Chapter 647 Dependence
Under the absolute violence, the truth is no longer important. Lu Baizou made three accusations in order to force the palace to be imprisoned, but the senior officials of the Second Town quickly concluded the case.
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 goddess of the desert, 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 war.
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.
In just 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 campus.
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 giant stone, looking at Xu Yuan with gratitude in his eyes, but also with caution.
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 be forced into 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 it was to save Jun Wu before or to cooperate with me just now. 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 us since childhood. He came here specifically to advise me on this matter." General Jin took a deep breath, his old voice carrying A trace of tiredness:
"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 has been 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 overwhelming pressure almost crushed her.
And in this powerlessness, like sinking deep into the bottom of the sea,
She thought of him.
then,
She showed off.
She felt that the guy would definitely find a way, and felt that the guy should be able to help her break the situation.
And it turned out that her guess was right.
After she was forced to start the battle 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 relaxation like exhaustion.
She, who was supposed to be the main part of this forced-concubine drama, was reduced to the background. Ever since Xu Yuan appeared, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
She watched him kill a man dressed as a Confucian scholar on the high tower, watched him lead the wolf to the military formation unscrupulously, and watched him act unscrupulously and destroy him in front of everyone. The loss of Lu Baizou made her helpless.
Everything was handled in an orderly manner by him, and the entire Zhenxi Fucheng was completely prepared for war.
The insects that were originally on the opposite side of her turned their guns and once again stood on a united front with them.
At this point in his thoughts, Li Junwu suddenly came back to his senses, his slender willow eyes filled with a hint of self-deprecating loneliness.
Li Junwu raised his eyes and looked at Xu Yuan, who looked a little uncomfortable:
"Well, I. I'm going back to the government office first."
After saying this, he turned around, but did not leave immediately, standing silently on the spot.
Her chest rose and fell several times, and she wanted to speak several times, but she didn't know where to start.
In this silence,
Li Junwu bit the corners of his plump lips, clenched his fists, and left a trembling sentence:
"Changtian, thank you this time
"Also, this is the last time."
