Chapter 120 Prelude to Breakup



In the distance, Long Yi put down the small crossbow in his hand. He originally wanted to kill the old man. But he remembered his master's instructions to wait until someone rescued him before killing him. He had to give him hope and then make him despair!

So, Long Yi simply found a place on the second floor of a teahouse, where he could see Old Man Jiang's miserable condition, and sat down to wait.

After more than two hours, the people from the Jiang Mansion finally heard the noise and rushed over.

At this time, Old Man Jiang had become like a piece of dried bacon, exposed to the midday sun, but no one came forward to rescue him.

I don't know who started it, but they threw rotten fish, rotten shrimp, rotten eggs, and vegetable leaves at him. It was a horrible sight.

When the chief steward of the Jiang residence saw the miserable condition of Old Man Jiang, he sighed in his heart, thinking that even the gods and demons could not bear to see this!

But he was someone else's servant, so he could only quickly order someone to rescue him.

The onlookers pointed and talked, making the butler feel embarrassed. But he had no choice but to continue saving people.

The servants first took the cloth out of Old Man Jiang's mouth and gave him some water to drink before they started to think of ways to rescue people.

Just as the servants were about to bring Old Man Jiang down, the sound of a sharp arrow breaking through the air was heard.

"Ah!" A scream pierced the sky.

Everyone looked over in surprise and found that a short arrow had pierced Old Man Jiang's legs, and his vitals were a bloody mess. It seemed that he was already disabled.

Old man Jiang screamed in pain and finally fainted.

The housekeeper was shocked and quickly asked the servants to speed up.

But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't pull the sharp arrow out of the wall. Old man Jiang's vitals were fixed to the wall, and it was hanging so high that they couldn't get it down no matter what they did.

The Jiang family's servants didn't know what to do for a moment. They just looked at each other, helpless.

“Why not just cut it directly…” someone whispered!

"That's right, they can't be used anymore, why keep them..."

"What do you know? How could this beast be willing to do that? It says on it that this old man has sex with at least three young girls in one night!"

"Yes, you are a beast. I also play with women, but at most I just go to brothels to play..."

"He is not afraid of the wind..."

"You shouldn't be afraid! Look how tough he is!"

"That's right. He was hung for the whole morning but still didn't die..."

"You are indeed a scourge that has been around for thousands of years, what an old bastard!"

The crowd's curses grew louder and louder.

The housekeeper had no other options. If this continued, he would really die.

The only thing he could do was to ask his servants to kill him with one strike. The place was gone, but the man was finally saved.

"Hurry up and send him to the hospital!" the housekeeper said anxiously. I hope he can still be saved!

Everyone in the Jiang residence quickly carried the old man to the nearest clinic.

The people nearby also rushed forward and followed.

They wanted to see if this old guy would die after being in this state.

Finally, I arrived at the nearest clinic. The door was locked. There was a sign on the door saying "Closed for one day".

The housekeeper had no choice but to have the old man carried to the next house, where he also rested.

In this way, five medical clinics were closed.

The housekeeper was furious, but he didn't dare to do anything, fearing the public outrage. He could only carry the old man home and let the mansion's doctor take a look first. Then he could think of other ways.

The common people watched them enter Jiang's house and cursed for a while, but soon they dispersed.

After watching the whole process, Long Yi felt a little relieved, but it was a pity that he couldn't kill him directly.

He snorted coldly, glanced at the Jiang Mansion, and then quickly went to report to Gu Yanming.

In the past few days, Long Yi accompanied Gu Yanming to several families, using the same method, using hallucinogens to make them tell the story of how the late emperor framed the previous generation and the previous generation King Wucheng, and they also wrote it down with their own hands and signed their names.

After a few days' effort, the matter was thoroughly investigated and the evidence was conclusive.

It turned out that the second emperor of Daliang, before his death, gave the ten-year-old prince to his younger brother, King Wucheng, who was Gu Yanming's grandfather, and made him the regent.

His grandfather originally wanted to hand over the military and political power to the emperor when he turned 18. His grandfather worked very hard and often went out to fight.

The late emperor, who became emperor at the age of ten, was instigated by the then empress dowager and several ministers to become increasingly distrustful of his grandfather, and began assassinating and poisoning him.

All were avoided by my grandfather.

When the late emperor was 18 years old, his grandfather gave up power and the late emperor took over the government. Originally, the matter was supposed to end there. However, failing to kill his grandfather became the late emperor's obsession.

The assassination attempts on my grandfather not only did not decrease, but became more severe. My grandfather endured it all.

But they never expected that they would collude with the Jin people, and when they were fighting with the Jin people, not only did they cut off their food supplies, but they also sold the border defense maps to the Jin people.

In that battle, the Jinjia Army suffered heavy losses. My grandfather died in the battle. My father, who was in his early twenties, was also seriously injured and unconscious. He was protected by the secret guards at all costs before he returned to Yanjing City.

Even so, the late emperor was still worried and sent a royal doctor to guard the palace. Once his father's condition improved, he asked the royal doctor to give his father medicine.

He did not stop until his father became completely insane, but he still monitored every move of the Wucheng Palace.

Gu Yanming was thrown onto the battlefield at a young age, and people wanted him to die on the battlefield, but he was lucky and did not die. Instead, he conquered the Golden Armor Army.

The marriage of King Wucheng had to be approved by the emperor, but he was too old and the emperor kept delaying it on the grounds that there was no suitable noblewoman.

Finally, when Gu Yanming was already in his twenties, he was assigned the legitimate daughter of his trusted minister, Marquis Yongding, as his wife. But at that time, the legitimate daughter was only twelve years old. So he had to wait a few more years.

Until the previous emperor suddenly died and the current emperor succeeded to the throne.

Gu Yanming looked at the files and evidence in his hands, his eyes turned red with anger and veins bulged on the back of his hands.

Long Yi stood aside, quietly, not daring to make a sound.

After waiting for a long time, I finally heard Gu Yanming speak.

"Are our Golden Armored Army heading northwest now?"

Long Yi quickly bowed and replied.

"Master, there are another 5,000 men in the South China Sea who cannot make it back. The defending commander is Zhang Ji!"

Gu Yanming nodded.

"Okay! Let's set off tomorrow and go to the South China Sea."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!" Long Yi bowed and stepped out.

Gu Yanming secretly thought that when all the Golden Armored Army was sent to the northwest, it would be the right time to break off relations with the emperor.

He wanted everyone in the world to know that it was not his Wucheng Palace that was unjust, but his predecessor and the emperor who colluded with the Jin Dynasty and framed loyal officials.

He wanted to make them all infamous for eternity and despised by the world.
