When Yang Tiexin and the other two arrived beside Lu Zhanyuan and the others, they realized that they had been surrounded and had nowhere else to go. However, Lu Zhanyuan did not care about the current situation. Instead, he took advantage of the time when these people came to divert everyone's attention and began to quietly circulate his inner breath to recuperate from his injuries.
Huang Rong could tell that Lu Zhanyuan was healing his wounds, so she held the Emei Thorn to protect him. Guo Jing stood nervously in front of Lu Zhanyuan.
Everyone stood still, but they saw that Bao Xiruo had a cut on her head. Blood was flowing out from her face. Presumably, it was Yang Kang (Wanyan Kang knew his background, so he was called Yang Kang from now on) who didn't want to acknowledge his father. She was so angry that she bumped into him.
When that Wanyan Honglie saw his beloved woman was injured, he hurriedly shouted,"Xi Ruo, are you alright?" "Your Highness, I know that my husband is not dead, so I'm afraid I can't stay in the Prince's mansion." I can only repay your kindness in my next life.”
"Mom! Are you crazy? This is your husband! He's also my father!" Not waiting for Wanyan Honglie to reply, Yang Kang shouted loudly.
"Kang 'er, are you still not going to acknowledge your biological father? You can ask his highness if he is your biological father.”Bao Xiruo was sorrowful and pointed at Wanyan Honglie.
Yang Kang looked at Wanyan Honglie questioningly. Wanyan Honglie's face was awkward, but he said,"Kang 'er, do you still need to ask about our relationship as father and son?”How could Yang Kang not see that what he said was not true? His heart was already thunderstruck as he stood there helplessly.
Wanyan Honglie knew that he already knew his background, so he said in pain,"Kang 'er, for the past eighteen years, father has treated you like his own son. He has long treated you as his own son. When father ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely pass the throne to you.”
Yang Kang struggled a few times. Hearing Wanyan Honglie say this, his eyes became ruthless and said,"Father, of course I will always be your son.”He turned to Bao Xiruo and shouted," Mom, come here quickly. My father is here. That's not my father!"”
"Xiruo, come back. After so many years of love, are you so heartless as to leave me?”Wanyan Honglie also said.
"No, wangye, since I already know that my husband is not dead, I will go to the ends of the earth for him.”Bao Xiruo shook his head.
Wanyan Honglie still wanted to say something when he heard Lu Zhanyuan's voice,"Haha…Interesting! Now is such a painful and difficult time to make a decision. It's the best time to tell a story. Let me tell you a story.”After a short period of healing, Lu Zhanyuan's injuries had been completely suppressed. He only needed to go back and recuperate.
In his heart, he hated Wanyan Hong Lie for instigating his subordinates to besiege him. He also couldn't bear to see him hypocritically playing the sad card, so he suddenly spoke. The crowd did not know what Lu Zhanyuan was up to, but they did not dare to object under his threat.
Lu Zhanyuan ignored everyone's doubts and continued,""Once upon a time, there was a very important official who was injured in a war with the foreign tribes. As a result, he fled to a village and hid in the firewood shed of a household. Unexpectedly, the mistress of the house found out. The mistress had just become a woman. Not only was she very beautiful, but she was also kind-hearted. Therefore, not only did she not give up the official, but she also did her best to block the search army for him. After that, she took good care of the official until he recovered.
As the saying went, it was the hardest to enjoy the grace of a beauty. The high-ranking official had unknowingly fallen in love with this beautiful and kind-hearted woman who was already married. In order to get her, he had tried his best to use the hands of others to harm the woman's family. However, he had appeared at the critical moment to save the woman. He thought that as long as he killed the woman's husband and when the woman was alone and helpless, he would take advantage of the situation to bring the beauty home.
As it turned out, his plan was very successful. The woman was kept in the dark all along. She thought that the official was her only pillar of support, and because she was pregnant, she could not support herself. She really married the official. However, no one expected that the woman's husband would escape from the pursuit and find her again eighteen years later.”
Hearing Lu Zhanyuan's words, Bao Xiruo's entire body trembled. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared at Wanyan Honglie. Wanyan Honglie's expression changed greatly. Yang Tiexin looked at Bao Xiruo in agony. He had finally found the source of all this suffering, but it was better not to know.
Everyone saw the expressions on their faces and understood why Lu Zhanyuan suddenly wanted to tell a story. They all guessed that the high official Lu Zhanyuan was talking about was the current King, the beautiful woman was the current Princess Consort, and the man who had escaped death was the middle-aged man in front of them.
Wanyan Honglie had long lost his sense of propriety. At this time, he shouted,"You're spouting nonsense!" This question was no different from admitting that the high-ranking official Lu Zhanyuan was referring to was him. Yang Kang also shouted,"Don't spread lies to confuse the masses!"”
Lu Zhanyuan ignored their shouts and continued to laugh.""Haha…what's even more ridiculous is that after that woman gave birth to her ex-husband's child, she never told the child about his true identity. Instead, she indulged him, causing the child to covet wealth and splendor after he grew up and refuse to acknowledge his biological father.
In the end, it's not that child's fault. If it were me, I'd always thought that I was the son of a high-ranking official and had been pampered since I was young. I'm afraid I wouldn't acknowledge some biological father who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. After all, on one side was a rich and powerful official who had been considered his biological father since he was young, while on the other side was a poor drifter who had never had any feelings for him.”
"Nonsense! This is not real!" Yang Kang suddenly roared like a madman.
"Hehe…can't you tell if I'm talking nonsense?”Lu Zhanyuan pursed his lips in disdain.
Yang Kang turned his doubtful gaze to Wanyan Honglie. However, Wanyan Honglie's face was dark. He asked Lu Zhanyuan in a gloomy manner,"This king concedes that this matter was done very secretly. How did you know?”
"Ah? I don't know. Did I say that the high-ranking official was you? Hehe…I just saw you guys fighting here, so I made a casual guess from your words. Aiya, I didn't expect you to really do this. I thought that I was the most despicable person in this world. I didn't expect there to be another one.”Lu Zhanyuan pretended to be baffled and said as if he had found a confidant.
"You!" Wanyan Honglie was fuming with anger. His finger trembled as he pointed at Lu Zhanyuan. His expression changed several times in an instant before he finally calmed down and said to Bao Xiruo,"That's right. I did all of this. Back then, this king loved you deeply, but you insisted on not accepting this king, so I had no choice but to use this method. Everything I did was because I loved you!”
Bao Xiruo shook her head and muttered,""This isn't real, this isn't real!”Without another word, she whimpered and fainted in Yang Tiexin's arms. Yang Tiexin was filled with hatred. He looked at Wanyan Honglie with rising anger and said,"What a thief! You and I are irreconcilable!"
Just as Yang Tiexin handed Bao Xiruo to Mu Nianci and was about to take his spear and fight Wanyan Honglie to the death. Suddenly, clang…There was another sound of footsteps outside the courtyard. A team of archers quickly rushed into the courtyard and formed two rows in front of Wanyan Hong Lie. They all loaded their bows and pointed at the people here.
Everyone was shocked. All the people in the martial world knew that no matter how high your martial arts were, you could not withstand the arrows of the archers in the army. Lu Zhanyuan was no longer relaxed and began to anxiously think of countermeasures.
