After becoming the villain

Chapter 177 "Jinling Rebellion" and "Secret Sect Master"

Yi Junhan and Lu Minghui were both speechless for a moment.

Seeing Jin Wang Zhao Lingcheng so decadent, Lu Minghui felt discouraged for a moment.

"It seems that if you want to take revenge on Zhenbei Palace, you can only find someone else."

Lu Minghui was thinking about it and was about to resign and leave.

But suddenly he heard a burst of laughter...it was Yi Junhan's laughter.

Lu Minghui was a little curious. Could it be that Yi Junhan also lost his mind and went crazy?

Before Lu Minghui could say anything.

Yi Junhan just opened his mouth and said——

"His Royal Highness Prince Jin, are you prepared to stay drunk like this? Stay drunk until Prince Zhenbei and Princess Taiping get married, and stay drunk until Prince Yu or the Crown Prince ascends the throne!"

"... Above the court, there are either friends or enemies. Does King Jin think that by withdrawing from the fight for the crown prince at this moment, he can be alone?"

"joke!"

Yi Junhan was emotional. He thought about what happened to his father after he failed to compete with Yi Xiangtian for the head of the family.

"...If His Highness the King of Jin cannot seize the opportunity in the battle for the right to inherit the throne."

"... Once King Yu ascends the throne, there is no guarantee that he will not be expelled from the capital and die in a foreign land. Even the princess may be given Bai Ling poisonous wine and will bear hatred for the rest of her life."

"The King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty was also in such a difficult situation. With three thousand soldiers, he ascended to the throne through the 'Xuanwu Gate Change' and finally became a wise king who has been passed down for thousands of years."

"...His Royal Highness King Jin is now demoted to the rank of county king, but that is just a title. His Highness King Jin now has more than three thousand soldiers in his hands?"

"In the hearts of Daqian officers and soldiers, King Jin is the only wise candidate! Although the City Defense Department has been investigated, no other forces have infiltrated yet, and the captains still obey your orders, King Jin."

"... Even General Yuchizuo left the city the day before yesterday and returned to his station. He is your biggest supporter, King Jin!"

"Zen position? Seizing the throne? Usurping the throne? The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. In the disputes in the court, how can there be any distinction between good and evil?"

"...The winner, nature is king! Nature is righteous!"

Yi Junhan spoke with great passion.

Zhao Lingcheng was still lying on the long desk, but his eyes suddenly opened, and the light was shining in them.

He stood up leisurely and looked around.

"Yi Junhan, you are right."

"...The City Defense Department has not completely changed hands yet. I still have the Jinling garrison and General Yuchizuo in my hands!"

"... Before things come to an end, I still have a chance!"

Zhao Lingcheng's black eyes were faintly red.

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. We will fight until death."

As he was talking, he suddenly pulled off the tiger talisman on his body that mobilized the garrison in the Jinling area. ...This tiger talisman was something that the old emperor had not yet had time to take away.

Zhao Lingcheng called out to his lieutenant.

A lieutenant general heard the news and came forward. Zhao Lingcheng handed him the tiger talisman in his hand and said coldly: "Take my tiger talisman, mobilize the garrison in the Jinling area and enter the city immediately!"

"...Send me someone from the City Defense Department. Tonight, open the city gates. Success or failure depends on this!"

……

……

Prince Jin's Mansion suddenly started to move.

And the palace is also dealing with new affairs...

During this period of time, two daughters of the heads of the Yi family disappeared one after another in Daqian territory, and the Yi family was furious.

This once caused an uproar among the government and the public, with officials talking endlessly about it and making various speculations.

Both the Daqian court and the Yi family in the Western Regions paid special attention to this matter.

The old emperor Zhao Purui even sent two subordinate agencies, Dongchang and Anmen, to investigate the matter in all the courts.

Even the Martial Arts Alliance is contributing to this matter.

Cao Xi, the governor of the East Factory, naturally knew the truth of the matter.

But he took special care of Yan Wulu, so Cao Xi decided to just act casually and forget about it.

As for the secret door...

It was on this day of the palace banquet that the banquet had just ended. When Yan Wulu returned to the mansion, he received a mysterious letter.

That was a letter that was shot into Yan's mansion together with the flying knife.

On it is the "Plum Blossom Order" unique to the secret door master.

Yan Wulu glanced at the letter. The secret door master wanted to talk to him alone.

The letter is closed.

Yan Wulu's face was still slightly drunk. He glanced at the candlestick beside him, and then threw the letter into the candlelight and burned it.

Such secret letters must leave no trace and be burned after reading.

That night, Yan Wulu arrived at the place in the letter and went to meet the legendary secret door master who had never been known to anyone.

It's a secluded and elegant loft.

The dim candlelight replaced the bright [Moonstone] that was originally widely used in Jinling City.

This seemingly old wooden attic is obviously dilapidated inside.

But when Yan Wulu stepped on it, he suddenly discovered that the touch on the soles of his feet was two points stronger than those stone brick steps made of cement and stones!
I believe that when the mechanics built this attic, they attached some auxiliary mechanics to it!
It is said that mechanics masters have some special Taoist techniques that are used to build magnificent monuments, which makes the profession of mechanics masters no lower than warriors in the hearts of the people.

And since there is such a Tao method that can strengthen buildings, then there must be some auxiliary Tao methods to prevent eavesdropping.

In this way, this place is really a good place for conspiracy...

Yan Wulu thought in his heart.

He slowly walked towards the interior of the wooden attic.

An attendant wearing a secret door uniform appeared, seemingly coming specifically to lead him...

Yan Wulu was not sure which being in the secret door he would encounter next.

But he knew that this person would definitely not be harmful to him, and might even be someone who came to help him.

Because if the secret door master really wanted to harm himself, or had other ideas, he would not take any risks and would just give himself that letter.

In fact, when Yan Wulu first entered Jinling City, he received a secret overture from the secret agent.

That was before entering the palace for the first time and meeting Prince Zhao Lingfeng.

Of course, Yan Wulu was well hidden at that time, and no one else noticed this clue about him.

Even Wang Gonggong and others who had been around Yan Wulu at that time did not notice it.

However, Yan Wulu still inevitably has a trace of curiosity in his heart...

Who could this person be, the person who came to negotiate with him on behalf of the secret door master?
Why did he choose himself?And not everyone else?
The second floor of this dilapidated building has a completely different style from the first floor.

It is no longer the room architecture of an ordinary residential house, but has a decorative style like the inner palace of the Daqian royal family.

If this is the case, then it is no wonder that a reinforcing mechanism master's Taoist method was applied to the first floor of the pavilion for blessing.

Because if there is no such mechanism, the dilapidated building on the first floor will not be able to support the tall and magnificent interior decoration of the second floor.

Obviously, as a secret door secret agent transfer point, it should be made more concealed and ordinary.

But this person actually went to great lengths to build such a luxurious attic palace under the hidden and dilapidated appearance.

This also reveals a certain character of this secret door representative - he likes such luxurious things.

Treat it as a collection of treasures just as you...love other treasures and money.

The so-called low-key appearance may be just a way for him to disguise his true inner desires.

However, these characteristics are actually irrelevant to Yan Wulu.

"squeak--"

After the last gate of the palace was opened by the secret door servant, a somewhat ancient and shabby sound was made.

The guard at the secret door who was responsible for guiding the way stepped aside, bowed and extended his hand, asking Yan Wulu to enter.

Yan Wulu quietly took a look inside the door, and then entered slowly.

"Long time no see, Your Highness."

A familiar voice came from the gorgeous attic palace.

Yan Wulu originally had all kinds of doubts, but when he saw the other person for the first time, he seemed to understand everything instantly...

Yan Wulu couldn't help but chuckle.

He opened his mouth and responded——

"It turns out it's you, His Royal Highness."

……

The second floor of Accord.

Prince Zhao Lingfeng is sitting on a large wooden Taishi chair. He is wearing a simple and exquisite prince's python robe. He is not decorated with too many gem sachets like Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui, but he is still not inferior at all, with a low-key look. A sense of quaint atmosphere.

Next to his chair, there seems to be a simple and common hardwood crutch.

It is said that this winter, the prince's leg disease relapsed, even more serious than before, and now he needs crutches to walk.

When I see it now, what I said is true.

It wasn't until much later that Yan Wulu learned that Zhao Lingfeng's ordinary-looking hardwood crutch was actually worth more than a gold cane.

Prince Zhao Lingfeng slightly stretched out his hand to signal, and Yan Wulu sat on the side of the Grand Master's chair opposite to him across the long purple-robed case.

Zhao Lingfeng is the master of the secret door.

It's no wonder that the last time I was in the palace, I met the prince Zhao Lingfeng right after meeting the secret agent's overtures.

It also explains why Zhao Lingfeng had to find himself in the palace one step ahead of Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui.

After all, knowing the whereabouts of Prince Zhenbei should be easy for the secret door.

Zhao Lingfeng began to explain to Yan Wulu the reason for inviting him to meet this time.

As the master of the secret door, Zhao Lingfeng has already investigated that it was Yan Wulu who took away Yi Qiuyue, and it was Yan Wulu who kidnapped Yi Hanmiao halfway.

Although there is not yet strong enough evidence to prove this.

But when doing things through a secret door, the last thing you need is evidence.

However, Zhao Lingfeng added to Yan Wulu——

"I actually don't want to marry the second daughter of the Yi family. I have a woman I like. She is a kind-hearted woman from a commoner background. But after all, Yi Hanmiao was married to me by my father. I can't refuse, and I can't reject."

"...So, Prince, please rest assured, I will not tell anyone else about this."

"...I am very grateful to you, Prince, for disrupting this marriage. No matter what your purpose is."

Yan Wulu smiled lightly, concealing his inner curiosity.

He originally thought that the secret guard system of Zhenbei Palace had done an excellent job of covering up the information on this matter.

But I didn’t expect that Zhao Lingfeng’s men would still find out...

However, the prince didn't seem to be prepared to challenge himself because of this matter.

Yan Wulu became more and more curious and said——

"The prince specially asked me to come here late at night, presumably not just to thank me, right?"

"You can't hide it from the Crown Prince."

Zhao Lingfeng smiled humbly, and continued: "...I have something that needs to be dealt with by His Majesty and I together."

"What's the matter?"

"The fourteenth old man, Jin Wang Zhao Lingcheng, will force the palace tonight!"

……

"Old Fourteen secretly mobilized the garrison in the Jiangnan area of ​​Jinling and went straight to Jinling City, totaling about 3 people."

"...There are also many people in the Forbidden Palace and the City Defense Department who have secretly contacted the old fourteen, thinking that they should respond."

Prince Zhao Lingfeng calmly told these events that shocked everyone.

His attitude was so calm, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.

Yan Wulu seemed to be a little surprised.

He suddenly remembered Qingsi's reminder before leaving—Jin Wang Zhao Lingcheng was never one to sit back and wait for death.

"So, why did His Highness the Crown Prince tell me this instead of reporting it to His Majesty?"

Yan Wulu asked.

Prince Zhao Lingfeng pushed the tea on the side of the purple-shirted long case in front of Yan Wulu and said——

"Even if my father knows this now, I'm afraid it's too late to make countermeasures at this moment."

"...So, instead of letting my father worry for nothing, it would be better for me to solve this problem first."

"Solve it? How to solve it? With the secret door in the hands of His Royal Highness?"

Yan Wulu replied to Zhao Lingfeng that he did not think that was the most appropriate way to handle it.

Prince Zhao Lingfeng chuckled, "The secret door is just a secret agent after all. It is not a specialty for defending the city and killing people."

"...I have asked General Xizhu for help and mobilized the Yangtze River Navy stationed at Poyang Lake and the garrison in the East Vietnam region to come to Jinling."

"...But it will take another day for these troops, the fastest Yangtze River navy, to arrive."

"...and Old Fourteen's army will be able to enter the city in the second half of the night."

Yan Wulu understood what Zhao Lingfeng meant, and he said: "So... Your Highness, you came to see me?"

"Yes. And it's not just you, Prince Zhenbei."

"...The city defense department is all composed of people from the fourth generation. I am afraid that Jinling City cannot be defended. I have sent my subordinates to gather [-] imperial guards in the palace."

"...However, Old Fourteen is good at fighting. Facing the [-] troops in his hands and the palace guards hidden in the dark. I, the [-] imperial guards, have no confidence in holding the imperial city for a day."

As the prince Zhao Lingfeng spoke, he rarely showed a hint of worry.

But the next moment, his eyes flickered, he looked at the person in front of him, and said -

"However, there is no unparalleled path."

"...Beside Prince Zhenbei, there are five hundred of the most elite battlefield teachers."

"...In addition, Prince Pingxi and Prince Dingnan each have five hundred elite troops around them. If they can get help from the three princes, they will definitely be able to defend the imperial city and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

"We are deeply paid, and we should be loyal to the emperor and serve the country."

Yan Wulu gently tapped the long purple-shirted case, and he thought -

"...However, the Sixth Division of Da Gan, the Military Aircraft Division under King Yu, also has countless warriors who are good at fighting. Why don't His Highness the Prince also inform King Yu."

"I have informed Lao Jiu as the master of the secret door. Presumably, he has already mobilized soldiers in the military aircraft department."

"I see, I said too much." Yan Wulu understood.

Although he had known for a long time that the prince Zhao Lingfeng was by no means a mediocre person.

But when we talked today, we realized that the other person was as smart as a fool.

Come to think of it, even Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui is known for his poisonous schemes, isn't he also in Zhao Lingfeng's plan at this moment?
