Chapter 784 Shaobai + Shaoge 21
The affairs of the Lei Clan are very complicated, because it not only involves the ranking of the martial arts world and the division of power, but also involves the struggle for the throne in the court. In particular, the Tang Clan is not completely controlled by the clan leader Tang Lianyue. The old man chose to give it a try and contacted the Anhe Mu family with Tang Lianyue's face. Although it was just a feint, the Tang Clan actually got the poison produced exclusively by the Mu family and used it at the Lei Clan's Heroes Conference.
The Jiangnan Duan family had failed in their proposal to marry Sikong Qianluo, the daughter of Sikong Changfeng, the third city lord of Xueyue City, and was humiliated instead. They then turned around and hooked up with Anhe, and also confronted the Lei Clan, the most important ally of Xueyue City.
In the court, Emperor Mingde Xiao Ruojin was very willing to weaken the power of the underworld and expand the influence of the court, so he wanted to personally intervene in the infighting in the underworld and set fires everywhere, so his goal was to weaken the overall strength of the underworld.
As for the princes under Emperor Mingde Xiao Ruojin, every one of them has won over a lot of underworld forces. Moreover, unlike the people in the court, the underworld forces can be won over and abandoned at any time, just like leeks in spring. If the current batch is gone, new ones will grow later, so there is no need to feel sorry for their consumption.
So when Zhao Yuzhen was escorting Li Hanyi all the way back to Leimen, it happened that Tangmen had poisoned everyone in Leimen and all those who came to attend the Heroes Conference. It was a critical moment when Old Master Tang was leading the people from Tangmen and Anhe to prepare to attack Leimen.
At that time, the only one left from the Lei Clan was Lei Wujie, who was late for the banquet. There was also Xiao Se, who was from the same group as Lei Wujie. However, these two together could not defeat the combined forces of the old man of the Tang Clan and Su Changhe.
Zhao Yuzhen arrived at the right time. Su Changhe and the old man of the Tang family were no match for Zhao Yuzhen and Xiao Se. In the end, Su Changhe was the smartest one. He directly absorbed the old man of the Tang family's internal energy and used the poison of the Mu family to return a palm strike, then quickly escaped with his seriously injured body.
Zhao Yuzhen and Xiao Se were also poisoned. Zhao Yuzhen did not die immediately because of his profound skills, while Xiao Se took a pill that Jiang Xinxin had given him and sat down to refine it. In the end, he temporarily suppressed the toxicity in his body and bought himself a chance to seek medical treatment and save his life.
It is said that the Tang clan is very lucky. The old man of the Tang clan died on the spot, Tang Lianyue is still imprisoned, and the only person active outside is Tang Lian, who has some strength left to resist Xiao Se. So even if this hero conference is very ugly, the Tang clan can still use the safety of many people in the martial arts world who attend the conference to threaten the Lei clan to throw dirty water on Anhe. Not only can the Lei clan not hold the culprit of this turmoil accountable, but they also have to pretend to be close to the Tang clan to the outside world. It's really disgusting to Lei Yunhe and Lei Hong.
However, reality is so fickle. Even though everyone knew in their hearts that the changes in Lei Clan today were definitely caused by Tang Clan, there was no solid evidence, and Lei Clan might not be willing to let them explore anything in private. So the Heroes Conference ended in a whimper, and everyone left peacefully with the compensation of thunderbolts and hidden weapons provided by Lei Clan and Tang Clan.
As soon as Xiao Se and his party left Leijiabao, Ye Ruoyi's father, the butcher Ye Xiaoying, led the Ye Camp to meet them. Not long after, Wu Xin also reunited with everyone, but when he heard the reputation of the Ye Camp, Wu Xin could not help but frown.
Seeing this, Xiao Se originally didn't plan to ask, but Lei Wujie was a generous person. Moreover, he had developed a friendship with Ye Ruoyi. Seeing that Wuxin seemed to have something to say about the Yezi Camp, he immediately asked: "Wuxin, do you think there is any problem with the Yezi Camp?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoying and his daughter Ye Ruoyi also looked at Wuxin. Ye Xiaoying even thought of Wuxin's biological father Ye Dingzhi, and his eyes naturally revealed his distrust of Wuxin.
Wu Xin chuckled and asked Xiao Se, "Don't you think it's okay to name a powerful army after a person?"
Neither Wuxin from Hanshui Temple nor Wuxin who had just arrived at Tianwaitian could ask this question, but after being with Jiang Xinxin for a long time, Wuxin's perspective on the problem naturally became much broader.
Lei Wujie and Ye Ruoyi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Ye Ruoyi even felt honored. Only Xiao Se and Ye Xiaoying seemed to be thinking about something.
Ye Xiaoying had experienced ups and downs in officialdom for decades and had also witnessed the scene of King Langya committing suicide. Naturally, he understood everything in his heart, but his desire to avenge King Langya prevailed. At this moment, he didn't care about anything else and only wanted to use his army to press down on Xiao Se.
Wu Xin continued, "My grandfather was also a meritorious official who helped your grandfather ascend to the throne, but later he was framed for treason, causing the death of hundreds of people in the Ye family, leaving only my father alone. Before, I thought Emperor Tai'an was picking on the weak, but after meeting General Ye today, I finally understood a truth: a successful military general does have the ability to command his own troops, and so he also has the ability to rebel."
"My grandfather was like this, and so was the King of Langya. I'm afraid you, General Ye, will not be able to escape this either."
Ye Ruoyi took a deep breath. The reason she didn't react before was not because she was not smart enough or did not look at the problem comprehensively, but because she felt that the Xiao Se she chose would not let the Ye family fall into such a situation.
But at this moment, she had no intention of bringing up Prince Langya as an example, so she had to take this issue seriously.
Xiao Se didn't want to continue this topic, so he said, "What the uncle didn't have time to do back then, I will do for him now. I will find evidence to clear General Ye Yu of the stigma."
Wu Xin followed Xiao Se's meaning and changed the subject: "My master gave me two paths, one of which fell on you. Guess where the other path fell?"
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a lot, Lei Wujie quickly expressed his guess: "Yuan Xin seems to know more than Bai Xiaotang. Maybe he is someone we would never have thought of. Xiao Se, do you have any clues?"
Hearing this, Xiao Se couldn't help but become serious, "Bai Xiaotang is standing behind me. Since Yuan Xin said that I am involved, Bai Xiaotang must be involved. Then the other way should be to replace Bai Xiaotang. I counted the people and forces I know. Qianjintai is not enough, and the Imperial Observatory is too sensitive and may not be willing to participate in this matter. At this moment, I really have no clue."
Instead, Ye Ruoyi asked, "Could that be a hidden river?"
Lei Wujie quickly turned around and asked, "Ruoyi, why did you think of the Dark River?"
Ye Ruoyi smiled and said, "You just said that Wuxin's other path is not something we can easily think of. What we can easily think of is people and forces that are biased towards us or simply neutral. And Anhe has the experience of Leijiabao, which clearly shows that they are a force that is against us. They are against us, and it is difficult to reconcile with us for a while, and they are also capable of investigating a lot of secret information."
"So, I guess the dark river is not without basis."
Wu Xin admired Miss Ye who had suffered from heart disease since childhood more and more, and could not help but call Lei Wujie: "Lei Wujie, how many Bigu Pills do you have? Hurry up and give Miss Ruoyi two more. Although this thing can't cure Miss Ruoyi's heart disease, it can slowly warm up the blood vessels and meridians. In the long run, Miss Ruoyi may not be cured one day."
Ye Xiaoying was very concerned about this. Before he could ask, Ye Ruoyi took the initiative to explain: "I have taken one pill of this medicine, but I just thought that the quantity is limited and it is very precious, so I thought about asking Lei Wujie for it when I am in danger."
Lei Wujie also understood what Ye Ruoyi meant, and quickly stepped over to explain to his future father-in-law with a shameless face: "Yes, yes, this medicine was given to us by Yuan Xin, and I have been keeping it for Ruoyi!"
Relaxed moments are always short-lived. No matter whether it is the White King, the Red King, or other princes who have not yet emerged but are interested in the throne, no one is willing to see the Yong'an King Xiao Chuhe return to Tianqi City.
Therefore, even though Ye Xiaoying personally led the Ye Ziying to clear the way along the way, they still couldn't deter the scoundrels who kept approaching. What's more, Hua Jin, the young genius doctor from Yaowang Valley, was invited by Lan Yuehou to Tianqi City to see a doctor for Emperor Mingde Xiao Ruojin. Even if Wu Xin wanted to pass on the message to Jiang Xinxin, he was worried that Jiang Xinxin didn't receive the message because she was in seclusion.
