wealthy lord

Chapter 959 Guan Yang succeeds, enemies meet

Especially since he was trying to murder his own father, which made him feel very uneasy.

"Haha!! Well, even though you have lived in the Great Duan Dynasty for more than ten years, you have truly grown up and have learned to care about others!"

As he spoke, Guan Haiyue picked up the bowl of poisonous ginseng tea and was about to drink it, but Guan Yang immediately stopped him and said nervously: "Dad..."

"Hey, I've told you so many times, you have to call me father..."

"Yes, Father!! This bowl of ginseng tea..."

"What's wrong? Why are you sweating so much?"

Guan Haiyue never dreamed that her own son would poison her, so she still had a kind smile on her face.

"No... this ginseng tea is a little cold. I'll go get another bowl right away!"

Guan Yang raised his hand to grab it.

At this moment, he suddenly regretted it.

But Guan Haiyue immediately avoided him and said playfully, "Did you poison the tea?"

After hearing this, Guan Yang's heart skipped a beat. Feeling guilty to begin with, he didn't realize it was a joke and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Father, please forgive me!!"

Guan Yang knocked his head to the ground and didn't dare to say another word.

But after waiting for a long time without any response, he looked up carefully, only to see that Guan Haiyue had already drunk the ginseng tea, which made him completely dumbfounded.

"Haha, what a good tea! This is not only a bowl of ginseng tea, but also a token of your filial piety. So, even if it is really poisonous, I am willing to drink it!! What's more, I know you won't do this!!"

Guan Yang stared at him blankly, in an offline state, and didn't hear what Guan Haiyue said at all.

At this time, Guan Haiyue helped Guan Yang up and said earnestly: "Silly child, I was just joking with you! Don't be so nervous!"

He thought that his son was afraid of his status as emperor, so he behaved timidly.

Guan Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his father was not feeling unwell, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.

"Could it be that the poison Lin Yun gave me was fake? Was it specially used to test me? Otherwise, why didn't Dad react at all? No matter what, I have already done what he said. If Dad didn't die, it must be God's will!"

At this moment, Guan Yang was in a state of confusion and was dealing with his father absent-mindedly.

The father and son talked about some random things.

In short, Guan Haiyue's mood finally recovered at this moment.

"Okay, Ayang, I'll give you a favor this time! I won't kill Wei Feng and Han Xishan! But don't expect me to continue to use them! Humph!"

At this time, a young eunuch walked in from outside the palace gate and bowed: "Your Majesty, Prince Qing is here and said he has something important to discuss with you!"

"Bring him in!"

"Yes!!"

The young eunuch left.

Soon, Lu Zongqing walked in with the square step, followed by Tang Jingde and Li Mu.

However, Li Mu was shot last time and is still very weak.

But after treatment, the injury is no longer serious.

"Haha! Your Majesty, I heard that the Ministry of Industry has just completed the production of 300,000 bamboo guns? And 3 million rounds of ammunition?"

Guan Haiyue stroked his beard, nodded and smiled: "General Lu is really well-informed! I haven't even issued an order yet, but you've heard about it in the Izumo camp?"

Guan Yang's eyes swept over Lu Zongqing and Tang Jingde one by one, but when he saw Li Mu, he took a breath.

Li Mu also saw him, and a smile appeared on his lips.

They are old enemies. In order to save Guan Yang's life, Li Mu was willing to sacrifice himself.

But what he got in return was the entire Guan family stabbing his Li family in the back.

This made Li Mu hate it to the core.

I risked my life this time and finally gained Lu Zongqing's trust. I must find a way to take revenge.

Lu Zongqing looked very proud: "Of course! This kind of good thing that can boost morale, this general must be the first to know!"

At this time, Guan Haiyue also noticed Li Mu, but did not recognize him. She smiled and said, "General Lu, this guy looks familiar? Could he be someone you transferred from Daqian?"

Lu Zongqing glanced at Li Mu and said playfully, "Why don't you introduce yourself to His Majesty?"

Li Mu clasped his fists and said, "Yes!!"

Afterwards, he walked forward and looked at Guan Haiyue with a smile.

"Your Majesty is really a forgetful person! We are old acquaintances!"

Guan Haiyue raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Did we meet in Daqian?"

Guan Yang whispered: "Father, he is the Eighth Sage King Li Mu!!"

"What? It's you!!" Guan Haiyue took a breath and said in surprise: "Someone, come and capture him for me!!"

Two guards with guns rushed in from outside the palace gate. Just as they were about to attack, Lu Zongqing said in a deep voice: "Stop! Your Majesty, this Eighth Sage King is no longer the prince of the Great Duan Dynasty. He is now my man!"

Guan Haiyue was completely dumbfounded.

Li Mu smiled proudly: "Your Majesty, my Li family is the benefactor of the Guan family! In the final analysis, we are not enemies! The real enemy is Lin Yun! I also hope that you can abandon your previous prejudices, and we will work together to assist Daqian and defeat Lin Yun, which is the top priority!"

His words were extremely vicious. On the surface, he was pledging allegiance to Daqian in front of Lu Zongqing.

In fact, it was intended to sow discord between Daqian and Guan Haiyue, who were already in a fragile relationship.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with what he said.

Because Li Mu had long known that Guan Haiyue was just a puppet regime supported by Daqian and a pawn used to deal with Lin Yun.

As expected, Guan Haiyue sneered, "What a mutual assistance! It seems that your Li family is really born to be slaves! I didn't expect that you, Li Mu, would actually betray the Great Duan Dynasty!"

At this time, Lu Zongqing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Don't you want to continue to assist Daqian?"

"No! General Lu, please don't blame me. That's not what I meant!"

"Alright! From now on, you are not allowed to call yourself "I" in front of this general! The Eighth Sage King is right. You are the watchdog supported by my Daqian. Do you understand?"

Lu Zongqing's words were quite impolite, and he no longer treated Guan Haiyue with a good face.

Guan Haiyue's face turned pale and his fists were clenched, but when he thought about the powerful enemy he was about to face, he could only suppress the anger in his heart.

"Understood! General Lu, please take a seat!"

Lu Zongqing was not polite either. He walked in a square step and really sat in the main seat.

Tang Jingde and Li Mu sat on either side of him.

Only Guan Haiyue and Guan Yang stood aside, like slaves.

Guan Yang was filled with hatred when he saw this shameful scene.

At this moment, he finally understood what it meant for a country to be destroyed and a family to be ruined.

Without the protection of the Great Duan Dynasty, Hanzhong County could only suffer humiliation from foreign forces.

Guan Haiyue changed the subject and said, "By the way, I wonder what General Lu is doing this time?"

Lu Zongqing said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, this general had a direct confrontation with the elite troops under Lin Yun at the Ruoshui River! We suffered an unprecedented defeat! So, this time, this general came here, in accordance with the will of my Great Qianlong Emperor, to make two requests of you!"
