Chapter 647 Dependence
Under the absolute violence, the truth was no longer important. The three accusations made by Lu Baizou in order to force the palace to be imprisoned were quickly concluded by the senior officials of the Second Town.
The source of information about the saint's attack on the city was the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The white wolf demon is not a wolf, but an ancient war beast found by the Prime Minister.
The woman in the city who has the aura of Tarchao's unique martial arts is not the desert goddess, but the concubine brought by the prime minister's legitimate son.
The soldiers below were somewhat caught off guard by this sudden change in the direction of public opinion, but their opinions were quickly suppressed in an organized manner by the middle and lower-level soldiers.
No more questions were raised, including by Lu Baozou himself.
This farce of palace fighting ended hastily.
The military formation on the school field was disbanded, and the middle-level generals took them away from the military camp in batches and went to the city wall to prepare for the battle.
After greeting Xu Yuan and saluting, the senior generals who were originally sitting on the fence also left the scene with their old troops.
They knew very well that now that the dust had settled, it was time for reckoning.
Lu Baizou is also the commander of the Xuanting Army. Even if he fails to seize power now, considering the decades of comradeship, he still has to be left with some dignity.
Within two quarters of an hour, silence fell in the Xuanting military camp. Only four people, Xu Yuan, Li Junwu, veteran Jin and the deposed Lu Baizou, were left in the entire school.
Unlike the generals of the Zhenxi Mansion who saluted Xu Yuan and said goodbye, this veteran Jin came to Li Junwu and knelt down directly after putting his sword into its sheath:
"Princess, you are old and incompetent, which caused this thief to commit such an offensive act."
"."
The low voice echoed in the huge campus. After it dissipated, Li Junwu seemed to have recovered from his sleepwalking.
After staring at the veteran named Jin in front of her for a moment, she looked at Xu Yuan, with a hint of inquiry in her slender beautiful eyes.
Ask him if the old man in front of him is trustworthy.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan slowly walked to the two of them, stretched out his hand to help the old man up, but found that he could not help him.
The armored old man was half-kneeling on the ground like a huge stone. He looked at Xu Yuan with gratitude in his eyes, but he was also wary.
Xu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed his head and said with a smile:
"It's true that I'm overstepping my bounds."
The attitude of the Zhenxi Mansion generals just now made him forget his identity as an outsider for a moment.
As he spoke, Xu Yuan stepped aside in embarrassment and pursed his lips at Li Junwu, who was still standing there.
Li Junwu said softly, "Oh," and leaned forward, reaching out to help the veteran Jin up:
"Mr. Jin, you get up first. This matter is not your fault."
"."
Seeing the subtle movements of the two, the veteran surnamed Jin's face became a little tangled under his helmet. He stood up and said tentatively:
"Princess, can you trust me regardless of past grudges?"
Hearing this, Li Junwu subconsciously looked at Xu Yuan, who was playing with the human skin mask in his hand.
Xu Yuan carefully considered his words and said with a smile:
"Commander Jin, you are joking. The decision to force the palace just now was made by all the generals in the second town. You are in it and you don't have much choice. Whether you rescued Jun Wu before or you just cooperated with me. You have proven your loyalty to Zhenxihou."
"Third Young Master."
Xu Yuan's words did not improve the expression of the veteran named Jin, and he said directly in a deep voice:
"The question I just asked was for the princess."
"."
After the words fell, the air suddenly became quiet.
Thinking of the previous series of reactions of the woman beside him, Xu Yuan instantly understood what the old man in front of him was referring to.
Li Junwu frowned slightly when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Jin, Changtian is a close friend who has been with me since childhood. He came here specifically to advise me on this matter."
General Jin took a deep breath, his old voice full of fatigue:
"I dare to ask the princess, the Third Young Master can advise you for a while, but can he advise you for a lifetime?"
"."
Silently for a moment, Li Junwu suddenly looked at him beside him with flashing eyes.
Seeing the reaction of the good-breasted brother again, Xu Yuan rolled his eyes angrily, turned his head and ignored her.
The veteran Jin watched Xu Yuan's reaction and felt slightly relieved.
Fortunately, the young master Changtian in front of him didn't seem to have any intention of manipulating the princess.
Although today's Zhenxi Mansion is riddled with holes, it is all superficial rot. Whether it is the sect or the new Prime Minister's Mansion, as long as the Marquis is still there, everything will turn around. But if the princess is If something goes wrong with the heir, the whole foundation of Zhenxi Mansion will be ruined.
The Xuanwu stage fell into silence.
Li Junwu realized his subconscious dependence on Xu Yuan.
In this awkward atmosphere, the old man surnamed Jin did not say anything more and bowed respectfully to say goodbye.
And before leaving,
He saw a hint of helpless loneliness in the princess's eyes
The moment Lu Baizou forced the palace, Li Junwu's heart was already in a state of confusion.
She didn't know how to handle the situation below.
I don’t know how to deal with the public opinion that was deliberately stirred up.
I don’t even know how to clear myself of the accusations.
At a loss.
He forced himself to remain calm.
She tried to put herself into the role of the princess named Li Qingyan, trying to imagine how Li Qingyan would behave in this situation, but her blank brain made her thoughts almost stagnant.
At that moment, she regretted the ridiculous things she had done. If she had not been so ridiculous, she might not have been attacked like this, but there was no regret medicine in the world, and everything was of no use.
The surging pressure almost crushed her.
In this powerlessness like being trapped in the seabed,
she thought of him.
So,
she started.
She thought that guy would definitely find a way, and that guy should be able to help her break the situation.
And the facts proved that her guess was right.
After she was forced to start the battle formation in public, his figure came to the military camp as she expected.
At that moment, Li Junwu felt that the pressure on his body faded away like a floodgate, and was replaced by a kind of exhaustion.
She was supposed to be the background of this forced palace drama. Since Xu Yuan appeared, everyone's eyes have been focused on him.
She watched him kill a man dressed as a Confucian scholar on the high tower, watched him come to the front of the military formation with Linlang unscrupulously, and watched him run rampant and directly abolished Lu Bozou, who made her helpless, in front of everyone.
Everything was handled by him in an orderly manner, and the entire Zhenxi Prefecture City was completely ready for war.
The insects that had been standing against her turned their guns around and stood on the same front with them again.
Thinking of this, Li Junwu suddenly came back to his senses, and his slender willow eyes were filled with a trace of self-deprecation.
Li Junwu looked up at Xu Yuan, who looked a little uncomfortable:
"Well, I... I'll go back to the government office first."
After saying that, he turned around, but did not leave immediately, standing silently in the same place.
Her chest rose and fell several times, and she wanted to speak several times, but she didn't know where to start when the words came to her lips.
In this silence,
Li Junwu bit the corners of his plump lips, clenched his fists, and left a trembling voice:
"Changtian, thank you this time
"And, this is the last time. "
