Chapter 404 This is What I Want [Two in One]

Linmen Street.

In the candlelight at night, an uninvited guest arrived in the tavern.

Wearing a mottled and torn bamboo hat and a heavy grey robe, he entered the tavern that had long been closed. The two waiters in the tavern immediately became serious and greeted him in unison, "Military Advisor."

Zhu Nanyin frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes, but said nothing.

The man lifted up his hat, revealing a slender face of a middle-aged man with prominent cheekbones, sunken cheeks, and a deep, dark light in his eyes that made people shudder at the sight of him.

"Hello, young lady." He nodded expressionlessly, and then said, "Something happened in the south, and I was originally planning to go there. But the boss had some words to convey, so I came anyway."

It seemed that he also knew that Zhu Nanyin didn't like him, and he explained the reason right away.

"If my father has something to do, why doesn't he tell me in person?" Zhu Nanyin asked.

"The boss knows that even if he tells you, you won't listen." The man said bluntly.

"I don't listen to my father, but your words, Chunyu Fu's, are useful?" Zhu Nanyin looked at him unkindly.

The person in front of him was none other than Bashan’s military strategist Chunyu Fu.

Chun Yufu did not argue with her, but said directly: "The boss still hopes that you can return to Bashan as soon as possible. There are others who can get the information about Longyuan City. There have been undercurrents in the capital recently, and he is worried that you will be in danger if you stay any longer."

"Reassure him, I will protect myself." Zhu Nanyin replied coldly.

"We will also protect the young lady!" Erhu stepped forward and said.

Chunyu Fu glanced at him.

Erhu immediately retreated hesitantly.

"There are some things that the boss cannot say, but the news has spread all over the mountain..." Chun Yufu was silent for a moment, and then continued, "The brothers on the mountain are all suspicious of the boss's purpose in sending you here."

"You said you wanted to become my disciple at first, but you didn't succeed. You didn't get any useful information as a spy here, just some rumors. Now you're still here, and the brothers have long been dissatisfied. The boss said he wanted to take us to build Bashan, but his daughter is in Longyuan City and won't go back..."

"It's inevitable that people will talk about whether he is afraid that Bashan will be conquered one day and sent you out to escape the disaster... or he simply thinks that life in the mountains is hard and wants you to come out to enjoy the good life."

These words made Zhu Nanyin pause. She wanted to say something in rebuttal, but she felt powerless.

"Who is so disgusting as to dare to talk about the young lady? I will go back and tear his mouth apart immediately!" Erhu said angrily.

Chunyu Fu looked at him again.

Erhu's neck shrank, but he still whispered: "Even if you glare at me, I will still tear it apart..."

Da Hu leaned against the pillar and interrupted slowly, "Miss has been gathering intelligence here seriously, but it takes time to integrate into Longyuan City. We can't get into the circle of the rich and powerful right from the start. It takes a few years for a spy to slowly take root. How can we get something right after entering the city? The military advisor should understand this, right?"

"Of course I understand, and I also know that the eldest master can't possibly have those thoughts." Chun Yufu said: "But I believe that the eldest lady will understand the truth that people's words are scary."

"I understand." Zhu Nanyin nodded sadly, "Give me a month. If there is still no gain, I will leave here and you can send someone else to take over."

As Chunyu Fu said, if you leave your own children outside, who would believe that you would do your best for Bashan?
During these days in Longyuan City, I haven't gained much in terms of intelligence. Maybe my father is really under some pressure.

"The eldest lady is so sensible, the boss will definitely feel relieved." Chun Yufu got a satisfactory result, immediately stood up and put on the bamboo hat again, "Then I will not be an eyesore here. The situation in Yunlu City is urgent, I have to go there quickly."

"Goodbye, Military Advisor. I won't see you off." Zhu Nanyin said.

Chun Yu Fu said "hmm", turned around and left, ending this brief stay.

Seeing him leave, Dahu, Erhu and even Zhu Nanyin all breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether they had conflicts with him or not, few people on the mountain liked this military advisor, even though he did a lot of things to dominate the mountain.

Ultimately, it is because his style of dealing with people is too dark and really scary.

Zhu Nanyin felt that he was like a ghost whose only emotion was hatred.

Originally, there was a curfew at this time, and it was difficult to leave the city. But today was the day when the young heroes who had fought in the battle to capture the city returned to the city for a pilgrimage, so the curfew was extended, and at this time, the streets of the capital were still full of jubilation and quite lively.

Chunyu Fu walked out of the tavern and looked to the north before walking out of the south gate.

The place with bright lights is the imperial city.

"I will definitely take back what I lost with my own hands." He murmured, staring for a while before turning around and walking towards the south gate. "Just wait, that day won't be too far away."

……

The appearance of Concubine Ye astonished the whole hall. Not only Liang Yue took a second look at her, but all the civil and military officials in the court also glanced at her before quickly lowering their heads. Datou regained control.

Don’t look at her, she is a royal concubine!
"Mother." The Ninth Prince called out immediately when he saw her.

The Crown Prince and Liang Yue also bowed respectfully.

Ye Fei walked up with a smile and said to Liang Yue, "Can you let Tu'er go to the classes of the prince and Liang Ban in the future? I want him to get closer to you and learn from you."

"That's no problem." The prince wished there were more students in the class so that they could help him share Xu Zhan'ao's attention.

The Ninth Prince is different from the Sixth Prince. He neither competes with him nor has a more likable mother, so he is willing to take Little Nine to play with him.

In the harem, Concubine Lu relied on her own family and the emperor's favor to behave arrogantly and look down on others. She often competed for favor with the concubines. It was only in recent times that she became somewhat quiet.

Here we also have to thank Liang Fuguo, who helped her background, the Lu family, to complete the elimination game overnight.

Since entering the palace, Concubine Ye has been an orphan from a foreign country, weak and helpless. She is kind and gentle, and very lovable. In addition to the emperor's love for her, she is not a threat to others, so naturally no one provokes her, and on the contrary, everyone is willing to make friends with her.

There is a saying circulating in the harem that no one, whether male or female or eunuch, dislikes Concubine Ye.

The Sixth Prince's mother, Concubine Lu, was also at the table at this time, sitting next to the Emperor. She did not come down to chat, and there was an unconcealable chill in her eyes as she looked at Liang Yue.

When the Lu family was at its peak, it was Liang Fuguo who kept targeting them.

To this day, Concubine Lu still can't figure out how her family had offended Liang Fuguo, to the point that he would not even let her father return home and insisted on chasing him down and killing him.

Although the real culprit of Lu Yuanwang’s death has not been found yet, who else could it be if not you, Liang Fuguo?

If you ask the Ministry of Justice to investigate the case committed by Liang Fuguo, there would be no hope that they can find anything out.

Fortunately, Liang Fuguo is now involved in a bigger incident and has been imprisoned for investigation. Concubine Lu only hopes that he can be executed by slow slicing tomorrow to avenge her family.

It is not enough for him to die alone, the entire Liang family in Shendu, including his illegitimate son, must die!
Seeing Liang Yue enjoying such great success there, she couldn't help but think of her own son. He was originally the prince with the greatest hope of inheriting the throne, but now he was completely neglected.

Before today, Your Majesty had not seen Long'er for many days...

Thinking of this, she looked at the child sitting next to her.

The Sixth Prince Jiang Long is in his early twenties, with regular features and a handsome appearance. Among the princes with the blood of the Divine King, he looks most like Emperor Mu Beidi.

The Crown Prince looks more like his biological mother. Although he has a simple and cute appearance, he does not have the demeanor of a king. The Ninth Prince is young and handsome, but his appearance is not much like Emperor Mu Bei.

Only the Sixth Prince Jiang Long not only looks like Emperor Mu Beidi, but his every move and gesture also has the demeanor of a young Emperor Mu Beidi - this was because Lu Yuanwang secretly asked someone to train him.

Coupled with the fact that he received many praises from both the government and the public, it is no wonder that he was the most favored before.

But later it was made public by Liang Fuguo, who revealed that all this was a fake, specially created by Lu Yuanwang.

Jiang Long looked at his mother and nodded slightly.

He picked up his wine glass, slowly stood up, and walked towards where several people were gathered.

Liang Yue was talking with the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince. He caught a glimpse of another person walking over and turned his head slightly to look.

"Sixth brother." The Ninth Prince nodded slightly, and a timid expression suddenly appeared on his face. It seemed that he was quite afraid of this Sixth Brother, which was completely different from the way he felt towards the Crown Prince.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Ninth Brother." The Sixth Prince greeted them twice, then said, "What were you talking about with Liang Xianguan? Can I listen too?" "Nothing, just asking him some stories about the battle to capture the city." The crown prince replied.

"Liang Xianguan turned the tide in the battle to capture the city and defeated Jiuyang Feng Nanjue. He is truly a man of extraordinary talent. I wish I could have half of your talent." The Sixth Prince complimented with a faint smile.

But for some reason, these words of praise sounded a bit sarcastic when they came out of his mouth.

Liang Yue smiled back: "Your Highnesses are all geniuses with the blood of the Divine King. If you practice with all your heart and soul, you will naturally not be weaker than us. It's just that you have too much to learn, so you have delayed your practice a little."

"That's right." The prince chuckled, "You are absolutely right."

The Sixth Prince's face suddenly darkened, and he said, "If we talk about the most talented person in our royal family, it should be my eldest brother. It's a pity that because of that case, he has not been heard from since then..."

As soon as he said this, the prince's face froze.

The topic of the eldest prince has always been taboo in the palace, especially in front of him.

If the eldest prince had not disappeared, how could he have had the opportunity to become the crown prince? Those who missed the eldest prince would inevitably look down on the current crown prince.

Now that the Sixth Prince brought it up in front of him, it was clear that he didn't take him seriously.

The Ninth Prince did not know what happened back then and wisely chose to remain silent.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Liang Yue did not say anything, but just looked at the Sixth Prince quietly to see what performance he wanted to put on.

Then, the Sixth Prince said, "Fortunately, the real murderer has been exposed. Liang Fuguo is the murderer of the internal treasury case. I hope the court can find evidence as soon as possible and kill all his nine clans!"

When he said this, he was obviously ruthless, his words were full of murderous intent, and he stared straight at Liang Yue.

The prince's eyes became panicked, and he threatened to kill all nine clans of Liang Fuguo in front of Liang Yue. This was somewhat targeted.

But the Sixth Prince continued: "Including those bastards..."

Although he was not so afraid of the Sixth Prince now, he still didn't know what to do for a moment and could only shout, "Sixth Prince!"

Liang Yue listened to the Sixth Prince's words, but suddenly smiled and kicked out!
bang——

……

The banquet had entered the free time at this time. Not only them, but also the civil and military officials on the stairs were gathered in groups of three or five, toasting each other and socializing. It was originally a bit noisy.

But the sudden noise here instantly attracted everyone's attention and made the entire hall quiet immediately.

There was a loud bang over there, and the Sixth Prince was kicked in the chest. He flew sideways for dozens of feet, hit a pillar of the hall, and fell to the ground with a bang.

This scene truly shocked everyone.

"Liang Yue!" Chen Su stood up immediately, flew in front of Liang Yue, and shouted, "What are you doing?"

Although he was scolding, he was facing outwards. Seeing this, several strong men from the Worship Hall who had gathered around him did not dare to move forward.

Now that Chen Su has taken action, the situation should no longer be chaotic, and they are not willing to use force to suppress this Xuanmen disciple.

Concubine Lu rushed over to her son and cried out, "Long'er!"

"Puff." The Sixth Prince spat out a mouthful of blood, and then he gasped with difficulty: "Mother, I'm fine..."

Liang Yue's kick now has the power to split mountains and crack rocks. How could anyone withstand it?
"You are so cautious now, why are there still people chasing you? Can a dignified prince be bullied like this in this Shanhe Palace?" Concubine Lu cried loudly, and the whole palace could hear it clearly.

In fact, before coming here today, the mother and son had already made some plans.

He was planning to take advantage of this opportunity today to do something to draw Emperor Mubei's attention back to himself. It would be even better if he could plot against Liang Fuguo's son.

The Sixth Prince wanted to provoke Liang Yue and make him take action at the banquet. This way, he could play the victim and make Emperor Mu Bei have pity on him, and he could also let Emperor Mu Bei see how arrogant the people of the Liang family were and make him no longer show mercy to Liang Fuguo.

Although Liang Yue's kick was much heavier than expected, Concubine Lu actually felt a little proud when she saw her son being beaten like this.

That's right.

This is exactly what I want!
Seeing her crying so miserably, Mu Beidi frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The Sixth Prince struggled to stand up on the ground and said, "Father, we were talking about the Left Prime Minister just now. Maybe my words were a little inappropriate and a little disrespectful to the Left Prime Minister. You can't blame Liang Xianguan for being angry..."

His eyes were downcast and his tone was very humble.

Emperor Mu Bei looked at Liang Yue, and saw Liang Yue standing out from the crowd. He said in a sonorous tone, "Yes, I hit him!"

Eh?
When all the civil and military officials around heard this, they were stunned.

No, are you so brave?
It’s bad enough that she kicked the prince at the palace banquet, but she didn’t even apologize after that?
You won the battle to capture the city, not the battle to ascend to heaven. You are being too arrogant!

But then, Liang Yue continued, "I will not hide it from your majesty. In the battle to seize the city, I actually paid a price for the victory of Yin State, and that's how I was able to defeat Feng Nanjue. As for what means, I can't say it clearly, your majesty can go ask General Qi."

When he said this, several people in the hall immediately understood.

Wu'antang's use of such means would naturally let Emperor Mu Bei know that Liang Yue was suspected of taking the Jiyuan Pill. Emperor Mu Bei had also heard about it, but he just confirmed it himself at this time.

"I only have two months left to live." Liang Yue continued, "Before coming here, I thought that the Left Prime Minister has always treated me well, and now he is in prison, I don't know if he was harmed by a traitor, I hope to investigate it thoroughly. The Sixth Prince slandered the Left Prime Minister in front of me, I really can't hold back, please punish him, Your Majesty!"

"I am willing to give up the two months of my life left to make amends to the Sixth Prince!"

……

After hearing what he said, Concubine Lu and the Sixth Prince were a little confused.

He originally wanted to provoke Liang Yue, and then act miserable after being beaten in exchange for Emperor Mu Beidi's pity for his son.

Why did he sound even more miserable after what he said?

He had sacrificed his life for the country and only had two months left to live. His father was rumored to be in prison, and when he returned to celebrate his victory, he was mocked by the unscrupulous prince...

It sounds like the Sixth Prince has suddenly become hateful.

As expected, Emperor Mu Bei glared at the Sixth Prince again and said in a deep voice, "It is normal for young people to have some minor conflicts after drinking. Don't take it seriously. Let's just continue drinking and feasting."

"As for Liang Fuguo's incident, it may not be his doing. The fact that Zuo Xiang wanted to go to jail to testify shows that he still has the confidence. You don't have to worry too much." He comforted Liang Yue and said, "I will definitely find out the truth."

"Your Majesty!" Liang Yue said again, "I only have more than two months. I don't know if I can see the left prime minister's vindication with my own eyes. If possible, I hope Your Majesty can give me a chance to go to Yunlu City to investigate this case!"

Yes, this is his purpose.

He had been looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to speak to Mu Beidi and tell him in public that he did not have much time left and wanted to investigate the case for Zuo Xiang. It should be difficult for Mu Beidi to refuse.

But this kind of thing requires an opportunity after all.

When the Sixth Prince made some rude remarks just now, Liang Yue couldn't help but smile.

After being irritated by him, he asked for an investigation, which seemed very smooth.

This is exactly what I want!
Thank you, Sixth Prince.

Sure enough, after he made this request, Emperor Mu Bei showed a trace of embarrassment.

Not to mention that the Liang Fuguo case is of great importance and cannot be handed over to anyone easily, let alone how could it make sense to let the son investigate his father?
You said the father-son story was just a rumor...

Why is he so excited about the rumor?
After a moment of hesitation, Emperor Mu Bei looked at his ministers and said, "It is indeed inappropriate to ask you to investigate the Liang Fuguo case, but considering your contributions to the country, this request is reasonable. How about this..."

"I order the Crown Prince to go south as an imperial envoy to investigate the Yunlu City case, and Liang Yue will assist you. How do you think?"

　Good morning.

　　The internet at home suddenly went down. I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out. I'm sorry.
