River island, two-story building.
Today there are only two square tables.
The old prince was sitting at the table, with Yao Qi beside him with a strange expression.
When he saw Yang Dong approaching, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Mr. Yang, right? Please sit down."
The old prince spoke calmly and had no intention of getting up to greet him.
Yang Dong didn't care and sat directly next to Yao Qi, looking at the old prince and saying:
"This time I passed by Fengcheng, but I disturbed the old prince."
"But I still have something to do, so it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty."
After saying that, he stood up again and prepared to leave.
After doing this, even Yao Qi on the side couldn't help but look stunned.
Why is Mr. Yang so unconventional?
But unfortunately, he felt that this method was not bad. At least he doesn't have to be trapped in this closed city like himself.
I don’t know if this old prince dares to stop His Majesty’s special envoy.
Yao Qi thought so, looking at Yang Dong with a little more expectation.
But as soon as Yang Dong stood up, several soldiers of the Longwu Army came up from all around.
At the same time, an old man dressed as a housekeeper said with a smile:
"Mr. Yang, don't be anxious. My prince is your Majesty's uncle. I haven't seen you for many years, so I naturally want to know how my nephew is doing."
"Since you are here, why not inform the prince of your majesty's current situation. In this way, you can also fulfill one of the prince's wishes."
Yang Dong had no expression on his face and looked at the old prince sitting in the main seat.
The old prince looked disdainful and said coldly:
"You are just a eunuch slave. Today, my king allows you to come here because he thinks highly of you."
"Without further ado, my imperial nephew asked you to come to Luozhou for a secret purpose, right?"
"According to my guess, the secret decree is probably for that old guy Han Zheng, right?"
He said, closing his eyes slightly. After a moment, a glimmer of brightness flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"I see. No wonder that old guy Han Zheng still refuses to open the warehouse to stock up on food."
"It's just ridiculous to say it. What if he keeps the food and grass? Do you really think that with his little things, he can save my imperial nephew's life?"
A sneer appeared on the old prince's cheek.
He stretched out his palm and placed it in front of Yang Dong. He said bluntly:
"Okay, hand over the secret decree, and I will spare your life."
As soon as these words came out, the entire two-story building fell into silence.
No one would have thought that the old prince would be so direct and ask for secret orders.
According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, this is a crime of great disrespect and will result in beheading!
Yang Dong glanced at the old prince lightly, and then squeezed out a smile on his face.
He cupped his hands and explained:
"The old prince is joking. I came to Luozhou on His Majesty's order, just to see the results of Luozhou's disaster relief for Your Majesty."
"Since we are looking at results, it is normal to go to Luozhou Prefectural Mufu."
"As for the secret decree, your Majesty has not said anything, and I don't know about it either. But, old prince, where did you get the news?"
As soon as these words came out, the old prince's face instantly darkened.
He looked at Yang Dong coldly, suddenly raised his palm, and slapped him down.
"Snapped!"
The slap fell heavily, but it didn't fall on Yang Dong's face, but on the old prince's own old face.
Even though Yang Dong was just a fourth-grade parallel martial artist, facing an ordinary person like the old prince, he was still in a different situation.
Moreover, he only raised his hand slightly and slapped the old prince's palm back. Its speed was so fast that people present could not even see it clearly.
Hence, the scene just now happened - the old prince gave himself a slap in the face!
This slap not only made the old prince sluggish.
Even the other guests in the two-story building also had their eyes widened.
But in their eyes, what they saw was that the old prince suddenly raised his arm and slapped him in the face.
Listening to the crisp sound, it seems to be quite hard.
"Old Prince...you don't have to be like this!"
Yang Dong suddenly spoke, breaking the silence of the second-story building.
"You are His Majesty's uncle. Even if you do something inappropriate, Your Majesty will definitely forgive you."
"It's just that I think that the old prince should take better care of his health in the future and stop letting wind and rain come to him. What do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, the old prince's old face, which was calm and self-defeating, instantly turned gloomy.
He stared straight at Yang Dong, the murderous intent in his eyes not concealed at all.
When Yao Qi saw this scene, his whole body went numb. He originally thought that Yang Dong was just a fox pretending to be a tiger, using the majesty of the emperor to do things.
But now it seems that Mr. Yang’s courage is really boundless!
I said Mr. Yang, after all we are on the old prince’s territory, please stop being so arrogant, okay?
At this time, the soldiers around the two-story building were holding sword handles in their hands, staring at Yang Dong's chest.
As long as an order is given, these soldiers will immediately rush to Yang Dong and hack him to death.
Yang Dong felt the killing intent around him and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
There are so many people who want to kill themselves. It would be a lie to say they are not afraid!
But so what if you're afraid? If he gives in now, he will really have no way out.
Besides, I have the Empress as my backer, so there is no need to give in!
He lowered his head and quickly adjusted his mentality.
At the same time, the old prince's voice filled with murderous intent came faintly.
"What a eunuch, he is so sharp-tongued. No wonder my nephew, the emperor, thinks so highly of you."
"There's just something that you probably don't know. My Ji family founded the country with martial arts, and our ancestors once gave us a warning. Yang Dong, do you know what that warning is?"
Yang Dong shook his head slightly and blinked at Hong Laoliu behind him. Then he slowly said:
"I'm sorry, old prince. That is the royal admonition, not the admonition of me, Yang Dong."
"Good, you're fine!"
The old prince laughed angrily and suddenly raised his index finger and pointed at Yang Dong.
"My ancestors of the Ji family have taught me that any eunuch who makes slanderous remarks in the future will be killed first and then punished by the Ji family!"
"Come here, kill this traitor!"
Before he finished speaking, the surrounding soldiers rushed towards Yang Dong.
Even the other guests at the square table took out daggers from their arms and stabbed Yang Dong in the back of the heart.
At this critical moment, a deafening muffled thunder suddenly came from the courtyard not far away.
The strong explosion even caused the entire two-story building to shake.
For a moment, all the soldiers and assassins did not care about killing Yang Dong. They jumped off the small building one by one, preparing to escape for their lives.
The old prince also changed his expression. He stood up and wanted to run away, but Yang Dong blocked his way.
Yao Qi also planned to run away, but Yang Dong also raised his hand to stop him.
"You bastard eunuch, what do you want to do!?"
The old prince roared angrily, trying to knock Yang Dong away with his own weight.
But as soon as he bumped into him, his expression changed.
The other party remained motionless, but his own bones almost fell apart.
