Chapter 804: Sister-in-law, don’t just stand there and watch, take care of him!
The room was filled with silence. Under the frightening stillness, my heart was filled with countless emotions that were difficult to express.
Xu Yu pressed his forehead and said coldly, "It's not that fast actually."
Long ago, when Old Qi noticed something strange about the old prince, he reminded them that the old prince was about to die.
As for how long it can be delayed, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate.
Even though I was mentally prepared, I still couldn't help but feel abrupt when the day really approached.
Sang Zhixia calmed down and frowned, saying, "Mr. Qi always went with you. Is there really no other way?"
Xu Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Qi said to try his best."
Mr. Qi is a self-confident and capable person who never speaks ambiguously.
If he says it can be cured, then even the King of Hell can't take it away. If he says it can't be cured, then you can only count your fingers and wait for death.
Xu Yu thought of the person he had met not long ago, and said in a complicated tone: "Jiang Yubai knows nothing."
The old prince had only one son, Jiang Yubai, and he spent half his life raising him.
Jiang Yubai usually looks nonchalant as if he doesn't take anything seriously, but his mother who died unjustly and the old prince are his Achilles' heel that he absolutely cannot touch.
If Jiang Yubai knew that Xu Yu was an insider throughout the whole process and helped the old prince conceal the truth, I'm afraid...
Xu Minghui said calmly, "He will fight you to the death."
"Xu Yu, I'm not kidding."
"The young prince really wants to kill you."
Xu Yu was silent for a while, then said coldly with an indescribable irritation, "What can I do?"
The battle ahead is at a critical moment. As the commander-in-chief, Jiang Yubai must not leave the battlefield at this time.
The morale of the army cannot be shaken.
The war cannot be delayed.
Jiang Yubai is the battle flag that the old prince has raised in the Lingnan army. As long as Kyoto is not conquered, Jiang Yubai cannot be withdrawn.
Xu Yu closed his eyes and said, "I don't know how much longer the old prince can hold on, but Lingnan is not peaceful either."
"The best news at the moment is that Jiang Yubai holds the military power in his hands, and he can command the army at will. Even if the rear is lost and problems arise, at least his position in the army will not be shaken."
"if……"
"Where is the if you mentioned?"
Xu Minghui interrupted Xu Yu with a dark face, squeezing out the words through his teeth: "Can you change your habit of not being able to spit out ivory?"
"The old prince is a man of good fortune, and nothing will go wrong. The army will attack Kyoto in no time. There is no possibility of what you say!"
Xu Yu snorted indifferently.
Xu Minghui's mind raced, "With the successive victories on the front lines, the major families within Lingnan Royal City have gradually begun to waver. There were signs of this happening a long time ago."
"The old prince hurriedly recalled you at this time, hoping to use you to intimidate the aristocratic families with force?"
Where there are many people, there is no shortage of calculations.
The old prince was banished to Lingnan after being ennobled, which was tantamount to another kind of exile for a member of the royal family.
There was a difficult period at the beginning.
The fact that many aristocratic families now submit to us is also the result of years of operation.
However, as the possibility of the King of Lingnan ascending the throne increased, signs of something going wrong began to emerge from the aristocratic families.
Xu Minghui had spent the longest time in Lingnan, but after a moment's thought, he decisively said, "The aristocratic families in Lingnan are divided into two groups. One group serves as an official for generations and then becomes a vassal of the royal palace. The other group gains glory by contributing to the royal palace with money."
"These people follow the palace and work hard for only one purpose: glory and wealth."
"But everyone is a hero, and heroes are divided into different levels. The wealth and honor that can be obtained in the future are also divided into different levels. No one is willing to fall behind."
Everyone wants to be the best, but there are only a few people who can be at the top.
Recently, all parties in the royal city have been thinking about their future interests.
But the old prince didn't want these people to get what they wanted.
Xu Yu nodded, agreeing that what Xu Minghui said was correct. He closed his eyes and said, "The old prince said that it is a taboo for a monarch to be hindered by aristocratic families."
"If these people with their own ulterior motives succeed, the young prince will spend the first twenty years of his reign protecting the country and restoring order. The next thirty years, and even the next generation, will be constantly threatened by the increasingly powerful aristocratic families."
"I don't want to keep this hidden danger."
To put it more bluntly, the old prince only wants to give away wealth and has no intention of giving up any real power.
But those who have finally seized the opportunity will not be willing.
The collision of the two is bound to lead to conflict.
This kind of conflict can only be resolved with blood and human lives.
Xu Minghui was so angry that he laughed: "The old prince wants to be a far-sighted and loving father, and wants to clear all obstacles for his son in the next fifty years, so he uses you as a knife?"
"How much jealousy does this entail? Anyone with a brain would know to avoid it, yet you rushed back eagerly. Are you afraid you haven't been cursed enough? Or do you honestly think your life is too long?"
Looking at the silent Xu Yu, Xu Minghui was furious and gritted his teeth: "Xu Yu!"
"People who are used as grindstones never have a good ending!"
"If you do something like this, not only will outsiders have nothing good to say about you, but you won't even be able to gain favor from the young prince. Everyone wants to kill you, and everyone hopes that you die a miserable death. What on earth are you trying to achieve?!"
"Did you damage your brain during the battle, or are you really that badly injured and can't be cured?!"
"Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
Xu Minghui was so angry that he lost all control. He grabbed the fruit in his arms and threw it at Xu Yu: "You are not allowed to agree to this!"
"I don't care what you think. Didn't you come back under the pretext of recuperating from your injuries? From today on, stay indoors and don't see any guests!"
"No matter who comes, you are not allowed to see them! If anyone asks, just say you are seriously injured and will die soon. I don't want anyone to dare to come to you to do anything!"
Xu Yu grabbed the fruit that was thrown towards his face with his backhand, rubbed it casually in his hands without any disgust, and opened his mouth to bite it.
Xu Minghui looked at his bulging cheeks, his veins bulging with anger: "Are you so proud of gambling away the future you risked your life for?"
"Do you really not want that life anymore?"
"Xu Yu, stop giving me that frivolous smile! Sit up straight and talk properly!"
Xu Yu lifted his eyelids helplessly and said tiredly, "Isn't this what I'm listening to you?"
"Of course, Second Master Xu. My voice hasn't improved in a while, and this shouting makes my head hurt. You..."
"Shut up!"
Xu Minghui was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, with his fur standing on end.
Xu Yu tried to interrupt several times but to no avail. He took another bite of the fruit with a dull face and chewed it numbly.
The more Xu Minghui looked at it, the angrier he became. He snatched the fruit from Xu Yu and said, "Eat, eat, eat!"
"Where did you get the nerve to eat with your mouth wide open?!"
"No more eating!"
Xu Yu looked at his empty hands and was speechless again. Xu Minghui looked at Sang Zhixia with red eyes as if he was grasping at the last straw and said, "Sister-in-law!"
"Sister-in-law, don't just stand there and watch. Take care of him!"
"This is going to cause chaos, sister-in-law, and you still don't care?!"
Sang Zhixia, who was dragged into the battle without any warning, said: "..."
Sang Zhixia pondered for a moment, then said weakly amid Xu Minghui's outburst of anger, "Speaking of which, how do you want me to discipline you?"
"or……"
"Can you offer me some friendly advice?"
