When Yu Shengyou's gaze fell on the woman, he also felt an overwhelming chill. His pupils moved slightly, and he saw a man in black clothes with a terrifying scar on his face.
Xiang Minghou was wearing a long black robe, and his whole body exuded a suppressed and dull murderous aura. Sifang Mountain was exactly where he was back then.
They sat by the window and could see the mountain by turning their heads. Ten years later, the mountain that was almost burned down has grown again and has strong vitality. But Xiang Minghou, sitting here, felt like razing it to the ground.
Gu Shuo and Qian Fanji not only survived a near-death experience on the mountain, but also lost the most important people in their hearts here.
The people brought by Xiang Minghou were all the entourage of the general's mansion back then. They knew everything about what happened back then. The eldest lady died in Sifang Mountain that year.
They still remember their master's madness back then.
Everyone sitting here is in a bad mood now, and some people are so blind as to bump into me at this time.
Everyone has something suppressed in their hearts, and at this time, finding someone to fight with is more satisfying than anything else. So when they see someone provoking them, there is cold murderous intent in their eyes.
Yu Shengyou shuddered all over, slowly held the railing with his hands, opened his mouth but didn't dare to say a word.
It's not easy to mess with him. Even though he is the prince of a vassal state, he still feels a little scared when facing such a scene, fearing that the other party will pounce on him...
"There are so many wealthy people in Beili. Luo Wen, go get the money." Ye Qianning stood up and said, "Take the money and let's go."
"yes."
Luo Wen walked over with a sword in hand and a murderous look on his face.
Yu Shengyou subconsciously took a step back, put one hand behind his back and waved to the followers behind him.
The attendants had never seen such a murderous scene, and were so frightened that they had to step sideways onto the stairs and stand in front of their master.
"You... my master is the prince of a vassal state. If you dare..."
Luo Wen took a few steps towards them and extended his hand.
The cold air that blew towards him from the front made him feel as if he was being pressed down, and his upper body unconsciously leaned back a little.
Yu Shengyou took out the gold deposit slips from his pocket and handed them all over without even counting them.
Luo Wen took it and turned away.
The main point is that you give it all and I take it all.
Seeing the other party leave so smoothly, Yu Shengyou couldn't help but feel that it was indeed good to be rich. Looking at their ferocious looks, they still had to bow down for money.
Thinking of this, the feeling of being rich and powerful came to him, and he regained some of his arrogance.
"Miss." Luo Wen handed it over.
Ye Qianning took it in his hand and flipped through it. He saw that they were all gold deposit notes. If converted into silver, this stack would be worth at least tens of millions.
With so much silver in hand, the Jiangbei tribe was indeed as rich as the rumors said.
"Are they all for us?" Ye Qianning waved his hand towards Yu Shengyou, with a hint of disbelief in his words.
Yu Shengyou seemed to have regained his composure when he heard the voice. He stepped up the stairs and laughed proudly: "Of course, as long as you are willing to give it, all this money is yours."
"Thank you for being so generous, we will leave now." Ye Qianning was very straightforward.
Seeing that the other party was so understanding, Yu Shengyou smiled even more. Money can make the world go round, and money is essential when you go out.
Sometimes status is not as useful as money!
"Master, Dad, it's getting late and we should leave." Ye Qianning turned his head and his voice softened.
When she entered Sifang Town, her father, master, and everyone else looked unhappy, including herself, who was in a gloomy mood.
The scenes of those years seemed to have happened just yesterday. She heard with her own ears the royal family's confusing right and wrong, and the Emperor of Beili defending Concubine Yuan like a god. The sound filled her eardrums.
I felt helpless and unable to do anything. Now that she is back, I can do what I couldn't say or do back then.
Mr. Chen stood up without saying anything.
Xiang Minghou kept clenching his fists and his face was very cold.
Gu Shuo and Qian Fanji felt more uncomfortable than anyone else when they saw this place again. They were right here, watching helplessly...
Even though Ye Qianning is still alive, he still can't recover from what he experienced in his heart.
Sifang Mountain became their nightmare and inner demon. Whenever they saw this place in their dreams at midnight, they would go crazy and feel terrified.
Sang Yan came up from downstairs and saw that several people were still sitting there without moving. He couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Chen, has Brother Xiang rested well? If we don't leave now, we won't be able to enter the capital before sunset."
"If you're in a hurry, go first." Xiang Minghou said coldly.
“…”
"Dad, we really should go."
Sifang Mountain is only a few hours away from the capital. Since they are here, the news should have reached them long ago.
Gu Shuo and Qian Fanji withdrew their gaze from the window and stood up without saying a word.
Sang Yan touched his nose and inadvertently glanced at the burly and tyrannical Yu Shengyou beside him. Surprise flashed in his eyes: "Prince Sheng?"
"Third... Third Prince? Why are you here?" Yu Shengyou was also surprised when he saw who it was.
"I should be asking you this question. Why is the Crown Prince in Sifang Town?"
Yu Shengyou then remembered his position and chuckled, "A month ago, the Emperor summoned the four great princes to the capital. Didn't the Third Prince know about this?"
"I went to the border recently and just returned to Beijing. I haven't heard about this yet." The look in Sang Yan's eyes disappeared.
"So that's how it is. Since we've met the Third Prince, I'll treat you today. Let's eat and drink our fill and go to the capital together." Yu Shengyou said generously.
"No, I still have some things to do. I will host a banquet for the prince after we arrive in the capital."
Yu Shengyou also understood: "It's a deal."
Sang Yan nodded, turned around and took a few steps towards the approaching Elder Chen: "Early on, Elder Chen."
"Alas, when you get old you have to obey this." Old Chen was supported by Ye Qianning and walked away: "If it weren't for this girl, my bones would have fallen apart."
Even though he was taken care of meticulously for days on the bus, he couldn't do it anymore because he was old.
If he had gone first, he would not have been able to reach the capital for half a year due to his weak body. He had no choice but to accept his old age.
When Ye Qianning supported Old Chen as he passed by Yu Shengyou, he narrowed his eyes and smiled at him: "Thank you for the gold deposit ticket."
Yu Shengyou already felt something was wrong, and his face twisted when he heard that. He felt extremely uncomfortable and watched them go downstairs.
"Third Prince."
Sang Yan was grabbed by him when he walked past him.
"Is there something wrong, Prince?"
"Who are they?" Yu Shengyou asked.
"Mr. Chen is the dean of Loushan Academy. He came to Beijing to preside over the Loushan Priest Ceremony, which is held every fifteen years."
"Are you going to enter the city today?"
"kindness."
After Yu Shengyou got the confirmation, his expression became even more distorted, even more distorted than if he had eaten shit.
"The car has been waiting for a long time. The prince will talk about it another day. I will go first." Sang Yan bowed.
Yu Shengyou let go of his hand, his face twisted with anger. Damn it, he was actually fooled by them.
He was about to leave, but he still cheated me out of so much money.
"The... prince."
After everyone left, a group of followers followed.
"Get out of here, you two look like sissy girls." Yu Shengyou turned around and kicked one of them.
Seven or eight followers were standing quite closely together. One of them was kicked and fell backwards. The people behind him subconsciously tried to help him, but someone didn't stand firmly and fell to the ground like a pile of Arhats.
This scene made Yu Shengyou laugh out loud.
He was really capable, he kicked down seven or eight people with one kick—!
“Ouch…”
Then came the cry of pain.
Yu Shengyou was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked the people on the ground a few more times: "Get out, all of you, get out of here, what use do I have for you?"
When I think of the guards of those people just now, and then look at my own people, they are cowardly and useless, a bunch of good-for-nothings.
"Prince, why are you so angry?" The old butler walked upstairs.
"Uncle Yu, send all these people back to be sold. I will only keep those with strong martial arts skills around me."
"Prince, you have finally figured it out. These servants are useless except for flattery. The prince has already told you this." Yu Bo was relieved.
"Prince, please spare my life, Prince..."
"Everyone stay."
Yu Shengyou showed no mercy when he made a fool of himself. Thinking of how much money he had been cheated out of, he held his breath and said, "Let's go to the capital."
"Didn't the prince say he wanted to rest in Sifang Town for one night?"
Yu Bo has already arranged the carriage and horses, and he is leaving just after going upstairs?
"Enter the capital now."
Yu Shengyou walked downstairs with gritted teeth. It was obvious that the group of people were trying to cheat him. Although he had a lot of money, he was not a sucker.
Downstairs, Ye Qianning helped Mr. Chen into the carriage.
Xiang Minghou, Gu Shuo, and Qian Fanji mounted their horses, and the horses rode on both sides of the carriage. Du Yi, Luo Wen, Luo Xuan, and dozens of guards rode their horses following behind.
Wherever the group passed, their aura alone was enough to make people retreat, especially when they entered Sifang Town. A heavy, cold, and murderous aura permeated the entire team.
Song Qi was a civil servant and traveled in a carriage. His carriage was at the back, Chen Siqing rode a horse in front of his carriage, and at the back was Lin Hui's carriage.
Along the way, except for staying in the inn, Lin Hui had all three meals a day in the car. With Sang Yan around, Lin Hui was much more honest and just lowered her head when she saw Ye Qianning.
"Set off."
With a sound, the carriage started moving.
Old Chen lifted the curtain and looked at the towering Sifang Mountain. His eyes moved slightly and were a little flushed.
Ye Qianning sat on the other side and also lifted the car door to look. From below, there was no trace of Sifang Mountain left. Looking closely, the towering century-old trees on the second peak were gone.
All I could see was a vast expanse of green. If it weren't for the heavy rain, there wouldn't be a single big tree on Duanfeng Peak.
The heavy rain came at the right time, and the disasters were long-lasting.
Chu Yue did not die in the fire, but her face was disfigured and her body was severely burned, so Dong Yi did not make it public after bringing her back.
She announced Chu Yue's death to the public, but secretly kept her in the palace.
These are what she heard from her father along the way.
Xiang Minghou had never told her about Chu Yue. It was only after she pestered her father that he told her about it.
"Oh." Old Chen sighed and retracted his thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qianning also retracted his gaze and lowered the curtain: "Master, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the city today."
Elder Chen also knew that it would be difficult to enter that gate openly. "Has Zhan Chi sent any news?"
"Well, Dad Zhan is coming to Sifang Town. I asked Du Yi to pass a message to him. He doesn't need to leave the city." Everything will be fine once they enter the capital. They haven't entered the city gate yet. If the Zhan family left the city at this time, they would be taken away by mistake.
Everyone is already in Sifang Town, and becoming a member of the group will only take a few days. They don't need to do anything.
"From the rumors along the way, I can guess what the situation is like on Chenglou Mountain. Now that we are here, there is no need to retreat."
"Disciple thinks so too."
Now that you are here, you will not be charged with a crime and will enter the city under the name of being forgiven.
"Have you found out the identity of the person who committed the assassination the day before yesterday?" asked Old Chen.
"They are people from the capital. As for which family sent them, the result has not yet been determined. Zhan Dad will find out the truth." Ye Qianning and the others had a relatively safe journey.
There are still some people from some sects in the martial arts world who are secretly following them. Since they have not yet obtained the Fengling Horn, these people will not attack them.
There were some minor accidents when they were approaching the capital, and there were several assassinations in succession, all of which were carried out with considerable skill.
But in Dad's hands, it was like cutting vegetables. Except for one survivor, all the other waves of people never returned.
The one who was deliberately let go went towards the capital.
"Too many people in the capital are getting restless, but few are willing to take action. Let Zhan Chi investigate the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Earl's Mansion, and the Eastern Palace."
Mr. Chen hasn't been to Beijing for many years, so he knows a lot about the news in the capital.
Most of the powerful families in the capital, and the officials currently serving in the court, have been taught by Dean Chen, and a few of them have always been in contact with Mr. Chen.
"The Earl's Mansion?" Ye Qianning was puzzled.
The Prime Minister's Mansion has a deep grudge against her and it is possible that they will fight. What happened to Concubine Yuan of Sifang Mountain back then caused Concubine Yuan and her family to end up like that. She and Sang Qi also have a deep hatred for each other.
It is possible that they would resort to violence, but what hatred does the Earl's Mansion have against her?
She had only met the Earl's people once, on the birthday of old Prince Helian, and had no other contact with them.
"The fifth princess married the eldest son of the Earl of Rongchang three years ago. The Earl's Mansion is now on the side of the Crown Prince." Old Taoist Chen.
Ye Qianning suddenly realized: "It seems that they haven't forgotten the hatred from that year. That's great."
If they forget, she will have to work hard to help them recall. It’s best if they haven’t forgotten!
"master."
Du Yi's voice came from outside the car.
"explain."
"A letter just arrived saying that the gates of the capital were suddenly closed for some reason." Du Yida said.
Xiang Minghou tightened his grip on the reins, his voice cold and pointed: "Want to show off your power? I wonder who will scare whom."
Ye Qianning lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Dad, don't do anything. Whoever ordered the city gate to be closed has already finished his career as an official."
"Indeed." Qian Fanji laughed.
Xiang Minghou had a gloomy face and remained unhappy.
"What are you talking about? You look so happy." Sang Yan's horse slowed down a bit and retreated to be parallel with them.
Ye Qianning looked up and smiled at him, then lowered the car curtain.
"Except for the Third Prince, how many people do you think are happy to be accepted into Beili?" Gu Shuo raised his eyes and laughed.
Sang Yan felt a little embarrassed and glanced back. It was indeed a dead place.
Not to mention Xiang Minghou, Gu Shuo and others, Chen Siqing and Song Qi, who are officials of Beili, also look half dead, as if entering Beili is like going to hell.
Indeed, no one is happy!
"Your Majesty."
The guards came on fast horses from the front.
"What's the matter?" Sang Yan turned to look.
"Your Majesty, the city gates are closed."
