goal was to compete with me for the Herba Brassicae s?"
"Yes." Hua Yurong nodded. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a group of people about twenty meters away from him. There were dozens of men in black robes walking in two rows on either side of a black carriage.
And on the carriage in the middle, there was an exquisite lantern with the word "Xuan" written on it. Looking at the aura of the carriage, Feng Wuyou knew that the person in the carriage was not someone to be trifled with.
Looking at the carriage, she whispered, "Little Flower, who is this?" This aura was much stronger than that of everyone on the street!
Was such an awesome person also here to fight with me for the Herba Brassicae?
Hua Yurong looked at the word "Xuan" on the carriage, and smiled slightly. Her charming voice sounded out leisurely: "Didn't you see the word" Xuan "written on the carriage? Only Xuan Wang can have such an aura. "
"Dong Heng's Xuan Wang, one of the Four Young Masters?" Feng Wuyou's heart skipped a beat as she looked at the carriage. When she thought about how she stole Murong Shaoxuan from her before, she promised to look for Xuan Wang for an equal value compensation. As a result, his entire person didn't look good.
Given how strong his popularity was, it was obvious that he wasn't someone who was easy to talk to. If someone were to ask him for a piece of chess, how would he proceed? How about we return that piece of warm jade back to Murong Shaoxuan, then we won't have to provoke that Xuan Wang anymore!
Seeing Feng Wuyou like this, Hua Yurong thought that she was worried about the Herba Brassicae and laughed softly: "Xiao Zhonger, you don't have to worry. This Dong Heng doesn't practice any kind of Ancient Divine Arts, the Herba Brassicae has no meaning to him, he probably won't fight with you for it."
However, since the Herba Brassicae was meaningless to him, what was the purpose of coming to Zhonghe City with Xiao Zhonger?
He couldn't figure it out either!
"Yes, yes." Feng Wuyou nodded.
Could she say that apart from the Herba Brassicae s, she was also worried about chess?
As the two of them spoke, the pair had already arrived in front of the two of them, and the two of them consciously moved their horses aside to give him a path. Only after the group of people passed did Hua Yurong turn her head and look at Feng Wuyou: "Xiao Zhonger, that Zhonghe City's City Lord, is a weird-looking person, with the people outside, it is impossible for them to enter the Palace. If you enter, remember to do whatever you want, there are some problems, it is actually very simple, there is no need to think too much about it."
"What do you mean?" Regarding Hua Yurong's words, Feng Wuyou was a little confused.
"You'll know when the time comes." Hua Yurong slowly spoke out, "Oh right, all of the people outside are here for the Herba Brassicae. Xiao Zhonger, obtaining the Herba Brassicae is the beginning of your danger, do you understand?"
Feng Wuyou immediately understood what Hua Yurong meant and nodded: "I understand."
"It's good that you understand." Hua Yurong said softly: "In front of us is the City Lord's Mansion, later you can bring Mo Xi, Wu Hen and the others in. I have other things to do, I won't go in with you.
With that, Hua Yurong glanced at Feng Wuyou, then rode her horse and disappeared from the main street.
Looking at Hua Yurong's back figure, Feng Wuyou inexplicably felt a sense of sorrow from his body. It was only until Hua Yurong disappeared from her line of sight that she retracted her gaze. At this time, an enormous eagle screeched from the sky, spiralled down, and landed on Wu Hen's shoulder.
Feng Wuyou frowned, and looked at Wu Hen.
Feng Wuyou recognized that eagle. It was Formless that had sent the message to Shezhengwang's Palace.
Right now, he was here because of some news that had been spread around by the Shezhengwang's Palace.
Wu Hen took out a small piece of paper from the eagle's leg. With a single glance, he frowned.
"Wu Hen, what's wrong?" Seeing Wu Hen frown, Feng Wuyou asked curiously.
"It's news from Mo Chen." As Wu Hen spoke, he handed the slip of paper over to Feng Wuyou. Feng Wuyou took a look at it and saw that it read: "The blood glass was once bestowed to the Imperial Consort Li by the Dong Heng Emperor. The Imperial Consort Li is Dong Heng's mother."
It turned out that Mo Chen had gotten clues about the blood glass when he was searching for other drugs. Thinking about the agreement before he left the Shengjing City, that Feng Wuyou would go find the blood glass, was why he sent the news over.
Feng Wuyou looked at the passage and was stunned. She turned her head and looked at Wu Hen, obviously thinking the same thing.
Dong Heng?
It was the man who just passed by!
Thinking about the powerful aura of the black carriage, then thinking about the chess piece that he owed Murong Shaoxuan, and then thinking about the blood glass, Feng Wuyou's entire being became extremely bad.
However, the most important thing right now was to obtain the Herba Brassicae first. Thus, she didn't think too much about it, and led her entourage to the City Lord's Mansion.
Just as he walked to the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, he saw a large group of martial artists. There were people holding blades and people holding swords. They were all guarding the tightly shut door, and there were over a hundred people there.
Those people were originally all talking amongst themselves with their heads lowered, but after seeing Feng Wuyou and the rest, they all turned their heads, and looked at them with cold eyes.
Seeing that, Feng Wuyou nimbly got off the horse, and acted as if she did not see the strange gazes of the people, she calmly looked at Lv Luo, and immediately, Lv Luo walked forward and knocked on the closed door.
After knocking on the door a few times, a servant opened it and looked at Lv Luo. He did not know if it was because Lv Luo's looks were not bad, but he actually opened his mouth and answered Lv Luo's question.
After a long discussion, the attendant finally nodded his head and closed the door.
Only then did Lv Luo run back and speak with Feng Wuyou: "Sir, that servant said that the number of people in the City Lord's Mansion has been too many for the past few days, so the City Lord's Mansion does not accept them. As for us, he needs to report to the butler before she can decide whether or not to let us in."
"Yes." Feng Wuyou nodded.
He then went with the crowd and waited outside the door.
Not long after, the servant from before came again. He opened the door and ran out with large strides, walking in front of Feng Wuyou: "Young Master Wuyou, the butler invites you in!"
When these words came out, it caused the hundred over people who were waiting outside to be stunned. The gaze they used to look at Feng Wuyou was filled with curiosity, was this pretty boy the legendary Young Master Wuyou? What was he doing here?!
"Thank you, little brother, for leading the way!" After Feng Wuyou finished, he led Mo Xi and the others and entered the City Lord's Mansion. At the bottom of her heart, she was somewhat curious, why would a City Lord's Mansion have the final say?
… ….
At that moment, Southern Qi, Bright Moon Hall.
There was a infantry chart in front of Baili Mingyue, and he was in the middle of discussing with the Minister of War, Hong Zhan and the others about how to adjust the structure of the army. A carrier pigeon landed on the window outside the hall. That was Formless Traceless Chance.
Seeing that, Wu Shang knew that it was news, and it was most likely related to Hong Zhong.
He quickly stepped forward and removed the letter from her letter. Then, without batting an eyelid, he quietly brought it to Baili Mingyue's desk. Baili Mingyue slowly opened the letter, and from the expression on his face, it could be seen that he was in a pretty good mood.
However, after not looking at the words for a while, a trace of distress appeared on his beautiful face.
After which, he swept his gaze over Hong Zhan before continuing to read the next part. The more he read, the uglier his expression became.
When the red battle was swept by Baili Mingyue, her heart skipped a beat. Why did she suddenly have a bad premonition?
After reading the letter, the confusion in Baili Mingyue's eyes increased, and the aura around him also became colder.
The minister and others got up and said their goodbyes, "We will take our leave." Then, they all turned around and walked out.
Hong Zhan also followed the footsteps of the crowd and stood up to leave. When he arrived at the entrance of Bright Moon Hall, he turned his head hesitantly to look at Baili Mingyue, only to see that he was still staring at the letter in his hands with a serious expression.
Intuition: That letter must be related to the Red House!
Although he suspected that the letter was related to the Red House, he couldn't possibly ask about it. After glancing at Baili Mingyue, he quickly turned around and left.
A quarter of an hour later, he stood up, took out a tiger talisman made from black jade, and passed it to Wu Shang. "Go, give it to the emperor."
These two hundred thousand soldiers had been allocated to the master during the reign of the late emperor. They symbolized the regent's authority.
However, because of fear of the 200,000 troops and horses in the hands of their master, they did not dare to act rashly. From then on, because of the 200,000 troops and horses, their master became a thorn in the flesh of the Nangong family.
At the moment, how could the lord hand over the two hundred thousand soldiers and horses that symbolized the authority of the king?
Wu Shang's worry for Baili Mingyue was naturally understood as she spoke indifferently: "Go on, this duke should return the two hundred thousand troops and horses that I have in my hands after Yi Chen takes charge of his affairs, but because I wanted to control Nangong Jue, they have always been in my hands. Now that Nangong Jue has been killed by both Hua Yurong and Wu Hen, the rest of the factions have been wiped out as well, the Tiger Tally should be returned to its original owner."
At this point, Baili Mingyue no longer spoke. As long as these 200,000 soldiers and horses were given to Baili Yi Chen, then he would have 70% of the army of the Southern Qi. Only such a large force would be enough to contend with the Red House!
Only by handing over the authority in his hands could he peacefully investigate what Wu Hen had said!
