The man in rich clothes said face to face with a sad expression on his face, as if he was waiting for the other party to ask questions.

Yun Tianyu slightly loosened the nails that were dug into his flesh and took a deep breath: "Does Mr. Hou know who killed my second brother?"

"Chen Gang, currently the great elder of the Chenwu Sect's Zhanwu Hall." The man surnamed Bai had been observing Yun Tianyu's expression, and a hint of joy slowly faded deep in his eyes.

"Chen Gang?" Yun Tianyu's face suddenly turned purple, and his relaxed fists clenched again. His expression struggled several times: "Master Hou, do you know why Chen Gang, who is the great elder of the Chenwu Sect, wants to kill me?"

elder brother?"

"I don't know about this for now. I heard from people who rushed to attend the Xifan Conference that day that Yunwuwei and his party and many soldiers were suffering from dampness because they were in southern Xinjiang, so they rushed to the Chenwu Dazong to seek treatment. After all, the Chenwu Dazong

The closest to southern Xinjiang.”

"Suffering from damp disease? Although the autumn atmosphere in southern Xinjiang is a bit colder, with my second brother's physique, he will never suffer from damp disease. There must be something fishy about it!" Yun Tianyu took over the position of his brother Wu Wei.

He even went to Southern Xinjiang in person. On the one hand, he naturally wanted to find out the cause of his brother's death; on the other hand, he wanted to serve the Nanli royal family. He also knew the climate of Southern Xinjiang very well.

"I don't know the twists and turns in this. On that day when Yunwuwei went up the mountain, my nephew Bai Wenwei had just been promoted to a disciple of the outer sect of the Chenwu Sect. He participated in the grand meeting of the world cleansing that day, and even expelled Chen Gang and Yunwuwei and his party: neither

After treatment, the group was shot down the mountain..." The man in the Chinese suit was most afraid that Yun Tianyu would continue to pursue Nanjiang Qi, so he recounted what happened at Xifan Pavilion that day.

I don’t know if Bai Wenwei saw it in person, but with his thunderous methods against the outer sect disciples after he was promoted to an inner sect disciple, it is not difficult to know what happened that day.

"Chen Gang, are you so vicious that you drove my brother to death?" Yun Tianyu held the jade accessory on his robe in his hand, moved his fingers lightly, and made several chirping sounds, until the jade accessory was broken into pieces in his palm.

powder.

"Tianyu, don't be angry yet. Although I don't know everything about your brother, I know a little bit about it."

When Yun Tianyu saw what he said, he turned his head and looked at the man surnamed Bai. The fierceness in his eyes had not diminished, as if he was still angry at Chen Gang's domineering behavior.

"According to what my nephew said, something fishy happened when Yun Wuwei and his party went up the mountain that day. They didn't seem to be really sick, but they seemed to have been tricked by a traitor."

"Who did it?"

"Hehe, if I had known, I would have helped my brother to avenge me long ago. We have gone through nearly four generations since my ancestor, Duke De. In such a long period of time, your Yun family's affairs are my Bai family's affairs.

, why do we need to separate you and me?" The man in the gorgeous clothes said this with indignation, and Yun Tianyu couldn't help but turned his head again and looked at the man in front of him.

"Since Lord Marquis doesn't know, then Yun should leave now. The Chenwu clan owes me the money of the Yun clan, and I will go and get it back." After Yun Tianyu finished speaking, he walked towards the door without looking back.

For some reason, whenever he faced the man in front of him, he always felt a vague feeling of disgust.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the man in gorgeous clothes laughed and said: "Brother Tianyu, don't be so open-minded. If you want to target the Chenwu Sect, Brother Yu will accompany you. It deceives me and there is no one in Nanli. Although we are not as good as cultivators."

The cultivation of Yuanli that conquers the creation of heaven and earth, but if you and I join forces, we can also make it suffer a huge loss of vitality."

"I think it's better not to trouble the Marquis. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to the imperial court to resume my duties." Yun Tianyu didn't stop any longer and walked faster downstairs. He quickly passed by the counter downstairs and was about to reach the door.

.

"Brother Tianyu, you should listen to my words. If you, the Bai family, don't have my help, I'm afraid you will implicate many people in the clan. The matter of Yunwuwei has also implicated some secrets of the imperial court!" The man surnamed Bai stood up.

Upstairs, he spoke from a distance.

Since Yun Tianyu came in, the shopkeeper had already sent away the regular customers who were still drinking, and had been waiting at the counter for a long time, declining all customers. At this time, there was no one around, so the man in rich clothes spoke unobstructedly.

There was a bit of struggle on Yun Tianyu's face, and the man named Bai waved his hand to the shopkeeper, indicating him to close the door. He did not avoid the people in the lion hall, quickly walked down to the attic, and sat down at a square table: "Tianyu

Brother, your brother Tiannan’s matter is not

It seems so simple on the surface. Not long after Chen Gang killed everyone who went up the mountain to seek treatment that day, he reported the matter to the imperial court. I'm afraid it was not a trivial matter. If not for his status as a large official, he would not have had a hard time with a civilian military chief.

"

"What on earth did my brother commit?" Yun Tianyu was intercepted by this man several times, and he was already angry.

"If my men and the people in the Lion Hall do not report mistakes, your brother has asked for orders to guard the southern border and has already made his own plans." The man surnamed Bai said with bright eyes: "After the old emperor grew old, the child emperor succeeded to the throne. Although this young emperor

He is still young, but his heart is very deep."

Without waiting for Yun Tianyu to ask questions, he continued: "He has been in power for four years. Since the second year, he has selected strong men from the many military guards in Nanli to enhance the strength of the military guards. Among them, the military guards in various places have been reduced, except for those who have not been implicated.

, it’s just you, Yunshi.”

The man in rich clothes took a sip of the ginseng soup that the shopkeeper asked the servant to serve, and spoke slowly: "The Yun family assisted me, the Bai family, to ascend the throne, and made immortal contributions in suppressing the rebellion during the turmoil. All the forces in the Huang Dynasty were implicated in each other.

.The new emperor knew that he was going to break up

It was extremely difficult to overthrow the Yun family, so he gradually strengthened his control over many military and defensive families involved with the Yun family. Your brother is a smart man. He knows that if he stays in the imperial city, he will not care about his position as a marquis. I am afraid that he will not even be able to protect his family and life.

....”

"Humph! My Yun family is loyal, and the world can learn from it!" Yun Tianyu heard what the other party said so decently, and couldn't help but complain about the new emperor.

"Of course no one doubts your Yun family's loyalty. The one who doubts you Yun family is the young emperor. If you ask me to die, how can I not die?" With a smile, the man in rich clothes took another elegant sip of ginseng tea:

"The reason why your brother Tian Nan took the initiative to ask Ying to guard Southern Xinjiang was, firstly, to be careful of his doubts; secondly, he already had second thoughts. In the past two years, he has been traveling across Southern Xinjiang and has gathered many military guards together.

Something happened."

"No, how is it possible?" Yun Tianyu reached out and stroked his forehead: "I, the Yun family, have all the power. I have been working for your Bai family for more than a hundred years, so why do I still have such doubts?"

"Hehe, this is the emperor. People have no desire to kill tigers. Tigers can hurt others. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Not to mention that your Yun family is so powerful?"

"No, I have to rush to the imperial city and figure out the joints one by one. The suspicion of the young emperor is completely groundless. I can't watch the Yun family's loyalty for a hundred years only to end up with a ruined reputation and a ruined family." Yun

Although Tianyu still stood stubbornly, he had reached out to hold the table and chair beside him, and he was about to lose his standing.

The man surnamed Bai stood up slowly: "Don't be stupid. If the young emperor believed in you, Yun, how could the imperial court lead troops to go out? The final outcome was that he died for no reason, and the imperial court even said a few words

If you don't tell me, you don't care about the life and death of your Yun family?"

Every word he spoke was heart-breaking. Cold sweat dripped down Yun Tianyu's forehead.

"Now if you, the Yun Sect, want to have a chance of survival, you can only work with me." The man in the rich clothes saw the other party's expression in his eyes. The other party was in chaos, which was a good time for him to take action.

"That's not true. I, the Yun family, have been guarding Nanli for hundreds of years, and yet I ended up like this just because of the young emperor's suspicion. I don't believe it!" Yun Tianyu slowly raised his head and suddenly smiled miserably: "You said that to me.

, do you think I will believe you?"

"You and the Bai family are all the same. I am attached to you. How is it different from my ancestors who wished the Bai family to win Nanli?" His face was distorted, his breathing was like a cow, and he was already in chaos.

"It's different. If you and I are of the same mind, I can leave a will for your Yun family before I die to ensure that you, the Yun family, will not be implicated in the slightest when I, the Bai family, come to power." The man in the rich clothes thought in his mind.

My thoughts turned quickly, and I finally gave this answer.

"But I, the Yun family, can't bear the trouble anymore." Yun Tianyu staggered, his expression was withered, he kept backing up, and he was about to fall to the ground: "After you, the Bai family, can control the world, it is no different than a cud dog.

If that piece of testament works, how can the promise that your Bai family made to my Yun family turn into ashes after hundreds of years of prosperity?"

At this time, Li Long and his party were standing quietly on the attic, silently looking at the two people talking to each other in the restaurant downstairs. They had a new understanding of the Marquis who was indifferent to emotions and anger.

‘This man is not only good at scheming, but he is probably also good at things like chickens crowing and dogs stealing. The death of Yun Tiannan is probably related to him.’ Everyone was worried and could only watch everything in front of them quietly.

"Well, since you, the Yun family, are determined to go to the road of death, I can't do anything about it. However, if you, the Yun family, are eventually suspected by the young emperor and are called my enemies, let alone the Nanli Dynasty, I am afraid that the entire Nanli family

Even the wilderness cannot tolerate your Yun clan. That’s what happened to Xia You and his family when they escaped from the Southern Wilderness and hunkered down in the Western Alliance!"

"Sure enough, this old fox finally showed his tail. This preparation with both soft and hard hands really made it impossible for people to escape." Li Long felt clear in his heart.

Without waiting for Yun Tianyu's answer, the man surnamed Bai continued: "Besides, I am not very talented, but I have found some evidence of your brother Yun Tiannan's rebellion. The evidence in my hand is enough to punish you, the Yun clan, and all nine clans!"

"You..." Yun Tianyu's teeth trembled, recalling that ever since he entered this wine shop, he had fallen into the other party's trap step by step. However, the other party's words were false and true, making it impossible to distinguish.

The fact that the young emperor reduced the Nanli Military Guards was a fact, and he couldn't help but deny it. Yun Tianyu, who grew up in a favorable environment, had it not been for his brother Yun Tiannan's accident, he might have been isolated in Nanli all his life.

Within the imperial city, he interacted with a group of officials and disciples he liked or disliked, rode horses, shot at clouds, hunted, and went to banquets and fights with birds.

However, as the young emperor was promoted and allowed him to regain the power of his elder brother, the Chief of Military Guards, these dandy habits were gradually peeled off from him, and his character became increasingly resolute, gradually taking on the character of his elder brother.

His thoughts were ups and downs, and Yun Tianyu waited until the troubles in his chest gradually disappeared, and then he raised his head and looked directly at the man named Bai.

The other party didn't mind, he walked over with a smile, and handed a cup of ginseng tea prepared by the young man to Yun Tianyu: "The best Nanli ginseng, I have no chance to see the treasures that are tribute to the royal family, so I will go to Hua Shao in person."

During the imperial dynasty, dozens of plants were collected and kept as treasures."

Yun Tianyu hesitated for a long time, and was about to reach out to take it. Unexpectedly, the man in the attire shook his hand, and a cup of fine ginseng tea immediately fell to the ground. The man in the attire immediately smiled and said, "Sorry, my hand slipped."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand towards the young man: "Go and help my brother Tianyu get another cup." Seeing the young man leaving, the man surnamed Bai said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Right now, your Yun family is holding this cup of ginseng tea for me.

In the hands of my nephew, it will fall apart if you are not careful. I advise you to think about it deeply!"

Yun Tianyu showed a bit of anger on his face, but he couldn't get angry in front of this man. He pondered for half a cup of tea: "What do you need me to do, Mr. Yun, please tell me clearly?"

"Haha, I have known for a long time that Brother Tianyu and I are of the same sect, but now the young emperor relies on the Xi clan who can only speak. Even the two deputy chiefs of the Wushen Guard, one is from the Xi clan, and the other is

That old fox Xishu’s disciple.” Man surnamed Bai

There was a frightening light in his eyes: "What you have to do is to stand still these days. In two years, the Chief of Military Guard will return to the palace and resume his duties. At that time, I will clear all the barriers for you, and you will lead the elites in front."

, the troops pressed back and attacked Nanli Imperial City."

"This..." Yun Tianyu struggled with his expression. This disobedient thing would never happen in his Yun clan.

"There is nothing to hesitate. My nephew has a ruthless mind. If we don't kill him completely, you and the Yun family will not be the only ones to die. I'm afraid that even me and others will be punished by then. For this plan, we have to take action.

"Don't hesitate!" The man in white looked gloomy and looked up in the direction of the palace.

The boy brought the ginseng tea, but Yun Tianyu was not in the mood to drink it anymore. He walked out of the wine shop and rushed towards the inner part of the imperial city with his mind wandering.

As for the Zhushi who stayed in the wine shop, the man surnamed Bai gave some instructions, and then hundreds of military guards emerged from the wine shop. After dividing the elixirs evenly, he led them through the lanes of the imperial city overnight and out of the city.
