Monarch of Evernight: Thirty-eight tongue wars
bsp;In a corner of the Unfallen City, an inconspicuous small building was heavily guarded. Guards blocked all intersections, and two giant crossbows were set up on the roof next to it. Not even a fly can get in or out.
One after another off-road vehicles came and stopped outside the building. Looking at their clothes, titles, and badges, the people getting out of the vehicles were all important people.
A moment later, a military vehicle painted with the military logo stopped at the main entrance of the small building. Wu Daoyu and a general stepped out of the vehicle.
The admiral looked around and was a little surprised to see such tight guards. As he walked into the building, the general said softly: "Wu Shuai, why is it that Zonglu Mansion is coming this time? It's such a big battle."
Wu Daoyu looked very ugly and said coldly: "The evidence in this case is irrefutable. No matter who comes, can it turn the world upside down?"
The admiral hurriedly said: "That is, that is." But looking at the worry that could not be concealed on his face, it was obvious that he did not think it would be so easy.
The two walked up to the second floor and were led into a reception room.
At this moment, there are seven or eight people sitting in the small reception room. They are all the people in charge of various aristocratic families in the city of immortality. The only ones who have not arrived yet are Zhang and Zhao.
Wu Daoyu sat down in the middle, snorted coldly and said: "What a big air!"
The admiral hurriedly poked him, and Wu Daoyu realized that Zhang Clan had also been scolded by this sentence. However, he always prided himself on being upright, so he just snorted and didn't feel the need to reply.
After a while, people from Zhang Clan and Zhao Clan came. The person Zhang Clan presented himself was a middle-aged elder with the title of Marquis of Guan Nei, which was just right. As for Zhao Junhong, it was Zhao Junhong who came, which surprised everyone.
Zhao Junhong is the most unknown of the four young masters of the Zhao clan. He has only begun to shine in the past two years. Although his calm and capable style has been recognized a lot, after all, he is still young and has little accumulation. Sitting here , regardless of the combat merit, the force seems slightly insufficient.
When he met Zhao Junhong, Wu Daoyu's face became even more dissatisfied. Other family members are much calmer and calm. Elder Zhang Clan met Zhao Junhong at the door and said hello to him.
Everyone had already arrived, and a man in his early thirties with a pale face and no beard walked out. He bowed his hands to everyone, and then stood aside. Then another man with a carefully trimmed short beard, long eyebrows and a noble face walked in, smiling and nodding.
Everyone present was shocked, stood up one after another, and said in return: "Prince Rui!"
Prince Rui nodded with a smile, chose an empty seat next to him, and then asked everyone to take their seats, saying: "No need to be formal, I was bored in the imperial capital, so I asked His Majesty for a random errand, and took the opportunity to go out for a walk. I'm here today just to take a look. Master Sun Chaosun of Zonglu Mansion still has the final say on what to do."
Sun Chao saluted everyone, his face was expressionless, and his voice did not waver at all: "Sun Chao, who is under the official Zonglu Mansion, was ordered to investigate the Zhao Jundu affair with the blood clan and collusion with foreign enemies."
Two people came closer below, and one asked softly: "Why did the Zonglu Mansion come forward in this matter?"
Another person replied: "You are confused. Zhao Jundu is the daughter of Princess Gaoyi and has the blood of the imperial family. It is only natural that the Zonglu Mansion comes forward."
The first person suddenly realized it, and then he was thoughtful.
Zonglu Mansion has always been a noble place, focusing only on matters related to the imperial family. Ordinary civil and military ministers may never see anyone from Zonglu Mansion in their lifetime.
Although it is said that Zhao Jundu is the son of the princess, if we only talk about bloodline, this kind of clan bloodline can be said to be more or less. And Sun Chao is a man with a hard face and a heart of stone at first glance. It is really intriguing to send such a person out to deal with this matter.
Everyone had their own thoughts and sat down one after another. Before most people came, they had the attitude of not caring about it, and planned to sit back and watch the Zhao clan and the military department fight. To be more precise, it's a series of fights between the Zhao clan and the Right Prime Minister.
But now that Zonglu Mansion has come forward and Prince Rui is here in person, this matter becomes a bit interesting. Many people present were wondering whether they should choose a side.
Prince Rui glanced at Zhao Junhong and nodded with a smile. Seeing Prince Rui's behavior, many people would inevitably have second thoughts.
Wu Daoyu was unwilling to let the situation change in a direction that was not beneficial to him, so he immediately said: "Qianye is called a human being, but he is actually a blood race. The ironclad proof is as solid as a mountain. Zhao Jundu has taken Qianye into the Cong Mansion for a long time. With the Zhao Clan Yes, how could a Vampire hide in the clan for so long without being noticed? This is not collusion, what is collusion? According to the law of the empire, colluding with the Vampire is considered a crime and should be punished by death. ."
These words were very powerful, but the members of the wealthy family seemed to be deaf, and all of them were expressionless.
Zhao Junhong smiled faintly and replied calmly: "I, the Zhao family, opened up the territory for the empire and defeated the enemy without any calculation. Many of our ancestors died on the battlefield. If you just use trivial excuses to make false accusations, Are there any loyal people in the world? I would like to ask, what was Master Wu Shuai doing at that time?"
Wu Daoyu stood up and said angrily: "You're just a junior, how dare you insult me? You're looking for death!"
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his right palm and was about to strike it down. With Wu Daoyu's skill, if this palm strikes, Zhao Junhong will be unlucky. But Zhao Junhong didn't show any fear, his smiling eyes looked at Wu Daoyu from beginning to end, and his smile was full of sarcasm.
Wu Daoyu seemed not to have expected that Zhao Junhong would not give in at all, and suddenly there was murderous intent in his eyes, and he struck him down with one palm!
When he moved his right palm, everyone in the family was shocked. They did not expect that on such an occasion, he would dare to kill him. Even if he had the intention to stop him, he could not take action.
However, Zhao Junhong remained calm and had no intention of even evading.
Wu Daoyu's palm fell halfway, and the violent force rolled towards Zhao Junhong. The wind of the palm that arrived first was as sharp as a knife and cut open the hem of his raised robe. Several people could no longer sit still and stood up one after another.
Suddenly, the storm calmed down, and Wu Daoyu found that a barrier as soft as running water had been erected in front of him. His wrist seemed to be gently supported by a hand, and the palm he struck with anger had no power at all. The sound disappears invisible.
The evil thoughts in Wu Daoyu's heart subsided a little. He turned around and saw Prince Rui holding his right hand empty. It was him who received his palm from the air, and his heart suddenly trembled.
Prince Rui has never had any ambitions, he likes romance the most, and he has always been kind, so few people have a sense of awe. However, only from this fight, Wu Daoyu knew that Prince Rui's combat power was amazing.
Now that Prince Rui has taken action, Wu Daoyu knew that he would not be able to get anything done if he continued to pester him. He snorted and said, "I only want to show off to Prince Rui, but if I dare to talk nonsense again, I will not be lenient!"
Zhao Junhong did not give him a chance to go down the steps. He stood up, brushed his torn robe, and said to Sun Chao: "My mother is the princess of Gaoyi, and I also have the blood of the imperial family. When will I be introduced?" Can a person from a noble family kill the blood descendants of the imperial family at will? Master Sun Mingjian!"
After hearing the words "blood descendants of the imperial family", Wu Daoyu couldn't help being shocked and angry. He stood up again. Just as he was about to refute, he heard Sun Chao say: "I came here on an order today, it's not a child's play. If anyone takes it for granted again." If you act in front of me, there is no need to discuss today’s matter.”
As soon as Sun Chao said these words, many people's ears rang and their bodies shook.
Wu Daoyu was shocked again. Just based on the force contained in these few words, Sun Chao was not far from the God General Tianguan. Looking at his current age and position, he definitely has a bright future. There is really no need to offend this person at this moment, not to mention that Prince Rui is standing by. When he thought of this, Wu Daoyu felt secretly resentful. He knew that today, let alone being arbitrary, even suppressing it would be very difficult.
Zhao Junhong smiled coldly at this time and said: "Wu Shuai is so eager to kill me, isn't he feeling guilty?"
Wu Daoyu raised his eyebrows and shouted: "What is the commander-in-chief guilty of?"
Zhao Junhong suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "What does it mean that there are so many vampire girls hiding in Commander Wu's house? How long have you been colluding with the vampires?"
Wu Daoyu was greatly surprised by this sudden blow, and said in a hurry: "Shu Zi! You are talking nonsense! Which house does not have a few vampire servants?"
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Wu Daoyu knew that he had said the wrong thing. It has become common practice throughout the empire to raise vampire and demon girls. Indeed, many families have them, but how can such a thing be brought to the table?
Sure enough, the members of the aristocratic family made expressions of shame, and some even moved their chairs, obviously putting some distance between themselves and Wu Daoyu.
Sun Chao remained expressionless and was about to speak when suddenly there was a loud noise outside the window and the whole building shook slightly!
There are all strong people here, and someone's expression changed immediately and said: "Ninety kilometers to the northwest!"
The vibrations from a distance of 90 kilometers can be transmitted here. It is obvious that there are truly strong people fighting.
Wu Daoyu's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he seemed to want to stand up, but sat back again. But his subtle changes cannot escape everyone's eyes.
Sun Chao's face darkened and he said: "The Unfallen City is the last barrier of the empire. Why are people attacking so close to it? Who is stationed there?"
Suddenly, several people's faces had strange expressions. Wu Daoyu's face turned dark, and Zhao Junhong lowered his eyes and snorted coldly. Finally, Sun Chao frowned, turned to Elder Zhang and said, "Brother Zhang, what can you teach me?"
Elder Zhang Clan returned the greeting and said calmly: "General Junto was originally responsible for garrisoning there, but after General Junto was detained for questioning by the military, the military sent troops to take over the defense line. That section of the defense line was originally supposed to be two hundred meters high. Kilometers away, but the dark race's offensive was very fierce during this period. They attacked for seven days and reached the position just now."
Wu Daoyu couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "The dark race only attacked my section and ignored the Zhao Clan's stronghold next to it. If the Zhao Clan hadn't collaborated with the enemy, why would this have happened?"
Zhao Junhong sneered, "Thank you for being a commander guarding one side! Jundu's line of defense is naturally the most dangerous and stressful place. When my fourth brother was here, I didn't see the Zhao family losing an inch of ground. Why? When it's your turn to defend, you will lose hundreds of miles in seven days? If you believe that standing firm is collaborating with the enemy, and retreating is the right way? How many times did Wu Shuai retreat during his reign? And how many times did the noble families here stand firm? times?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Junhong paused, waved his sleeves and scolded: "Incompetent people, stealing high positions, but grabbing and biting everywhere, wouldn't it chill the hearts of all the families in the world?"
Wu Daoyu looked around and saw that the heads of the powerful families all had different expressions and felt bad. He is from a noble family and has fought his way to where he is today. He inevitably thinks highly of himself and acts cruelly. In the early years, he had accumulated quite a bit of resentment against the family members, and after taking office, he naturally had to vent his revenge.
He didn't expect that he would be caught and attacked by Zhao Junhong if he said something inappropriate, and he would also drag down all the powerful families present. But Wu Daoyu couldn't show weakness and remain silent, so he had no choice but to answer the question.
The two sides went back and forth, and after arguing for a while, Wu Daoyu actually became more and more disadvantaged. Zhao Junhong not only had strict logic, but also had surprises from time to time, which greatly embarrassed Wu Daoyu.
The heads of all powerful families are all scheming people. After listening to Zhao Junhong’s words earlier, they would certainly not like Wu Daoyu. It is also impossible. However, after listening for a while, everyone's eyes gradually brightened, and they realized that besides Zhao Jundu, the Zhao clan actually had such talents.
Zhao Jundu's starting point is too high, and he will definitely be the leader of the Zhao clan in the future. Most aristocratic families simply cannot come up with suitable candidates for marriage. But Zhao Junhong is different. He is Zhao Jundu's biological brother. However, the more talented he is, the more subtle his future status will be. The children of the aristocratic family know this very well, so many people are thinking about choosing a son-in-law.
Everyone present has been fighting side by side for a long time and has interacted with each other a lot on weekdays. They understand each other very well and can roughly guess what the other person is thinking just by looking at their expressions. Everyone was deep in thought and forgot about the case for a while.
To them, the case was nothing more than a farce.
Qianye’s origins are unknown, but he is highly regarded by a proud emperor like Zhao Jundu. However, when Qianye’s reputation was at its peak, the military discovered that he had a woman from the Vampire clan, and he himself was being hunted. Sometimes he reveals his identity as a vampire in public. The first half of this game is just that, but the later part of the game where he bites Zhao Clan is so full of loopholes that I can’t bear to see it, and I don’t know whose handiwork it is. All the aristocratic families who stood by and watched wanted to comment, but they didn't know where to start.
Therefore, the principals here don't care about the process at all, they just want to see the outcome of the game between the Zhao family and the forces behind the scenes. And the next marriage is also an alliance. It is the fundamental plan of a family and cannot be taken lightly.
