Chapter 87 The Prince Finds Trouble
On the way, Song Yi also introduced the situation to Ye Liuyun. .\nCOM
The Ninth Prince now lives in a separate courtyard of the Northern King, which is usually the residence of Zhou Quan, the son of the Northern King. Although the Northern King has no military power, his influence in the dynasty is not small, and he is a confidant of the Ninth Prince.
In order to compete for the throne, the princes of the royal family are secretly trying to win over the princes and ministers. The prince does not belong to any faction, and he holds military power, so it is inevitable that he will be excluded.
"I guess these people are supervisors sent by the dynasty on the surface, but they are actually looking for trouble with the prince! The royal family has always been eyeing the prince's military power, and they hope that the prince will make a big mistake!" Song Yi said at last.
Ye Liuyun nodded and had an idea in his mind. Anyway, it's just asking and answering the situation at that time, and it won't cause any trouble to the prince.
When they arrived at the separate courtyard, they saw rows of imperial guards standing inside and outside the palace. After the notification, they were allowed to enter.
"This Ninth Prince is really arrogant!" Ye Liuyun thought to himself.
Arriving at the main hall, Ye Liuyun saw a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, sitting high up in the main seat. He looked good, but with a pair of eagle eyes, he was not an easy person to deal with.
Sitting on the side was an old man who looked like a minister, with a fake smile on his face. There were also a few young people standing behind the man.
Presumably, this was the Ninth Prince and the Northern King.
Beside the Ninth Prince stood an old man and two guards commanders. There were also two rows of guards in distinctive armor on both sides of the hall, which set off the atmosphere in the hall with majesty and solemnity.
In the entire hall, the highest realm was the old man, and Ye Liuyun could not see through his true realm. The Ninth Prince and the two guards commanders were all in the ninth level of the True Yuan.
Song Tao, Li Mengxi and others stood neatly in the middle of the hall. Song Tao was describing the battle.
Ye Liuyun frowned when he saw this scene. Why is this scene like a trial of a prisoner! Is it worth finding a bunch of guards here to scare people!
But he didn't say anything and just stood at the back.
At this time, Song Tao also finished describing the whole process and stopped.
Song Tao described it in great detail, and the Ninth Prince didn't have anything to ask, so he looked at the Northern King.
The Northern King said with a smile: "You are all heroes of my Great Zhou, thank you for your hard work!"
Then he asked: "The last one to come in, is the great hero of this time, Saint Ye Liuyun?"
Seeing that he was asked, Ye Liuyun had to stand up and say: "Ye Liuyun, meet the Ninth Prince and the Northern King!"
The Ninth Prince didn't say anything. The Northern King still smiled and said: "Why did you come so late? I wanted you to tell me about the battle."
His words sounded like a casual remark, but there was a sense of complaint.
Ye Liuyun certainly couldn't let him catch him, so he immediately said, "I've been on vacation since I came back from the battlefield. I just went out, and I didn't know that the Ninth Prince wanted to summon us."
"Oh! That's understandable!" The King of the North didn't bother him too much about being late, after all, they had also summoned people at short notice, so it was not good to use this excuse to attack Ye Liuyun.
"But I'm curious, how did you discover the enemy's conspiracy? As far as I know, the enemy camp was dozens of miles away at that time? Ye Shengzi has a really good eye!" The King of the North seemed to be praising him.
"I practiced a pupil technique that can see far away." Ye Liuyun replied.
The King of the North had hidden needles in every word, so he had to be careful to deal with it.
"So that's it!" The King of the North nodded, as if he recognized him.
Then he continued to ask: "I heard that a black-robed man appeared on the battlefield. He seemed to be the mastermind of this incident. Do you know him?"
"Not really. I met him before when I was encircling and suppressing the beasts. We fought a battle. Everyone can testify at that time." Ye Liuyun replied.
This Northern King set traps for him everywhere. It was obviously targeting him. Others could hear it and sweated for Ye Liuyun.
The Northern King looked at Ye Liuyun with a smile and said: "That's really a coincidence. The same person was encountered by you twice, and escaped from you twice!"
"That person is in the Huahai realm. We are not his opponents. When suppressing bandits, the prince was in seclusion at that time, and the dynasty sent people to deal with it. I don't know the specific situation.
This time, we were all injured, and there was no fighting power in the city, so the prince didn't chase. The Northern King can also ask the prince for the specific situation." Ye Liuyun said.
Ye Liuyun's answer did not leave them any handle. Even the Northern King looked at him seriously.
But without evidence, it doesn't mean they have no way out.
The Ninth Prince said, "There are many doubts about this matter. You should return to the palace temporarily and not leave without permission. Wait for investigation at any time! Ye Liuyun stays here, and I will continue to interrogate him."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed. If Ye Liuyun stayed, they could say whatever they wanted. Not to mention forcing him to confess, even if they killed him and said that Ye Liuyun confessed, they would have no way to do anything.
Ye Liuyun couldn't help it at this time. This was obviously aimed at him!
He asked loudly, "Interrogate? Does the Ninth Prince have evidence to suspect me? What right do you have to interrogate me?"
The King of the North changed his friendly smile and shouted, "How dare you! As the commander-in-chief, doesn't the Ninth Prince have the right to ask about the war?"
Since the relationship had been torn apart, Ye Liuyun was no longer polite.
"Since he is the commander-in-chief, he only has the authority to go to the battlefield. I am not in the army now, and I only listen to the orders of the palace. The Ninth Prince has no right to interrogate me! If you want to interrogate me, ask the prince first!"
"You dare to disobey orders?" The Ninth Prince said coldly. The imperial guards on the side also surrounded Ye Liuyun and the others with a whoosh.
But this didn't scare him at all. "I am a member of the palace, and I only listen to the orders of the prince! Even if you are the Ninth Prince, you can't be lawless, right?"
The Ninth Prince heard this and his face was gloomy. Some things can be done, but they can't be done openly. He also understood this truth.
He was indeed just a commander-in-chief and had no right to ask about the personnel of the palace.
But he didn't expect that Ye Liuyun was so bold that he didn't scare him. He thought these little people could be manipulated at will.
The Northern King shouted again: "Ye Liuyun, you are so bold that you dare to slander the Ninth Prince!"
Ye Liuyun laughed contemptuously: "I am just stating the facts! Even if you are the Northern King, you can't frame the people in my palace at will, right?"
Seeing that he couldn't scare Ye Liuyun and the others, the Northern King had to say: "How can you misunderstand His Highness the Ninth Prince? He just wants to ask clearly. What's the big deal about keeping you here for a few days!"
Ye Liuyun also said directly: "Don't be polite! We have said everything we know. If the Ninth Prince still wants to ask, just ask now in front of everyone, just in time for everyone to be a witness.
I am not used to living in other people's homes, and I will not stay here."
"You..." The Northern King did not expect that Ye Liuyun, at such a young age, would not be soft or hard, and dared to confront them.
"Good! You are very good! Ye Liuyun, you go back first and wait for my summons!" The Ninth Prince gritted his teeth and said.
"Sorry, Ninth Prince, we are usually very busy and can't keep waiting. If you have anything in the future, you can go to the prince first! We're leaving now!"
After saying that, Ye Liuyun led everyone back to the palace.
