1327 Face, send you out with violence
"Since you know it's a test from the Emperor, why do you still want to fight? You have plenty of ways to get King Luo's men out of the city."
Outside, the atmosphere was tense and tense. The two sides were facing off, and the battle lines were clear. The Nineth Prince and King Luo's men were ready to fight. Inside the house, the Nineth Prince and Wang Jinling were playing chess leisurely, not worried about the situation outside at all.
The Ninth Prince glanced at the chessboard and casually placed a piece: "The Si family army is the emperor's confidant, and I don't want to make the emperor sad."
"The emperor is sad." Young Marshal Si has shown signs of rebellion.
The Ninth Prince said insincerely: "This prince deeply sympathizes."
Wang Jinling couldn't help laughing. He took a look at the chess game that couldn't determine the winner, and threw away the chess piece in his hand: "No more!"
"Go out and take a look." The Ninth Prince casually threw the chess piece onto the board, then stood up and walked out.
If they don't get out now, it will be a question whether King Luo's personal soldiers can leave the city.
The timing was just right. When the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling walked out, they happened to see the Ninth Prince's personal soldiers unilaterally beating Prince Luo's personal soldiers.
The personal soldiers of Prince Luo were considered powerful in the imperial city, but they were far inferior to those of the Ninth Prince's men. All of the men of the Ninth Prince's men had experienced life and death, and had crawled out of many life-and-death battles.
The most important thing is that the personal soldiers around the Ninth Prince are not the original ones. That group of people died at the hands of Si Cheng. These are the confidants secretly transferred by the Ninth Prince.
There was not a trace of blood on the ground, and King Luo's personal soldiers were not lying on the ground wailing, and there were no visible scars on their faces, but King Luo's personal soldiers had no power to fight back.
The Ninth Prince was very satisfied with the performance of his men. They vented their anger, but also knew when to stop. They were very measured. The Ninth Prince watched for a long while before saying, "Stop."
The order from the Ninth Prince came late, and the people of King Luo dared to be angry but not to speak out. As soon as the Ninth Prince appeared, they realized that the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling were existences that could not be ignored.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May you live a thousand years, a thousand years, and a thousand thousand years." The Ninth Prince's men immediately withdrew their attacks. They looked ferocious the previous second, but now they knelt down with a look of fear on their faces.
Seeing how the Ninth Prince's men couldn't pretend to be real, Wang Jinling couldn't help laughing. It was really difficult for these men.
Upon seeing this, Prince Luo's personal soldiers also knelt down reluctantly. The Ninth Prince's status was there. They could yell at the Ninth Prince's subordinates, but they dared not do anything in front of the Ninth Prince. It was only after kneeling that they realized that their whole body was in great pain.
"Do you admit your guilt?" The Ninth Prince asked condescendingly, with no intention of asking anyone to stand up.
The people of Prince Luo kept silent, while the people of the Ninth Prince admitted their mistakes straightforwardly: "We are guilty."
"Since you admit your guilt, go back and accept your punishment. Each of you will be given twenty military sticks." The Ninth Prince said expressionlessly. The guards nodded in agreement and no one dared to say a word.
The people of Prince Luo showed joy on their faces, but they didn't expect that the next second the Ninth Prince said again: "Send Princess Mingwei and her group out of the city first, and then we will punish them later."
"Yes." The Ninth Prince's people responded loudly, but the people of Prince Luo were furious. One impulsive person stood up directly and said, "Ninth Prince, we have traveled all night and are exhausted. We need to rest for three days before we can continue our journey."
"Rest? You are Dongling's elite soldiers and do not need to be compared with those incompetent guards. Only incompetent soldiers need to rest all the time." The Ninth Prince said arrogantly, returning the words that Prince Luo's personal soldiers had said to him.
The faces of the guards of Prince Luo flushed, but they did not refute. They said that the guards of the Ninth Prince were incompetent this morning, but now they were beaten by the guards of the Ninth Prince without any resistance. Doesn't this mean that they are even more incompetent?
The Ninth Prince did not give them a chance to speak, and said righteously that his guards had injured the personal soldiers of Prince Luo.
As an apology, he asked his guards to "escort" Princess Mingwei and her entourage out of the city. He had to see with his own eyes that Princess Mingwei and her entourage left safely.
"Ninth Uncle, Princess Mingwei is not feeling well and it is not suitable for her to travel at the moment. Please allow us to stay for two more days." Prince Luo's personal soldiers were determined not to leave.
If they leave as soon as they come, how will they save their face if the news gets out?
"There are imperial doctors in the imperial city. In order not to delay Princess Mingwei's treatment, you'd better leave the city quickly, lest Princess Mingwei die on the road." The Ninth Uncle had a mocking look on his face, and at the same time ordered his men: "Why are you still standing there? Princess Mingwei is seriously ill and her life is hanging by a thread. If you don't escort Princess Mingwei out of the city and delay Princess Mingwei's treatment, you will be punished."
"I obey your command." The guards of the Ninth Prince received the order and forcibly drove the people out regardless of whether Prince Luo's personal soldiers were willing or not. In order to maintain the last bit of face, Prince Luo's personal soldiers had to grit their teeth and leave.
Watching the group of people leave unwillingly, Wang Jinling looked at the Ninth Uncle thoughtfully: "You want Princess Mingwei's life?"
"I am not so kind as to help others clear away burdens. Whether Princess Mingwei will die of illness is Prince Luo's business. If you want her life, please go ahead. I will not interfere." Princess Mingwei's value is limited. When Prince Luo and the Queen have squeezed out all the value from Princess Mingwei, it will be the end of Princess Mingwei's life.
Princess Mingwei chose the wrong partner. Dongling Ziluo is definitely not a loyal and righteous person, and the Queen would not agree to let Dongling Ziluo marry a foreign princess.
Wang Jinling knew what the Ninth Uncle had not said, so he said nothing. He just looked thoughtfully at the direction where Princess Mingwei left...
Princess Mingwei was half-disciple of the master, and also his junior sister, but this junior sister was one of the murderers who killed her master.
He thought about taking Princess Mingwei's life, but now it seems that he doesn't need to do it.
Wang Jinling returned to the courtyard. Uncle Zhan was waiting for him in the study. When he saw Wang Jinling, he asked hurriedly as if he had seen a savior: "Jinling, was the person who dug out Zhan Yan's background Prince Jinfan of Nanling?"
"How did uncle know that?" As soon as Wang Jinling heard it, he knew that it was the Ninth Uncle who leaked the information intentionally, otherwise, with the ability of the Zhan family, it would be impossible to find out so quickly.
Ninth uncle, you are so insidious that you actually want to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
"So it's true. Why? My Zhan family has never been involved in the struggle for imperial power. His downfall is his own fault. It has nothing to do with my Zhan family anymore. Why did Nanling Jinfan do this?" The uncle of the Zhan family looked shocked and staggered back.
Of course, it was to frame the Ninth Prince.
Wang Jinling couldn't say this, he could only shake his head: "I don't know either. Nanling Jinfan has lost his whereabouts and Nanling is looking for him."
After hearing this, the Zhan family's uncle didn't say much, but said angrily: "Well, Nanling Jinfan, since you are unkind, don't blame my Zhan family for being unjust."
After saying that, he left angrily. Wang Jinling knew that Uncle Zhan would definitely reveal the whereabouts of Nanling Jinfan to Nanling Jinxing. However, in this way, the Zhan family, which had always remained neutral, would inevitably be involved in the imperial power.
Alas... Wang Jinling sighed for the future of the Zhan family. Although it seems that Nanling Jinxing has a sure win now, you will never know who the winner is until the end.
So what if he is the crown prince? Xiling Tianlei is also a crown prince. He had no competitors in Xiling for a time, but in the end, he still ended up with his life or death unknown.
The future of the Zhan family is worrying, but he has tried his best. To the Zhan family, he is an outsider, and he is powerless to change the fate of the Zhan family!
