Chapter 225: Dongjun is kept in the dark, Yibu indulges in fantasy
The main hall of the Marquis of Zhenxi's Mansion.
The imperial edict was stepped on by Baili Dongjun. He held the Undying Sword in his hand, and under the tip of the sword was the dying Zhuo Luo.
Zhuo Luo's mouth and nose were covered in blood. Although Wen Yanzhao's palm strike just now was casual, he was already in the realm of mystery after all. This palm strike almost took half of Zhuo Luo's life.
Hearing that Wen Yanzhao was going to make him into a medicine man, Zhuo Luo was terrified and could only beg for mercy due to his severe injuries:
"Wen Yanzhao, you can't kill me...
General Su Xin has 40,000 troops in Lingnan. If I die, Your Majesty... Your Majesty will definitely issue an order and the entire Wen family will be wiped out in no time!"
Wen Yanzhao was almost laughing out loud at Zhuo Luo's words:
"Why are all the people from your palace so alike? Even when death is imminent, they still act so arrogant and stinky!
Please understand the situation now. I can kill you in a snap of my fingers. Do you think you are worthy enough to threaten me with the Wen family?"
Wen Yanzhao flicked his right hand as he finished speaking. Zhuo Luo felt as if a tiny insect had burrowed into his mouth and nose. Before he could cough it out, his consciousness plummeted into an abyss...
He could see the four people in front of him and everything in the main hall, but his consciousness was sinking deeper and deeper, he could not speak and his body seemed to be frozen.
He didn't know that he had just been poisoned by Wen Yanzhao's Three Corpses and Wandering Souls Powder. This poison would not kill, but would destroy the mind and turn the person into a walking corpse.
At the last moment when his consciousness completely fell into darkness, Wen Yanzhao's playful smile appeared before Zhuo Luo's eyes:
"Zhuo Luo, you are very lucky to be my Wen Yanzhao's first medicine man!"
After dealing with Zhuo Luo, Baili Chengfeng summoned the soldiers outside the hall and rescued Zhuo Luo and the other four Jinwu Guards' "living bodies".
The eunuchs and imperial guards who came with them had already been stripped of their weapons and armor by Captain Chen and escorted to the Boyue Mountain camp for custody.
According to Baili Chengfeng's arrangement, the soldiers placed the living bodies used for the drug-man experiments in the woodshed in the backyard of the Marquis's mansion, which was often used to imprison Baili Dongjun...
After everything was packed up, Baili Dongjun was a little puzzled and looked at Wen Yanzhao and asked:
"Cousin, why do you want to use these people's bodies for experiments? Was it Master Gu Chen who taught you the legendary medicine man technique?"
After he finished asking, he turned to his grandfather and father:
"Grandpa, Prince, during the time I was away, were there any important things you were hiding from me?"
Wen Yanzhao saw that the matter could no longer be concealed, so he clasped his fists towards Baili Luochen and Baili Chengfeng and said:
"Grandpa Baili, Uncle, please forgive Zhaoer for bringing my cousin back to the Marquis' Mansion without prior notice!"
Baili Luochen's expression changed from the previous stern expression, and now he was like a kind old man. He smiled and said:
"Don't be so polite. I, Grandpa, have been missing Dongjun for a long time. It's just right that you sent Dongjun back to Qiandong, so I don't have to worry about it!"
Baili Chengfeng patted Baili Dongjun's shoulder, his expression somewhat solemn:
"Silly boy, there's no need to ask so many questions. You just need to know that the Emperor of Apocalypse City has been wary of our family for a long time!"
"We do this purely for self-preservation. If we continue as we did before, the misfortune that befell General Ye Yu's family will once again fall upon our Baili family!"
Baili Dongjun first glanced at Wen Yanzhao, then turned to Baili Luochen and asked:
"Grandpa, if that's the case... does that mean our Zhenxi Marquisate has rebelled against Beili and is going to establish its own faction?"
"Then what about my fellow students in the academy? My grandfather's family is not like us, with a large number of troops..."
"Beili is a vast country. We are relying on the strength of one city to fight against the strength of an entire country. I always feel that we are a little too confident, aren't we?"
Baili Luochen felt that Baili Dongjun's words were well-founded, and he also found it funny that he had secretly conquered four states and accumulated tens of millions of taels of silver. He stroked his gray beard and said with a smile:
"Dongjun has grown up and can actually think about so many things. Not bad!"
"But there are some things that your father, your cousin, and I have been hiding from you..."
At this point, Baili Luochen gave Baili Chengfeng a look, and Baili Chengfeng immediately understood:
"Lord Dong, you are totally wrong. We are not using one city to fight against the entire Beili country. Now, Meng, Ji, Zi, and these four southwestern states have been taken over by us!"
"This is all thanks to your cousin's plan, which even cost one of your senior brothers the life of the other..."
Baili Dongjun's head was full of questions for a moment, and he had no idea what the three people in front of him were talking about:
"What are you talking about? How come you guys did so many things behind my back when I was away from home for just over half a year?"
"Aside from Grandpa, is it me, the Little Overlord of Qiandong, who has the final say in this family?!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"
The three of them looked at Baili Dongjun and thought he was so cute. They laughed at the same time, and the mansion was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere!
……
Tianqi City, Shadow Sect Guard Department.
The compound was almost entirely filled with Shadow Sect guards coming and going on official shift changes, with the exception of two individuals.
The older one sat very relaxedly at the marble table in front of the door, holding a cup of tea and mumbling something.
The younger one in black clothes and holding a black sword had a serious expression on his face and stood respectfully beside the older man.
When the picture zoomed in, it was revealed that it was the Shadow Sect's leader Yi Bu and his chief disciple Luo Qingyang.
"Qingyang, your junior sister's wedding is on the 14th of this month. There are only four or five days left, so don't let your guard down!"
"Tianqi City's various gates and thoroughfares, take the secret guards to investigate. Even though that kid surnamed Ye isn't capable of causing any more trouble, we're worried that something else might go wrong, which would be disgraceful for the Shadow Sect!"
Although Yi Bu's words were all instructions and commands, his tone was not serious. Luo Qingyang followed them one by one, and his expression became more respectful.
Yi Bu has been in a very good mood since he came back from the palace last time.
Firstly, his daughter Yi Wenjun's wedding was approaching and his eldest disciple had been canonized as a Mingwei by Emperor Tai'an; secondly, he had participated in the Pingqing Palace Conference and was unexpectedly placed in the same position by the emperor as several other important civil and military officials.
The political signal conveyed here is enough to show that Emperor Tai'an will rely more on himself in the future.
Then the power and reputation of the Yi family and the Shadow Sect in Tianqi City will be greatly enhanced!
Yi Bu shook the teacup, his mind filled with longing and yearning for the future...
"When Jun'er becomes the concubine of King Jingyu, I will also become a member of the royal family!"
"When His Majesty sends troops to suppress Baili Luochen's rebellion, he might even ask me to come out of retirement. After all, I have a long history with Baili Chengfeng, and I'm more familiar with the Pofeng Army's marching and combat habits..."
"When the rebellion is over and the world is at peace, and His Majesty Long Yu passes away, if Prince Jingyu inherits the throne... hehe, then I will be the father-in-law of the emperor!"
Thinking of this, Yi Bu was so happy that he almost stood up and rushed out of the Yingzong Guard Department, and went to the Yi family's ancestral tomb to explain the details to his ancestors in person!
But a shrill voice outside the courtyard interrupted his fantasy -
"His Majesty has arrived, the Shadow Sect's guards are out to welcome him!"
Yi Bu was startled when he heard the sound and stood up suddenly as if he had been struck by lightning:
"Qingyang, why are you standing there? Come with me to welcome the emperor!"
