Chapter 810 "Public Opinion"
A quarter of an hour later, at Prince Kang's Mansion.
When the chaotic sounds in the palace gradually calmed down and only the smell of blood filled the air above Yongding City, nearly a thousand officials surrounding the palace wall tightly grasped the hilts of their swords, and their breathing became extremely rapid.
They didn't know the current situation in the palace, but they knew that Prince Kang Lu Xiangshan's life tablet had been broken.
The murderer should be the same person who assassinated Lu Yuansong before.
"Boss, boss."
Outside the East Palace Gate, a pale-faced young official trembled and said to the man beside him: "I, I, I have to pee urgently."
"Urgent?"
Turning his head to glance at the young officer's trembling legs, the man glared and shouted angrily: "Hold it back!"
"I, I"
The young official was frightened, but then he continued to plead with a sad face and a trembling voice: "Boss, I haven't married yet, and I have old parents at home. I, I can't die!"
"When this man killed the Second Prince, the Imperial Guards didn't dare to stop him, so why should we do this?"
"It's better."
"Shut up!"
A slap hit the young officer's face, and the man growled in anger:
"It's their business if the Imperial Guards don't dare to stop us! It's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks here!"
"This assassin has repeatedly killed families in Yongding City. If we are afraid, what about the millions of people in the city?!"
“But, but.”
Covering his cheeks, the young officer was ashamed and frightened, and seemed to want to say something.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the palace.
The voice was very calm, and the words were concise and to the point.
"I'll give you ten seconds."
"Get out of here, everyone!"
“.”
Get out of here in ten breaths.
There is no doubt that these words could only have come from the mouth of that "thief".
The air around them suddenly became frozen, and more than half of the nearly 1,000 officers subconsciously took a half step back.
No one would not be afraid in this situation.
After all, most people just work in the government to make a living, and no one wants to risk their life.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, many people no longer cared about anything else and turned around and ran away.
The scene outside the mansion became chaotic for a moment, but many people still stood where they were, including the man who had just spoken.
"well"
After taking a look at the young officer who had already run a long way away, he sighed softly, raised his official sword across his chest, and was ready to fight.
Just as he said just now, he felt that since he was wearing this official uniform, he had to do what he should do.
"bring it on!"
His expression became firm, and his eyes were fixed on the door that was slowly opening.
The golden sunlight fell on the man, casting a long shadow.
Then the next moment, countless sword beams surged out from behind the vermilion gate of Prince Kang's Mansion, and the shadow was split into two.
"Sir."
Soon, when Wei Changtian returned to Prince An's Mansion, it was still a quarter of an hour away from the hour he had mentioned before.
Gongsun Yan looked at the copper clock in the corner, then looked at Wei Changtian who had a calm expression in front of him, not knowing what to say.
It was so easy to wipe out Lu Xiangshan's entire family, which undoubtedly showed the huge gap in strength between the two sides.
But you have to know that Lu Xiangshan is not an unknown person, but a prince who has many masters under his command.
But the former still died without any chance of fighting back.
It is said that including those officers who did not escape, all lost their lives in just one encounter.
"Sir, I will find a way to take over Lu Xiangshan's power as soon as possible."
Gongsun Yan lowered his head and whispered, "It's just that your identity is now difficult to hide. This matter."
"No problem."
Waving his hands, Wei Changtian replied nonchalantly: "I didn't plan to hide anymore."
"yes."
Gongsun Yan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What's next?"
"Next is Lu Tingzhen. Go check his whereabouts. Once you are sure, come and tell me."
Wei Changtian raised his teacup and took a sip of tea: "The same goes for Lv Yuanjin and Lv Yuanhong. Check them all."
"I understand."
Gongsun Yan cupped his hands and said, "Then I will go and make the arrangements first."
"Well, go ahead."
Nodding, Wei Changtian no longer looked at Gongsun Yan, but lowered his head and began to look through the information of the remaining three people.
Gongsun Yan kept his head down and backed away to the door before he turned around and pushed it open.
But before he could reach out his hand, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
"master!"
"The eldest prince has just left Longshou Mountain with more than a thousand imperial guards! He is now heading to our mansion!!"
“.”
"Master Chu, Wei Changtian just killed the entire family of Prince Kang. Now we should take people to Prince An's mansion."
On the other side, on a speeding carriage.
While Wei Changtian and Gongsun Yan were wondering if Lv Yuanjin had taken the wrong medicine and dared to come to them, the latter asked Chu Xianping, who was sitting opposite him, with a look of trepidation:
"I wonder what exactly are you going to do, sir?"
“.”
Although he didn't say it directly, the worry in Lu Yuanjin's words was obvious.
Chu Xianping remained calm, and just reminded him coldly: "Your Highness, it's not about what I want to do, but what you want to do."
".Okay, then what should I do?"
"Of course, we are going to warn Gongsun Yan and ask him to withdraw from the fight for the throne."
"quit?"
Lu Yuanjin was stunned when he heard this: "Things have come to this point, how could Gongsun Yan withdraw?!"
"It's his business how he chooses."
Chu Xianping narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Yuanjin: "But Your Highness, you must let everyone know that Gongsun Yan does have this ambition."
“.”
Looking at Chu Xianping blankly, Lu Yuanjin didn't know why the former was "going to such great lengths".
Gongsun Yan wants to fight for the throne. Who doesn't know this? Do I need to force him to say it out loud?
With his mouth open, Lu Yuanjin didn't know what to say for a moment.
Chu Xianping seemed to see his confusion, so he explained calmly: "Your Highness, you know Gongsun Yan is going to rebel, I know Gongsun Yan is going to rebel, but the people of this time don't know."
"And today, you will make his ambitions known to the public."
"His last name is Gongsun, and yours is Lu."
"Who do you think the people of this world will support?"
".I see."
With his eyes slightly widened, Lu Yuanjin finally understood Chu Xianping's intention.
It turned out that in the latter's view, the battle for the throne had nothing to do with anyone else, and the final winner must be one between himself and Gongsun Yan.
Although Gongsun Yan has Wei Changtian's help, he also has a fatal weakness.
That's where he came from.
What Chu Xianping wanted to do was to take advantage of the people's recognition of "bloodline orthodoxy" and stir up a wave of opposition to Gongsun Yan among the people.
Leveraging public opinion Only then did Lu Yuanjin realize what his greatest advantage was.
