Chapter 1354 I Can't Stand It Anymore

Zhao Qiushan's arrival has greatly enhanced the strength of Cai Cheng's forces.

Cai Cheng did not intend to conceal the fact that Zhao Qiushan took the initiative to help, but was prepared to publicize it. He wanted everyone to know about it, and then those who were wavering would naturally make up their minds.

Zhao Qiushan had no opinion on this. When he decided to lead his troops to help Cai Cheng, he already knew that he had no way back. Cai Cheng wanted to use him to get more people on his side, and Zhao Qiushan was happy to see this. After deciding to stand on Cai Cheng's side, he naturally hoped that Cai Cheng would succeed in the uprising. He and Cai Cheng were now on the same rope.

When Cai Cheng spread the news that Zhao Qiushan was coming to surrender, Yelu Honglin, who was far away in Yueliguo, the capital of Shuiyueguo, was not in the same good mood as Cai Cheng. He was in a terrible mood at this time.

Wu Fan was not found!

The eunuchs and maids of Donglin Palace searched for a whole day, and they were almost digging three feet into the ground, but they could not find any trace of Wu Fan. In response, Yelu Honglin was furious, which was rare and quite out of control. He even stopped pretending to be elegant on the surface.

In the evening, the sound of sticks hitting continued to be heard in Donglin Palace, accompanied by the screams of eunuchs and maids.

In the matter of punishment, Yelu Honglin did what he said.

The servants in Donglin Palace could not find Wu Fan, and they were all beaten with sticks. The only difference was the number of times.

"Ah, Your Highness... Please spare me."

"Your Highness, spare my life."

"Your Highness..."

There were constant cries of mercy in Donglin Palace, but Yelu Honglin sat firmly on the chair, his face gloomy, and he said nothing.

Yelu Honglin ignored the screams and pleas in his ears. What he was thinking about at this time was still the previous question:

Where did Wu Fan go!

He had people looking for Wu Fan for a whole day, but they couldn't find him. Although the palace was not small, it would take a day to search everywhere. After all, he had sent out a lot of people.

Of course, he didn't dare to let people go to sensitive places such as where the emperor and concubines lived, and the palace where the emperor received ministers, and he also believed that Wu Fan couldn't be in those places.

"But where did he go?" Yelu Honglin muttered to himself.

It was hard to get a good servant, but he suddenly disappeared, alive or dead, and Yelu Honglin couldn't accept it.

"Could it be that he was really taken away by the second brother's people?" Yelu Honglin thought of the most likely situation, and he gritted his teeth and said to himself: "Yelu Hongfei, don't go too far!"

For a long time, relying on his father's favor, Yelu Hongfei did not take his brother seriously, humiliated him again and again, and secretly used means on his people. Yelu Honglin chose to tolerate most of the time, because he felt that he was now the crown prince. As long as he did not make a big mistake, the throne would be his. No matter how Yelu Hongfei made a fuss, it would be useless. He was the first heir.

Even their father could not depose him from the position of crown prince if he did not make any mistakes. If Yelu Zong forcibly deposed him from the position of crown prince, then the first person to oppose it would not be him, but the ministers in the court.

It is precisely because of this idea that, on weekdays, when facing Yelu Hongfei's aggressiveness, Yelu Honglin always chooses to tolerate. Even if his capable subordinates disappear one after another inexplicably, he does not break up with Yelu Hongfei.

But now, Yelu Honglin feels that he can't stand it anymore.

It's not just because of Wu Fan's disappearance.

Wu Fan's disappearance is just a fuse. The real reason why Yelu Honglin feels that he can't tolerate it anymore is: his father is too partial to Yelu Hongfei, giving him opportunities to make merit again and again, which makes Yelu Hongfei's prestige in the court and among the people increase day by day, and even some people think that maybe Yelu Hongfei is more capable and more suitable to be the emperor of Shui Yueguang.

This situation is naturally what Yelu Zong and Yelu Hongfei are happy to see, but it is definitely not what Yelu Honglin wants to see. Such voices have become louder and louder, which makes Yelu Honglin, who has been tolerant, feel deeply pressured.

Now, Yelu Hongfei was sent out to fight again. If nothing unexpected happened, he would make meritorious deeds. In Yelu Honglin's view, how could the army of Nanping be the opponent of their Shuiyue army? Yelu Hongfei would win, that was certain. When Yelu Hongfei returned triumphantly, his father would definitely reward him again.

As for him, he finally had the opportunity to show his face because of Yelu Hongfei's absence. As a result, the capable subordinate he had just found disappeared inexplicably. How could he not be angry when comparing the two?

Yelu Honglin felt that he could not sit and wait for death like this anymore!

He had to take action and fight back against Yelu Hongfei, otherwise, his position as the crown prince would be in danger!

Thinking of this, Yelu Honglin suddenly stood up and walked towards his study.

At the gate of Donglin Palace, the sound of sticks, screams and begging for mercy continued.

"Okay, I'm finally done." Wu Fan in the Nanping Palace finished his work, looked at the list on the paper, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although Wu Fan dared not say that he could find all the accomplices of Cai Cheng in this army of tens of thousands at once, this list definitely includes most of them. As long as they are closely watched, the rest of them will not be able to cause any trouble.

"Come here!"

Wu Fan shouted.

Afterwards, a eunuch came in, and Wu Fan handed the papers with names written on them to the other party, saying: "Give these papers to General Chen Wende and tell him that he can start."

"Yes." The eunuch responded and turned to leave the room.

Wu Fan looked at the sky. At this time, there was not much time left before being teleported back to the real world, so he simply did not go out again.

However, just when Wu Fan stayed in the room and was about to be teleported back to the real world, his door was knocked.

Dongdongdong!

Wu Fan frowned slightly and said, "Who?"

"It's me." Wu Ya's voice came from outside the door.

Wu Fan frowned even deeper. If it was anyone else, he could send them away with just one word, but the person who came was Wu Ya, which was troublesome.

"What's the matter? I'm going to rest. Can we talk tomorrow?" Wu Fan had no intention of opening the door. After all, he didn't have much time to stay in this world, so it was not appropriate to meet Wu Ya at this time.

However, Wu Ya was not so easy to get rid of.

"I have something to say to you. I'll leave after I finish speaking. I won't disturb your rest." Wu Ya's voice came again, with a firm attitude, and she had no intention of leaving.
