Chapter 276 - From Heaven to Hell
This time, Yin Xu only brought Wang Ren and a few guards to Changshui County, the rest of the people were sent by him to Huo Zhengquan's place.
Wang Ren was young, although his movements were nimble and ruthless, he did not have much strength.
Yin Xu jumped down from the tree branch and walked towards him, and handed the remaining half of the snack to him, “You could have received fewer injuries, but your heart was too soft, only using 7 points when you should have used all your strength, and purposely slanted your body when you should have struck the killing target, if the opponent was a villain who wanted to take your life, then you are courting death.”
Wang Ren carried the bag of snacks and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, nodding his head: “Understood, Master.”
Yin Xu ignored the shocked eyes of the surrounding people and walked out of the street with his disciple. After a while, he heard a scream from behind: “Killed! “Hurry up and report this to the government!”
A few martial artists who were enjoying themselves in the building walked out drunkenly and checked the wounds of the guards. They clicked their tongues and said, “Stop screaming. He's not dead yet, yet.”
Yin Xu brought his little disciple away, and went to eat supper before returning to the county magistrate's office.
A good night passed, and early morning the next day, Yin Xu dressed up and took everyone to the Qiangan Mountains. Along the way, he met groups and groups of people from the martial arts world, and when he saw that Yin Xu only brought so few people, he really wanted to take this opportunity to kill him.
“This is what a true expert is like.”
“Do you really think that righteousness holds peace?”
Yin Xu ignored these martial artists who were eyeing him covetously, and climbed up the peak of the poor mountain with the mood to roam the mountains and swim in the water.
The poverty-stricken mountain was located on the west side of Changshui County. It was a very high altitude, and the mountain peak was covered with snow all year round. It was a wonder of Changshui County.
Another of the great wonders of the poor mountain was that the main peak was covered by a huge platform that didn't even grow. It was said to have been carved by a peerless expert hundreds of years ago, so this place was also a place to pay homage to the ancestors.
In the morning, a group of people gathered in all directions. A sect like Young Master Lin Wudang had never participated in any battles against the Alliance Master before, but every time, he would be invited to be a judge.
Qing Xiaoyan stood up and walked to the center of the stage, “Everyone, don't speak anymore nonsense, everyone is clear about the rules, and only remember one thing, as martial artists, you must not go overboard. If someone has malicious intent, you must immediately go down the mountain!”
Yin Xu reclined on a soft chair, while Wang Ren sat on the side and stared intently at the stage, observing every single move.
Everyone was curious as to why he had accepted Wang Ren as his disciple. He was too old, and his innate ability was mediocre, so it was not the best choice.
Other than seeing that he had the talent to learn Formation Techniques, Yin Xu had taken a fancy to his heart. Back then, if he could survive in the bandit's nest, then his perseverance would be extraordinary.
Today's competition was between the disciples of various sects, Yin Xu took a few glances and lost all interest, his thoughts floated to the Third Prince Mansion, he wondered about the situation in the capital, and whether Teng Yu could care about it.
Han Qing hurriedly entered, without waiting for the servants to leave, he reported: “Your Highness, news has come from the palace, Fourth Prince is severely ill.”
“What disease?”
“I heard it's smallpox!” Han Qing's expression was stern, and whispered: “Is there a problem with this? The emperor has already ordered people to search for the source of the illness in the palace.
“Is the palace in chaos?”
“That's not true, but the imperial palace is under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. The emperor had just ordered for 10,000 people to be deployed from the Capital Camp to guard the palace gates.”
“He must have sensed it.” Teng Yu knew that this Royal Father was definitely not a mediocre person, otherwise he would not have stood out among the numerous brothers.
Just as Teng Yu was about to ask about the movements of the First Prince and Yun Family, he heard someone report from outside, “Your Highness, the Emperor has recruited you into the palace.”
“Your Highness, you can't go!” Han Qing stopped Teng Yu, “Since the emperor has sensed it, then calling for Your Highness to enter the palace now is definitely not a good thing.”
“Don't worry, he's only doing it as a precaution. If something really happens, you have to act according to the plan.”
“But your subordinate fears that you will be in danger in the palace.” If the Third Prince were to fall into the hands of the Emperor or the First Prince, then no matter how perfect their plan was, it would be useless.
“Even if the palace is like a dragon's lagoon or a tiger's lair, if this prince wants to run, no one can stop me.”
Teng Yu changed his clothes and followed the servant into the palace. Just as he exited, he saw that the First Prince had also come out.
Arriving at the palace gate, Teng Yu saw that the number of guards were indeed several times more than normal.
The news of the Fourth Prince's serious illness shouldn't have spread, so the Emperor's sealing of the Imperial Palace inevitably caused the officials to panic.
Seeing Teng Yu and Yue Shan coming over, the officials outside the palace finally heaved a sigh of relief and asked: “Your Highness, what happened inside the palace? This old official has urgent matters to report to Your Majesty. “
Teng Yi's face revealed a smile, “Don't ask about the matters in the palace. Royal Father not seeing you all is naturally an important matter, if Master has any urgent matters, you can discuss it with the Prime Minister.”
When the two princes entered the palace, they were immediately brought to the imperial harem. Since the Fourth Prince was still young, the emperor had allowed the Consort Rong to personally raise them. However, I heard that most of the time, the Fourth Prince was brought to the Bedroom Hall by the emperor.
Even the Third Prince did not enjoy this honor back then.
Just as Teng Yu stepped into the gate, a piece of paperweight flew over, he tilted his head and dodged, while the Young Eunuch behind him suffered a seedling, and his head was struck with two bloody holes.
“What happened to Royal Father? You can't get angry like this. ” Teng Yu calmly walked forward with the First Prince following closely behind him with a calm expression.
The emperor smashed something towards them with a wave of his hand and bellowed, “Speak, who did this? Do you really think that I, an old man, am being manipulated by others? “
Teng Yu looked at him in shock, “Royal Father, what do you mean by that? Your son has been in the manor for the past few days and hasn't done anything at all. “
The First Prince bowed deeply and said in an aggrieved manner, “Royal Father, this son doesn't know what you're talking about either. But what happened in the palace?”
The Emperor was so angry that he gasped for breath, making a sound like a bellows breaking out from his throat.
“Men, bring the two princes next door to see their royal brother!” The Emperor ordered in a low voice, his face filled with killing intent.
“Your Majesty, you can't …” Fourth Prince is … “What if it spreads to the two of you?” The attendant was so frightened that he kowtowed.
When he said that, the emperor's anger flared up even more. He shouted for someone to drag this servant out and kill him!
“Eat something other than the inside!” It's not worth dying for! ” The emperor violently coughed a few times before being escorted by his two princes.
This was the first time Teng Yu had seen his Fourth Brother. A child who was almost a year old looked young, and his face was covered with chicken pox. He looked very ugly, but it was unknown who he looked like.
The servants in the room were all trembling with fear and trepidation as they watched the imperial physicians quarrel until their faces and ears turned red.
Consort Rong was sitting far away at the side. Her face was covered with a cloth, probably because she had cried before, and her eyes were red and swollen.
But even so, it didn't change the fact that she was afraid of death.
Of course, there was no one who wasn't afraid of death. It was said that in a single night, over a dozen people had died within the palace. Once someone was infected, they would immediately be killed.
The First Prince hesitated at the door before walking in. “Ladies and gentlemen, how is Fourth Brother?”
The imperial physicians were shocked when they saw the two princes entering the room, while Imperial Physician Li was even more so frightened as he glanced at Teng Yu repeatedly.
“Your highnesses don't dare to come in, hurry up and go out! What if you get infected? ” As subjects, they had no choice but to risk their lives to diagnose the situation. However, the other party was a prince, so how could they take such a risk?
The Consort Rong chuckled, and said sinisterly: “It must be His Majesty's orders for all of you to come, right? Hmph, if not, how could the two of you have the kind heart to come visit your younger brother? “
Imperial Physician Li didn't pay any attention to her. He ordered his disciple to give the two princes gloves and a mask. After giving a few warnings on ways to guard themselves, he returned to the debate.
Actually, everyone knew that the Fourth Prince was hopeless, but with the emperor's high regard for the Fourth Prince, even if the Fourth Prince didn't kill them, they would still die with him.
“I heard that there will be some unconventional methods in the civil society. Why don't I get someone to post a bounty?” I might be able to find a way to save Fourth Brother. ” The First Prince said with concern.
The Consort Rong suddenly stood up. “Right, I'm going to look for prescriptions from the people. You imperial doctors are all idiots! They are here to harm us, mother and son! I don't believe you! “
As she spoke, she was about to rush out to find the Emperor, but before she could reach the entrance, she was stopped. “Empress, the Emperor has ordered that you are not allowed to leave this room. You must treat His Highness as a priority!”
Consort Rong slapped him and shouted, “You dog slave, scram! You must also want my son to die! I want to see the Emperor! “
“Empress, if you have anything to say, then this servant will help you pass it on. Even if you exit through this door, you won't be able to see the Emperor.”
“Alright, then hurry and report this to the emperor! Have the emperor place a notice on a famous doctor that rewards the citizens!” My son must not die! He will not die! “
The First Prince looked at the woman and the corners of his mouth curled up indistinctly. Back then, when this woman was feeling proud, he had thought of letting her have a taste of heaven and hell.
Teng Yu's gaze fell upon the little infant on the bed. Listening to his ear-piercing wail, it was as if he remembered that when his mother had passed away, he had also cried like this.
