The Emperor of the Three Realms
chapter 93
The moment he opened the package, the Duke of Soaring Dragon turned into a messy mess. She's terrified.
Long Yinye's head had a large hole in his forehead and eyes that stared wide due to the non-peaceful death. Those eyes met Long Zhaofeng's eyes as soon as he opened the package.
"Aah!" A mouthful of blood spurted out from Long Zhaofeng's mouth.
Your Majesty, what's wrong? The personal guards around him ran over.
“Kill him, kill him, kill him!” Long Zhaofeng was like a mad demon as he pointed towards the sky and gave orders repeatedly.
Fatty Xuan laughed out loud, “Long Zhaofeng, you allowed your son and daughter to kill the other heirs in the Boundless Catacombs. Did you never think this day would come? There is karma even in a momentary life and it comes quickly. Hold your child's head and cry slowly in the corner!”
"Kill him!" Long Zhaofeng cried out in pain with all his strength.
However, Fatty Xuan was a person who was afraid of death. How could he put himself in the middle of danger? He patted the back of the Goldwing Swordbird's head and immediately shot into the clouds.
“Hahaha, Long Zhaofeng's. You kill others and you should know that there will come a time when others will kill you! Long Yinye is just the first step in the destruction of your Long family!”
Fatty Xuan thoroughly enjoyed this verbal interaction, finally returning happily and leaving triumphantly.
Even Long Juxue, who was training with the door closed in the Long residence, was troubled. His body flew up while running to the roof, but he immediately saw Long Yinye's head staring back at him with wide eyes.
"Brother brother!" Long Juxue was also dumbfounded.
So what did he have with the azure phoenix constitution? So what if the hidden sect had marked it with their attention?
This would not change the reality of his elder brother's beheading in the hands of someone else!
Will the strong potential and strong background revive Long Yinye?
NAY!
Long Juxue's face turned slightly pale and her tone was extremely cold. He asked, “Who did it?”
The faces of the personal guards bled out as they shook their heads. “We are not sure. Someone had just rode a Goldwing Swordbird to. hand over the young Duke's head.”
“The person's voice is familiar.” Although Long Juxue was grieving, her mind was not overwhelmed with confusion.
Could it be Jiang Chen? A personal guard asked in a hoarse voice.
That was not Jiang Chen's voice! How could Long Juxue fail to discern Jiang Chen's voice? When Jiang Chen was mentioned, he suddenly thought of someone else. “True, that voice. I remember now. It's Fatty Xuan, the heir of Jinshan! One of Jiang Chen's henchmen.”
“Jinshan Duke?” A trace of killing intent once again flashed in Long Zhaofeng's sharp eyes.
She had just wallowed in pain from losing her son and was unable to escape from him. After a moment of chaos, he slowly regained his senses. When he heard the three words 'Jinshan Duke', his desire to kill increased sharply and quickly.
“Yinye, Long Yi, your brave soul must be close. Keep watching! I will definitely avenge you. Family clan Jiang and Xuan, I will exterminate you, pile your corpses on the mountain and make a river of your blood!”
Long Zhaofeng cried blood as he swore.
“Long Er, give me my orders. All dukes who flocked to the Panjang family banner had to travel to Soaring Dragon palace within two hours!”
Long Er's heart contracted. He knew that the duke was raising the battle schedule!
The elite Soaring Dragon warrior finally managed to return in pairs and threes from the streets outside.
“Your Majesty, bad things have happened. Young duke he..”
A layer of ice covered Long Zhaofeng's face as he said to Long Er, "Down the incompetent clowns and leave this place!"
"What's? Long Yinye went to punish Duke Jiang Han and was directly shot from the sky by Jiang Chen? Long Yi was killed too? And Yanmen's heir, Yan Yiming?”
“Jiang Chen is back? He's not dead? Long Yinye was shot by him?”
The news of Long Yinye being killed, the fall of Long Yi, and Jiang Chen returning with great vengeance spread throughout the capital in just fifteen minutes.
The dukes who had gathered at the Duke of Soaring Dragon's banner were even more shocked, their mouths filled with a bitter taste.
They could hardly believe their ears. With the elite Duke of Soaring Dragon and eleven meridian true qi masters Long Yi holding the fortress, how could anyone be killed by Jiang Chen?
They can't understand it!
However, the truth as strong as iron forced them to believe it.
“Your Majesty, the Duke of Soaring Dragon has sent an urgent call to His Majesty to discuss the urgent matters at the palace of Soaring Dragon.”
Almost all the dukes who sought help with the Duke of Soaring Dragon received the same news afterwards.
Go or not go?
Some dukes were somewhat hesitant. Jiang Chen returned wholeheartedly and Long Yinye's death had caused some sudden ripples in the plot which was originally a definite conclusion in the capital.
This change of direction completely occurred suddenly.
They have to admit, they are worried. They began to suspect whether the Duke of Soaring Dragon had really succeeded in his horse. Will he really sweep away the obstacles wherever he goes?
The moment they had made up their mind, they were destined not to be able to get off that ship.
Even if they don't want to, they still have to go, .
They have no other choice now. They must unite on Duke Long's side and help him in a coup to turn the land of the Eastern Family into the land of the Long family.
Only in this way could they overcome this dangerous situation, and transform themselves into meritorious founding nobles just by shaking their bodies.
If they retreated and allowed the Duke of Soaring Dragon to be destroyed, then they would also not be far from death.
That said, Duke Long's charisma was still very strong. Even the fall of Long Yinye was not enough to shake his immortal domineering charisma and aura like the land and sky.
Long Yinye had died, but Duke Long had many sons. He could always appoint other young dukes and spend more time cultivating them.
As long as Long Juxue was fine, and as long as the azure phoenix constitution remained, Duke Long's supporters would not be lost. After all, that blue phoenix constitution had attracted the attention of the hidden sect experts!
The experts from the hidden sect were legendary existences, and were a much more domineering force than the ancestors of the Eastern clan.
Even though your Eastern family ancestor was a spirit dao practitioner, in the end, he was only one person, completely isolated.
When compared to a powerful sect, you will be alone and helpless!
This was why the Duke of Soaring Dragon could bind so many dukes.
Of the 108 dukes, there were actually fifty or sixty dukes who had already fully sided with the Duke of Soaring Dragon.
There are still some who are loyal to the royal family, and some who are neutral.
“Everything, under these circumstances, I will not utter nonsense. Everyone has expressed their attitude. I, Long Zhaofeng, will not mince words either! The Eastern clan was immoral and favored sycophants, persecuting the faithful and honest. My son Yinye was killed when he went to punish Duke Jiang Han. They said it was Jiang Chen's deed, but do you believe that only the son of the Jiang clan could possess such strength? The experts from the royal family are definitely involved in this! I, the Long family, today announced that I took up arms to send a punitive expedition against the Eastern clan!”
“Lifting weapons for punitive expeditions, Long clan replaces Eastern clan!”
All the dukes stood up and raised their hands while shouting loudly.
“That's a good thing, my Banja Family, on this day, will gather an army of justice to oppress an immoral ruler! Everyone present is a duke, please order your troops to form an army of justice and cooperate in this great cause!”
“We are willing to gather an army of justice and assist the duke of Soaring Dragon in oppressing an immoral ruler, announcing a new dynasty and epoch!”
No matter how ignorant of the shame of the actions taken in the power struggle, a dignified but insincere reason in its substance must be found. Even someone like Duke Long was no exception.
In fact it was a coup, yet he still sought to create an unparalleled image of virtue and justice. It seemed that only in this way would he feel comfortable and satisfied.
“Everything, I have a suggestion.” The one who spoke was the Duke of Yanmen, Yan Jiuzhuang. His son Yan Yiming was the one who was also shot by Jiang Chen in front of the door of the Jiang Han palace.
“What precious advice does Duke Yan have?” Long Zhaofeng exuded an aura of generosity.
“The time it takes for all of us to increase the troops and open the road to the capital will take between three to eight days. Although we have brought in personal bodyguards and deployed our elite troops, compared to Tiandu's forces, at best we can say that we are balanced. Instead of rebelling now, why not wait until a large army arrives.”
“Then we wait? How can we accept today's incident?” The one who spoke was the other duke. His son was also shot dead, under the same arrow that killed Yan Yiming. They are part of the meat skewers.
“Of course we're not just waiting! I can raise the call to purge the evil minister from the king's side and first surround Jiang Han's palace, Jinshan's palace, Hubing's palace.”
Duke Yan's suggestion is quite reasonable! Zhaofeng's long eyes sparkled.
Although his version was that an expert from the royal family had killed Long Yinye, yet many of his personal bodyguards had seen with their own eyes that the person who killed Long Yinye was Jiang Chen. Who else could do it?
He had just said it to fabricate a dispute with the royal family and found the banner of justice and truth for him.
Therefore, the person that Long Zhaofeng hated the most right now was Jiang Chen. The person he wanted to kill the most was Jiang Chen!
Inside the palace, Eastern Lu's complexion was pale and pale, his eyes full of regret and resentment.
He had also received intelligence information as early as possible that Jiang Chen had returned, and returned wholeheartedly. In fact, the way he returned has been made a legend by the rumour-spreaders in the capital.
Although Eastern Lu was unwilling to admit it, he had to admit it. He had done a bad deed once again! He had actually handed over the Jiang family under the pressure of the Duke of Soaring Dragon, and he had released a powerful force that he could once pull onto his side.
After thinking about Princess Gouyu's words, Eastern Lu practically wanted to slap himself. The ruler of a kingdom was not even comparable to his sister, a woman, in terms of generosity and attitude.
“Has the capital city been in chaos?” Eastern Lu shook his head, calming himself down with great difficulty. “Jiang Chen's return is not necessarily bad! Although Jiang Chen and I are divided in heart and practice, there is no fear in that. Now that Jiang Chen had killed Long Yinye and Long Yi, forming a blood feud with Long Zhaofeng, the battle scene of the two tigers was unavoidable. If I can provide support from the shadows and add fuel to the fire so that they fight in chaos and darkness, I might still be able to profit without working for it!”
Eastern Lu began to make his calculations, plotting how he would benefit from this and how he would make Soaring Dragon and Jiang Han face each other.
“If Soaring Dragon wins, its vitality must still be very weak. I will then coordinate with the strength of the old geezer to make a strong move. I will definitely be able to make the other dukes submit and oppress the Soaring Dragon Duke.”
“If Jiang Chen's side wins, then I will use his well-treating strategy to win his heart. I will use Princess Gouyu or Ruo'er as bait and fence this person into the royal family. If she wanted to, I could even give Gouyu and Ruo'er to her, and ask my aunt and nephew to serve her as well. It's just, this problem can not be known to the public, I have to work from the shadows.”
Eastern Lu's thoughts became increasingly random and increasingly diverged from the right path.
When his mind floated here, his brows furrowed and he became even more cheerful. Jiang Chen's return made him even more comfortable.
Even if Jiang Chen could not win, as long as he could give enough time for the old geezer to emerge from closed door cultivation, everything would be fine.
