low-key is king

Chapter 242
"Your Majesty, it's the information sent back from Xuanyang Capital. It seems that Yang Li and the others have already succeeded!"

After reaching out to remove the letterbox from the foot of the bird monster, Fang Lun finally had a smile on his face.

As for the so-called Yang Li he mentioned, everyone in the venue knew that it was the chief priest of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a five-level martial artist.

Even the monarch Ning Taiping knew what Fang Lun had sent Yang Li to go deep into the capital of Xuanyang, and if it could be done, it would definitely make the East King of Xuanyang Town into a mess.

Fang Lun naturally thought the same way. Today's incident made him feel overwhelmed, and now finally there is good news. He even ignored the mark on the letterbox, which did not belong to Yang Li.

Under everyone's watching and expecting eyes, Fang Lun didn't dare to neglect, and opened the letter paper directly.

It's just that when he read the content on the letter paper at a glance, his face couldn't help but become extremely ugly.

"Fang Xiang, what did the letter say?"

Ning Taiping next to him had been observing Fang Lun's face all the time, his heart sank at this moment, he couldn't help asking, but he didn't hear a response.

The Prime Minister, the five fingers of his right hand tightly gripped the letter paper in his hand, his knuckles were turning white, but he just didn't speak.

"Fang Lun, what did the letter say, you said it!"

Xiao Lie on the other side was also a little impatient, if not for His Majesty the Monarch, he would have grabbed the letter paper and read it for himself.

It's this time, you old thing is still hiding, what's the point?
"me……"

Fang Lun, the prime minister who has always been eloquent, is very incoherent at the moment. I haven't uttered a complete sentence a few times, which makes Ning Taiping feel a little bit dissatisfied.

May I ask what else is more unacceptable than the 8 people buried in Beilin City today? Fang Lun looked stable before, so how could he lose his composure now?

Thinking about these things in his heart, Ning Taiping stretched out his hand with a gloomy face, wanting to take the letter paper and read it for himself, but found Fang Lun's grip was extremely tight, and he couldn't pull the letter paper over after he casually pulled it.

"Fang Lun!"

Seeing this, Ning Taiping's face became even more gloomy, and the tone of calling him by his name finally made the Prime Minister of Jinfeng tremble, and subconsciously loosened the five fingers of his right hand.

"What? Talk about the extermination of the Wuliu family, and Yang Li... being captured?"

And after reading the contents of the letter paper, Rao Yining Taiping's city mansion couldn't help but exclaimed. When he uttered these few words, the venue instantly became quiet.

The meanings represented by these few short sentences are somewhat extraordinary, especially Xiao Lie, the Grand Marshal of Zhen Guo who is at the side, is even more blinded.

It was hard for him to resist the urge to punch Fang Lun to death, his breath was fluctuating and might erupt at any time.

"Well, it turns out that your prime minister's mansion has an inner ghost. You old bastard still wants to... let me take the blame, Fang Lun, what do you have to say now?"

After forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Xiao Lie stretched out his only right hand and pointed at Fang Lun's nose, but this time Fang Lun didn't say a word, because he couldn't defend himself at all.

This flying letter was not written by Yang Li himself, but Fang Lun's secret agent who arranged to enter Xuanyang Capital. He witnessed the accident outside the Tianxiang Pavilion in Tianyang City that day.

It's just because of the martial law in Tianyang City, this secret letter from Anzi of Jinfeng Prime Minister's Mansion spread much slower than the news from Zhendong Prince's Mansion, otherwise the disaster of Beilin City would not have happened.

If this secret letter had been delivered to Fang Lun one night earlier, he would have been able to temporarily change his plan, but it was precisely because of this momentary time difference that Jinfeng Country had lost a total of [-] soldiers.

The reason for such bad consequences was naturally found at this moment, and that was Yang Li's leak after he was captured.

That person is the chief enshrinement of the prime minister's mansion, so Fang Lun will not hide anything from him if he has any plans.

It's just that none of them thought that Yang Li, who was acting secretly, would be captured alive.

What Fang Lun didn't expect was that Yang Li, an astonishing five-level martial artist in the city, would subdue the enemy and fully reveal their plan.

Fortunately, Fang Lun was still slandering Xiao Lie just now, but in the end it turned out that there was a problem with his own Prime Minister's Office, so the Prime Minister's Office has to bear full responsibility for this loss.

The plan was made by Fang Lun himself, and the secret was also leaked by the chief priest of the Prime Minister's Office. Even if Fang Lun had a hundred mouths on his body, he would not be able to shirk his responsibilities.

Fang Lun was not afraid of Xiao Lie's anger, but he could feel the cold eyes of His Majesty the Monarch, even if he was the prime minister among Jinfeng civil servants, if he was not careful, his head might be decapitated on the spot.

"Your Majesty, the old minister's family style is not strict, and the old minister is convicted. Please give the old minister a chance to let the old minister pay for his merits!"

Fang Lun didn't wait for Ning Taiping to speak, he knelt down on the ground directly, and used four "veteran ministers" in a few words, as if he was also expressing to His Majesty the monarch that he was an important minister of the two dynasties, and he had no credit but hard work .

"Old stuff..."

"Fang Lun, how do you want to pay off your merits?"

Xiao Lie wanted to yell at him on the spot, but Ning Taiping interrupted his yelling once again, which made him unable to swallow his breath, and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Those who died in Beilin City were Xiao Lie's [-] elite, and several life and death brothers who followed him as soldiers, but now there are no bones left.

He himself had broken an arm, how could he let it go?

At this moment, although Xiao Lie hated Xuanyang Kingdom to the bone, Fang Lun's hatred is not necessarily the slightest bit less.

Just looking at Ning Taiping's intentions, it seemed that he really wanted to make this old guy pay off his merits, and he couldn't help feeling extremely aggrieved.

"Our Golden Wind Nation lost 8 lives, and the old minister promises that he will pay back with ten times the lives of Xuanyang Nation!"

Fang Lunfu knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, but his words did not stop for a moment. Hearing his promise, many people felt a little disapproving.

"Hmph, you still need to do this matter? This commander will kill him and let his blood flow like a river!"

Xiao Lie sneered, this was also the thinking of the onlookers, since today's battle, it is impossible for Jinfeng Xuanyang and Xuanyang to coexist peacefully, unless one side completely perishes.

In this way, in future fights, not to mention 80 people, with Xiao Lie's anger, they might massacre the city everywhere.

How can Xuanyang Kingdom's 80 lives be compared with its own [-] elite troops?
"Your Majesty, the veteran is in Tianyang City, the capital of Xuanyang Kingdom, and there are still some arrangements!"

Fang Lun did not get a response from Ning Taiping, knowing that his words could not impress His Majesty the monarch, so he gritted his teeth and could only put all his eggs in one basket.

"Oh?"

Hearing that Ning Taiping really became interested, now that he knows that the plan has been leaked, it might not be so easy to conquer Xuanyang Kingdom. Sometimes, it doesn't have to be life and death on the battlefield.

"Originally, the old minister wanted to kill Lu Xun, the second son of Zhendong King, so that Lu Mingyang's mind would be in turmoil. My Golden Wind Army can take advantage of it. Now it seems that Lu Xun has a six-level organ to protect him. I'm afraid it's not easy to kill him. !"

Fang Lun raised his head, and after talking about the cause and effect, he saw that Ning Taiping's face was a little impatient, so he quickly said: "The old minister learned that Lu Mingyang has a granddaughter who is only seven years old and has no cultivation, maybe he can make another fuss." !"

It seems that Prime Minister Jinfeng really knows a lot about Zhendong Wang's family, and even knows about the shocking accident in Zhendong Wang's mansion more than a year ago.

Since Lu Zheng, the eldest son of the palace, stays at home, and there is a sixth-level powerhouse next to the second son, he can only change.

Presumably that only granddaughter is also a weakness of Zhendong King Lu Mingyang!

"Are you sure?"

Ning Taiping's eyes shone brightly. Now he is quite afraid of the Xuanyang Zhendong King. If he can affect his state of mind because of this, it may be of some help to the next battle.

"I'm not [-]% sure..."

Who knew that Fang Lun shook his head, causing Xiao Lie next to him to sneer, and then he heard him say: "It's just a child, it must be playful, and the old minister believes that there will be opportunities!"

"Hmph, the Golden Wind army has already moved south, how long do you want us to wait? One year, or two years?"

Xiao Lie couldn't get used to Fang Lun's behavior, so he couldn't help but snort coldly at this moment, also reminding His Majesty, don't be fooled by this old thing.

"Fang Lun, I'll give you half a month. If you don't succeed, you will be responsible for the defeat of Beilin City. By then, not only you, but everyone in your prime minister's mansion, even cats and dogs, will be wiped out. Do you understand?" ?”

Naturally, Ning Taiping would not be fooled by Fang Lun's tricks, he knew that this man had a wise idea of ​​protecting himself, so the next words made Fang Lun's body tremble violently.

His Majesty the Monarch also has no choice, he knows that if today's matter is not resolved, it will inevitably attract complaints from soldiers like Xiao Lie, although he doesn't care, but now that the army is heading south, he must stabilize the morale of the army.

Therefore, Ning Taiping had to give an explanation to Xiao Lie and others, and Fang Lun was the explanation he gave, if he could conquer Xuanyang Kingdom, everything would be happy, if not, then someone must take the blame.

And this is not considered to be a blame, after all, the defeat of Beilin City was originally Fang Lun's responsibility, if he can't show the same great merit to make up for the crime, what awaits him will only be the destruction of his family.

Ning Taiping was putting pressure on Fang Lun, so that this guy wouldn't work too hard and get away with it. These old guys are used to smooth sailing, so they really think they are so easy to talk to.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old minister will definitely do his best!"

This time Fang Lun didn't take chances anymore, even if he lived to be 70 years old, he still didn't live enough, not to mention that he had to think about the old and young of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"No joke, if you fail, you know the consequences!"

Ning Taiping said something in a deep voice, and then turned his gaze to the southern sky, beyond the flames of the city to the north, he seemed to be able to see the figure of Xuanyang Capital in the distance.

"Lu Mingyang, just wait!"
