Chapter 434, Use the Tricks of the Trade
So, after hearing that the negotiation between the Lord of Donglin and the Devil God had broken down, Duke Yan took a different approach and looked for ancient books about the Devil God.
When the people of Hezhou wanted to abandon the infant tower, he donated money to Mr. Qiao, and then summoned the soul of Gu Ming to cultivate here for ten years.
He wanted Gu Ming to help him!
Help him kill the people of Donglin, and kill the Lord of Donglin who ordered the murder of his wife and children!
After hearing all this, the Queen Mother finally couldn't help but shed tears, "Twenty years ago, you knew that the murderer was the people of Donglin, but you didn't tell me that they killed your wife and daughter. You did it for..."
She suddenly guessed Duke Yan's difficulties.
Duke Yan raised his lips and smiled, which was uglier than crying. "What can I do if I say it? At that time, Daxia was not as prosperous as Donglin. Donglin offended us repeatedly, but Daxia had no way to pursue it. The person I want to kill is too high-ranking, so I can only think of a way myself."
Twenty years ago, the Ninth Prince was only a few years old.
At that time, Daxia had been coveted for a long time because of its large territory. If the late emperor did not have the current empress dowager to assist him, he would have fallen into the trap long ago. It was only after
the late emperor abdicated that the empress dowager helped the emperor to the throne and then secretly interfered in government affairs, so that the government was able to prosper.
Before the late emperor died, he gave the military power to the Ninth Prince.
Many years later, Donglin sent troops to invade the border of Daxia. The Queen Mother did not hesitate to let the Ninth Prince go to fight directly, saying that if he could not defeat the Donglin people, he should not come back.
Sure enough, Xia Siheng was brave and defeated Donglin step by step, and they never dared to be arrogant again!
The Ninth Prince also became famous in one battle and returned to Daxia.
Perhaps it was this battle that made the Ninth Prince miss Liu Wan.
Duke Yan looked at the family of three, tears in his eyes, full of envy.
"I know that what I said is of no use. I have raised assassins for the Donglin people, and my crime is unforgivable. I only ask the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to spare my life for the sake of my family members who died for the country, at least until next month."
Next month, the King of Donglin will come to Beijing.
He can't miss this opportunity for revenge no matter what.
"This is a matter of two countries. I won't let you kill the King of Donglin in Daxia. Let's discuss this matter later." The Queen Mother sighed, but couldn't let out the sigh in her heart.
What should I do? I'm really angry.
Even if I let Lao Jiu beat them up, even if I let the emperor smash the gifts sent by the Donglin people.
She is still very angry.
Donglin had planted so many assassins and elites in Daxia earlier, and they have not been completely removed until now!
Now that she knows what happened to Duke Yan's wife and children, the Queen Mother is even more angry. The late
emperor was a waste. When he was instigating him to send troops, he was always worried about this and that.
It's better for him to take charge of the government and do whatever he wants.
She wants to do it now, too!
But if the other party dies on her own territory, Daxia will not only be in vain, but will also be criticized by other countries.
She can ignore these, but the current emperor has a long way to go in the future, and she can't protect the emperor all his life.
"Stupid Duke Yan."
Seeing that Duke Yan lowered his head with an ugly face, Xia Wanwan cursed, "So stupid, the Empress Dowager said not to let him die in Daxia, but not to let him die outside Daxia."
In short, no matter where he dies, he must not die in Daxia.
Duke Yan was touched by this and suddenly looked up at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother said: "The old man, Lord Donglin, came to the capital in the name of birthday celebrations. He not only wanted to incite the ninth prince to rebel, but also wanted to work with his assassins to gain something."
"I need to have a good discussion with the ninth prince." The
Queen Mother tapped the table with her fingertips, and her elegant face was full of thought and seriousness.
If only Wanwan was older.
Let the father and daughter go to the battlefield and beat the people of Donglin.
It's a pity that the little guy is too young.
"Mother, although Duke Yan has his own difficulties, in my opinion, he must be charged with a crime." The emperor sat beside the Queen Mother and spoke silently.
He must be punished. Duke Yan was summoned to the palace for no reason, and the people of Donglin must have been watching him. If Duke Yan goes back safely, he will be suspected by the people of Donglin.
"Isn't it enough to put him to death for the crime of raising assassins for the people of Donglin?"
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows. Duke Yan sighed, and for a moment he couldn't figure out the attitudes of these people.
Do they want him to die, or not?
Do they want him to take revenge, or not?
In the end, he was guilty of treason, and he would just take it no matter what.
He lowered his head silently.
"What do you mean by raising assassins for the people of Donglin? It's obvious that Duke Yan used the people of Donglin to raise assassins for Daxia!" Xia Wanwan stood up, patted his chest and said crisply.
The Queen Mother: Good idea!
Xia Siheng: The baby is amazing!
The Emperor: You are worthy of it.
Liu Wan: Wow, it's my baby!
Duke Yan knelt on the ground, bent his knees, and knelt in front of Xia Wanwan.
"Wanjie, you! Are! My! God!"
No wonder Lord Gu wanted to be her younger brother.
If Wanjie was born twenty years earlier, he would also be willing to work for her wholeheartedly!
Xia Wanwan's words directly opened up new ideas for everyone.
In the end, the Emperor first imprisoned Duke Yan for a month on the grounds of kidnapping the princess, and when the time came, he said that the Dali Temple would investigate the case and then release Duke Yan.
At that time, the events before and after Xia Wanwan entered Phoenix Mountain were also perfectly connected in this case.
When the time comes, Duke Yan is released from prison. He was wrongly imprisoned by Daxia, and the grievance and unwillingness after being released from prison also make it easy for the Lord of Donglin to reach out and pull Duke Yan.
The main point is to turn the tables!

Duke Yan's Mansion.
The mission assigned to the death squad was still in progress.
Wan Qu and Qian Ye rushed into Gu Ming's yard and searched around but found no one in the house.
When they left the house, they saw an ordinary servant cleaning the toilet outside the yard.
While brushing the toilet, the servant muttered, "Damn it, I just asked if the Duke's Mansion had a toilet brush, and he brought me all the toilets in the mansion in a blink of an eye. I am really convinced. My hands are also lousy. After getting used to brushing, I can't stand seeing a dirty toilet in front of me. It's disgusting!"
Qianye stood there, looked at Wan Qu, and asked in confusion, "There are no distinguished guests in the room. Who are we going to kill?"
The person they wanted to kill was a man named Lord Gu, who crushed Sister Yu's hand bones.
Wan Qu shook his head, "Why not catch someone and ask him."
The couple looked at the servant who was brushing the toilet.
It was ordinary, very ordinary, and looked a little dirty.
He must be here to serve Lord Gu.
He must know where Lord Gu is.
Wan Qu took off his mask, came behind Gu Ming and patted him on the shoulder.
"Hey, brother."
Gu Ming threw away the toilet in his hand with a curse. He was frightened and jumped up to curse, "What are you doing? Is there another toilet that you haven't finished cleaning?"
Wan Qu waved his hands hurriedly, "No, we are here to find your master."
"My master?" Gu Ming looked at them in confusion.
He thought, what do they want to do with Sister Wan?
Wan Qu nodded, "Yes, brother, do you know where Lord Gu is now?"
