Chapter 449: The Origin Stone(5/9)
The Royal Forest Army actually discovered a secret training place deep in the hunting ground. There were actually a large number of masters living there, and they were basically all Wuzong-level experts.
A fight broke out immediately, and the Imperial Guards suffered hundreds of casualties.
Fortunately, a mysterious master arrived and killed a dozen of the opponent's masters, but dozens more escaped.
The hunting ground was in charge of the first-class Taiping Cheng Wujin. However, when the six-door expert arrived at the Cheng Mansion, he found that the Cheng Mansion was already empty.
Tang Wen was also urgently summoned to the palace to discuss matters. When he went there, he found that he was in the south study room.
At the scene were Chu Yang, Prime Minister Luo Pu, National Preceptor Zhang Wuyu, Six Sect Master Zhao Taiyi, and the Imperial Forest Army who was still wearing a bandage and had a swollen head like a pig's head, all in command of Qin Zheng.
"Everyone, this time the prince was in danger, a shocking conspiracy was involved. Qin Zheng, please tell me in detail." Chu Beili said with a serious face.
"The prince was in danger. After receiving the emperor's order, I immediately picked up more than a thousand forest guards and several masters of the Blood Killing Hall and went straight to the hunting ground.
However, the big yellow-spotted tiger had long since disappeared. The official did not give up and continued to search with people.
Unexpectedly, a training ground was discovered. The training ground was very secretive, and it was even protected by a magic circle.
At that time, it was also the masters of the Blood Killing Hall who discovered the clues. They suspected that the macular tiger was hiding inside, but no matter how we tried, we couldn't get in.
Therefore, I ordered the bombardment with the Western cannon donated by the Divine Bird King, and fired thousands of cannonballs. Later, the magic circle seemed to collapse, and it was blasted out of the training ground.
There was actually a group of masters hiding inside, and they came out from their respective caves.
They were too powerful, almost all of them were strong men of Wu Zong and above, and there were also a few Wu Yuan realms among them. The Royal Forest Army suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, the seniors from the palace came, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come back.
Later, we searched in detail and were surprised to find that it was a complete training ground for cultivating masters.
There are all kinds of facilities, and, we even found animal cores that we didn’t have time to take away.
We can be sure that this training ground is not the helm of a certain sect, but is involved in a shocking conspiracy.
At that time, we immediately turned around and went to the Taiping Gong's Mansion, only to find that the Taiping Gong's Mansion was already empty and they had already run away.
Moreover, after careful consideration, we discovered that two of the masters were the masters who were hiding underground in Hungry Tiger Gorge to attack the king.
One of them was beaten to death by our masters in the palace, and the other ran away
." Qin Zheng said.
"Sneak attack on me?" Tang Wendu was stunned.
"Yes, they are the two masters hiding underground to attack you, the king.
Therefore, we can be sure that the macular tiger was also raised by them.
However, the yellow-spotted tiger's surprise attack on the prince's group was an accident.
Because, logically speaking, they shouldn't attack the prince secretly, as that would expose themselves.
It is estimated that the big yellow-spotted tiger escaped on its own, and at that time, the prince and his group first wanted to shoot the tiger, but were attacked by the tiger," Qin Zheng said.
"This group of people is most likely Tang Chengzhong's backstage." Tang Wen said.
"Backstage?" Chu Beili was stunned and looked at Tang Wen.
“It was only after I went to the Shenniao Grassland that I discovered that the Shenniao Grassland had long been occupied by Tang Chengzhong’s group.
Moreover, there is actually a lord behind this group of people, and the lord came through a special envoy.
They were very secretive. It is said that they used flying pigeons to deliver messages. People did not show their faces, so there was no way to find out.
Maybe I ruined their good deeds, so they wanted to kill me in Hungry Tiger Gorge," Tang Wen said.
"Everyone, this is a big conspiracy against our Chu family.
This group of people has probably been lurking in the dark for a long time, hiding their capabilities and biding their time, waiting for the right time to launch a rebellion.
Tang Chengzhong was one of them, and there must have been other court officials who were dragged into the trap by them.
Therefore, from now on, we must brace ourselves and strictly investigate this rebellious group.
King of Divine Birds, your new army must be formed as soon as possible.
Otherwise, I am afraid that this group of rebels are spies of the Qin Kingdom.
When the time comes, the inside should be coordinated with the outside, and our Chu family will be in danger." Chu Beili patted the table and said.
"Your Majesty, I want to wait until the Songshan Conference before revealing my purpose. At that time, the top masters of the nine major sects and several major families will be present, and they will be in charge of these forces." Tang Wendao.
"If it is proposed at the Songshan Conference, I'm afraid they will unite to reject it, which will be troublesome. If you go to ask for people one by one now and defeat them one by one, it will be easier to do." Chu Yang said.
"It's too troublesome, and time doesn't allow it, so why not come together." Tang Wen shook his head.
"Are you sure?" Chu Beili asked.
"Are they really planning to rebel and confront the royal family?" Tang Wen responded.
"You shouldn't dare." Luo Pu shook his head.
"Your Majesty, the prince is disabled. I think that at this juncture, the prince should be established as early as possible to stabilize the morale of the army." Tang Wen said.
"The prince is seriously injured now, but it would not be appropriate to cripple him right away.
Moreover, we cannot say that he is useless now.
There are many medical techniques in this world that can be used to connect hands and feet." Zhang Wuyu said.
"Well, deposing the crown prince is too big a deal. Besides, the crown prince is the princess of Beimo Kingdom.
At this time, if the crown prince is abolished, the King of Beimo will definitely be dissatisfied.
The Great Northwest is already in trouble, and if it arouses his dissatisfaction again, our situation will be even more dangerous." Luo Pu said.
"Well, let's wait until he recovers from his injury. If there is a way to connect his hands and feet, there is no need." Chu Beili said.
"For a person who is narrow-minded and disregards the interests of the country, he is not worthy of being a prince." Tang Wen said.
"What do you mean, King Divine Bird? The prince has offended you, but he hasn't ignored the overall interests of the country yet," Chu Beili said.
"If he wants to kill me, should I still support him?
Since His Majesty has appointed me to conquer the West, is this the overall interests of the country?
This is related to the country and the country of the Chu Dynasty. For such a major event, His Majesty must have given repeated orders. However, the prince insisted on having his own way and insisted on putting his ministers to death.
I am asked to conquer the West, and I am asked to work for someone who wants to kill me, but I am unwilling to do so." Tang Wendao.
"You keep saying that the prince wants to kill you, do you have any evidence?" Zhang Wuyu asked.
"Of course. On the day my mall opened, two masters attacked me. Those two people were from the Black Dragon Club, and the employer was His Highness the Crown Prince." Tang Wen said.
"Presumptuous, King of Divine Birds, you can't accuse my son with baseless things." Chu Beili was annoyed and stared at Tang Wen coldly.
"If you want evidence, I have it. All the witnesses and physical evidence are available." Tang Wen immediately took out the tablet from the void bag and released the prince's conspiracy, Ge Yu's confession, etc.
"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can interrogate Ge Yu. He is the prince's confidant, and he was the one responsible for hiring assassins to kill the ministers.
Of course, Ge Yu was also very cunning, and he changed hands with three or four people to come into contact with the Black Dragon Society.
But, these three or four people were captured by me. This is a confession.
Moreover, according to my investigation, the prince went hunting this time because he actually wanted to kill people and silence them." Tang Wendao.
"You mean the prince wants to kill Ge Yu?" Luo Pu asked.
"Yes!" Tang Wen said.
"If the situation is true and you demand that the crown prince be abolished, who will you recommend to take over the crown prince's position?" Chu Beili asked calmly.
"In the entire royal family, except the seventh prince, no one can take on this important task." Tang Wen said.
"Haha, who doesn't know that you have a good relationship with the Seventh Prince?" Zhang Wuyu laughed sarcastically.
"Never avoid relatives when promoting talents, I would like to ask Your Majesty, which of your sons has the genius of the Seventh Prince?" Tang Wen asked.
"I get angry when you talk about this, he is a genius, he is a genius.
However, what has he done in recent years? He drinks to drown his sorrows every day and makes himself look like a madman.
How can such a person become the successor of the royal family?" Chu Beili asked.
"Actually, the seventh prince is a carefree person, and he doesn't want to take over the position of prince at all.
Or is it that I have been persuading him all the time? I have no selfish motives, just for the sake of your Chu family’s empire.
Nowadays, the war in the northwest is tense, and the Chu family is in turmoil. If no one steps forward to stabilize the morale of the army, the Chu family will be in danger.
Moreover, among the dozen or so princes, he is the only one who has the ability to sit on the throne of prince." Tang Wendao.
"How can he, a semi-wasted person, succeed to the throne of the crown prince?" Zhang Wuyu snorted.
"Half-waste, how do I know he is half-waste?" Tang Wen glared at Zhang Wuyu.
"I didn't say he was completely crippled, that's being polite. He was a genius before, but for Luo Daimei, he sank into ruin. Until now, he has not even been able to enter the martial arts realm. How can such a mediocre person preside over the affairs of the country?"
Zhang Wuyu sneered.
"It's just blinding your eyes!" Tang Wen cursed.
"King of Divine Birds, you are simply a reckless man! You don't hold back what you say, but you actually use foul language. How unbecoming is it!" Zhang Wuyu was furious.
