C672 An Internal Conflict in the Lan Family
Wai Yu pointed his finger at Wai Feng's forehead, and Wai Feng fell to the ground.
Behind Wai Feng, thousands of royal guards watched all of this with their mouths wide open. Ever since they were selected to join the royal guards, they had been instilled with the thought of absolutely loyal to the royal family. Anyone who dared to attack the royal family would be the target of the royal guards.
However, if the person who attacked was also a member of the Royal Family... Furthermore, he was a prince, the royal guards did not know how to deal with him. The royal guards stood there, not knowing what to do. It was like a machine that had been instilled with orders. When the conditions triggered by the order were conflicting... They would fall into a dead cycle and then be turned off on the spot.
"Imperial Forest Military, hear my order"
Wai Yu said to the soldiers standing where they were, "Everyone, return to the camp and rest. Without my order, no one is allowed to act rashly."
"Yes."
The leader of the Royal Guards respectfully said to Wai Yu. Then, he turned around and ordered the soldiers behind him, "Everyone, listen to my orders. Turn around and return to the camp. Do not move without my orders."
Seeing that the Royal Guards had all left, Wai Yu nodded his head in satisfaction. However, he did not notice that in the shadows. A figure was watching everything. After the royal guards turned around and left... He also disappeared into the darkness.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?"
Zhu Yuan asked carefully, although Wai Yu usually looked elegant and approachable. For Zhu Yuan, who had just seen Wai Yu kill his own brother, if Wai Yu was as simple as he thought, it's no different from seeing yourself as an idiot.
Wai Yu didn't say anything. His back was facing the gate of Purple Gold Palace, and he was looking at the street behind him. Even from where Wai Yu was standing, he could still see the raging flames in the distance, and he could even hear the shouts of killing in the distance.
Wai Yu narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, "What is this Kuan Shu doing? This place will belong to me in the future. Wouldn't it be troublesome if I destroy it all?"
"What?"
Zhu Yuan was stunned when he heard Wai Yu's words. Wai Yu's voice was not loud, so Zhu Yuan could not hear him clearly. He could only ask again. However, Wai Yu shook his head. After pondering for a moment, he said to Zhu Yuan, "Let's go to Lan family."
Zhu Yuan hurriedly nodded and did not dare to ask any more questions. He replied, "Yes."
On the way, Wai Yu took out a small wooden tablet from his pocket. It was the magic weapon Kuan Shu left for him to use to contact others. This magic weapon was different from the telepathy magic weapons that ordinary people had seen. The user would leave a message in the magic weapon. Then, the user would decide who to send it to. If one received the message, the small wooden tablet would heat up slightly. But now, in Wai Yu's hands, the small wooden tablet was cold to the touch. Obviously, Kuan Shu's progress was not smooth.
However, Wai Yu couldn't wait any longer. From the day he found out that something had gone wrong with Emperor Wai's cultivation, he had been longing for the throne with the Nine Dragon Pearl in the main hall of Purple Gold Palace for a long time. Now, everything was going smoothly according to his plan. He didn't want to wait any longer.
Thinking of this, Wai Yu transferred a wisp of Spiritual Force into the small wooden tablet. The wooden tablet was injected with Spiritual Force. The original coldness gradually became warmer. Wai Yu, who was familiar with the way to use the small wooden tablet, said softly to the small wooden tablet, "Sir, we will meet up in Lan family after the matter is done."
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped. Wai Yu put away the small wooden tablet and stuck his head out to look outside. In front of him was a tall mansion, and the signboard at the entrance had the words' Blue Mansion 'written on it.
Obviously, this was Wai Yu's destination, the Lan family.
Wai Yu got out of the car, walked to the entrance of the Blue Mansion, and knocked on the door. The door opened when he heard the sound and a head popped out. Because there were ghosts in the city, the gatekeeper carefully looked outside. Wai Yu's mother, the current imperial concubine, came from the Lan family. Thus, Wai Yu often came to the Lan family to visit. He was also familiar with the gatekeeper. Seeing that it was Third Prince, the gatekeeper heaved a sigh of relief. Although the army behind Wai Yu filled up the streets, the gatekeeper did not suspect anything.
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
The gatekeeper hurriedly opened the main door of the Blue Mansion. As he invited Wai Yu in, he asked respectfully.
Wai Yu waved his hand, indicating that the gatekeeper did not need to follow him. He said to the gatekeeper, "I have something to discuss with the old man."
After saying that, Wai Yu walked straight to the lobby of the Lan family.
The Lan family was a famous medical family in the capital, but compared to them, the Lan family was not very powerful. Although every family would raise their own subordinates, they were still true experts. Only their own families could make them feel at ease. As for the strongest person in the Lan family, Lan Tianxuan, the old man of the Lan family, was seriously injured when he fought someone a year ago. It was only when Lan Fenghuang borrowed the Li Flame from Yang Xuan to repair the medicinal cauldron that she was able to save her life. But even so, a year's time had passed. Lan Tianxuan's injuries had not completely recovered. It was only because the younger daughter of Lan Tianxuan had married into the palace. With this layer of nepotism, the Lan family was able to secure the position of the Twelve Guardian Families.
Therefore, Lan Tianxuan appeared especially enthusiastic when he saw Wai Yu.
Even if she was married into the palace, she was still a girl, but Wai Yu was different. As a descendant of the Lan family and had a pretty good relationship with the disciples of the Lan family... The strongest pillar of the Lan family, except for Old Man Lan, was Wai Yu.
In addition, amongst all the princes under Emperor Wai, the First Prince was good at fighting, but he was not steady enough. The Fourth Prince was a sly man who lacked a strong will. The Sixth Prince was good at dancing, but he was short-sighted. The Eighth Prince was still young, and he did not have the heart of a ruler. In the eyes of the Lan family, although there were always people who could surpass him in every aspect, however, Wai Yu didn't have as obvious flaws as the other princes. Obviously, he was the future successor of the royal family.
"External Ancestor, have you been well recently?"
Wai Yu had a symbolic gentle smile on his face. He looked at Lan Tianxuan with concern.
"I can eat and sleep, but it's not a big deal."
Lan Tianxuan said slowly, but his face looked a little melancholy. The attentive Wei naturally noticed this and asked, "Does Outer Ancestor have something on his mind? Why don't you tell me?"
"It's not something on my mind. It's just that the ghost cultivators have invaded the capital. When I heard this news, I was unable to fight with the ghost cultivators to protect the capital due to my physical condition, so I felt somewhat ashamed."
