Chapter 290: Deserted by Friends and Family
Although Lin Xiaoyue really wanted to say hello to Liang Jingyao before leaving, the war was urgent, so she had to leave with Wang Fugui first.
"Manager Wang, where are we going now? The Queen Mother fainted from fright. We need a safe place for a military doctor to see her." Lin Xiaoyue said as they walked.
Wang Fugui replied, "Our master has a hidden courtyard in the capital. It's guarded by guards and no one has ever been inside. Let's go there."
When Lin Xiaoyue heard that Wang Fugui didn't mention Jueweilou, she felt a bad feeling in her mind and quickly asked, "What about Jueweilou? Is everything okay?"
Wang Fugui's mood plummeted, and he said sadly, "Jueweilou is gone! Emperor Liang somehow figured out that Jueweilou belonged to his master, so he sent people to empty the valuables from Jueweilou. Whatever couldn't be moved was smashed to pieces, even the Jueweilou sign was smashed to pieces!"
Every hair on Lin Xiaoyue's body stood up, and she was in a very bad mood at the moment! Jueweilou was such a good restaurant, whether it was in terms of dishes or store decoration, it was first-class. Why did Emperor Liang destroy Jueweilou!
"Does Brother Liang know about this?"
Wang Fugui nodded and said, "I first talked to my master about this, and then I came to you, so it took some time."
Lin Xiaoyue couldn't calm down the fire of anger in her heart. She waved her hands and said, "It's okay. Wait until Brother Liang breaks into the palace and settle all the old and new accounts with the damn emperor!"
On the other side, Liang Jingyao and Prince Rong had already reached the gate of the imperial palace.
"Father, we are back here again!" Liang Jingyao said excitedly as he looked at the tall palace gate.
Prince Rong was no less excited than Liang Jingyao. Many times in the middle of the night, he woke up in dreams, thinking of how many relatives he had lost during the days of displacement, and he wished he could cut Emperor Liang into pieces immediately!
"Yes, we are back! We will not leave this time! Today is the day for my Tiger Roar Army to achieve great things. Let's charge!" Prince Rong said firmly.
Liang Jingyao, determined to win, raised his sword and shouted, "Charge! Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed!"
The Tiger Roar Army was infected by the momentum of Liang Jingyao and Prince Rong, and their emotions reached a peak. They waved their weapons and shouted, "We must win! We must win! We must win!"
Luan Xiao, who was guarding the city gate, jumped out first and shouted sternly, "You daring traitors! The Imperial Palace is not a place you can just come and go as you please. If you have any sense, there's still time to surrender now. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Liang Jingyao sneered. This Luan Xiao was just okay, but the Yan Ming behind him was a complete idiot. Yan Ming was able to become a general only because of his family's protection, because the Yan family was also one of Emperor Liang's running dogs!
Since they are all rushing here to die, let’s give them a ride today!
"Let me see how powerful you are!" Liang Jingyao raised his sword and attacked directly.
When the sword in Luan Xiao's hand collided with Liang Jingyao's sword, Luan Xiao regretted it!
Luan Xiao thought that Liang Jingyao had been wandering around outside, not even able to take care of food and drink, and his martial arts must have been neglected. Unexpectedly, after so many years, Liang Jingyao's martial arts not only had not been neglected, but had become even more powerful!
But when the time came, Luan Xiao had no way out. He could only grit his teeth and persevere, just in case there was a glimmer of hope!
However, Liang Jingyao was already confident of victory today. Not only was he a martial arts master, but even the two thousand Tiger Roar Army soldiers behind him were good at fighting. Any one of them was better at martial arts than Luan Xiao. Luan Xiao and the soldiers who were still resisting behind him were destined to not see the sun tomorrow!
"Go to hell!" Liang Jingyao didn't want to waste time. The sword flashed and Luan Xiao's head fell to the ground.
Next, Liang Jingyao pointed his sword at Yan Ming, who was hiding in the corner. "Now it's your turn, Yan Ming! You're a dignified general, and the other soldiers are still fighting for you, but you're hiding! Even Luan Xiao, who just died under my sword, was more courageous than you!"
Yan Ming was so frightened that he was pissing his pants and crying, holding his head and crying, "Please let me go! I will let the Yan family support you, and I will be loyal to you from now on!"
Liang Jingyao suddenly felt a little pity for Emperor Liang. Yan Ming's father, Lan Xiong, was once a guard under Emperor Liang. He was from a family of generals that Emperor Liang had helped to raise. After Lan Xiong's death, Emperor Liang left the position of general to Lan Xiong's only son, Yan Ming. Logically, Yan Ming should have been grateful and sworn allegiance to Emperor Liang until death. Unexpectedly, Yan Ming turned against Emperor Liang so easily!
"Interesting! Then follow me into the palace!" Liang Jingyao carried Yan Ming into the palace as if he was carrying a little chicken.
This was the first time that Liang Jingyao had entered the palace openly since he was driven out of the capital by Emperor Liang.
Standing in the Qinzheng Hall, Liang Jingyao threw Yan Ming to the ground. Looking at the trembling Emperor Liang on the dragon throne, Liang Jingyao said with a smile, "Emperor Liang, we meet again! I have good news and bad news for you. Which one do you want to hear?"
Emperor Liang swallowed his saliva, his eyes fell on Lan Guanlin, and signaled Lan Guanlin to protect him closely.
"Stop talking nonsense! I don't want to hear anything! If you know what's good for you, go back to the northern border, otherwise today will be the day you die!" Emperor Liang was so scared that he was obviously out of breath when he spoke.
Liang Jingyao raised his eyebrows, the sword in his hand fell on Yan Ming's neck, and said: "Is that so? But your lackeys, the Yan family, will be loyal to me. Emperor Liang, aren't you sad?"
Only then did Emperor Liang notice Yan Ming, lying feigning death on the floor of the main hall, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Yan Ming! I made you a general against all odds, yet you were the first to betray me! You're truly remarkable!"
Yan Ming felt extremely miserable. He didn't want to betray Liang Jingyao, but he really couldn't beat him. In order to survive, he couldn't care less!
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I'm the only child in the Yan family. I can't die!" Yan Ming crawled on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
Emperor Liang was so angry that he snatched the sword from Lan Guanlin's hand and stabbed it directly into Yan Ming's chest. "Die! You traitor!"
Yan Ming stared at Emperor Liang with his eyes fixed on him, and fell in a pool of blood with his eyes open.
Liang Jingyao laughed heartily and said, "Emperor Liang, I never thought you'd be deserted by your friends and family one day. Lan Guanlin, your mission is complete. Return to the team!"
Lan Guanlin clasped his fists and replied, "Yes!"
As he spoke, Lan Guanlin took back his sword and stood behind Liang Jingyao.
Emperor Liang couldn't believe his eyes. He had been attacked while on a secret visit to Jiangnan, and it was Lan Guanlin who saved him. He was afraid Lan Guanlin was set up by someone, so he sent someone to investigate. Only after confirming Lan Guanlin's innocent background did he bring him back to the capital for training.
I didn’t expect that even though I was so cautious, I still fell into Liang Jingyao’s trap!
"Liang Jingyao, you are really good at this! Who else around me is yours?"
