Chapter 1052: Death of Yu Canglan
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall of Wuwei Palace was very strange.
Because those who vaguely guessed the truth were unwilling to talk about it, and those who knew nothing felt that it was too complicated. Moreover, the person who died was the most promising successor to the King of Wuwei, and there were countless conspiracies and intrigues when it came to power struggles.
Even though Yu Canglan seemed to have died due to being possessed by the devil, no one else would believe it except the somewhat single-celled Yu Yuanba.
After all, there wouldn't be anyone in this world who is so incompetent that he would die from the backlash of his own energy due to a momentary negligence.
The probability is higher that it was a passing expert who was displeased with Yu Canglan and gave him a palm.
Then, after Bai Zishu had a headache arranging a series of tasks to investigate the truth behind Yu Canglan's death, he left the hall first.
The next person to walk out of the hall was Ying Wuque, whose presence was almost non-existent.
He didn't care about Yu Canglan's death, nor did he have the slightest curiosity. He might as well practice his swordsmanship for two more hours instead of wasting time. Anyway, no matter how sinister the conspiracy in the palace was, it would not include him as a filler.
He could enjoy the highest level of resource subsidies, and would not be restricted by his identity and thus encounter some hidden harm. His status on the surface was relatively detached. This was the best place for Ying Wuque to practice.
just
Thinking of the intelligence information he received yesterday about Murong Fu who was stirring up trouble in the Northeastern province, his originally bright eyes became a little dim.
The last time Ying Wuque met Murong Fu was during the battle on top of the Knife Mountain. At that time, as the tester of the fourteen seats, or the gatekeeper, Ying Wuque naturally had a battle with Murong Fu.
Even the result of that battle was a forced draw due to Sima Kongming's intervention.
But Ying Wuque and Murong Fu both knew in their hearts that the former had won.
The two had been at similar realms, but Ying Wuque had long since found the path of martial arts that suited him, while Murong Fu was still complacently learning a bunch of rubbish martial arts, thinking that he could show off his outstanding talent.
But in fact, it is more useful when bullying weak opponents.
If the battle had been delayed for a few more minutes, we should have been confident that we could inflict heavy damage on them.
But if Ying Wuque were to face Murong Fu now, he would surely die in one move.
Should we say that he didn't work hard enough? Or that his resources were not as good as those of a mere extinct Northern Barbarian royal family?
Ying Wuque is very clear that the root of everything lies in the past life body.
All destined bodies are the result of the second life's foundation. In addition to an extra life's experience and martial arts experience, there is also an accumulation of bones and understanding.
This also means that unless one is a genius who has truly reached the level of a demon, other heroes who do not have the identity of a destiny body, and who were once in the first echelon, will be squeezed into the second echelon, or even the third echelon.
It should be like this.
He believed that the benefits he enjoyed in all aspects were enough to make him feel that he was getting stronger every day, but compared with those geniuses who had been able to fight with him in the past, he seemed to be the one who was progressing the slowest.
"call"
Then he let out a long breath and was thinking about whether he should find a godfather of a higher level. At this time, the deliberate sound of footsteps behind him made him frown.
It was Gongzi Yu who also attended the meeting just now but did not express any opinions.
"Is something wrong?"
"I am here on behalf of His Majesty the Third Prince."
Ying Wuque didn't say much and followed Gongzi Yu directly to one of his strongholds. He had no doubts, or rather, at this critical time when Yu Canglan had just died, it was impossible for a second assassination attempt against his adopted son to occur.
Moreover, the fact that Qinglong Pavilion had joined Yu Haitang was a fact known to everyone in Wuwei Palace.
Then the two of them entered an ordinary little house.
Gong Ziyu directly took out a medicine bottle and said:
"There is a Celestial Pill in here, which can guarantee that you will break through a small realm 100%."
Ying Wuque's eyes lit up. He had heard of the names of the Big Celestial Elephant Pill and the Small Celestial Elephant Pill. This was also an excellent means for those envoys from outer space to win over local warriors. However, the former was extremely valuable, and with the envoys' discerning eyesight, they would not focus on Ying Wuque, who looked the most ordinary.
As for the latter, the medicinal power itself has some hidden dangers. If a breakthrough fails, a large amount of drug poison will accumulate in the body, which may affect one's own cultivation speed.
If he was not in a desperate situation, Ying Wuque would not have had the leisure to gamble on this probability issue.
What was unexpected was that Gongzi Yu already had the Tianxiang Pill in his hand, which combined the advantages and disadvantages of both.
However, Ying Wuque did not take the medicine bottle directly, but said:
"Task."
"Choose one of the two. First, instigate Yu Yuanba to turn his target to Wuwang Pavilion's Jia. The other party should make some big moves recently, so we need to make sure that the two sides are already tit-for-tat.
Second, reach a cooperation with Jellyfish Yinji."
Ying Wuque frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"Did Yu Canglan die at the hands of Jia?"
"You react very quickly." A hint of surprise flashed in Gongzi Yu's eyes.
In fact, when he received the information about Ying Wuque from Yu Haitang, he had anticipated that this low-profile Fifth Prince might not be as simple as he seemed.
However, instead of being surprised at Ying Wuque's quick thinking, Gongzi Yu was now thinking more about the truth behind Yu Canglan's death.
It is obvious that Yu Canglan's death must be related to Jia, but the one who really pushed him to death was Yu Haitang who led him step by step to secretly confront Jia. He was not sure whether the changes in Wuwei Palace were still under his control at this moment.
However, as an all-round master with both outstanding martial arts and wisdom, he knows how to respect power even more.
This power includes both martial arts and wisdom.
Therefore, some small thoughts that popped up in his mind were forcibly suppressed, and according to the arrangements given by Yu Haitang, he stood in the game to control the development of events and voluntarily became a chess piece.
At the same time, with his restless character, he is looking forward to the next exciting evolution.
Then he looked at Ying Wuque, only to find that the other party was lost in deep thought.
He did not rush, but waited patiently.
A stick of incense passed quietly.
Ying Wuque raised his head and looked at Gongzi Yu and said:
"Since it's a choice between two, it means that the difficulty should be the same for both. So the risk of the seemingly simple second task will be much greater than the first one, right?"
With Ying Wuque's current identity, reaching a cooperative relationship with Jellyfish Yin Ji and the Xuanwu Tower behind her can be accomplished with just a few words.
After all, the main power in the Wuwei Palace now comes from the Five Adopted Sons Conference. Bai Zishu, who is nominally in charge of presiding over the meeting, also needs to respect the suggestions given by the five people. As for Jellyfish Yin Ji, having just lost a backer who could have the right to speak, she must find another person.
But among the remaining four adopted sons, she couldn't contact Yu Gucheng, who was a loner.
Yu Yuanba also has a lot of opinions about Xuanwu Tower because of his long-standing confrontation with Yu Canglan. With his stubborn character, an enemy is an enemy. As long as he doesn't like someone, he will not extend an olive branch to them because of some specific factors.
On Yu Haitang's side, there is the Qinglong Pavilion. When Yu Canglan was recruiting Gongzi Yu, he was present throughout the process and knew that there was a high degree of overlap between the Qinglong Pavilion and the Xuanwu Tower to a certain extent.
Given Yu Canglan's apparently most advantageous position at the time, he could only choose one of the two, let alone Yu Haitang, who was slightly weaker.
Therefore, if Jellyfish Yin Ji wants to become a loyal minister, she has only one choice: Ying Wuque.
Even though Ying Wuque seemed to be the adopted son with the least chance of winning.
Moreover, Yu Canglan’s death should have made the owner of Xuanwu Tower suspect Jia and realize that she was in danger, so she had to make preparations early.
This was the conclusion that could be drawn from Gongzi Yu's perspective, but it was unexpected that Ying Wuque, who seemed to be indifferent to worldly affairs, also came up with the answer quickly.
"What about your choice?"
Ying Wuque stretched out two fingers and said:
"The two tasks don't conflict, so I should be able to have both, right?"
Gongzi Yu raised his eyebrows casually, then took out another medicine bottle from his sleeve.
"You are just like what the master said. As long as there is a chance to become stronger, I will not let it go."
Then Gongzi Yu handed a medicine bottle to Ying Wuque, which was obviously a deposit for the mission.
After Ying Wuque took the medicine bottle, he looked at Gong Ziyu and said seriously:
"She won't be back for a while, right?"
"Not until the Rat Tide War is over."
Ying Wuque nodded, then turned and left. After watching the other party's back disappear, Gongzi Yu took out the voice transmission token and informed Yu Haitang of some new developments in Wuwei Palace.
-
On the other side, inside the main camp tent in the wasteland desert.
Xia Jinyu and Xue Wuxia are still investigating the changes in the situation in the north through their respective intelligence channels.
After learning about Yu Canglan's death from Hua Lianxing, they had already guessed who was responsible.
It is said that Yu Huanglian asked Leng Hanyi to take action so that her death would be silent and look like an accident, but in the end, nothing was hidden and she was identified as the murderer early on.
"Well, good. We will continue to intensify the public opinion offensive against the Great Xuan Dynasty and question its legitimacy. Let Ying Wuque handle the palace. Since he has accepted this task, he will definitely complete it."
Hua Lianxing put down the token and let out a long sigh with a tired look.
Yu Canglan’s death was a variable, and it was something no one had expected.
Even though the murderer is now almost known, no one will come forward to expose it.
However, some plans had to be changed. Without Yu Canglan leading the charge, and after learning the important information that the Great Xuan Dynasty was preparing for a northern expedition, she had to make too many arrangements and preparations.
However, this time she also confirmed one piece of information, that is, that person A was a brainless idiot before, so Yu Wushi had to make a plan for his fake death. As a result, until now, there has been no improvement in his IQ.
He thought he could do whatever he wanted as he had the powerful weapon Leng Hanyi, but the result was that all the favor he inherited from Yu Wusi was almost completely consumed.
Think about the two crazy people of the Yu family in the imperial city.
Although they also killed people, the other side was more targeted and successfully pushed their opponents into the minority. First, the five great pillars of the country were weakened, and then the military merit system was used to compensate for it. In addition, Gu Wenyu, one of the cabinet ministers, was eliminated, which first forced out his long-standing dissatisfaction and resentment towards the civil service system.
Although the performance of the other great scholar was beyond everyone's expectations, it did not affect the overall situation at all.
Afterwards, after showing a certain amount of muscle, both Yu Hengyuan, who had just ascended the throne, and Yu Huangtian, who was in charge of the worship hall, had obtained their due power and status.
The current Daxuan Dynasty is its strongest side, because all internal disputes have been forcibly suppressed by killing the chicken to scare the monkey. At least in the short term, there will be no one from its own side secretly dragging its feet.
So the so-called two crazy people of the Yu family are not really crazy. Instead, Yu Huanglian, who came to kill Yu Canglan without any care, but was guessed by both those who should know and those who shouldn't know that it was him who did it, is both crazy and stupid.
"What are your ideas next?" Xia Jinyu looked at Hua Lianxing.
Hua Lianxing replied calmly:
"With Ying Wuque shouldering the heavy responsibility in the palace, it will not be easy for Yu Huanglian to become the new King of Wuwei. Outside the palace, besides the Northern Expedition that is not included in the calculation, there is another more important party that has probably been ignored by everyone."
"The more important party?"
"Don't forget the suspected power behind Yu Canglan."
"Northern Barbarians!"
“Previously, the friction between the Northern Barbarians and the Wuwei Palace was under control. Firstly, the latter focused its main target on the Great Xuan Dynasty, and secondly, because of Yu Canglan’s existence, the Northern Barbarians were still dreaming of taking over the entire northern territory without bloodshed.
But now that Yu Canglan is dead, this dream is completely shattered.
In addition to the previous civil strife among the Northern Barbarian royal family, in addition to the suspected secret intervention of the former Emperor Xuan and Jade Emperor Heaven, the Wuwei Palace also openly fanned the flames.
Now, first the Jiuying tribe was massacred, and then Murong Fu held a blood sacrifice of the Shang sheep. As a result, only eight of the once famous ten royal families remained, and the pro-war faction was also severely suppressed by several major tribes headed by the Bai Ze royal family.
In order to prove that he is the chosen one, Beiman will have to make some big moves next, and he must also do this to cover up the various hidden dangers left after the internal strife.
So there will only be one choice.”
"If you add the Northern Expedition, then you won't have to worry."
“The source of the conflict between the forces in the Mountain and Sea Realm today is not these top forces that are in the open. It is because the Lord has seen this clearly that he wants to stabilize the situation and then move towards the outside world as soon as possible.
Therefore, the Wuwei Palace will not be destroyed, nor can it be completely eradicated."
Hua Lianxing rubbed his brows with a headache, then took out the voice transmission token again.
Compared to Xue Wuxia, who is about to become the real master of Dao Domain by relying on her overwhelming advantage in talent, her progress is still a little behind. Of course, the difficulty of conquering the two forces is incomparable, but now there is a bright road at her feet.
Time passed quietly. Whether it was the Western Expedition, the Rat Tide War that was tending to be a protracted war, or the great melee in the north that was about to begin, none of these attracted the slightest attention of the people in the Desire Realm.
Because the day everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived.
At this moment, Qin Fan, who was surrounded by a terrifying demonic aura and was suspended in mid-air, suddenly opened his eyes.
Today is the day of the decisive battle!
