Although Yu Tian was already prepared, he did not know that the King was like this. Could it be that the King was worried that no one could deal with Yellow Tiger Immortal?
"Ruler, are you worried about that Yellow Tiger Immortal?" Yu Tian asked.”
The old King sighed and said," What an injustice! The calamity of the heavens isn't entirely due to the chaos of foreign countries. It's mainly due to internal strife!”
"What is it? Internal strife?" Yu Tian exclaimed. He had never thought that there would be internal strife in Tianwei Country when nothing major had happened recently. At this moment, everyone in Tianwei was terrified by the loss of five mountains at the southern border.
The old king looked excited and not surprised at all. He let Yu Tian sit down first and sat on the ancient stool. He tightened his clothes and looked at the soft light in front of him. His eyes revealed a nostalgic look as he said,"This matter has to start from forty years ago!”
"Forty years ago?" Yu Tian frowned. Wasn't this the time when the current ruler ascended the throne?
Yu Tian did not interrupt. He listened attentively to the Ruler's words. Forty years ago, the current ruler, who was ranked third, was only twenty years old. The previous ruler only had three sons. The eldest prince died young, leaving behind the second and third princes.
The Second Prince had been intelligent and knowledgeable since he was young. He had many followers and was appreciated by the previous King. However, he had not made up his mind to become the Crown Prince. At that time, the courtiers all thought that the Second Prince's seniority was above the Third Prince's, and his knowledge was even higher. The position of Crown Prince was none other than him.
However, the current ruler was not as talented as the Second Prince at that time. Instead, he often accompanied the previous ruler, taking care of his body and performing some filial piety as a son.
When the previous King passed away, the Second Prince was at the border all year round and did not return. The previous King only had the current King by his side.
Three days later, the Second Prince returned to the capital. At this time, the courtiers announced that the previous King had arranged for the next King to be the Third Prince. At that time, although the Second Prince did not erupt, he had buried a hidden danger. It was not until 40 years later that this hidden danger erupted.
After all, the Second Prince believed that he was above the Third Prince in terms of knowledge and seniority. Why did his father pass the throne to the Third Prince? He couldn't help but suspect that this imperial edict was the Third Prince's.
Yu Tian quietly listened to the old country ruler and didn't say anything. He didn't think that this internal strife was a matter of the royal family's struggle. This kind of situation had happened in every dynasty. After all, people were ambitious and yearned to climb up the ladder.
After the old King finished speaking, he looked at Yu Tian and said,""Duke Yu disappeared for no reason and I didn't go to greet him. Please forgive me. I didn't want to go because I was under house arrest!”This time, the old King finally spoke his mind. The King of a generation was actually under house arrest.
"House arrest? " Could it be…" Yu Tian looked at the old King but did not continue.
"That's right. All the important matters in the court are presided over by second brother. The guards outside the hall are also second brother's trusted aides.”After the old King finished speaking, he had a helpless expression. He looked at Yu Tian from the corner of his eyes to see how he would react.
Yu Tian couldn't help but feel that things were getting worse. The guards around the Ruler had been changed. No wonder the guard was so rude and knocked on the door with such force.
Yu Tian pondered for a while, then suddenly stood up, knelt down, and said respectfully,""Ruler, do you have a plan? Yu Tian is willing to protect the ruler with his life!”
The Ruler hurriedly helped Yu Tian up and said,""Please rise, dear minister. I do have some ideas, but…?”As the Country Ruler spoke, he looked at Yu Tian.
Yu Tian looked at him, lowered his head, and cupped his hands,""Please speak, Ruler. Yu Tian will do his best!”
"I hereby thank Minister Yu!" The Country Ruler's tears flowed down as he suddenly wanted to kneel down to Yu Tian.
Yu Tian hurriedly helped the country ruler up and said: " Country Ruler, you can't, you can't. Country Ruler, it's getting late. It's better to quickly tell me your plan!"”
………………
At midnight, snowflakes began to drift in the sky. Quietly, the snowflakes grew larger and larger, filling the sky. In a trance, it became a white world. The originally pitch-black night suddenly became brighter.
In the capital of Tianwei, a black-robed man nimbly and quickly passed through the eaves. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared at the end of the road.
In the Yu Family's main hall, Xiao Yu was not asleep at this time. She was pacing back and forth in the main hall, her hands constantly crossing in front of her chest. Her eyes would occasionally look at the heavy snow falling outside the room, and her face was full of distress. Yu Tian had already left for eight hours, but he had yet to return.
"Xiao Yu, why aren't you sleeping yet?”A voice came from outside the room. Immediately after, a black shadow instantly appeared in front of Xiao Yu. It was Yu Tian, who was heading to the palace.
" Young Master, you're finally back!" When Xiao Yu saw Yu Tian return, she went forward in surprise and helped him to pat off the snowflakes on his hands, not to help him take off his night clothes. However, Yu Tian had a sword in his hand, and he also complained and placed the sword on the table.
"Xiao Yu, why aren't you sleeping yet? The weather is so cold, what if you catch a cold?”Yu Tian grumbled.
Xiao Yu took off Yu Tian's night clothes and put on a leather coat that she had prepared earlier. She pulled Yu Tian and ran into the house with an excited expression.
"Xiao Yu, what's wrong?" Yu Tian asked hurriedly. What happened at home?"
"Young Master, follow me!" Xiao Yu turned around and glanced at Yu Tian.
Yu Tian followed Xiao Yu to the bedroom. Xiao Yu, who had been unhappy for a few days, seemed to be very happy today, but there was still a trace of sadness between her brows.
"Creak ~~"
The sound of the door opening was heard. Xiao Yu stood at the door and gestured for Yu Tian to enter. Yu Tian was a little blurry. Wasn't this the guest room at home? Could it be that someone had come to the house?
Yu Tian entered the room and saw the person sleeping on the bed. He was stunned. That person was sleeping soundly on the bed. It was the person he had not seen for many days and was rumored to have been defeated by Yellow Tiger Immortal, the 'Killing God' Lu Wang!
"Master Lu!"
Yu Tian ran up excitedly to the bed and looked at Lu Wang, who was sleeping soundly. At this moment, Lu Wang was sound asleep, covered with a thick blanket.
At this moment, Xiao Yu also entered the room. She looked at Yu Tian with a smile. Yu Tian turned around and asked curiously,""Xiao Yu, what's going on?”
"Young Master, let's talk outside. Don't disturb Big Brother Lu's rest!"”As he spoke, he turned around and walked out.
Yu Tian nodded and followed Xiao Yu out. He then closed the door and hurriedly asked,""Xiao Yu, what happened to Master Lu?”
Xiao Yu looked at Yu Tian and lowered her head,""Young Master, actually, I don't know what happened to Brother Lu either. Two hours ago, Big Brother Lu suddenly appeared at home in black and was seriously injured!”
" He's wearing black and is heavily injured!" Yu Tian frowned. Could it be that the other black-robed man in the palace was Master Lu? But why did he also want to enter the palace? Yu Tian didn't know that his disappearance wasn't his intention.
"How is Master Lu's injury now?”Yu Tian asked with concern.
"Brother Lu's external injuries are fine now. I've applied the Golden Wound Medicine on him, but he seems to have suffered serious internal injuries.”Xiao Yu's eyes carried a trace of sorrow as she spoke.
"This doesn't matter. Protecting your life is more important. Your internal injuries and cultivation can be recovered!”Yu Tian consoled. As long as a person was still alive, anything could happen again.
"Young Master, how about you go to the palace? Have you seen the Ruler?"
"The country ruler has seen it, but Tianwei is now in danger. Xiao Yu, you rest first. I will go and protect Master Lu. When he wakes up, I have something to ask him!”After Yu Tian finished speaking, he turned around and entered Lu Wang's sleeping room.
