Chapter 1108 Sword 9 Yellow
Chapter 1108 Sword Nine Yellow
Three days.
After learning the news, the entire conference hall became much quieter.
Yu Huanglian did not insist on re-voting. She just coldly said that she would know the truth in three days, and walked out of the conference room first.
Following closely behind him were the owner of the Xuanwu Tower, Jellyfish Yin Ji, and the owner of the Qinglong Pavilion, Gongzi Yu.
Then there is the burly Yue Taigong.
The three adopted sons remained in the conference room, all looking at the patriarch of the Shanqing Huang family, Huang Shang.
"You're not leaving?" Yu Gucheng, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly asked.
Huang Shang first shook his head, then gestured outside the door with his eyes. With the eyesight of the three people present, they naturally saw that Yu Huanglian, who walked the fastest, had just stepped out of the palace gate and got into a carriage parked at the gate.
The toothless old servant guarding the carriage seemed to notice the gazes of the three people. He smiled, revealing his big yellow teeth, and nodded.
Then he drove away in the carriage.
"Master." Yu Gucheng withdrew his gaze with a serious expression.
His gaze fell on Huang Shang again.
Huang Shang nodded slightly, then took out a booklet with the chapter "Sword Jiuhuang: The Snowy Blade" written on it.
"Is he a member of your Huang family?"
"Yes, if we count the seniority, he is my third grandfather." Huang Shang handed the booklet to Yu Gucheng.
After Yu Gucheng finished reading it at a very fast speed, he also knew that this person was his destined body and was fully aware of the personality and experience of his original owner.
[Huang Zhentu, from "Snow Swordsman". A native of the fallen Western Shu, he was a groom of the Northern Liang Palace. He followed Xu Fengnian on his journey of three years and six thousand miles. He was a man of few words but could tell simple truths. Xu Fengnian once said that without him, he could not have traveled three years and six thousand miles.
Born as a blacksmith, he was a disciple of Sui Xiegu together with the Sword Emperor of Western Shu. He once fought against Xu Yanbing and used all eight swords to suppress him. He was called Jian Jiuhuang because he created the nine-style sword technique from Jian Yi to Jian Jiu.
The sword case on his back originally contained six of the ten most famous swords in the world. In his early years, he challenged Wang Xianzhi and left one of them, Huang Lu.
After returning to Beiliang, he defeated the white-haired Lao Kui and gave the Nine Swords Manual to Xu Fengnian, asking him to accept a disciple to protect him. He named the Nine Swords "Six Thousand Miles" to commemorate his three years of travel.
He went to Wudi City to challenge Wang Xianzhi again, and died in battle. All the famous swords in the box were left in Wudi City. He was one of the people who had the greatest influence on Xu Fengnian. Before his death, he stood upright, facing north, and left a last word: "Come, serve wine to the young master!".
He looked at Huang Shang again, his eyes already filled with a hint of confusion.
Huang Shang did not answer directly, but first turned his attention to Yu Yuanba.
Yu Yuanba snorted coldly, picked up the sledgehammer placed in the corner, and strode out of the palace. Ying Wuque followed closely behind him, leaving the last space only for Huang Shang and Yu Gucheng.
When everyone who was supposed to leave had left, Huang Shang took the initiative to speak:
"You have decided to unite with His Majesty the Third Prince, right?"
"She is the most suitable person to take charge of the palace."
Huang Shang was silent. He looked straight at Yu Gucheng, wanting to know the reason.
“My fourth brother is too reckless, my fifth brother has a shallow foundation, and I have no ambition to do this, so only when my third sister takes charge of the palace can the operation of the Wuwei Palace be restored to its original state. Especially in the current war period, if she becomes the new King of Wuwei, she can also attract a powerful reinforcement for us.
So she was the only choice.”
"Only." Huang Shang hesitated and sighed, "Maybe, but the Third Prince cannot make General Yue pledge allegiance to him."
"You should say that Yue Taigong is ignorant of the current situation and deliberately pushed out that jumping clown!" Yu Gucheng seemed to know nothing and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Or, after being a general for so long, he also wants to experience the taste of being a prince."
Huang Shang was silent. He did not continue the topic, but spoke.
"Jian Jiuhuang's behavior only represents himself. Our Shanqing Huang family is forever loyal to the Wuwei Palace only. Just like the choice made by the pharmacist, he also cannot represent the entire Huang family."
"At this critical stage, your Huang family still wants to take a neutral position?" Yu Gucheng glanced at Huang Shang again, obviously unable to understand his decision, because being neutral at this time also meant being unable to please both sides.
Huang Shang straightened his clothes and said seriously:
"The Second Prince mentioned a key word just now."
"what?"
"During the war, even though three major armies have been dispatched to the front to resist, the outbreak of internal troubles will also cause the morale of the three armies to drop. This is why the Huang family must remain neutral.
I have said that Shanqing Huang will always be loyal to the Wuwei Palace and will only be loyal to the King of Wuwei.
As for who the next King of Wuwei will be, it doesn’t matter.
However, as long as Shanqing Huang is not completely dragged into this civil strife, the Wuwei Palace will not encounter any accidents during the power transfer process.
This is also the responsibility of my Huang family."
Yu Gucheng took a deep look at the other person. At this moment, he saw only honesty in the eyes of this shrewd Huang clan leader.
The other party really thinks so.
Not caring about the so-called merit of following the dragon, or the choice of Huang Yaoshi and Jian Jiuhuang, has put the Huang family in an invincible position.
Even if you can't enjoy the most delicious piece of cake, some scraps will satisfy you.
"Have you expressed your opinion on this matter to them?" Yu Gucheng asked.
"Yes."
"Are they really going to let the Huang family off so easily and let you continue to stand neutral?"
".yes."
"Really?"
Yu Gucheng suddenly chuckled.
He had a very shallow understanding of Yu Huanglian, but through the meetings over the past two days, he was able to see some clues.
This true young master of the royal palace did not inherit his adoptive father's great talent and ambition at all.
She seemed to treat the entire Beixuanzhou Prefecture as a private toy that she should play with in her palm.
Instead, he would not think about the responsibilities he would have to shoulder after becoming the master of the palace, including how to communicate with Donghuang from the perspective of a native of the Mountain and Sea Realm and use it to gain greater benefits.
He believed that Yu Haitang must have considered and thought deeply about this.
That is why he spared no effort in supporting Yu Cangmiao, not only because he stood on Yu Cangmiao's side, but also because he was optimistic that Yu Haitang would not bury Yu Wushi's hard work after becoming the new King of Wuwei.
To be honest, his feelings towards his adoptive father were somewhat complicated.
The other party might have seen through the nature of these adopted sons under his command long ago, but he was confident that he could make full use of their talents. In fact, when he was still alive, no one, including Yu Gucheng, dared to act rashly.
It’s a pity that he never saw through that his daughter was a fool.
In other words, parents always have higher expectations for their children.
As a result, the few whetstones he left behind were destroyed by Yu Huanglian in the most unreasonable way, but she used them to sharpen her own talents and reach a higher level.
It was also because of his ruthless behavior that, in Yu Wushi's arrangement, his adopted sons, who should have been the other party's most capable assistants, turned out to be in a life-and-death relationship.
After all, there is already the precedent of Yu Canglan.
If the other party has the chance, they will never let go of these adopted sons who have good reputation and strength in the northern territory.
Then Yu Gucheng looked at the silent Huang Shang and said bluntly:
"As for your Huang family's choice, please contact my third sister directly through Huang Yaoshi. I will not make any decision on her behalf."
Huang Shang nodded. He noticed that Yu Gucheng was no longer interested in talking to him. When he was about to leave the palace, he suddenly said:
"There is a master beside Yue Taigong, who is Jian Jiuhuang's master. The two of them are also bound by fate as master and apprentice, so he must give him this face. Considering the family he relies on, this is also the only time he behaves willfully."
"You want me to spare his life?" Yu Gucheng raised his eyebrows.
From the other party's words, he confirmed the identity of the peeper last night, and found out that Jian Jiuhuang had some differences in character from his original owner. Otherwise, logically speaking, the other party should have directly stood on the side of Yu Huanglian for the sake of the master-disciple bond, and fought to the death until the last moment.
However, when he thought about the changes in his personality after being brainwashed by the terrible eight great families, Yu Gucheng didn't find it strange.
After all, not every destined body is completely consistent with the original owner.
Moreover, Yu Gucheng, who is also a destined body, knows better that what these people are greedy for is only the other party's life foundation. Those with a better mentality can regard it as living a second life, but some people are extremely resistant to this deep influence.
Without allowing the other party to continue explaining, Yu Gucheng said bluntly:
"You shouldn't be showing kindness to me. She is the one who can make the choice. Besides, we might be the losers in the end."
Huang Shang did not say anything else. He watched Yu Gucheng's figure disappear behind the palace gate and sighed softly.
On the other side, Yu Huanglian, who returned to Yue Taigong's residence, started another round of quarreling.
Three days, three days, three days! Three days! Three days!
It's like a tight hoop that binds them tightly.
Although it seems that she has currently dealt with all the forces in Wuwei City, this does not completely cover the entire Beixuan Prefecture, especially the statements of the other seven major military forces except Yue Taigong.
That is why she knew that no matter how willful and capricious she was, it would be difficult to directly cancel the meeting of the five adopted sons.
But if he wanted to change this pattern and take power, he couldn't think of a more appropriate and stable method with his brain capacity.
After all, her original plan was triggered by Yu Yuanba's poisoning in yesterday's meeting, and then Ying Wuque guessed most of it. If she continued to copy the plan, wouldn't she be admitting her guilt?
If the military knew that she had murdered Yu Canglan first and then secretly poisoned Yu Yuanba, she would definitely not be able to gain their support with such dirty and sinister means. In addition, it was wartime, so a mutiny was probably inevitable.
He might even tie himself up and send himself to the Great Xuan Dynasty that same day as a token of his allegiance.
This is not the result that Yu Huanglian wanted.
And vaguely she felt that once Yu Haitang returned, all the results might be decided.
"Uncle Yue, do you think it's possible that bitch could directly convene a meeting to vote, and then use it to take the position of the new King of Wuwei?" Yu Huanglian looked at Yue Taigong.
Yue Taigong was silent for a moment and nodded.
The other party's influence in the entire Beixuan Prefecture has reached the target. Although they have caused some public opinion disputes today to undermine the other party's reputation, the effect is not optimistic.
Because Yu Haitang has already accumulated a good reputation among the people with the help of the world's number one manor and huge financial resources. Its return now is just throwing out the long-prepared introduction.
If the other party returns to the palace later and directly convenes a meeting of the five adopted sons, the possibility of establishing his status as the legitimate successor is quite high, and the success rate is extremely high.
After all, Yu Gucheng has already made it clear that he supports the other party, and Ying Wuque seems to have become invisible again, but in the previous meeting, he also clearly stood on Yu Haitang's side. As for Yu Yuanba.
Originally, he might have been able to win over one or two of them, but because Yu Huanglian jumped out too early and attacked the authority of the Five Adopted Sons' Meeting today, he might have already aroused the hostility of the other party.
Therefore, once it is passed with a full vote, they will not be able to find a point of attack to refute or oppose it.
Fortunately, he had already thought of this outcome.
"There is another way. When the matter is settled, with the endorsement of the angel from outer space, plus your inherent advantage of identity, and me standing up to guarantee you, then the people of the Northern Territory can also accept this result.
Including the poisoning of the Fourth Prince and the inexplicable death of the First Prince, we can put the blame on the Second Prince and the Third Prince."
Yu Huanglian's eyes lit up; she liked this style of doing things.
"But the public opinion is here"
"As long as we make sure they are completely shut up, then other than a small number of diehard fans, there will be no need to worry about others."
"Just shut up. Hehehe." Yu Huanglian laughed happily, and her cheeks blushed inexplicably. She said in an increasingly excited tone, "Uncle Yue, only dead people can shut up completely, right?"
"Correct."
After receiving Yue Taigong's reply, Yu Huanglian seemed unable to stop laughing.
Hee hee hee!
Hahahaha!
Hahahahaha!
The increasingly wild and hysterical, shrill and loud laughter continued to echo in the hall.
Sui Xiegu, who had been hiding in the corner, glanced at Yu Huanglian, whose expression was distorted by extreme pleasure, and goose bumps rose unconsciously on his body.
He glanced at Yue Taigong secretly again.
The other person's expression remained calm, and only when his gaze stayed on Yu Huanglian, would a hint of doting appear in his calm eyes.
This strange atmosphere made his scalp tingle even more, so he decisively dived underground and came to the outside of the mansion.
The gap-toothed old servant was still sitting quietly in front of the carriage.
When he saw Sui Xiegu appear, his expression became more lively and flamboyant, and the smile on his face became more sincere.
Seeing this, Sui Xiegu sighed.
He didn't say anything, but just threw a wine gourd in his hand to the other party. After Jian Jiuhuang took the gourd, he pulled out the cork and took a deep sniff of the aroma of the wine in the gourd as if he was intoxicated.
He did not drink, but said:
"I am a swordsman. If I am not strong enough, it is only natural for me to die at the hands of others. Besides, I have long wanted to fight against those two swords."
"Drink quickly! You are not being used to comfort the ancestor." Sui Xiegu said in a seemingly dissatisfied tone.
Jian Jiuhuang chuckled and immediately raised the gourd to drink.
"Slow down, slow down, don't drink it all, one sip is enough."
Hearing the anxious voice in his ear, he took another big gulp, while Sui Xiegu sighed helplessly and disappointedly.
Looking at the other person's smile, he also smiled, because he understood what Jian Jiuhuang meant.
A sip of old wine, a sword, no more debt.
