Chapter 283 Fake Death
The King of Yan may not believe what the King of Pingdeng said.
But King Yan believed what Mr. Xu said.
So, it was really Leng who betrayed him.
But for what?
He adopted him since he was young, taught him kung fu, taught him to read, and treated him like his own son. If Leng Que wanted to harm him, why would he go to so much trouble?
He can take care of his food, clothing, daily life and even cold and sparse clothing.
"I don't know why Leng Que came to our underworld, but the one who ordered your death was the current master of Jieyun Dao. Jieyun Dao spent a huge amount of money for this."
"Of course, as to the specific amount of capital invested, you'd have to ask King Qin Guang. He was the one who took on this order."
It seemed that he understood his situation. King Pingdeng did not hide anything and even began to explain without King Yan asking.
"Let me put it this way. Although I failed, as long as the underworld remains, Your Highness the Prince of Yan will never live in peace!"
"This is my first deal after the Underworld's rebirth, and I must win it no matter what!"
This is not King Pingdeng saying harsh words or threatening King Yan, but he is stating the facts.
Prince Yan and Old Master Xu also understood this.
But Xu Laoer hit him with a stick.
"Are there any experts?"
Well, after being hit with a stick, King Pingdeng became autistic when he heard Xu Laoer's question.
What is a master?
Isn’t he, King Pingdeng, considered a master?
Even if he goes to the battlefield, he can lead the troops to fight.
The fact that the Underworld can gain a foothold in a place like the Northern Barbarians means that it is a killer organization is actually not very realistic.
"Thank you for letting me know!"
The King of Yan suddenly looked at the King of Pingdeng and said, "In return, I will give you a quick death. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, you can also tell me!"
"As a killer, what unfulfilled wishes could I have?"
King Pingdeng looked at King Yan and smiled bitterly.
But when the King of Yan stood up and raised his spear, King Pingdeng's eyes suddenly widened, "I have an unfulfilled wish!"
"Can you please not kill me?"
"I want to die of old age!"
"Sorry, no!"
King Yan raised his hand and thrust his spear through King Pingdeng's throat.
Then the world became quiet.
King Yan sat down again, holding his spear in his hand, with a serious expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Old Master Xu saw his expression, smiled, and said, "What are your plans next?"
"First of all, let me make it clear that we won't be following you forever. We're in a hurry to get home and build a house!"
Prince Yan raised his head, looked at Old Master Xu, smiled slightly, and said, "Cousin, could you do Li Zhen another favor?"
"What?"
"Play the role of the Ten Kings of Hell in the underworld!"
"My cousin is the King of Chujiang, and my second nephew is the King of Pingdeng."
"Just right, you all have similar body shapes!"
"What do you want to do?"
Old Master Xu glared, feeling that Prince Yan was up to something bad again.
King Yan shrugged and said, "The underworld, if they're desperately trying to kill me, wouldn't it be too hard for me to live in fear all day long?"
"So, I think it's better to die!"
"Are you trying to fake your own death?"
Old Master Xu immediately understood what Prince Yan meant. "I say, have you been beaten silly? Who are you? You are Prince Yan! If anything happens to you, won't the Emperor go crazy?"
"Besides, if you die, what will happen to your son?"
"Of course you'll die with me!"
King Yan chuckled, "I think Lingshui Village is a really good place, so I want to go over and be neighbors with my cousin's family. What do you think?"
"Fuck me..."
Mr. Xu was speechless!
Is it any use if he says no to this matter?
Since the old fox King Yan said so, he would definitely do it. There was no way he could refuse. Even if he refused, could he make the King Yan change his mind?
"You better think about it carefully. Your princess is from the Xu Mansion!"
"Once you die, everything in Prince Yan's Mansion will fall into the hands of that woman!"
"Don't worry, she doesn't stand a chance."
Prince Yan sneered, "After I die, I will definitely go to see my royal brother. I also need to make arrangements for the Whirlwind Cavalry. I need to make arrangements for all aspects. I can't just die like that!"
"After all, my throne must be reserved for my son!"
The King of Yan was canonized by Emperor Yongping.
However, the title of Prince of Yan was hereditary because Li Zhen was stationed in the northern border and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. This honor was enough for his princely title to be passed down to his descendants.
Of course, if the King of Yan's descendants were incompetent and did something shameful, the throne might not be able to be passed down. However, within three generations, there would definitely be no problem.
After all, the achievements of King Yan are witnessed by the world.
"Whatever you want!"
Old Master Xu snorted, "But there is one thing, just this one request!"
"Counting in the favor of saving my life, you owe me three favors!"
"Huh? Why three?"
"My father and I have saved so many of you, and we have to go back and save your son. Just tell me, how much do you three owe me?"
Mr. Xu felt that he was still very kind.
The King of Yan thought for a moment, smiled slightly, and said, "My cousin, you are right. I was indeed wrong in this matter."
"That's more like it!"
Only then did Old Master Xu nod in satisfaction. "No matter how cunning you are, and how much you owe me a favor, sooner or later I'll teach you what 'nine times out, thirteen times back' means."
As for the King of Yan, he was also cheerful and had his own plans.
The one closest to the water gets the moon first!
He was afraid that he would never be able to repay the three favors in his lifetime, so he could only use his son to pay off the debt.
Very good, very suitable!
…
The 15th day of the seventh month in the 13th year of Yongping's reign was the Ghost Festival.
Jiangling City.
The Prince of Yan was assassinated. To save the young prince, he died along with the King of Chujiang and the King of Pingdeng, two of the Ten Kings of Hell. Their bodies fell into the Cangluo River, leaving no trace.
The young prince also failed to save his life and fell into the river with the Prince of Yan.
All of King Yan's personal guards were killed in the battle.
When the news reached the capital, Emperor Yongping was furious and everyone in the court was saddened.
A few days later, the news reached the northern border. Leng Sha, the deputy general of the Whirlwind Cavalry, led the Whirlwind Cavalry out of the border and headed straight for a tribe of the Northern Barbarians. It was confirmed that the tribe was the hiding place of the underworld in the Northern Barbarians.
After this battle, most of the 3,000 Whirlwind Riders were killed, and the Ten Kings of Hell, including King Qin Guang, King Song, King Yama, King Biancheng, King Taishan, and King of the City, were beheaded. Only King Wuguan and King Zhuanlun were not in the underworld and escaped.
However, the Tang Dynasty court issued a wanted order to capture those belonging to the underworld.
Anyone who dares to have any contact with people from the underworld will be beheaded or implicated.
Emperor Yongping held a grand funeral for Prince Yan. After the funeral, Prince Yan's wife became a nun and was willing to spend the rest of her life praying for Prince Yan.
The Prince of Yan's Palace thus became an empty palace.
However, the title of King of Yan was always retained by Emperor Yongping.
The servant configuration of Prince Yan's Mansion is still arranged according to the standards of a prince, ensuring that the entire mansion is the same as when Prince Yan was alive, so that Emperor Yongping can come to pay tribute when he misses his deceased brother.
