Prince Xiaoming was about to take a bath and change his clothes, but the reception hall was soon empty.
A'Zhu and A'Bi sobbed as they carried away Bao Butong and Feng Poliu's corpses.
This was their good friend, and the two of them wanted to bury him. Murong Fu was taken by Azure Dragon to a prison cell in the backyard of the inn, where Linghu Chong, that cripple, could keep him company.
Wang Yuyan sat on the ground in a daze, looking at the blood stains.
No one knew what he was thinking.
As a young girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, Wang Yuyan had always admired her cousin.
In fact, her little heart had already betrothed her to her cousin and would not marry anyone other than him.
All these years, the reason why she had been staying in the Langhuan Jade Cave to read widely was to help her cousin.
In fact, she had helped him a lot.
However, Wang Yuyan's dream was shattered today.
Her impression of her cousin had plummeted.
Whether it was selling out Bao Butong, Feng Poliye, or giving away A'Zhu and A'Bi, these actions seemed to be done by a stranger in Wang Yuyan's eyes.
However, she had seen it with her own eyes and could not fake it.
If Murong Fu gave up everything in exchange for Prince Xiaoming's favor and help, Wang Yuyan would accept it. After all, her cousin was doing this for the great cause of restoring the country. Although his character was flawed, his integrity was not compromised.
However, everything Cousin did seemed like a clown in Prince Xiaoming's eyes.
Not only did he suffer a double loss, he even lost himself in the end.
When Prince Xiaoming told her about her cousin's rebellion, Wang Yuyan even had a feeling that things would develop to this point sooner or later.
In the past, Cousin always talked about the restoration of Great Yan. No matter what he said, he would talk about the restoration of the country.
At that time, Wang Yuyan had felt that it was strange and had even reminded her cousin that it was better to keep a low profile for such secrets.
At that time, Murong Fu was at the peak of his glory, and he reprimanded him for not understanding the important matters of the country.
If you don't shout it out, no one will know what you mean.
The reason why he was fighting for fame in the martial arts world was to recruit talents and let others know his great dream so that they could follow him.
At that time, Wang Yu Yan had truly believed her cousin's words. It was only today, when she saw Prince Xiaoming taunt her cousin, that she truly understood that her cousin was acting like a self-righteous fool.
Over the years, he had spent countless gold, silver, and treasures to befriend countless people in the martial world, but very few were truly willing to restore the country with him.
The only people he could control were Bao, Feng, Gong, and Deng.
Gusu Murong seemed to have boundless glory, yet he couldn't even block a single finger of this notorious prince.
Prince Xiaoming had just arrived in Jiangnan and had already destroyed the entire Murong family.
Wang Yuyan did not know what to say. In her heart, she felt that everything was over. It was over.
"Yo, why is there no one here?"
Just as Huang Rong was comforting Wang Yuyan, Huanhuan walked over with light steps.
Looking at the empty Flower Hall, he was slightly surprised. When he saw Wang Yuyan and Huang Rong, his eyes turned and he squatted in front of Wang Yuyan.
"Well, we're about the same age. As sisters, I have to remind you.”
"Your current state is very dangerous. It's true that Master likes beautiful women, but he doesn't like those who don't have good eyesight.”
"Your family rebelled against your cousin. This kind of thing will exterminate the entire family.”
"But Master only ordered people to kill your cousin and the other two clans.”
"That's because Master is thinking for you. Don't be ignorant.”
"Master wants someone to serve him tonight. Don't say that I don't take care of you. I'll bring you along when the time comes.”
"Remember to go back and wash it clean. Master likes it clean.”
He didn't know if Wang Yuyan had heard what Huanhuan said, but she just nodded foolishly.
Huang Rong wanted to say something, but the next moment, she met Huanhuan's dangerous gaze.
"Hmm? Sister, what are you trying to say?"
"Could it be that you also want to serve tonight? That won't do. Master hasn't agreed to take you in yet.”
"But…"
"Sister, I can find you a good job. Do you see that chief eunuch beside Master?”
"That big guy with two long knives. That big guy needs a maid to serve him. I recommend you to go?”
Huanhuan analyzed the advantages of Gu Dayong to Huang Rong with great interest. Gu Dayong had a strong body and a strong martial arts. He didn't have to worry about being molested when he served Gu Dayong. After all, he was a eunuch.
Huang Rong shook her head repeatedly. She used to think that she was a little devil. Now that she had met a real devil, she suddenly felt that she could be called an obedient girl in the past.
"That's right. You don't want to go there. What if Gu Dayong has some strange fetishes?”
"I heard from those young eunuchs that many eunuchs have a wooden mallet to make up for their own shortcomings.”
"Oh my god, just thinking about it is scary. That Gu Da is more than two meters tall. How big of a wooden mallet would he have to prepare?”
"I don't know if your small body can still take it.”
Huang Rong was so frightened by Huanhuan's words that she trembled. Her little face was pale and she almost cried.
"Aiya, look at how scared you are. We're sisters. I won't do that.”
"Alright, now take her to wash up and wait for Master to summon her.”
While Huanhuan was teasing the two of them, Zhu Houwei sat in the spacious bathtub.
A few maids were giving him a bath massage.
"Yan 'er, draft a memorial. Report what happened in the south these days and what happened in the Jiangnan area to my emperor brother. At the same time, ask for some rewards.”
"Oh! Right, send another letter to the Minister of Rites, Wang Yuanhou, mentioning the matter of his wife taking someone to plant flowers.”
"Let Wang Yuanhou do as he sees fit."
Zhu Houwei thought about it and decided to report everything that had happened since he went south to the emperor.
After all, even Shangguan Haitang knew to report to Zhu Bujue.
If he didn't contact the Emperor, he might be attacked. Although the Emperor would definitely not believe it, it was better to be safe than sorry. It was better not to let small things affect the relationship between the brothers.
Jiang Yuyan finished drafting the memorial and handed it to Zhu Houwei. She knocked on the door and Gu Dayong's voice sounded outside.
"Your Highness, Gusu Murong Clan's 313 members have all been exterminated, and you have found tens of millions of taels of gold, silver, and jewelry, as well as hundreds of boxes of precious medicinal herbs.”
"There are also countless weapons and armors prepared for the rebellion. There are also various letters that have been sent to and fro.”
Gu Da's speed was too fast. Even if Gusu City was not far from Suzhou, it was not something that could be returned by taking a bath.
There had to be a mobilization of soldiers and horses, and even those things that were found had to be searched.
Subconsciously, Zhu Houwei felt that Gu Dayong was lying to him, but it was obviously impossible.
"Da Yong, your speed is too fast. Did you kill the wrong person?”
Zhu Houwei asked curiously.
"Reporting to Your Highness, in order to complete Your Highness's orders, I used my Qi to travel for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to arrive at Murong Manor in Gusu City.”
"After killing the 313 members of the Murong family, he found the treasure vault under the lead of the steward and rushed back in the time it takes an incense stick to burn.”
Gu Dayong's words made Zhu Houwei put his hand on his forehead.
He really didn't expect Gu Dayong to travel with the power of a grandmaster.
He wasn't afraid that someone would seize the opportunity to beat him to death when his true qi was exhausted.
Fortunately, Gu Dayong did a good job and came back in one piece. Zhu Houwei was too lazy to reprimand this murderer.
