Nine Regions Heavenly Venerate

Chapter 60 Blue River's Killing Intent

Imperial City!

Prime Minister's Mansion!
At this moment, the prime minister's mansion was filled with a dignified atmosphere.

The meeting hall of the prime minister's mansion.

Yu Mengzheng was kneeling in the hall. He was tied behind his back, trembling all over, with a frightened expression on his face.

Beside him, Xue Zhen also lowered his head slightly, with an air of not daring to breathe.

In front of the two of them lay Lan Xin who had already passed away.

On the guest seat on the left below, a middle-aged man in gray clothes stared at Yu Meng with a gloomy face.

He looked up at the man with the same gloomy expression above, and said: "Lan Xiang, the dog committed a heinous crime, the old man specially tied him up and let Lan Xiang deal with it, Yu has absolutely no complaints."

This person is none other than Yu Meng's father, Yu Tianhe, a great scholar at the time.

When Yu Meng came back with Lan Xin's body, his first reaction was to be furious, wishing to skin Yu Meng alive, but after all, it was his own flesh and blood, no matter how much he hated him, he had to find a way to save him. Therefore, he was tied to the prime minister's mansion and wanted to take the blame.

In his capacity, if he came to plead guilty in person, he might be able to save his son.

Lan Jiang is over half a century old, he can be said to be old enough to have a child, and he dotes on Lan Xin quite a lot. Now that his beloved child is lying in front of him like this, the pain is beyond ordinary people's comprehension.

His face was gloomy, without saying a word, and a cold light shone in his slightly vicissitudes of life pupils.

"Lan Xiang, this junior failed to take good care of Lan Shao, it was my negligence of duty, this junior would like to repay with his life, and please ask Lan Xiang to deal with it." Yu Meng pretended to be righteous, bowed his head and said.

He has been kneeling here for several hours, kneeling directly from the afternoon to late at night, this kind of suffering has almost made him collapse.

"Disposition?" Lan Jiang finally spoke, but his words were cold, with a sneer at the same time, "If I pay my life back, can my son be born again?"

"I..." Yu Meng trembled with fright.

Xue Zhen bowed his head deeply, thinking that he, as the tutor of the Imperial City Academy, couldn't help being a little scared at the moment.

Yu Tianhe stepped forward and kicked Yu Meng down, pulled out a dagger from his cuff, stabbed it directly, and said angrily: "You unworthy bastard, the old man will kill your relatives righteously today, and kill you with his own hands, in order to eliminate the prime minister's shame." anger."

"enough!"

Lan Jiang roared, glanced over with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Don't think that I can't see the little tricks of your father and son, and want to expose them as soon as you beat them?"

As the prime minister of the current dynasty and the head of civil servants, isn't it possible that Lan Jiang has an idle mind, and how could he fail to see Yu Tianhe's small plans.

Even if the thought is affected by the death of his beloved son, it is not something Yu Tianhe can fool.

Knowing that he couldn't fool around, Yu Tianhe had no choice but to withdraw his dagger, looked at Lan Jiang, and said, "Lan Xiang, since the incident has already happened, I still hope that the prime minister can give me a way out. I, Yu Tianhe, am willing to swear that I will always stand behind Lan Jiang in the future. Support all of Lan Xiang's decisions."

Yu Tianhe is a bachelor, among civil servants, his status is second only to Lan Jiang, and only his words have the weight to argue with Lan Jiang in the court. If he is attached to Lan Jiang from now on, then Lan Jiang's status in the court and the opposition must be determined. If he can go one step further, he can make decisions on the matter of civil servants alone.

Lan Jiang's warm and angry eyes shrank slightly, Lan Xin was dead, she was doomed already, and she couldn't change it by killing Yu Meng or not, since it couldn't be changed, it would be a good thing to be able to subdue Yu Tianhe.

What's more, the murderer was not Yu Meng, and it wasn't Yu Meng he hated.

"My son has been spoiled by me since he was a child, and his temper is inevitably a bit domineering. He can't tolerate others being better than him, let alone a beggar from a poor family. Even without you, he would have made this decision, so I can't blame you. Get up .”

Lan Jiang's angry and majestic voice softened, making Yu Meng and Yu Tianhe overjoyed.

"Thank you Lan Xiang!"

"Thank you Lan Xiang for not killing me!"

Xue Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Lan Xiang's anger calmed down, he would not be in danger of his life.

"However, even if my son is domineering, he can't offend anyone, let alone kill anyone. Killing people should pay for their lives. I want everyone to pay the price they deserve."

Lan Jiang's murder came unexpectedly. Although he was not a powerful warrior, the killing intent at this moment could make even Xue Zhen's heart jump. It was enough to see that Lan Jiang's killing intent was strong.

Xue Zhen hurriedly said: "Mr. Lan, in today's battle, there is an enforcement court in charge, and they have taken away Young Master Lan's saber. I am afraid that tomorrow they will announce that Young Master Lan will use Ruanjinsan in the decisive battle. At that time, we will not be able to report to you The school questioned."

If Mo Chen killed Lan Xin, Lan Jiang wanted to avenge his son, and he could force the school to hand him over, but if the school found out that Lan Xin violated the school's iron law, how could he have the face to force the school to hand him over.

"So what about the Imperial City Academy, whoever I, Lan, wants to die must die!" Lan Jiang's voice was stern.

Yu Tianhe took Yu Meng back to the family, and Xue Zhen also returned to the school. They didn't know what Lan Jiang would do, but they knew that Lan Jiang would never let Mo Chen go.

After the three of them left, Lan Jiang looked at Lan Xin's dead body in pain, and said resolutely, "Xin'er, don't worry, I will avenge you for my father."

"Come here, freeze the young master's body. I want everyone who participated today to be buried with my son!"

Lan Jiang coldly ordered to go on, and then walked out of the prime minister's mansion.

……

Imperial City!

The mansion of the three princes.

Above the main hall, the third prince, Long Yuhan, flipped the teacup comfortably, looked at Lan Jiang leisurely, and said, "President Lan visited late at night, I don't know what's the matter?"

Long Yuhan, the current third prince, was granted the title of King Han, a ninth-level martial artist in the Lingfu.

A few years ago, he was also a student of the Imperial City Academy and successfully graduated with the first place in the Martial King List.

However, his number one in the Martial King List was not achieved by strength, but his elder brother Long Aotian abdicated after graduating from the academy.

The eldest prince, Long Aotian, is two years older than him, and has excellent talent. It only took him two years to become the top martial artist in the school. At that time, Long Yuhan just entered the school, and he wanted to compete with his elder brother. After several efforts, he finally caught up with his elder brother and ranked second in the list of martial arts kings.

However, his footsteps are always at the second place. No matter how hard he tries, he can't beat his elder brother. It wasn't until his elder brother chose to graduate that the glory of the top of the list of martial arts kings fell on him.

In the eyes of others, this honor was bestowed upon him by his elder brother, and it also became a pain in his heart. He wanted to defeat his elder brother and prove his strength.

Lan Jiang said directly: "I want you to help me kill someone."

"Oh? There are still people in the imperial city who Lan Xiang can't deal with?"

Long Yuhan looked at Lan Jiang curiously, then put down his teacup, shrugged his shoulders and said, "If Prime Minister Lan can't deal with it, how can a mere prince in name only do it."

"King Han should know what happened in the school today. The person I want to kill is the son of rebellion who caused my son's tragic death, Mo Chen!" Lan Jiang stared at Long Yuhan and said.

"Mo Chen, I know this person." Long Yuhan said leisurely.

Lan Jiang continued: "The school decided that my son used Ruanjinsan in the duel, and gave me an excuse to press me. I know that you have power in the school, and Yuhan Pavilion is full of your people. You are number one on the list of martial arts kings." Chen Feng is also yours, so in the academy, you have the strength and the means to kill him."

Long Yuhan said with a leisurely smile, "I don't know how to believe the rumors from the outside world. I'm an idle prince, so I don't have any intention of gaining my own influence."

"Besides, in terms of strength, my elder brother is incredible. Now that he has broken through to the third level of Yuanwu, he is in charge of the imperial city's imperial army and the deputy commander of the Azure Dragon Army. Lan Xiang should ask him for help."

Long Aotian is indeed very valued by the current emperor, not only entrusted him with the command of the Forbidden Army, but even handed over the Azure Dragon Army controlled by the royal family to him.

At the beginning, Mo Zhenshan was in charge of the Qinglong army. When he was rumored to be a traitor, the royal family took over the Qinglong army. The emperor also served as the marshal. Apart from the emperor, the highest officer of the Qinglong army was Commander Long Aotian.

All of these prove that the current emperor intends to pass on the throne to Long Aotian, which makes Long Yuhan envious, but helpless.

Lan Jiang stood up suddenly, bowed to Long Yuhan, and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness, as long as you can kill Mo Chen, I, Lan Jiang, would like to respect you as king. From now on, Lan Jiang will do his best to help you in the royal family inheritance. "

Zheng!
Long Yuhan paused with the teacup in his hand, and a bright light flashed in his seemingly cloudy pupils, and he looked at Lan Jiang with the same sternness, and said solemnly: "Is Lan Jiang serious?"

Being the prime minister of the court will have a great effect on the entire court and the public. If Lan Jiang can be subdued, it will definitely increase his success on the road to seizing the heir.

Lan Jiang knelt down in an instant, and said resolutely: "A certain sentence of Lan is true, if there is any violation, it will be destroyed by heaven and earth!"

"What is Lan Xiang doing, please hurry up, please hurry up."

Long Yuhan hurried down, helped Lan Jiang up, and said with a smile: "Killing people should pay for their lives. This is the law of the Tianyun Kingdom. Don't worry, Lan Xiang. Anyone who violates the law of the country will be obliged by my King Han."

"Thank you King Han." Lan Jiang said gratefully.

It's not that he didn't consider going to the eldest prince Long Aotian, but Long Aotian has many soldiers and is regarded by the emperor as the next heir to the throne, what can he use to impress him?
Originally, Lan Jiang was also optimistic about Long Aotian, but in order to avenge his son, he didn't mind changing the position of the government and the opposition.

It was enough to see his killing intent.

Sending Lan Jiang out personally, Long Yuhan had a deep smile on his face, "Brother, it seems that it's not certain who will win."

He turned around and shouted to the left and right guards: "Tell Chen Feng to come see me quickly."

……

At the same moment, inside Marshal Qilin's mansion.

"What did you say? Mo Chen really killed Lan Xin, the son of Lan Xiang?" A handsome middle-aged man looked at Mo Ziying in shock.

Mo Ziying was also shocked, and murmured: "I have already reminded him, but unexpectedly, he still did it."

Mo Fengping's expression was complicated, and he sat on the handsome seat without saying a word. After a long time, he sighed quietly: "Oh, the storm is about to rise, and the imperial city may change."

Mo Ziying asked, "Is father worried about Lan Xiang's anger?"

Mo Fengping shook his head and said: "Mo Chen has already begun to rise, he is a fuse that will ignite the entire imperial city, and even the entire Tianyun Kingdom. Lan Jiang, I am afraid it is just an introduction."

Mo Ziying's complexion suddenly darkened, and she had been taught by Mo Fengping all the year round, so she naturally saw the current situation clearly, otherwise, she would not have advised Mo Chen to give up killing Lan Xin.

Mo Fengping's complexion kept changing, and finally he took a deep breath and said, "It seems that it's time to go to Marshal Baihu's mansion."

As soon as he heard about the White Tiger Marshal's Mansion, Mo Ziying had a different look on his face, as if there was a hint of a smile, and even a hint of the unique affection of a girl.

"Ziying, hurry back to the school, pay close attention to Mo Chen, and try to protect his safety if you have the opportunity, but remember, you must not expose yourself." Mo Fengping left the mansion hurriedly, facing Baihu. Go to Marshal's Mansion.

"My daughter understands."

Mo Ziying responded, when Mo Fengping's figure disappeared from her sight, her gaze became melancholy again, and she murmured, "Oh, Mo Chen, why did you insist on this road? , live a normal life, isn’t it good?”
